Raw Data Propane
• Used: 29299 gal. for 2010.
– 29299 gal x 5.59 kg CO2/gal= 163781 kg CO2
– 29299 gal x 0.001 kg CH4/gal= 29.3 kg CH4
– 29299 gal x 0.0001 kg N2O/gal= 2.92 kg N2O
• Emissions:
– 163781+(29.3*25)+(2.92*298)=165386 kg CO2e
– 165386 kg CO2e / 1000 kg = 165.4 MTCO2e.

• Total emissions were 165.4 MTCO2e.

Propane Reduction Strategies
• Assume 80% of propane usage goes to heat and 20% water
• Turn off pilot light during the summer months – Cost: Free
– Savings: 1% of usage
• Install insulating jackets on hot water heaters and pipes – Cost: $25-$40 per tank; varies per foot
– Savings: 3% of usage
Propane Reduction Strategies
• Lower water heater temperature to 120
– Cost: Free
– Savings: 4% of usage
• Check tanks after every fill up to make sure no leaks.
– Cost: Employee time
– Savings: Reduces waste if there is a leak.
Propane Reduction MTCO2e
• Reduction:
– Total 8%
– 165.4 MTCO2e * .08 = 13.2 MTCO2e
• Total Emissions after reductions:
165.4 MTCO2e -13.2 MTCO2e =152.2 MTCO2e
Raw Natural Gas Data
• Natural gas – (56,290 ccf x 100 cf x 1020 BTU)/10^6= 5741 MMBTU
– 5741 MMBTU x 53.06 kg CO2/MMBTU= 304617.46 kg CO2
– 5741 MMBTU x 0.0005 kg CH4/MMBTU= 2.8705 kg CH4
– 5741 MMBTU x 0.0001 kg N2O/MMBTU= 0.5741 kg N2O
• Emission – 304617.46+(2.8705*25)+(0.5741*298)=304860.304 kg CO2e
– 304860.304 /1000= 304 MT CO2e

Natural Gas Reduction Strategies
• Keeping your thermostat turned down and install a programmable thermostat
– Cost: less than $50
– Savings: up to 10%
• Regularly maintain furnace and change your air filter-wastes energy because it prevents air flow
– Cost: $15
– Savings:3-10%
• Natural Gas furnace that’s more than 15 years old, it may be time to upgrade to a more efficient model
– Cost: $2000
– Savings: up to 20%
Natural Gas Reduction MTCO2e
• Total reduction= 20%
– 304*0.2=60.8
• Total Emission after reduction
– 304-60.8=243.2 MT CO2e

Fertilizer Mitigation
• Fertilizer Efficiency – Fertilizer Type (PFC’s)
– Amount applied
– Timing/rate of application
• Organic/Composting – Better for soil
– Grows healthier plant tissue
– Doesn’t overwhelm plants with just nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium
– Balanced combination of more nutrients
– Larger footprint
– Requires much more application

• 125 kWh/month
• $4,500
• 1.36 % energy savings per month per unit
• 74 units would produce monthly demand
• @ 0.15 $/kWh:
• $225 savings per year per unit
• 20 year payback period
Ways to save on electricity
• If appropriate, use laptop computers. These portable computing machines consume 90 percent less energy than standard desktop computers.
• If the cooling system is more than 15 years old, it is highly recommended to replace it. Shop around and find a model that is energy efficient and is the appropriate size for the amount of space that is needed to be cooled.

Solid Waste Mitigation
• As it stands, total emissions are -3916 MTCO2E
• This means the emissions created from solid waste are negated and an additional 3916 MTCO2E is offset as well
• Improvements to be made: – Add more recycling bins
– Increase the size of existing bins
– Introduce recycling bins to new locations

Total emissions from septic tanks = 17018.4 MT C02e
Wastewater Mitigation
• Considered Waterless Urinals – Determined to be not beneficial
– Filter costs replace water costs
• Water Meters – Already in place and satisfactory water
management
• Because of WW’s limited impact, it was determined to be more rewardable to pursue other emission sources

Education and Outreach
• Educate park staff, including seasonal, on sustainability.
• Education opportunities with visitors, school groups, and partners.
• Are you sharing success stories with visitors?
• Include signage for education.
• Promote the value of your forestry stock.
Summary of Implementation Plan
• Insulate pipes and water tanks.
• Energy audit.
• Turn off systems at night and winter.
• Renewable Energy Offsets
• Use trailers instead of heavy duty trucks.
• Future investments should focus on efficiency.
• Make recycling signage clear for all visitors.
