GOAL PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND ENHANCE MISSION ACCOMPLISHMENT THROUGH INCORPORATION OF SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP IN PROGRAM PLANNING AND OPERATIONAL DESIGN tool, the Whole Building Design Guide, or the American Society for Testing and Materials’ Standard Guide for the General Principles of Sustainability Relative to Buildings (ASTM E2432) in solicitations and selection criteria for acquiring leased buildings. – Retire inefficient building equipment on an accelerated basis where replacement results in lower life-cycle costs (reduced energy and water consumption, and waste generation). • Green Chemistry – Participate in the EPA/DOE sponsored Laboratories for the 21st Century (Labs21) voluntary program dedicated to improving the environmental performance and stewardship of U.S. laboratories through the design of chemical products and analytical processes that reduce or eliminate the use and/or generation of hazardous substances. – Establish operational assessments (OAs), such as pollution prevention opportunity assessments, of laboratory activities, as objectives and measurable targets in site environmental management systems (EMSs). – Based on OAs, establish objectives and measurable targets in site EMSs for: o development and utilization of more environmentally benign solvents and solvent-less systems that reduce or eliminate the use of hazardous solvents; o design of analytical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and/or generation of hazardous substances; o application of Labs21 Environmental Performance Criteria in the operation of laboratory facilities. • Green Landscaping – Implement cost-effective, sustainable landscape design and management practices to reduce adverse impact to the natural environment and native ecological systems. – Utilize EPA GreenScapes environmentally beneficial landscaping Attachment 2 DOE O 450.1 Chg 2 Page 8 12-7-05 Vertical line denotes change. GOAL PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND ENHANCE MISSION ACCOMPLISHMENT THROUGH INCORPORATION OF SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP IN PROGRAM PLANNING AND OPERATIONAL DESIGN methods to reduce waste and energy usage, conserve water, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. (www.epa.gov/greenscapes). • Identify resources needed to implement this sustainable environmental stewardship goal and site-specific objectives and targets in site annual budgetary processes. DOE O 450.1 Chg 2 Attachment 2 12-7-05 Page 9 GOAL PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND ENHANCE MISSION ACCOMPLISHMENT THROUGH POST-CONSUMER MATERIAL RECYCLING OBJECTIVE STRATEGIES Protect environmental resources, minimize life-cycle cost of DOE programs, and maximize operational capability by diverting materials suitable for reuse and recycling from landfills thereby minimizing the economic and environmental impacts of waste disposal and long-term monitoring and surveillance.

• Establish post-consumer material recycling objectives and measurable targets in site environmental management systems (EMSs). • Recycle office paper, cardboard, aluminum, plastics, and glass. • Recycle spent oil, hydraulic fluid, lubricants, and solvents. • Recycle construction and demolition debris. – Reuse demolition rubble (concrete, brick, and other masonry) on- site by crushing the material to stone for grading, laying utilities, and building roads, driveways and parking areas. Pulverize and reuse gravel asphalt and sub-base. – Utilize the General Services Administration Construction Waste Management Database to identify recyclers of 15 commonly- recycled construction and demolition debris such as concrete, asphalt, masonry, metal, plastic, and wood (cwm.wbdg.org). • Recycle empty, non-refillable, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic pesticide product containers. – Utilize the Ag Container Recycling Council (ACRC), a non- profit organization that collects and recycles professional end- users’ containers of EPA registered pesticide products to include agricultural, turf, forestry, vegetative management, specialty pest control, adjuvants, crop oils, and surfactants (www.acrecycle.org). • Collect spent toner cartridges and batteries for remanufacturing. • Federal Electronics Challenge - Recycle computers, monitors and peripheral information technology electronics. – Extend the useful lifespan of computers through software upgrades; enable power management capabilities, and – Utilize the recycling services available through the following sources as an environmentally compliant means for disposition of end-of-life electronics: Attachment 2 DOE O 450.1 Chg 2 Page 10 12-7-05 Vertical line denotes change.
