Waste Management Comparison - 2018
Pollution Prevention Activities for Selected Chemical
| Reporting Year | Section 8.10: Newly Implemented Source Reduction Activity | Section 8.10: Methods to Identify Activity | Section 8.11: Optional Pollution Prevention Information* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 |
Source Reduction:: S41: Improved scheduling, record keeping, or procedures for operations, cleaning, and maintenance
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Paint and solvent waste is sent off-site for energy recovery. |
| 2021 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - This chemical is contained in the paints and solvents used at the shipyard. Since the ship's owners supplies the paint facility does not have much access to source reduction. Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Paint and solvent waste is sent off-site for energy recovery. |
||
| 2020 |
Source Reduction:: W31: Improved storage or stacking procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W31: Management has instituted improved procedures for storage and transportation of paints. Also Improvement has been made in recordkeeping, training and oversight. Source Reduction - Environmental team participates in training and improved communication to prevent spills and leaks. Other Barriers to Source Reduction - This chemical is contained in the paints and solvents used at the shipyard. Since the ship's owners supplies the paint facility does not have much access to source reduction. Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Paint and solvent waste is sent off-site for energy recovery. |
| 2019 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - This chemical is contained in the paints and solvents used at the shipyard. Since the ship's owners supplies the paint facility does not have much access to source reduction. Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Paint and solvent waste is sent off-site for energy recovery. |

| 2018 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - This chemical is contained in the paints and solvents used at the shipyard. Since the ship's owners supplies the paint facility does not have much access to source reduction. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - New management has made several positive changes to the operation to reduce emissions. |

| 2017 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - This chemical is contained in the paints and solvents used at the shipyard. The ship owners supply the paints and solvents and therefore the facility does not have much access to source reduction. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - new management has brought on positive changes to reduce waste. |
||
| 2016 |
Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W13: New management has brought about better housekeeping and oversight of production Source Reduction - There is better communication among personnel due to new and better management. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - New management has brought on positive changes to production process. |
| 2015 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - The paints used in ship repair is mostly chosen by the ship's owner. The facility does not have control over the kind of paints used. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Recordkeeping and employee training have improved very much over the years |
||
| 2014 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - This chemical is a component of the paints used in ship repair. The paints used in the ship repair business are selected and bought by the customer. As long as the paints are in compliance with facility's all applicable permit requirements, the facility has to use the paints selected by the customer. Therefore source reduction is difficult to implement. |
||
| 2013 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Paint usage is dictated by the customers and as such the facility has limited control over the type and quantity of the paints used. |
||
| 2000 |
Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)

TRI Pollution Prevention Glossary
The Waste Management Hierarchy |
The waste management hierarchy established by the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) guides waste generators toward the best options for managing wastes.
The preferred option is to prevent pollution at its source, but for waste that is generated, the preferred management methods are recycling, followed
by burning for energy recovery, treatment and, as a last resort, disposing of the waste.

- A breakdown of production-related waste managed. This includes all amounts of the chemical released directly to the environment or otherwise managed as waste, other than waste generated by one-time events not associated with normal production processes (e.g., fires or remedial actions).
- A production ratio or activity index to provide context for reported toxic chemical quantities. For example, if a chemical is used in the manufacture of refrigerators, the production index would track the number of refrigerators produced and could be used to help gauge how much of the chemical is being released per unit of production.
- Any newly implemented source reduction activities, reported using "W-codes" (e.g., "W41: Increased purity of raw materials")
