APPOINTMENT BEFORE THE BOARD
Presentation from a Representative of ASMO North Carolina Inc.,
Regarding the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Performance
Tracking/Strategic Goals Initiative: Danny Yount, ASMO's Environmental Health
and Safety Department Assistant Manager, said his company had existed in Iredell
County for the past 14 years. He said last year, ASMO joined the EPA's tracking and
environmental strategic goals initiative. Yount said one of the initiative's requirements
was for companies to present environmental performance information to the local
governing entities. He described several ways the company was trying to prevent
pollution and sustain a healthy environment. (Listed below are three of the most
significant items mentioned.)
(1) Reducing the amount of waste being sent to the county landfill. In year 2002,
about 450 tons were landfilled compared to over 1,000 tons in 1999.
Recycling efforts have also been accelerated.
(2) Reducing the amount of volatile organic compounds. The company is using
zinc -coated steel and powder -coated materials instead of liquid, epoxy -based
paint. An ultimate goal is eliminate painting altogether.
(3) Pertaining to water quality and conservation, ASMO joined the Common Sense
Initiative. The City of Statesville granted ASMO a level two incentive that
allows quarterly water samplings instead of the previous monthly samplings.
Yount said additional information about the company's performance could be
found at www.asmo-na.com. He said the EPA's website might also be of interest, and
it was located at "xN o .epa.gov;pert'ormancetrack.
