Webcast archive at this time I would like to introduce Peter Lois Peter low it has been the director of the Devens Enterprise Commission which handles the reuse of the former Fort Devens Massachusetts since 1999 prior to his current position he was a director of planning and economic development for

The town of Londonderry New Hampshire he has held many roles in the leadership of the American Planning Association he is a past president of the APA Massachusetts chapter and past chair of the APA economic development division he holds a master’s degree in urban Environmental Policy from Tufts University and a bachelor’s in history

From Brown University good afternoon and thank you for joining us today so our agenda today I’m going to look at the role of the American Planning Association in eco industrial development talk a little bit about the concept of eco industrial development delve into why we as economic development planners should be

Interested in the topic talk about the definition of linkages and give us a case study to sink our teeth into so what’s the definition the definition of eco industrial development is an integrated system of shared resources can be materials they can be knowledge they can be social connections and it’s

Shared among industries businesses in the local community and the goal is economic gain enhanced environmental quality and a metal social equity position for our businesses and the community APA has specific policies in place which address eco industrial development those can be found in the 2008 policy guide on climate change and

They talked about efficient use of resources and they also talked about having new energy generating facilities be set up to anchor eco industrial parks through the cascading of resources an example might be a power plant that has excess steam which is used to heat an aquaculture facility that raises both

Hydroponic vegetables and aquaculture as well the economic development and environmental natural resource divisions help publish an eco industrial development guide which can be found on both of these divisions websites this is a members-only asset if you’re a member of either of those two divisions you can download

This content and it’s sort of a how-to guide to create eco industrial parks in the US and a number of case studies that you can see on the screen so I usually like to start these talks by looking at the roads or a plant and talking about

How is a plant like the Rose like a plant like a manufacturing facility and get you all thinking about inputs and outputs the role of scavengers and decomposers in the system and then jumping from looking at the microcosm of the plant we look at the system how is a

Park like an industrial park and bearing in mind these concepts let’s let’s sort of look at the goals for eco industrial development and as planners I think we can all sort of get behind the promoting vibrant diverse communities aspect working within natures limits we can think about carrying capacity promoting

Collaboration and networking and as economic developers we’re thinking about how all of this can add value to locations where we work and for the communities in which we work for an eco industrial park that could look like networked businesses that promote business partnerships could look like improved environmental performance for

The for those businesses located within the park and above average return on assets a lot of that comes about through minimizing waste and using our resources more efficiently so again promoting vibrant and diverse communities that’s pretty straightforward here and again maximizing fairness and efficiently if efficiency and the distribution of

Resources its resource efficiency which is what we’re getting at with all of these goals and why is that important well consumer preference surveys will show us that consumers favor environmental protection over economic development in most instances and market research says that green products that are comparably priced are preferred by

Consumers over their competition and the fact we’re engaged in worldwide competition here in North America so this is really totally ripped from the headlines so to speak I took this out of a airplane British Airways when I was flying back from Europe and it really speaks to me

Collaborate or die is that what we’re really faced with well there are lots of benefits of collaboration and I think it’s the ability to sort of grow your resource base without adding people that attracts a lot of folks you can get additional perspectives on ideas and you develop common information in a common

Database plus you’re developing a trusting relationship some of the characteristics of collaboration include open sharing of information local involvement identification of shared needs and a commitment to act among the partners so what I often joke about is that with an eco industrial park what we’re really trying to do is mandate

Cooperation we’re trying to set up instances where businesses can’t interact with each other and a lot of these are informal interfaces so it could be around a childcare center it could be integrating a cafeteria into a eco industrial park could be a shared conference room could be a community

Room such as at the eco industrial park in Londonderry where a es granite ridge which is a power plant has a community room which they share with the businesses and the community in the area also recreational sporting leads can be ways to create this opportunity for interaction so what we find from looking

At the data is is that when you have a diversity of businesses within a park you have a greater chance of having by-product exchanges and shared resources so why should we be interested in this and I think the bottom line comes down to value-added and it’s thinking about turning one firms waste

Stream into a revenue stream some of the earlier academic studies estimated that there could be a twenty to thirty percent efficiency gain from locating in an eco industrial park over a traditional part haven’t been a lot of studies since those initial ones so I’m not sure exactly how accurate that is

