EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The University of Central Missouri has a proud history of demonstrating good stewardship of the environment and taxpayer and student resources. Efforts to control environmental hazards, such as asbestos, date back to 1980. In the ensuing 28 years, Central enacted numerous programs and changes to comply with external expectations regarding the environment, and to improve operations to reduce costs and pollution. In the1992 Emissions Inventory, UCM reported producing over 15 tons of “Oxides of Nitrogen” from combustion processes on campus, primarily for heating and air conditioning. Fifteen years later, Central has reduced production of that greenhouse gas to less than five tons. This reduction reflects the investments in improvements which also reduced utility costs.

The University of Central Missouri has implemented numerous programs to comply with varying regulations. Accomplishments have included Audubon Society recognition, elimination of PCBs from the campus, and many more. The programs require coordination between divisions and departments on campus, and, through cooperation, the accomplishments are numerous. The revision of the “Environmental Management Program” into the “Environmental Management System” will allow Central to take environmental stewardship to the next level, where the system creates continuous improvement with measurable goals beyond “compliance.” The new goals will help Central further reduce its environmental impact and reduce utility expenditures while creating new service-learning opportunities for UCM’s students.

University President Aaron Podelefsky has charted a path to a new level of environmental stewardship through his support of the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment, initiating a process of review and reduction of Central’s environmental footprint. This proposal supports the creation of an institutional structure to accomplish this commitment, and provides additional support to sustainability initiatives which are part of the Climate Commitment. In addition, existing environmental programs are reviewed and operational procedures updated for activities managing hazardous wastes, storm water, petroleum storage, emergency spill response, and information and training activities.

III. IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

A. SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION 1. Combustion processes for heating, cooling. Generate products of combustion

including sulphur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and particulate matter.

2. Combustion processes for laboratory operations, such as pottery kilns, precious metals casting, sculpture casting. Generate products of combustion including sulphur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and particulate matter. May also produce some metal fumes.

3. Spray finishing facilities generate Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and can be a source of visible emissions of particulates.

4. Motor vehicle fleet operation and maintenance on cars, trucks, and aircraft. Combustion processes from vehicle operation produce exhaust gases. Maintenance operations produce hazardous waste, sewer prohibited waste, potential chlorofluorcarbon releases, hazardous air pollutants (asbestos), and special wastes such as used tires and used motor oil.

5. Petroleum storage tanks release VOC from head (vapor) space.

B. SOURCES OF WATER POLLUTION 1. Teaching laboratories in science, technology, and the arts produce limited

quantities but a wide variety of toxic, infectious, corrosive, and combustible materials as spent products.

2. Support services on the campus such as Printing Services, Instructional Development, and others generate combustible, corrosive, or photographic wastes.

3. Maintenance of facilities and grounds generate solvents, mineral spirits, paint thinners, paint, varnishes, strippers, acids, bases, water treatment chemicals, sealers, cleaning chemicals, pesticides and fluorescent lamps.

4. Construction activities and some operations present storm water pollution prevention challenges.

5. Petroleum storage tanks represent the potential for release by containment failure or by improper operating procedures.

6. Commercial kitchens produce grease laden vapors and release grease into sanitary sewer lines.

7

IV. EXISTING PROGRAMS A. MANAGEMENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE 1. WASTE MINIMIZATION (a) Purpose: To reduce the amount and/or toxicity of hazardous wastes produced and shipped off campus for disposal as hazardous waste. (b) Waste minimization is the single most significant factor in lessening both short and long term liability, lowering disposal costs, and keeping negative environmental impact to a minimum in any hazardous materials management program. (c) FEDERAL MANDATE: Waste minimization is monitored through three specific activities that were mandated by the 1984 Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) amendments.

A waste minimization program shall be implemented by each campus department.

An annual report outlining the steps each department will take to minimize the amount of waste generated, shall be submitted to the Hazardous Materials Coordinator on or before February 1st of each calendar year.

