In FY 2012, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) once again demonstrated leadership among federal agencies in reducing its environmental footprint and promoting sustainability. EPA continues to meet or exceed the federal sustainability goals required under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), Executive Order (EO) 13514, and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) for greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions, energy efficiency, water conservation, green buildings, solid waste diversion, and other environmental performance metrics. In FY 2012, EPA focused on: reducing its Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions; implementing major energy efficiency projects; procuring green power; carrying out water conservation and stormwater management projects; improving and certifying its inventory of Federal Real Property Profile (FRPP) buildings as meeting the Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings (Guiding Principles); acquiring high performance sustainable buildings that exceed the environmental performance of the facilities being replaced; and raising its non-hazardous solid waste diversion rate.

To assist in understanding sediment loadings and the management of water resources, a bathymetric survey was conducted in the part of Lake Linganore between Boyers Mill Road Bridge and Bens Branch in Frederick County, Maryland. The bathymetric survey was performed in January 2012 by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the City of Frederick and Frederick County. A separate, but related, field effort to collect 18 sediment cores was conducted in March and April 2012. Depth and location data from the bathymetric survey and location data for the sediment cores were compiled and edited by using geographic information system (GIS) software. A three-dimensional triangulated irregular network (TIN) model of the lake bottom was created to calculate the volume of stored water in the reservoir. Large-scale topographic maps of the valley prior to inundation in 1972 were provided by the Frederick County Division of Utilities and Solid Waste Management and digitized for comparison with current (2012) conditions in order to calculate sediment volume. Cartographic representations of both water depth and sediment accumulation were produced, along with an accuracy assessment for the resulting bathymetric model. Vertical accuracies at the 95-percent confidence level for the collected data, the bathymetric surface model, and the bathymetric contour map were calculated to be 0.64 feet (ft), 1.77 ft, and 2.30 ft, respectively. A dry bulk sediment density was calculated for each of the 18 sediment cores collected during March and April 2012, and used to determine accumulated sediment mass.

Power Line Communication (PLC) systems provide a bidirectional communication platform capable of addressing a variety of Smart Grid applications, such as home energy management and intelligent meter reading and control. One benefit of using power line communication on the power grid is that it makes use of the intrinsic electrical infrastructure rather than using other wired or wireless alternatives. Home appliances and home energy management systems can communicate with no additional wiring and minimal configuration by the homeowners.

In the effort to meet climate change targets the share of renewable energy in electricity market has to be increased. The augmented penetration of renewable sources in the electricity grids could be destabilizing and may create barriers to their future expansion. Energy storage technologies are being regarded as a potential solution to deal with the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. Introduction of energy storage systems in a future Smart Grid is definitely a complex problem and requires the technological analysis of the energy system itself. The purpose of this paper is to present an up-to-date critical examination of the state of the art of different computer tools that can be used to analyse the integration of energy storage systems utilized in conjunction with distributed generation. Particular emphasis is given to the case of isolated Greek islands.

One of the technologies being tested at Ames Research Center as part of the logistics and repurposing project is heat melt compaction (HMC) of solid waste to reduce volume, remove water and render a biologically stable and safe product. Studies at Kennedy Space Center have focused on the efficacy of the heat melt compaction process for killing microorganisms in waste and specific compacter operation protocols, i.e., time and temperature required to achieve a sterile, stable product. The work. reported here includes a controlled study to examine the survival and potential re-growth of specific microorganisms over a 6-month period of storage after heating and compaction. Before heating and compaction, ersatz solid wastes were inoculated with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, previously isolated from recovered space shuttle mission food and packaging waste. Compacted HMC tiles were sampled for microbiological analysis at time points between 0 and 180 days of storage in a controlled environment chamber. In addition, biological indicator strips containing spores of Bacillus atrophaeus and Geobacillus stearothermophilus were imbedded in trash to assess the efficacy of the HMC process to achieve sterilization. Analysis of several tiles compacted at 180deg C for times of 40 minutes to over 2 hours detected organisms in all tile samples with the exception of one exposed to 180deg C for approximately 2 hours. Neither of the inoculated organisms was recovered, and the biological indicator strips were negative for growth in all tiles indicating at least local sterilization of tile areas. The findings suggest that minimum time/temperature combination is required for complete sterilization. Microbial analysis of tiles processed at lower temperatures from 130 deg C-150 deg C at varying times will be discussed, as well as analysis of the bacteria and fungi present on the compactor hardware as a result of exposure to the waste and the surrounding environment. The two organisms inoculated into the waste were among those isolated and identified from the HMC surfaces indicating the possibility of cross contamination.