But I know that there is a market advantage from my own experience so you can look at things like cooperative purchasing cooperative marketing cooperative incubator services a lot of things that we as economic development planners are already doing and taking a look at recycling all of these make a

Difference and they add value often not found in traditional parts so there are a lot of areas where we can collaborate within a park some of those could be communications systems so there would be a network that could be shared both in the park and outside of the park material exchanges

Transportation one firms truck goes out and delivers to a client in another state and it comes back empty another firm in the park has a client along the transportation route picking it up bringing it back efficiency resources saved money saved environmental health and safety here at Devens we have an

Environmental health and safety networking group they do share training together large company bristol-myers shares its systems and mentors smaller companies all of these are things that can be put into play in a network within a park or in a community so marketing I’m going to go into that in a second

Shared production processes we actually have a shared employee between two transportation companies that needed both the who needed part-time drivers they were able to collaborate so shared marketing this is sort of a really cool product preserved toothbrushes which are made from number five plastic and the number

Five plastic is found in stony field yogurt cups so Stonyfield takes their cuffs they have a product take-back system you can send them their their cups back those cups are then melted down and made into the handles for the preserve toothbrush preserve toothbrush has a little folder you can go online

And they’ll mail it to you and then you can mail your toothbrush back when you’re done with it they take the bristles off they melt it down and they make it into plastic lumber isn’t that what a great concept well those companies preserve Stonyfield added a couple of partners tom’s of

Maine and brittle wall water filters and they’re all cooperating together under this marketing brand called give me five they’re asking you to send them your number 5 plastics and it’s pretty neat now Stonyfield was in the Londonderry you going Dutch Hill Park that I started and I recruited really and brittle left

Some time later but they’ve maintained this networking relationship so how can we as economic developers sort of explore the opportunities I’ve included this sort of tool that you can use to brainstorm around linkages so you have a product and a company these are some of

The areas I’ll let you look at it your leisure when you download this to examine opportunities for collaborating among companies and finding lengths of connections ok give you an example of a connection here from depths so Gillette has an 800,000 square foot we’re housing facility that’s located on

The building on the left on the right is sonna koto which does just-in-time packaging for Gillette and there’s actually a connector building in between so some of the areas where they collaborate they have shared security for the two buildings they have Sadiq building is heated by the process heat

From their packaging equipment and some of the extra heat is shared with Gillette’s building Gillette in turn helps fund some of our local nonprofits including a woman shelter at a food pantry now unfortunately for us here at Evans Gillette was bought by Procter and Gamble and they ended up closing the

Facility so currently the Gillette side of the building is occupied by it which is about eight hundred thousand square feet is occupied by quiet logistics and the Sonico side of the building is currently vacant so brainstorming around tourism and trying to identify linkages this is an example of what we’ve come up

With looking at transportation issues figuring out where arts and crafts might fit in this is just to get your juices flowing and let you think a little bit about how to use this tool so marketing sustainability and eco-industrial benefits this is pretty much what I use at Devon’s here we talk about benefits

To the community benefits to the environment and economic benefits to the firms that are involved in the program a lot of this comes from the guidebook for eco industrial park managers that you could download from the division website so by-product exchanges eco industrial development where did all of this start

Often we go back to column more Denmark which is an isolated industrial community on the same island that Copenhagen is on except it’s on the far western part of the island and they have a coal-fired power plant they take the gypsum which is leftover from the production process and

That goes to a wall board company gyproc some of the heat from the power plant goes into a fish farm the fly ash from the power plant goes into a cement manufacturer there the extra heat produced is turned into steam and becomes district heating for the neighboring municipality there is no

Vern is which makes a number of biogas plants and soil amelioration and there’s no Vezina which makes insulin they actually have their own farmers employed on their staff and they take the sort of sludge from their production process and put that on farms in all over Denmark

But again for liability issues they have their own farmers and all this was really done to avoid the use of surface water from Lake Tasso and it’s proven to be very effective and this has been going on since the mid 60s when a group of students sort of uncovered the fact