This program shall include but is not limited to the following:

• inventory control • chemical tracking • written policy restricting donations of chemicals • preplanning of experiments from purchase of chemicals to clean up of wastes • microscale experiments • in lab treatment of waste • use of computer simulations • substitution of less hazardous chemicals • organize labs as to prevent formation of unknowns • reduce number of waste steams (points of generation) • include waste minimization as part of classroom training • segregate wastes • install silver recovery system • install solvent recovery system • install neutralization system

2. REGULATIONS (a) FEDERAL: Hazardous waste in the United States is regulated at the federal level by the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). (b) The federal regulations for hazardous waste may be found in Title 40 of the Code of

Federal Regulations, parts 260-270 (40 CFR 260-270).

8

(c) Hazardous waste generators are regulated according to the amount of waste they generate per month. EPA identifies three categories of hazardous waste generators:

Large Quantity Generator- generators of 1000 Kgs/month or more of hazardous waste, or more than 1Kg/month of acute hazardous waste are considered to be fully regulated generators and must comply with all applicable rules and regulations.

Small Quantity- generators of greater than 100 Kgs/month but less than 1000 Kgs/month of hazardous waste, or less than or equal to 1Kg/month of acute hazardous waste are considered small quantity generators and must comply with the appropriate rules and regulations for such classification.

Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity- generators of less than 100 Kgs/month of hazardous waste, and less than or equal to 1 Kg/month of acute hazardous waste are considered to be a conditionally exempt small quantity generator and must comply with the rules and regulations for such classification.

(d) In Missouri, hazardous waste is regulated by the Missouri Department of Natural

Resources (MDNR). The state regulations for hazardous waste may be found in Title 10 of the Missouri Code of State Regulations, Division 25, Chapters 1-13 (10 CSR 25:1-13). MDNR identifies two categories of hazardous waste generators:

Regulated- When a person accumulates 100 Kg of non-acute hazardous waste, or 1Kg

of acutely hazardous waste, or 1 gm of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), or the aggregate of 100 kg of acute and nonacute hazardous waste, which ever first occurs, that person is subject to the provisions in 10 CSR 25. This is in addition to the calendar month provisions of the EPA.

Non-Regulated- Person accumulating less than the amounts identified above would not be subject to the provisions of 10 CSR 25, but may fall under the EPA provisions.

(e) UCM is considered a regulated Large Quantity Generator on main campus and a Small Quantity Generator at the Max B. Swisher Skyhaven Airport.

• Main Campus: EPA ID #: MOD981729205 and MDNR ID #: 007761 • Swisher-Skyhaven: EPA ID #: MOD985821057 and MDNR ID #: 007759

(f) Management of the UCM’s Hazardous Waste Program will be through the university's Environmental, Health, and Safety Services Division in the Department of Public Safety. (g) The collection and transportation of all unwanted, excess, or used chemicals from campus to the Hazardous Materials Management Facility (HMMF) will be performed by EH&S personnel.

(h) All waste determinations, and evaluation of disposal options will be performed by EH&S personnel. 3. UCM’s HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATION

(a) UCM has designed, built and manages a Hazardous Material Management Facility (HMMF), located behind the Physical Plant at 108 West South Street, Warrensburg Missouri. The HMMF is a wood frame, metal sided 1200 hundred square foot structure. The building has two personnel exits and a small garage door. The building was constructed with five containment areas. These containment areas are designed to contain any spills from a leaking or broken storage container of Hazardous Material or Waste. The building has an intrinsically safe electrical system for heat and light. The building is open inside, however all of the compartments have a half wall of cinder block that separates the compartments. The building has a domestic water supply and emergency shower with eyewash.

(b) All Hazardous Waste and Surplus Hazardous Materials that are brought to the HMMF

are characterized by type according to Subpart C Characteristics of Hazardous Waste 40CFR 261.2; [Ignitability (261.21), Corrosivity (261.22), Reactivity (261.23 and Toxicity (261.24). Four of the five compartments are designated for each corresponding characteristics. The fifth compartment is used as a staging and waste determination area for incoming Hazardous Materials or Waste.

