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* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 |
Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Implementation of an EMS |

| 2012 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feasible |
||
| 2011 |
Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance |
Source Reduction - Process modifications resulted in the shutdown of an emission source in 4Q2010. The removal of this source (Bake Oven #1) resulted in a significant decrease in propionaldehyde emissions. |

Other Environmental Practices - Ran trials to produce hardboard without tempering in Bake Oven #1. Goal is to eliminate the use Bake Oven #1 in 2010. |
| 2008 | Other Environmental Practices - Conducted trial operations to see if one emission source could be eliminated. Trials continue. |

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")
