NRDC also affirms the integral place of human beings in the environment by protecting nature in ways that advance the long-term welfare of present and future generations. We work to foster the fundamental right of all people to have a voice in decisions that affect their environment.

IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation
ENDOWMENT FUNDS	FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 4	The NRDC's endowment fund is intended to support its environmental and conservation programs (specifically, those described in detail in Part III to the Form 990). The Trustees have adopted a spending policy that allows for up to 5% of the average fair value of quasi-endowment and permanent endowment funds to be used in support of operations on an annual basis.
INCOME TAXES	FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART X	The FASB Accounting Codification ("ASC") established criterion that an individual tax position must meet for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in an entity's financial statements. This standard requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. NRDC has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered a tax position. The tax years ending 2009, 2010, and 2011 remain open to audit for both federal and state purposes. This standard had no impact on NRDC's 2012 and 2011 consolidated financial statements. NRDC does not believe its 2012 and 2011 consolidated financial statements include any uncertain tax positions.
Reconciliation of Net Assets	FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART XI, Line 8	Change in value of interest rate swap agreements $(2,309,840) Change in value of split-interest agreements $(613,410) Pension related activity other than net periodic expense $(4,808,341) ------------- Total $(7,731,591) Form 990, Schedule D, Parts XI, XII & XIII NRDC does not receive standalone financial statements; its operations are consolidated with an affiliated organization, the NRDC Action Fund. The parts XI, XII and XIII reconciliation on Schedule D tie back to NRDC's financial information in the audited financial statements and not to the consolidated numbers.
REVENUE ON BOOKS NOT ON RETURN	Form 990, schedule D, part XII, line 2d	Bad debt contra revenue ($4,064,598) Revenue on return not on books Form 990, schedule D, part XII, Line 4b special event expenses allocated against special event revenue on part VIII ($713,149)
EXPENSE ON BOOKS NOT ON RETURN	FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART XIII, LINE 2d	special event expenses allocated against special event revenue on part VIII ($713,149) expense on return but not on books form 990, schedule D, part XIII, line 4b Bad Debt contra revenue $4,064,598

ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES	SCHEDULE F, PART I, LINE 3	NRDC monitors all expenditures to ensure that amounts are used properly. Outside of salaries, benefits (U.S. Headquarters processes directly) NRDC used the below process to review and monitor discretionary expenditures such as travel and consulting. Program assistants in China verify all invoices to ensure accuracy. All invoices are then reviewed and signed off by direct supervisor of the requestor (either project leader/ project manager). Next, the Director and Deputy Director of China Program review and approve large items of expenditure. Finally, all invoices and approval forms are forwarded to the U.S. Headquarters' Accounting Department for final review.
Schedule F, Part IV		The Natural Resources Defense Council invests in domestic and foreign limited partnerships that may own an interest in a foreign corporation, passive foreign investment company, or foreign partnership. Nevertheless, the Council's investment activities may not reach the thresholds required for filing the Forms 926, 8621 or 8865.

990 REVIEW PROCESS	Form 990, part VI, section B, Line 11 The Form 990 was prepared by a nationally recognized accounting firm in conjunction with the organization's senior management and audit committee of the Board of Trustees. A copy of the Draft Form 990 was presented to the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees for discussion and comment. Once the Audit Committee approved the Form 990 for filing, a copy was circulated to the full Board of Trustees for their review. Each Board Member was provided ample opportunity to comment on the information contained in the Form 990 prior to its filing with the Internal Revenue Service. conflict of interest policy enforcement and monitoring form 990, part VI, Section B, LINE 12 Each officer, director, trustee and key employee of the organization is required to annually disclose any conflicts of interest that arise by virtue of employment, board service, or position with the organization. The organization monitors compliance with its conflict of interest policy through an annual questionnaire/disclosure statement that is distributed to these individuals. Potential conflicts are investigated immediately. Process for determining compensation form 990, part VI, section B, LINE 15 The organization undertakes a thorough process to ensure that the executive compensation it pays to its top management official and all of its officers and key employees is reasonable, given the market in which the organization operates. In relevant part, the Board of Trustees has established a Compensation Committee of independent persons that have no personal interest in the proposed compensation agreement. The Compensation committee contracts with a compensation consultant to complete a market assessment and competitive position analysis for the organization's top executives. The compensation consultant utilizes comparability and benchmarking surveys to ensure that the organization compensates its executives commensurate with the market. Compensation decisions and reports are contemporaneously documented in the minutes of the meeting of the Committee when the decisions are made.

