F&B Unit: OPP Work Control CenterUnit-Specific Goal Title: “Sustainability Club Time”Goal Ranking: 2Priority Area: EngagementGoal Statement: Work Control Center will setup a program that allows members within our work group and at the work unit’s expense to volunteer and participate with the Sustainability Institute in outreach and communication activates where additional temporary staffing would be valuable to their efforts. For example, manning a booth during a conference to interact with attendees and expound upon the University’s accomplishments and good deeds. This volunteer program would allow each member of our unit up to eight (8) hours per fiscal year to engage and participate in an activity that is beneficial to both the employee and one of the programs sponsored by the Sustainability Institute. Our goal is to demonstrate to other areas how WCC is working to develop and maintain sustainability initiatives that can function efficiently and effectively in daily operations. The benefit for the WCC is the opportunity to showcase the strategies we are practicing and to enlighten others by networking at events with the Sustainability Institute. The Sustainability Institute gets a group of volunteers ready to help with any event or opportunity. Success in fiscal year 2012/13 will be measured by the acceptance and establishment of the Sustainability Club Time program and a 10% participation rate as measured as a percentage by totaling the number of club time hours executed divide by the quantity of full time work control employees X 8 Hours.

establish a baseline of the weight that we currently recycle per semester. Beginning in January 2013, we will mount a communication blitz to the Penn State community. Our partners in this project will be the Green Teams who we will engage through the Sustainability list serv. We will be asking them to publicize our program and generate enthusiasm. We will also engage the commonwealth campuses through Penn State Live and through our EHS campus representatives. We will continue to measure the quantity of batteries recycled through the end of the fiscal year to determine if our efforts for the spring semester were effective. Success will be defined as seeing an increase in weight of batteries recycled. F&B Unit: OPP Buildings & GroundsUnit-Specific Goal Title: “Solid Waste Management - Recovery Process Pilot”Goal Ranking: 1 Priority Area: Zero Waste Goal Statement: The current University Park refuse stream (solid waste that is landfill bound) has the potential of diverting 88% of this refuse into recyclable waste streams. The goal is to identify various recovery options to capture this diversion potential, reduce landfill costs, and help move the University to zero waste. OPP is partnering with Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority (CCRRA) to explore diversion options that mutually benefit each organization. A pilot program will launch in January 2013. The pilot will run for a full calendar year so that diversion streams can be identified and prioritized by those that are most lucrative. A preliminary report will be generated at the close of FY 12/13 to quantify results up unto that point. The final results learned from the pilot will be applied to increasing landfill diversion across all of University Park. F&B Unit: OPP Environmental Health and SafetyUnit-Specific Goal Title: “Office Waste Recycling Enhancement”Goal Ranking: 2Priority Area: Zero WasteGoal Statement: By the end of October 2012, we will ask Al Matyasovsky to come to our offices to do a pre-audit of our trash to establish how well we are currently recycling. Once this is complete, we will stop using our personal waste cans and will move toward centralized waste collection in an effort to increase recycling. This is in effect implementing our own No Can Do. At the end of the fiscal year, we will ask Al to perform a post-audit inspection. This will help us see if having centralized trash cans is effective at increasing recycling. We hope to have composting in our buildings in the future to continue the effort in waste reduction.

F&B Unit: OPP Design and ConstructionUnit-Specific Goal Title: “Renovation Services Waste Reduction”Goal Ranking: 2Priority Area: Zero WasteGoal Statement: Implement a requirement for Renovation Services to recycle and/or salvage 75% of construction, demolition, and land clearing waste. A waste management plan will be developed to detail how they will achieve the required recycling rate, including types of materials to be recycled or salvaged, materials handling requirements, and how you they will communicate the plan to crews and subcontractors. The plan will include the method of documenting the total waste material, quantities diverted and the means by which diverted.The goal would be to implement this waste management plan for Renovation Services by June 30th, 2013. F&B Unit: OPP Buildings & GroundsUnit-Specific Goal Title: “Solid Waste Management - No-Can-Do (NCD)”Goal Ranking: 2Priority Area: Zero WasteGoal Statement: No-Can-Do (NCD) is a process where trash cans in offices are removed and individuals manage their refuse and recycling streams by taking waste to designated full service recycling stations. Separating and collecting biodegradable refuse (i.e. composting materials) is a part of this process. Results of current pilots are being analyzed, necessary adjustments will be made and an additional 15 buildings will be rolled out by the end of FY 12/13. Metrics are expected to show reduced refuse bound for the landfill, reduced refuse disposal costs, and increased faculty, staff, and student engagement in sustainable refuse management practices. F&B Unit: OPP Work Control CenterUnit-Specific Goal Title: “PM Filter Management”Goal Ranking: 3Priority Area: Zero WasteGoal Statement: Currently, OPP’s Second Shift PM crew changes all filters across campus on an established time interval. Regardless if the filter is either a pleated or panel unit, the entire piece is removed from service and discarded into the trash waste stream. By June 30, 2013, the PM Group will make a recommendation on the best filter management solution that balances cost of execution and benefit to sustainability: 1.

Measure: amt. paper purchased, copies made F&B Unit: University Police and Public SafetyUnit-Specific Goal Title: “Resource Reduction 2 of 2”Goal Ranking: 3Priority Area: Resource ReductionGoal Statement: During the end of 2011, Penn State University’s Core Council conducted an audit of University Police & Public Safety’s budget and assets and made recommendations to decrease the budget. The recommendation included the return of three patrol vehicles. University Police examined their patrol needs and determined they could not effectively police the community without the use of these vehicles. University Police then conducted an internal audit and found another way to reduce cost. University Police currently leases sedan and SUV patrol vehicles from Transportation Services. The monthly rate is between $800-$900 and this covers up to 1,000 miles. Punitive fees are added on for each mile over 1,000 so as a result of significant overage, University Police monthly vehicle expenses was exceedingly high.

University Police has now implemented the 1,300 mile program and has been able to retain all three patrol vehicles while structuring patrol use differently but maintaining the ability to effectively patrol. This structured patrol includes the increase use of police bicycles, more foot patrol, and less driving. Each week, a patrol sergeant obtains mileage from each patrol vehicle. At the end of the week, officers and supervisors are informed of the current mileage and informed which vehicles are available to use and restrictions to prevent overage. Before the end of month, vehicles are strategically utilized so none exceed 1,300 miles.
