Community Health Study. The Settlement Agreement provides for a new Community Health Study that would provide a data-driven assessment of the potential causes of the disparate health outcomes in Globeville, Elyria and Swansea neighborhoods, including but not limited to those disparate health outcomes identified in the 2014 Assessment. The new study would consider a full range of possible significant causes of these disparate health outcomes, including without limitation, pollution (air, soil, water, noise) from stationary and mobile sources (including vehicles using Interstate 70), socioeconomic factors, barriers to mobility, and availability of healthy foods, such as fresh vegetables. An objective of the Community Health Study will be to provide best estimates, as scientifically warranted, of the extent to which these possible significant causes contribute to the adverse health outcomes in Globeville, Elyria and Swansea. The Community Health Study will not separately analyze the specific effects of the Project, but will consider the effects of pollutants, noise and vehicle and rail traffic as part of the overall range of possible significant causes of current and expected future adverse health outcomes. Finally, the Community Health Study will not identify possible policy measures or make policy recommendations, but will provide the public and policymakers with information that can help inform future policy discussions. The Health Study will not be attributed to CDOT or FHWA, nor will the outcome of the Community Health Study be construed to reflect the position or opinion of CDOT or FHWA. Petitioners and CDOT will create a steering committee (the “Steering Committee”) which will consist of four representatives: one person designated by CDPHE; one person designated by the City and County of Denver; one person designated by Petitioners; and a nationally recognized and independent expert in the field of public health to be chosen by unanimous vote of the above three representatives (“Independent Steering Committee Member”). The activities of the Steering Committee and the processes for undertaking the Community Health Study will be set forth in a separate Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) among Petitioners, CDOT, CDPHE and the City and County of Denver (“Denver”). The members of the Steering Committee (other than the Independent Steering Committee Member) will consult with CDPHE to develop criteria acceptable to all Steering Committee members for the procurement of the Independe...