program service Accomplishments	The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is the most effective and influential environmental action group in the United States. Combining the grassroots power of more than 1.3 million members and online activists with courtroom clout and the expertise of 400 lawyers, scientists, advocates, and communications professionals, we fight the fights that are too important to lose. NRDC's priorities are: -Curbing global warming and creating a clean energy future -Reviving the world's oceans -Defending endangered wildlife and wild places -Protecting public health by preventing pollution -Ensuring safe and sufficient water -Fostering sustainable communities NRDC is in the business of pragmatic innovations that transform markets and change the laws at the federal and state levels. We collaborate with those who help us move to a sustainable future-businesses, elected leaders, and community groups-and challenge those who poison our people or lands. Over the past year, our efforts have resulted in policies that will protect and restore clean air and water, stabilize our climate, demand more responsible industry, and preserve thriving wild spaces. We successfully helped shape and build momentum for comprehensive legislation to improve industrial practices, redirect technological innovation toward cleaner processes, and foster smarter sustainability at the public level.	part III, line 4
program service accomplishemnts	Curbing global warming and creating a clean energy future Climate change is drastically altering our economy, health, and communities. Scientists warn that if we do not aggressively curb climate change now, the results will be disastrous-and irreversible. Indeed, climate change has already contributed to many record-setting calamities, including droughts, floods, and storms. In response to this crisis, NRDC continues to press for new policies and safeguards that will put U.S. emissions on track toward the reductions this country needs to build a cleaner and more energy efficient future and to protect and restore both environmental and public health. Our fundamental approach is to accelerate efficiency and clean energy, ensure that dirty energy producers are held responsible for all their pollution (which both changes our climate and poisons our families and communities), and work for system wide measures to create market incentives for reducing climate change. Our progress toward this vision included these milestones: -In July 2011, President Obama announced a new agreement to strengthen carbon pollution standards for new cars and trucks and to increase fuel efficiency, achieving the equivalent of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. As well as sharing a central role in shaping and defending the California standards that underlay the federal effort, NRDC played a critical role in bringing about this agreement reached with 13 major automakers, the state of California, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the United Auto Workers. These improved standards are projected to reduce carbon pollution by approximately 2 billion metric tons, save 4 billion barrels of oil, produce up to 150,000 new auto jobs nationally, and put more money in the pockets of Americans by reducing fuel costs. -NRDC was active in many states in 2011 and 2012 as an advocate for utility investment in cost-effective energy efficiency resources. Gas or electric revenue decoupling mechanisms, which better align the utilities interests with the public interest in efficiency, have now been adopted in 25 states for 49 natural gas utilities and 24 electric utilities (with 1,244 recorded rate true-ups, almost 40 percent of which represented refunds to customers). And by NRDC's count, 22 states now have adopted energy efficiency resource standards targeting either "all cost-effective energy efficiency" or the equivalent of at least 1 percent of system-wide load per year (or, in four cases, both). Specifically, NRDC won the first revenue decoupling mechanism for a publically owned utility in Los Angeles, and fought successfully for regulatory reforms in Arkansas, California, New York, Ohio, and Oregon. Joint revenue decoupling filings by NRDC and utilities in three other states are pending before their respective commissions. Idaho and Missouri now host the first utility-funded, university-based energy efficiency centers outside California. -As a result of NRDC's advocacy, new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) efficiency standards will cut the energy use of most new refrigerators by 25 percent and help save consumers money, create jobs, reduce pollution and spur innovation and investment. The standards have been strengthened three times now since their enactment in 1987, demonstrating that innovation can keep driving improvements decade after decade. The latest standards achieved in 2012 are based on a joint recommendation filed in 2010 with the DOE by NRDC and other NGOs and refrigerator makers represented by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers. Now, a typical refrigerator in 2014 will use about one-fifth as much electricity as one from the mid-1970s. -A new rule promulgated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Order 1000, will change the face of America when it comes to moving energy to our homes and businesses. Although most people won't know of or fully understand this rule, it is critical to