CleanOhio.com, as the name suggests, is also a resource for Ohio Townships, Municipalities, Counties or Villages who are undertaking recreation projects, land conservation efforts or brownfield redevelopment projects for which Clean Ohio funding is sought. Of particular interest to those seeking assistance from the CleanOhio Fund, CleanOhio.com is a one-stop resource for those seeking to:

1. Evaluate re-development and revitilization of brownfield sites;
2. Obtain funding assistance for new construction of public recreational trails and park spaces;
3. Explore options available to facilitate farmland preservation;
4. Secure funding assistance for the acquisition of riparian corridors, viewsheds, or sensitive natural habitat.

This site visits a range of environmental and land use issues facing developers, manufacturers, public boards or agencies and agribusiness interests.

In addition to the particular areas of emphasis mentioned above, Joe Minadeo, Site Administrator, is well-versed in a range of technical and legal matters facing sewer and water facility managers. Among these are the strict compliance with applicable drinking water standards, third-party certifications (UL and NSF), preparation of monthly operating reports, on-site storage of hazardous materials and a host of other issues.  This site is a hobby and an informational resource.  Nothing herein constitutes legal advice or the presumption of an attorney-client relationship.  In addition, this site is not sanctioned by, sponsored or funded by the State of Ohio. 

CleanOhio.com currently maintains and will seek to further develop an array of materials that may be of use to public officials and private business managers regarding matters of environmental policy. These resources will take several forms including compliance "road maps"; application forms; links to other internet resources, fact sheets, articles and advisories.
