Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
Barriers: B4-Barriers to P2 B4 - Source reduction activities were implemented but were unsuccessful. |
Barriers to P2: B4 - Source reduction activities were implemented but were unsuccessful. - Verifications of any leaks at valves, gauges, regulators, piping or any other portion of the ammonia system within the facility. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Ammonia is used as a refrigeration cooling process to keep our products fresh and wholesome. This is the most economical source of chilling. |

W36: Refrigeration techs continually monitor the system for any possible leaks or potential problems. Source Reduction - Monthly PSM meetings have discussion about leak management. Source Reduction - The plant has maintained its focus on water reduction through our sustainability programs. Continual monitoring of the ammonia system and equipment to reduce or eliminate any possible leaks. Based on the guidance on reporting aqueous ammonia in the waste water we have reported the total discharges each of the previous years on the Form R report. |

Other Environmental Practices - Continued water reduction programs to follow the sustainable initiatives set forth throughout our company. Additional monitoring of the ammonia system and equipment to reduce any possible leaks. Based on the guidance on reporting aqueous ammonia in waste water we have reported the total discharges in the previous form R reports. |

Source Reduction - REDUCTION IN TOTAL WATER CONSUMTION FOR PROCESS COMPARED TO THE PRIOR YEAR, THROUGH EQUIPMENT MODIFICATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES. ALSO ADDITIONAL INSPECTIONS OF AMMONIA SYSTEM EQUIPMENT. BASED ON THE GUIDANCE ON REPORTING AQUEOUS AMMONIA IN WASTE WATER WE HAVE REPORTED THE TOTAL DISCHARGE IN THE PREVIOUS FORM R REPORTS. |

Source Reduction - The reduction of total water consumption for process compared to prior year, through equipment modifications and best practices. Also additional inspections of ammonia system equipment. Based on the guidance information on reporting aqueous ammonia in wastewater we have reported the total discharge in the previous form r reports. The drop in quantity is a result of reporting 10%. |

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")
