a) CCCSD Achieves Green Business Certification
The District has recently been certified as a green business through the
Contra Costa Green Business Program (CCGBP). The certification, which
took about a year to complete, involved submitting an application, then
completing the following on-site audits:
• Solid Waste (completed by Allied Waste staff)
• Energy (completed by PG&E staff)
• Pollution Prevention (completed by CCCSD Source Control and
CCGBP staff)
• Water (completed by CCWD staff)
• Wastewater Compliance (completed by CCCSD Source Control staff)
The most challenging requirements of this process were replacing District
toilets with high-efficiency ones and the re-routing of several on-site
stormdrains.
This certification covers all the buildings and operations at our Imhoff
Place location. After the new CSO facility is constructed, staff will pursue
certification of that facility.
As a new green business, we will be invited to attend two upcoming
recognition events:
Tuesday, April 20, 2010 -Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors'
Recognition Ceremony during their regular Board Meeting (see attached
flyer). CCCSD Board President and General Manager requested to attend
and accept recognition.
Thursday, July 15, 2010 -Association of Bay Area Government's
Recognition Ceremony before regular evening Executive Board Meeting
and acknowledgement during Executive Board. Meeting. All members of
CCCSD Board of Directors and General Manager invited to attend.
