Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Leak rates are monitored on the industrial chillers. Calculated leak rates are within the allowable ranges per EPA SNAP rule and ODS regulations. If persistent significant leaking occurs, the facility will look into potentially replacing and converting the units to run on a different refrigerant. |
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.