That these exchanges were going on and the companies have been able to augment them over time this is the same process with a few pictures again Nobel nortz which is the insulin supply supplier the city of Callum board the gypsum manufacturer and state’ll refinery which is an oil refinery located adjacent to

The power plant all of these come into play and you know it’s leads me to my next slide which is my own sort of what I call flow chart nd that we use here at Devon’s trying to map out some of the exchanges between companies who are located within

Our park one of the things that makes it easy for us to easier for us to assess the opportunity these is when companies come into our park we ask them to and sit down with them and walk through sort of this flow diagram where they’ll input their materials on one side their non

Product outputs on another the products they produce their water and energy requirements and number of employees and feel free to use this for your own purposes but it’s been very effective for us so in the US we’ve probably got about 30 different projects going on today these are self-identified off of

The web and it’s going on in 23 different states at this point and it ranges from their number of them that are sort of power plant based such as in Londonderry and the Red Hills eco puts in which is a project set up by TVA in Mississippi there’s some that focus on

Sort of clean environment and that’s the Phillips eco Enterprise Center in Minneapolis in Burlington there’s a admired power plant that only uses sustainable certified wood chips and then it has a community gardens helping Burlington Vermont meet its goal of having fresh vegetables and fresh locally grown food year-round

So there’s a bunch of greenhouses associate that devan’s is sort of a holistic attempt to redevelop a military base along the model of sustainable development the Cabazon Resource Park is basically it’s it’s a resource recovery operation run by an Indian tribe in California are a number of success

Factors when you’re dealing with eco industrial development among those are the need for a project champion you need someone who will implement as well as dream you need to work with the existing industries as well as the ones you’re trying to recruit in and work with institutions as well as as industries

You can target your recruitment to look at everything from reducing transportation between similar industries that trade with each other to looking at turning one firms waste stream into another firm source of raw materials which is the sort of magic of eco industrial development oftentimes you need a strong industry local

Government relationship need to look at the economic return for stakeholders having a community as a partner has been a factor in a number of parks taking small steps to start out works and doing some aggressive marketing which I think we as economic development planners are fairly good at this comes from my

Colleague Cory brinkema from Trillium partners so now we’re going to take a look at a case study delve into Devin’s Devens is a former military base in north central Massachusetts and we like to sell the added value of locating here when Devens was closed the concept of redeveloping it as an example of

Sustainable development became the organizing team for the redevelopment of the park in 1993 there was the Charette when the base closure was announced and i’m always fascinated by the fact that 1993 they were talking about zero waste industrial parks and a no way system similar to a biological community way

Ahead of its time and this is what we’re trying to implement this vision that came from a community here at Devon’s so like any good planning project sustainability starts by knowing what your local resources are and in this case we were able to start out by mapping the environmental

Characteristics of the base and I don’t think it’s important to know what all the lines are here it’s just to illustrate the fact that they were all taken into account and we’re part of the discussion so you’ll notice in the bubble diagram on the right-hand side of

Your screen that the rail trade area is on top of a a resource area this case the resources mostly and aquifer so one of the things that this type of analysis enabled was a rational discussion between stakeholders around the idea that rail serviced Lots in the Northeast let alone New England Aurra scarce

Commodity and there was a trade-off that was accommodated where the rail industrial of trade district had to have a much higher degree of water supply protection measures put in place and in return for that development in this area was accommodated so again knowing the resources enabled the discussion to take

Place and trade-offs to be thoroughly discussed and vetted and decision-makers able to make their decision so Devon’s is four thousand four hundred acres above that four thousand four hundred acres only eighteen hundred is scheduled to be developed the balance is kept as open space some of that’s active

And some of it is passive the active component is about five hundred acres of fields some of what you see covered in snow in the bottom picture a 70 acre swimming area Mirror Lake which you can see in the top right but it also involves the the restoration of environmental and compromised areas

Picture on the left is daylighting a former culvert turning it back into an active stream and the area in the bottom right is an area that was remediated because of environmental contamination at Devon is close to 33% of our open space and of all of the lands here 33

