EXECUTIVE SUMMARY V7TTH RECOMMENDATIONS
The Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) is in the process of
implementing a major change in its way of approaching environmental
problems. Historically, the Agency has looked at the end-of-the-pipe:
regulating air emissions, liquid discharges, and solid residuals, instead
of looking at modifying processes. What changes can be made to minimize the
amount of waste produced or to make it less hazardous? Can alternative raw
materials be used? Can housekeeping be improved? Can new equipment be
brought in or existing equipment modified? Can procedures be changed?
This concept is known by a number of terms: "waste reduction," "waste
minimization," and, more recently, "pollution prevention." But, what is
most important is implementation of the concept.
Companies such as Dow, 3M, and Polaroid have been applying waste
minimization techniques for many years. Their efforts were initiated for
economic reasons. Waste minimization makes processes more efficient,
improving yield. Less raw materials are typically used and waste management
costs decrease. Long-term liability costs also decrease or may even be
eliminated if the waste produced is no longer hazardous. Worker exposure
goes down and morale goes up. These efforts, in fact, have been so
successful, that often waste minimization techniques have been considered
confidential information.
EPA Headquarters (HQ) is hoping that the positive economics and the
myriad of other positive results will be enough to convince companies to
implement waste minimization techniques. It is hoped that by providing
information, technical assistance, and possibly, financing options, companies
will proceed on their own, without a strong regulatory program. There are,
however, many disincentives to implementation beyond lack of information and
lack of funds. For instance:
. There is often organizational inertia people are resistant to change.
. Company efforts are directed towards complying with end-of-the-pipe regulations,
taking limited energies away from waste minimization.
. Changes risk established product quality.
If it is found that companies are not implementing waste minimization,
EPA may recommend a full-fledged regulatory program in its Report to Congress
due in 1990.
As its interest has grown, EPA has modified its internal structure,
expanding the number of people working on the program. Currently, there is
an Office of Waste Minimization in the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency
Response (OSWER), and an Office of Pollution Prevention in the Office of
Policy, Planning, and Evaluation (OPPE). Although both are multi-media in
attitude, the Office of Waste Minimization is geared more towards looking
specifically at hazardous waste problems. The Office of Pollution Prevention
111
-------
is the hub, while the Office of Waste Minimization is nore media-specific.
Contact offices are planned in the other media areas also.
EPA offices in Cincinnati have also changed in structure to incorporate
waste minimization. In 1988, the Hazardous Waste Engineering Research Laboratory
and the Water Engineering Research Laboratory were merged, forming the Risk
Reduction Engineering Laboratory (RREL). One division of the RREL is the
Waste Minimization, Destruction, and Disposal Research Division, which includes
the Waste Minimization Branch. The Branch provides technical support to EPA HQ,
the Regions, and the States.
Waste minimization activities among EPA Regions and among States vary
greatly from just beginning to collect information to full-fledged technical
assistance programs. The States with the most extensive programs include
North Carolina, Minnnesota, California, and Illinois. Within Region III, the
most activity to date has occurred in Pennsylvania.
Among EPA Regions, those considered to be the furthest along in program
development include Regions III, IV, and X. Many efforts in Region III have
been in large part due to the research involved in this MERIT report and
to the waste management grants managed by the Region. However, there is
still much to do.
Currently in Region III, several people actively work in the subject
area, although they are not connected organizationally. These persons are
located in:
. the Hazardous Waste Management Division the author (grants management,
information collection, training, presentations, MERIT); others (coordina-
tion of a multi-media advisory committee and interfacing with EPA HQ)
. the Center for Environmental Learning (arranging meetings, scheduling
presentations)
. various media areas (representatives on the multi-media advisory conmittee)
For fiscal year 1989, funding for one or two positions is expected from
HQ, however, no other funds will be dedicated. It is therefore necessary that
the program implemented by Region III be low or no cost and use resources of
other organizations or other EPA programs. In addition to securing resources,
other areas that need to be addressed include:
- What are the best ways to communicate information?
- How can we effectively use the knowledge of others' experiences?
- What Federal and State barriers exist?
- What are the probable effects of implementing pollution prevention
programs in various industries?
Specific recommended activities are listed below. First are those whose
costs would be minimal or zero; second are those for which funding would be
needed.
