Environmental Benefit. This project will aid in the rescue and rehabilitation of several types of animals that may be impacted by environmental emergencies, such as shorebirds, raptors, sea turtles, dolphins, and manatees. The vehicles purchased through this project allow for a more adaptable and comprehensive response to wildlife needs. Helping to save these species contributes to the preservation of biodiversity, helping maintain the delicate ecological balance within the Texas Gulf Coast region. With healthier populations of these species, there is a positive impact on the region’s food web, ecosystem stability, and overall biodiversity. A thriving wildlife population fosters a robust Gulf Coast ecosystem, creating an optimal environment for sustainable living of wildlife and humans.

Environmental Benefit. This SEP will provide a discernible environmental benefit by preventing wastewater discharges being released into the environment during the collection process. Wastewater discharges can carry bacteria, viruses, protozoa (parasitic organisms), helminths (intestinal worms), and bioaerosols (inhalable molds and fungi). The diseases they may cause range in severity from mild gastroenteritis to life-threatening ailments such as cholera, dysentery, infectious hepatitis, and severe gastroenteritis. Additional risks include occurrences of low dissolved oxygen, fish kills, algal bloom, and bacterial contamination in waterways.

Environmental Benefit. With information gained from the performance measures, and with the regu- latory flexibility provided by the pilot project, re- sources can ultimately be shifted to address the greatest environmental concerns in the watershed. Project Status and Results Louisville and Jefferson County MSD’s strategy is to take better information and reallocate re- sources with this XL program to create environ- mental benefits according to a specific prioritization strategy. The Superior Environmental Performance: Louisville and Jefferson County MSD proposes to better manage its pretreatment program through a holistic watershed approach, leading to improved pollutant loading trends in the watershed. Louis- ville and Jefferson County MSD aims to develop a specific strategy to monitor and identify pollut- ant sources, conduct pollution prevention outreach, provide education and technical assistance, and reinvest cost savings in watershed-based improve- ments. Progress in Meeting Commitments (As of October 2001) Louisville and Jefferson County MSD is in the ini- tial stage of project implementation. They have met the following commitments: • Louisville and Jefferson County MSD has col- lected data to establish a baseline for existing pollutant loadings. • Louisville and Jefferson County MSD and stakeholders developed the criteria for pollut- ants of concern, pretreatment program modi- fications, superior environmental performance, and project accountability programs to be implemented. • On October 3, 2001, EPA promulgated a rule amending the National Pretreatment Program regulations to allow POTWs that have com- pleted the Project XL selection process, includ- ing FPA development, to modify their approved local pretreatment programs. These POTWs will be allowed to modify their pro- grams, and implement the new local programs as described in their FPAs. Commitments for the future of the project include the following: • Louisville and Jefferson County MSD will continue to collect and analyze data in the wa- tershed and develop performance measures in order to move toward a more holistic water- shed protection strategy. • In Phase 2, EPA intends to propose and issue (subject to applicable procedures and review of public comments) a site-specific rule should one prove necessary, amending 40 CFR 403, that applies specifically to MSD’s Jefferson wastewater treatment plant. Then EPA intends to work with the Commonwealth of Kentucky to issue a permit or a permit modification un- der ...

Environmental Benefit. According to local emissions inventories of the Corpus Christi area, approximately 35% of ozone precursors are caused by or emitted from mobile sources. OBD-II MIL is the current national standard for passing and failing emissions inspections for mandatory inspection and maintenance programs. In this voluntary program, the same method is used to identify vehicles needing repair and screen older vehicles to identify gross polluters. The voluntary program helps vehicle operators that may not know their vehicles are polluting or may not have the resources to have emissions-reducing repairs performed. This project addresses and lessens emissions by incentivizing motorists to get their vehicles checked, learn about vehicle maintenance, and repair their vehicles. Repairs from this program will reduce emissions estimated at: Hydrocarbons (HC): 4-6 tons Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) : 5-8 tons Carbon Monoxide (CO): 102-161 tons Quantifiable emissions reductions are based on one or a combination of methods and assumes a two-year duration of repair.