Percent of the entire 4,400 acres will be permanently protected through it either conservation restrictions or gifts to conservation agencies such as US Fish and Wildlife so we have open space how do you treat it green as a green infrastructure asset and manage it I love this example of composting our

Fifty acre Rogers field which was the former Pope was parade-ground 1996 when the state of Massachusetts took title to the property they were spending about $75,000 a year fertilizer three million gallons of water being used and that had to be seeded three or four times a year after

Night after 2005 when we stopped measuring we were spending shy of eight thousand dollars for fertilizer under six hundred thousand gallons of water a year and we were doing 40 acres of topdressing with compost and core aeration the only problems we encountered as we had them low the darn

Stuff more often because it grew so abundantly part of our open space includes a sustainable certified golf course and sort of the design intent of the golf course is really captured in the picture and a lot of left of the golf cart cart way crossing a stream the

Original site plan showed a straight bridge but they would have had to take out a couple of trees so they curved it the whole intent here is to reduce the amount of fertilizer and insecticide and herbicide that’s being put on to the course of course remains ranked as one

Of the top five courses in New England it is gorgeous and a real challenge to play really the most sustainable thing you can do is to reuse existing buildings and we have a fast-track permitting system here at Devens which says if you’re reusing an existing building you get permits within 21 days

And it’s an administrative hearing if you are doing a regular development we have a 75 day permitting window and that also is that value added attraction for development here we have a housing component which requires 20 five percent of the units to be affordable we also have a model green

Housing program which has created eight single family units which are zero energy housing which means they produce as much energy as they consume and those are designed to be priced for people who can afford between eighty and a hundred and twenty percent of the median income so in Massachusetts that’s somewhere

Between two hundred and three hundred and fifty thousand dollars for a single-family house in the Boston area which isn’t all that bad for this neck of the woods again the third leg of the sustainable development puzzle in social equity and here we have some folks from the Job Corps working creating a teen

Center for area youth you have a number of institutions which are in play we have an adult daycare center we have a childcare center with slots reserved for working mothers in the area we have a preschool and we have a museum we have a woman shelter and we also have a food

Pantry all of which are saara are not NGO or institutional piece of the community we have over a hundred fifty thousand visitors a year to our recreation facilities we have 5.4 million square feet of development that we’ve been able to attract including a hotel and conference center

This is from 2006 and the numbers have gone up and down because of the recession since then we’re probably as I said up to about five point four four million square feet of commercial development although there’s about a million square feet which is vacant at the moment you have about 3,500 jobs and

The payroll numbers have yet to be updated from 2006 but you can see it’s actually a fairly impressive track record and one of the things that we’re very proud of is we were able to attract bristol-myers Squibb to locate their bio for pharmaceutical manufacturing facility here and invest 1.1 million

Dollars to do that so we’ve made some progress on a regulatory side we do a number of things in our regulations to enhance the state ability and eco industrial development here among those are we have low impact development stormwater techniques which as you can see from this slide not only promote a

More sustainable approach to development but they truly are cost effective in fact in this one redevelopment of former military intelligence defense training building the developer estimated they saved over one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars by using the low-impact development approach for managing their stormwater our future happening we’re

Going to use lead for Neighborhood Development we are putting in place some regulations around mitigating the climate impacts of our industries and we are some transit ready we have commuter rail in proximity I’ll get into that a minute well what really makes us stand out and where we sort of linked eco

Industrial development back thoroughly into the Devens case study mister a program we developed called eco star its mission is to promote sustainable development by integrating economic social and environmental needs it’s voluntary not prescriptive and the business is sort of pick out the goals that work for them and flow with them we

Host workshops we support tools that enable more efficient use of resources and reduce costs basically what we do is we help businesses to green their operations through a series of workshops and networking meetings we developed the Ecostar action guide which has 25 and criteria and if a company gets ten of

The core criteria including the linkage to another company which is sort of the Eco industrial component and find voluntary criteria they become an eco industrial achiever and can use the logo that you see at the bottom here the achiever logo we have a couple of achievers at this point what are areas

Of focus range from helping a company craft and environmental vision and policy statement to helping them do specific climate change mitigation for their firm we looked at business linkages we have educational opportunities for we help them look at how they can involve their employees suppliers customers in their goal of

