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* |

Other Barriers to Source Reduction - The customer usually brings in the paint used in ship repair at the facility and as such ship yard has very little control over what is brought in. Facility, however, make sure that the paints are in compliance with all environmental permits. Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Paint waste containing Xylene is sent off-site for energy recovery. |

Source Reduction:: W31: Improved storage or stacking procedures

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management

W31: New environmental management personnel has put in improved procedures for handling materials. Other Barriers to Source Reduction - The customer usually brings in the paint used in ship repair at the facility and as such ship yard has very little control over what is brought in. Facility, however, make sure that the paints are in compliance with all environmental permits.

Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Xylene comes from the paints used in ship repair at this facility. The customer decides what paint to be used and the facility has very little control over the selection. Facility however does not allow non-compliant paints to be used. |
|
| 2014 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - The facility does not control the type of paint used in the ship repair activities. The customer orders the paint and as long as it complies with all regulatory requirements, the facility has to use it. Therefore facility cannot engage in source reduction for this chemical. |
||
| 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
Source Reduction:: W36: Implemented inspection or monitoring program of potential spill or leak sources |

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")
