Book Description
Pollution Prevention Opportunity Assessments (P2OAs) are an important first step in any pollution prevention program. While P2OAs have been and are being conducted at Hanford, there exists no standard guidance, training, tracking, or systematic approach to identifying and addressing the most important waste streams. The purpose of this paper then is to serve as a guide to the Pollution Prevention group at Westinghouse Hanford in developing and implementing P2OAs at Hanford. By searching the literature and benchmarks other sites and agencies, the best elements from those programs can be incorporated and pitfalls more easily avoided. This search began with the 1988 document that introduces P2OAs (then called Process Waste Assessments, PWAS) by the Environmental Protection Agency. This important document presented the basic framework of P20A features which appeared in almost all later programs. Major Department of Energy programs were also examined, with particular attention to the Defense Programs P20A method of a graded approach, as presented at the Kansas City Plant. The graded approach is a system of conducting P2OAs of varying levels of detail depending on the size and importance of the waste stream. Finally, private industry programs were examined briefly. While all the benchmarked programs had excellent features, it was determined that the size and mission of Hanford precluded lifting any one program for use. Thus, a series of recommendations were made, based on the literature review, in order to begin an extensive program of P2OAs at Hanford. These recommendations are in the areas of: facility Pollution Prevention teams, P20A scope and methodology, guidance documents, training for facilities (and management), technical and informational support, tracking and measuring success, and incentives.
Regulatory Toxicology, Second Edition

Book Description
This practical resource provides toxicologists and scientists with essential information on the regulations that govern their jobs and products. Regulatory Toxicology also covers the scientific and historical underpinnings of those regulations. Each chapter provides a grounding in the historical events that led to the development of original legislation and major subsequent changes in legislation. The major administrative divisions for regulatory agencies and their main missions and responsibilities are also detailed, as are the basic filing units or documents the agencies require of individuals to meet goals. This second edition is updated to reflect new developments in the field.

Pollution Prevention Opportunity Assessment Protocol

Pages : 73
Book Description
The purpose of this protocol is to provide guidelines for conducting a pollution prevention opportunity assessment (P2OA) and developing a P2 Plan at Department of the Army installations. Prior to the passage of the 1990 Pollution Prevention (P2) Act (Reference 1, Appendix A), protection of the environment was accomplished through 'end-of-pipe' control techniques. While these activities effectively controlled pollution at the point of release, they did not prevent the pollution from ultimately entering the environment. For example, while air pollution control devices removed harmful pollutants from exhaust gases discharged to the atmosphere, they typically collected these pollutants as a solid which was then disposed of via landfill. Thus, while the avenue of introduction was changed, the pollution ultimately was placed back into the environment.
