INFRASTRUCTURE STORMWATER
Is it Because of Sprawl?
When people look at flooding,
says Patrick Herron, water
quality monitoring director for
the Arlington, Mass.,-based Mystic
River Watershed Association, a lot
of people would like to blame it on
climate change. Instead, Herron
points to a body of research that
concludes that increased
development has increased
impervious surfaces while
limiting porous surfaces
that that would allow for
rainwater to be easily absorbed into
the ground, a system prone to more
flash floods and higher flood stage.
According to Cynthia Liebman, staff attorney
for the New England-based Conservation Law
Foundation (CLF): Sprawl development is
a main cause of pollution that threatens the
health of water bodies throughout New
England. When rain falls on impervious
surfaces such as roads, parking lots and
rooftops, it picks up and transports numerous
Do We Pay Enough
for Water?
The real connection
between the flooding and
the water boiling issue is
that we pay very little for
water, Herron says.
Less than a penny a
gallon. Herron notes
that many communities
in greater Boston draw
their water from
reservoirs that have
enough capacity for 10
years, even if the rain
stopped. The only cost is the infrastructure,
the clean water and the sewage lines, but very
little cost is built into the tax structure to
maintain infrastructure rather than react to
emergencies.

(BWSC) for failure to comply with stormwater permit requirements and control
the pollutants in its stormwater discharges,
Liebman says. This highlights another example
of long-term failure by infrastructure agencies,
municipalities and ratepayers to invest in
water infrastructure to meet regulatory
requirements and protect the health of waterways. In the BWSC case, the result has been
long-term severe degradation of rivers at the
heart of the Boston metro area.
The bottom line for what the Boston flooding
tells us, Deegan says, along with flooding in
Rhode Island this year and in other parts of
New England in previous Spring rains, is
that we have to plan on our wastewater
and storm-water systems dealing with
more frequent, intense storms.
These will strain the capacity of
the systems to deal with the
amount of water in a safe and
healthy manner. This is an
issue that communities will
need to address.

Conversion Methods
Weiss lists several options for converting FOG
into fuel. Methane gas is often used for turning
FOG into energy and that typically is done via
an anaerobic digester. The energy that is
produced has the capability of being liquefied
into auto fuel, but the water byproduct must
be treated.
Hydrogenation is another process that can
be employed, Weiss says. Simply put, the
material is percolated at a very high pressure
Ecorefining
For FOG-to-fuel advocates such as Weiss, a
partnership between Honeywell subsidiary
UOP and Italian energy giant Eni S.p.A. must
provide a reason for optimism: The two have
combined to develop a process they call
FOG TO FUEL
EMERGINGTECHNOLOGY
25
A method of FOG
conversion to fuel.

Industry Cooperation
A spokesman with the National Restaurant
Association, which represents more than
380,000 businesses, said the industry is open
to suggestions on ways to deal with the
expensive and time-consuming issue of FOG
disposal. Weiss proposals could be beneficial
to the industry, he said, if they provide
restaurant operators with a way to dispose
of their grease in a way that is cost effective
but also helpful to the environment.
We have heard from restaurants who are
looking for ways to make good use of this,
turn it into biofuel, so that it is not only a
question of limiting their costs, but also a
question of sustainability, said Michael
Donohue, vice president of Media Relations
for the association. Its win-win on both
counts. This could help many more restaurants
take advantage of the green effort.
Immediate Dividends
Once FOG makes its way through the conversion
process into green diesel, businesses and
consumers are free to begin using it in their
diesel engines and reaping the benefits without
making any changes.
UOP touts green diesel as having superior
product properties to other options available
today with higher cetane levels, lower
cloud point and lower emissions. It is
indistinguishable from traditional diesel fuel
and can work as a drop-in replacement or as
a valuable blend stock that will enhance
the quality of the existing diesel pool.
Because it is chemically similar to
traditional diesel fuel, green diesel
can be used in today's tanks, pipelines, trucks, pumps and automobiles
without changes, which will save significant
expense as demand for renewables grows.
Given that most of the diesel engines in use
are for commercial purposes, such as trains,
tractor-trailers, buses and large trucks,
26
RELATEDINFO
businesses initially stand to benefit the
most from this technology.
Because diesel engines are more thermodynamically efficient than gas-powered
engines, they produce more British thermal
units (BTUs) than gas-powered engines
using the same amount of fuel. They also
emit less pollution into the environment.
They are, however, more expensive to
manufacture, which leads to a higher sticker
price. Coupled with the fact that diesel fuel
costs relatively the same amount as gasoline
in the United States, there simply isnt the
demand for them that there is in such places
as Europe, where nearly half of passenger
car and light truck sales involve diesel
engines. In the United States, that number
is around 5 percent.
Rumors have surfaced about Japanese
automakers bringing diesel-powered
versions of their popular passenger cars to
the United States, but so far none has come
to fruition. Green diesel produced from
such readily available feedstocks as FOG
could be the catalyst for helping dieselpowered passenger cars and light trucks
become as common in the United States
as in much of the rest of the world.
Sludge to Energy
uch progress has been made in terms
of treating wastewater so that it can be
reused for non-drinking purposes
thus saving the potable water supply but
work remains to be done on the best use of a
major byproduct: sludge.

