EPA Helps Truckers Keep Their Cool While Going Green Hybrid Diesel Electric Trailer Refrigeration Units Cut Air Pollution

(New York, N.Y.) What do chicken dinners, salmon and filet mignon have in common? They could all be found in a state-of-the-art pollution slashing hybrid diesel electric trailer refrigeration unit like the one showcased by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today at Pier 92. The technology allows refrigerated trucks and trailers to remain icy cold while switching from diesel power to electric power during loading and unloading, reducing diesel emissions to zero. The technology also puts a lid on fuel costs and noise. EPA’s Regional Administrator Alan J. Steinberg appeared with representatives from the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority (NYSERDA) and companies that make the technology to observe a low-polluting truck that delivered goods to a Holland America Lines cruise ship at the New York City Economic Development Corporation’s facility. “Hybrid diesel electric power demonstrates that businesses can go green while they keep their cool,” said Alan J. Steinberg, EPA Regional Administrator. “Refrigeration is an integral part of America’s transportation and delivery system. Thanks to EPA and our partners, businesses now have the power to shrink their environmental footprint while increasing their bottom line.” Paving the way for cleaner and energy efficient alternatives in the trucking industry, Shurepower LLC, Carrier Transicold, Maines Paper and Food Service, Inc., New West Technologies and Great Dane Trailers used money provided by EPA and NYSERDA to help fund the first of its kind demonstration pilot project. The original pilot 6

project, located in a Maines Paper & Food Service, Inc. distribution facility in Conklin, N.Y. involved setting up and operating electrified loading docks and parking spaces for commercial heavy-duty diesel trucks and refrigerated trailers to power the refrigeration. The project was part of a nation-wide effort to reduce pollution from truck fleets known as EPA’s SmartWay Transport Partnership. NYSERDA President and CEO Peter R. Smith noted that since 2000, New York State has committed $2.55 million in cooperation with EPA and the Department of Energy in pursuing technologies to displace the nation’s petroleum use that goes to transportation. “NYSERDA projects thrive on cooperation among our federal and private partners. Through hybrid-power technology applications, we can make advances to ensure that motor freight, and especially food, is cared for in the most energy-efficient and environmentally responsive way,” Smith said. Trailer refrigeration units are the standard for preserving and cooling goods during transport and delivery. The demonstration project featured eTRU, also known as hybrid diesel electric trailer refrigeration unit. eTRU technology enables an electric powered source of energy from a loading dock or parking space to keep the truck’s load or trailer compartments at a specific temperature without having to run the engine. The technology works by installing an electric device on a loading dock or parking space and equipping a diesel truck or refrigerated trailer with special components that connect the diesel engine to the electric power grid. Once plugged in, the diesel engine can be totally shut down producing zero diesel emissions. The Carrier Transicold Vector 1800 MT multi-temperature trailer refrigeration system features unique, hybrid dieselelectric technology that enables shippers to effectively www.environmentalcareer.com

regulate the temperature of multiple compartments within the trailer. It combines a diesel engine with an electrical generator to reduce air pollution and sound levels, eliminate many components and maintenance items, and increase reliability and performance. The Shurepower’s electrified truck parking system is a low cost alternative to idling that provides drivers with grid-based electricity. Maines Paper & Food Service, Inc. was a key partner in developing the project at its distribution center in Conklin, NY. New West Technologies, LLC assisted Shurepower in the project by providing engineering expertise. EPA recognizes that various technologies, strategies, and behaviors can effectively reduce long-duration idling while providing the truck driver with essential needs such as heat or air conditioning. Truck stop electrification allows the electrical grid to supply power to truck on-board components or stationary components for heating, cooling and other needs. Extended idling has a significant impact upon air quality. On a national scale, extended truck idling contributes, annually, 11 million tons of carbon dioxide, 200,000 tons of oxides of nitrogen, and 5,000 tons of particulate matter. Additionally, idling long haul trucks consume over one billion gallons of fuel, costing over $2 billion annually. The SmartWay Transport Partnership is an innovative program developed by EPA and the freight industry to reduce greenhouse gases and air pollution, and to promote cleaner, more efficient ground freight transportation. The Partnership provides companies with technical assistance, tools for evaluating opportunities, and help locating financing to purchase these technologies.

