Everyone will need an ID and will have to go through metal detectors. Do you havea complete list of attendees? Thanks!! Directions: If you come by Metro, the Federal Triangle metro stop is directly below the building entrances. You would leave the metro station and go up all three sets of escalators and then do a small U-Turn to the right heading toward 12th street, the North Lobby entrance is directly and immediately to your left (Glass Doors -EPA Signified on Glass). If you are coming by taxi/vehicle, you want to be dropped off on 12th NW, between Constitution Ave and Pennsylvania Ave. It is almost exactly halfway between the two avenues on 12th street and the Federal Triangle Metro sign can be used as a landmark. From 12th Street, facing the building with the EPA and American flags, walk toward the building (under the flags) and take the glass door on your left hand side with the escalators going down to the metro on your left. This again will be the South Lobby of the William Jefferson Clinton building. Once inside the building, security will prompt you to scan all items such as bags, coats etc., and then let the guards know that you were instructed to call Cheryl Woodward at 564-1274 or Michelle Hale at 564 1430 to escort you to the meeting with the Administrator. Security will make temporary cards for everyone. Allow for 15 minutes to get through the process.

Forward-looking dairy industry leaders driving to play an increasingly important role in supplying the world with healthy food, stimulating the rural economy, and effectively protecting the environment.

Playing integral roles on Newtrient's Board of Managers, these two industry associations work on behalf of the entire dairy industry in terms of promotion, research, education, innovation, issues management, international trade and public policy.
Newtrient is a dairy driven venture focused on reducing the
environmental fo o tp rin t o f dairy farming and making it economically viable to do so. Newtrient does this by advancing:
1. The state of manure management technologies 2. The marketplace for manure-based products 3. The adoption of environmental asset markets for voluntary,
pollution prevention services
Farmers are perfectly situated to
A. voluntarily protect the environment, B. reduce the total cost of environmental protection, C. receive economic value for the products and
protections created
Environmental Asset Markets Are the Key
to unlocking the potential environmental and economic potential of agricultural by-product. Environmental Asset Markets shift government's role from environmental "cop" to economic stimulator using an environmental services marketplace: A. Incentivizing the lowest cost pollution prevention
to voluntarily act first, and B. Directing some of those economic savings to the
benefit of those obligated to incur higher cost pollution prevention efforts
The Result:
A. Unleashed power of the marketplace B. Increased application of technologies C. Stimulated rural economies D. Increased economic opportunity for farmers
performing voluntary environmental protection actions E. Reduced environmental protection costs for municipalities and other large sources F. Aligning of incentives between regulators and the regulated community G. Overall improved environmental protection
an unprecedented team of exnerts and leaders in manure 17cv01906 Sierra Club v. EPA
ED 001523B 00006088-00001
I. Timely confluence of political change, technological opportunity and shift of focus from point sources to non-point sources of potential pollution A. EPA's command & control model was built on the belief that environmental protection required "negative drivers" to force certain behaviors B. Positive economic drivers, will result in both faster and less expensive environmental protection/improvement with the additional benefits of: 1. Economic stimulation in rural (non-point source) America 2. Cost reduction in urban (point source & stormwater) America 3. Regulators welcomed rather than feared and avoided 4. Farmers valued as the true protectors of the environment
II. Manure is a largely neglected valuable resource
A. Manure's economic value is trapped 1. Farmers are "price takers" for their products 2. Commodity pricing 3. Necessary cooperative structures 4. Antiquated farm input supply chain
B. Antiquated concepts of environmental protection 1. Command & Control works well in urban and point-source settings 2. Command & Control is antithetical to rural outlook and non-point settings
n, Newtrient's ret -i +1/ n f a ' >I --uhnology Catalog is a publicly available
analysis of all relevant dairy manure management technologies in the U.S. A. Open source: available to all
1. Dairy farmers 2. The rest of the barnyard 3. Regulators 4. Technology vendors and consultants B. Designed to provide information and spur technological competition C. Views manure management as a means to generate economic value