Being a greener organization and we have programs in place to help them improve their energy efficiency reduce their water use and the like we have a series of roundtable forms that we’ve set up I mentioned the environmental health and safety group before they do a lot of

Mentoring we set up a meeting and provide the the breakfast food and location they at this point have set up their own agenda a meet ten times a year we have what we call a compliance University which is in place to help the smaller companies review the regulations

That pertain to them regarding water pollution air emissions waste and toxic chemicals what regulations are there that pertain to each of these issues and we go through what the federal regulations are what the state regulations are what the local regulations are in a non-threatening educational format they can ask

Questions and there’s a state agency that will come in and provide this assistance in a non-threatening manner we have a green building group which shares their experiences on various green building projects including our zero net energy housing and we have a group that looks at transportation efficiencies so I mentioned earlier

Looking at having the logistics managers of different firms sit down together on an occasional basis to look at opportunities to collaborate in order to decrease costs below this is my friend Gary Hirschberg the CEO of stony field yogurt he was expanding Stonyfield down into the mid-atlantic states when he

Noticed a poultry truck driving up for Maryland going to Hudson sure which is a town away from Londonderry where Stonyfield is located he called their CEO and they worked out a collaborative transportation mechanism where they poultry company and the yogurt company will take yogurt down and bring poultry back it’s worked out so

Far the Avenue haven’t had any complaints about poultry flavored yogurt as yet transportation initiatives Devens has a number of bike lanes that we’ve been developing looking at ride-sharing but where we’ve been most successful is working on the reverse commute along our commuter rail line we’ve received 150 million in small starts funding

Additional funding from the Recovery Act and our goal is to reduce the commute time from Fitchburg to Boston from an hour and a half to one hour or well on our way to achieving that we hope to open the new system in the winter of 2013 recycling services again we sort of

Look at things within a park we actually go out to bid for recycling and waste hauling for all of the businesses of the park and if the waste management’s and bfi’s of the world want to keep their customers they ended up dropping their rates to be competitive with the bid

That we received smaller companies can use this drop-off which averages now about three tons of material a month being recycled so but to the public as well one of our more recent successes has been launching a Regional Health told hazardous waste facility it’s open to eight communities everyone has reduced costs while adding

Service protecting the environment which is a pretty rare thing in this economic backdrop the other aspect is this service is open to very small quantity generators of hazardous waste who are businesses who could drop their material here for a fee and by-product exchange just didn’t

Sound sexy enough for us so we gave it a new name we called it the great exchange and we have an event that we hold every couple of years or so where we invite businesses who have materials to sit down in a room with their counterparts at this particular case we had 20

Businesses over 30 people in the room at the end of our two-hour session we had over 32 exchanges between the 20 businesses and again these are opportunities for doing joint purchasing networking and the like for example Cannes food you see here has become a huge user of this service they share

Their plastic bags with prisons municipalities dPW’s across the state some of their pails are used by art NGOs and the like one of the neater exchanges came does is they make mayonnaise and relish and salad dressing and as long as their waste container contains at least

۵۰% oil a company from woe will come down with a vacuum truck vacuum it up and they make it into soap pretty cool waste turns into art Donna the director of RT Ecostar program calls the first one day Wednesday of every month treasure day and they have a

Milk run with this arts group from Boston which comes out and picks up only supplies from our various companies within the area and they in turn become art supplies for teachers and cash-strapped programs across the Commonwealth packaging is another area where we have saved and repurposed quite

A number of products you can see some of the results listed here again these aren’t all huge byproducts changes are small but they add value for the companies that are participating in and they add value to locate it in your community if you can deploy these types of resources and programs for your

Industries the 30-yard container that I showed in an earlier picture by our DPW six months if saved about $64,000 for the companies involved we call us the gift that keeps on living because the exchanges create exchanges and they continue to grow we just have a hard time documenting them with our small

Staff we have other programs that we deploy with business and is on the left you see a lean and green manufacturing workshop that we worked on with EPA and the associated industries of Massachusetts we have an Earth Day celebration we do community betterment projects with our businesses giving back

