-------
SUMMARY
EPA's 33/50 Program is a year old, and one year closer to its goals of
reducing toxic chemical pollution through voluntary, direct action by industry.
Company participation in the 33/50 Program has increased more than three-fold
since the issuance of the Program's first Progress Report in July of 1991. As of
February 1992, 734 companies had written to EPA expressing commitments to
reduce voluntarily their releases and transfers of toxic chemicals, up from 236
company commitments in July. The actual reductions pledged by these
companies also has risen significantly during the past six months, from 201 million
pounds in July to 304 million pounds in February.
The 33/50 Program seeks to reduce the generation of high-priority industrial
toxic wastes by 50% by 1995, with an interim goal of a 33% reduction by 1992.
Marking its first anniversary, this report examines progress in achieving the
Program's ambitious goals and reviews the activities conducted over the past
year to bring about this progress. In addition, the report provides an overview of
the universe of toxic chemical releases and transfers addressed by the 33/50
Program. And finally, anniversaries also offer a time for looking forward, to assess
the challenges and potential pitfalls ahead in forging a voluntary pollution
prevention partnership among governments at all levels, communities, and
industries.

THE 33/50 PROGRAM: A ONE-YEAR PROGRESS REPORT
REDUCING TOXIC RISKS THROUGH VOLUNTARY DIRECT ACTION
THE 33/50 PROGRAM
EPA's 33/50 Program is a year old one year closer to its goals for reducing toxic
chemical pollution through voluntary, direct action by industry. The 33/50 Program seeks
to reduce the generation of 17 high-priority industrial toxic wastes by 50% by 1995, with an
interim goal of a 33% reduction by 1992. The Program was formally announced in February
1991, and the first 33/50 Progress Report was released in July 1991. This report examines the
progress of the 33/50 Program at its first anniversary, and looks ahead to the progress
and potential pitfalls of the next few years.
GOALS AND APPROACH
The 33/50 Program is an ambitious EPA initiative designed to reduce toxic waste
generation from industrial sources quickly and with an unprecedented degree of flexibility.
Industry participation in the 33/50 Program is voluntary, the Program aims to demonstrate
that voluntary reduction programs can augment the Agency's traditional regulatory
approach by achieving targeted reductions more quickly than would regulations alone.
The 33/50 Program derives its name
from the overall goals an interim goal of a
33% reduction by 1992 with an ultimate goal
of a 50% reduction by 1995 in environmental
releases and off-site transfers of 17 high-
priority toxic chemicals, using 1988 as a
baseline year. In 1988, almost 6,000
companies reported to the Toxic Release
Inventory (TRI) that 1.4 billion pounds of the
33/50 chemicals were either released to the
environment or transferred off-site to waste
management facilities. The aim of the 33/50
Program is to reduce this 1.4 billion pounds of
wastes by at least 50%, or 700 million pounds,
by 1995.
The 33/50 Program is part of a broad
EPA thrust to encourage pollution prevention
as the best means of reducing risk to human
health and the environment. Pollution
prevention moves the focus on toxic
Industry Embracing Voluntary
Reduction Goals
The 33/50 Program's challenge to
American industry to voluntarily reduce
toxic chemical releases is being
embraced by a wide spectrum of
companies, ranging from Fortune 500
firms such as AT&T and Du Pont to small
and midsized companies like Magee
Carpet of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania and
Ultra Forge of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. For
a description of the reduction programs
being implemented by these and other
companies, see "33/50 Activities - What
Industry Is Doing." A complete list of all

chemicals upstream, away from managing wastes after they have been generated,
towards an approach that avoids the generation of wastes wherever possible through
toxics use reduction, equipment and process changes, improved handling and
operations, and so on. Although the goal of EPA's 33/50 Program is expressed as a 50%
reduction in TRI environmental releases and transfers by 1995, a goal chosen to allow for
progress to be measured with readily available data, the central theme of the program is
to promote continuous environmental improvement through pollution prevention.
Therefore, EPA urges companies to use pollution prevention as the preferred means of
achieving their reductions. Moreover, EPA hopes that by emphasizing pollution
prevention, companies will instill a new management ethic that will achieve even greater
environmental benefits, expanding their reduction efforts beyond the chemicals, targets,
and time frames established for the 33/50 Program.
The goal of the 33/50 Program includes the reduction of both direct releases to the
environment (1,134 million pounds) and off-site transfers of waste materials to sewage
treatment plants or commercial waste management facilities (297 million pounds). While it
is important to understand the difference between direct releases to the environment and
off-site transfers of wastes, both are included in our measures of progress because the
central theme of the 33/50 Program is to promote pollution prevention. Thus, EPA has
included all waste materials, regardless of whether they are released or transferred, to
encourage industry to consider all waste generation when reviewing their pollution
prevention options.
33/50 AND THE TOXICS RELEASE INVENTORY
The chemicals included in the 33/50 Program are 17 high-priority toxic chemicals
that are among the more than 320 chemicals reported annually to the Toxics Release
Inventory (TRI). These chemicals were selected for
attention by the 33/50 Program not only because of toxicity
concerns, but because they are all commonly used in high
volumes by industry, and they all have high potential for
reduction through pollution prevention.
In 1988, the baseline year for the 33/50 Program,
these 17 chemicals accounted for 22% of the total
quantities reported to TRI (1.4 out of 6.4 billion pounds).
Another reason for targeting these particular chemicals in
the 33/50 Program is that they are handled by a significant
portion of the facilities required to report under TRI. More
than 12,000 facilities associated with almost 6,000
companies reported releasing and/or transferring one or
more of the 33/50 chemicals in 1988. This represents 57% of
the more than 21,000 TRI facilities that reported in 1988.

