SECTION C: ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS

C.1 COMMITMENT 1

LifeScan, Inc.'s first commitment is to reduce the facility's total GHG emissions.

C.1.a Briefly describe your activities and achievements related to this commitment or, if relevant, any circumstances that delayed progress this year.

We completed the following energy projects in 2005:
(1) B4 DHM-1, 2, 3 & 4 Reactivation Exhaust Heat Recovery --
Projected annual energy savings = 44,145 therms
(2) B4 SS Blood Lab AHU --
Projected annual gas savings = 24,292 therms
Projected annual electric savings = 152,891 KWHs
(3) B4 Cooling Towers Replacement --
Projected annual electric savings = 390,881 KWHs
(4) B4 Oxidizer OX-3 Waste Heat Recovery --
Projected annual gas savings = 28,855 therms
SUMMARY
Total Proj. Annual Gas Savings = 44145 + 24292 + 28855 = 97292 therms
Total Proj. Annual Electric Savings = 152891 + 390881 = 543772 KWHs
Total CO2 Reduction = (97292 therms x 11.71) + (543772 KWHs x 0.80447) = 1139289 + 437448 = 1,576,737 lbs. per year

Activities Conducted During 2004:
We completed the following energy projects in 2004:
1. Converted Bldg. 4 Air Handler 4 from a 100% outside air system to a return air system.
Completion date: May 2004
Projected annual energy savings: 28,184 KWH
Projected annual gas savings: 7,614 therms
2. Bldg. 4 DHM-1, 3 & 4 Waste Heat Recovery Heat Exchangers:
DHM-1 HX:
Completion date: Oct. 2004

Completion date: Dec. 2004
Projected annual energy savings: 11,651 therms
DHM-4 HX:
Completion date: Dec. 2004
Projected annual energy savings: 7,621 therms
SUMMARY:
Total projected annual electrical savings: 28,184 KWH
Total projected annual gas savings: 48,523 THERMS
Total projected annual CO2 reduction: (28184 x 0.80447) + (48523 x 11.71) = 22673 + 568204 = 590,877 LBS.

C.2 COMMITMENT 2

LifeScan, Inc.'s second commitment is to reduce the facility's total water use.

C.2.a Briefly describe your activities and achievements related to this commitment or, if relevant, any circumstances that delayed progress this year.

LifeScan’s fresh water use went from the baseline year of 2001 (24,550,108 gallons) to 2005 (6,438,784 gallons). This is a 74% reduction. LifeScan reduced consumption through various strategies including the following:
LifeScan began using recycled water for irrigation (three meters transferred in June 2004, one meter transferred in June 2005).
LifeScan also implemented a “C3” irrigation technology that fractionates soil improving plant health. The technology breaks down salts in the soil and results in deeper root growth.
The C3 technology was coupled with the re-configuration of the irrigation system’s coverage to ensure appropriate use in multiple watering zones.
LifeScan installed a new water efficient cooling tower which is estimated to save 500,000 gallons annually.

Activities Conducted During 2004:
We converted three of four water irrigation meters from fresh water to recycled water. (Effective: 17JUN04)

C.3 COMMITMENT 3

LifeScan, Inc.'s third commitment is to reduce the facility's procurement of hazardous/toxic components, specifically PVC, DEHP and latex.

C.3.a Briefly describe your activities and achievements related to this commitment or, if relevant, any circumstances that delayed progress this year.

We have virtually met our goal as only 4,950 cases out of 6,623,130 sold in 2005 contained PVC. No cases contained latex. Our 2003 goal was: "Our goal is to eliminate PVC, DEHP, and latex from our meter cases. The cases are manufactured by a third-party, and are sold to us as a finished good. However, we write the specifications. We are requiring that the supplier makes our cases from alternative materials, and that they complete analytical testing to document the removal of these compounds."

Activities Conducted During 2004:
We made an effort to remove all latex and PVC from our products and packaging. We believe our packaging is completely free of both latex and PVC. We believe our products are completely free of latex. There may be some PVC in USB cables, and 9-pin serial cables provided to us by a third-party. There may be some PVC in the wiring insulation in our meters.

We made the following changes to our soft meter cases to remove latex, and PVC.

ULTRA CASE (REV D): contains latex/contains PVC 1,121,280
ULTRA CASE (REV E): latex removed/PVC removed 2,700,540
Total 3,821,820

UNIVERSAL CASE (REV G): latex removed/PVC removed

C.4 COMMITMENT 4

LifeScan, Inc.'s fourth commitment is to reduce the generation of, and improve the management of, the facility's hazardous waste.

C.4.a Briefly describe your activities and achievements related to this commitment or, if relevant, any circumstances that delayed progress this year.

Waste descreased significantly as production volumes continued to fall. Also, many clean-out activities occurred the year which removed a lot of hazardous materials from the site.

Activities Conducted During 2004:
Waste increased significantly in the "recycled" category. The reason is California began regulating waste electronics as Universal Waste. Also, we had a number of employees that were laid off during 2004 which resulted in large sections of the facility being completely cleaned out of all left behind materials.

C.4.b Please report your facility's actual performance.

SECTION D: PUBLIC OUTREACH AND PERFORMANCE REPORTING

D.1 Please briefly describe the activities that your facility conducted during the year to interact with the community on environmental issues and to report publicly on environmental performance.

Santa Clara Valley Water District's Adopt-A-Creek Program: During 2005, LifeScan conducted three clean-up events (JAN, MAY and SEP) on the approximately two miles of the Lower Penitencia Creek in Milpitas that we've "adopted." The Nature Conservancy (TNC) of CA: We made our annual financial contribution to TNC. FRESH Fair: We held our annual fair with several Community / Public Agencies invited to participate. This is our annual event where we emphasize to our employee population J&J's CREDO commitment of preserving the environment and natural resources. Silicon Valley Manufacturer Group's Environmental Committee: LifeScan is actively engaged as a member of this committee. We regularly attend monthly meetings, comment on regulations, provide examples of our best practices, etc. Sustainable Silicon Valley - LifeScan pledged to reduce our green house gas emissions. We also took a Leadership role in teaching other Silicon Valley businesses our Energy Star Best Practices program. Worldwide Environmental Day (SF, CA - June 2005) - Our company group chairman spoke on J&J's energy goals/program at the event.

D.2 Please indicate which of the following methods your facility plans to use to make its Performance Track Annual Performance Report available to the public. Please check all that apply.

LifeScan, Inc.'s fourth commitment is to reduce the generation of, and improve the management of, the facility's hazardous waste.
C.4.a	Briefly describe your activities and achievements related to this commitment or, if relevant, any circumstances that delayed progress this year.
	Waste descreased significantly as production volumes continued to fall. Also, many clean-out activities occurred the year which removed a lot of hazardous materials from the site.
	Activities Conducted During 2004:	Waste increased significantly in the "recycled" category. The reason is California began regulating waste electronics as Universal Waste. Also, we had a number of employees that were laid off during 2004 which resulted in large sections of the facility being completely cleaned out of all left behind materials.
C.4.b	Please report your facility's actual performance.