IV
-------
Recommendations
1. Costs Zero or Minimal
. Review 1987 biennial report waste minimization summaries from
HQ when they become available.
. Work with HQ in determining which Federal regulations act as
disincentives to pollution prevention. Also examine the
liability laws that discourage waste exchange.
. Determine possible additional sources of funding within the Region,
HQ, Cincinnati, and the States.
. Further develop the Regional multi-media advisory committee recently
formed. Define target groups for initial Regional communications.
. Begin training Region III State technical personnel by sending
literature, the movie "Waste Not," and a training tape of
recent in-house training to State training contacts for their use.
. Use the Cooperative Environmental Management Message (CEM-Message)
system recently established by HQ to communicate information to
other environmental professionals in government, academia, and the private
sector.
. Publicize success stories through EPA documents, the media, and
newsletters of organizations (such as industry associations).
. Contact technical and business management departments of universities
to determine if they send speakers out to industry. (Drexel
University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for instance, offers
a free Visiting Professor Lecture Series.) If so, encourage
speakers on pollution prevention.
. In addition, encourage technical and business management universities
to modify their curricula to take into account multi-rtedia pollution
prevention in manufacturing. (The University of Pittsburgh is already
developing such a program.)
. Contact groups who might offer volunteers for specific projects.
. Meet with and encourage private consultants to offer services in waste
minimization/pollution prevention.
. Participate in "Industry Day" sponsored by the Pennsylvania Water
Pollution Control Association.
-------
. Document success stories that occur in the Region and submit the
information to national and Regional information clearinghouses.
. Encourage firms that have implemented successful waste minimization
programs to share that information with their trade associations
or with other firms in their industry.
. Devise a means for determining projects the Region would like to
see accomplished; then match up non-profit groups or universities
with foundations that might supply the funding.
. Encourage banks/loan institutions to give loans for waste minimization
modifications. Encourage business assistance organizations to issue
loan guarantees.
. Appoint one person in each Regional program area as the pollution
prevention contact person. (This has begun with the organization
of the multi-media advisory committee).
. Look into giving out Regional awards for pollution prevention activities?
encourage pollution prevention employee suggestions (possibly combine
this with an EPA award program); hold a pollution prevention contest of
some sort for elementary and high school level students.
. Encourage States to look into giving tax incentives for pollution
prevention activities; suggest Federal tax incentives to Congress.
. Develop an official Regional pollution prevention communications policy.
Incorporate pollution prevention communication into performance standards.
. Take steps to recycle paper and metal cans in the Regional office.
. Look into the Region increasing purchases of recycled materials.
. Contact Federal facilities to encourage waste minimization.
. Look into establishing State waste-end taxes on generators to help pay
for State programs; suggest Federal taxes to Congress.
. Encourage the formation of industry-specific workgroups to discuss
problems and discover solutions.
. Encourage industry to look for markets for their wastes (to think of
wastes as industrial byproducts): waste exchanges can help in this
regard.
. Encourage schools and large companies to set up internal waste exchanges,
and to perform experiments on a microscale level when possible.
. Use existing waste production data to estimate potential waste reduction
by waste type and to prioritize pollution prevention projects.
VI
-------
Contact the Citizen's Stamp Advisory Committee of the U.S.
Postal Service about issuing a series of "Pollution Prevention
Pays" stamps.
Ask for assistance from the Council for the Advancement of Science
Writing, a group founded by journalists for the purpose of advancing
the scientific knowledge of print and broadcast journalists.
Encourage the insurance industry to require plans and commitments
for waste reduction as a condition for companies obtaining pollution
liability insurance. Already, the high cost of the insurance is
acting as an economic incentive.
Incorporate pollution prevention into EPA Regional enforcement decisions/
corrective action measures.
Work with Region III States to help them determine which of their
regulations and permit conditions act as disincentives to pollution
prevention. Begin this after the determination has been made on
Federal regulations and permit conditions.
Examine Regional and Regional/State procedures which act as disincentives
and which can be modified. (For instance, permit modifications in
order to implement waste minimization might receive high priority.)
Incorporate pollution prevention activities into State work
programs in all program areas. Assist in reworking resource
allocations.
Secure graduate students under the National Network for Environmental
Policy Studies program to assist with pollution prevention projects.
In the same vein, secure co-op students to assist with projects.