Pollution prevention benefits resulting from the Program could potentially extend to
a substantial portion of the entire TRI universe, since companies are encouraged to
consider reduction commitments beyond the goals of the 33/50 Program.
IMPLEMENTING THE 33/50 PROGRAM: EPA'S APPROACH
To achieve 33/50's goals, EPA developed a program consisting of four major
elements: outreach to companies to encourage commitments; public recognition of
companies for their commitments, pollution prevention efforts, and achievements;
technical assistance to help companies overcome barriers and achieve commitments
through pollution prevention practices; and evaluation of the effectiveness of both
industry and government efforts in a voluntary- cooperative program.
Outreach: Perhaps the major challenge for the 33/50 Program is reaching out to
the thousands of companies and over ten thousand facilities that can play a role in
reducing toxic wastes. Letters to the heads of companies can be effective, but they are
also easily overlooked by busy corporate executives with many priorities. There is also
history and culture to contend with. The 33/50 Program is building a new type of
relationship between government, communities and industry. Many companies, used to
dealing with EPA or the public only in an adversarial relationship, are hesitant to embrace
an EPA-sponsored voluntary program, no matter how sensible it might seem on paper. In
order to make the most of our communications, EPA employed the following strategy:
-3-
-------
A first round of intensive contacts with the "Top 600"' companies. This entailed not
only letters from the Administrator to company heads, but a series of about a dozen
meetings with top executives from different industrial manufacturing sectors: chemicals;
transportation related; machinery and electrical equipment; iron, steel, and primary
metals; pulp and paper; petroleum refining; Pharmaceuticals; wood and metal furniture;
rubber and. related products; and metal finishings and coatings. Trade associations, such
as the Chemical Manufacturers Association, were instrumental in helping arrange these
sessions. Program communications with individual company managers have also
occurred through meetings with EPA Regional Administrators and staff and regional
workshops with State program participation. Face to face contacts were invaluable in
identifying issues, addressing questions, and providing assurances as to how the Program
would and would not operate.
A second round of contacts involved not only letters to the heads of thousands of
additional companies, but many direct meetings between EPA's Regional Offices and
industries within their States. As many as a thousand additional companies will be
contacted as new companies report to TRI for the first time, or as corporate affiliations
change through sales, purchases, restructuring, and the like.
Continuing our outreach efforts, 33/50 Program staff have addressed conferences,
provided information to the press, written articles, and circulated information about the
Program wherever opportunities presented themselves. In this way, we can reach not only
industry, but environmental groups, community organizations, organized labor, and the
general public. The 33/50 Program is also independently reported on in the annual
National Report released by the TRI Program. In addition, EPA routinely contacts
companies that have not yet joined 33/50 to make certain they are aware of the Program,
and to solicit their participation.
Public Recognition: EPA's release in 1989 of the first year of TRI data greatly
increased public awareness about toxic pollution and industrial awareness of the depth of
community concern about toxic wastes. The 33/50 Program provides industry a means of
having its progress towards pollution prevention recognized through a formal EPA program
that receives broad public attention. At the same time, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the commitment information submitted to 33/50 provides
the public with access to information beyond that
supplied in TRI reports.

In order to foster public awareness of industry's
reduction efforts, the 33/50 Program publicizes company
participation through Program publications, press releases,
and in speeches and other routine federal and State
communications. Companies submitting reduction
commitments receive a formal certificate of participation call/ visit'or writ@i
from EPA. This year's Administrator's Awards Program,

