The training plan has been posted on the website under the EMS program section at the bottom of the page. Document posting on the website will improve with addition of subject folders.

The training presentation will be released later this summer, and we will have until Mar 06 to complete it in all organizations (completion dates have been updated in the training plan from Dec 05 to Mar 06). Current Plan Status Review (New Business):

- The team finalized the Office Paper Recycling Goal/Target presented at last month’s meeting. Increase amount of office paper recycled by 5% normalized to flying hours by the end of CY 06. It was discussed that the team will be updated at least quarterly on the status of meeting the goal. Also, the goal will be presented at the next EQCC for final approval. - Al T. presented Big Picture Recycling. See attached presentation. As requested at the last meeting, he presented the overall percentages of items that can be recycled on Fort Rucker in pie chart format for easy visibility. - Genie J. presented a hazardous waste management update. See attached presentation. She discussed the results of the last ADEM Hazardous Waste Inspection. She added to Al’s presentation on recycling opportunities and compared 2004 numbers to 1994/1999. She recommended that in updating the Pollution Prevention Plan that we set 1999 as the baseline (do not have all data from 1994). Genie J. also updated that team on the Absorbent recycling Pilot program at Cairns. This program will greatly reduce this large waste stream. More information to follow. - The scheduling tool update (showing status of all necessary tasks req’d in the EMS implementation plan) was discussed and will be emailed to team members. - The team was reminded to complete the Office Paper Recycling Questionnaire and turn in to Paige S. - Also, during group discussion, a team member suggested a program for recycling shipping materials (peanuts, bubble wrap, etc.). This will be investigated further.

New action items:  Submit Office Paper Recycling Questionnaire to Paige S.  Present Office Paper Recycling Goal to the EQCC.
