It appears to be less toxic and I have used it for home use. For industrial, the tung oil and parrafin can be left out or replaced by linseed oil or used motor oil. You would have to play around with the formula that works best for the application. Research the hazards of the copper8 ingredient. RF curable adhesive is commonly used on wood. It is faster and has little or no emissions. Whether it would have the properties (water resistance, etc) of urea formaldehyde-based adhesive, check with the vendors.

The program will include a review of key environmental compliance issues for small-medium lithographic printers, and a discussion of compliance approaches, especially focusing on pollution prevention strategies. Issues that will be considered include rag management, ink waste reduction, reduction of alcohol indampening solution, and reducing VOC's from various sources including press cleaning. A theme throughout the program is that by building good process controls into their operations, printers will improve quality, reduce wastes and improve profitability. Video footage used for the program will feature interviews of printing experts.

Newer softeners, although they still use NaCl, use much less water when they recharge (about 30 gallons as opposed to 100 gallons for older models), and also sample the water so they recharge as needed, rather than a preset 2 or 3 times a week whether it's needed or not. For those who don't consume much water in their homes, this is really helpful. I'll be interested to hear of any new improvements, also.

Eggshells, i believe, are high in calcium. Would there be opportunities to process them for a usage based upon the need for calcium? Pig farmers may be willing to accept some of this food waste and blend it in the slop cooked as feed. Zoos may find eggshells a specialty feed, or desire to blend them into existing feeds, for some more exotic critters. Fertilizer Production? i recommend looking up information on egg shell chemical analysis. Such information should be helpful in determining potential outlets. Does the waste develop odor problems...this would probably affect reuse options to a very large extent...or is the waste washed (another waste of concern)? Is the generator willing to consider processing the waste to a more marketable form? Sterilization and/or grinding the shells to a powder (or other utile gradation specification) may enhance reuse options especially if the shells are clean and not developing odors. Quantity and consistency in the quality of waste will make some options more acceptable than others, especially over time. Please let me know if any of these ideas "hatch". i'm told i have a talont for this stuff.

So why not send the eggshells back to the chickens--as feed supplement. Chickens, as you might imagine, require a lot of calcium to keep cranking out eggs. Naturally, to prevent the spread of disease among the chickens, you'll want to sterilize the shells.

The National Center for Environmental Research and Quality Assurance (NCERQA) has issued a Request for Applications for research proposals for the Science To Achieve Results (STAR) program grants. There are many grant opportunities listed but the two categories of grants which represents millions of dollars in funds providing the research relevant to P2 are: 1) Technology for a Sustainable Environment and 2) Decision-Making and Valuation for Environmental Policy The EPA's Office of Research and Development and the National Science Foundation team up each year to offer major grant opportunities for environmental research. Pollution Prevention is a highly appropriate and relevant area of research under two of the three solicitation categories: 1) Technology for a Sustainable Environment (web location: es.epa.gov/ncerqa/rfa/98tse.html) and 2) Decision-Making and Valuation for Environmental Policy (web location: es.epa.gov/ncerqa/rfa/98valrfa.html). For these two categories alone, over $6 million is available in grants funds. Awards are likely to range from $50,000 to $150,000 per award year, with an approximate duration of two to three years. Academic and not-for-profit institutions located in the U.S., and State or local governments are eligible to apply. Profit-making firms and federal agencies are not eligible to apply to this program. However, personnel in profit-making firms may participate as non-funded co-investigators or through sub-contracts with the awardee institution. We encourage you to review the grant announcements at the above-mentioned websites. The application deadlines are fast approaching: The Technology proposals are due February 17, 1998 and the Decision-Making proposals are due January 15, 1998. It is anticipated that the grants will be awarded in Fall of 1998.

The advantage that I am gathering is toxicity to mammals (cats, children) if children/animals might like the sweet taste of ethylene glycol. I have also gathered from research that additives to the antifreeze may compromize the low toxicity of the propylene, but that's all the detail I have on that angle. I also know a facility here in Texas that uses the propylene and they recycle as the previous message suggested (closed-loop on vehicle). Finally, if interested i have a life cycle assessment comparing the two glycols (somewhere ... I'd have to dig for it).

These programs may be keyed to TRI chemicals, but not necessarily. Bob: In addition to managing the Texas Waste Reduction Policy Act's pollution prevention planning requirements (for facilities who meet certain thresholds for hazardous waste generation and/or who report on the TRI Form R), the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission's Office of Pollution Prevention & Recycling manages a number of voluntary programs such as the CLEAN INDUSTRIES 2000, CLEAN CITIES 2000, and CLEAN TEXAS STAR programs. Each program focuses on a different group/customer base and the wastes they generate. Members pledge to voluntarily reduce wastes and to undertake other projects involving environmental education, etc. The CLEAN INDUSTRIES 2000 program, for example, is tied to hazardous waste generation and/or TRI releases and transfers. The other programs focus mainly on municipal/non-hazardous wastes. I would be happy to forward along information regarding these programs.

We have had excellent response from farmers on using our materials to reduce or eliminate pollution risk on their operations. While we don't work with TRI's we do address a wide range of sources of toxics(pesticides, petroleum storage, haz waster); nitrates (manure, fertilizer, septic tanks) and microorganisms (livestock, septic tanks) on the farm or ranch. There are 47 state Farm*A*Syst programs and if I am reading your email address correctly it looks like you are in South Carolina.

The program requires preparation of a plan, kept in files, plus annual summary and reporting, submitted to the TNRCC. There are no mandatory reduction requirements, but a 90% reduction over some period gets you reduced planning and reporting. Ralph Ralph E. Cooper, Ph.D. J.D.

