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* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 |
Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
|
Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - we have torit dust collectors with hepa filters, all the material is recycled and sent to sims metal Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - we send all metal, slag, dust, etc to sims metal for recycling |
|
| 2017 |
Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W13: went to new maintenance tracking and scheduling system for PM and work orders Source Reduction - team members check for issues and do weekly audits Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - better recycling and environmental awareness |
| 2016 |
Source Reduction:: W63: Modified containment procedures for cleaning units
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
W63: added 2 new smog hog collection units Source Reduction - installed two new smog hog collection units. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - better management of metal recycling material. |
| 2014 |
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Reduction in hazardous waste streams- paint and solvent waste. Recycle used oil. |
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")