highlighting outstanding achievements in pollution prevention, is being coordinated with
the 33/50 Program. Next year, 33/50 envisions having its own awards program to
recognize company efforts in reducing wastes, including those that go beyond the goals
set by 33/50, creating effective pollution prevention programs, communicating with and
involving the public, and in other areas warranting special recognition. In addition, we are
developing a compilation of 33/50 Company Progress Reports which will highlight effective
company approaches to identifying pollution prevention opportunities and follow them
through implementation.
Technical Assistance and Technology Transfer. The 33/50 Program is working closely
with EPA's Office of Research and Development to help companies implement pollution
prevention through information collection, coordination, and exchange. To date, there
are five components to the 33/50 Program's technology assistance and transfer efforts:
1) The 33/50 Program is conducting a series of workshops across the country with
industry to exchange information on pollution prevention theory and practices
to aid in achieving reductions of the 17 chemicals.
2) EPA is expanding its Pollution Prevention Information Exchange System, a free
computer bulletin board associated with EPA's Pollution Prevention Information
Clearinghouse. The Bulletin Board and Clearinghouse contain technical, policy,
programmatic, legislative, and financial information on pollution prevention, in
general, and the 33/50 Program, in particular.
3) EPA is preparing a series of bibliographic reports on pollution prevention and
recycling techniques applicable to the major industries which release the 17
targeted chemicals.
4) EPA is publishing an expanded pollution prevention resource guide. Pollution
Prevention Resources and Training Opportunities in 1992, which identifies key
pollution prevention documents, industry specific guidance manuals, fact
sheets, and videos. The guide also identifies federal, state, university, and other
pollution prevention programs across the country. For example, the guide
contains a complete listing of State programs that offer technical assistance on
pollution prevention and waste minimization to businesses and industry.
5) EPA is identifying areas where new research efforts could lead to beneficial and
readily transferable pollution prevention alternatives. As part of this effort, EPA
will identify successful and innovative pollution prevention practices companies
have implemented as part of the 33/50 Program and then share this information
with other companies and other interested parties.
Program Evaluation: How well is the 33/50 Program working? Are reductions being
achieved through pollution prevention? Do EPA regulatory programs or other barriers
inhibit companies from making voluntary reduction commitments? Would reductions
occur anyway without 33/50? These are important questions that need to be answered in
order to determine ffthe 33/50 approach works, why it is working, and whaf it is
-5-
-------
accomplishing. We are examining potential regulatory obstacles to pollution prevention in
order to identify areas where EPA can remove obstacles without undercutting statutory
mandates or environmental progress. Detailed company progress reports, prepared as
part of program outreach, are focussing on incentives and obstacles to pollution
prevention; they will allow independent validation of pollution prevention successes. A
particular concern is documenting the extent to which reductions come about through
true pollution prevention measures. As a result of passage of the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990, newTRI information on pollution prevention practices and the impact they are
having will become available to EPA and to the public. Some companies are also
providing additional information in their progress reports to the 33/50 Program. This
information will provide invaluable insights towards evaluating the effectiveness of the
Program.
33/50 AND OTHER FEDERAL, STATE, AND INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS
The 33/50 Program is only one of the many pollution prevention activities underway
at EPA, in the States, and elsewhere. Our activities are coordinated closely with other
programs, wherever possible, so that there is a maximum impact with a minimum of
overlap. Some of the cooperative efforts are described in the following paragraphs.
Other EPA Pollution Prevention Programs: Recent reorganizations at EPA have
brought the 33/50 Program and the Pollution Prevention Division institutionally closer as a
means of coordinating activities. EPA's new Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics
provides a central location for the Agency's pollution prevention activities. The 33/50
Program is becoming a key source of information for the Pollution Prevention Information
Clearinghouse. We work closely with the early reductions program established by the
Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 to coordinate efforts to reduce industrial discharges of
toxic chemicals prior to legislatively mandated schedules. The 33/50 Program is being
looked to as a possible model as the Agency conducts a broad review of major regulatory
activities, with the aim of further promoting pollution prevention. For example, the
voluntary, direct action approach is proving successful not only in 33/50, but in EPA's
energy conservation/pollution prevention initiative. The Green Lights Program.
Other Federal Programs: 33/50 also is being considered as a potential model for a
broad Federal Sector initiative, focussing on federal government facilities as generators of
toxic releases. It would build on existing pollution prevention activities by setting ambitious
reduction targets and creating a formal tracking system to measure progress. A large
number of the Government Owned Contractor Operated facilities of the Department of
Defense and the Department of Energy are operated by companies already committed
to 33/50. We will continue our discussions with these Departments in order to make
maximum use of the 33/50 approach for these facilities as well as Government Owned and
Operated facilities.
EPA Regional Programs: EPA's Regional Offices play an important role in
communicating Program goals to industry, States, and the community. Major activities
include seeking company participation through individual company contacts and
participation in regional and state meetings, and coordinating the implementation of the
-6-
-------
Program with State pollution prevention and toxic use reduction initiatives. Through these
activities, EPA seeks to minimize the potential for conflict with State programs and to
develop cooperative efforts with industry. States, and the community.
EPA Region VII, with the participation of Region V, has taken a very innovative
approach to the 33/60 Program. Working with the TRI list of the top 100 counties nationally
for releases and transfers of the targeted 33/50 chemicals, Region VII selected the five
counties and three metropolitan areas in Its region that ranked highest (see Map A). By
the end of 1991, the Regions, in cooperation with State agency and department officials,
met with business and civic leaders and company representatives in each of these
counties and metropolitan areas to encourage voluntary, community-wide reduction
goals for all reported TRI chemical releases and transfers, They asked these communities
for a separate focus on the 17 targeted 33/50 chemicals. A key distinction from the
national 33/50 Program is that the geographic-oriented program targets groups of facilities
in selected areas, as opposed to parent companies.
Through this effort in Region VII, a group of representatives from 26 companies and
McConnell Air Force Base has announced its plan to reduce Sedgwick County TRI wastes
by more than 90% by 1995. This is a reduction of 142 million pounds compared to the 1988
total of 151 million pounds in the county. The group also plans to reduce all TRI wastes by
31% (47 million pounds) by 1992. Other community-wide meetings have resulted in the
formation of groups or steering committees to obtain similar commitments to achieve the
33/50 Program goals.

