1) EPA to Help Local Governments Prevent Pollution through Environmental Management Systems

EPA is launching a new program to help public agencies adopt environmental management systems. EPA intends to select and provide technical assistance for up to five existing not-for-profit organizations to help them develop environmental management business plans, obtain relevant environmental management materials, and train employees to address the environmental management needs of public agencies. Each organization selected will gain increased visibility, attention, and recognition highlighting the key role they play in meeting the growing needs of public agencies wishing to adopt environmental management systems. Environmental management systems are tools and processes that help organizations make decisions that are both environmentally and economically sound. Letters of Application from interested organizations should be submitted by March 15, 2002 to James Horne, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Wastewater Management, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20460, Mail Code 4201M, (202)564-0571 and Craig Ruberti, Global Environment and Technology Foundation, 7010 Little River Turnpike, Suite 460, Annandale, Virginia, 22003.For more information, visit http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/guide/ on the Internet.
