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*
2017	Source Reduction:: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping[-15-24%]	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management	W52: Added a hot pre-soak tank prior to cleaning. This reduced the amount of grease and contaminants that entered the cleaner tanks, extending the life of the cleaners and reducing the amount of sludge generated. Source Reduction - Vendor assessed our process and recommended that we add the hot pre-soak tank. Source Reduction - Barrel line lead operator worked with vendor to implement the process change.
2016	Source Reduction:: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping Source Reduction:: W65: Redesigned parts racks to reduce dragout	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program) Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program) Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program) Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program)	W52: Removed one of our barrel lines W65: Tweaked parts racks to have more efficiency/ess drag out Source Reduction - Done via maintenance department Source Reduction - Overseen by Monroe Plating Management Source Reduction - Operators becoming more efficient Source Reduction - Completed by Monroe Plating Divison Source Reduction - Operators becoming more efficient
2015	Source Reduction:: W22: Began to test outdated material - continue to use if still effective Source Reduction:: W65: Redesigned parts racks to reduce dragout	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program) Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
2014	Source Reduction:: W22: Began to test outdated material - continue to use if still effective Source Reduction:: W65: Redesigned parts racks to reduce dragout	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program) Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
2013	Source Reduction:: W22: Began to test outdated material - continue to use if still effective	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)	W22: We continue to trial new plating solutions that may be able to extend the baths usable life. Source Reduction - Input and experience from the line operators has been crucial extending bath life and reducing chemical usage.
2012	Source Reduction:: W22: Began to test outdated material - continue to use if still effective	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)	W22: Plating baths are used as long as possible and when we have to make up a new one we keep a few totes of the old solution in stock to make up a plating bath in an emergency if we need to without using all new raw chemicals. Source Reduction - Line operator input and experience has been crucial in this process.

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.

Source Reduction includes activities that eliminate or reduce the generation of chemical waste.
Recycling includes the recovery of a toxic chemical in waste for reuse.
Energy Recovery includes the combustion of toxic chemicals in waste to generate heat or electricity.
Treatment includes the destruction of a toxic chemical in waste.
Disposal or Other Releases includes toxic chemical quantities entering the environment.

The PPA requires facilities to provide the following details about each chemical they report to TRI:

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")

Facilities may also provide optional Pollution Prevention Information describing their source reduction, recycling, or pollution control activities.
