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*
2016	Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)	Source Reduction: Source Reduction - INSTALLED CARBON ADSORPTION UNITS
2013			Other Barriers to Source Reduction - There is only one company that produces the chemical we treat with so there is no oportunity for source reduction based on chemical purity. Our industry is required to meet ANSI treatment standards so there is no oportunity for source reduction by using less chemical. Wood treating utilizes closed loop systems and the majority of chemical is reused within the system. All usable product is recycled and only truly waste is disposed. Our stormwater emmisions are treated and are basicly zero. our air emmisions are all fugitive, so there is little opportunity for control devices.
2012	Source Reduction:: W58: Other process modifications	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management	W58: Implemented a post treatment steam cycle in the retort. This makes for a cleaner pole with less incedental drippage and therefore less waste.
2011			Other Environmental Practices - Upgraded stormwater treatment system, doubled capacity.
2008	Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
2007	Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
2006	Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
2005	Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures Source Reduction:: W35: Installed vapor recovery systems Source Reduction:: W64: Improved draining procedures	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s) Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
2004	Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures Source Reduction:: W35: Installed vapor recovery systems Source Reduction:: W64: Improved draining procedures	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s) Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance
2003	Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
2002	Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures	Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)

TRI Pollution Prevention Glossary

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.

Source Reduction includes activities that eliminate or reduce the generation of chemical waste.
Recycling includes the recovery of a toxic chemical in waste for reuse.
Energy Recovery includes the combustion of toxic chemicals in waste to generate heat or electricity.
Treatment includes the destruction of a toxic chemical in waste.
Disposal or Other Releases includes toxic chemical quantities entering the environment.

The PPA requires facilities to provide the following details about each chemical they report to TRI:

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")

Facilities may also provide optional Pollution Prevention Information describing their source reduction, recycling, or pollution control activities.
