Identify any local, state, or federal efforts to remove environmental hazards. <br /> Much of Cabarms County is served by public water and sewer systems, thus reducing <br /> the use of failing septic systems and contaminated wells. Cabarrus County regularly <br /> applies for water and sewer infrastructure grants to supply low to moderate, often <br /> minority, communities with public services. The City of Concord has administered <br /> Brownfield grants to clean up environmental hazards. <br /> <br />What barriers exist to the removal of environmental hazards from the <br />community? A lack of money to serve the entire county with public water and sewer <br />services is the largest barrier. Clean up of environmental hazards is also an expensive <br />endeavor. The City of Concord has applied for and received Brownfield grants to <br />assist with cleanup; however, this dependency on outside funds is also a barrier to <br />removal of environmental hazards. <br /> <br />Conclusions and Recommendations: <br /> <br />Cabarrus Coun(v- /Imd3,sis q/ hnpediments to Fair Housing <br />.4ugus, 13. 200.? ~ - ] <br /> <br />Page 19 of 22 <br /> <br /> <br />
