Barriers: B8-Barriers to P2 B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible
|
Barriers to P2: B8 - A reduction does not appear to be technically feasible - Due to the natural of our business we did not have a way to reduce the emissions from the plant and still make our polymer we currently do not have our boilers operating that would use the off-gas as fuel |

Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
|
Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Fugitive emissions leak detection and repair program has been in place for many years. Monomer is recovered and recycled whenever possible for economic reasons. |
