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 - The facilitys primary purpose is to recycle spent lead acid batteries (SLAB) for recovery of secondary lead for use in new batteries. The hazardous waste generation rate for the facility is directly correlated with the quantity of SLABs processed. The livelihood of the operation is in the receipt and processing of SLABs. Hence, the more the facility processes, the greater the volume of waste that will be generated. Each waste stream has been evaluated as to the feasibility of reduction of volume and/or toxicity, to the extent possible, and reductions have been implemented to the extent possible. The overall setting of minimization goals is contrary to the primary objective of the operation, which is to process more material (an inherent waste minimization process). |

S21: Operational improvements and redesign will continue to improve short rotary furnace efficiency and decrease this hazardous waste stream. While the non-hazardous waste stream still contains lead, it is in a smaller percentage. |

Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Revere Smelting & Refining Corporation (Revere) is in the business of recycling, an EPA recognized form of waste minimization. The facility's primary purpose is to recycle spent lead acid batteries (SLAB) for recovery of secondary lead for use in new batteries. Lead acid batteries are the nation's most recycled commodity. Over 95 percent of all lead acid batteries that are available for recycling, are recycled. Revere also recycles other lead bearing materials, many of which are classified as hazardous wastes, and reclaims the lead from these materials. The hazardous waste generation rate for the facility is directly correlated with the quantity of SLABs processed. The livelihood of the operation is in the receipt and processing of SLABs. Hence, the more the facility processes, the greater the volume of waste that will be generated. |
