2.a	List the activities, products, or services that take place at your facility.
	The facility manufactures liquid pour-on pesticides and insecticides for animals. The facility also blends a powdered antibiotic for fish.
2.b	Provide the size and general description of your site.
	The facility is situated in an industrial park at two locations, 10641 North Dual Street and 2667 West Dual Street in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The facilitties are situated within the same block but seperated by a business owned by others. Both locations encompasses approximately eight acres of land which includes warehouses, and office space.
2.c	Describe any recent changes to facility operations or ownership (if applicable).
	There are no recent changes.
2.d	Describe any activities, products, or services located on your site that are not intended to be included in the facility definition for purposes of Performance Track membership (e.g., business units, leased areas, tenants, or contractors) (if applicable).
	None.

Goal 1

1a	Category Air Emissions
1b	Indicator VOCs
1c	Does your goal include everything covered by the indicator (e.g., all VOCs, all non-hazardous waste), or a specific substance or component (e.g., ethane, cardboard)? All measurements should represent the performance level for the indicator across the entire facility. For many indicators, however, you may choose to focus your goal on a specific subset of the indicator, e.g. a specific material, a specific group of toxic air emissions, a particular waste component, a specific VOC, etc.
	All
1d	What activities or process changes do you plan to undertake at your facility to accomplish your goal e.g., technology changes in a particular process line, employee training?
	For several years, the site operated under state of Louisiana Small Source Emissions Air Permit. It was discontinued in 2006 under a provision of state law. The 2005 Criteria Pollutant Emissions Certification Statement reported a total 1.74 tons of VOC emissions. A 15% reduction would remove 0.26 tons of VOC from the air. It is felt that this could be accomplished by placing activated carbon filters on tank vents. Other measures may be required however, a significant reduction can be obtained by retrofitting tank breather vents with activated carbon filters.
1e	Describe the data collection process and data source(s) that you will use to measure progress towards this goal.
	Uncontrolled VOC emissions will be calculated by using AP-42 values and an Excel spreadsheet. The carbon filter effciency will be obtained as a multiplier to calculate reduction.
2a	Are you proposing this as a Challenge Goal? Yes
2b	Does this goal address a significant aspect in your EMS?
	Yes

		Baseline	Future
3a	Please provide information for these calendar years.	2007	2010
3b	What units are you using to quantify this indicator?	Tons
3c	List the baseline annual quantity of the indicator and the annual quantity you are commited to achieve by the future year. Assume a constant level of activity at your facility when setting your future goal.	1.74	1.47

4	Does the quantity presented in the future quantity column represent an absolute goal or a normalized goal?
	Absolute goal (i.e., demonstrates improvement even if production increases)
5	Whether your goal is absolute or normalized, in your annual performance reports you will need to provide normalizing factors and normalized quantities of your annual data.
	The site's normalizing factor is based on total units of product converted to pounds.
6a	Are you subject to Federal, State, Tribal, or local regulatory requirements for this indicator?
	Yes

6b	If yes, please list those requirements, including the quantitative limits and compliance deadlines that apply to you.
	The site operates under a small source exemption that must maintain emissions below 25 tons per year. There is no compliance deadline.
6c	Your goal must exceed regulatory requirements. If applicable, explain how your goal exceeds the requirements.
	The site currently meets the requirements for a small source exemption from the State Air Emission Regulations.

