What We’ll Talk About Today Current P2 Measurement Systems Region 10 Aggregation Tool - a closer look What a National System Could Look Like Discuss What Role P2Rx Want to Have?

Measurement Systems Desktop Tracking – NEWMOA – EPA Region 8 Program-Wide Tracking – WA Department of Ecology Web-Based Regional Aggregation – PPRC

Desktop Tracking NEWMOA Region 8 Self-Programmed Each person enters data from their workstation

Web-Based Regional Aggregation Roll Up Totals from Tracking Systems Reports Results for Region Applies Calculators and Assumptions for Highlights Page figures Reports Results for each program entering data – Can be a used as Tracking System

Region 10 Aggregation Tool Tell the P2 Story in the Northwest Region Quantify Environmental/Economic Impact Express in “Real-World” Terms

Data Input Screen Shots Data Input Pages

Reports Aggregated Reports for the Region – Agency Managers – Legislators – Business Leaders Reports for Each Program (Inputting Data) Project/Initiative/Activity Specific

Assumptions/Estimations See Handout (back) Estimated Dollar Values Applied to Raw Data

Conclusion Tell the P2 Story – Environmental and Economic Impact – Approaches/Activities that Work – Business Case for Change Influence Funding Decisions Determine Activity Effectiveness – when we can draw conclusions

What Could a National System Look Like? State and locals use desktop tracking systems – They choose – NEWMOA, Region 8, Develop Own Regional P2Rx Centers act as repository of desktop “totals” and aggregate for region NPPR writes annual results/outcomes report based on regional aggregated information

A Vision of How a National Results System Might Work Desktop Tracking Systems example: NEWMOA P2 & Compliance Measurement ( example: EPA Region 8 (more information: Linda Walters, ) Regional Data Aggregation example: Region 10 P2 Results Measurement Tool ( example: Region 7 P2 Results Measurement Tool Demonstration Site ( National P2 Results Report example: NPPR Report, “An Ounce of Pollution Prevention is Worth Over 167 Billion Pounds of Cure: A Decade of Pollution Prevention Results ”

Discussion What role does P2Rx want to play? Do we want to fund activities with current sources of grant funds? Should we make a public statement about our position? What federal, regional or local issues have you identified with undertaking measurement activities?
