  5. What is SEFA? • SEFA is… • a set of Excel workbooks developed by EPA • designed for conducting environmental footprint analyses at clean-up sites • compatible with EPA’s Footprinting Methodology • set up in “blank slate” template format • structured for inputting data, running calculations, and organizing outputs SpreadsheetsforEnvironmentalFootprintAnalysis SEFA and EPA’s Footprinting Methodology are publicly available and posted at: www.cluin.org/greenremediation/methodology/index.cfm

  6. SEFA in the Context of Greener Clean-ups SEFA Before After Run Footprint Analysis Identify Areas for Reduction Apply BMPs Achieve Footprint Reductions original clean-up ––––––––––––––––––––––––––> greener clean-up

  7. SEFA in the Context of EPA’s Footprinting Methodology SEFA and Interpret

  8. Inside SEFA Three Excel Workbooks 1st 2nd 3rd Main Workbook Energy Workbook Calculations Workbook • User enters basic site information • User enters data for materials, waste, and water • Workbook provides summary of results • User sets up analytic structure • User enters data for • on-site and off-site activities • Workbook compiles • the activities • No data entry by user in this workbook • Workbook makes the footprint calculations The workbooks exchange data and process the results

  9. SEFA SpreadsheetsforEnvironmentalFootprintAnalysis • Flexible • any site and any remedy • any level of detail • any set of comparisons • Requires Experience to Run • should be run by experienced staff • steep learning curve • easy to run once you know how the workbooks do not have a “user-friendly” interface

  10. Case Study for the SEFA Workshop Simple Dig&Haul Remedy Remediation at “Back Forty” Site conduct site investigation excavate contaminated soil transport soil to off-site landfill backfill excavated areas conduct groundwater monitoring 1 2 3 4 keeping the case study simple will not show all points of data entry participants can examine the tutorial worksheets at length after the workshop 5