To the community and we do field trips to educate folks about opportunities for recycling for green building and the like some of the goals that we’ve been able to accomplish our develop marry developing mentoring relationships and partnerships through these roundtables our conference center has been selected by environmental groups because of its

Relationship and participation and he Ecostar and again they’re doing sort of the grow local local farms to local tables at the conference center a gift where manufacturer was able to achieve a zero waste goal and was able to get new business from participating in the program an aerospace systems

Manufacturer went through our energy conservation program and saved over eighty six thousand dollars and again bristol-myers Squibb was happy to locate a Devens because their corporate mission is sustainable development and it meshed very well with the Devens mission there were a lot of other things thrown at bristol-myers Squibb but we felt that

That was part of what attracted them to come to Devin’s so if you want to learn more about what we’re doing here you could look at our website our Ecostar website and I put out a regular newsletter of eco-industrial development and industrial symbiosis which is another name or eco industrial

Development there are about 23 two states with eco industrial projects in the United States there are about 30 different projects that I’m aware of today I’m planning on holding a conference for eco parts in the u.s. in 2012 if you want to get onto our newsletter feel free to email me and

What I’m going to do now is turn this to Jennifer and hope that the we’ve been experiencing before the brunette Jennifer want to take this back Jennifer buddy there buddy there hi yeah I’m here are you no I’m not sure if everybody if Peter is

Able to hear we were having a little bit of audio issues earlier today so what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna try to ask the questions and I’ll announce them over to the audience and then I’ll kind of send them to Peter and Peter actually people

Were asking to see the last slide that you just had up so if you would go back to that that would be great great yeah sorry everyone for the technical difficulties it’ll just be a second and then we’ll get the question answer started okay so our first question is going to

Be how old are the surveys that show public that showed that the public is more interested in environment than economic development pre-recession so I’m sending that to Peter right now and he should be able to answer that for everyone you you you you you

All right let’s see if I can get this up for you folks sorry about this here’s the contact information hopefully this will work for you okay the question about these surveys the surveys were done pre-recession they were done by Stonyfield farms yogurt and I was able to have them

Share them with me so they’re about maybe eight years old at this point other questions hi everyone I’m trying to load up some questions up on my screen so you should be seeing that and then Peter will be able to see it what we’re having right now is I’m Peter

Right before the presentation started he was getting audio and then all of a sudden he stopped getting the audio and we couldn’t resolve it quickly enough and we were working during the webinar to resolve it so I’m just going to show a list of the questions and Peter can go

Ahead and answer them so our next question is I’m how have you encountered a lot of legal / bureaucratic red tape that is delaying is always issue of legal red tape but it’s oftentimes it’s getting the people in a room and establishing a level of trust which is

Why we try and emphasize heavy facilities where folks interact with each other within a park or within a business setting people from different companies establishing that level of trust which is necessary to a collaborative effort the eco-industrial project in Texas there’s some stuff going on in Austin

Right now but there’s also a cement company which uses some byproducts in its manufacturing process elements in the zero energy housing the zero energy housing included very strict energy conservation elements and one by sixteen wall pieces and then the ability to put photovoltaic on top to just push them

Over thee on the edge into B zero energy but it was really a very tight envelope Ecostar is run through by the by the city of denim’s but we set it up as a not-for-profit so it was created by municipality and now it’s set up as a non-profit there are other vacant

Military bases around the country that have looked at doing similar types of redevelopment based on sustainability there’s actually a national model which is the Presidio and we think that they’ve done a fabulous job they don’t incorporate eco industrial development but it’s pretty exciting reluctant elected officials may need

Cuddling and education it’s difficult to take on education – and I think it the point I’m trying to make is that if you can show economic advantage you can overcome a lot of their concerns okay the federal and state funds went toward remediating the Superfund site

The feds left us we have put in about 250 thousand dollars over five years as a so the preserve toothbrush firm pays for the return postage for their products to be reused which is a pretty interesting concept again its product take back its what is the law in Germany all of the

Car plants actually have to disassemble their cars when they’re done and reuse the components it’s pretty so a product take-back is the concept and it’s being put in place by these five firms how often do you find that prices for green materials are the same or less expensive