increasing transmission reliability and security and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions as two observers of this FERC rule recently described it, Order 1000 is "the most exciting energy regulation you've never heard of." The order represents a revolutionary new planning and cost-allocation approach that opens regional transmission planning to diverse stakeholders; considers non-wire alternatives to transmission to meet electricity demand; incorporates compliance with federal and state policy goals as a major factor in choosing which interstate transmission lines to build and allocate funds for, and identifies beneficiaries to ensure that costs are fairly spread among customers. NRDC was actively involved in negotiating the clean energy and efficiency provisions as well as in the work done in advance of Order 1000 to identify solutions to avoid potential effects on cultural and environmental areas related to transmission planning and solar energy development. This work was done largely in the West in coordination with the Western Electricity Coordinating Council, the Western Governors Association, and the U.S. DOE.	part III, line 4
program service accomplishments	-Capping a multi-year campaign led by NRDC to address the largest source of climate changing pollution-power plants-the EPA released its proposal in March 2012 for the first-ever national limits on industrial carbon pollution from power plants. Annually, more than 1,500 power plants throughout the United States pump 2.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air. This carbon pollution contributes to climate change and poses a grave threat to public health and the prosperity of Americans. Under this proposed standard, no new dirty coal plants will be allowed to be built in the United States. In addition, energy companies will be required to capture and store carbon emissions from any coal-fired plant they build. The proposal sets a single standard for both gas-fired generating units and coal-fired units alike, driving new plants to use state-of-the-art carbon pollution controls. We expect a tough battle ahead to finalize these standards and NRDC is pulling together the broad coalition necessary as well as the economic and scientific facts. -January 2012 ushered in a major victory for NRDC when President Obama denied a permit for TransCanada's Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, a project that would bring tar sands oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast-putting America's heartland at risk of oil spills, expanding tar sands strip-mining, and drilling under the Canadian boreal forest. The project would only increase the country's dependence on dirty fuels and accelerate climate change. Unfortunately, in a more recent development on this issue, President Obama signaled his support for the southern portion of the pipeline. NRDC will continue to get out the facts on the environmental harm from major tar sands oil pipelines, focusing on climate impacts. We will continue our research, push back on the jobs and security arguments that the oil industry is promoting, and join with partners along the route of the pipeline, in Canada, in the business, labor, and religious communities; and elsewhere. NRDC members and activists are fully engaged. -The United States has no offshore wind projects in operation and has approved only one: Cape Wind in Nantucket Sound off the Massachusetts coast. The Cape Wind approval process took a decade, and construction has still not begun, due to financing challenges and litigation launched by opponents of the projects. NRDC continues to be a strong supporter of the Cape Wind project, and has joined the legal battles as a "friend of the court" to support the Department of the Interior and Cape Wind, together with partners at the Conservation Law Foundation and Massachusetts Audubon. NRDC is working to continue advancing other offshore wind projects, including Deepwater Wind's project in Rhode Island's state waters and the Fishermen's Energy project off Atlantic City in New Jersey. -NRDC and the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) released a report about India's ambitious national solar program, catalyzing rapid growth in the solar market, driving prices for solar energy to impressive lows, and demonstrating how government policy can stimulate clean energy markets. The report from NRDC and CEEW, which provides recommendations to aid the Indian government, private sector and other stakeholders in overcoming obstacles to achieving the goal of 20 GW of installed solar capacity by 2022, equivalent in energy capacity to 40 mid-size coal-fired power plants, garnered significant attention and will be influential. -Working with U.S. Department of Defense, NRDC developed a first-of-its-kind mapping and analytic tool called the Renewable Energy and Defense Geospatial Database, or READ-Database. This tool provides Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data and is available online to help renewable energy developers identify appropriate sites for renewable projects such as utility-scale wind, solar, and geothermal energy facilities that are unlikely to interfere with military activities and training, and present the fewest environmental conflicts. Reviving the world's oceans The world's oceans are in trouble, but few people are aware of the scale of the problem. Overfishing and destructive fishing practices have brought our