Hi Pete and Shawn--

Zero waste activities for this past week were that I

• Drafted a scope change request to SSC to extend the funding period for the Zero Waste Coordination Project through July 31, 2020.
• Drafted the Spring 2019 Semesterly Report to SSC for the Zero Waste Coordination Project.
• Sent both drafts to Morgan for her review.
• Read through the final versions of the Spring 2019 PWR Recommendations.

Best regards,

Good Evening All,

There was a short hiatus of meetings as the semester was coming to an end due to conflict of schedules but we were able to meet today. Even though we did not meet I was still finishing and touching up the items we planned last meeting. I was able to finalize the water audit program and it is attached. I then came up with some water sustainability goals the University of Illinois should pursue. Lastly I was able to water a page on why water scarcity is an important issue that we as a university should took more interest in even though it may seem we have no issues here. The Mahomet aquifer is the body of water most of central Illinois uses and each area has a limit of usage before it starts depleting. Once it starts to deplete there some irreversible consequences. The aquifer’s head has already lowered by 50 feet since 1950 and with the growing demand from the university this issue should not be looked past. This combined with the data collection and analysis excel files will mark the end of my time working on this project.

It has been a pleasure working on this water inventory ICAP goal and helping out other areas of the campus more to more water sustainable practices. The past semester has been a great learning experience for me and cannot wait to see how the school continues to progress towards a more sustainable future. Thank you for keeping up with my progress! Austin Jung signing off.

Best Regards,

Austin Jung

Hi Pete and Shawn—

There were no zero-waste activities this past week. I hope to catch Morgan at the Solar Farm Open House this afternoon and touch base on the glove recycling program.

Junren Wang, an undergraduate student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, working under the guidance of Dr. Art Schmidt, researched the impacts of existing green infrastructure on campus property and the relationship to potential cost reductions from City Stormwater Utility Fees.  She provided the following update and attached files.

Dear All:

This is an update for the GI project:

ECE Permeable Pavement(U08032): All the necessary calculations have been completed. We may get 0.22% credit for this parcel.

Design Center Detention(U16015):All the necessary calculations have been completed. We may get 0.307% credit for this parcel.

FPC Detention(U17018): All the necessary calculations have been completed. We cannot get credits from this infrastructure. But we may get $250/10yr incentives.

IGB Detention: More information need for the pump as mentioned last time. But it seems that we cannot get credit from this infrastucture.

Waiting for your suggestion this Thursday!

Thanks,

Junren

Update from Joyce Mast: "All the ECE solar panels except for those to be used for research have been producing power since this morning. Yay! Joyce"
