While many of these are auto repair shops, four of them are printers, including the San Francisco Chronicle. And to once again show that government is walking the same walk as the private sector, we are also recognizing three public fleet maintenance facilities: the Cities of of Pittsburg and San Ramon, and the U.S. Postal Service. All of these facilities are in compliance with our environmental agencies: Hazardous Materials, the local fire departments, the stormwater programs, the wastewater districts and the Air District. They have also gone beyond compliance by implementing measures to conserve resources (water, energy and solid waste) and prevent pollution from hazardous materials/wastes. PG&E and either Contra Costa Water District or EBMUD have audited each shop in this process. We will once again be asking each of you to present the Green Business Program decals to each business in your district.

Goals of the Program: The overall goal of the program is to encourage businesses to do work which protects the environment and to recognize those businesses for doing this. Specifically, they must do two things: • Be in compliance with all environmental regulations from fire, wastewater, stormwater, Air and Hazardous Materials; and • Implement measures that go beyond compliance to conserve resources in the areas of solid waste, energy, water and hazardous waste. We began the program with auto repair shops in 1998, expanding into printers in 2000; restaurants, dry cleaners and auto body shops are possible next industries. 2. What Shops Receive: They receive a very attractive plaque, 10" window decals, use of the logo in their advertising, recognition in our agency newsletters, local newspapers, etc. This publicity will begin with the recognition ceremony. 3. Partners in Implementing the Program: In addition to working closely with trade associations, we have been working collaboratives with many partners from wastewater, stormwater, fire, Air, Haz Mats, solid waste, the water companies, and PG&E: Contra Costa Hazardous Materials Programs, Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, Contra Costa Clean Water Program, Mt.View Sanitary District, Delta Diablo Sanitation District,West County Wastewater District,City of Richmond Wastewater, San Ramon Valley Fire, Contra Costa County Fire, Richmond Fire, Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority,West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority,Town of Danville,City of Pittsburg,City of San Ramon, Contra Costa Water District,East Bay Municipal Utility District,PG&E,and Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
