This Toolkit has been created as a set of electronic documents; brief descriptions of each element of the School Chemical Cleanout Toolkit may be found at each section link. Within each section are links to other relevant files (including inventory worksheets and BMP checklists) useful for implementing school pollution prevention.
ACKNOWLEGEMENTS
This Toolkit was created by Montana State University’s Peaks to Prairies Pollution Prevention Center thru funding by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality. Assistance was provided by Sonja Wallace at Utah DEQ and Gregg Smith with Salt Lake City School District. Thanks also go to Tom Merrill, Utah State Department of Risk Management, and Matt Langenfeld, EPA Region 8 for their assistance.
This Toolkit has been piloted in Utah schools and will continue to be reviewed and revised. Contact Myla Kelly with MSU’s Peaks to Prairies Pollution Prevention Information Center at 406-994-6948 with any questions or comments. The version of the Toolkit offered here is designed to meet the needs of schools throughout EPA Region 8.
A webinar on school chemical cleanouts will be offered on January 13, 2010 as part of a new webinar series sponsored by Peaks to Prairies Pollution Prevention Information Center, EPA Region 8 and the Wyoming Department of Education. Registration details and more information will be available soon.
