 The Great Lakes Commission (GLC) requests pre-proposals to support the
Great Lakes Air Deposition (GLAD) program for 2010.   

 The purpose of the GLAD program is to safeguard the environment and human
health from the adverse effects of atmospherically deposited toxic
contaminants in the Great Lakes region. This program supports scientific
investigation and the development of assessment tools to identify the
magnitude, sources and impacts of toxic contaminant deposition within the
region and to facilitate concerted and strategic actions to mitigate such
impacts.

Proposals should focus on contaminants of concern for atmospheric deposition
in the Great Lakes region and should demonstrate a likelihood that the
contaminant(s) being examined are depositing to the region's waterways from
the atmosphere in a quantity that may cause adverse impacts to humans or
wildlife.  Proposals must describe tangible benefits delivered to the Great
Lakes states and how projects will assist the state agencies and their
partners in taking informed actions toward assessing and reducing the
occurrence and impact of atmospheric deposition of toxic substances.

 The 2010 Request for Pre-Proposals identifies priority project areas that
are specifically targeted for the upcoming year:

*	

	Impacts of atmospherically deposited toxic pollutants on Great Lakes
wildlife;
*	

	Effects of climate change on toxic deposition and bioaccumulation;
*	

	Great Lakes Coordinated Science and Monitoring Initiative;
*	

	Demonstrate the influence of remaining local, continental and
controllable sources; 
*	

	Characterize emissions from burning of agricultural plastics; and 
*	

	Emerging compounds.