(c) The waste determination process is performed at the HMMF. All Hazardous Waste,

Hazardous Materials, Special Waste and Sewer Prohibited Waste is transferred on campus by submitting the Surplus Chemical Pickup Request Form to Public Safety’s Environmental Health and Safety Services (EH&S). EH&S staff pickup, transport,

12

process, store and insure proper destruction at no cost to the generating department at UCM.

(d) The HMMF will be maintained and operated to minimize the possibility of a fire,

explosion, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of Hazardous Materials or Waste. Segregation by hazard class in separate compartments with aisle space to allow the unobstructed movement of personnel, fire protection equipment, spill control equipment, and decontamination equipment to any area of facility operation in an emergency will insure containment of any accidental release, reducing or eliminating the potential for release into the Air, Soil or Surface Water.

(vii) UCM’s Dump Truck, Loader and stock pile of sand. (viii) Physical Plant’s Inventory of clay absorbents.

(m) Repair or replace defective container. (n) Sweep up absorbent and properly label. (o) Decon and Doff PPE. (p) Report to state and federal agencies if required.

9. DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES

(a) Purpose: protect emergency response personnel by minimizing the transfer of harmful materials into clean areas; the release of contaminants to the environment; and protect personnel from hazardous substances that may contaminate and eventually permeate the protective clothing, respiratory equipment, tools, vehicles, and other equipment used at UCM.

19

(b) Development of the overall decontamination strategy revolves around the proper identification and evaluation of the contaminants present. This knowledge is necessary for the selection of decontamination methods that will effectively reduce the contamination to acceptable levels and provide adequate protection to UCM personnel and those involved in the decontamination (Decon) efforts. Always consult Leak Procedures on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). The following steps need to be provided or considered during the Decon Process:

(i) Before decontamination procedures begin, a determination will be made of the

nature and the extent of the contamination. (ii) The magnitude of the spill will determine if Mutual Aid or outside contractor would

be required. (iii) Evaluate the hazards, i.e., gather information on the physical and chemical

properties of contaminants, the fire and explosion hazards, the toxicity and the health hazards, and chemical reactivity (REFER TO THE MSDS). The health and safety aspects associated with the use of various cleanup techniques or processes and exposure limits of particular contaminates will be included as part of the overall hazards evaluation.

(iv) Target levels of decontamination must be established for clean up and decon. (v) Identify potential methods of decontamination. (vi) Address options for cleanup, discussing manpower, timing, equipment, cost, etc. (vii) Determine worker health and safety requirements from the hazards evaluation

data developed during the inspection to assure proper levels of worker safety during the decontamination.

(viii) A written decontamination plan will be prepared by the Incident Commander (IC) or Hazardous Materials Coordinator before cleanup is initiated.

(ix) This plan will specify the decontamination method, the Quality Control procedures to be followed, the equipment and support facilities needed, the method of residue disposal, worker health and safety precautions, personal protective measures and scheduling.

(x) Initiate and conduct cleanup and decon in accordance with the plan. (xi) Equipment used in removal operation(s) will be routinely decontaminated before

leaving the site of contamination to minimize the spread of contamination. (xii) All decontamination debris, and materials used in the cleanup, will be classified,

“hazardous” or “non hazardous” and handled in accordance with hazardous waste laws.

(xiii) After the initiation of cleanup, contaminant levels shall be monitored throughout the course of the operation.

C. WATER POLLUTION CONTROL

1. SANITARY SEWER DISCHARGE MANAGEMENT

(a) The city of Warrensburg operates a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) as defined by Section 212 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. Sec. 291). The university’s sanitary sewer is connected to the city sewer system and regularly discharges sanitary sewage and industrial waste to the POTW. Industrial waste water is generated from operations on campus and includes all non-hazardous processes that meet the minimal discharge requirements set by Warrensburg

20

Sewer Regulations.

(b) Warrensburg POTW regulates all devices or systems used in the collection, storage, treatment recycling and reclamation of sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature and any conveyances that convey waste water to the treatment plant. The POTW has restrictions on what can be discharged into the sanitary sewer.

