SUMMARY OF DECISION POINTS

BASELINETO SHOW HOW THE REDUCTIONS WILL AFFECT

FLEET FUEL USAGE

FY 07/08 WILL BE THE BASELINE

THIS YEAR WAS A TYPICAL YEAR WITHOUT

IMPACTS FROM

EMERGENCY EVENTS OR SPECIAL PROJECTS

FY 07/08

517,330 TOTAL GALLONS

STRATEGY 1

IN PROGRESS

CONTINUE TO USE B20 BIODIESEL

IN COUNTY OWNED TANKS

ANNUAL AVERAGE BIODIESEL USE IS

42,000 GALLONS

THIS IS AN 8.8% ANNUAL SAVING

OF FOSSIL FUEL USE

STRATEGY 2

CONTINUE WITH

5-5-5 PLAN

THIS WILL REDUCE ANNUAL FLEET FUELUSE BY

5600 GALLONS

THIS IS AN 1.1% ANNUAL SAVING

OF FOSSIL FUEL USE

STRATEGY 3 IN PROGRESS

NEW EPA MANDATE ON

2010 “ON ROAD” DIESEL ENGINES

THESE NEW ENGINES”2010 COMPLIANT”

ARE ACHIEVING A 2% INCREASE IN MILEAGE

THIS WILL REDUCE ANNUAL FLEET FUEL USE

BY 7500 GALLONS BY F/Y 2020

THIS WILL BE A 1.5% ANNUAL SAVING

OF FOSSIL FUEL USE

STRATEGY 4 IN PROGRESS

WASTE HAULING IS UTILIZING LESS FUEL

THIS HAS REDUCED ANNUAL FLEET FUEL USE BY

26,000 GALLONS THIS IS A 5.1% ANNUAL SAVING OF FOSSIL FUEL

USE