Than other materials I’ve not been able to find any comparable pricing for green materials in my area that requires a lot of research and it is difficult to do but and I don’t have a source to jump to right away but in Massachusetts they’re the state government actually has a sort

Of green materials environment or preferable but purchasing list and they have requirements for recycled content and green content and that might be a place to start okay so collection of waste for repurposing it’s basically kept on-site in each of the companies and marked separately and then

On treasure day Donna will come by with folks on their milk run and pick it up or there will be other arrangements made between the companies separately to transport the repurposed material commuter rail stop there’s a question here about the commuter rail stop and how close it is to Devon’s the commuter

Rail stop is about a quarter mile away yes Tiverton Rhode Island has a wind power it does drill Park drawing boards the virginia park was set up for the Shenandoah Valley area and included a bunch of soccer fields if I recall correctly too okay it seems like Peter has responded

That they haven’t had any Tea Party problems to date as far as the question about having any problems or negativity with the Tea Party or agenda21 folks who don’t like the term sustainable everyone I’m very sorry it’s not going very smoothly and we’re really trying to

Work out the kinks here and I get this up and running so if you can just bear with us we’ll try to continue on the question and answers and I hope that what we’ve been doing so far is answered a lot of your questions hello hi it’s Peter blow it yeah Peter

We’re hearing you this has been a fun experience so um everyone we are we are trying to work out the kinks with Peters audio he is not able to hear me speak so normally I would go ahead and pass on all the questions to him so I’m trying to work

Out some sort of other method of getting the questions to him and so the most recent question is the price difference in creating zero energy housing and stick fault housing the zero energy housing is actually cheaper than most of the market rate housing at least that’s

The way it’s been designed it’s a little smaller it’s about 1,800 square feet whereas most single-family houses in Massachusetts are 20 to 24 thousand of 2,400 square feet the pricing is is less expensive because that was the goal of the program to get between 80 and 120 percent of the median income portable

So Ecostar was sort of we created it before there was a LEED certification and stuff there are commonalities and that what we’re trying to do is green the business sector so it’s probably more similar to some of the programs pick.we runs and some of the new LEED certifications for communities that are

Being develop so I think if you can get your business business sector on board your municipality should be a greener place at the end of the day we’ve done this with a fairly limited project we fund the program about $50,000 a year and then the balance is funded from

Membership the Philadelphia Naval Yard is that set up as an eco industrial park I actually don’t have that one on my list what I do have is in Bucks County where they redeveloped a former u.s. steel project and they market it as an equal industrial park in order to sort

Of make my list they have to be the media somewhere on the internet and marketing themselves as an equal industrial park so another question is good States legally mandate companies that work with hazardous chemicals though were located in an eco industrial park no there’s no way that that could happen but in Asia

The USAID actually is directing multinationals for the eco industrial parks now again we started this whole concept it took off like wildfire in Asia and then now sort of the Bush administration came along and we’ve had to sort of do things on our own and now we’re playing catch-up again but this

Was originally a u.s. idea got international traction and now we’re playing yes so the social equity part so we do a number of things in that area one is 25% of portable housing another as we support nonprofit institutions such as a food pantry a women’s shelter

We have a child care facility that’s set up that has spaces designated for folks who are trying to transition back into the workforce and we have preferences for housing or the businesses that move into the area they have to do proactive marketing to people who live in there in

The region and who work in our businesses first am i aware of eco-industrial coordination being pursued along existing and prospective companies within the city or jurisdiction as a whole yes and that’s sort of called eco-industrial networking so Kansas City Kansas is doing that there’s a program that Mobile their

Program in Chicago there’s one in Portland a lot of the is sort of the larger network programs in the US are supported by the US Business Council for sustainable development they actually have a program where I’ll come engineer community and work with the city to set out sort of a

Regional network of exchanges by-product exchanges so hopefully that will be an effective resource you wanted to look at it on a citywide basis what are the main administrative problems encountered by families management in eco industrial park and the problems become less severe since the project started ah the first problem was educating folks

I came in and 99 after the project had been going for three years it took me a couple years to get everybody on page with implementing the goal of sustainable development through using an eco industrial park as a tool so after that educational hurdle there was the

