Presented by: Sanford Jaffe and Linda Stamato, Rutgers University; and William Librizzi, New Jersey Institute of Technology
This session will discuss a Technical Outreach Services for Communities (TOSC) project involving a communitys capacity to participate effectively in implementing a consent decree between EPA and the power authority that operates a generating plant in Cantaño, Puerto Rico. Part of the session will be devoted to presenting the process for designing and presenting a Negotiations and Facilitation workshop that was presented to Cantaño community members, U.S. EPA, and Puerto Rico EPA representatives. A role-play exercise and discussion will be used to train participants in how to develop community capacity to negotiate and have open dialogue among adversaries.
