Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - LDAR program and Thermal oxidizer

Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - MACT equivalent controls

2019 Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas

Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - LDAR program for fugitive emissions, advanced scrubbers and T.O.

2016 Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas

Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Mact or equivalent controls in place

2013 Source Reduction:: W51: Instituted recirculation within a process
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
W51: Implemented an epichlorihydrin recovery process. Improved recovery and less internal process treatment.

Source Reduction - The treated quantity is revised for 2013 as data indicates a larger quantity is recovered with EPI recovery. Better data also reflects a change in the 2012 quantities.
2011 Source Reduction:: W51: Instituted recirculation within a process
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
2010 Source Reduction:: W51: Instituted recirculation within a process
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management

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