We are launching this program in the hotel sector, since the incentive is fairly clear, manufactureres will be next and more of a challenge! Anyone interested can read the summary below: The Vermont Business Environmental Partnership Program Highlighting Superior Environmental Performance by Vermont Businesses The Vermont Small Business Development Center (SBDC), the Vermont Manufacturing Extension Center (VMEC) and the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources- Environmental Assistance Division (EAD) have announced a new, voluntary challenge/recognition program for Vermont businesses. This innovative program called the Vermont Business Environmental Partnership, will help small businesses demonstrate that good environmental management practices can them money, and expand markets. Through this program, businesses may also be able reduce the need for some regulatory reporting hassles and paperwork. The partnering sponsors of this program are in the process of forming a one-stop shop for environmental information and assistance and can assist participating companies in achieving cost savings, waste reduction and pollution prevention, core elements of the program's standards. The object of this initiative is to encourage businesses to operate in an environmentally friendly manner, that goes beyond compliance, using waste reduction and pollution prevention methods and to give them the good PR (recognition) they deserve. The Vermont Business Environmental Partnership has two levels of voluntary business participation. There is an entry level Environmental Partner designation and a more advanced Environmental Leader level. The Environmental Partner designation is given to businesses achieving the six, core environmental criteria and six (out of twelve) elective achievements, half of which may be satisfied by existing efforts. Two examples of achievement standards are: designating an environmental team and implementing an energy or water conservation measure. The Environmental Leader designation is given to facilities that meet the Environmental Partner achievements and also develop a comprehensive environmental management plan or system. Confidential technical assistance is available from the sponsoring organizations. Recognition incentives will vary by business sector. For example, an Environmental Leader in the hotel sector (called Green Hotel- in the Green Mountain State) will be recognized at the yearly Governor's award Ceremony for Environmental Excellence, as well as receiving a window seal and the green hotels logo (with description) on both the Vermont web page and the Vermont Travel Guides.

We do not have any estimates of the total costs incurred by this state to achieve the requirements of the Clean Air Act. I hope this is helpful for your research. Elizabeth Johnson Air Policy and Regulations Division >>> "Ralph E. Cooper" 12/10/97 05:56pm >>> Please forgive any cross postings. 1) I need to get estimates of the costs associated with the CAA. I am interested in all estimates, from the conceptual development of the CAA until now. I am interested in aggregate estimates of compliance costs, costs for specific industries and costs of specific aspects of the regulations. Any guidance as to sources, contacts, etc., will be appreciated. 2) I need to get copies of state implementation plans, including any plans submitted and amendments to the plans to get them approved, and when the plans were approved, and when any subsequent amendments to the plans were approved. I am interested in the entire time frame from origin of the Clean Air Act to now, but with less interest in the most recent amendments to the CAA. I am not particularly interested in the "market" reforms aka SOx futures auction. Ralph Ralph E. Cooper, Ph.D. J.D.

