SUMMARY:IC2 Webinar: Evaluation of the IC2 Alternatives Assessment Guide
DESCRIPTION:In January 2014\, the IC2 published the IC2 Alternatives Assessment Guide (the Guide) to assist member states in conducting alternatives assessments. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the Guide\, the IC2 initiated a project to conduct alternatives assessments using the three frameworks described in the Guide. Using data provided by the U.S. EPA and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control on alternatives to copper boat paint\, a contractor created a uniform data set evaluating hazard\, performance\, cost and availability\, and exposure for several alternatives to copper boat paint. This data set was used to conduct three\, independent alternatives assessments using each of the frameworks described in the Guide. The objective of this exercise\, however\, was to evaluate the Guide and not to conduct an alternatives assessment of copper boat paint. In this webinar\, Dr. Alex Stone (Washington State Department of Ecology) and Dr. Margaret Whittaker (ToxServices LLC) presented the results of this evaluation project and described recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the Guide and the ability of users to conduct an alternatives assessment. \nWebinar Recording

SUMMARY:IC2 Safer Alternatives Webinar: Considering Technical Feasibility when conducting Alternatives Assessments
DESCRIPTION:In 2010\, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection requested support in determining the availability of safer alternatives to replace the use of brominated flame retardants (BFRs)\, and specifically decabromodiphenyl ether (decaBDE)\, as flame retardants in plastic pallets. \nThe webinar will feature John James of ME DEP\, who will discuss the process they used to identify appropriate technical criteria for this specific application that would allow them to determine if a safer alternative would be technically feasible. The webinar will also feature Bob Kerr and Ken Soltys of Pure Strategies\, the group that did the work to identify alternatives\, about how they determined which alternatives would meet the performance requirements for plastic pallets. \nA copy of the presentation by John James is available for download here \nA copy of the presentation by Pure Strategies is available for download here

SUMMARY:IC2 Webinar: Safer Alternatives
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this web conference will be to provide an overview of the States Alternatives Assessment Wiki. This wiki has been developed by an ad hoc group of state environmental agency staff under the leadership of Pam Eliason\, Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI)\, University of Massachusetts Lowell. \nThe intent of the Safer Alternatives Wiki site is to create a set of flexible\, adaptive steps that follow a shared understanding of what constitutes an evaluation of potentially safer alternatives to a chemical of concern. The goal is not to dictate precisely how to conduct the assessment\, but rather to lay out basic steps generally agreed upon\, and to provide a set of resources to draw from when an alternatives assessment is performed. The Wiki is being developed collaboratively by members of agencies and organizations from the following states: \n\nCalifornia\nConnecticut\nIllinois\nMaine\nMassachusetts\nMichigan\nMinnesota\nNew York\nOregon\nWashington\n\nThe States Alternatives Assessment Protocol Wiki is designed to provide guidance\, examples\, and resources for states interested in conducting or promoting alternatives assessments. \nSpeaker: Pam Eliason\, TURI. Pam will demonstrate the user interface\, navigation\, and content of the Wiki. The web conference will include time for questions and discussion about the development of the Wiki\, what’s left to be done\, and its relationship to the work of the IC2.
