Step 2: Information Sources: A preliminary list of potential information sources regarding each environmental aspect of Kean University. This does not represent a comprehensive list.

 

Environmental Aspect

Information Sources

How Sources Will Help

Air Emissions Title V Permit

Emissions Statements

Opacity Monitoring Records

CEMS Testing Reports

Rolling Monthly Fuel Logs

  • Monitor and reduce insignificant sources
  • Cut fuel expenditure by researching new technologies
  • Improve existing CEMS to monitor lower levels of contaminants
  • Research reductions in opacity through more efficient fuel consumption
USTs, Waste Oil, and Vehicle Fueling Fuel Consumption Records

Leak Detection System Reports

  • Reduce fuel use through temperature-sensitive heating timers
  • Monitor potential repair or replacement of fuel storage USTs, waste oil containers, or fuel dispenser pumps
  • Develop methods to reduce waste oil generation through alternative-fuel vehicles (e.g. ethanol-fueled vehicles or electric motor vehicles)
Cogeneration Plant Blowdown Water Monitoring Reports
  • Utilize efficient water treatment systems to stabilize pH and metals concentrations
Laboratory Waste Hazardous Waste Logs

Waste Pickup Manifests

Inspection Reports

  • Assist in recognizing inefficient operations
  • Develop methods to reduce lab waste
  • Help set departmental environmental goals
Universal Waste Universal Waste Logs

Waste Pickup Manifests

  • Assure compliance with NJDEP regulations
Wastewater NJPDES Permit

Wastewater Monitoring Reports

Pretreatment Tank Inspection Logs

Pool water discharge logs

Backwash/overflow records

  • Set a minimum goal for pH and contaminant concentrations in wastewater
  • Improve wastewater pretreatment system

 

Step 3: Additional Information: If additional information other than that listed in Step 2 is needed, it should be readily available for a member of the cross-functional team to research and reference that information quickly and efficiently.

Step 4: Processes: Based on the operations and activities conducted at Kean, various issues, such as those determined in the "Environmental Aspects" section of the EMS, may be of importance when considering objectives and targets. These operations and activities carry with them certain potential issues and the issues can best be addressed through the objectives and targets. Below are examples of activities, their associated issues, and possible objectives and targets. This does not represent a complete list.

 

Activity

Issues

Possible Objectives/Targets

Filling of Underground Storage Tanks
  • Potential for overfilling or release
  • Zero tolerance for oil spillage
  • Ensure constant supervision of oil delivery vendors
  • Fuel Dispensation at Pumps
    • Potential for spillage or release
  • Ensure that no spillage occurs at all
  • Research potential for more fuel-efficient vehicles
  • Research alternative fuels
  • Swimming Pool Water Discharge
    • Potential for impact to surface water
  • Minimize pool water chlorination
  • Research pool water recycling technology to save water and eliminate discharge
  • Kitchen Grease Trap Cleanout
    • Accumulated cost for kitchen grease disposal
  • Research Class C recycling centers that can accept kitchen grease
  • Research onsite oil recycling technology to eliminate grease trap cleanout costs
  •  

    Step 5: Regulatory Requirements: As regulatory requirements come under governmental scrutiny and amendments are adopted, Kean personnel are responsible for keeping up-to-date with regulation changes. Tracking these amendments and observing how said amendments can affect Kean’s operations and activities are crucial to developing objectives and goals for both improving these operations and remaining in compliance with federal and state regulations.
