Subject: Office of Science Laboratory Pollution Prevention and Energy
Efficiency Goals for FY 2005

On November 12, 1999 the Secretary of Energy issued 14 Department wide
Pollution Prevention and Energy Efficiency (P2/E2) Leadership Goals.
These goals were designed to reflect Presidential Executive Orders and
provide a framework for moving the Department's environmental and energy
management activities beyond compliance.

In November 2000, the Deputy Secretary requested that each DOE site,
working with the DOE Field Offices, establish site specific goals,
provide a description of how they plan to implement the P2/E2 goals, and
what additional resources would be required over the next five years (FY
2001-2005) to achieve these goals. Site-specific goals should be
developed to support the overall DOE-wide goals, however, sites were not
required to adopt them "cart blanch". DOE wide goals were established
under the following topical areas: Reducing Waste and Recycling; Buying
Items with Recycled Content; Improving Energy Usage; Reducing Ozone
depleting substances and greenhouse gases; and Increasing vehicle fleet
efficiency and use of alternative Fuels.

Site goals were to be developed on a life cycle, cost effective basis,
and reflect what can be achieved with the addition of reasonable
resources. Sites with excellent track records and opportunities for
improvement were requested to establish more aggressive goals than those
set DOE wide. Once the site-specific goals were established, the Deputy
Secretary requested that these goals be included in annual performance
plans and contracts.

The attachment provides a summary of the site-specific goals, by topical
area, that have been proposed by the Office of Science Laboratories. It
provides a detailed listing by topical area/goal for each site. This
detailed listing provides limited information on total resource needs
for FY 2002-2004 or is presented on an annual basis (\$/year). The level
of detail and the depth of analysis for developing these cost estimates
vary from site to site. The rationale for the resources was not
presented in all cases. Not all sites provided resource needs or
indicated that they could meet the goals with existing resources. These
resources needs have not been validated nor have they been, to my
knowledge, included in any official budget request from the
laboratories.

These resource needs were to be provided to the Deputy Secretary
(Gauthier), as a way to identify additional resources that would be
needed, and were to be used to justify the develop a mechanism for
funding future P2/E2 activities. With the change of administration,
these needs were not rolled up on a department wide basis, nor were a
mechanism for funding developed. They should only be used as a starting
point for dialogue with our sites to discuss resources and priorities
for P2/E2 activities. Under DOE Order 5400.1 sites are required to,
every three years, update their Site Pollution Prevention Plans. Each
Plan needs to include the "official" site pollution prevention/energy
efficiency goals. The next update to the Plans was due on May 2000, but
is being delayed pending revisions to the DOE Order 54001. (450.1).

The detailed submissions from each of the sites are available on
request. If you have any questions please contact me.

#### Pollution Prevention/Energy Efficiency Goals for FY 2005

**Overview:**

Site specific goals are described under the following topical areas:
Reducing Waste and Recycling; Buying Items with Recycled Content;
Improving Energy Usage; Reducing Ozone depleting substances and
greenhouse gases; and Increasing vehicle fleet efficiency and Use of
alternative Fuels. The Department wide goal is provided along with a
tabular presentation for the proposed site-specific goals. The
site-specific goals indicate the percentage reduction proposed from the
1993 baseline and resources required to meet the proposed goal.

## I. Reducing Waste and Recycling

Five Department-wide goals have been established covering waste
reduction (hazardous, low level radioactive, low level mixed
radioactive, Transuranic); reduced releases of toxic chemicals subject
to Toxic Release Reporting; reduced generation of sanitary waste;
recycling; and reducing waste generated from clean up.

**Waste Reduction:** Sites in general have adopted the DOE wide goals
except in those circumstances where the total quantities of wastes
generated are small and it is not cost effective to reduce waste
generation further. Even with this caveat, the majority of sites have
indicated that additional resources are needed to achieve their proposed
goal. For example ORNL has indicated that with existing resources they
can achieve a 75% reduction goal for Hazardous waste from their 1993
baseline and with an additional \$600,000 they could achieve a 90%
reduction goal. No other sites presented their goals in this manner.