(c) The following is an overview of the regulations and restrictions.

(i) Storm waste and unpolluted water: No person shall discharge or cause

to be discharged any storm waste, surface water, ground water, roof water, subsurface drainage, including interior and exterior foundation drains, uncontaminated cooling water, or unpolluted industrial process water to any sanitary sewer.

(ii) Liquids that can cause a fire or explosion in route to or at the POTW are

prohibited.

(iii) Liquids that have a pH of less than 5.0 or greater that 9, or otherwise causing corrosive structural damage to the POTW’s collections system or equipment are prohibited.

(iv) Solid or viscous substances in amounts which will cause obstruction of

the flow in the POTW resulting in interference are prohibited, and no solids are allowed greater that one-half inch in any diameter.

(v) Any water or waste released into the POTW with a Biological Oxygen

Demand (BOD) greater than (300) parts per million (PPM) is prohibited. If the BOD exceeds 300 PPM, pretreatment must be utilized to reduce the BOD.

(vi) Any liquid or vapor discharged to the POTW resulting in a temperature

which will inhibit biological activity in the treatment plant is prohibited. In no case can water that exceeds 104 degree Fahrenheit be discharged into the POTW.

(vii) Any petroleum oil, biological cutting oil, or products of mineral oil are

prohibited from discharge into the POTW..

(viii) All wastewater which imparts color which cannot be removed by the treatment process, such as but not limited to dye waste, vegetable tanning solutions or other substances that will cause the POTW to violate its NPDES permit are prohibited.

(ix) No medical waste shall be discharged into the POTW.

(x) No radio active materials may be discharged into the POTW.

(xi) Detergents, surface-acting agents, or other substances that may cause

the POTW to violate its NEPDES permit or causes a failure of state or

21

federal wastewater quality toxicity tests are prohibited from discharge to the POTW.

(xii) Any water or waste containing fats, waxes, greases or oils of animal or

vegetable origin, whether emulsified or not, in excess of one hundred (100) milligrams per liter (mg/l) or containing substances which may solidify or become viscous at temperatures between thirty-two (32) degrees and one-hundred-fifty (150) degrees Fahrenheit, or zero (0) degrees and sixty-five (65) degrees Centigrade, is prohibited.

(d) Immediate notification is required if any of the above prohibited materials are

accidently discharged into the POTW. During the day they can be reached at (660) 747-6923. After hours contact Johnson County Central Dispatch at (660) 747-2265 and they will contact the POTW duty personnel.

(e) The City of Warrensburg is the regulating body for all discharges into the POTW.

The city utilizes a Control Authority to regulate and manage the discharge into the POTW. When the Control Authority determines that a user is in violation of the sewer regulations, it will advise the user of the impact of the discharge, develop effluent limitations for the waste stream, and/or make recommendations for pretreatment to meet the sewer regulations. If pretreatment is required, the Control Activity permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment shall also be subject to the review and approval of the Control Authority, and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws.

2. STORM WATER MANAGMENT (a) Storm water permits are required for specific operations that represent a

significant risk of contributing contaminants to surface waters. The two basic types of storm water permits currently impacting UCM are land disturbance permits, and operating permits.

(b) Land disturbance permits are required whenever one (1) or more acres of soil will

be disturbed at the root zone for any purpose. Permits are issued by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR), and must be issued and in the possession of personnel on the site prior to the start of any activity which will cause such a disturbance. The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) required for the permit identifies the individuals responsible for compliance with the Best Management Practices (BMPs) listed in the SWP3.

(c) A Storm Water Operating Permit is currently required for the Swisher Skyhaven

Airport. No other UCM operations currently require a Storm Water Operating Permit. The Airport Manager is responsible for ensuring compliance with the permit requirements.

(d) Environmental, Health, & Safety Services (EH&S) will assist in preparation and

review of required documents prior to submission to the MoDNR for any Storm Water Permits. EH&S will audit compliance with permit requirements.