Give literature and information to business assistance groups (such
as Small Business Development Centers); lawyers that help businesses
incorporate; and banks that finance start-up projects and/or waste
management projects so that they can pass information along to
newly forming manufacturing businesses.
Encourage the EPA Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response to
offer a series of courses in waste minimization which would be open
to EPA and non-EPA employees. (Currently planned is one course
to be offered only in a few Regions.)
Routinely repeat in-house pollution prevention training for
new employees and for those unable to attend previously. Develop
and give new training as significant new information arises.
Sensitize employees.
See that pollution prevention information is included in
relevant electronic bulletin boards.
Encourage special projects in the Regional office (possibly
through the MERIT system) that address pollution prevention.
vn
-------
2. Funding Needed
. Assist States in setting up technical assistance programs. Encourage
onsite, visits by people with field experience. Use contractors as
necessary.
. Contract a study to determine the most effective ways to communicate
the concept of pollution prevention to various groups in order
to effect long-lasting change. The contracted group should
consist of a behavioral psychologist, a sociologist, and a
marketing/communications specialist.
. Establish pollution prevention roundtables in each State which would
include representatives from EPA, from other Federal agencies,
States and local governments, environmental groups, industry, and
universities. Roundtables would address State-specific issues, develop
State-specific plans, assist in implementation, and monitor progress.
An important initial task for the roundtables would be to target
industries for initial communication. This may be based on
capacity shortfalls, most prevalent industries or waste categories, or
industries with the best chances for waste minimization based on
case studies.
. Attend national workgroup meetings such as Woods Hole, the National
Roundtable of State Waste Reduction Programs, and others as
they arise.
. Invite experts in to speak and answer questions. Record sessions for
viewing by States and other interested groups.
. Secure contractors to retrain EPA and State inspectors to use a rnulti-
media approach.
. Send Regional speakers out to interested groups (non-profit groups may
legally contribute to travel expenses).
. Hold a Regional conference to exchange information with outside
concerns.
. Obtain existing waste management teaching plans for lower elementary,
upper elementary, and high school level students; modify as necessary;
and distribute to schools within the Region.
. Print "Pollution Prevention Pays" on all EPA stationery.
. Develop a general brochure on pollution prevention which includes
information from all media areas, such as contact persons, major
publications available, what has been accomplished, and plans for
the future.
vin
-------
. Develop industry-specific and waste-specific literature.
Unfortunately, progress as a result of these activities will be
difficult to measure quantitatively. Units o'f measurement are not
standardized, and company operations vary widely. Still, quantitative
data (such as changes in loadings discharged) will be available every
two years through Congressional!/ mandated biennial reports.
Progress may also be looked at on a more qualitative basis. What
were the activities and the success stories? What more was accomplished
this fiscal year than last?
Fiscal year 1989 will see Region III progress significantly with
implementation of EPA's new mandate: a multi-media program to eliminate
waste at the source.

I. INTRODUCTION
Waste minimization is a subject rapidly attracting more and more
attention from government, industry, and concerned citizens. The concept
is quite simple and logical reduce problems associated with waste
disposal by reducing amounts of waste; instead of looking at the end-of-
the-pipe, look at the process, and look at opportunities for recycling.
The most environmentally sound way of dealing with a waste is not to
generate it.
Large manufacturing concerns in the United States, such as 3M, DuPont,
and Monsanto, have led the way. They began by incorporating yield improve-
ment programs into their operations in the early and mid 1970's and found
they could minimize their waste and save a substantial amount of money.
Because employing waste minimization gave these companies a financial
advantage over competitors, knowledge about the concept was slow to leak
out. Only now, in the late 1980's, is the Federal Government becoming
heavily involved.
Some case studies have shown that, using existing technology, up to
50 per cent of the hazardous waste being produced today in the United States
could be eliminated. With additional research, that percentage should
rise. The result will be preservation of remaining landfill capacity
and reduction of future environmental problems. Unfortunately, today
more than 99 per cent of environmental expenditures goes towards controlling
pollution after waste is generated, instead of toward implementing waste
minimization.
This report, prepared under the EPA MERIT (Managing for Environmental
Results Initiatives) system, will look-at terminology, regulatory status,
incentives/disincentives, and the status of Federal and State programs. The
result.will be short-term and long-term recommendations as to how EPA
Region III can best promote hazardous waste minimization, the new Agency
orientation.