1.  Reduce waste from routine operations by 2005, using a 1993 baseline,
    for these waste types:

    a.  Hazardous 90%

    b.  Mixed Low Level Radioactive 80%

    c.  Low Level Radioactive 80%

    d.  Transuranic 80%

> Hazardous waste

  LBNL           75                  300K (all waste reduction goals)

  ORNL           75/90               600K for 90%

  PNNL           70                  80K/yr

  Ames           80                  0.3 FTE/60K (all goals)

  Fermi          50                  

  ORISE          50                  

  PPPL           90                  240K (1-6, 10 goals)

  SLAC           65                  690K (1-6, 10 goals)

  TJNAF          46                  60K/0.5FTE
  -------------- ------------------- -------------------------------------

-   ANL-E resources will be used to fuly implement the Chemical Exchange
    Program and conduct pollution prevention assessments.

-   BNL resources will be used to further support the existing P2
    infrastructure and conduct and fund p2 opportunities for all waste
    types.

-   ORNL will achieve a 75% reduction with no additional funds.
    Additional funds will be used to implement projects reducing
    hazardous waste.

-   TJNAF will use the resources to maintain staff and programs to
    identify opportunities for waste reduction, training, track and
    report progress in meeting the goals. Limited funds would be used to
    implement identified projects. This applies to all goals (see
    individual resource needs).

-   LBNL will use the \$300K to conduct pollution prevention opportunity
    assessments to identify opportunities to reduce all wastes. SLAC has
    achieved a 48% reduction to date; they feel it is not cost effective
    to go beyond a 65% goal. Resources are needed for several projects
    that will reduce the generation of hazardous waste and other wastes.

-   Resources for Ames include FTE and resources to support the FTE.

-   ORISE has set a 50 reduction goal based on the fact that they have
    reduced their chemical inventory by 80% and there is limited amounts
    of waste left and it would not be cost effective to reduce further.

  ----------------- ----------------------- -----------------------------

-   ANL-E will use the resources to fund various treatment activities to
    reduce the waste.

-   Mixed waste is not generated by Ames, SLAC and TJNAF.

-   ORISE is currently meeting the 2005 goal. Only one program generates
    Mixed low level waste at the site.

  TJNAF             63                      
  ----------------- ----------------------- -----------------------------

-   ANL-E will use the resources to deal with the metals recycling
    suspension and moratorium.

-   SLAC has not set a goal because of difficulties related to breaking
    out routine from non-routine wastes. Ames does not generate low
    level wastes.

-   ORNL will achieve a 70% with no additional funds. Additional funds
    will be used to establish a "Green is Clean" program.

-   Due to the small quantities of waste generated, TJNAF hopes to
    maintain the waste reductions that have achieved to date.

2.  **Reduce releases of toxic chemicals subject to Toxic Chemical
    Release Inventory reporting by 90 percent by 2005, using a 1993
    baseline.**

  TJNAF             NA                      
  ----------------- ----------------------- -----------------------------

-   The sites with NA do not currently report TRI releases. They will
    use the resources to track chemical usage and evaluate the new
    requirements.

-   ORNL will achieve a 50% reduction without additional resources. With
    additional resources, ORNL will fund a denitrification unit for the
    sewage treatment plants.

-   SLAC has no chemicals that currently need to be reported. They are
    evaluating the new EPA requirements and may need to set a goal
    related to lead.

3.  **Reduce sanitary waste from routine operations by 75 percent by
    2005 and 80 percent by 2010, using 1993 baseline.**

  ----------------- ----------------------- -----------------------------

-   ANL-E will purchase a truck scale to improve measurement, and will
    conduct training and awareness and improve communication on this
    subject.

-   BNL does not believe it can meet the DOE wide goal given past
    performance. They have achieved to date a 50% reduction and believe
    they can achieve an additional 15%. Resources will be use to conduct
    assessments, project development, and project implementation.

