The major components of this regional program will include: educating target businesses on the theory of, resources available for, and benefits of P2; providing technical assistance per specific industry; distributing relevant P2 information to a wide variety of businesses; developing an incentive program to encourage individual business participation; and evaluating the effectiveness of the program. Boulder and Larimer Counties each currently have a P2 program in place, providing a head start on the planning and development of a multi -county program. These in - place programs will also eliminate the need to 're -invent the wheel" in researching and providing technical assistance to various industries, for example: print shops, dry cleaners, and automotive body shops. The proposed regional P2 program will be implemented in three phases over the course of three years. (Larimer and Boulder Counties have already accomplished one or more objectives in each phase and will continue with current activities, but will also be providing ongoing support for the development of P2 programs in Weld and the Northeast Counties.) Phase I of this regional P2 program will involve the following: ► identify target industries in each participating county ► identify and network with trade associations, professional associations, business groups, universities, etc ► develop regional advisory group in each participating county with representatives from business, government, interested citizens, etc ► develop technical resource library to be available to each participating county ► establish regular communication between participating counties ► introduce and 'sell' the P2 program to target industries ► train staff on technical issues ► develop incentives package to encourage business participation ► report on progress to advisory group, health department directors, etc Phase II will move on to: ► develop and provide workshops on P2 strategies targeted at specific industries ► perform on -site evaluations and provide specific recommendations to prevent pollution in individual businesses ► provide incentives to encourage business involvement ► begin to evaluate the effectiveness of the program Phase III will encompass: ► the development of a model capable of being applied in any area wishing to establish a P2 program ► planning for permanent funding to ensure the maintenance of the regional P2 program ► finishing the evaluation of the program, including documenting both successful and unsuccessful case studies for future use ► ensuring that each participating county has adequately addressed P2 issues for all target industries, including agriculture, within its borders The proposed regional Pollution Prevention program will impact various areas in Colorado: the Northwestern Denver Metro Area (Boulder County), the Northern Front Range (Larimer and Weld Counties), and North Eastern Colorado (Logan, Morgan, Phillips, Sedgwick, Washington, Weld, and Yuma Counties). Statewide impact will be furthered with the development of a model program (discussed in Phase III) which could be applied to interested county or region in Colorado. 951 363 The final evaluation of the program will occur in Phase III and will encompass each measurable objective in Phases I and II. For example, each county will provide the number of workshops held for each target industry as well as the number of attendees at each one. Each workshop participant would also have the opportunity to evaluate his/her experience by completing a pre- printed survey form, commenting on factors ranging from the quality of material presented to the enthusiam of the presenters. Other quantifiable elements include the reduction of toxics usage based upon follow-up site visits, the number of on -site and follow-up visits completed, case studies, and the amount and quality of educational materials developed and disseminated, evaluations completed by advisory group members, etc. Relevant P2 program information will be distributed to target industries throughout the participating counties via the health departments, business trade associations, and professional associations. Many outlets and networks exist to facilitate the distribution of information regarding this regional P2 project to any requesting agency or person. These include the Pollution Prevention Partnership, a Pollution Prevention Advisory Board, the Pollution Prevention Colorado Network Committee, the Colorado Environmental Health Association (CEHA), as well as several national organizations. One of the key elements of this project is to develop a capability within each of the collaborating counties to provide pollution prevention services beyond the term of the grant project. To accomplish this, staff in each agency will be trained so that they have a baseline knowledge and capability to carry on the services. The resource library will continue to be available via electronic and hard copy transfer. The format and content for business workshops will be in place. A support network will exist to assist staff from any of the counties with their ongoing pollution prevention efforts. Pollution prevention is a multi -faceted concept and the principles may be easily transferred from one business segment to another. The focus of this proposal is to foster an awareness of and capability to apply pollution prevention strategies to a variety of business classifications in each of the participating areas. Once the business community places a value on pollution prevention, application of its principles will become "business as usual". 951363 Memorandum To: Dale Hall, Board of County Commissioners CC: <-'11/ j From: John Pickle, Director, Weld County Health Depar4Cnt Date: June 30, 1995 Subject: Pollution Prevention Grant Bid The Department requests your approval to submit a bid for Pollution Prevention Grant funds from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The Environmental Protection Services Divisions is proposing to participate in a regional collaborative effort with the Northeast, Boulder County and Latimer County Health Departments. The project would involve an educational outreach with small businesses to assist them in minimizing pollutant emissions and discharges to the air, land and water. Participation by industry would be on a voluntary basis. The participants in the project are requesting $50,000 from the State. This project would be funded for three consecutive years. The grant requires no matching funds and would be implemented in Weld County with existing personnel. Thank you for considering this request. 951363 Hello
