A brief description of the plan of action to achieve water use reduction goals:
From our District Policy:
NUMBER: 210
TITLE: ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
The Seattle Community College District is committed to conducting business in an environmentally responsible fashion. It shall be the policy of the Seattle
Community College District to:
1. Reduce the present and future risks of hazardous materials.
2. Comply with federal, state, and local laws pertaining to hazardous materials.
3. Promote the purchase and use of products manufactured using recycled materials.
4. Establish procedures to reduce waste in ongoing processes and to develop waste reduction procedures.
5. Establish recycling systems for non-hazardous materials.
6. Promote conservation of electricity and water.
7. Encourage conservation of fuels through the promotion of bus, van and carpool use, bicycles, and other alternative modes of transportation.
8. Increase the awareness of environmental issues and practices.
9. Develop, to the fullest extent possible, capital master plans and projects consistent with the provisions of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The
“responsible official,” for the purposes of the policy, shall be the chancellor, respective campus president/vice-chancellor, or designee. It shall be the
responsibility of the “responsible official” to facilitate the preparation of a “Declaration of Significance/Non-Significance” and/or a “Threshold Determination”,
as appropriate.
Specifically in regards to water conservation, "Seattle Central has taken several steps to act on that statement. Replacement of standard plumbing fixtures with low flow faucets, toilets, and urinals. We also recently installed glycol in our heating and cooling loops so that we no longer drain those systems in the winter time (sending water down the drain) and requiring those loops to be refilled again in the spring time. That saves approximately 10K gallons each cycle." - Chuck Davis, Director Facilities and Operations
