Source Reduction - Mercury was emitted from coal combustion. The faciltiy permanently shut down its coal-fired boilers in 2015, and mercury "manufacture" is not expected in future years. Other mercury "otherwise used" is disposed in broken or damaged flourescent light bulbs. This is expected to continue in 2016. |
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.