This report has already fomented a lot of (polite) discussion on the subject. As always any further comments or alternative points of view are welcome on either of these list serves. December, 1997 CMA Mischaracterizes Materials Accounting and Pollution Prevention In its report "New Jersey and Massachusetts: Toxic Use Reduction Successes? Models for National Programs?," the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) tries to prove that materials accounting data -- accounting for the flow and use of chemicals into industrial facilities and out as products and waste -- not only is unnecessary and useless, but counterproductive as well, and should not be added to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). Furthermore, CMA attempts to explain away real reductions in waste generation in Massachusetts and New Jersey, the only U.S. states that collect materials accounting data. But the analysis is badly flawed. The report abounds with factual errors (for example, CMA insists that pollution prevention planning in New Jersey began in 1990 instead of 1993). Inexplicably, CMA does not give credit to its New Jersey facility members for the ambitious pollution prevention goals they devised as part of the state's mandatory pollution prevention planning. Here are a few of the most important misstatements: Myth: Pollution prevention has not occurred in Massachusetts and New Jersey because the amount of chemical use has risen in both states. Reality: According to the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, pollution prevention is measured by a drop in waste generation. Waste generation in New Jersey and Massachusetts has dropped since 1991, while waste generation for the entire United States has gone up and is projected to rise even more. According to EPA's 1995 Toxics Release Inventory Public Data Release, waste generation "has risen annually, for a net increase from 1991 to 1995 of nearly seven percent... Facilities' projections for 1996 and 1997 show that they expect very little change in how they handle their waste in the next two years." Myth: The drop in waste generation in Massachusetts and New Jersey, especially among New Jersey industries that were required to produce pollution prevention plans, was mostly from large facilities with processes that were shut down or from facilities that closed, and therefore wasn't a real decrease. Reality: Obviously, large facilities that generate large quantities of waste will dominate waste generation numbers. However, even excluding those large facilities from the New Jersey waste generation data, there was a net decrease in waste generation among those industries required to submit prevention plans. Furthermore, the New Jersey planning law specifically forbids facilities to include processes slated for shutdown in their plans, and facilities still managed to set ambitious pollution prevention reduction goals. In Massachusetts, the Toxic Use Reduction Institute recalculated its waste generation figures using only those facilities that remained in business throughout 1990-1995, and still shows a 16 percent reduction in waste generation for those years. Both states showed increases in efficiency, with or without the facilities that closed. Myth: Since very few facilities in Massachusetts and New Jersey reported that they identified source reduction opportunities through "State Programs," and most reported that source reduction opportunities are generated internally, materials accounting and pollution prevention planning cannot be responsible for reductions in waste generation in those states. Reality: The goal of planning in Massachusetts and New Jersey is to make facilities take a close look at their materials accounting data and generate reduction opportunities internally. As the above data indicate, the two states' planning laws have succeeded in boosting this internal analysis beyond that of other states. Furthermore, an environmental consulting firm's evaluation of New Jersey's planning process -- more in-depth than the EPA data on which CMA bases its claim -- showed that 52 percent of facilities interviewed had identified some or all of their prevention reduction activities through New Jersey pollution prevention plans, and that materials accounting was key to increasing reduction goals (Hampshire Research Associates, Alexandria, VA, May 1996). Myth: Materials accounting would expand the definition of "pollution" to include production and use of TRI chemicals. Reality: Materials accounting does not redefine "pollution," but it does promote voluntary reduction of the hazards associated with the transportation, handling, storage, use, and disposal of toxic chemicals. Much of this is accomplished by increasing the efficiency of toxic chemical use. By CMA's own admission, "the relative role -- in volume terms -- of TRI chemicals in the U.S. economy is very likely to decline. Assessments [over the last three decades] indicate a marked decline in the growth of demand for industrial chemicals relative to growth in the nation's output." In other words, while the economy and the standard of living have grown, U.S. industry has increased its efficiency in using toxic chemicals. This is analogous to fitting onto a microchip computing power that once required a whole room. Promoting this trend and ensuring that it reduces hazards to human health and the environment is one of the primary goals of the Massachusetts and New Jersey pollution prevention programs. Myth: Materials accounting data do not show pollution prevention progress. Reality: Materials accounting measures chemical use efficiency, or how much of a given chemical used to make a product ends up as waste. In both Massachusetts and New Jersey, the two states that require materials accounting, the data show that industrial facilities are becoming more efficient in their use of toxic chemicals, with less of the toxic chemicals being released to the environment, burned, treated, or recycled out of the production process. This is the very essence of pollution prevention. Myth: The historical declines of toxic chemical waste and use per unit of product are driven by powerful economic and technological forces that overwhelm the effect of state programs, such as those in Massachusetts and New Jersey. Reality: One of the important drivers leading to implementation of these new technologies is materials accounting data reporting. Materials accounting and pollution prevention planning are management tools which enhance industry's knowledge about materials use and its ability to manage materials more efficiently. New technologies come about through a need to produce products more cheaply, including generating less waste. Again, promoting this trend and ensuring that it leads to reduced hazard to human health and the environment is an important goal of the Massachusetts and New Jersey toxics use reduction programs. =========================================================== Tom Natan Research Director National Environmental Trust 1200 18th Street, NW, Suite 500 Washington, DC 20036 202/887-8800 202/887-8880 (fax) tnatan@acpa.com From owner-p2tech Tue Dec 16 11:24:09 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by superior.great-lakes.net (8.8.7/8.8.7) id LAA02131 for p2tech-outgoing; Tue, 16 Dec 1997 11:23:34 -0500 (EST) X-Authentication-Warning: superior.great-lakes.net: majordom set sender to owner-p2tech@great-lakes.net using -f Message-Id: <3.0.1.32.19971216112806.00845460@pop.ma.ultranet.com> X-Sender: clarkjan@pop.ma.ultranet.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.1 (32) Date: Tue, 16 Dec 1997 11:28:06 -0500 To: p2tech@great-lakes.net From: Janet Clark Subject: positions available Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-p2tech@great-lakes.net Precedence: bulk Reply-To: p2tech@great-lakes.net List-Name: P2Tech Status: RO > >The Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Institute, located at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, has three key positions available: Application deadline is Dec 23, 1997.

Besides the materials accounting article, in an Oct. 13 letter to Chemical and Engineering News, they cite three companies that had plant closings, and state that they account for 116 million pounds of toxics use. A closer examination shows that even adjusting for the three plant closings, MA has had substantial progress in both use and waste reduction. We have had economic growth in the state. Our unemployment is way down, our tax receipts are way up, and our shipments from all SIC codes covered under the act are substantially higher. Form R activity indices show a 15% increase in production. In 1990 we had 876 million pounds of use. A 15% increase in production should have resulted in 1 billion 6 million pounds of use. Instead, we had total usage of 805 million. There's 201 million pounds missing. Clearly, the 116 million from plant closings cannot account for the entire reduction. In addition, although the Novacor Leominster plant eliminated tens of millions of pounds by closing, the Novacor Springfield plant picked up production considerably. It appears that production may have been shifted to another location - that is not really a plant closing. Correcting for this results in 73 million pounds from plant closings, not 116. What we're left with is either 128 million pounds or 85 million pounds apparently due to TOXICS USE REDUCTION. Compared to 1990 figures, this is either a 14.6% or a 9.7% reduction in use. Compared to the expected toxics use from increased production, it is either a 12.7% or an 8.4% reduction. Any way you look at it, it is a significant reduction. Taking out the waste byproduct from these plant closings affects our waste reductions hardly at all. From our actual reduction of 21 we have to subtract about 3 million due to plant closings. We would have expected to have 124 million pounds in 1995, compared to 108 in 1990, and instead had 87 million pounds in 1995. Thirty four million pounds reduced is 31.5% of 1990 figures, 27.4% of 1995's expected byproduct generation. This can be compared with the national trend of increased waste generation, as indicated by TRI section 8. EPA's estimate is that production-related waste has increased 6.8% from 1991 to 1995. Massachusetts TURA's critics have in the past stated that Connecticut has achieved similar release reductions without a TUR program. Firstly, that sells short the achievements of CONTAP (the demise of which we are still mourning!) Secondly, it ignores the reductions in use and waste which we have had in MA. I do not know what has happened in CT concerning use and waste. Another indicator of progress in Massachusetts is apparent when you put together the use and waste figures. This gives you a rough chemical use efficiency. In 1990, 12.5% of covered chemicals used by the categories of companies covered by the act ended up as waste, what we call byproduct - whether lost to air, water, or shipped out in drum. In 1995 the ratio was 10.8%. If companies had continued to generate waste byproduct at the same rate in 1995 as they had in 1990, that same 805 million pounds of chemicals used in 1995 would have resulted in 100.6 million pounds of waste, instead of 87 million. Measuring chemical use efficiency is a way of looking at progress that does not require normalization for production. No matter what plants closed or production occurred, the chemical use efficiency measure tells you how much waste was generated relative to whatever amount of chemicals was used. It does not tell you how much you have avoided due to companies dropping below thresholds. It shows how much can be achieved even when companies cannot substitute other input materials - thirteen million pounds of use was reduced just from using the chemicals more carefully.