Goal 2

1a	Category Waste
1b	Indicator Non-hazardous waste generation
1c	Does your goal include everything covered by the indicator (e.g., all VOCs, all non-hazardous waste), or a specific substance or component (e.g., ethane, cardboard)? All measurements should represent the performance level for the indicator across the entire facility. For many indicators, however, you may choose to focus your goal on a specific subset of the indicator, e.g. a specific material, a specific group of toxic air emissions, a particular waste component, a specific VOC, etc.
	Specific
	If your goal is to a specific substance or component, please provide additional detail on your indicator (e.g., specific chemical to be reduced, specific waste component).
	The goal is to increase the tonnage of baled corrugated cardboard going to recycle by 35 percent.
1d	What activities or process changes do you plan to undertake at your facility to accomplish your goal e.g., technology changes in a particular process line, employee training?
	Activities planned to help accomplish this goal are: Institute a new program for training employees in waste segregation and waste management, installation of a new cardboard baler where one is not now available, and improved methods of waste management activities.
1e	Describe the data collection process and data source(s) that you will use to measure progress towards this goal.
	Waste disposal data is collected from a combination of weight sheets from the disposal process, estimates of waste bin contents at the time of pickup, and from the tonnage of cardboard bales produced. The facility will periodically weigh representative loads of cardboard prior to disposal and maintain a log for each pickup. The representative load to be weighed will not contain other recycling material.
2a	Are you proposing this as a Challenge Goal?
	No
2b	Does this goal address a significant aspect in your EMS?
	No

2c	If neither, please explain why you believe this indicator should be included as a performance goal.
	The goal of increasing the amount of baled corrugated cardboard should be included as a performance goal because it represents opportunities to segregate wastes and remove them from incineration and landfill and return them to commerce as raw materials ready for use.

In the table below, please enter your facility's amount of non-hazardous waste, broken down by waste management method. Please enter both the amounts that you manage currently and that you intend to manage in 2010. "Waste" is defined as all materials that are sent off-site that are neither product nor product packaging. Assume a constant level of activity at your facility when setting your future goal.

Is the intent of your non-hazardous waste goal to reduce non-hazardous waste, to improve methods of waste management, or a combination of both?		Improve Waste Management Methods
3a	Please provide information for these calendar years.	Baseline: 2007	Future: 2010
3b	Method of Waste Management	How much of your waste is handled using each management method?
		Baseline	Future	Units
Reused/recycled off-site		56.1	69.1	Tons
Landfill		6.6	3.3	Tons
Incineration		19.4	9.7	Tons


Total Non-Hazardous Solid Waste		82.10	82.10	Tons

4	Does the quantity presented in the future quantity column represent an absolute goal or a normalized goal?
	Normalized goal (i.e. indexed to level of business in baseline year)
5	Whether your goal is absolute or normalized, in your annual performance reports you will need to provide normalizing factors and normalized quantities of your annual data.
	The normalizing factor will be based on the total number of units produced in a year.
6a	Are you subject to Federal, State, Tribal, or local regulatory requirements for this indicator?
	No

Goal 3

1a	Category Waste
1b	Indicator Non-hazardous waste generation
1c	Does your goal include everything covered by the indicator (e.g., all VOCs, all non-hazardous waste), or a specific substance or component (e.g., ethane, cardboard)? All measurements should represent the performance level for the indicator across the entire facility. For many indicators, however, you may choose to focus your goal on a specific subset of the indicator, e.g. a specific material, a specific group of toxic air emissions, a particular waste component, a specific VOC, etc.
	Specific
	If your goal is to a specific substance or component, please provide additional detail on your indicator (e.g., specific chemical to be reduced, specific waste component).
	Mercury
1d	What activities or process changes do you plan to undertake at your facility to accomplish your goal e.g., technology changes in a particular process line, employee training?
	The facility plans to replace its standard fluorescent light bulbs and fixtures to accommodate low-mercury type fluorescent lighting throughout the facility. The facility will complete the project over a three-year period in an effort to significantly reduce mercury disposal. The facility plans to replace nearly 2400 standard fluorescent bulbs over the three-year span.
1e	Describe the data collection process and data source(s) that you will use to measure progress towards this goal.
	The facility has established the total number of standard fluorescent light bulbs in the facility and determined the total amount of mercury based on generally recognized manufacturer standards. Each time a standard fluorescent bulb is taken out of service or replaced it will be replaced with the low-mercury fluorescent bulb. The facility will manitain a running total of its mercury reduction and bulb replacement. According to the generally recognized manufacturer standards, each standard fluorescent bulb contains 12 mg of mercury. The facility will accomplish a 50% reduction in mercury disposal, since each low-mercury bulb contains less than half the mercury in a standard fluorescent light bulb.
2a	Are you proposing this as a Challenge Goal?
	No
