Kay reported the 'Comprehensive Environmental Policy' has been approved and in place. Individual departments will submit departmental specific sub-policies with aid from an EIC subcommittee.
Connie reported the 'Paper Recycle Policy' has been approved but not posted due to revisions concerning wording over ordinances.

Cyndi reminded that the 'Lane County Household Hazardous Waste Round-up' is the first weekend in November. John suggested possibly creating a program on campus for disposing of batteries, including household batteries. Cyndi replied that at this time it is not possible. Karyn inquired about residence halls and the waste batteries they generate – this is a gray area.
The next EIC meeting will be Tuesday, November 25, 1997 at 8:30 am, in the EMU Century Room D.