-   TJNAF is not proposing additional reductions over what they have
    achieved to date. They propose to maintain their level of sanitary
    waste generation.

-   LBNL proposes to use \$166K for a Sanitary Waste Technician to
    coordinate the program will also be used to assist in meeting goal
    4.

-   SLAC has not set a goal since no baseline exists; however efforts
    are ongoing to reduce sanitary wastes.

-   Cost effective waste reduction at TJNAF is not possible due to the
    very small quantities of waste generated and the local markets for
    recycled materials.

-   ORISE had to rebaseline it sanitary waste generation amounts in
    FY 2000. As a result they have selected a 25% reduction level.

4.  Recycle 45 percent of sanitary wastes from all operations by 2005
    and 50 percent by 2010.

-   BNL has already achieved the 45% recycling goal and has set a
    stretch goal of 65%. The resources identify under goal 3 will also
    be used to meet this goal.

-   PPPL will strive to go beyond the 45% goal through continuous
    improvement.

-   BNL does not currently have a tracking system for measuring D&D
    waste. Costs for tracing waste and identifying opportunities is
    estimated at 75K per year.

-   Currently there are no clean up activities at PNNL, ORNL, Ames, and
    TJNAF that are the responsibility of SC; therefore no goals were
    proposed.

**II. Buying Items with Recycled Content**

6.  Increase purchases of EPA-designated items with recycled content to
    100 percent, except when not available competitively at reasonable
    prices or do not meet performance standards.

-   ANL-E will use the resources to develop and implement energy
    conservation projects FY 2002-04.

-   BNL has estimated in order to meet the goal resources are needed for
    energy projects as well as resources for project administration. In
    addition for all energy management goals, BNL estimates an
    additional 11 FTE's (1,000,000) are needed to run a cost effective
    program.

-   LBNL's contract contains a 30% reduction goal.

-   SLAC is proposing lighting upgrades for the resources identified.
    Due to the nature of experimental activities at SLAC a "laboratory"
    reduction goal could not be set.

-   No baseline exist for TJNAF since they were under construction
    in 1985. TJNAF is currently preparing an energy management plan and
    will set more accurate goals once the plan is completed.

-   PPPL is proposing several projects to increase their current energy
    reduction by 5% by 2005. Projects include for example building
    automation, upgrade to cooling towers, installation of new HVAC
    units, etc.

8.  **Increase the purchase of electricity from clean energy sources:**

> **Increase purchase of electricity from renewable energy sources by
> including provisions for such purchase as a component of our request
> for bids in 100 percent of all future DOE competitive solicitations
> for electricity.**
>
> **Increase the purchase of electricity from less greenhouse
> gas-intensive sources, including, but not limited to, new advanced
> technology fossil energy systems, and other highly efficient
> generating technologies.**

Many of the sites did not establish a goal since they are not
responsible for purchasing electricity; this is a DOE responsibility.
Also, several sites, for example purchase their energy from a city or
municipality and do not control where the energy comes from.

**IV. Reducing Ozone Depleting Substances and Greenhouse Gases**

9.  **Retrofit or replace 100 percent of chillers greater than 150 tons
    of cooling capacity and manufactured before 1984 that use class I
    refrigerants by 2005.**

Most sites have already replaced their CFC chillers or have plans
underway, including planned funding to eliminate these chillers.

-   LBNL costs for replacement of halon systems in several buildings.

-   SLAC projects are for the elimination of Halon systems, HVAC
    equipment replacement and a chiller replacement (\<150 tons). The
    LCA savings are estimated at \$431,000.

-   BNL has not set a specific goal but resources will be used to
    identify opportunities to reduce/eliminate ODS and cover
    administrative costs associated with the ODS reduction plan.

-   TJNAF will utilize funds to program management and replacement of
    small chillers, and water coolers.

-   ORISE by the end of 2002 will meet this goal.

11. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions attributed to facility energy use
    through life-cycle cost-effective measures by 25 percent by 2005 and
    30 percent by 2010, using 1990 as a baseline.