States: Pollution prevention has been a priority in many States for some time. The
33/50 Program has been a direct benefactor and is building onto the foundation
established by these State initiatives. Many States have taken a strong interest in the 33/50
Program and are using it to their advantage to foster pollution prevention. States like
California, Florida, Maryland, and North Carolina have written to companies encouraging
participation in the Program. Other States such as Louisiana and New York are tracking
reductions in the 33/50 Program chemicals as part of their State Toxics Programs. New York
has already reported a sizable reduction, from 69 million pounds in 1988 to 36 million
pounds in 1990, which will no doubt increase as the 33/50 Program builds momentum.
Yet other States like Colorado, Delaware, and Minnesota have their own voluntary
reduction initiatives either in process or in place. For instance, Minnesota has launched
the Minnesota 50 Project which sets a statewide 50% reduction goal for 1995 for the same
chemicals included in 33/50. Minnesota 50 will reach many individual facilities in the State
that would not otherwise be contacted by EPA, thus expanding the scope and potential
impact of the voluntary reductions approach.
Several States (such as Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Rhode
Island) are holding pollution prevention and technical assistance conferences that include
discussions of 33/50 and disseminate information about the technologies that can be
applied to reduce or eliminate the use of 33/50 and other hazardous chemicals. Activities
such as the Northeast Waste Management Officials Association's distribution of a brochure
describing the 33/50 Program and the technical assistance available in New England
States also aid the 33/50 Program. Overall, Federal/State partnerships are forming to foster
source reduction not only for the 33/50 chemicals, but for other hazardous chemicals as
well, promoting a pollution prevention ethic within the respective States.
International: The 33/50 Program is seen as a possible model for voluntary reduction
efforts in the international arena. EPA has been working with Environment Canada, the
International Joint Commission, and others on a Pollution Prevention Initiative for the Great
Lakes that incorporates 33/50 goals for reducing toxic discharges to these international
waterways. Pollution prevention initiatives have been included in the Mexico-United States
Plan to protect the border environment. For example, American corporations will be
encouraged to make commitments to the Program for their facilities across the border.

INDUSTRY'S PARTICIPATION IN THE 33/50 PROGRAM
Nearly 6,000 companies operating more than 12,000 facilities nationwide
submitted TRI reports to EPA for the year 1988 on one or more of the 33/50 chemicals. This
is more than half of all facilities that reported to TRI. All told, these companies reported 1.4
billion pounds of releases and transfers of the seventeen chemicals in 1988, the baseline
year for the 33/50 Program. All 5,747 companies have been invited to participate in the
33/50 Program (see Table 1).
The bulk of releases and transfersof these chemicals reported to TRI came from
relatively few companies. Five hundred and fifty-five of the 5,747 companies accounted
for more than three quarters (1.1 billion pounds) of the total for the 33/50 chemicals. This
group of companies (often referred to as the "Top 600" companies) were sent letters by
EPA in February 1991 inviting them to join the 33/50 Program. As reported in the first
Progress Report, more than one-third (236 companies) had responded with a commitment
to the program by July 1991. Since then 39 more of these companies have joined the

