EMS Experiences in Federal Facilities and Elsewhere

[Robert S Butner <butner@battelle.org>]

     P2TECH'ers --
     
     I'd appreciate anyone who can provide insights to one of my colleagues 
     who is working on a primer for EMS's.  His eloquent problem statement 
     is attached below.  He tried picking my brain on the topic but soon 
     realized just how futile THAT is!  Sooner or later, everyone figures 
     that out....
     
     Those who want to respond to the list, should do so.  Otherweise, you 
     should reply directly to Dan:  dj_schultheisz@pnl.gov
     
     
DOE and EPA are putting together an Environmental Management System Primer for 
Federal Facilities.  We're looking for concrete examples, lessons learned, 
thoughts, and quotes on EMS planning and implementation.  Specific topics 
include pollution prevention, performance indicators, audits and conformity 
assessment, and regulatory approaches.  For example, does an EMS help identify 
or take advantage of P2 opportunities?  Any experience is welcome, Federal focus
is best.

THanks.
