Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Approximately every twenty years we demolish and replace one of our glass manufacturing furnaces. Included in the demolition is soil excavation from various locations either as a road repair or landscape change, conducted during our glass manufacturing furnace - Line 1 rebuild. 2015's increase in lead compounds was due to the disposal of 1160 tons of soil. In addition, we have installed an environmental control system to capture emissions from our Line 2 furnace. Dust generated contains lead as an impurity. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - This year we'll demolish and replace our second furnace. At that time we will retrofit the furnace and our new emission system to recycle the emission dust generated when manufacturing glass. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - The Carleton Plant is expanding their EHS personnel and on-site program. Increased personnel allows us to dedicate more time to environmental issues, including the recertification of our ISO 14001 Program. |

W13: Line furnace replacement in 2014 includes updating computer based recordkeeping. W49: Raw material suppliers are continually monitors as a means of managing quality assurance. W58: Line 1 Furnace scheduled to be replaced first quarter 2014. Obsolete equipment associated with the furnace shall also be updated Source Reduction - The process management team continually monitors raw materials used for glass manufacturing. Each raw material must meet standards set to produce quality glass. Lead, can be found in trace amounts in the raw materials. |