Securing a Future for Yourself and the Planet: Online Graduate Degrees in the Environment by Kat Godfrey These days it seems there are attempts to make every aspect of life greener—from every line of business to every chosen lifestyle—and institutions of higher education all over the United States are doing their best to keep up with a burgeoning demand for environmental professionals. This environmental awakening and its ensuing transformation of priorities has been so far-reaching that those searching for graduate programs in the environment vary widely from mid-career professionals needing to acquaint themselves with environmental management and ethics, to recent undergraduates resolving to be part of the solution, to environmental professionals just trying to keep up in this fast-evolving field. With so much of this audience occupied with careers, family and countless other commitments, the demand for environmental programs offered through distance education has mushroomed, as have college and university attempts to meet this very critical need. Web-based education specifically offers a more convenient and efficient way to earn college credit, allowing students to continue to work and travel while participating in classes by posting responses to online discussion boards every few days. Since online courses are in particular demand, institutions are finding that in a field so directly concerned with the physical world, it can prove a real challenge to supply programs online that have the same emphasis on applied knowledge as typical graduate coursework. Online degrees, while good for those professionals who already have experience, may not be the best bet for undergraduates. Many aspiring environmental professionals “find they need experience to get a paying job working for the environment,

but the kind of experience they’ll need depends on what they are trying to do,” says Cindy Kang, Associate Director of Green Corps, an organization dedicated to giving future environmental leaders the training necessary for success. Real leadership needs to be demonstrated, especially for aspiring advocates who must practice their skills on the ground, says Jesse Littlewood, Green Corps’ Recruitment Director. If we are to make real progress in saving the planet, “the right people who make the right decisions have to get out there and communicate their ideas with the public.” By requiring students to take on community projects, company management plans, internships, and strategicallyoriented theses and research papers, however, many institutions are finding valuable ways to provide a practical component to the virtual classroom. Multiple universities will be posting their alumni’s final projects on the worldwide web starting this year. While online education offers convenience and often a better price tag than its on-campus counterpart, it requires discipline, motivation, and strong writing skills as students are graded in large part on the quality and frequency of their participation in web-facilitated discussions. “Some students may also miss the personal connections fostered in the traditional classroom setting,” says Michael McGuire at the University of Denver, suggesting that such learners take their courses on-campus, made available in the evenings. Familiar with the stunning campus, Richard Hill, architect and alum of the University of Denver‘s online environmental programs, is one such student who missed the atmosphere afforded by this “mini-Princeton.” Combining on-campus with online coursework—a requirement at many institutions—helps students feel connected to the university and develop a sense of community with faculty and fellow students. Another asset that may be missed in online education is exposure to issues local to the university, although this is often offset by “exposure to the experiences of students around the country and even the world,” notes Paula Demos, of the Environmental Policy and Management and Geographic Information Systems programs at the University of Denver. Enrolling in a single online course at first is a good way to try out distance education before diving into a degree program. Online degrees are widely accepted as equivalent to those earned traditionally and transcripts rarely specify how degrees are earned. Employers focus instead on where you earned your degree, as the same faculty member typically

teaches both the online and on-campus versions of a course. Many professors actually find teaching online helpful as they incorporate technology into their classrooms and because online enrollees are often professionals, allowing professors to learn quite a bit from their own students. While only a few graduate programs in the environmental field have been made available for distance learners, they vary significantly in content, format, and requirements. Offering a Master of Environmental Policy and Management with numerous possible concentrations as well a number of certificates, the University of Denver’s online program for graduates combines the study of environmental science and technology with policy, practical applications, and ethics. Denver’s Master’s degree is particularly flexible as it does not have heavy science requirements and can be completed at in as little as a year and a half or as many as five years, rather than the typical two, allowing working adults to take whole semesters off. Online classes typically register about fifteen students and are conducted through asynchronous communication (meaning you can participate at any time of the day or night), allowing students to meet class participation requirements at their own convenience. The University of Denver’s Environmental Policy and Management Program, online since 1996, recruits its instructors from the field in order to ensure that students are trained in the latest practices and is currently considering adding sustainability and alternative energy to the curriculum. Many of its students come from corporate, government and non-profit careers in the US, Africa, Asia – even Antarctica—and find that learning from each other about environmental affairs in far-off places has been an invaluable component to their online education. If exposure to students from around the world or expertise in sustainability appeals to you, the United Nations University’s Global Virtual University (GVU) offers both with an online Master in Global Environment and Development Studies with possible concentrations in Development Management

