Performance Track Membership Renewal Application 2004 BAE Systems Controls A050044

		Baseline	Future
4a	Please provide information for these calendar years.	2003	2006
4b	What units are you using to quantify this indicator?	dBA
4c	List the baseline annual quantity of the indicator and the annual quantity you are commited to achieve by the future year. Future commitments should not reflect projected changes in production.	80	70

5	Does the quantity presented in the future quantity column represent an actual goal or a normalized goal?	Actual goal
6	Whether your goal is actual or normalized, in your annual performance reports you will need to provide normalizing factors and normalized quantities of your annual data. (This provides information on changes in eco-efficiency at your facility). Your environmental performance for this commitment should be normalized based on the facility’s productive output or, where necessary, on a substitute for production. Please briefly describe your intended basis for normalizing, e.g., gallons of chemical product produced; dollars of sales adjusted for inflation and weighted based on percentage of waste stream produced; number of households served.	Normalizing is not necessary for this indicator.
7a	Are you subject to Federal, State, Tribal, or local regulatory requirements for this indicator?	Yes
7b	If yes, please list those requirements, including the quantitative limits and compliance deadlines that apply to you. Explain how your commitment exceeds requirements.	Because we have a few operations where the noise exposure is above 50% of the 8-hr Permissible Exposure Limit (as defined by OSHA) we are required to have a hearing conservation program in place. (29 CFR 1910.95) Our committment exceeds the requirement of the standard since the standard does not require that noise be reduced to 80 dB.

Commitment 2

1a	What category have you selected from the Environmental Performance Table?	Water Use
1b	What indicator have you selected from the Environmental Performance Table?	Total Water Use
1c	Does your commitment 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 commitment 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 commitment (e.g., technology changes in a particular process line, employee training)?	Evaluation of all water-consuming processes, working with on-site contractors. Updates to restroom facilities as when feasible.
2	Are you proposing this as a regional challenge commitment? (Regions 1, 2 and 6 only)	No
3a	Is this indicator considered significant in your EMS?	Yes
3b	If no, please explain why you believe this indicator should be included as a performance commitment.

		Baseline	Future

4b	What units are you using to quantify this indicator?	Gallons
4c	List the baseline annual quantity of the indicator and the annual quantity you are commited to achieve by the future year. Future commitments should not reflect projected changes in production.	20,033,587	18,500,000

5	Does the quantity presented in the future quantity column represent an actual goal or a normalized goal?	Normalized goal (i.e. indexed to level of business in baseline year)
6	Whether your goal is actual or normalized, in your annual performance reports you will need to provide normalizing factors and normalized quantities of your annual data. (This provides information on changes in eco-efficiency at your facility). Your environmental performance for this commitment should be normalized based on the facility’s productive output or, where necessary, on a substitute for production. Please briefly describe your intended basis for normalizing, e.g., gallons of chemical product produced; dollars of sales adjusted for inflation and weighted based on percentage of waste stream produced; number of households served.	number of controls and cables shipped
7a	Are you subject to Federal, State, Tribal, or local regulatory requirements for this indicator?	No
7b	If yes, please list those requirements, including the quantitative limits and compliance deadlines that apply to you. Explain how your commitment exceeds requirements.

Commitment 3

1a	What category have you selected from the Environmental Performance Table?	Waste
1b	What indicator have you selected from the Environmental Performance Table?	Hazardous Waste Generation
1c	Does your commitment 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 commitment 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
	If your commitment is to a specific substance or component, please provide additional detail on your indicator (e.g., specific chemical to be reduced, specific waste component).
1d	What activities or process changes do you plan to undertake at your facility to accomplish your commitment (e.g., technology changes in a particular process line, employee training)?	A revision to our chemical management system. We are currently investigating point-of-use and other process material management alternatives.
2	Are you proposing this as a regional challenge commitment? (Regions 1, 2 and 6 only)	No
3a	Is this indicator considered significant in your EMS?	Yes
3b	If no, please explain why you believe this indicator should be included as a performance commitment.

In the table below, please enter your facility's amount of hazardous waste, broken down by waste management method. Please enter both the amounts that you manage currently and that you intend to manage in 2006. Include all hazardous waste that is treated on-site or sent off-site.

Is the goal of your hazardous waste commitment to reduce hazardous waste, to improve methods of waste management, or a combination of both?		Reduce Hazardous Waste
4a	Please provide information for these calendar years.	Baseline: 2003	Future: 2006
4b	Method of Waste Management	How much of your hazardous waste is handled using each management method?

Other off-site management Specify other: Codes H077, H111, opr H141: Chemical Stabilization, other chemical precipitation.		1,523	1,371	Pounds
Treated on-site		12,237	11,013	Pounds
Total Hazardous Solid Waste		20.03	18.03	Tons

5	Does the quantity presented in the future quantity column represent an actual goal or a normalized goal?	Normalized goal (i.e. indexed to level of business in baseline year)
6	Whether your goal is actual or normalized, in your annual performance reports you will need to provide normalizing factors and normalized quantities of your annual data. (This provides information on changes in eco-efficiency at your facility). Your environmental performance for this commitment should be normalized based on the facility’s productive output or, where necessary, on a substitute for production.

The specific substance whose use we are committing to reducing is a 63/37 Tin/Lead solder paste used in surface-mount soldering process.
1d	What activities or process changes do you plan to undertake at your facility to accomplish your commitment (e.g., technology changes in a particular process line, employee training)?