Funding hurdle which we had to wait a couple of years to start our programs until bristol-myers came in and brought in a sufficient revenue stream for us to launch the programs but once that’s happened we’ve been doing fairly well since then another question is is there any type of requirement to obtain a

Level of lead for development in an eco industrial park no not within ours but there is within some of the other parts around the country there are parts that require that they’re members the ISO 14000 certified wishes or the Environmental Quality Assurance certification program and we have a

Green building component of our eco star program which you get points if you get LEED certified within the park other than psy as Y of zero housing less expensive well if you’re actually in the Massachusetts area we’re gonna have a tour of the facilities and we’ll give

You dinner if you want to come and explore that more thoroughly give me any email if you’re not I’ll send an email to Neel Angus who’s on our contact list he sort of my green building expert he’s a LEED AP and I think he can he can

Drill down into that for you a private sector champions we have a private sector champion and a critical mass of participant I’ve been sort of the public sector champion of this project here at on the private side we have had a number of managers who have supported the

Project and would fill that role some of them have been promoted because of their participation and left which has hurt us but insisted their company the public money infusion is still necessary will be for a few more years to support the project and fund our Ecostar program

Director again and set up as a non-profit we fund fifty thousand the rest comes from memberships and from grants we’ve received a number of grants recently that don’t expect that to continue and we expected to be self-sufficient in about three or four years okay so the permit process how does that

Work that’s a question that’s been asked we have an expedited unified permit process of Debnath which is one of the attractions to the site we will give you one permit that covers wetlands conservation issues for health issues variances site plan approval and authorizations to apply for a building

Permit and historic district approval so it’s a unified one-stop permitting shop which is very very attractive if you build in an existing building and don’t add more than five parking spaces you have a 21 day permitting process and that would cover things like your saying and your question tenant improvements or

The minor changes to the facility so the 21-day permit process is for less than by building a parking spaces or less my favorite example of the shared marketing is the Gimme five program which I’ve seen awesome from participants and the Londonderry Co industrial park that I’ve worked at

Before I came to Devil’s we try and leave a lot of these things so the company’s the handle we give them ideas but we don’t try and be too intrusive one the educational program is that we provided for participating members is we had a professor from Tuscon talked about communicating your environmental success

How to put together products for your suppliers customers and other industries participation the program life is both star we do have required parking calculations we have a parking maximum and that exceed the number of parking spaces all of our information is on our website wowt.com and use the search

Function we go to parking and it will bring up all of that information you can check both the zoning bylaws and our regulations it’s fairly typical yes we do have a landscape being component integrated into our regulations and on low end development stormwater management really works

Wonderfully on and there are a number of models stormwater management bylaws that are available in Massachusetts that we consulted in developing our rights we won’t have our new low-impact development regs on our website in October after we get them updated at a public hearing at the end of the month

The current ones don’t go into enough detail we hope that the new ones will do so my favorite landscaping ordinance is the green area factor in the City of Seattle if you haven’t heard of that take a look on their website it’s way cool the last question was could be Zico

Industrial parks be designed to operate on a quid pro quo basis so that the company is within limits and rules he allowed the purchase additional or special services over the above a tax payment under finding agreements of course there are there was an attempt to do that under the Clinton administration

We’re going to set up a program where you could get an umbrella permit and environmental umbrella permit for your park that never went anywhere and I think this is more about setting up private sector agreements between companies you can exchange things vertically with other corporation in terms of hazardous materials cantaloupe

Vertically in an organization I can’t flow outside of it and there was an attempt need to address that by the Clinton administration everything so there’s a question again I’m not Philadelphia enable yogurt it is I care try to go industrial parks by how they characterize themselves if they call

Themselves illegal industrial project I won’t list help I do not have the Navy untwisted as such a project I too have a Bucks County picot industrial park that was done at a former US Steel site it’s the perilous us steel site but stem which I got a policy from the arc is

Extreme successful from all oppressed okay well that’s pretty much all the questions we had come in if your question wasn’t answered you can go ahead and email it to Peter lo it that’s PE ter Lowi t t at Devon SEC de Ven SEC comm and I’m sure he’ll be happy to