22

3. PETROLEUM STORAGE TANK MANAGEMENT

(a) UCM has numerous petroleum storage tanks on the campus and outlying properties, both underground and aboveground. In addition, numerous tanks have been permanently closed in accordance with closure guidelines from regulatory agencies. Closure reports for regulated underground storage tanks (USTs) are maintained in the EH&S offices at the Department of Public Safety. There are three types of petroleum tanks still present at UCM: Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs), Underground Storage Tanks (USTs), and heating oil tanks for consumptive use on premises.

(b) ASTs are located at the Swisher Skyhaven Airport for aviation gasoline and jet

fuel storage. These tanks were selected for this installation due to their leak containment features, and are the subject of a specific Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) plan. EH&S provides oversight to the SPCC plan implementation, and provides the initial response capability to any release from these storage tanks. EH&S also ensures required periodic review and certification of the SPCC plan.

(c) USTs are located behind the General Services Building (GSB). USTs are tanks

other than heating oil tanks for consumptive use on premises. These tanks provide vehicle fueling capability at the GSB. These tanks were installed to comply with major changes in regulations covering USTs in the 1990s. They are double-walled fiberglass tanks with electronic leak detection and monitoring. These tanks are operated and maintained by Facilities Planning and Operations.

(d) Heating oil tanks for consumptive use on premises are located at a number of

campus facilities, including the Multipurpose Building, the Gaines Technology Building, and numerous residence halls. These tanks are the historical reminder of the university’s former reliance on heating oil to continue operations when UCM access to the natural gas supply was curtailed. UCM has eliminated the curtailment problem, and no longer burns fuel oil in any boilers on campus. Although unregulated, these tanks represent a potential source of petroleum contamination to soil and groundwater. Several of these tanks have been closed out, and closure documents are maintained by EH&S. Additional tanks will be closed as funding allows.

D. AIR POLLUTION CONTROL

1. OPERATING PERMIT (a) The University of Central Missouri has a Part 70 Operating Permit under Title V

of the Clean Air Act. The operating permit establishes requirements for specific emission units, such as large institutional boilers and spray finishing facilities, and general requirements for numerous air pollution issues campuswide. Safety Manager Larry Province is designated as the “Responsible Official” in the Operating Permit, and is required to ensure campuswide compliance with provisions in the permit. He must also submit the Semi-Annual and Annual Compliance Certifications, and the Annual Emissions Inventory Questionnaire

23

data to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. (b) The Operating Permit must be renewed every five years, with the renewal

application submitted not less than six (6) months before the expiration date. The next renewal date is in September, 2012.

(c) Any change in process equipment, such as institutional boilers for heating, must

be coordinated with the Responsible Official to ensure required changes to the Operating Permit are submitted to MoDNR. Additionally, any changes which would increase the university’s “potential to emit” such as new construction with installation of new institutional boilers, must be coordinated with the Responsible Official to submit modification to the Operating Permit. Some changes will require application for a “Construction Permit” that must be granted by MoDNR prior to any construction activity.

2. ASBESTOS (a) The air pollution Operating Permit requires use of licensed asbestos personnel to perform all inspections for asbestos, and all abatement actions to control asbestos containing building materials. Safety Manager Larry Province is the asbestos program manager. UCM no longer operates an in-house abatement team. However, all records for the abatement actions undertaken by the abatement team are maintained in EH&S and shall remain until the required 30 years past employment of the last member of the licensed team leaves employment at UCM.

(b) The asbestos program manager coordinates inspections and abatement activities with outside contractors. Records of inspection reports, air monitoring reports, abatement actions, and inventories of asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) are maintained in EH&S.

(c) Federal regulations and the Operating Permit prohibit demolition or renovation of structures without prior determination of the presence of ACBM which may be disturbed during renovation or demolition.

3. REFRIGERANT GASES (a) Servicing of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment for facilities or vehicles is regulated by the EPA, to comply with commitments made by the

The United States under the Montreal Protocol.