I say the sources were good mainly because I was supprised at how many outlets seemed willing to manage mercury. You may wish to check the archives for past info. Pa started a one year pilot program for mercury lamp recycling about 1.5 years ago (I think the hope was that mercury containing devices would be adopted under the Universal Waste Rule), designating two in-state facilities to which lamps could be sent without licensed haz waste transporters or manifests. I believe both facilities will handle other mercury containing devices. As indicated, the program has been extended into a second year so I assume there have been few problems (or the program is slowly developing). I lean toward the few problems end since the list of facilities has been expanded to 11 facilities, many out of state (Ma., O.(USA Lamp & Ballast Recycling in Cincinnati...warning, I have no knowledge specific to the facility or their compliance status), Mn., In., Wy.). The removal of transporter and manifest requirements seemed to greatly help the recycling effort. Cost-wise, recycling is expected to be less expensive than disposal cost. This doesn't fully address cost and handling issues, so here are a few other ideas. (I like to think of mercury as "scrap metal" although the formal definition doesn't fit, regulatory-wise. Haz waste regulations are somewhat more relaxed if mercury is managed as a "recyclable" or under a state program which relaxes handling procedures.) 1) Mercury info I received indicated that precious metal brokers may manage small amounts of mercury . (Mercury containing equipment may be another issue but in some ways, "contained" mercury may help insure purity, source, etc.) Most towns have a metal broker of some sort. 2) Scrap metal recyclers may be willing to manage the materials (bulk or in equipment) through their brokers. 3) Someone somewhere suggested checking with dentists/hospitals (I never explored this lead, but would be interested if anyone ever has). 4) Since we had some episodes of high school kids intentionally spilling mercury (to shut down school), our Dept. Emergency Response People advertised that they were willing to pick up bulk mercury or mercury containing equipment (not lamps) upon request. I understand around 1000 pounds of mercury was collected from a relatively small area of the state. It was eventually shipped to one of the lamp recyclers with the state picking up the tab. This was viewed as less expensive than responding to potential spills, which rapidly became big news in our area, every time someone broke a thermometer. 5) I have encouraged many facilities to combine their lamp shipments to reduce costs. This seems most effective for neighboring companies located in industrial parks. I am aware of some companies that will run a truck past several of their locations on the way to a recycler. It should be noted, perhaps under more of en energy efficiency heading, that lamp change-outs are most effective when all lamps are changed out at the same time.

In the opening paragraphs of this report it is noted that this is a preliminary result of a "continuing assessment". While the CMA effort is appreciated, we would like to correct some mis-conceptions in the report about use and byproduct reduction trends in Massachusetts. There are many factors influencing reported chemical quantities, and their "brief examination of the results of the Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Act" has failed to exclude confounding factors such as changes in levels of production. The Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA) Program has devoted considerable effort to developing, testing and implementing a coherent methodology for measuring TUR progress. That methodolgy is designed to present metrics that most accurately monitor progress in a manner that meets the goals of the law. CMA states that "plant closings have...played the dominant role in reductions of chemical use." This argument underscores the need to adjust trends for changes in production levels. Indeed, plant closings are not the only economic story in Massachusetts. There have also been plant startups, increases in production at many existing facilities, and transfers of production capacity among facilities within the state. Thus, in order to understand what chemical use and byproduct changes are attributable to toxics use reduction, we must factor out, as best we can, changes which are due to increases or decreases in production. Each year the Massachusetts TUR program collects data from all of the 500 to 700 firms that report to the state and conducts a series of analyses on this data. In 1997, the state program reported a 20% decrease in toxic chemical use and a 30% decrease in toxic chemical by-product for the period 1990 to 1995. These data cover a core set of chemicals and industries and are normalized against an economic indicator to reduce the confounding effects of fluctuations in the state economy. The indicator used for economic normalization at each facility is the activity index reported by these same facilities on the federal Toxics Release Inventory Form R. During the period 1990 to 1995 this adjustment accounts for roughly a 15% increase in aggregate state production. The idea of adjusting for changes in production to produce indicators of "relative reductions" appears to be supported by CMA and they quote the Massachusetts results of a 20% reduction in toxic chemical use and a 30% reduction in generation of toxic chemical byproduct. Yet, CMA states that plant closings have played the dominant role in reductions of chemical use in Massachusetts. The report points to data from just three facilities to account for these reductions. The logical way to test this theory is to examine only those facilities which have reported in all the years 1990 to 1995. This will eliminate confounding factors such as plant closings as well as new plant startups where reported production ratios may not accurately account for changes in production. However, this method will understate TUR progress by excluding from the analysis all those facilities which have fallen below threshold by successfully implementing TUR. This consistent set of facilities from 1990 to 1995 reports a 20% increase in production, which is actually 5% higher than the level of economic performance for the conventional universe. Adjusting actual changes for the 20% increase in production reveals a 12% reduction in toxic chemical use and a 29% reduction in byproduct generation from 1990 to 1995. Therefore, looking at Massachusetts TURA filers in a way which we know understates progress but factors out all plant closings and plant start-ups, we still see significant reductions in toxic chemical use and the generation of toxic chemical byproducts. We urge that in future reports the CMA try, as we have, to normalize data in a way that most accurately accounts for the changes in chemical use and by-product and does not confuse changes in economic factors with changes in TUR performance.

