ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS Clause Samples
ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS. Quantity of emissions reduced or prevented by point source strategies, motor vehicle strategies and area source strategies. * Reductions in air emissions attributed to permitting activities. * Total number of air pollution measurements each year that exceed the concentrations established by federal and state ambient air quality standards. * Total number of person exposure days each year to air pollution levels exceeding federal and state ambient standards. * Long term monitoring trends by pollutant and State Implementation Plan (SIP) monitoring location. * Status of non-attainment areas. * Number of designated non-attainment areas. * Number of designated non-attainment areas that are in monitored attainment of National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). * Number of areas which are re-designated from non-attainment to attainment or are otherwise declared in attainment (e.g. New NAAQS or PM10 (particulate matter smaller than 10µ).
ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS. The following environmental indicators will be used to determine the long term success of the RCRA Program. During fiscal year 1997 EPA and Ecology will work together to assess the appropriateness and measurability of these indicators. Based on these efforts modifications may be made to improve the indicators for use in future agreements.
1. Pounds per year of hazardous waste generated per capita. See goals 1 through 6.
2. Pounds per year of toxic chemicals released to air, land, and water. See goals 1 through 6.
3. Percent per year of hazardous waste (a) reduced, (b) recycled, or (c) treated at industries participating in pollution prevention efforts. See goals 1 through 6.
4. Number of pounds of contaminate stabilized, treated, or removed under RCRA corrective action per year. See goals 1 through 6.
5. Volume of contaminated media remediated or contained under RCRA corrective action per year. See goals 1 through 6.
ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS. Trends in toxics emissions as reported in the National Air Toxics Assessment (NATA)
