Waste Management Comparison - 2020
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* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 |
Source Reduction:: S41: Improved scheduling, record keeping, or procedures for operations, cleaning, and maintenance
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
|
S41: Improved record keeping, SOP's, and spill response. Source Reduction - Used environmental consultants to improve environmental compliance at the facility. |
| 2016 |
Barriers: B1-Barriers to P2 B1 - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiat
|
Barriers to P2: B1 - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiat - We're not able to get additional control equipment capital at this time. |
|
| 2012 |
Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Pollution prevention previously implemented- additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feasible. |
||
| 2010 | Other Environmental Practices - additional thermal oxidizer on line through reporting year | ||
| 2009 | Other Environmental Practices - additional oxidizer capacity was added during the reporting year |

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")