Should penetration of the protein lipid layer of the cow's skin (hide) occur, then there would be an initial tissue irritation, however, the minute amount of formaldehyde that might enter the cow's bloodstream from the urea formaldehyde matrix would quickly be oxidized to the acid form so as to increase the water solubility of the formaldehyde and hence it's ultimate speedy removal from the cow through urine excretion as the sodium salt of the formic acid. Potential residual concentrations of formaldehyde in the milk would not be expected since the main excretory route of the metabolite would be through the urine.

Urea (which is very similar in structure to formaldehyde) is a solid. But, if it reacted with something in the environment to form some sort of salt--and urea is a fairly reactive compound--then the urea salt could be absorbed through the cows' skin. Formaldehyde is a gas at room temperature. Even if it is complexed somehow to another compound, as Mark implied in his message, a certain amount will volatilize over time. Once it's in the air, the cows will breathe it and it will be absorbed through their lungs. Of course, the amount that is volatizing may be *very* small, in which case it isn't a concern. The cabinet maker might be able to answer this question. If urea formaldehyde is something they buy, not the result of a chemical reaction that occurs during processing, there should be warnings on the containers if it is a an inhalant hazard. Of course, neither the manufacturer or OSHA expect anyone to sleep with the stuff. It would probably be a good idea to call the company that makes the urea formaldehyde for the cabinet maker and find out what it's what it reacts with and what it forms when it reacts. Of course, if they get wind of what you're doing, they might start worrying about liability and tell you to stop doing it. If it is some sort of formaldehyde-urea complex, find out at what rate the formaldehyde is dissociating from the complex and if it would pose any sort of hazard to a person or animal exposed to it for 8-12 hours a day. (Keep in mind that any sort of warning that has to do with people may not apply to full grown cows. Cows are about 5 times the size of a person and a lot chemical exposure limits are based on body weight. Of course, there is still the farmer to worry about, any any calves that might be exposed. Again, keep in mind that exposure limits for a growing calf would have to be lower, even based on body weight, because they're developing.) One other point. It wasn't clear from the message if the urea formaldehyde was the only chemical present in the sawdust. If there are any volatile chemicals present in the sawdust, they will evaporate into the environment, and anyone or any cow breathing the air around the sawdust will breathe in the volatile chemicals which will then be absorbed into the bloodstream through the lungs. If this is a concern, one way to get around this without having to stop using the sawdust for beding would be to leave the sawdust outside for a while to let the chemicals evaporate. Of course, the farmer might have to stir up the pile every couple of days to make sure all the residues evapaorate. This might become more work than he is willing to do even for free bedding. Well, we don't have any laywers to warn me about anything, so, take this for what it is: free advice. As we all know, ya get what ya pay for.

I am the Toxics/Hazardous Waste topic coordinator for our current project, the Global Cities Online (GCOL) project. I am in need of some help regarding the organization of our Toxics/Hazardous Waste subject matter, and was referred to this listserve. GCOL is an interactive website which contains over 5500 programs and policies that have been implemented mainly by various local governments, but also by businesses and utilities, from across the US. The policies and programs in the Toxics topic area are broken down into Subtopics and then further into Program Types (examples include Hazardous Materials Storage Regulations and Ordinances, Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Education Programs, HHW Collection Events, Toxics Soil Remediation Projects, etc. The problem I am encountering within the Toxics/Hazardous Waste topic lies in the Subtopic organization, cataegorization, and terminology. Subtopics currently include: Remediation, Safe Disposal, Safe Management, Waste Minimization, Use Reduction, Awareness/Behavior, and System-Wide Issues. One issue with Pollution Prevention is that is spans several topics, but the greatest challenge I'm finding at the moment lies in the differentiation between Waste Minimization and Use Reduction (back-end vs. front-end, one could say). I think the terminology is part of the problem (outdated?), and then while some programs and/or program types fit clearly into one or the other, others do not. I have some ideas for changes in this organizational structure, but would like some input from experts in the field. Alas, this has become my organizational dilemma - how to break down the subtopics to provide the cleanest, most useful, and most intuitive divisions, and how to include Pollution Prevention. If there is someone who has some ideas and/or experience in categorizing programs and policies related to Toxics/Hazardous Waste, and who might be interested in aiding me in this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Likewise, if you know of who may be interested in helping me out, I'd appreciate those contacts as well. I could better explain the project and the Toxics subject area, and could show you the site. I am also more than happy to send/post information about our project in general if anyone is interested -- other topics we cover include Air Quality, Energy Efficiency, Transportation, Solid Waste, Open Space, Land Use, Urban Forestry, Water Quality, Water Efficiency, and Environmental Management.

He states that each year between Thanksgiving and Christmas we Americans generate an additional 25% more trash or an additional extra million tons per week! The ULS Report offers the following yuletide tips for getting more for less....we also threw in a few of our own!: -Plan ahead. Making a list will save time, money and last-minute shopping frenzies. -Keep it simple: one thoughtful gift is better than six wrapped packages of unwanted gifts. -Consolidate shopping trips. Less driving means less wasted gas and less stress. -Call the 800 number on the back of those mail-order gift catalogs and cancel the ones you don't want. You could reduce your trash by at least 3.5 pounds if you cancel about 10 catalogs. -Combine unused "free gifts with purchase" gifts as other gifts or donate them to a shelter. -Give gifts that don't have to be wrapped like gift certificates, concert tickets, sporting event tickets or lottery tickets. -Don't wrap oversized gifts. Hide them and give the recipient clues to their location. Make the search a treasure hunt. -Make the wrapping a useful part of the gift; put cookies in a flower pot or hide jewelry in a new pair of socks or gloves. -Buy 36-exposure film rather than 12- or 24-exposure to reduce the amount of packaging and film comtainers. -Give rechargable batteries and chargers with gifts marked "batteries not included" -Reuse the christmas tree as habitat for birds in the back yard during the winter months. Hang feeders or suet balls on it. Mulch the tree in the Spring afterwards. I'm sure there are many other yuletide tips that others could suggest!

