Free Assistance: The Consultation Visit
- How can I save money on environmental management?
- What new pollution control technology is available
for my business?
- What are some of options for reducing regulatory
burden?
- What are
the state and local waste management requirements and does my
business comply with them?
- How can I reduce liability
These are some of the questions that businesses
get answered with an on-site consultation visit from a Health District
Pollution Prevention Specialist. The visit is one of the benefits
for prospective EnviroStars members. Visits are scheduled at your
convenience and take approximately 1 - 2 hours to complete. Following
the visit, you will receive suggestions on how to improve your business’
environmental performance. You choose what suggestions are most
appropriate and that you would like to implement at your business.
If you choose to implement any of these suggestions, you may be
eligible for partial reimbursement from the Health District.
voucher incentive program
The Health District’s Voucher Incentive
Program (VIP) offers rebates of up to $350 for qualified pollution
prevention expenses. Through VIP, a business can request a rebate
for qualified expenses on waste disposal, new pollution control
equipment, or waste testing. VIP will rebate 50% of the expense,
up to a total of $350. To qualify, the expense must be a result
of suggestions made during a consultation visit with Health District
pollution prevention staff. To schedule your consultation visit
or find out more about VIP, email
us or call (360) 337-5604.
STEP 3.
Pollution Prevention Ideas: The Worksheet
The EnviroStars worksheet helps prospective
members identify pollution prevention (P2) opportunities best suited
for their business. It’s also where you establish a P2 goal
for the year. You decide how aggressive a P2 goal you would like to
establish. EnviroStars only requires that you have one. The more you
accomplish the greater the potential for reaching the higher star
levels.
STEP 4.
Certification: Get Noticed!
Once you complete the worksheet and have the
site consultation visit, a Health District specialist will determine
the star level (2-5) for your business.
A welcome package containing various EnviroStar
promotional materials will be provided to help you share your environmental
success with your customers. |
