Department of Ecology Saving Dollars on Print Jobs Ecology expends limited operating funds to print large quantities of technical documents and guidance manuals through the State Printer. Ecology sells some of these documents to the public to recover printing costs. After the document is sold, the money cannot be used by Ecology for other priority needs during the biennium. This money is considered to be a receivable and is subject to future appropriation by the Legislature. Ecology and the State Printer worked cooperatively to implement a pilot program similar to private print shops. The pilot, initiated in February 1999, is for the printing of Ecology's manual "Criteria for Sewage Works Design." The State Printer maintains a camera-ready copy of the manual and takes orders from the public. The State Printer recovers the cost of printing directly. Results ★ Up-front printing costs to Ecology are eliminated, saving $15,000. ★ The manual is printed on an order basis only, eliminating the shelf time of printed manuals. ★ Changes or updates to the manual can be made without making previously printed copies obsolete. ★ Eliminates Ecology staff time taking orders, packaging and shipping the manual and taking payments, saving 53 hours.

Department of Ecology Getting Grants to Local Government Quicker Ecology awards grants to local government for toxic cleanup projects. In the past, many of these grants went to large, complex projects where an enforcement order or consent decree to clean up a site were in effect. Grants for smaller projects, such as those needed by school, fire and road districts, were hampered by the paperwork and process involved in negotiating formal agreements for clean up actions. Ecology staff worked to: • Streamline the paperwork and formal agreements needed to obtain a toxic cleanup grant for small projects. • Allow local government to apply for a toxic cleanup grant after conducting the smaller cleanup. Results ★ Percent of toxic cleanup grants going to small local government projects increased 46%. ★ The total average amount of grant dollars going toward small projects each fiscal year increased $917,892. ★ The projected avoidance of process costs to local government in fiscal year 1999 is $1.88 Million. ★ Cleanup of small projects are getting done faster = protecting the air, land and water of the state.
