Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
W13: Internal audits emphasize pollution control (baghouse) maintenance. Improvement in recordkeeping and operational efficiency monitoring equipment in place. Source Reduction - Internal audits emphasize pollution control (baghouse) maintenance. Improvement in recordkeeping and operational efficiency monitoring equipment in place. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Concrete waste materials from "come-back" loads or mixer residuals are collected onsite and subsequently sent to an offsite recycle crusher for re-use. This recycling and reuse thereby reduces the quantity that would otherwise be transferred offsite for disposal. |

Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Concrete waste materials from come-back loads or mixer residuals are collected onsite and subsequently sent to an offsite recycle crusher for reuse. This recycling and reuse thereby reduces the quantity that would otherwise be transferred off site for disposal. Source Reduction: Methods for Identifying Pollution Prevention Opportunities - Internal audits emphasize pollution control (baghouse) maintenance. Improvement in recordkeeping and operational efficiency monitoring equipment in place. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Lead compounds are an inherent impurity in utilized raw materials purchased from third-party suppliers. Concentrations of these compounds cannot be predicted. There are no known substitutes for fly ash and cement. |

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
Source Reduction - Internal audits emphasize pollution control (baghouse) maintenance. Improvement in recordkeeping and operational efficiency monitoring equipment in place. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Concrete waste materials from ?come-back? loads or mixer residuals are collected onsite and subsequently sent to an offsite recycle crusher for reuse. This recycling and reuse thereby reduces the quantity that would otherwise be transferred offsite for disposal. |

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")