oceans to the brink of ecological collapse. In fact, scientists tell us that 90 percent of the large fish-including tuna, swordfish, and sharks-are gone. It is critical that we establish policies both domestically and abroad that enforces effective catch limits, and promoted practices such as the establishment of underwater parks, to help restore the planet's oceans. Our work toward this goal included these milestones: -In late 2011, the NRDC ocean team collaborated with other environmental organizations to defeat an effort by some in Congress to pass an amendment to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's appropriations bill that would have prohibited federal funding for coastal and ocean spatial planning. Spatial planning identifies the best, and worst, areas for various activities, thus helping private actors target their efforts and ensure better government oversight. NRDC's defense efforts included Capitol Hill visits and other education to key players. -In 2012, NRDC's long fight for sustainable fishing paid off. By crafting common sense and science-based fishing policies, promoting conservation-minded approaches to how fisheries are managed, and defending laws to stop destructive fishing practices, the NRDC's oceans team helped ensure national implementation of science-based annual catch limits in all U.S. fisheries in federal waters. NRDC advocated vigorously for effective implementation of federal requirements by this year's statutory deadline. A New York Times editorial heralded this news as "A Milestone in Fisheries Management" and the Washington Post also noted that this sets the United States on track to become "the first country to impose catch limits for every species it manages." -Plastic pollution in the ocean has a serious effect on marine life and possibly grave consequences for the food chain and human health. At the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, Rio+20, NRDC garnered the support and commitment of 32 key entities from government, business, and civil society to advance measures aimed at reducing marine plastic pollution, including laws and policies that make producers responsible for recycling disposable plastic packaging, and regulations to restrict the use of difficult-to-recycle products, such as plastic bags.	Part III, Line 4
Program service accomplishments	-In June 2012, California's Fish and Game Commission voted to establish a system of marine protected areas along the state's north coast-the last section of the coast to be addressed. This historic vote was a testament to California's extraordinary effort to establish the nation's first statewide network of underwater parks; it was also a great achievement for NRDC, whose sponsorship of the Marine Life Protection Act in 1999 set the whole process in motion and whose vigorous advocacy at each stage of the process for more than a decade made it a reality. A chain of more than 100 protected areas stretching from the Mexican to Oregon borders will help replenish California's ocean life, boost the state's economy, and provide people with unforgettable encounters with whales, seals, fish, and sea stars for generations to come. Defending endangered wildlife and wild places From buffalo and migratory birds to polar bears and grey whales, extraordinary species of wildlife are being threatened by energy exploitation, industrialization, overhunting, and reckless population management practices. Through litigation, advocacy, research, and NRDC's BioGems Initiative-which mobilizes the power of 1.3 million members and online activists-NRDC defends some of the planet's most imperiled species and their habitats. Milestones toward this goal included: -NRDC was part of a landmark victory in November 2011, when the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Montana Federal District Court judge's opinion that reversed the government's earlier decision to remove Yellowstone grizzly bears from the Endangered Species List. The decision was based entirely on the climate change-driven decline of whitebark pine in Greater Yellowstone and the bear's unique dependence on this food source, an issue on which NRDC's wildlife team has worked for many years. This ruling will protect grizzly bears as well as other species, from bighorn sheep to songbirds that share the bears' habitat. This victory was critical because the Wyoming Game and Fish Department was poised to allow a grizzly bear hunt if the court reversed the previous ruling. In addition, recently amended forest plans at Yellowstone allow for a "no net loss" of habitat inside a 6-million-acre grizzly bear recovery zone, which will help protect wolves, wolverines, elk, and other species. -Following a multi-year campaign by a local and international coalition that included NRDC, in June 2012 Mexico's President Felipe Caldern rejected plans for Cabo Corts, a massive resort complex that could have devastated Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park. Cabo Pulmo is home to the only living hard coral reef in Mexico's entire Gulf of California, teeming with whales, porpoises, dolphins, orcas, sharks, sea lions and five of the seven species of endangered sea turtles. -Global mining giants Anglo American and Rio Tinto want to gouge a colossal open-pit gold and copper mine out of Alaska's incomparable Bristol Bay wilderness, threatening to devastate its world-class salmon runs, abundant wildlife, and Native communities. After we delivered 