Program. To date, almost half of the "Top 600' 275 companies have voluntarily
submitted reduction commitments to the 33/50 Program. These 275 companies represent
45% (640 million out of 1.4 billion pounds) of the wastes targeted by the 33/50 Program for
reductions.
In July 1991, EPA sent letters to the remaining 5,192 companies that reported use of
33/50 chemicals to TRI in 1988, asking them to respond by November 1991. Of this second
group of companies, 459 have thus far committed to participating in 33/50, accounting for
an additional 104 million of the 1.4 billion pounds of 1988 33/50 releases and transfers. We
recognize that this second round of companies have had less time to consider their
participation in 33/50, and some may not have the level of resources available to many of
the larger companies. Nonetheless, their participation is crucial to the success of the 33/50
Program, not only in terms of meeting our numerical goals but, in a broader sense, for fully
promoting the pollution prevention culture throughout the industrial sector.
Across the two groups of companies, a total of 734 companies have indicated their
willingness to reduce voluntarily their releases and transfers of the 33/50 chemicals a more
than three fold increase since July (see Figure 3). All are listed in Appendix A. Together
these 734 committed companies released and/or transferred 744 million pounds of the
total 1.4 billion pounds associated with the 17 chemicals.
Of the 734 companies that have committed to the Program, 562 (77%) have
responded with readily quantifiable reduction goals: 228 of these were from the "Top 600"
and 334 from the second group. These goals lend themselves to numerical calculations of
how much of its releases and transfers a company plans to reduce by 1995. By looking at
these 562 companies with quantifiable commitments, we are able to determine the level
of commitment that has been made as of this progress report. Of the 599 million pounds of
releases and transfers of 33/50 chemicals associated with these companies, firms have
committed to a reduction of 304 million pounds by 1995 (260 million pounds from the "Top
600"; 44 million from the rest). This pledged reduction of 304 million pounds represents an
increase of 51% from the 201 million pounds commited to as of July, 1991, and 43% of the
national goal of 700 million pounds (see Figure 4). Although individual company
commitments vary considerably in amount, reduction pledges are averaging 50% per firm
(304 million pounds of pledged reductions out of the 599 million pounds of 33/50 chemical
releases and transfers reported by this group in 1988).
The 304 million pound national reduction commitment actually represents a lower
bound in assessing the 33/50 Program's progress to date. This estimate is based only on a
portion of the 734 company commitments received to date the 562 commitments that
can be quantified on a company-wide basis. Additional reductions have been pledged
by companies on a chemical-, medium-, or facility-specific basis, requiring further analysis
by EPA before their contributions toward the national goals can be accurately assessed.
Other companies that have committed to the 33/50 Program have yet to specify their
numerical goals. In some instances, these companies have indicated that they need to
analyze their industrial processes before determining the level of reduction they can
achieve.

On the other hand, a number of companies have submitted quite detailed
reduction commitments. One example is the commitment provided by LTV Steel
Company, planning an overall 80% reduction by 1995 that is broken down by individual
chemical (see Table 2). In another example, Honda of America supplied EPA with specific
details of the planning needed to achieve their reduction goals (see Table 3).
The 33/50 Program's national goal of 700 million pounds reduction by 1995 is based
upon achieving a 50% reduction in the 1.4 billion pounds of the 33/50 chemicals that were
released and/or transferred in 1988. One way to achieve this goal is for every one of the
5,747 companies to commit to the Program with a 50% reduction in their releases and
transfers. Realistically, however, some companies will choose not to participate in the
Program and of those that do, some will make commitments amounting to less than a 50%
reduction. Therefore, if the overall goal of a 700 million pound reduction is to be achieved,
many companies will need to make commitments to reducing their releases and transfers
of the 17 chemicals by greater than 50% and, indeed, some already have,
While there is much to be excited about with the level of voluntary commitment we
are seeing by companies responding to the 33/50 Program, we clearly have a long way to
go if we are to meet our national goal. EPA has planned follow-up activities involving
those companies who did not respond or who responded expressing an interest in, but not
a commitment to, the 33/50 Program.

INDUSTRY FEEDBACK ON THE 33/50 PROGRAM
Why are companies voluntarily agreeing to cut back their toxic discharges? Many
of the companies committing to 33/50 reductions have indicated their reasons for doing
so. Among the most common are:
Companies are already pursuing reduction efforts and welcome the opportunity
for formal recognition of their efforts.
33/50 goals and Total Quality Management principles correspond well to
voluntary industry efforts such as The Responsible Care Program organized by
the Chemical Manufacturers Association.
Pollution prevention deserves a higher priority both in industry and at EPA and
can best be promoted through a voluntary program such as 33/50.
Companies recognize their responsibilities as corporate citizens and welcome
the focus that 33/50 provides to reduce releases beyond regulatory
requirements.
At the same time, it is important for the success of a program such as 33/50 to
understand the reasons why companies have elected nof to participate. The reasons
most often cited by companies that have been hesitant to join 33/50 are:
-12-
-------
The vagaries of the business cycle or of company operations make predictions
about future waste generation next to impossible.
Companies are already devoting maximum possible resources to deal with
existing environmental requirements and cannot adopt additional
environmental goals.
Concern over possible conflicts between 33/50 endeavors and goals established
by other federal or state environmental programs, such as reduction goals
established under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.

