Factors to Consider in Picking Groups and Indicators

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

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

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

Single Media Multi Media

Regulatory or Good Practices Only

Both Regulatory and Good Practices

Few requirements Many Requirements

Clear Cut Requirements

Subjective Requirements

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

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…
