Environmental Results. Innovation/Pollution Prevention It is the intent of the Parties to reinvest the Title V savings into environmentally significant pollution prevention projects. One of the pollution prevention projects that will take place is the installation of a compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station on the base, the conversion of certain base fleet vehicles to be capable of using CNG as well as the procurement of dual fuel and dedicated CNG fuel vehicles. The exact number of vehicles that will become CNG capable has not yet been determined. The base has an active CNG working group composed of members from the Civil Engineering Squadron and Logistics Group that are in the process of developing the details of the fleet. The most likely scenario is to convert a combination of light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles and acquiring dual fuel and dedicated CNG vehicles. Converted vehicles will be tested to ensure they result in reduced emissions, manufactured dual fuel and dedicated fuel vehicles will also be analyzed to ensure positive environmental performance. The cleaner-burning CNG vehicles will contribute to reduced carbon monoxide (CO) emissions for Elmendorf and will demonstrate to the general public that this level of technology is achievable and beneficial. Carbon monoxide is a product of the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and is emitted directly from the tailpipe of vehicles. Carbon monoxide enters the bloodstream through the lungs and forms carboxyhemoglobin, a compound that inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen. People with heart disease are particularly sensitive to CO poisoning. Infants, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory diseases are also sensitive receptors. Carbon monoxide can also affect healthy people by impairing the capacity to exercise, visual perception, manual dexterity, learning functions, and the ability to perform complex tasks. Elmendorf has assembled a list of other feasible pollution prevention opportunities available at the base, along with the estimated costs and environmental benefits of each opportunity. The Parties have discussed the opportunities for HAC reduction projects. The Parties agree to meet in a public forum to discuss selection of the opportunities called for under this Agreement. Upon agreement of the opportunity or opportunities by the Parties, they will sign a supplemental Agreement no later than September 30, 2001, setting forth the opportunities selected and any necessary measures to assure their per...

Environmental Results. In the original FR notice describing the criteria for evaluating XL projects, EPA set forth a standard that projects chosen as XL pilots should be able to achieve environmental performance that is superior relative to what would have been achieved through compliance with otherwise applicable requirements. In April 1997, EPA refined its definition of superior environmental performance, adding a two-tiered test that project sponsors and the Agency need to consider when developing and evaluating potential XL pilot projects. Although the Imation XL project was proposed, evaluated, and accepted based on the original criteria for demonstration of superior environmental performance, the Agency believes that this project also meets the more refined definition put forth in the April 1997 FR notice (62 Fed. Reg. 19873, April 23, 1997). This XL Project creates some significant environmental benefits that exceed the baseline of performance that would have reasonably occurred in the absence of the project. First, Imation has agreed to capture and control efficiencies for VOCs and HAPs that go beyond the requirements of the regulations to which they are subject. For HAPs, Imation is agreeing to meet the requirements of the magnetic tape manufacturing maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standard (See 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart EE), even though some facility operations may not be subject to this standard. In addition, Imation has agreed to conduct BACT/TBACT analyses for any emission-related changes at the facility. These analyses could result in installation of even more stringent control technology for VOCs and HAPs. Imation has further agreed to use an advanced FTIR-CEMS which allows the facility to speciate and quantify organic emissions from the stack on a continuous basis. The capabilities of the FTIR-CEMS are well beyond those required by all applicable requirements, and the speciation provided by this equipment will allow Imation to optimize their operation of the SRU, thus maximizing control of organic emissions. A final, potential environmental benefit associated with this project involves some of the VOC emission reduction credits (ERCs) donated by Imation to the District. The District will either retire the ERCs or sell them to companies who have been screened according to their environmental track record. The environmental benefit would result from the reduction of VOC emissions represented by retiring the ERCs from the air, or from emission reductio...

Environmental Results. Enhanced coordination, communication, and project activities leading to increased public support, increased awareness of and willingness to adopt relevant conservation practices, adoption of those practices, and continued learning regarding conservation practice effectiveness and impact (through stakeholder communities and forums) are expected to reduce nutrient loss and nutrient loading to tributary streams and rivers across watersheds throughout the Mississippi River/Atchafalaya River Basin (MARB) resulting in their meeting nutrient standards for nitrogen and phosphorus and improved surface water quality and aquatic health in MARB and Gulf of Mexico through higher dissolved oxygen levels and fewer Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs).

Environmental Results. RECIPIENT PERFORMANCE REPORTING All Recipients (other than recipients of State or Tribal Program grants under 40 C.F.R. Parts 35 Subparts A/B and 40 CFR Part 35, Subparts K and L) Performance Reports: The recipient agrees to submit performance reports that include brief information on each of the following areas: 1) a comparison of actual accomplishments to the outputs /outcomes established in the assistance agreement workplan for the period; 2) the reasons for slippage if established outputs/outcomes were not met; and 3) additional pertinent information, including, when appropriate, analysis and information of cost overruns or high unit costs.

Environmental Results. The desired long term result of this effort is reversal of the gradual degradation of Puget Sound and the Georgia Basin from urban sprawl and development. This reversal will be measured in terms of cessation in the invasion of exotic species, restoration of the near shore habitat, recovery in numbers of marine invertebrates, fish and wildlife, and elimination of tumors and reduction of toxic chemicals in bottom fish. Roles: Both Ecology and EPA will provide technical assistance, policy support, and community involvement support.‌

Environmental Results. To evaluate the environmental impacts of the Atlantic Steel redevelopment, EPA, consulted with stakeholders, including the Federal Highway Administration, the Atlanta Regional Commission and local citizens’ organizations, and decided to perform three main analyses: 1) regional transportation and air emissions impacts; 2) local carbon monoxide impacts; and 3) site level travel and multi-media impacts. A description of the analysis methodology and a thorough discussion of the results is contained in Appendix
