A brief description of the plan of action to achieve water use reduction goals:
The 2009 Portland Community College Climate Action Plan serves as the main guiding document for achieving our water conservation goals. Below is directly from the Consumption and Solid Waste section of the Climate Action Plan (found at:http://www.pcc.edu/about/sustainability/psc/consumption-waste.html):
2030 Objective 6
Develop a water conservation plan for all campuses.
Draft KPIs have been developed:
•Draft KPI 1: Water Conservation
•Draft KPI 2: Water Reuse
•Draft KPI 3: Wastewater Management
•Draft KPI 4: Stormwater Management
Substantial resources, funding, and personnel time is required in order to develop a district-wide, integrated district water conservation & management plan.
Actions to be taken before 2012
•Resource Conservation Manager to assess current water consumption, compile baseline report, set water consumption reduction goals and develop conservation plan. Report to be updated biennially.
◦Initial funding of $5,000 from Sustainability Budget created initial framework for developing a plan (We estimate additional $45k needed)
•Develop conservation plan that explores storm-water capturing.
◦No plan yet developed. Sylvania bond projects to include storm-water infrastructure in parking lots and fallout areas
◦Sylvania Bond Site Committee Sylvania learning garden (Josh L.) received $20,000 grant from Sylvania GIF to install storm-water capture system in Sylvania learning garden.
◦New Bond construction: LEED standards and water efficiencies planning requirement. Min. LEED silver certification.