II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A. Terminology
In developing fields, one term may have multiple definitions or
several terms may define the same concept. This happens as various groups
develop programs simultaneously but independently. As the field grows,
these independent programs come to touch and differences are discovered.
So it has been in the developing field of waste minimization.
Many terms exist: "waste minimization," "pollution prevention,"
"waste reduction," "source reduction," and "recycling." There are a
variety of definitions. There is no universal agreement. While at the
present time "waste minimization" is the most commonly used term throughout the
country, EPA Headquarters has changed its terminology from "waste minimization"
to the more encompassing "pollution prevention." This report uses mainly
"waste minimization" due to its narrower focus. Definitions follow.
The National Governors' Association has accepted the definition of
waste minimization developed by EPA for the 1987 Biennial Reporting
Form. That definition, with additional clarification, is below.
. Waste Minimization means the reduction, to the extent feasible, of
hazardous waste that is generated or subsequently treated, stored, or
disposed. Waste minimization includes any source reduction or recycling
activity undertaken by a generator that results in: (1) the reduction of
total volume or quantity of hazardous waste; (2) the reduction of toxicity
of hazardous waste; or (3) both, as long as the reduction is consistent
with the goal of minimizing present and future threats to human health.
and the environment. Additional clarification by EPA states that the
transfer of hazardous constituents from one environmental medium to
another does not constitute waste minimization. Neither would concentration
conducted solely for reducing volume, unless for example, concentration
of the waste allowed for recovery of useful constituents prior to treatment
and disposal. Likewise, dilution as a means of toxicity reduction would
not be considered waste minimization, unless later recycling steps were
involved. Neither is treatment by incineration solely for the purpose of
land disposal. Treatment may convert waste, but it is not considered true
waste minimization.
Recently, EPA's draft Waste Minimization Policy Statement (May 1988)
expanded the definition of waste minimization to include other environmental
programs which deal with a broad range of hazardous releases that may
actually or potentially impact the environment. In some cases the definition
has been expanded to include non-hazardous waste. Both approaches are in line
with EPA's change in philosophy to look at a potential or existing
pollution problem with a multi-media focus so that problems are solved
rather than transferred to another medium.
. Pollution Prevention is the most recent terminology used by EPA. It can
be thought of as a more generic term with its applicability expanded to
all environmental media and to consumer actions. Pollution prevention is
defined as reduction and recycling to reduce the amount and toxicity of
contaminants and thus the need for pollution control.
II-l
-------
. EPA's preferred waste management hierarchy is shown below. .Note
that waste minimization and pollution prevention incorporate only the
first two tiers.
1. Source Reduction
2. Recycling
3. Treatment
4. Disposal,
The terms used in the hierarchy are defined as follows:
Source Reduction means the reduction or elimination of waste at the
source, usually within a process. Source reduction measures include
process modifications, feedstock substitutions, improvements in feedstock
purity, improvements in housekeeping and management practices, increases
in the efficiency of machinery, and recycling within a process. Source
reduction implies any action that reduces the amount of waste exiting
from a process. Source reduction is waste avoidance.
Recycling is the use or reuse of hazardous waste as an effective
substitute for a commercial product or as an ingredient or feedstock in
an industrial process. It includes the reclamation of useful constituent
fractions within a waste material or the removal of contaminants from a
waste to allow it to be reused. Recycling can include use of waste as a
fuel supplement or fuel substitute. However, processes in which overall
energy efficiencies are less than 60 per cent are regarded as incineration
(treatment), not energy recovery (recycling). Recycling can occur
onsite or offsite. The Office of Technology Assessment does not consider
offsite recycling to be waste reduction.
Treatment is any method, technique, or process which changes the
physical, chemical, or biological character of any hazardous waste so as
to neutralize the waste, to recover energy or material resources from the
waste, or render such waste nonhazardous, less hazardous, safer to
manage, amenable for recovery, amenable for storage, or reduced in volume.
Disposal is the discharge, deposit, injection, dumping, spilling,
leaking, or placing of hazardous waste into or on any land or water so
that such waste or any constituents may enter the air or be discharged
into any waters, including ground water.
II-2
-------
B. Regulatory Status
The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) to the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) specifically state:
"The Congress hereby declares it to be the national policy of the
United States that, wherever feasible, the generation of hazardous
waste is to be reduced or eliminated as expeditiously as possible."
