S11: FM47 Adhesive used in AAR pallet production, a new aluminum extruded pallet is replacing the former 6E pallet that used FM47, balsa wood as the core in the 6E pallet. Source Reduction - US Airforce, University of Dayton Research developed the new "Next Generation" pallet that will evenrually replace the balsa core pallet. |

Other Environmental Practices: Energy Recovery - Adhesive waste is sent for fuel blend, energy recovery. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Maintain site SOP's to reduce spills, releases and implementation for keeping containers closed to minimize, reduce fugitive emissions. Maintain RTO operating temp. at <1400F to thermal destruct emissions. |

W21: Paints and adhesives containing toluene are disposed of that are beyond the manufactures shelf life. Source Reduction - Implement a weekly audit of max. minimums in the paint storage area to avoid over buying of raw materials. Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Assist in management of expired chemicals on-site. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - AAR could see a reduction for production of the 6E pallet that is a primary end use of adhesive containing Toluene. US Air Force is transitioning to the next gen 6E pallet that does not use adhesive as part of the bonding 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.

- 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")