400,000 petitions of protest in a campaign spearheaded by NRDC Trustee Robert Redford, Rio Tinto's CEO publicly rejected the current plan for the mine because of environmental concerns. We will continue to fight the proposal to ensure it is never built. -For years, Shell has been rashly vying for one environmental jewel that has remained protected from its drill rigs: the harsh but fragile seas north of the Arctic coast of Alaska. In 2012, NRDC continued its long legal and public opinion campaign to stop the race to drill these waters, so vital to marine mammals and birdlife. After a Shell oil rig ran aground in Alaska-the latest in a string of mishaps-we demanded a stand-down and full review of Arctic drilling plans, and the Obama administration put Shell on hold. -Despite the growing threats of climate change, toxic pollution, and oil development that jeopardize the very existence of polar bears, hunters continue to kill hundreds of them every year-and are allowed to sell their body parts legally on the international market. An outpouring of petitions from NRDC Members and online activists helped persuade the Obama administration to support a proposed ban on this gruesome international trade in polar bears Although the ban was supported by Russia and many other countries around the world, it did not pass at the 2013 global Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. -Exxon Mobil planned to turn a remote and wild stretch of the Rocky Mountains-including part of the Lewis and Clark Trail-into an industrial tar sands transportation corridor. But thanks to the activism of NRDC Members, the oil giant withdrew its application with the state of Montana to ship thousands of mega-sized tractor trailers, filled with tar sands equipment, along the pristine Lolo Pass. -Iceland has killed 280 endangered fin whales and hundreds of minke whales since it resumed whaling in 2006 in violation of an international ban. Following a campaign led by Pierce Brosnan that generated more than 100,000 messages to the White House, President Obama enacted diplomatic sanctions against Iceland. That nation suspended its fin whale hunt in 2012 for the second year in a row. -For five years, NRDC Members have been calling on the government of Chile to cancel HidroAysn, a destructive hydroelectric scheme that would result in five mega-dams on two of Patagonia's pristine rivers and over 1,000 miles of transmission lines, laying waste to one of the world's last unspoiled regions and flooding thousands of acres of wildlife habitat. In 2012, one of the two companies behind HidroAysn announced it would suspend all work on the project indefinitely. We are now asking Chile's president to cancel the project for good.

Program service accomplishments	Protecting public health by preventing pollution NRDC has seen substantial progress in public health over the past generation, but certain environmentally linked diseases, such as asthma, autism, and some types of cancer, have increased. To address these and other challenges, NRDC is focused on reducing or eliminating the dangerous chemicals in the products we buy, the food we eat, and the air we breathe. Milestones from the past year included these: -After a decade of hard-fought battles led by NRDC and other environmental advocates to protect our communities from dangerous mercury and other toxic air pollution from power plants, in December 2011, the EPA announced new Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) to reduce mercury, lead, and other dangerous pollution from power plants. According to the EPA, coal-fired power plants are the single largest source of industrial mercury pollution. The new standards will save as many as 11,000 lives and prevent as many as 130,000 asthma attacks annually. The value of the air quality improvements for people's health alone will total $37 billion to $90 billion each year. In June 2012, NRDC was once again victorious, when a majority of the U.S. Senate voted down another attempt by polluter lobbyists to overturn MATS. -Also in December 2011, NRDC's expert litigation team won a settlement on behalf of the residents of Dickson County, Tennessee, that will protect them from the toxic effects of a carcinogenic industrial solvent called trichloroethylene-or TCE. For one Dickson family in particular-the Holt family-the settlement brought a measure of justice after years of physical and emotional turmoil resulting from decades of environmental racism. The Holts, who are African-American, had been assured by officials that their well water was safe to drink even though they had detected TCE in it. In contrast, a number of white families in Dickson were notified of the problem and connected to the public water supply. The Holts were left drinking their contaminated well water for 12 years after the TCE was first detected. During that time, several Holt family members, as well as other African-Americans in the neighborhood, were diagnosed with cancer. In 2008, the Holts filed a lawsuit, with NRDC representing them, to compel an investigation and environmental response. In the spring of 2012, NRDC and the defendants reached a settlement that creates an expert panel to oversee a $5 million environmental remediation program ensuring that all members of the Dickson County community will be permanently protected from toxic well water. -In 2012, NRDC achieved a major feat in its fight to protect Americans from the unnecessary use of vast quantities of antibiotics on healthy livestock. In March, a federal court ruled that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must address the growing human health threats of antibiotic resistant bacteria resulting from this practice. The court ruled that the FDA is now obligated to initiate proceedings to withdraw approval for the non-therapeutic use of penicillin and tetracycline in livestock feed-unless drug manufacturers can prove that such use is safe. The decision was in response to an NRDC lawsuit filed against the FDA for failing to regulate the use of the two antibiotics, which, in 1977, the agency had formally recognized as potentially unsafe to human health. A second decision by the court ordered the FDA to act on the widespread overuse of five other classes of antibiotics medically important antibiotics in animal feed and paves the way for ending the livestock industry's abuse of these important medicines-abuse that puts their effectiveness as life-saving medicines at risk. -In one of the nation's most noted environmental justice stories, NRDC and a coalition of other community, health, and environmental groups succeeded in ending a long-standing health and climate threat with the closure of two nearly century-old polluting coal plants. The notorious Fisk and Crawford Generating Stations have showered the Pilsen and Little Village neighborhoods of Chicago with particulate matter and dangerous air pollution for almost a century. In February they announced the doors would be shutting by the end of 2012. This is a huge win for Chicago, where some neighborhoods have asthma rates nearly triple the national average.	Part III, Line 4
Program service accomplishments	-In May 2012, NRDC, with its coalition of partners and the EPA, lodged an enforcement consent decree in federal court ordering BP to pay millions of dollars to install stronger pollution control and monitoring equipment to protect the Northwest Indiana and Chicago residents affected by toxic emissions from the company's highly-polluting tar sands oil project. BP grossly miscalculated the level of air pollution that would result from expanding its refinery in Whiting, Indiana to allow the processing of Canadian tar sands oil. The decree resolves multiple notices of violation from the EPA. It also puts air monitors in place that will foster a broader understanding of emissions from refineries processing heavy oil. With a number of Great Lakes refineries considering similar conversions to tar sands, these data will help other communities put appropriate health protections in place. The EPA estimates that the controls will eliminate more than 4,000 tons of regulated pollutants annually, including dangerous volatile organic compounds, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides. Ensuring safe and sufficient water Clean and plentiful water is the cornerstone of a prosperous community. Yet, across the United States, pollution, over-exploitation, and climate change are affecting water resources-putting water supplies at risk, increasing flooding and erosion, and threatening fish and aquatic species. NRDC is promoting water efficiency strategies to help decrease the amount of water wasted, ensuring that waterways have enough water to support vibrant aquatic ecosystems, and educating people about the impact of climate change on water resources in our nation's cities, towns, and neighborhoods. Our work toward these goals included these milestones: -NRDC launched a project to secure breakthroughs needed to reduce water use in American homes by 75 percent by 2025. We submitted to international code bodies the first set of proposed national building and plumbing code changes, addressing plumbing products, water meter accuracy, sub-metering, rainwater harvesting, and cooling. We secured support from more than 100 companies, utilities, and NGOs for additional funding for WaterSense, and supported new water efficiency criteria in the Energy Star specifications for residential and commercial dishwashers and clothes washers. A top-loading washer meeting the new efficiency standards in 2018 will use about half the water used by most top-loaders in operation today. By 2030, the annual water savings from today's clothes washer standards will equal the water used by about 3 million people today. -In California, NRDC helped reach an agreement with the California American Water Company to adopt a four-tiered pricing structure to reduce peak summertime water demand. For agricultural water use, we identified an innovative strategy to influence water efficiency and pollution control in agricultural operations by working with lenders, insurers, and landowners. -NRDC comprehensively revised our well-known report, Rooftops to Rivers, adding new cities, more detailed economic information, and city-by-city evaluation to spur city action to improve water quality. We partnered with Philadelphia to strengthen and validate the city's cutting-edge "Green City, Clean Waters" plan, which was approved by the EPA in April 2012, affirming it as a national standard and model. We negotiated a Clean Water Act permit for Washington, D.C., that built on Philadelphia's approach to create the strongest set of green infrastructure requirements ever issued by the EPA. We played a central role in modifying New York City's clean water consent decree to include $1 billion in green infrastructure over the next 20 years to reduce sewage overflows. Also, we