The EPA will present an award to Boeing for its leadership to help
revitalize the Chemical Commodities, Inc. (CCI) Superfund Site in Olathe,
KS. Boeing has worked with the Olathe community to install a pollinator
habitat and educational trail for monarch butterflies during their
pollination season throughout the Midwest.

*	Oct 23, 2012

Boeing will be presented with the Leading Environmentalism and Forwarding
Sustainability Award (LEAFS), the first time this award has been presented
in Region 7. Representatives from Haley and Aldrich, Monarch Watch,
Pollinator Partnership, and the CCI Community Advisory Group also will be
recognized. Boeing and the Olathe community have worked together in create a
pollinator habitat and educational trail for monarch butterflies during
their pollination season throughout the Midwest; the site is designed to
educate the public about pollination.

Boeing's support to redevelop this site extends beyond the EPA requirement
to clean up hazardous waste in communities. The EPA Reuse Initiative has
been successful in facilitating the redevelopment of Superfund sites across
the nation. This award recognizes Boeing for working with the community to
enhance the site and to bring change to the area by giving back to the
community a productive and useful property.

To help the community become involved in this long-term reuse project, an
Adopt-A-Garden concept has been established to find community organizations
such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, science classes from local schools, or
other entities that have a community involvement requirement to donate their
time in maintaining the pollinator beds.