I would like to share it with our Michigan DEQ staff Carrie -- I have seen such lists, but don't recall where; I am certain that someone more resourceful will come through for you. In the mean time, feel free to share the P2 version of "The Night Before Christmas" that I subjected this list to last year. I'd like to say that I've reposted it in response to popular demand. Alas, that's not the case -- I just thought that as long as we are in the Holiday re-run season, I should keep up with the times..... Regards (and Happy Holidays), Scott Butner rs_butner@pnl.gov Twas the Night Before Christmas by Scott Butner, Battelle Seattle Research Center (with sincere apologies to Clement Clarke Moore) Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the plant nary a creature was stirring, not even an ant. The permits were hung in the control room with care in case an inspector was lurking somewhere The directors were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of profits danced in their heads. But waste costs had risen so much the last year, the profits were slipping and a pink slip I fear'd The fumes and the vapors, the sludge and the toxins; the myriad waste drums on the loading docks, and the fines, the insurance, the public reaction were all cutting in on the profitable action Then out in the tank farm there arose such a clatter I sprang from my desk to see what's the matter. I called the plant manager, fearing a leak then ran to the monitors, to take a peek I looked for the source of the hassle and noise, but all I could spy were the maintenance boys. When what to my wondering eye should appear but a P2 consultant and eight tiny reindeer. A seasoned New Englander, so lively and quick I knew in a moment it must be Pojasek More rapid than eagles, the acronyms flew He knew all the regs, save one or two Now RCRA, Now OSHA, Now EMAS and ISO on SARA and CERCLA! P2 planning and TRI, so To the top of the boiler! To the top of the stack! Cut back those emissions there's no turning back! He said not to worry, he said not to fret "Though things may look bad, they're not over yet You can stop pollution, and still make a buck Part of it's skill, and part of it's luck" "We've got to try new things," he said without blinking "Like Design for Environment and lifecycle thinking! Zero emissions and Industrial Ecology" (He could say things like that, without apology) His eyes -- how they twinkled! He broke into laughs! As he showed us his flip charts and overhead graphs He ran through the plant suggesting fixes "to start with," he said, "consider new product mixes." The stump of a pipe he held in his fist "I looked at your parts washer and here's the gist: You wouldn't need solvent, so foul, so smelly If you'd stop packing parts in petroleum jelly." HVLP and countercurrent rinsing high tech solutions and low-tech penny pinching New paints and new coatings, and closed-circuit cooling Full cost accounting and TQM-tooling Terpene solutions and recycled containers "It won't be easy but I don't want no complainers!" Buying recycled, and waste exchanges these are just some of the possible changes! And finally he sped off, another customer was calling but already I could see my waste costs were falling. My emissions were halved, my permits were moot and we'd just gotten done with the low hanging fruit! So he sprang to his car (a big 'ol Range Rover) and said "I' must be leaving, my work here is over." But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight Happy P2 to all, and to all a good night!

Start the fire with the flue open, then slowly close it as much as possible without cutting off the draft. Adding glass doors will further improve efficiency. o If you use a Christmas tree, consider a potted tree to decorate and plant in your yard later, or buy an artificial ? and reusable ? tree. If you do buy a cut tree, however, make sure it can be mulched afterward so it will not end up in a landfill. o Get outdoor light strands that are wired in parallel. These have separate circuitry so that if one bulb blows out, the rest will keep shining; all you have to do is replace the bulb. o Save the bulb boxes and repack after you take the tree down. This will eliminate your throwing away tangles of lights next year, and your having to purchase new ones yet again. o Make decorations out of natural materials: i.e. wreaths made out of red and green chilies, grapevine wreaths decorated with dried flowers, herb wreaths, etc. o Make homemade tree ornaments out of things you already have around the house. o For formal occasions, consider renting seldom-worn party clothes or buying them from consignment shops. o Donate unwanted gifts to charity. o Donate those cosmetic ?free gifts with purchase? to a woman?s shelter. o Reduce the number of cards you send by calling or sending an E-mail message, particularly to casual business and personal acquaintances. o Consider sending holiday postcards to save on postage, paper, and envelopes. o Bring your own camera instead of using disposable cameras to capture holiday memories. o Buy ?faster? speed film such as 400 or 800, reducing use of the flash and battery life. o Reuse old video tapes instead of buying new ones. o Walk to neighborhood parties or carpool with friends if it?s too far to walk. o For gifts that require batteries, consider having rechargeable ones on hand. o Shop from home - either electronically or through catalogs. o Consolidate your trips to the store to save on fuel. o Only run your dishwasher when it?s full and use the lowest possible temperature setting. o Plan meals wisely, and practice portion control so that leftovers don?t go to waste. o Buy fresh foods carefully, not just because they?re cheap, like celery. Research shows that cheaper fresh foods are wasted at a higher rate than more expensive ones. o Prepare food in quantities to minimize oven use. o Compost your food waste. o Donate extra food to food banks.

I believe several studies have been done by the state of Flordia looking into P2 in the phosphate mining industry. If you ever need to identify the major users of a given mineral, find yourself a copy of "Mineral Facts and Figures" published by the U.S. Bureau of Mines. It presents a quite detailed break-down of how much of a given mineral is produced in the world and which SIC codes are the major consumers. It was last published in 1985 and its criminal that this group/document is no longer around. There are other USGS reports that present similar data but they are either for one given mineral or a given country. The Mineral F&F document was a world-wide accounting balance for the entire mineral industry.