(b) Only licensed technicians may service equipment utilizing chlorofluorocarbons. Records of the technician licensing, and all service records are available for inspection during normal working hours at the Facilities Planning and Operations Department, General Services Building. This program is supervised by the supervisor of the HVAC Department.

24

E. RECYCLING

1. REGULATED MATERIALS

(a) The management of hazardous waste addresses recycling for some of the waste streams that are managed by Environmental Health and Safety in Public Safety.

(b)Fuel blending of flammable liquids is done at the airport and main campus. The liquids recycled are primarily petroleum hydrocarbons that are generated as part of the day to day operations of the university. The actual materials are motor oil, kerosene used for parts cleaners, off spec and contaminated fuels, heating oil from underground storage tanks as they are removed and contaminated hydraulic oil from elevators and other maintenance operations. In 2007, 4050 gallons of #2 fuel oil was recycled from one UST that was removed, and 1070 gallons of fuel blended was shipped. The university was paid twenty cents per gallon for the fuel blended flammables.

(c) Lead acid batteries both gel-cells and liquid acid batteries are collected under

Universal Waste rules and recycled.

(d) Spent brass cartridges and fired lead/copper from the trap in the Pistol Range are both collected and recycled. The university is paid for both materials. Again, both of these materials have the potential to be classified as a hazardous waste because of lead, barium and arsenic.

(e) Portable rechargeable batteries in cellular and cordless phone, cordless power tools, laptop computer, PDA’s, two-way radios, camcorder and remote control toys are all recycled on campus. INMECO RBRC call2recycle offers the service by providing a UPS package box with plastic bags to place all batteries in. When the box is full of batteries, simply seal the box and UPS will pick it up and ship it to recycler. This is a front end recycling program. When the rechargeable battery is purchased, the recycling cost is added to the final price of the items. This up front money allows RBRC to provide the service at no cost to the university. This program is open to anyone that generates portable rechargeable batteries.

(f) Thermostats that contain mercury are recycled through The Thermostat Recycling Corp. They provide a hard plastic container, plastic bags, ties, instructions and shipping labels in order to collect the used thermostats for recycling.

(g) Ethylene Glycol antifreeze is collected in 30 and 55 gallon drums at collection points. When the barrels are full, an antifreeze contractor will come on campus and pump out the antifreeze for recycling. The company currently uses a reverse osmoses machine to separate the water, ethylene glycol, water and impurities. Once the components are separated, the company remixes the water and ethylene glycol to a 50/50 mixture and then markets the product. Currently the ethylene glycol is picked up at no cost to the university.

(h) As part of the hazardous waste program, 5, 15, 30 and 55 gallon drums are collected and reused on campus. These drums were delivered with new

25

chemical products to be used on campus. When the product is used up, they are made available to EH&S for reuse. These drums are Department of Transportation (DOT) rated for hazardous materials and can be reused or recycled by collecting, rinsing as required, and placing appropriate labels on the drum.

2. WASTE REDUCTION (a) UCM participated in “Recyclemania” for the first time this past school year. The recycling program will continue to develop under the leadership of the institutional structure established to implement the Environmental Management System.

V. PROGRAMS UNDER DEVELOPMENT

A. PRESIDENT’S CLIMATE COMMITMENT 1. The University of Central Missouri is a Charter Signatory of the American College &

University Presidents’ Climate Commitment, with UCM President Aaron Podelefsky as the signatory.

2. Signing the Commitment demonstrates President Podelefsky’s belief that

eliminating UCM’s greenhouse gas emissions over time is beneficial to the environment and to Central. The Climate Commitment requires UCM to: • Complete an emissions inventory; and • Within two years, set a target date and interim milestones for becoming climate

neutral; and • Take immediate steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and • Integrate sustainability into the curriculum and making it part of the educational

experience; and • Make the action plan, inventory, and progress reports publicly available.

B. SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES The University of Central Missouri has initiated campus sustainability initiatives by committing to achieving LEED Silver Certification for the renovation/construction of the Morrow-Garrison/Student Recreation Building project, currently in the design phase.

VI. DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES
