ABSTRACT: "The 2015 announcement of The Dow Chemical Company's (Dow) Valuing Nature Goal, which aims to identify $1 billion in business value from projects that are better for nature, gives nature a spot at the project design table. To support this goal, Dow and The Nature Conservancy have extended their long-standing collaboration and are now working to develop a defensible methodology to support the implementation of the goal. This paper reviews the nature valuation methodology framework developed by the Collaboration in support of the goal. The nature valuation methodology is a three-step process that engages Dow project managers at multiple stages in the project design and capital allocation processes. The three-step process identifies projects that may have a large impact on nature and then promotes the use of ecosystem service tools, such as the Ecosystem Services Identification and Inventory Tool, to enhance the project design so that it better supports ecosystem health. After reviewing the nature valuation methodology, we describe the results from a case study of redevelopment plans for a 23-acre site adjacent to Dow's Michigan Operations plant along the Tittabawassee River." AUTHOR'S DESCRIPTION: "The ESII Tool measures the environmental impact or proposed land changes through eight specific ecosystem services: (i) water provisioning, (ii) air quality control (nitrogen and particulate removal), (iii) climate regulation (carbon uptake and localized air temperature regulation), (iv) erosion regulation, (v) water quality control (nitrogen and filtration), (vi) water temperature regulation, (vii) water quantity control, and (viii) aesthetics (noise and visual). The ESII Tool allows for direct comparison of the performance of these eight ecosystem services both across project sites and across project design proposals within a site." "The team was also asked to use an iterative design process using the ESII Tool to create alternative restoration scenarios…The project team developed three alternative restoration designs: i) standard brownfield restoration (i.e., cap and plant grass) on the ash pond and 4-D property (referred to as SBR); ii) ecological restoration (i.e., excavate ash and associated soil for secured disposal in approved landfill and restore historic forest, prairie, wetland) of the ash pond only, with SBR on the 4-D property (referred to as ER); and iii) ecological restoration on the ash pond and 4- D property (referred to as ER+)." | * | * | * | * |
Specific Policy or Decision Context Cited

|
Use ESII to answer the following business decision question: how can Dow close the ash pond while enhancing ecosystem services to Dow and the community and creating local habitat, for a lesser overall cost to Dow than the option currently defined? | * | * | * | * |
