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* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 |
Source Reduction:: W36: Implemented inspection or monitoring program of potential spill or leak sources
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits
|
Source Reduction - Inventory Raw materials to identify points of waste then correcting the equipment to reduce further loss. |
| 2019 |
Source Reduction:: W49: Other raw material modifications[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s) Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other |
W49: Reducing cross-contamination at the aggregate storage bins, and cleaning up raw spilled materials quickly. Source Reduction - Monthly Inventory of raw materials to help identify waste in the production process. Source Reduction - Sweeping the main drive monthly to reduce the truck sediment from entering the storm drains. Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Training a workforce who cares about the finished product an the reduction of raw materials. |
| 2018 |
Source Reduction:: W64: Improved draining procedures
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
|
W64: Remove sediment from basin of pond and discharge screen Source Reduction - Hiring a maintenance company to sweep the paved areas and manage vegetation. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Remove sediment from basin of storm water pond and discharge screen. |
| 2017 |
Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - place rock sock at inlets of storm drains. |
||
| 2012 | Other Environmental Practices - Facility no longer disposes of concrete process waste on-site. Waste is sent off-site for recylcing. |

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")
