|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 |
Source Reduction: Methods for Identifying Pollution Prevention Opportunities - Management system assessment Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Teledyne has implemented an environmental management system (EMS) and health and safety management system (HSMS). The system includes procedures, engineering controls and refresher training |

Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas
|
Source Reduction: Ways P2 Was Incorporated in Original Process Design - TBP incorporates environmental evaluations during the planning stages of the project. Source Reduction: Methods for Identifying Pollution Prevention Opportunities - Management System assessment, corrective and preventive action processes. Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - All air emissions equipment have a pollution prevention device at 98% efficiency. TBP continually evaluates new technology and changes in process to reduce environmental impact. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Teledyne has implemented an environmental management system to continually improve and evaluate opportunities to reduce environmental impact. This system includes established procedures, engineering controls and refresher training. |

Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
W13: Provided extra waste source reduction training, clearly marking waste containers with contents so employees do not add non-haz packaging, materials, PPE, etc to haz containers. Source Reduction - More internal training and awareness of site staff. |
| 1998 |
Source Reduction:: W61: Changed to aqueous cleaners (from solvents or other materials)
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
|
|
| 1997 |
Source Reduction:: W19: Other changes in operating practices
Source Reduction:: W22: Began to test outdated material - continue to use if still effective |

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")