developed state-of-the-art analyses examining the achievability of water capture standards in a variety of locations and the capacity of rainwater harvesting to offset the use of potable water. And finally, with Center for Market Innovation and others, we pioneered the adaptation of financing strategies used for energy efficiency to stormwater management, presenting our findings to investors and municipal officials. -NRDC released Ready or Not: An Evaluation of State Climate and Water Preparedness Planning, a first-of-its kind, in-depth look at the water-related vulnerabilities created by climate change in all 50 states and what state governments are doing, or not doing, to prepare for these threats. We also devised legal strategies under the Disaster Mitigation Act to spur the most recalcitrant states identified in Ready or Not to consider climate change in water-related planning. Building on climate work being done in the U.S. West and our goal of keeping waters in our rivers, we completed a technical paper, Pipe Dreams: Climate Change and Water Pipeline Projects in the West, examining a renewed trend in the West to address water scarcity by creating long-distance water pipeline projects. And we continued our efforts to ensure that the EPA addresses the massive impacts on fisheries of power plants' intake of cooling water.	Part III, Line 4
Program service accomplishments	-In California, NRDC is advocating for a water policy benefitting all citizens, rather than favoring a few particular agribusinesses at the expense of others. NRDC led the fight against H.R. 1837, securing opposition from the state of California, California's two senators, the business community, and other western states. We maintained Endangered Species Act protections for the San Francisco Bay and Delta area in the face of legal attacks. NRDC also played a leading role in organizing the Golden Gate Salmon Association to unite the California salmon community to restore this fishery as well as the Bay-Delta and San Joaquin River ecosystems. Along the San Joaquin River, NRDC and allies met key flow restoration objectives through the release of flood flows, and we completed a successful salmon reintroduction experiment with more than 40 percent of released juvenile fish surviving their migration down the San Joaquin. -With more than 25,000 acres of water, marsh, meadowland, beaches, dunes and forests in Brooklyn and Queens - and accessible by subway - Jamaica Bay is a coveted refuge for wildlife and New Yorkers alike. But decades of pollution from city sewage treatment plants have devastated it. Today, however, there is reason for hope: New York City, New York State, and four environmental groups led by NRDC have completed a legal settlement that will guarantee significant improvements to the health of Jamaica Bay. The settlement ensures the city will substantially reduce pollution from its sewage treatment plants and help to restore the bay's disappearing marsh islands. -In 2012, NRDC announced the creation of its Community Fracking Defense Project, which will provide legal and policy assistance to towns and local governments seeking added control of or protection from hydraulic fracturing in their communities. Most natural gas extraction today involves hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a technique requiring the injection of toxic chemicals and linked to a range of air and water pollution issues across the country. The new NRDC project will launch in five states-New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and North Carolina-and will focus on protecting communities' ability to protect themselves against the risks of fracking within their borders. The project's activities will vary from state to state, reflecting the significant difference in fracking activities and regulatory protections. Through the creation of the Community Fracking Defense Project, NRDC will be both expanding on current work in New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio and extending its reach in order to protect public health and environmental quality in advance of fracking drills breaking ground. Fostering sustainable communities Eighty-three percent of America's population lives in cities and their surrounding metropolitan areas. By making our urban neighborhoods, cities, and metro regions stronger, more livable, and more efficient, we can protect the environment, save money, and improve our quality of life. NRDC combines the expertise of its urban, health, land, smart-growth, energy, and transportation teams to promote desired shifts in policy and practice that will create more equitable, sustainable, and livable communities. Milestones from the past year included these: -In May 2011, the New York City Energy Efficiency Corporation (NYCEEC) was launched by the city's Office of Long Term Planning and Sustainability in collaboration with NRDC's Center for Market Innovation and Deutsche Bank's Community Development Finance Group. The corporation, an independent nonprofit, is funded with $37.5 million in seed money from the federal stimulus package. This, along with philanthropic contributions and private sector funding, will be used to provide up-front capital in a variety of forms for energy retrofits in commercial buildings and low-income housing. NYCEEC will be able to provide a range of credit enhancements and innovative capital structures in order to make financing of energy efficiency readily