Site Management Advisory Committee

  • Completely volunteer
  • Invite NIEHS participation
  • Total exterior concerns; not just grounds, but what the facility emits into the air, effluents, what goes in drains; total eco concern
  • Can provide help to facilities staff in writing contract proposals; i.e., for grounds maintenance, waste handling, etc.
  • Promote good stewardship of facility
  • Separate committee from the EAC; work more closely with facilities management staff
  • Include volunteers with differing concerns
    • Not just the tree-huggers and eco preservers
    • Also those wanting walking trails, biking trails, recreational facilities outside
  • Some ideas of things we might do
    • The committee might identify trees, wildflowers on the site; tag as well as put on web site
    • Could do some actual planting in the egg area.
    • Encourage educational opportunities of facilities staff NOW on environmentally-friendly alternatives to pesticides, herbicides, etc.