and Environmental Information Management, as well as stand-alone courses offered by partner universities, many of which are in the developing world. The UNU-GVU Consortium on Education for Sustainable Development was established to provide “e-learning for a sustainable future” and help meet the diverse objectives of the UN Millennium Development Goals and the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (20052015). This two-year Master’s program is designed to help students understand and formulate solutions for complex issues involving the environment, development and decision-making processes by working closely with their professors through a “learner-centered pedagogy.” For those professionals looking for an intensive, multifaceted program, the prestigious Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences at Duke University offers a Master of Environmental Management (MEM) with several concentrations in addition to a Master of Forestry and Certificates in Geospatial Analysis as well as Energy and Environment. Combining online with traditional learning since 2004, the two-year program teaches through written and electronic formats, web conferencing, case studies, five weeklong intensive on-campus sessions, and even a workshop in Washington, DC where students learn from prominent leaders in the private, public and not-forprofit sectors. Another renowned program is the Master of Science in Environmental Sciences and Policy available through Johns Hopkins University. With a few onsite course requirements, the program can be completed in one and a half to three years, and emphasizes case studies and student projects. If you are looking for a leader in distance education, the University of Maryland’s University College has been providing distance learning since Word War II and now provides its Master of Science in Environmental Management program entirely online. It offers entirely asynchronous online classes, supplying its worldwide student population with flexibility and a proven web-based course management system available only through the University. Pennsylvania State University has been a pioneer in distance education since 1892, once utilizing radio and postal systems, and now uses multiple technologies to offer more than fifty distance education programs to learners from all seven continents through its online “World Campus”. Its Master of Geographic Information Systems helps fulfill the GIS Certification Institute’s achievement points requirement for certification as a geographic information systems professional and allows you to earn a post-baccalaureate Certificate in GIS—also offered as a standalone option online. World Campus programs are also supported by a full range of student services that one often misses in distance education, such as library access, assessment, and access to advisors. If you are considering a degree in Natural Resources, the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University’s College of Natural Resources is a good place to start. Ranked among the best in the country, the College of Natural Resources is nationally recognized in the areas of forestry, forest products, fisheries and wildlife sciences, and geography and offers a Master’s and a Certificate in Resource Management. Having transformed its twenty-five-year-old correspondence course training program into an entirely web-based program, these degrees are supported by the US

Online Resources Helpful web tools for finding online programs in the environment are generally incomplete, but are developing quickly. One such tool is the new and growing Natural Resources Distance Learning Consortium Portal, which provides detailed information on current certificate and degree programs in natural resources management that are available through web-based course delivery (nrdlc.iddl.vt.edu). To search for online graduate programs in the environmental field more generally, try www.distance.gradschools. com. While other good search engines for programs in environmental studies do not yet distinguish between distance learning and on-campus options, they can prove very helpful as you decide what works best for you. A few worth trying include: • The Directory of Environmental Programs at ncseonline.org/dep, where you can search over 275 programs listed by subject, school, location or degree. • Brown University’s Environmental Programs List, at envstudies.brown.edu/dept/espgm.htm, includes environmental programs in the U.S., Canada, Australia, the UK, and other countries. • The Sustainability Degree Programs tool, at www.ulsf.org/resources_sust_degrees.htm, is made available by the Association of University Leaders for a Sustainable Future. The directory contains interdisciplinary degree programs in which sustainability or sustainable development topics and issues are a major theme. Some top online graduate programs in the environmental field include: Arizona State University - East (www.etmonline.asu. edu/degreePrograms/master.cfm): • Master of Science in Technology degree with a concentration in Environmental Technology Management Duke University (www.nicholas.duke.edu/programs/ continuing.html): • Master of Environmental Management • Master of Forestry • Certificate in Energy and Environment • Certificate in Geospatial Analysis Green Mountain College (www.greenmtn.edu/ graduate_studies/ms_es/): • Master of Science in Environmental Studies Johns Hopkins University (www.advanced.jhu.edu/ academic/environmental/accelerated): • Master of Science in Environmental Sciences and Policy program Penn State World Campus (www.worldcampus.psu. edu/index.shtml): • Master of Geographic Information Systems • Certificate in Geographic Information Systems

