August Mack's eCAP: Keeping Manufacturers Lean and Environmentally Compliant

    COLUMBUS, Ohio--March 10, 2003--In today's slow economy, manufacturing facilities are being pressured to operate at their leanest while also maintaining compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency and local regulations. In addition, they must manage the legal risks associated with pollution while implementing environmental initiatives to meet their environmental quality mission statements. In response, August Mack Environmental has developed an outsourcing program that accomplishes all of these objectives. By outsourcing environmental management to August Mack's team of technical experts, a facility can reduce its costs and liabilities while improving its environmental quality within the community.
    eCAP(SM) (Compliance Assurance Program) has been implemented at over 30 facilities throughout North America, allowing plant personnel to focus on the production aspects of their operation while August Mack's environmental experts develop, implement and maintain environmental programs associated with a variety of compliance issues and environmental risks. These topics include air emissions, water quality, hazardous waste, chemical management, ISO 14001, and environmental and safety awareness training.
    Liebert Corporation, a division of Emerson Network Power, recently implemented August Mack's eCAP in their Columbus, Ohio facility. Pete Popovics has been the Environmental and Safety Manager for Liebert for over six years and recently searched for a new environmental management company. According to Popovics, "We wanted an all-encompassing program to take our environmental management system to the next level. This includes all of the processes, programs, and reporting that is required to go beyond environmental compliance."
    Popovics found the turnkey approach he was looking for in eCAP, along with a guarantee, something virtually unheard of in the regulatory compliance industry. According to Amy Holthouse, Marketing Coordinator for August Mack, "If a facility is cited for being out of compliance under an eCAP module, August Mack will pay the penalty." According to Popovics, "The guarantee can do nothing but add to our already strong environmental compliance program. It never hurts to have another set of eyes reviewing our operations."
    eCAP takes August Mack's 15 years of experience with its clients one step further by not only providing consulting but by eliminating management's regulatory burden of performing frequent site inspections, regulatory reporting, record keeping and pollution prevention strategies.