available at an attractive cost to borrowers. The corporation will also serve as an information center, providing know-how on carrying out retrofits and navigating existing financing and technical programs. It will also work to increase demand from building owners for retrofits to create a large-scale retrofit industry and the jobs that come with it. Although there is a cottage industry in energy efficiency retrofits and some major retrofits have been done on high-profile buildings, like the Empire State Building, efficiency measures have not been taken on the enormous scale required to make significant reductions in energy use and carbon emissions. New York City buildings still use 80 percent of the city's energy and produce 75 percent of its greenhouse gases. Relying upon resources like NYCEEC, New York City's "Greener, Greater Buildings Plan" will achieve a nearly 5% reduction in the City's GHG emissions, save more than $700 million annually in energy costs , and create over 17,000 jobs in the coming years. NRDC is currently expanding upon this effort and bringing similar programs to 10 other cities. -In October 2011, the San Diego Association of Governments became the first regional entity in California to adopt a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) to implement SB 375, California's landmark law mandating regional land-use plans that reduce carbon emissions. NRDC co-sponsored SB 375, working alongside commercial, real estate, government, and housing interests to negotiate a planning process that reduces emissions growth, rewards responsible developers with legal protections, and promotes adequate supplies of affordable housing. SB 375 was signed into law in 2008, and NRDC has been working on its implementation over the past years, placing a special focus on equitable transportation services and on developing models of transit-oriented revitalization for distressed neighborhoods. -Then in April 2012, thanks to NRDC advocacy and education leadership again, Southern California and Sacramento unanimously approved their first ever Sustainable Communities Strategies. The Southern California Association of Government's plan alone is projected to save more than 400 square miles of open space-more than one-third the size of Yosemite-from development, and the Sacramento region will accommodate 39 percent increase in population growth by expanding the urban footprint only 7 percent. The Southern California plan is particularly noteworthy, since in what many consider the cradle of sprawl it commits to: (1) bring 12 key transit expansion projects to Los Angeles in the next 10 years, (2) increase by 350 percent from $1.8B to $6.78B funding for active transportation (biking and walking), (3) spend $246 billion-nearly half the plan's total revenue-on public transportation, (4) create 60 percent more housing near transit than is currently available, and (5) create 4.2 million jobs in the region, 87 percent of all jobs will be mile from transit. In 2013, NRDC will continue pressing for similar plans in the Bay Area and California's rapidly growing Central Valley.	Part III, Line 4
Program service accomplishments	-In July 2012, President Obama signed Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (P.L. 112-141) into law. This statute authorizes $105 billion of investments over two years in transportation infrastructure: highways, roads, rail lines, buses and non-motorized transportation facilities, such as bike trails. NRDC co-founded and worked with a national coalition of advocates, Transportation for America, to influence the law to boost investment in environmentally beneficial projects. Staff testified multiple times before Congressional committees, generated activist and media attention to the policy, and fought against potentially devastating proposals pushed by some in Congress such as funding the bill with more domestic oil drilling and eliminating dedicated funding for public transportation. Although it would be a stretch to call the new law "green," for the first time it does require the federal government, states, and metropolitan planning organizations to develop performance measures and targets for air quality and environmental sustainability and it improves the process for delivering transit projects. And thanks in part to NRDC advocacy, some of the most environmentally damaging proposals from the House of Representatives ended up on the cutting room floor. -In August 2012, the Obama administration finalized fuel economy and clean car standards for new cars and light trucks (or automobiles) that cut pollution, reduce our dependence on oil, and save consumers money. In 2025, under the 54.5 mpg-equivalent standard, average new automobiles will consume half as much fuel per year as the vehicles on the road today. When combined with stronger standards also adopted by this administration for 2016 automobiles, the United States will save an estimated $1.7 trillion, reduce oil demand by 3.1 million barrels per day, and cut imports by roughly a third. Annual carbon pollution in 2030 will be reduced by about 570 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, which is equivalent to the pollution from 85 million of today's cars or 140 coal-fired power plants. NRDC is also committed to public education about environmental issues and NRDC's solutions. Our federal and national media teams ensure that NRDC is cited in national and international press on a daily basis.