If it's the fuel, then switching to natural gas or an electric furnace would eliminate the SOx. If its your feed material, then you can either purchase a cleaner feed material, pretreat the feed to reduce sulfur, or scrub out the SOx after firing. All of these options depend on many site specifics. We typically perform an engineering study to first identify as many options as possible for a given problem. We next identify the fatal flaws which allows us to focus on a few viable options. After costing out these options, you can determine the $/ton effectiveness. We also perform a weighted sums rating of technical and regulatory merit which defines a $/unit of performance value. This allows one to account for intangibles in the economic assessment. Such a study can range from $20K to $100K or more depending on the complexity of the problem. The installed system cost can range from $100K to several millions. For a small facility with limited budget, they often can afford no more than a quick and cheap fix. Unfortunately, such a thing seldom exists.

Sawdust from soft woods is not, in addition to sawdust from non-virgin (composite) types of wood waste (particle board, veneered wood, plywood, etc.) or preserved woods. This issue has created some differences between Department environmental programs on management of non-virgin wood waste. (PLEASE NOTE: WHEN I SAY "NON-VIRGIN" I'M NOT INCLUDING PRESERVED WOOD WASTE CHEMICALLY TREATED WITH CREOSOTE, CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS, ETC.) Solid Waste folks tends to be more liberal with lumping virgin and non-virgin wood wastes together for most re-use options. One catch is that the composite woods should be in relatively small proportions to virgin wood. Air Quality does not like to see composite woods burned but will okay virgin wood fired boilers. Water Quality folk seem to get involved only if composite woods are re-used in settings with exposure to the environment and sampling shows leaching of chemical constituents. Also note: Farmers use spent animal bedding as a soil conditioner/fertilizer...i.e. it ends up in the fields for growing crops. Even if the cows do or don't pick up contaminants, some crops might, or they may end up in ground water.

After the holiday season, a potted, living tree can be planted outdoors, in public parks, along public bike ways, or can enhance interior decor year round. After the holidays, be sure to acclimate the tree before planting outdoors. Holiday season soon arrives. Remember to purchase holiday cards and giftwrap that is both recycled and recyclable. Americans can save 1.8 billion dollars and 11.5 billion Kwh of energy yearly, if all paper products used are 50% or more recycled content. In lieu of sending out invitations and flyers for work-related holiday (or other) celebrations, create the invitation in cc:mail and send electronically. As you create the mailing list for invitees, take note of those staff not on cc:mail and send them a hard copy invitation. Some of the independent mail services in the area accept used foam packing and styrofoam peanuts from the public. Instead of throwing foam packaging from holiday gifts into the landfill, drop it off at one of these mail centers: Allied Services, The Drop Off, or Mail Boxes Etc.

You can sign up for a free supscription at their site http://www.pollutiononline.com ========================================================= Pollution Online Newsletter by Paul Hersch Volume 1, Issue 1 Mon Dec 22 10:59:28 1997 ========================================================= The defining event during the period covered by this--Pollution Online’s (http://www.pollutiononline.com) inaugural--newsletter was COP3, staged in Kyoto during the first 11 days of December. Those of you regularly visiting Pollution Online’s news sectio n (http://news.pollutiononline.com/) during this period followed the course of this, perhaps historic, Global Warming Conference--recognized by most observers as holding considerable implications for the world’s and the pollution-control industry’s econom ic health. To learn about or review some of the more important conference aspects, select from the conference stories below. Other standout stories appearing on Pollution Online cover legal precedents, concern about contamination by a substance that is making U.S. air cleaner but U.S. groundwater undrinkable--plus several cleanup stories that provide insight into the U.S. EPA’s new-found flexibility. The full texts of these and the other stories listed below are simply a click away. They represent but a small sample of meaningful news articles available to you everyday through Pollution Online. Pollution Online also regularly adds to its Product Show case listing. Among those making the listing since December 1 are treatment systems from Purac and Waterlink. You are invited to become a regular visitor to Pollution Online, not only to keep abreast of industry events, but to commune with colleagues, shop for products, become part of a project, take the measure of consultant and supplier companies, and, in gener al, make Pollution Online your primary information exchange in the pollution field. Feature Articles: 1) NJ Borough May Enter Exclusive Landfill-remake Club 2) Kyoto Conference Concludes Somewhat Inconclusively 3) Trustee Bank not Liable for Cleanup 4) Gore Calls for Realism on Emission Controls 5) Gore Hints at Easing U.S. Stance 6) EU Counting on Renewables to Reduce Greenhouse Gases 7) Nuclear-waste Drop-off May Dump Dumps 8) Think Tank Ranks Nations’ Pollution-abatement Resolve 9) Kyoto Protocol to Face Tough Going 10) Water Treatment System 11) Sand Filter and Inclined Plate Settler ------------------------------------------------------- 1) NJ Borough May Enter Exclusive Landfill-remake Club The borough of Hillsdale, NJ, will attempt to mine part of its landfill site in efforts to convert it into a soccer field. The 10-acre landfill was active between 1947 and 1985. Monitoring wells surrounding the landfill have revealed no groundwater conta mination. http://news.pollutiononline.com/industry-news/19971212-572.html 2) Kyoto Conference Concludes Somewhat Inconclusively The delegates from 160 nations attending the UN climate conference in Kyoto reached agreement on action to control global warming as the conference concluded on December 11. http://news.pollutiononline.com/industry-news/19971211-562.html 3) Trustee Bank not Liable for Cleanup A federal judge for the U.S. District Court in Macon, GA, has severely limited the liability of trustees for environmental cleanups. In a November edict, the judge ruled that NationsBank is not obliged to pay to remove contaminated soil at a pesticide pl ant even though it maintained trust accounts holding an interest in the polluter. http://news.pollutiononline.com/industry-news/19971210-546.html 4) Gore Calls for Realism on Emission Controls An Associate Press dispatch on December 8 from Kyoto, Japan, described Vice-president Al Gore as defending the U.S. position on cutting back greenhouse-gas emissions, saying the U.S. will not "promise what we cannot do." http://news.pollutiononline.com/industry-news/19971209-528.html 5) Gore Hints at Easing U.S. Stance Vice-president Al Gore on December 8 in an address to delegates from 166 countries attending the 10-day Kyoto conference signaled possible concessions by the U.S. on its greenhouse-gas-emissions stance. http://news.pollutiononline.com/industry-news/19971208-522.html 6) EU Counting on Renewables to Reduce Greenhouse Gases Prior to the December international conference on global warming in Kyoto, Japan, the European Union announced a plan to double its energy output--to 12 percent by 2010--from renewables. The goal is a key part of its strategy to cut greenhouse gases. Th e new $23-billion plan will provide substantial funds and incentives for wind, solar, and other projects. http://news.pollutiononline.com/industry-news/19971208-517.html 7) Nuclear-waste Drop-off May Dump Dumps A report recently submitted to the National Conference of State Legislators by the University of Nebraska reportedly has caused officials of several states to question the need for a new generation of commercial dumps for low-level nuclear wastes. http://news.pollutiononline.com/industry-news/19971203-492.html 8) Think Tank Ranks Nations’ Pollution-abatement Resolve The Worldwatch Institute has rated the world’s industrialized nations’ resolve to cope with greenhouse-gas emissions. http://news.pollutiononline.com/industry-news/19971201-467.html 9) Kyoto Protocol to Face Tough Going The Kyoto Protocol is a start but only a start and only if it is ratified. (Ratification requires the signatures of at least 55 nations that account for at least 55 percent of 1990 carbon dioxide emissions.) Only then can it provide the foundation of an institutional framework and the accompanying mechanisms for dealing with emissions of greenhouse gases. And then it would still need agreement on "appropriate and effective" ways to deal with noncompliance. http://news.pollutiononline.com/feature-articles/19971212-48.html Feature Products: 10) Water Treatment System Purac’s Flofilter water treatment system combines flocculation, flotation and filtration in a single, pre-engineered unit. These technologies work together to treat potable, process and tertiary wastewater. Flofilter employs dissolved air flotation (DAF) clarification process which releases tiny air bubbles into the liquid. The bubble fasten themselves to the particles in the liquid, forming an air-solid aggregate that rises to the surface. http://news.pollutiononline.com/product-releases/19971219-540.html 11) Sand Filter and Inclined Plate Settler Waterlink Technologies'supersettler inclined plate settler and supersand continuous sand filter were designed for many applications, primarily the purification of raw water for drinking and processing, and purification of wastewater and industrial efflue nts. It has been applied in a variety of industries including pulp and paper, chemical, iron and steel, and mining and minerals. http://news.pollutiononline.com/product-releases/19971204-427.html

