1 Factors to Consider in Picking Groups and Indicators

2 To do list Homework –Instructions –Add identifying information –Add “can’t do’s” –Send out electronically –Fill out model sheet –Time frames Cut one rule out, interested, really interested: August 1 Share results ASAPs (on NEWMOA Web if we can) September 1 get charts filled out Training towards end of September

3 Some Groups States Are Currently Working On Hazardous Waste Generators TSDFs Air Operating Permits Marinas Soils Recyclers Underground Storage Tanks Colleges and Universities Hospitals Photo Processors Commercial Offsite HW Recyclers Printers Commercial Offsite HW Recyclers Stage 2 Programs NPDES Majors NPDES Minors Active Landfills Exterior Lead Paint Contractors K-12 Schools Auto Salvage / Junk Yards Dry Cleaners OTHERS

4 More groups (added during meeting) Auto body Auto repair Dental clinics Used oil handlers and recyclers Electronics recyclers Furniture strippers Radiator repair Metal fabricators Spray booth operators Municipal operations potws dpws water utilities Portable minor sources eg. wood chippers stump grinder crushers, air sources small automotive touch up operations Boat builders platers

5 State interest (added during meeting) CT exterior lead contractors, used oil sector, sqgs CO SQG or hospitals (sqg would participate) NY printers, autobody generators would participate ) NH pass generators, auto body, auto salvage, municipal facilities CA USTs (but learning state) RI stage II pretty easy auto salvage junkyards MM interesting, challenging NJ dental amalgam, autobody MA sqg, any existing erp sector, air minors,dental amalgam, stage II

6 Complexity of Group Easier to Collect Good Data Harder to Collect Good Data Similar FacilitiesDiverse Facilities Small UniverseLarge Universe

7 Experience With Group Easier to Collect Good Data Harder to Collect Good Data Existing GroupNew Group Existing Data SystemNo Data System Existing Common Definitions No Common Definitions Known UniverseUnknown Universe Existing ChecklistsNo Checklists Historical DataNo Historical Data

8 Complexity of Indicators Easier to Collect Good Data Harder to Collect Good Data Single MediaMulti Media Regulatory or Good Practices Only Both Regulatory and Good Practices Few requirementsMany Requirements Clear Cut Requirements Subjective Requirements

9 Other? (added during meeting) Similarity of requirements across states Numbers of facilities across the states Picking groups so we get a set of standard indicators for each media Federal as well as state regulatory requirements e.g. bact, mact, Important environmental problems (may or may not be federal requirements) Ability to link to an environmental outcome Regulatory sophistication of the group

10 More other (added during meeting) Small universe may mean lower environmental benefit Bigger the universe the lower the per facility measurement cost Compliant versus problem group – Problem group could be so bad its too hard to deal with Language barriers Whether or not facilities are in our system…
