    1. ORDER 450.1 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROGRAM WORKSHOP OZONE-DEPLETING SUBSTANCE PHASEOUT ISSUES TED KOSS 202-586-7964 theodore.koss@eh.doe.gov

    2. Environmental Interactions Identify site activities, products and services related to ozone-depleting substances (ODS) and how they interact with the environment. Activities, Products, and Services Maintaining, servicing, or disposing of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment Using Halon in fire suppression systems Using ozone-depleting solvents in cleaning operations Environmental Aspects of the ODS issue Air Quality

    3. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Identify impacts (and their significance) caused by the release of ODS to the ambient air. Potential impacts might include: Depletion of stratospheric ozone Potential health hazards to public Noncompliance with regulatory requirements Costs Concerns of local residents

    4. APPLICABLE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS The EPA rules governing the phaseout of ODS are found at 40 CFR Part 82, “Protection of Stratospheric Ozone.” Are the applicable Part 82 regulations and EO 13148 requirements on the master list of applicable requirements at your DOE site? Are all affected organizations at your DOE site aware of stratospheric ozone protection requirements?

    5. OTHER REQUIREMENTS EO 13148 Class I ODS phaseout requirements

    6. ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS EO 13148 has established the objective to end Federal procurement of Class I ODS by 12/31/10. DOE has also established two Class I ODS phaseout objectives in its 1999 Pollution Prevention and Energy Efficiency Leadership Goals (available at http://epic.er.doe.gov/epic/bulletin/p2memo.pdf): Retrofit or replace aging Class I ODS chillers by 2005 Eliminate remaining Class I ODS usage by 2010 “to the extent economically practicable.”

    7. ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS (contd) Has your DOE site established targets to accomplish a long-term, cost-effective Class I ODS use phaseout? For example, a target of eliminating 50% of CY 2000 Halon 1301 inventory in fixed fire suppression systems by 12/31/06

    8. Checking and Corrective Action Monitor and review implementation of Class I ODS phaseout plans and make changes as needed. For example, if the budget is curtailed, or if regulatory requirements tighten, there should be a procedure in place to revise phaseout plans. If a target is not met, procedures should be available to take corrective actions to remedy

    9. EH ODS GUIDANCE Most recent EH guidance to implement EO 13148 ODS requirements: “A Plan and Guidance to Implement EO 13148 Requirements to Achieve Ozone-Depleting Substance Reductions,” February 2002 (available at http://www.eh.doe.gov/oepa/guidance/ozone/odseoguide.pdf). Office of Environmental Policy and Guidance (EH-41) ODS Web Site (http://www.eh.doe.gov/oepa/ods/) has further information and guidance.

    10. EH ODS GUIDANCE (contd.) Questions on ODS issues should be addressed to following EH-41 staff: Ted Koss (202-586-7964; theodore.koss@eh.doe.gov) or Emile Boulos (202-586-1306; emile.boulos@eh.doe.gov).
