A.9

Have the environmental requirements applicable to your facility changed during this reporting period?

Yes

If yes, please describe these changes here:

We began to discharge process water since our last evaluation. While our water permit classification did not change, since we had been and remain classified as a non-major industrial user, we in fact had discharged nothing but sanitary waste water prior to 2007. Consequently, our reporting requirements have changed. The senew reporting requirement itself will not have an impact on our current hazardous waste goal, and the process water discharged does not meet the definition of RCRA hazardous waste.
The process responsible for the new requirment will have a positive impact on our current hazardous waste goal. We are installing a new aqeuous cleaner which will generate much less hazardous waste than the process currently used. In short, we are trading off discharging some relatively clean wastewater (not hazardous waste) in exchange for significantly reducing the amount of hazardous waste we generate, since the process to be phased out is our largest generator of hazardous waste. As stated in commitment 3, we anticipate making our goal.

SECTION C: ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS

Goal 1: BAE SYSTEMS Controls's first goal is to reduce the facility's total (non-transportation) energy use.
C.1.a	Briefly describe your activities and achievements related to this goal or, if relevant, any circumstances that delayed progress this year.
	Replaced lighting controls for parts of the facility to reduce electricty usage. Started project to replace High-Intensity discharge lighting in storage area to more efficient fluorescent lighting. The reason for the increase in 2007 over the baseline was that it was the first full year that we leased an additional 56,000 square feet of space adjacent to our current operations. This additional space was not accounted for in our normalization factor.
C.1.b	Describe the data collection process and data source(s) that you used to measure progress towards this goal.
	We measure our electricity usage in Kwhs. We are metered separately from the rest of the building we lease, and our total usage is taken directly from these meters. Our natural gas usage is based on what we are assessed by our landlord, which is constant at 22,180 cubic feet per month.
C.1.c	Please report your facility's actual performance.

Goal 2: BAE SYSTEMS Controls's second goal is to reduce the generation of, and improve the management of, the facility's non-hazardous waste.
C.2.a	Briefly describe your activities and achievements related to this goal or, if relevant, any circumstances that delayed progress this year.
	The goal of our non-hazardous waste was a combination of reducing non-hazardous waste and improving methods management. In the term covered by this APR, our focus was on improving waste management, through capturing more items for recycling. We have made significant progress in this area. We did this through renewing our commitment to recycling existing identified streams, and through identifying new waste streams for recycling. We found success in recycling toner cartridges, Tyvek envelopes, technological waste such as compact disks and magnetic floppy disks. Other potentially recyclable waste streams were identified, but no market has yet been located for them. For our existing recycling program, involving waste plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and paper, we re-evaluated our container needs and ended up increasing the number of collection areas and containers. On the waste reduction side, the same cleaning project that will reduce our hazardous waste generation will also reduce our non-hazardous waste generation, since more than 3,000 lbs non-hazrdous waste is generated by this process each year.
C.2.b	Describe the data collection process and data source(s) that you used to measure progress towards this goal.
	We measure the total municipal waste hauled off site, and the amount of recycled waste that would otherwised have been taken to the landfill as municipal waste. From these data, we calculate a percentage of total municipal waste recycled. From 2006 to 2007, the percentage of total potential municipal waste being recycled increased from 15% to 19%.
C.2.c	Please report your facility's actual performance.

Goal 3: BAE SYSTEMS Controls' third goal is to reduce the facility's generation of hazardous waste, specifically waste streams for the primary cleaning process.

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

We installed a new cleaning system which should eventually reduce hazardous waste generation. We are aniticipating a temporary increase in 2008 over 2007, as we continue to adjust a new process while still using our existing process for production. Once the new process is mature, hazardous waste from maintainting the older technology should decrease significantly, and we anticipate meeting our commitment for this term. The waste reduction realized in 2007 over 2006 came from reduced maintenance on the existing cleaning process.

C.3.b Describe the data collection process and data source(s) that you used to measure progress towards this goal.

We keep data on all hazardous waste shipped off site, through manifests and tracking through our vendor's web site. Reports showing the management code of each waste stream is used to generate annual Hazardous Waste Manifest Reports, from which the data for this report are compiled. The normalization factor came from dividing production hours in 2007 by production hours in 2006. The totals shown here is for all hazardous waste across the facility that was either incinerated, landfilled, reused/recycled off-site, or treated by H077, H111, H141 or H061.

Goal 4: BAE SYSTEMS Controls's fourth goal is to reduce the facility's VOC emissions.

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

We installed a new cleaning system which should eventually reduce consumption of VOCs for cleaning. The cleaning process is our single largest consumer and emitter of VOCs. The new process, while still using VOCs, has a significantly shorter cycle time, and is equipped with a system for capturing and reintroducing vented cleaner emissions back into the process.

C.4.b Describe the data collection process and data source(s) that you used to measure progress towards this goal.

We are currently tracking usage for all VOCs consumed in our facility, by process. We are measuring progress of the new cleaning process through counting the number of piece parts run through the newer, more efficient process. Total VOCs for year to year comparisons are calculated using a mass-balance approach, where all of our VOC-containing process materials usages are summed, the percent VOCs calculated, and corrected for the amount that goes out as hazardous waste. The remaining amount is assumed to be emitted into the air.

Progress Towards Other Significant Aspects of your EMS

In the table below, please provide a narrative summary of progress made toward EMS objectives and targets other than those reported as Environmental Performance Goals. You may limit the summary to environmental aspects that are significant and towards which progress has been made during the reporting year.

Do you have additional environmental aspects to report? Yes

Environmental Aspect Progress Made This Year (e.g., quantitative or qualitative improvements, activities conducted)

Air Emissions - Dust Completed first phase of paving dirt parking lot. Second phase to be completed sometime in spring of 2008. Significant dust particulate reduction realized.

Energy Usage Introduced new Enterprise Asset Managment, or EAM, system. This system will improved preventive maintenance on plant equipment, helping to keep it in optimal condition, thereby reducing wasted energy.

SECTION D: PUBLIC OUTREACH AND PERFORMANCE REPORTING

D.1.a Please describe your process to identify potential community environmental concerns.

We examine all of our environmental aspects for their potential to affect our community. We consider the community to be a key stakeholder and how the community may be affected by one of our operation's environmental aspects is one of the inputs considered when determining the significance of an environmental aspect. Our objectives and targets, in turn, are driven by our significant aspects.

Due to security concerns, we do not host an open house for the general public. However, we have a system in place for responding to community inquiries, and use it to address such questions or concerns. For example, when a neighborhood association asked us what was contained in our Liquified nitrogen storage tank, we provided them with the information and an MSDS for the material. There are also publications in our lobby, available to the public, which discuss our company's environmental performance.

D.1.b If you identified community environmental concerns, how did you respond to them?

We have several procedures and controls in place to mitigate the environmental impact on the community in the event of an emergency, such as a flood. In routine operations, we have not identified any environmental concerns, beyond the normal goals of minimizing emissions and hazardous waste generation. We store relatively small amounts of chemical material on site, and do not generate significant volumes of industrial waste water.

D.1.c Please describe how you informed the community about environmental matters related to your facility.

We have an internet presence, stating our Environmental policy, and materials in our lobby available to the public upon request, such as newsletters.

We also respond to specific questions, for example, requests for information from people conducting studies of environmental managment systems.

If a significant change related to our facility were to take place, our communications department would determine the appropriate means of informing the community about the impact on the community.

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.
