W19: Changed the predominate waste from RCRA landfill to energy recovery. Source Reduction - Went to the use of a different flux formula that significantly reduced the amount of dross produced. Source Reduction - Management Team audits each department area weekly for proper waste segregation and container management Source Reduction - Audits by 3rd party contractor Greystone and assisted audits by corporate personnel outside the facility. Source Reduction - Internal audit of all waste containers to insure proper segregation. |

Other Environmental Practices - Lead Compounds are Lead Oxide & Leady Oxide used to as active media in lead battery grids. Improvements in engineering, process controls and work practices are expected in 2011 & 2012 in an effort to minimize wasteage that is collected and shipped for recycling to Frisco, Tx. Another benefit is to minimize airborne lead contaminant levels that increase employee exposure to lead via ingestion & respiration. |

Source Reduction - Made changes to production scheduling and employee shift start times to cut back on paste batches that need to be scrapped due to excessive time between mixes. |
2007 | Other Environmental Practices - Per David Riley, USEPA, Region 6, EPCRA 313 Enforcement, Toxics Section, the site has modified the 2007 Lead Form R to a Lead Compound Form R. We also identified in Section 8.4 that we previously listed 350,000lbs of Lead Compounds Recycled on-site, our facility does not recycle any material on site. The site will reclaim nonconforming lead grids generated at the casting machines. | ||
