摘要

In an effort to become better environmental stewards and to become a more efficient and effectivernorganization, the City of Gastonia’s Wastewater Treatment Division (WWTD) voluntarily chose torndevelop and implement an ISO 14001 certified environmental management system (EMS). ThernDivision, with aid from the North Carolina Division of Pollution Prevention and EnvironmentalrnAssistance, began development of the WWTD’s EMS in February 1999 and obtained certificationrnon June 15, 2001. The WWTD has obtained many benefits from the implementation of thisrncertified EMS. It has helped the Division improve communication and compliance while increasingrnorganization and training of staff and has helped develop a more environmentally proactive culture.rnThe collective benefits of the EMS and certification provide defense against privatization and thirdrnparty lawsuits.rnCommunication within the Division has been improved through several elements of the ISO 14001rnstandard. The WWTD now has an avenue for comments and recommendations from every level ofrnthe staff to be formally reviewed and answered. All external communication that relates tornsignificant aspects, along with the City’s responses, must be logged in central logbooks andrnreviewed by Management quarterly. With the introduction of documented procedures, therncommunication of job requirements and revisions to these requirements has significantly beenrnimproved by the EMS.rnImproved compliance has been achieved with the implementation of the EMS. Increasedrnenvironmental awareness, review and tracking of legal requirements and the implementation of anrninternal compliance auditing system helps to ensure that all areas of environmental compliance arernaddressed, not just those which require reporting to regulatory agencies.rnThe EMS has increased organization of documentation and legal requirements. The EMS requires arncomplete listing of legal and other requirements of the WWTD. Other organizational improvementsrninclude a formal process for tracking compliance, cost, and environmental impacts, which hasrnincreased awareness among staff of environmental compliance and cost trends. Organizationalrnbenefits from the document control process include increased staff and supervisor confidence in therndocumented procedures they are using to perform their job requirements and in locating records forrnreference internally or during external audits.rnAn added benefit to the EMS is a better-trained and more environmentally aware staff. Trainingrnrequirements, dates of occurrence and training evaluation are tracked on a training matrix. Thernprocess ensures that not only are staff members trained on the procedures but they are also trainedrnon why it is important to the environment that they perform their jobs correctly.
