The tank is for waste oil storage to supply a waste oil furnace for a vehicle maintenance shop. The spec was based on a Turner saddle tank. The bids were: $1684.34 Lowry Oil Co. Inc., Elizabeth City $1900.00 Eastern Fuels, Edenton $2527.50 Crossroads Fuel Service, Hertford Lowry Oil completed the contract. I believe the actual tank was a 532 gal Turner ASDW-525-12 http://www.turnertanks.com/saddle.html The actual cost of the tank before required fittings and tax was $1419.20 If you want to see the tank or the waste oil furnace you can contact District Ranger John Hurdle at 252-331-4781. Our HQ is located at 861 Berea Church Road, Elizabeth City, NC 27909 Please bear in mind that District 7 has been busy with fires in that area and staff may be hard to get up with.

Its likely you have checked with such places in Albermarle to see who their vendors/suppliers are. A second possibility, and likely at a cheaper cost, is to get used tanks from garages that have closed. The DENR Division of Waste Management, Underground Storage Section can check their data base to see what stations have closed and turned in their UST permits (as permits for underground storage tanks have to be renewed every year). The general UST Section number is 919/ 733-8486, and a good contact the UST permits unit is Annette Parker at 919/ 733-1308.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! This message covers the following areas: * DPPEA EMS on the intranet, * the DPPEA EMS Policy training, * the EMS objectives and targets, * MQP addition, and * writing EMS procedures. You will receive similar messages from the EMS Team in the future that will update you on its status, provide written procedures, and conduct additional training. Your responses to the training questions will be used to determine competency for that specific area of the standard. Your electronic responses will also serve as a record of training receipt (ok you can tell I've been writing this procedure, please don't go to sleep now!). This is the team's first electronic training/competency determination so we may have some changes to make after this intitial session. However, we feel this will be the least demanding of your time and hopefully the most effective means of two-way communication with the EMS. Enough of that, here goes: * The DPPEA EMS in now on our intranet, http://www.p2pays.org/intranet/EMS/emshome.asp, where you can view the finalized materials as well as some works in progress. The intranet will be the vehicle that you are supplied info on the EMS and will be available for your use. * At next Friday's division meeting, Gary will go over the objectives and targets that were developed as a result of the list of significant aspects/impacts and what realistically the division could achieve; they are Conducting Smart Meetings/Events, Increase Reusable Supplies, and Purchase Less Polluting/Toxic Content Computer Monitors. These are detailed on the intranet at the above address. How these will be implemented into division activities will be reviewed next Friday. You can read the worksheets for each one and that hopefully has enough direction on each objective & target. * In our next MQP reviews we will have text describing the individual's participation in the EMS. That information can be found at o:DPPEA EMS/EMS Workplan Addition -- please put this in your MQP sometime before the May reviews. This has been approved by Scott, Sharon and Gary. * For those significant aspects/impacts, standard work instructions will need to be prepared. These will be simply how that activity is to be conducted whether conducting a "Smart Event" or ordering reusable supplies. This will not be painful. We will have a template prepared and the team members will be available to help you. This is something we need to do anyway for the division so this is our opportunity! We will probably start these in March. * For the last part of this long message is the DPPEA EMS Policy Statement Training. Please review the policy statement at http://www.p2pays.org/main/epolicy.asp (or from the reverse side of your handy DPPEA phone list) and send a reply to the following questions to me by March 1, 2002 (next Friday); if you need more time just let me know. 1. In your words, what does the policy mean to you as a DPPEA employee? 2. How do you think, the division EMS will affect your job? 3. How do you think you can encourage the implementation of effective EMSs by other organizations? Everybody must respond to these questions, including the EMS Team Members. I appreciate your time to read and respond. Thanks!

Whether you are a purchaser, student, professor or facilities manager, you are invited to register for National Wildlife Federation's (NWF) upcoming "Teach-In" on green purchasing. In partnership with the National Association of Educational Buyers (NAEB), NWF is hosting this course entirely via the Internet. The "Teach-In" consists of a one-hour "on-demand" Webcast taught by Kevin Lyons, director of procurement at Rutgers University and author of Buying for the Future. The Webcast, available online starting April 10, 2002, will cover green purchasing at higher education institutions focusing specifically on recycled paper, shade-grown coffee, green energy and sustainably harvested wood. As an added incentive, course registrants are eligible to join a series of six online chats throughout the spring and fall with various green purchasing experts, including representatives from New Leaf Paper, University of Colorado- Boulder, Starbucks and other organizations. Support from the Town Creek Foundation enables us to offer the "Teach-In" to NAEB and NWF Campus Ecology members at a discounted rate of $25. The rate for non-members is $40. In addition to several preferential perks offered to course participants, the first 50 registrants will receive $5 off a purchase of $60 or more through National Wildlife Federation's Green Marketplace.

These media are used a lot in proofing and prepress imaging. Either one would be treated as any other photographic waste. The extent of silver would depend on whether the material is used or not and if used, the balance of positive and negative. A commercial user ought to have a waste program in place. A private user may be able to access a supplier's program, or that of a commercial photo or printing shop if they do business with them. The user ought to have a silver trap in the plumbing waste system. The silver is more of a liability than an asset. Maybe reprographic materials will be the next take-back target.

"'Green Home' Can Reduce Costs, Raise Resale"
Orlando Sentinel (03/09/02) P. 7; Foerste, Eleanor C.

The Florida Green Building Coalition has unveiled a new set of voluntary
standards and an affiliated certification program designed to promote
residential construction principles that reduce pollution and
foster healthy communities. The Florida Green Home designation
signifies that a property not only is energy efficient beyond the
level mandated under the state's new unified building code but
also that it is built to conserve water, reduce construction
waste, and minimize the potential of indoor mold and mildew.
Research indicates that Florida Green Homes can be ecologically
beneficial without differing in appearance from other properties.
Moreover, they increase the home's durability, provide mortgage
incentives, improve affordability, and increase profitability
during resale. Both custom and production builders can easily
apply the principles - such as sloping soil away from the
structure and extending downspouts three feet beyond the building
- to either new or existing homes. Certification is awarded,
however, only after an independent third party trained in
principles of environmental design and construction in Florida
verifies implementation of the program's standards.