-------
Constraints imposed by customers, such as military specifications for the types of
chemicals and processes required to fulfill government contracts.
Mandatory federal, state, and local permitting processes are extremely
cumbersome, and the company is unwilling to pursue permit modifications that
may be needed to implement 33/50 Program objectives.
EPA is examining these obstacles to learn where there is opportunity to make more
companies interested in participating in 33/50. As the Program has stressed from its outset,
33/50 is not intended as a substitute for EPA's regulatory programs, and the Agency
cannot relax regulatory oversight or enforcement as a means of encouraging
participation. However, 33/50 is working carefully in concert with EPA's other programs,
and with other federal agencies such as the Department of Defense, to insure maximum
coordination and flexibility.
Some companies also wrote indicating that, as a holding company, partnership, or
other financial arrangement with limited oversight of day-to-day operations or diverse
business units, they were not the appropriate entity to decide environmental policy. The
33/50 Program is in the process of redirecting requests for participation to the individual
business units at these companies.
33/50 ACTIVITIES WHAT INDUSTRY IS DOING
A number of companies that have committed to the 33/50 Program have provided
EPA with reports of their progress in meeting their reduction targets. A few of the "Top 600"
company reports are summarized below. (Note: Information is this section was taken
directly from company reports and has not been independently verified.)
AT&T (New York, New York) reports that the corporation has already achieved a
66% reduction of its 33/50 chemicals, from 6.4 million pounds of releases and
transfers in 1988, to 2.1 million in 1990. The reductions were achieved through a
combination of techniques, chiefly chemical substitutions and process
modifications, with an emphasis on pollution prevention. Some of the reductions
were also due to decreased production levels at several of the company's
plants. AT&T has set additional reduction targets for all its facilities worldwide.
These include: (a) 95% elimination of toxic chemical air emissions (of all TRI
chemicals) by 1995, striving for 100% elimination by 2000; (b) 100% phaseout of
CFC's by 1994; and (c) reducing total manufacturing process waste 25% by 1994
(see Figure 5).
BF GOODRICH (Akron, Ohio) reports a 32% reduction in 33/50 chemicals
between 1988 and 1990, and anticipates exceeding its reduction target of 50%
by 1995.

DOW CHEMICAL'S (Midland, Michigan) participation in the 33/50 Program
includes not only the seventeen 33/50 chemicals, but all 121 TRI chemicals
reported by company facilities, targeting overall reductions of 50% by 1995.
Dow has reduced overall TRI quantities from 23.2 to 16.2 million pounds from 1988
to 1990, a reduction of 30%.
DU PONT (Wilmington, Delaware) has created an internal corporate data base
to manage information from 80 facilities in order to track progress towards its
33/50 goal of 50% reduction by 1995, as well as several other corporate goals:
60% reduction of air toxics from 1987 to 1993; 90% reduction of carcinogenic air
emissions by 2000; eliminate toxic discharges to land by 2000. Between 1988 and
1990, Du Pont has reduced TRI totals of the 33/50 chemicals from 20,2 to 17.7
million pounds, a reduction of 12%.
ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS (Glenview, Illinois), which operates 130 facilities in 20 states,
has reduced its use of 33/50 chemicals by 33% between 1988 and 1990, with a
consequent reduction in waste generation,
REPUBLIC ENGINEERED STEELS (Massillon, Ohio) provided technical update
information on its activities, including: installation of steam cleaning equipment
to replace the use of trichloroethane, thus eliminating 40,000 pounds of releases;
modifying capture hoods and Increasing baghouse (filter) efficiencies to
-15-
-------
capture greater amounts of metallic dusts, which the company hopes to be
able to reuse; creating a task force to explore means of eliminating landfilling of
electric arc furnace slag.
These large companies are not alone in making reduction commitments and in
keeping the 33/50 Program (and the public) up to date. Among the smaller companies
that have reported on their progress are:
MAGEE CARPET (Magee Industrial Enterprises of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania) has
eliminated their use of trichloroethane, thereby eliminating 340,000 pounds of
releases of this chemical.
PINES TRAILER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (Chicago, Illinois) has achieved reductions
from 1988 to 1990 for the two 33/50 chemicals it reports: 48% reduction for
xylene, and a 37% reduction for methyl isobutyl ketone, and anticipates overall
reductions of at least 50% by 1995.
ULTRA FORGE (Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio) has been replacing its solvent-based vapor
degreasers with spray wash equipment, thereby eliminating more than 80,000
pounds of releases of trichloroethane and tetrachloroethylene; the company
anticipates total elimination of these two chemicals in 1992.

