Source Reduction:: S04: Substituted manufacturing aid, processing aid, or other ancillary chemical

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other

Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Operators are managing our WWTP daily as well as our Land Application System. The system is constantly monitored to ensure we meet permit requirements. A third party lab performs all tests associated with permit reporting |

Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Currently we are collecting data for Nitrates/Nitrites as part of our WWTP NPDES Permit and reporting values monthly with our DMRs. We do not have any limits associated with this component of the effluent stream. We are unaware of any options for reducing this component. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - We are still returning a portion of our effluent stream back to the facility. A permanent Reverse Osmosis Unit was installed at our WWTP facility |
|
| 2018 |
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - We currently return some of the effluent water back to the facility and process it through an Reverse Osmosis Unit so that it could be used. This limits our total effluent discharges and thus the amount of Nitrates discharged to the river as well. |

Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - MillerCoors is continuing to return effluent to the head of the plant to minimize effluent discharge |

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")
