Vehicle Pollution
Declines in Area

Using the Caldecott Tunnel as a laboratory, scientists say car and truck pollution in the Bay Area has declined dramatically over the last decade. The sharpest drop in virtually every category of vehicle pollutant occurred in the last six years, according to NASA, UC Berkeley, and Berkeley Lab scientists. The reason isn't California's fuel reformulations, such as the addition of MTBE, which has boosted gas prices and triggered groundwater contamination problems statewide. Rather, it's the demise or retirement of older, dirtier cars and trucks. "It's improved vehicle technology," said Robert Harley, with the Lab's Environmental Energy Technologies Division. Full story.

Schedule for Paycheck Pick-Up During Shutdown
The Lab's mailroom will be closed on the Dec. 24 biweekly
payday. Biweekly employees without direct deposit
can pick up their paychecks on Thursday between 1 and
3 pm. in the mailroom (Bldg. 69-102). Employees
must bring their Lab ID cards. All checks not picked
up will be delivered, along with the deposit advice
forms, to employees on Monday, Jan. 3.
Modification to Monthly
Paycheck Pickup
Due to IRS rules and regulations on income received at the end of the year, January paychecks will not be available until Monday, Jan. 3. If any employee receives a check or direct deposit before Jan. 1, it is considered income for 2004 and should be reported as such. January 1 and 2 are bank holidays, so all checks will be available on Jan. 3 at the appropriate mail stops. All direct deposits will be posted in employee accounts on
Jan. 3.
