Ifleet Press Kit Final Fact Sheet Pull-A-Part Corporate Snapshot Pull-A-Part, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, is an award-winning family business serving the do-it-yourself, used auto parts market. By developing a unique operating system based on customer service and environmental responsibility, Pull-A-Part has transformed what was once thought of as the junkyard into a sustainable recycling business. Founded in 1997, Pull-A-Part operates a network of 28 DIY used auto parts superstores in 12 states. The company has been acclaimed for outstanding corporate citizenship by federal, state and local organizations. fast stats • Pull-A-Part has made an exceptional commitment to resource conservation, waste reduction and pollution prevention. Continual site performance evaluations focus strongly on the cleanliness and efficiency of Pull-A-Part retail locations. This orientation allows Pull-A-Part to provide affordable, used auto parts to do-it-yourself consumers, while providing high quality scrap metal, fluids and plastics for recycling. Recycling diverts these materials from the waste stream and helps protect the air, water and soil from pollution. • Automobiles are the leading recycled product in the United States, with an estimated 13.5 million motor vehicles reaching the end of their useful life annually. • Each vehicle recycled by Pull-A-Part saves approximately four tons of CO2 (greenhouse gas) equivalent, according to the U.S. EPA. • Each vehicle recycled by Pull-A-Part conserves nearly 11 million BTUs of energy – enough energy to light a 60-watt light bulb for nearly 6 years. • Based on the company’s average recycling of automobiles each month at its current locations, Pull-A-Part prevents 19.35 million pounds of waste from entering our nation’s landfills every year. That is enough waste to fill a line of tractor-trailers more than 6.45 miles in length. Pull-A-Part achieves this through its unique de-pollution process, documented to reduce automobile shredder residue by 21 percent as compared to typical vehicle shredding practices. • Every year, each Pull-A-Part location collects approximately 50,000 gallons of oil, gasoline, brake fluid, transmission fluid and antifreeze, as well as thousands of spent lead-acid batteries to be recycled. • To date, Pull-A-Part has recovered 255,178 mercury switches out of end-of-life vehicles for proper recycling at all of its locations – preventing the mercury contamination of more than 33 billion gallons of water, or enough water to fill a 1,033-acre lake, 100-feet deep.

  • Chapter 4 Risk Assessment
    Chapter 4 Risk Assessment Requirement §201.6(c)(2): [The plan shall include] A risk assessment that provides the factual basis for activities proposed in the strategy to reduce losses from identified hazards. Local risk assessments must provide sufficient information to enable the jurisdiction to identify and prioritize appropriate mitigation actions to reduce losses from identified hazards. As defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), risk is a combination of hazard, vulnerability, and exposure. “It is the impact that a hazard would have on people, services, facilities, and structures in a community and refers to the likelihood of a hazard event resulting in an adverse condition that causes injury or damage.” The risk assessment process identifies and profiles relevant hazards and assesses the exposure of lives, property, and infrastructure to these hazards. The process allows for a better understanding of a community’s potential risk to natural hazards and provides a framework for developing and prioritizing mitigation actions to reduce risk from future hazard events. This risk assessment followed the methodology described in the FEMA publication Understanding Your Risks—Identifying Hazards and Estimating Losses (FEMA 386-2, 2002), which breaks the assessment down to a four-step process: 1. Identify Hazards; 2. Profile Hazard Events; 3. Inventory Assets; and 4. Estimate Losses. Data collected through this process has been incorporated into the following sections of this chapter: ➢ Section 4.1: Hazard Identification identifies the hazards that threaten the planning area and describes why some hazards have been omitted from further consideration. ➢ Section 4.2: Hazard Profiles discusses the threat and impacts to the planning area and describes previous occurrences of hazard events and the likelihood of future occurrences.