RELEASE/TRANSFER PROFILE FOR 33/50 COMMITMENT COMPANIES
At this time in the 33/50 Program's development, the information submitted to EPA
by companies participating in the Program is not detailed enough to enable us to analyze
fully the nature or impact of the reduction commitments themselves. We can determine,
as reported above, that the quantifiable commitments made by 562 companies to date
amount to a nationwide pledge of 304 million pounds of reduced toxic chemical releases
and transfers by 1995. But we are not yet in a position to determine the impacts of these
reduction commitments on a geographic-, medium-, chemical-, or industry-specific basis.
By and large, companies have set reduction goals to be achieved on a company-
wide basis, in many instances spanning operations at facilities dispersed throughout the
nation and in a variety of industrial sectors. The details of how and where these reductions
actually will be achieved are still being flushed out at the plant or production process
level. Until more companies have completed their internal reduction plans and
communicated them to EPA, further analyses of the impacts of the reduction
commitments must be put on hold.
While we cannot yet analyze the impacts of companies' reduction commitments,
we can describe the TRI release/transfer profiles of the companies which have committed
to the 33/50 Program. This section of the report presents a series of analyses comparing
the releases and offsite transfers of 33/50 chemicals by the 734 companies committing to
the 33/50 Program to the total 33/50 release/transfer universe in the 1988 baseline year.
The analyses identify the potential impacts of companies' reduction commitments.
Readers are cautioned that the reduction efforts eventually implemented by companies
may result in a distribution of release/transfer reductions that differs markedly from the
distribution of the companies' overall releases and transfers. For example, a company with
identical facilities in Oregon and Tennessee could achieve a 40% company-wide
reduction goal in a variety of ways: by reducing releases at each facility by 40%; by
reducing by 60% percent at one facility and only 20% at the other; or, achieve its
corporate goal entirely by concentrating reduction efforts to achieve an 80% reduction at
one facility, leaving releases and transfers at the other facility unchanged for the time
being. Accordingly, the release/transfer profiles presented below are not intended to
represent the reductions that will be observed in companies' future TRI reports.
As indicated in Table 1 above, facilities associated with the 734 companies making
33/50 Program commitments reported 744 million pounds of 33/50 chemical releases and
transfers in the Program's baseline year. Although the participating companies overall
account for approximately one half of the 1.4 billion pounds of 33/50 releases and transfers
in 1988, the analyses of these committed companies' releases and transfers presented
below do not reflect an even distribution from sector to sector.
-17-
-------
STATE/EPA REGIONAL DISTRIBUTIONS
The state-by-state and EPA Regional distributions of company participation in the
33/50 Program and associated releases and transfers of the seventeen 33/50 chemicals
are shown in Tables 4 and 5. The number of 33/50 companies with their headquarters
located in each state or reporting jurisdiction differs considerably, ranging from zero in
Alaska and the Virgin Islands to 498 in Illinois (see Table 4). The company participation rate
also varies ranging from a level of no participation (Montana. Nevada, New Mexico, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico) to a high
of 33% in Hawaii and 23% in both Delaware and Oregon.
The five states with the largest amounts of 33/50 releases and transfers in 1988 were
Ohio, Texas, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Michigan (see Table 5). Each accounted for over
85 million pounds and together they represented almost one-third of the 33/50 national
total. In looking at the releases and transfers of facilities belonging to the committed
companies, we see that the top five states were the same, but in a slightly different order:
Texas, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. (Note that releases and transfers are
assigned to the state in which facilities are located, not the state in which their parent
company headquarters are located.) The percentages varied among the states from less
than 5% of the total represented by committed companies to greater than 90%. However,
it should be noted that the extremes were associated with states with the smallest number
of TRI facilities, so that one company has a large impact on such a percentage
calculation. The percentages among the top five states were closer, ranging from 49% of
the total represented by facilities of committed companies in Ohio to 58% in Pennsylvania.
MEDIA/DESTINATION DISTRIBUTION
Companies must report to TRI the amounts of a chemical that are released on site
and/or transferred off site. Releases consist of air emissions (fugitive and point source),
surface water discharges, on-site releases to land, and discharges to underground
injection wells. Transfers are either to Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) or to off-
site treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. While the releases of a chemical to a
particular medium are clear, TRI data do not show the medium or geographic location to
which transfers are eventually released or the quantities of those releases.
For example, a chemical that is transferred to a POTW may end up being
discharged to surface water or sent in sewage sludge to a landfill (or released to the air
through vaporization). The chemical wastes sent off-site to a treatment, storage, and
disposal facility end up at a different geographic location and may be treated and
reduced in amount by methods varying widely from chemical to chemical, and facility to
facility. These differences should be kept in mind when looking at the amount of releases
to the various media.
The distribution of releases and transfers by media/transfer destination for
committed companies and other 33/50 companies can be seen in Figure 6 and Table 6.
As shown, the 33/50 releases and transfers of committed companies differ significantly on
a percentage basis between media and transfer destination. For example, in 1988 the 33/

50 discharges to underground injection wells of facilities of committed companies
represented 81% of all 33/50 discharges to such wells. In contrast, the 33/50 fugitive air
emissions of committed companies accounted for 49% of total 33/50 fugitive air emissions.
INDUSTRY SECTOR DISTRIBUTION
The seventeen 33/50 chemicals are used by facilities manufacturing a wide range
of goods, from the chemicals themselves to electronic equipment, paper, plastics, food,
and furniture. Each of the industrial sectors that are required to report to TRI (the
manufacturing Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 20 through 39) have reported
releases and transfers of the 33/50 chemicals. The distribution of companies' 33/50
Program participation rates across major industrial sectors are presented in Figure 7 and
Table 7. The distribution of TRI-reported releases and transfers of 33/50 chemicals by
facilities associated with these companies is presented in Figure 8 and Table 8. (The
category called "multiple" represents individual facilities that use the chemical in the
manufacture of products in more than one of the industrial sectors listed.) The amounts of
releases and transfers are assigned to an industry sector according to how the chemical is
used at an individual facility, which may in some cases be different than the primary
industrial sector for the company as a whole.

