| 2010 | Other Environmental Practices - In section 8.5 for the 2009 report, spent lead acid batteries were included in the quantity recycled off site. None of the guidance documents ever specified any exceptions for this section. I did notice this year in one of the data alerts that it used the term "production related waste" for this section. Spent batteries purchased to recycle would not be production related therefore I have excluded recycled spent batteries from this years data. This is just a note to validate any questions regarding the discrepency between last years data and this year. The same would hold true for the chemical Antimony being that it is a composite in lead. | ||

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")
