Barriers to Progress
Resistance - old habits
Leadership – top down commitment
Fiscal resources
Space limits
Awareness
Confusion

Areas of Needed Improvementbased on observations from site visits…
Cover, Contain and Elevate all sources of runoff pollution
(i.e., supplies, wastes, dirt/compost/mulch stockpiles)
Poorly functioning waste receptacles (i.e., lidless & leaking)
Ensure delivery personnel know P2 policies & procedures
Adhere to E&S for earth disturbance, streets, utility projects
Landscaping/mowing reliance on fuel/toxics
Water Quality Insert inspection-cleanout procedures

Other Improvements Needed
Better documentation
Simplify/standardize P2 practices - make it easy for staff (i.e., spill cleanup products in-stock and accessible)
Ensure subcontractors /delivery services know proper procedures
Oversight - summer staff and new employees

Research/Information Needs
Vehicle Washing - is wash-water sufficiently treated; which cleaning products are preferable
Surfactants and water quality inserts / oil grit separators
How biodegradable is “biodegradable”
Effectiveness and impacts of citrus-based degreasers & aqueous products (impacts on equipment)
Road Salt / Deicing Alternatives – environmental impacts, optimum application
Case studies and Municipal Staff Presentations (peer-to-peer)
