9 ORNL’s Performance Based Management System (PBMS) The Laboratory Agenda – ORNL’s Strategic Planning Process

10 FY06 Planning Is Built On FY05 Progress Strategic intent and high level outcomes Situation assessment FY06 objectives, actions & measures Activity-based budgets What are we trying to achieve over the next few years? Where do we stand? What progress have we made against FY05 objectives? What has our operational experience taught us? What will we do in FY06, how will we do it and how will it be measured? What resources are needed to obtain these results?

11 Planning Documents That Feed Into Strategic Planning Update strategic intent and long-term goals Situation assessment FY06 objectives: what, how, when, who Business and staffing projections Activity-based budget as applicable Issues and support needs Work force plans at Division level Initiative PlansManagement System Plans High level outcomes and associated measures Situation assessment FY06 objectives: what, how, when, who Activity-based budget Issues and support needs Limited opportunity for operational improvement projects Expected outcomes Situation assessment and progress to date (if applicable) FY06 objectives: what, how, when, who Activity-based budget Issues and support needs Level 1 plans 14 Directorates 25 Management Systems

12 Four Basic Process Steps in PBMS Developing Business and Performance Assessment Plans Conducting Actions/Commitments and Assessments Managing Results Analyzing and Reporting Results

13 Plan, Do, Check, Act

14 Enhance Operational Discipline and Safety Culture & Resolve Legacy Issues ORNL will plan and perform Laboratory operations in a reliable and effective manner to protect the environment, safety, and health of our staff and the public. ORNL will resolve its legacy issues to ensure that critical operations and infrastructure are sustained. Demonstrate continual improvement in ES&H performance, moving towards best in class/world class.

15 Determining EMS Objectives and Targets Laboratory Strategic Planning Process Environmental Policy Commitments Significant Environmental Aspects Customer Expectation/Contractual Commitments Previous Year’s Environmental Performance and Operational Experience Results of EMS Management Review Process The following is taken into consideration: Once identified, EMS Objectives and Targets are fed through the ORNL Strategic Planning Process to ensure the appropriate level of “buy-in” and “flow down” of responsibilities to line organizations.

16 UT-Battelle Environmental Policy Commitments Comply with applicable regulations/ requirements Prevent pollution Improve ORNL processes Communicate environmental information to staff, customers, and the public Protect and restore the environment All ORNL staff must understand the environmental requirements and potential consequences of their work. UT-Battelle implemented EMS awareness training for all staff. All ORNL staff must understand the environmental requirements and potential consequences of their work. UT-Battelle implemented EMS awareness training for all staff. The EMS is located on the ORNL Standards Based Management System (SBMS) website. It contains environmental requirements and is designed to ensure compliance with these requirements It identifies and controls the impact we have on the environment It drives continual improvement in environmental performance The EMS is located on the ORNL Standards Based Management System (SBMS) website. It contains environmental requirements and is designed to ensure compliance with these requirements It identifies and controls the impact we have on the environment It drives continual improvement in environmental performance

17 Significant Environmental Aspects Hazardous Waste Generation Radioactive Waste Generation PCB Waste Generation Mixed Waste Generation Air Emissions Liquid Discharges Storage or Use of Chemicals Storage or Use of Radioactive Materials Physical Disturbance of Aquatic Environs

18 EMS Objectives/Results We achieved “Outstanding” performance in the FY05 environmental composite Maintain ISO14001 EMS with no major NCs Zero permit non- conformances. Zero findings from regulatory inspections No reportable releases to environment No non-conformances to DOT requirements and TSDF Waste Acceptance Critieria Compliance Commitments:

19 EMS Objectives – Going Beyond Compliance Achieve 50% reduction in routine solid waste generation over two years Decrease vulnerabilities associated with legacy facilities and materials Decrease vulnerabilities associated with radioactive waste accumulation Improve EMS though self- assessments 100% 75% 50% FY03FY04 FY05 ORNL Waste Generation

20 EMS Objectives – Going Beyond Compliance Reduce regulated liquid discharges by 2,000,000 gallons per year Reduce permitted air emissions from steam plant by 1,000 pounds/year Line organization implementation of plans to reduce impacts associated with at least one significant environmental aspect

21 Examples of Line Org Plans to Reduce Aspects Environmental Science Division –Replace elemental analyzer with model that will reduce 75% less hazardous waste –Dispose of radioactive contaminated equipment (Wiley Mill) and historical samples Research Reactors Division –To control temperature at NPDES Outfall 281, install controls to detect and reroute cooling water blowdown when temperature limits are exceeded. Life Sciences Division –Eliminate legacy materials and equipment in several laboratories.