-------
The number of companies associated with 33/50 chemicals per industry sector
ranged from a low of six in the tobacco industry to a high of 1,001 in the fabricated metals
industry. The chemical sector had the second largest number of potential 33/50
companies with a total of 835. Together, the fabricated metals and the chemical
industries accounted for approximately one-third of all potential 33/50 companies.
(Subdivisions within these two industry sectors are shown.) The participation rate differed
from sector to sector ranging from a low of approximately 2% for the "multiple codes"
sector to 37% for drug/pharmaceutical manufacturers, a subdivision within the chemical
sector (see Figure 7 and Table 7).

While the uses of 33/50 chemicals by the chemical and transportation equipment
sectors were associated with the largest releases and transfers, the highest percentages of
a sector's releases and transfers that were associated with committed companies came
from the drug/pharmaceutical manufacturers and the food industry (over 81%). On the
other hand, the printing and metal services industries had the lowest proportion (less than
10%) of their releases and transfers associated with committed companies. (See Figure 8
and Table 8.)

CHEMICAL DISTRIBUTION
Analysis of TRI-reported releases and transfers on a chemical-specific basis also
reveals varying levels of "coverage" by companies currently participating in the 33/50
Program, ranging from a high of nearly 93% for mercury and its compounds to a low of just
over 40% for chromium and related compounds (see Figure 9 and Table 9). Ubiquitous
chemicals with larger volumes of TRI releases and transfers, such as toluene (almost twice
as large as any of the others) and trichloroethane, have lower portions of their total
volume associated with companies participating in the 33/50 Program, highlighting the
need to continue program outreach efforts aimed at bringing the numerous smaller users
and manufacturers into the Program.

33/50 AFTER ONE YEAR MAKING PROGRESS?
After one year of outreach efforts to solicit company commitments, almost half of
the nation's largest releasers of 33/50 chemical wastes have submitted reduction
commitments (275 out of 555 companies). Over 450 companies from the ranks of the 5,192
companies with samller releases and tranfers of 33/50 chemicals have signed on, although
they have had less time to formally consider their participation in the Program.
Is the 33/50 glass half empty or half full? If all 734 companies that have committed
to the Program were to completely eliminate their TRI discharges of the seventeen 33/50
chemicals by 1995, they would have reduced the nation's waste load by more than 700
million pounds, meeting the 33/50 Program goal of a 50% reduction.
In fact, most of these companies have agreed to commitments of about 50% by
1995, with the result that the 33/50 Program still has to make substantial inroads on the
generation of toxic pollution if it is to meet its reduction goals. On the encouraging side is
the early indication that many companies have indicated that they expect to exceed
often by large amounts their reduction targets; this has already occurred at AT&T (see
What Industry Is Doing, above). On the other hand, there still remain the hundreds of large
generators, and thousands of smaller ones, who, for whatever reasons, have not yet
elected to participate. Our efforts to bring them on board will continue as the 33/50
Program matures.
33/50: WHAT LIES AHEAD?
The 33/50 Program has grown substantially in its first year, expanding from its initial
face-to-face meetings with a few dozen companies and targeted contacts with the
"Top 600* companies with the largest reports of 33/50 wastes, to broad outreach
orchestrated through EPA's ten Regional offices and involving several State agencies as
well to the thousands of companies who can assist us in achieving the Program's goals.
In the next few years, as we approach the 1995 target date, the focus of 33/50 will
shift from outreach to evaluation and recognition. How much reduction has been
achieved? What has been the impact of pollution prevention practices? One of the keys
for answering these and other questions will be new information provided by the Pollution
Prevention Act of 1990. The Act calls for additional data collection in TRI which will address
the role of pollution prevention, recycling, and treatment in achieving reductions. The Act
will also require all companies not just 33/50 participants to project their next two
years' waste generation for the TRI chemicals, a source of data that will allow an early
assessment of expected waste generation trends. The new pollution prevention data will
first be reported to EPA and the States in July, 1992, covering the 1991 reporting year.
With this new information and the details that companies are voluntarily providing
to the 33/50 Program, future Progress Reports and other communications will provide a
realistic assessment of how successfully U.S. industry is able to apply pollution prevention to
the reduction of releases and transfers of the seventeen 33/50 chemicals in the context of
a voluntary reduction effort.
