Dallas First Major City to Make EPA's Performance Track

DALLAS, Texas, September 22, 2008 (ENS) - With a population of over 1.2
million people, Dallas is the ninth largest U.S. city by population and the
19th largest by area. Now, Dallas has become the first large American city
to set goals that go above and beyond environmental requirements as part of
the U.S. EPA's National Environmental Performance Track. 

Dallas was accepted into the Performance Track program last week with 42
other new members that include facilities from across the country.
Currently, the program has more than 500 members. 

Dallas joined the Performance Track program last week with 42 other new
members that include facilities from across the country. Currently, the
program has more than 500 members. 

"Performance Track members are raising the bar when it comes to
environmental stewardship," said EPA Regional Administrator Richard Greene.
"By setting high goals that go beyond compliance with regulations, members
are delivering real results that will preserve and protect our natural
resources." 

To earn membership, applicants must demonstrate and commit to maintaining a
strong record of environmental compliance, set three-year goals for
continuous improvements in environmental performance beyond their legal
requirements, have internal systems in place to manage environmental
impacts, engage in community outreach and consistently report results.
