Representatives of the SGA presented the proposal to the faculty senate at a meeting last Thursday. At the meet-do. Jim Wood, SGA President, said, “A lot of the things we have put in the policy are already done by the College.

The proposal also calls for continuation of current policies such as the College’s commitment to “conserve natural resources, reduce the usage of toxic substances, promote strategies to reuse and recycle wastes, manage growth and construction in an environmentally friendly way, and encourage programs which promote environmental awareness.” SGA Townhouse Senator Michael Moore and seven other students began work on the proposed policy in the spring of 1995. They did an environmental audit using a list of guidelines used in a similar audit done at UCLA. In the audit, they looked at the way St. Mary’s handled solid waste, waste water, transportation, pesticides, water use, air quality, and energy use. From this audit, they determined that St. Mary’s was run in an environmentally sound manner. They then acquired information from the Environmental Protection Agency on environmental management. Finally, they talked to several departments on the campus, such as facilities, maintenance, the bookstore, and the administrative offices and made suggestions on how these departments could improve their policies to make them more environmentally friendly. In recent years, the College has done much to make sure that the surrounding environment is safe. Director of Maintenance Robert Abell explained that at St. Mary’s, “the environment is a priority from top to bottom.” Moore claims that there is one flaw in the College’s current practices. He points out that a great deal of silt has flowed into the St. John ’ s pond and that a recent dredging of the pond caused the destruction of an ecosystem which had developed there. St. John’s Pond is man-made and was designed with the function of gathering silt runoff from campus construction to prevent it from entering the St. Mary’s river. Had the pond not been made, the silt would have filled in part of the river, causing the water to recede. In other areas, however, the school's record is solid. The College uses environmentally-friendly pesticides and will replace its old oil tanks with new, safer ones which will prevent leaks from leaching into the soil and contaminating the water. Maintenance has installed flow restricters in the showers to limit the amount of water used. Also, buildings which are uninhabited at night are only heated to 55 degrees. The school’s recycling program has also been of benefit. Bins for recyclable materials can be found in every building on campus. Recycling is expected to be joined by a composting program later this year. Inside ♦ F o r e c a s t in g w it h f l o y d St. Mary's County has its very own weather service-Mr. Floyd Abell.
