Holbrook's proposed simplified method for calculating the numbers used to determine the winners of the VI Environmental Awards.

Accordingly, I propose the following formula for Committee consideration at our September meeting: Score = 100 - A - B - C - 10D Where A = The number of RVCM daily average exceedances B = The number of ROL exceedances C = The number of vent control device 3 hour average exceedances D = The number of emergency releases (relief valve, rupture disc, manual vent) This formula fits both PVC and EDC/VCM plants. It is simple and does not require other accounting associated with our current percentage determination formula. Please distribute this for review prior to our September meeting.