In addition, HSWA includes three statutory requirements related
to waste minimization:
o Generators must certify on their manifests that they have a
program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of waste
(Section 3002(b)).
o Any new treatment, storage, or disposal permit must include
a waste minimization certification statement (Section 3005(h)}.
o As part of the generator's biennial report, generators must
describe the efforts undertaken during the year to reduce the
volume and toxicity of waste generated {Section 3002(a)(b))
and document actual reduction achieved.
And, Section 104(k) of the Superfund Amendments (SARA) require
states to provide satisfactory assurances to EPA that they have suf-
ficient treatment and disposal capacity for all hazardous waste expected
to be generated within their borders for the next twenty years. These
assurances, which may take into account reductions expected to be realized
through waste minimization activities, are due by October 17, 1989.
EPA's position on waste minimization regulations was stated in
its 1986 Report to Congress;
"EPA still has much to learn about waste minimization...a major
new regulatory program - at least for the present - does not seem
desirable or feasible."
In its upcoming 1990 Report to Congress, EPA plans to report further on
the need for regulations, after observing the effects of voluntary
programs. Some want a national reduction goal. Many want EPA's
waste minimization authorities expanded to include chemicals not
regulated under RCRA.
EPA would like instead to keep waste reduction as a generally
non-regulatory program, using its resources to provide assistance.
It is hoped that once generators are provided with information they will
voluntarily implement changes, if only for the economic benefits.
II-3
-------
Legislation has been proposed which would create comprehensive
programs for reducing hazardous waste. Two major bills have been
introduced, but have not passed. The first, known as the Hazardous
Waste Reduction Bill/ was introduced in June 1987 in the House by
Representatives Howard Wblpe (D-MI), Claudine Schneider (R-RI),
Dennis Eckart (D-OH), and Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY) as H.R.2800 and
in the Senate by Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) as S.I429. "The Bill would
have:
o authorized State grants to start or expand waste reduction
programs,
ซ established a national information clearinghouse, and
o established an Office of Waste Reduction within EPA which would
be required to submit a report to Congress every two years on
progress and roadblocks, and improve information collection
under Section 3002 of RCRA (generator waste minimization efforts)
and Section 313 of the Superfund Amendments of 1986 (reporting of
releases).
The Bill was acted upon as follows:
o House - The Bill was passed by full committee in the summer of
1988; it was passed by the full House on October 4, 1988; then
moved to the Senate. Congress then adjourned for the year.
o Senate - H.R.2800 and S.1429 both died in the Senate Environment
and Public Works Committee.
Another major bill was introduced in August 1988 by Max Baucus.
Known as the Baucus Bill, the proposed legislation was comprehensive,
covering a number of waste management issues, including State capacity
and incineration. The Bill contained an efficiency standard which
would require generators to reduce their Section 313 waste (under SARA)
by 95 per cent within ten years. Baucus would like the Bill to be part of a
RCRA Reauthorization package. The Bill never got out of sub-committee.
It is expected that both the Hazardous Waste Reduction Bill and the
Baucus Bill, with some changes, will be reintroduced in 1989.
II-4
-------
C. Incentives/Pis incentives
Waste minimization is a concept which is often embraced but not
implemented. There are many reasons why companies may or may not carry
through with implementation.
