Preliminary Assessment Of Client Interest In And Needs Of The New England Environmental Finance Center, New England Environmental Finance Center, University Of Southern Maine
Planning
The New England Environmental Finance Center (NE/EFC) has been conceived as a knowledge-based clearinghouse, training, and change-agent program aimed at helping EPA's constituencies find financially successful approaches to environmental improvements. The NE/EFC will develop approaches to needs of particular priority in New England and potentially useful throughout the nation; share such approaches through the EFC national network; and help make tools from that network accessible throughout New England. In 1999 we began exploring with potential users how this ninth of the nation's EFCs might best address the region's needs. The assessment continued through the Muskie School's EFC proposal to EPA …
Tackling The Iso 14000 Maze: Which Firms Adopt And Which Do Not?, Steven A. Melnyk, Robert Sroufe, Frank L. Montabon, Roger Calantone
Tackling The Iso 14000 Maze: Which Firms Adopt And Which Do Not?, Steven A. Melnyk, Robert Sroufe, Frank L. Montabon, Roger Calantone

ISO 14000 constitutes a major dilemma for most American firms in that they are not sure whether or not to actively pursue this new form of certification. This new standard is attractive as it holds the promise of helping firms become more efficient via better management of waste, yet this new standard deals with environmental performance, a potentially dangerous legal area. Both benefits and cost liabilities are very difficult to quantify and forecast. This leads to great uncertainty as to whether the benefits offered by improving environmental performance are sufficient to outweigh the costs incurred in obtaining certification. This study …

To some managers Environmentally Responsible Manufacturing (ERM) can be seen as an opportunity to better understand processes and reduce waste. To others, ERM is an unwarranted intrusion into their functional responsibilities. This paper explores the reasons for these two very different views of ERM. The paper begins by defining the concepts of ERM and Environmental Management Systems (EMS) and identifying the reasons for the increasing importance now associated with each of these concepts. Drawing on the results of a large-scale survey of American managers, a summary of current practices associated with EMS at the plant level is given. Additionally, analysis …

Floyd Bennett Field (FBF), 579 ha in extent, is a division of Gateway National Recreation Area. It is the site of a former airfield, constructed by filling salt marshes with dredged materials. Except for the portion known locally as the “North Forty,” all sections of FBF have been cut over to maintain low vegetation. A grassland management plan (GRAMP) for 165 ha was initiated in 1986, to maintain habitats for open-country birds. Over the next few years, encroaching woody vegetation was removed manually and mechanically from the management area. Since then, it has been maintained as a grassland and receives …

Water
The town of Yarmouth currently has a $30 million septic sludge treatment plant and transport lines in place. The vast majority of the dwellings and businesses in the Hyannis Park area are on septic systems that are viable and Title 5 compliant, regardless of age. Conventional, "non-failing" septic systems, however, were never intended to remove form their effluent nutrients such as nitrogen. These have become recognized as an environmental threat only as our understanding of the impacts of excess nutrients on ecosystems has increased in recent decades.

The current recycling program on the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) campus does not have a special event recycling aspect. The purpose of this study was to develop a special event recycling program and make recommendations of how to effectively implement it on the UNLV campus. In order to develop this special event recycling program data was collected through surveys and a pilot study. The data collected was then used to formulate recommendations. Recycling two different kinds of events, a walk and a concert tested those recommendations. Waste stream analyses were done on each event. The waste stream diversion …
The True Truth About Kgi And The Field Station, Paul Faulstich
The True Truth About Kgi And The Field Station, Paul Faulstich
Pitzer Faculty Publications and Research
There are multiple truths. One is the true truth. This truth remains the same no matter what anyone thinks or says about it. For example, it is true truth that we need oxygen. and that trees provide it. No matter what we think or say about it, this is the way it is. And, the Bernard Biological Field Station is habitat to threatened and endangered plants and animals. This, too, we know to be true.
