In June 2008, the Office of Health, Safety, and Security
recognized outstanding environmentally sustainable
practices within the Department over the past year,
through three environmental award programs: the Department
of Energy's (DOE) Pollution Prevention (P2) Star Awards,
the White House Closing the Circle Awards, and the
Federal Electronics Challenge. Acting Deputy Secretary
of Energy Jeffrey Kupfer, along with Chief Information
Officer Thomas Pyke, presided over the award ceremony.
Marcus Peacock, EPA Deputy Administrator, presented
DOE with the Federal Electronics Challenge Agency
Partner Award, which recognized DOE's achievements
for its leadership in the electronics stewardship
during the year.
These exemplary practices and projects have significant
savings in operational costs, worker safety enhancement,
and protection of the environment associated with
them.
Sites receiving P2 Star awards were the National
Renewable Energy Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories-New
Mexico, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Princeton Plasma
Physics Laboratory, and the Fermi National Accelerator
Laboratory. Sites receiving P2 Star honorable mentions
were the Savannah River Site, Sandia National Laboratories-New
Mexico, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Princeton
Plasma Physics Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National
Laboratory.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory and DOE Headquarters
received White House Closing the Circle awards. The
National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Sandia National
Laboratories-New Mexico received White House Closing
the Circle honorable mentions.
Sites winning Federal Electronics Challenge awards
were Portsmouth, National Renewable Energy Laboratory,
Brookhaven National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory,
Sandia National Laboratory-New Mexico, and the Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory.