Incentives
o firms become more efficient and profitable
o waste treatment and transportation costs are reduced
o compliance costs for permits, recordkeeping, monitoring, and
enforcement are reduced
o chances of spills, accidents, and emergencies decrease
o chances of human and environmental exposure are lowered
o liability insurance costs go down
o income from the sale or reuse of waste becomes possible
o less raw materials or less expensive raw materials may be used
o reduces public anxiety about hazardous waste; good for public relations
o permitting new hazardous waste facilities has become very difficult
and may take several years
o payback is fairly quick averages 1 to 4 years
o more stringent pretreatment regulations and point-source categorical
standards for NPDES permits and POTWs have been put into effect
o the land disposal of certain types of untreated wastes is being
phased out
o effluent costs and assessments for local wastewater plants are reduced
o workers may feel a sense of unity working towards a common goal
o if the voluntary program is ineffective, a full-fledged Federal regulatory
program may be put in place
Disincentives
o organizational inertia/lack of management support
o lack of information; special engineering knowledge may be necessary
o often seems like a long-term ideal rather than an immediate practicality
o risks product quality; need to notify customers of changes in products
o modifications may produce unforeseen expenditures
o lack of capital
o possible need to modify environmental permits (RCRA and NPDES)
o possible lobby by chemical salespeople since sales of raw materials
may go down
o successful companies hesitate to share technical information that gives
them a competitive advantage
o even if small quantity generators reduce their quantities of hazardous
waste, their disposal costs may remain the same because of minimum
pick-up charges
o batch processes are less suited to waste reduction than continuous
flow processes
o many consumers have an aversion to using products containing reclaimed
or recycled constituents
II-5
-------
manufacturers are often confronted with an array of standards that
virtually mandate the use of new materials
markets for recycled wastes tend to be unstable
with regard to waste exchange, there is the fear that a competitor
will obtain the waste, analyze it, and thereby discover a proprietary
process? there is also the fear of future liability from improper
use by the company taking possession of the waste
industry's attention and environmental resources are currently
directed toward regulatory compliance; a re-organization of
personnel may be necessary
regulatory officials are accustomed to mandating, developing, and
enforcing end-of-pipe pollution controls
Section 103 of the IRS tax code provides tax incentives for pollution
control bonds, but waste minimization modifications are not eligible
changing the definition of solid waste in HSWA discourages recycling
since any company that recycles its hazardous secondary materials is
potentially subject to RCRA regulation
procurement regulations may require purchases larger than necessary
industry is sensitive to government interference in manufacturing
processes
a re-organization of personnel may be necessary

EPA HQ's serious interest in waste minimization began in response
to Section 8002(r) of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA)
of 1984. Under this section, the Administrator of EPA was required
to submit a report to Congress by October 1, 1986 evaluating the
feasibility and desirability of:
o Establishing standards of performance or of taking other additional
actions under RCRA to require generators of hazardous waste to
reduce the volume or quantity and toxicity of the hazardous waste
they generate; and
o Establishing, with respect to hazardous waste, required manage-
ment practices or other requirements to ensure such wastes are
managed in ways that minimize present and future risks to human
health and the environment.
That 1986 Report to Congress recommended a non-regulatory, voluntary
program. A subsequent Report to Congress in December 1990 will evaluate
progress and may recommend regulations at that time if needed to protect
human health and the environment. In the interim, EPA HQ is (1) gather-
ing information on industry's response to the land disposal restrictions
program and other waste minimization incentives; and (2) implementing
a core waste minimization program.
III-l
-------
Initially, that core program was administered by James Lounsbury as a
Special Assistant to the Director of Solid Waste, Roger Schecter on an
IPA from the Pollution Prevention Pays Program of North Carolina as a
Special Assistant to the Assistant Administrator of the Office of Solid
Waste and Emergency Response, and a staff of two (Elaine Eby and Cynthia
Folkerts) in the Treatment, Technology Section of the Waste Manage-
ment Division.
Input and assistance came from several sources: the National
Governors Association, the Office of Research and Development (EPA
Cincinnati), and several workgroups. Those workgroups (which are still
active) included the National Roundtable of State Waste Reduction
Programs (headed by Roger Schecter) and the Coolfont Workgroup (re-
presentatives from industry, states, and environmental groups).
Since that time, HQ staff has grown and has reorganized as follows:
o Waste Minimization Office - Office of Solid Waste (OSW)
- James Lounsbury, Director
- currently no staff, will be hiring shortly
o Office of Pollution Prevention - Office of Policy, Planning,
and Evaluation (OPPE)
- Gerald Kotas, Director
- staff members are John Atcheson, Pam Sterling, Jackie Kriegar,
James Craig, John Keenan, Priscilla Flattery, Sharon Stahl, and
four persons on details
- will do policy work
- will serve the public and other EPA offices
- will begin by developing an agency-wide plan
o Office of Environmental Engineering & Technology Demonstration
- Myles Morse, staff member, is developing a computerized
database of case studies and governmental activities
o Pollution Prevention Advisory Committee
- Linda Fisher, Assistant Administrator for OPPE
and Sylvia Lowrance, Director of OSW, Co-chairpersons
- agency-wide; comprised of office directors and senior
Regional managers (Alvin Morris, Director of the Water
Management Division, is EPA Region Ill's representative)
- will seek views and information from State officials
- will help direct the activities of the Pollution Prevention
Office
- will assure the participation of the entire agency
III-2
-------
This current organization, however, may again be changing shortly
in response to the needs of this growing program. Gerald Kotas has
expressed the desire to make his Office of Pollution Prevention the hub
of the program with contact offices in each media area, such as the
Waste Minimization Office in the Office of Solid Waste.