3. If the 2006 UMC does not address the past requirements of "return air," especially prohibited locations, what
resource does IAPMO rely on for these requirements?
Answers: 1. No. Furnaces are not
specifically prohibited from being
installed in under floor spaces. The
applicable code sections for furnaces
installed under floor are:
Sections 304.1 (303.1, 2009) & 902.0(A) requires
appliances to be installed according to their listing;
Sections 305.0 & 305.1 (304.0 & 304.1, 2009)
specifies requirements for access;
Section 604.0 (2003/2006/2009) applies to ducts
in crawl spaces;
Chapter 7 (2003/2006/2009) specifies combustion
air and ventilation requirements; and
Sections 904.2 and 904.7 (2003/2006/2009) also
have provisions for furnace installation.

WASHINGTON, D.C.
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
has named three organizations and one
individual as WaterSense Partners of
the Year for their exceptional efforts in
promoting water efficiency and Water
Sense labeled products. The WaterSense
program helps protect the future of our
nations water supply by offering people
a simple way to use less water with
water-efficient products, new homes,
and services.
These partners contributed significantly
to our efforts to make WaterSense labeled
products a household fixture in 2009,
said Peter S. Silva, assistant administrator
for EPAs Office of Water. They also
helped consumers who purchased these
products save 36 billion gallons of water
and more than $267 million in water and
sewer bills in 2009.
The partners of the year are:
Promotional Partner of the Year:
Cascade Water Alliance,
King County, Wash.
Manufacturer Partner of the Year:
Moen Inc.
Retailer Partner of the Year:
Lowes Companies, Inc.
Irrigation Partner of the Year:
Judy Benson of Clear Water Products and
Services, Inc. (Clear Water PSI), Fla.
Here are a few of the ways that
WaterSense Partners of the Year helped
consumers save water in 2009:

WASHINGTON, D.C.
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
announced the first WaterSense labeled
homes in the country. WaterSense is a
partnership program sponsored by EPA
that seeks to protect the future of our
nations water supply by offering people
a simple way to use less water.
The program is helping homebuyers
cut their water and energy use while at
the same time saving money on utility
bills. Four WaterSense labeled new
homes have been built by KB Home in
Roseville, Calif., and will help families
save an average of 10,000 gallons of
water and at least $100 on utility costs
each year.
To meet the environmental and economic
needs of homes and communities, its
important that were doing everything we
can to conserve water and energy and
shrink costs for American consumers,
said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson.
The construction of the first WaterSense
labeled homes, and the plans to build
more, mark the beginning of an innovative
approach that gives homeowners the
chance to cut their water and energy bills
and protect a vital environmental resource.
Since signing on as the first national builder
to partner with WaterSense, KB Home has
agreed to build three communities of homes
that will earn the WaterSense label, which
will be the first in the nation to meet Water
Sense criteria for newly built homes. Each
house includes WaterSense labeled
plumbing fixtures, an efficient hot water
delivery system, water-efficient landscape
design, and other features.
Each WaterSense labeled new home is
independently inspected and certified to
ensure EPAs criteria are met for both
water efficiency and performance.