Forest Service and the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management, giving them an edge in the field of public land management. Determined to provide online courses that are equivalent to their on-site counterparts, Gary Evans, Director of the Natural Resources Distance Learning Consortium (an initiative of Virginia Tech), noted the difficulty involved with translating natural resources courses in particular into the distance learning formats that are required to meet growing demands of working professionals. According to a study published by the Renewable Natural Resources Foundation, an estimated 20,000 professionals will have retired from federal positions in natural resources between 2000 and 2007. To meet this need, a small but growing group of natural resources colleges are working together to provide the broadest possible spectrum of online courses in natural resources through the Natural Resources Distance Learning Consortium. By enrolling at any Consortium member’s university, a student can take about half of their courses from any other consortium university’s online courses. To date this Consortium includes Virginia Tech, the University of Idaho, Northern Arizona University, the University of Montana, Stephen F. Austin University, and Penn State. Recognizing the need for experiential education, the Consortium is also developing the concept of a three-credit “hybrid education module,” including an online introductory module, a module of field activities, and an online follow-up module centered around field reports and conclusions. The University of Idaho also offers a well-rounded non-thesis Master of Natural Resources online as well as Certificates in Restoration Ecology and Fire Ecology, Management, and Technology. For Wilderness Management, a distance education program offered by the University of Montana and the Arthur Carhart National Wilderness Training Center can be taken online or by correspondence and requires no wilderness management experience. For those in the field of agriculture, the University of Tennessee’s growing distance education programs now include the Martin campus’ Master of Science in Agricultural Operations Management, offered completely by distance delivery. Graduate degrees in the environmental field train students to be more than data-gatherers, preparing them to be managers, consultants, scientists, liaisons and more. Still, programs differ in what they teach and prepare students for, so the most important thing to consider is what you want to go on to do. If you are interested in environmental advocacy for instance, you should look for a program that allows you cultivate your leadership skills though community initiatives. Meanwhile, local positions in assessment and planning may require more scientific, regional expertise. Some important questions to ask yourself when considering an online graduate program include: • What kind of degree or coursework is sufficient for your current or desired position? • How much time and motivation do you have? • Who is the program designed for? (Early and mid-career professionals, teachers, government employees, business people, recent graduates with particular degrees, leaders of non-profit groups, etc.) • Are there any on-campus or in-the-field sessions or projects required? • Does the program have experiential requisites? • How much is tuition and would your organization sponsor you? • Do online students have access to all the resources available to on-campus students? • Are courses offered in an asynchronous format or will you need to participate in discussions at specified times? • Are instructors supported by experts in online education? • What have the programs’ graduates gone on to do? Dozens of choices are available; students simply need to match themselves with the best program for their particular situation and future plans.

Environmental Analyst - I believe this environmental specialist along with a team are going to support construction of fence, vehicle barriers, and patrol roads along the southwest border. There are two environmental aspects to this effort and our candidates should be familiar with one or both of the following: 1. Compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. This involves possible review and/or preparation of documents such as environmental impact statements, environmental assessments and associated findings of no significant impact, or categorical exclusions. New NEPA documentation. My guess is the Corps of Engineers will be tasked with creating these documents and CBP (NGS contract support) will review them and route them for approval when they are received. Existing NEPA documentation. CBP currently has numerous NEPA documents on file, and our people might be required to review these documents to determine if they are adequate for proceeding with construction in specific areas along the border. 2. Due diligence when acquiring property. CBP follows standard commercial practice of conducting an environmental assessment (due diligence) when it acquires property. This involves a cascading series of events. III Phases: Phase I. Record searches and interviewing people who have knowledge about how the property was used in the past. If the record search/interviews do not turn up indications that the site is contaminated, the effort stops. If the search indicates a risk of the site being contaminated, the effort proceeds to Phase II. Phase II. Take soil samples and conduct other tests to determine if the site is contaminated. If the site is “clean” the effort stops. If the site is dirty it is remediated the effort proceeds to Phase III. Phase III.

April 2007

Environmental Science & Engineering Remediate the site by removing the contaminants. I believe the Corps of Engineers would execute or contract out all due diligence work.