At this point, EPA HQ has accomplished the following:
o published "Waste Minimization, Environmental Quality with
Economic Benefits" (10-87)
o published a bibliography, "Waste Minimization: Hazardous and
Non-Hazardous Solid Waste, 1980 to Present" (9-87)
o drafted "Guidance to Hazardous Waste Generators on the Elements
of a Waste Minimization Program" (5-10-88)
o drafted a proposed "Waste Minimization Policy Statement" (5-12-88)
o drafted a proposed "Source Reduction and Recycling Policy Statement"
(7-14-88)
Other projects, such as the development of a film, posters, and
industry-specific literature, and gleaning information from generator
biennial reports are in the works.
In addition, for fiscal year 1989, Congress has appropriated
additional funds and positions to be used at the Regional level. Regions
are vying for the resources. Proposals were due into HQ by November 30T
1988. Plans are to fund a number of Regional programs to act as pilot
projects. Region III has applied.

U.S. EPA
Cincinnati, OH 45268
(513) 569-7529; FTS 684-7529 or (513) 569-7504; FTS 684-7504
Effective July 11, 1988, the Office of Research & Development formed
the Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory (RREL) by merging the Hazardous
Waste Engineering Research Laboratory and the Water Engineering Research
Laboratory. One division of the RREL is the Waste Minimization, Destruction,
and Disposal Research Division which includes the Waste Minimization Branch
(see Appendix 1).
The Waste Minimization Branch is recognized as the primary contact
within the Laboratory for technical support of programs related to the EPA's
Waste Minimization Program. In carrying out this role, the Branch identifies,
evaluates, and demonstrates waste minimization techniques and technologies;
designs and tests prototypes; performs waste minimization assessments; gives
presentations to public and private organizations on waste minimization topics;
and participates in relevant seminars and national and international technical
meetings. The Branch provides support to the operating programs of other EPA
offices and State agencies in the development of policies and regulations
related to waste minimization and provides support for small quantity generator
programs at the local, State, and Federal levels. Technical assistance related
to Branch programs and expertise is provided to other components of EPA, to
other Federal agencies, to State and local governments, and to industry. A
large part of EPA's waste minimization clearinghouse will be located in RREL.
Specifically, the program for FY 89 contains the following key elements,
with funding of $1.4 million and receipt of ten additional positions:
. The Waste Reduction Innovative Technology Evaluation Program (WRITE)
a program to involve EPA with private industry to identify, evaluate, and/or
demonstrate new ideas and technologies leading to the reduction of hazardous
and nonhazardous pollutants across all environmental media. The objectives
of the WRITE Program include:
- establishing reliable performance and cost information on pollution
prevention techniques,
- introducing waste reduction techniques into broad commercial practice,
- encouraging participation by small and medium-sized companies by
providing support through State and local governments,
- encouraging information transfer among companies, and
- providing solutions to research questions.
. The Waste Reduction Assessments Program (WRAP) a program to assist
small companies with environmental audits and to illustrate the EPA waste
minimization opportunity assessment procedure and encourage the use of
waste minimization assessments as a tool for identifying options for
reducing waste.
III-4
-------
- In April, 1988, before the reorganization, the Hazardous Waste Engineering
Research Laboratory published a major guidance document, The EPA Manual
for Waste Minimization Opportunity Assessments. This practical document
lays out the steps in performing a waste minimization audit and provides
forms on which to record the information.
- The Industrial Technology and Energy Management Division of the University
City Science Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is using this guidance in
conducting a pilot project to assist manufacturers. Two waste minimization
assessment centers have been established; one at Colorado State University
in Fort Collins, the other at the University of Tennessee. Each center
will focus on six manufacturers, located in their areas, during the budget
period of June 20, 1988 to March 19, 1989.