It's added to poultry and other foods (I think to aid in water retention). Also trisodium phosphate (TSP) is commonly used in the food industry as a cleaner/sanitizer. Phosphate compounds are also widely used as boiler treatment chemicals. Hope this helps.

Perhaps some of you may have some suggestions to offer. One of my colleagues in the Bureau of Water Supply Management (Safe Drinking Water Act), sent to following to me: In response to a question about where to find BMP info for business and industries at a recent EPA regions 3 & 4 joint meeting on local wellhead protection program implementation, I mentioned that state pollution prevention (P2) staff might be able to provide BMP info for businesses and industries and that in PA, we've just started talking to our P2 staff about this. Afterwards, the Ground-Water Technician from the South Carolina Rural Water Association approached me and wanted to know if I could provide her with a contact in our P2 program regarding proper BMPs for ground-water protection. I'm inquiring as to who I could direct this person to. Perhaps just a referral to an EPA contact person is all that's needed. I gather she has also spoken to the South Carolina state agency about this query as well. In case someone wants to respond directly to her, here is her name and address: Elaine H. Biber South Carolina Rural Water Association 215 Mariners Row Columbia, SC 29212 (803) 732-0666 e-mail: groundwtr@sprintmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As I interpret the term, Best Management Practices (BMP) does not specify a technical method or piece of equipment. Rather BMP is using good housekeeping, reduction in hazardous materials used in a manufacturing process, minimizing the amount of raw materials placed into a manufactured product, and other source reduction / pollution prevention concepts. Elaine and I discussed barriers that may be placed upon P2 by requiring only certain technologies. Thre may be more potential for greater wellhead protection if businesses located near wells seek innovative P2. Thank you in advance for your help. Jo Anne Hollash PA DEP - OPPCA 14th Floor RCSOB P.

I can send you hard copies of any you like. If the welding in question includes stainless steel, and they are passivating the weld in the traditional manner using nitric acid, they can look into doing the same thing with glass bead blasting. I have nothing to send you on this. I recall contacting sandblasting/bead blasting dealers and obtaining valuable information in this manner: C:\PROCITE\RLIBY 1. Rec# 190. Balmer, Kenneth B., and Martin Larter. "Chelants Prove Practical for Cleaning and Passivation of Stainless Steel Parts."

Chelant passivation uses biodegradable, less corrosive, and easier to h dle agents like citric acid.

Three sensing techniques for GMAW are being developed at the Idaho Naitonal Engineering Laboratory (INEL). These re (1) noncontracting ultrasonic sensing using a laser/EMAT (electromagnetic acoustic transducer) to detect defects in the solidified weld on a pass-by-pass basis, (2) integrated optical sensing g a CCD camera and a laser stripe to obtain cooling rate and weld bead geometry information, and (3) monitoring flucuations in digitized welding voltage data to detect the mode of metal droplet sfer and assure that the desired mass input is achieved.
