DOD conducted an evaluation to determine what are needed to identify, mitigate, and remediate contamination from perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at DoD installations; and identify populations exposed to PFAS at DoD installations and inform them of the associated health and safety concerns. DOD is recommending that the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment revise DoDI 4715.18 to include requirements for Emerging Chemical Program officials to initiate proactive risk management actions based on measurable risks to the DoD areas of concern to mitigate contaminant effects of emerging chemicals at DoD installations, develop risk management options and initiate proactive risk management actions which may be warranted to identify and mitigate the contaminant effects of emerging chemicals as early as possible in the Emerging Chemical Process, regardless of whether an emerging chemical is on the Emerging Chemical Watch List or the Emerging Chemical Action List; and formally inform DoD users of emerging chemicals and of their status in the Emerging Chemical Process.

Ongoing EVGrid Assist webinars bring in DOE and external experts to share information, highlight best practices and raise awareness about emerging research, solutions and approaches. This website provides prerecorded videos of webinars discussing EV grids.

After visiting nearly 100 federal sites to assess requirements for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory has developed an interactive web tool to generate site layouts and cost estimates remotely and more efficiently to support federal EV charging station deployment. EVI-LOCATE (Electric Vehicle Infrastructure – Locally Optimized Charging Assessment Tool and Estimator) uses geospatial analysis, artificial intelligence surface interpretation, the National Electrical Code, component-level costing data, and thousands of invoices to generate location-specific cost estimates and site layouts for EV charging projects.

The study, done in partnership with the DOE and with funding support from the Office of EERE, is an initial exploration of the transition to a 100% clean electricity power system by 2035--and helps to advance understanding of both the opportunities and challenges of achieving the ambitious goal. Overall, NREL finds multiple pathways to 100% clean electricity by 2035 that would produce significant benefits, but the exact technology mix and costs will be determined by research and development (R&D), manufacturing, and infrastructure investment decisions over the next decade.

The Implementing Instructions for Executive Order 13423 require agencies to commit to proactive communications with interested parties, ideally as part of their environmental management systems (EMSs).

These are presidential documents which require Federal facilities to perform an action, participate in an activity, or develop and implement an environmental-related policy.

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has approved an exemption that relieves the General Services Administration from historic preservation review requirements under the National Historic Preservation Act for specified routine operations and maintenance activities.

This meeting builds on the EPA's efforts to develop labeling guidelines and best practices for the collection of large batteries for recycling. For purposes of these discussions, large format batteries are rechargeable batteries over 25 pounds or more than 2000 watt-hours and often used in electric, hybrid, and internal combustion engine vehicles; other motive equipment; and stationary energy storage systems. This working session will focus on both recycling and refurbishing large format batteries. Speakers will discuss recycling capacity, recycler's needs, safety concerns, and other market issues. On the refurbishment side, speakers will explore the current state of the market along with associated challenges and safety practices. Anyone involved in the end-of-life management or decommissioning of large format batteries is encouraged to join these conversations. State, Tribal, and local government agencies; large format battery manufacturers and users; standards and safety organizations; and others involved in the large format battery life cycle are also welcome to join.

While green infrastructure can help communities manage stormwater, using vegetated systems like green roofs and tree barriers can also help improve air quality and reduce urban heat island effects. These practices shade building surfaces, deflect radiation from the sun, and release moisture into the atmosphere. Additionally, natural features such as urban forests and vegetative barriers planted near roads, parking lots, and city centers, help reduce the impact of vehicle emissions and improve local air quality. Green infrastructure can assist in the reduction of particulate pollution and ground-level ozone as well as provide public health benefits. In this webcast, speakers from EPA's Office of Research and Development and Office of Atmospheric Programs discussed innovative research into the multiple benefits of green infrastructure and explore the nexus between green infrastrucutre and air quality. This webinar was originally presented on August 9, 2017.

The most recent ToxCast data is available in the invitroDBv3.3 database. The database was released in September 2020. Data files from previously published ToxCast data releases are still available for download here. This page provides links to all relevant ToxCast chemical and assay data. ToxRefDB contains mammal toxicity information that when combined with other sources of information, such as exposure and metabolism, form the basis for pesticide risk assessments.

The EPA is promulgating this final rule to extend the reporting deadline under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule for reporting year 2024 data from March 31, 2025, to May 30, 2025. This rule only changes the reporting deadline for annual greenhouse gas (GHG) reports for reporting year 2024. This rule does not change the reporting deadline for future years, and it does not change the requirements for what regulated entities must report. This rule is effective 20 March 2025.

Facilitation skills are used to form productive teams, plan programs, and to implement controversial projects. Trained facilitators help groups communicate productively, constructively manage diverse points of view, and create concrete actions as a result of meetings.

These are training materials developed by GSA. The training targets GSA's building managers but can be used as needed for helping to develop your own agency's training program. The materials include a test, or assessment at the end to quiz trainees on what they have learned.

This tool includes data reported by the largest emitters of greenhouse gases. The data reported by direct emitters provides a "bottom-up" accounting of the major sources of GHG emissions associated with stationary fuel combustion and industrial processes. Well over half of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions are accounted for in this facility level data set, including nearly complete coverage of major emitting sectors such as power plants and refineries.

FedCenter.gov's Facility Regulatory Tour is an activity-based guide designed to help Federal facility environmental managers meet their regulatory requirements. It also provides information on green products, P2 opportunities and best practices related to a particular facility activity.
