Source Reduction - Continuos improvement to clean up discharge water and maintain new discharge limit that was went into effect for our facility in May of 2014 |
| 2013 | Other Environmental Practices - Plant increased production in 2013 in response to the idiling of our sister plant in Plainview TX. Later this year we hope to implement a new chemical addition that will allow us to remove more fat and blood upstream which will lower TKN going to our wastewater plant. This should reduce nitrate concentrations passing through the wastewater system. | ||
| 2009 | Other Environmental Practices - The facility became ISO 14001 certified in the calendar year 2008. This will aid in preventing pollution, as well as maitaining compliance and continuously striving to improve at the facility. | ||

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")
