DOE Awards Noncompetitive Financial Assistance Agreement to the
Scioto Valley Piketon Area
Council of Governments

The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a non-competitive grant to Scioto Valley—Piketon Area Council of Governments (SVPA-COG). The SVPA-COG represents the frontline local governments adjacent to the Portsmouth Site in Piketon, Ohio. Given the direct impact of DOE cleanup decisions on frontline communities, the COG proposes to use the grant to equip COG members with the means to participate in DOE decision-making, to mitigate environmental justice impacts, and to align the cleanup and Portsmouth Site endstate with the COG's priorities. The grant allows for the establishment of a community liaison that will provide technical and regulatory assistance to the local community and surrounding counties, which aligns with the congressional direction on air and ground water monitoring and reporting, land use planning, and technical support to the community. 

The total estimated value of the grant is $500,000.00 for two Budget Periods from June 30, 2022 through June 29, 2024.

Additional information regarding the project is available at: /pppo/portsmouth-site.

What is Root Cause Analysis?
We help you investigate the root causes of why defects are present within a manufacturing process or end product. Many manufacturing professionals only treat an issue's symptoms, or even its intermediate causes, without fixing the root problem - this inattention to the finer details results in recurring difficulties that could otherwise be easily solved.

Is Root Cause Analysis the right fit for your business?
Root Cause Analysis can streamlines operations and ensures your final products are high-quality every time. When you have issues within your manufacturing process, it's imperative to find and remedy those problems before they affect your company on a large scale.

Benefits of Root Cause Analysis
During the Root Cause Analysis, participants will develop an understanding of the concept and perspective to view work as products, instead of activities. Participants will have the opportunity to learn a new tool (product flow map) to improve their analytical and diagnostic skills. Manufactures will also meet and connect with the OSU MEP, which has vast resources including funding from NIST and the OHIO DoD, to help manufacturers grow and thrive.
