Other Barriers to Source Reduction - PCB's are no longer in production. We work to eliminate PCB contaminated electrical equipment. therefore our service itself is a reduction activity. Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - PCB's are no longer in production. We work to eliminate PCB contaminated electrical equipment. therefore our service itself is a reduction activity.

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T02: External pollution prevention opportunity audit(s) |
W33: Installed overflow alarms on all of the above ground storage tanks. Source Reduction - SPCC Source Reduction - SPCC Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Recycle paint solvent |

Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Note there is a significant difference in the amount reported from 2013 to 2014. Reason is the facility has capped the allowable amount that can be pumped into the bulk storage tank. |

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")