. Waste Reduction Evaluations at Federal Sites (WREAFS) a program to set
up cooperative waste minimization technology demonstration projects with
other Federal agencies. The objectives of the WREAFS Program include:
- conducting waste minimization workshops,
- performing waste minimization opportunity assessments,
- developing information transfer opportunities between government
and industry,
- providing EPA-developed research information to Federal facilities,
- demonstrating waste minimization techniques at Federal facilities, and
- promoting and enhancing waste minimization benefits within the Federal
community.
. The Waste Reduction Institute for Scientists and Engineers (WRISE)
a program in conjunction with the University of Cincinnati, using retired
individuals with practical experience to act as advisors to EPA and as
liaisons to those generators with whom the Agency is working, to encourage
new waste reduction technologies. The group will also encourage teaching
of waste minimization concepts in universities and will counsel EPA to
enhance the credibility within industry of EPA's research. Also being
developed but not yet funded is the Small Business Waste Reduction Innovative
Technology Evaluation program to encourage the introduction of waste
minimization technology at small generator facilities.

Within the Office of Industrial Programs of the Department of
Energy (DOE) are two major divisions: (1) Improved Energy Productivity
and (2) Waste Energy Reduction. While the divisions have been in
existence for approximately 13 years, their original intent was energy
conservation. Today, the programs concentrate on improving manufacturing
efficiency by giving research funding to industries, academia, and
non-profit organizations. While the programs are not specifically
geared towards waste reduction, reduction typically results as process
efficiencies imorove.

DOD is the nation's largest generator of hazardous waste. As such,
the Department issued a policy statement in early 1987 which was updated
in March 1988. Each branch of the military is responsible for developing
and implementing its own program. Each has set its own goals. The Air
Force has set an annual goal of ten percent reduction for each fiscal year
FY 88 through FY 92, based on an FY 86 baseline. The Army's goal is a 50
percent reduction in annual production by 1992. The Navy has targeted
twenty specific sources which account for 90 percent of its wastes.
Overall, DOD has several ongoing programs. Unused and used
chemicals, paints, greases, cleaning compounds, solvents, photographic
solutions, hydraulic fluids, oils, and other recyclable materials
are offered to the public through surplus property sales conducted
by regional sales offices. In addition, DOD attempts to coordinate
the exchange of unused chemicals among its labs. Although since
1980 it has been t'.;e policy to limit the generation of hazardous
waste through alternative procurement policies and procedures, the
system still requires large purchases of some chemicals. So, chemicals
are exchanged. An attempt is being made to get authorization to
list materials and wastes with regional waste exchanges.

Also, many manufacturing facilities owned by DOD, like those of
private industry, are implementing waste minimization techniques and
transferring that knowledge to other similar DOD operations. That
information is also being provided to EPA HQ for input into the
computerized information clearinghouse. Specific studies may be con-
ducted with EPA's Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory at certain
Federal facilities.

Connecticut (R,S)
Waste minimization in Connecticut is promoted through three main groups.
The Connecticut Hazardous Waste Management Service (CHWMS), a nonregulatory,
quasi-public corporation has the statutory responsibility to promote
appropriate management of hazardous and low-level radioactive waste.
The service conducts long-range planning and research, provides technical
and financial assistance, and assists in facility siting. Hazardous
waste minimization is a primary focus of CHHMS1 hazardous waste management
plan. The objective is "to encourage waste recycling, reduction and
sound hazardous waste management practices, to provide Connecticut industries,
business and communities technical assistance regarding proper and cost-effective
management options, and to coordinate and to make efficient use of existing
State, Federal and independent programs and resources." To supplement
its limited staff, CHWMS recruits volunteer experts from government,
industry, and the public to participate in task forces.
The environmental regulatory agency in Connecticut is the Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP). DEP works closely with CHWMS and is dedicated
to "minimizing the generation of hazardous wastes, recycle wherever possible,
and provide proper management."
The Department of Economic Development (DED) promotes hazardous waste
minimization through its Hazardous Waste Technical Assistance Program.
The program focuses on small manufacturers, providing information on technology
and financial assistance programs.
Maine
Five seminars on hazardous waste regulations and waste minimization have
been held. There have been no other significant activities.

-------
Massachusetts (S,F)
In Massachusetts, source reduction is handled by two different departments
within the Commonwealth's Executive Office of Environmental Affairs: the
Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) and the Department
of_ Environmental Management. The two work closely together. In June
1987, a Source Reduction Policy Work Group was formed which includes
staff from the air, water, and RCRA programs. This work group has provided
advice on the development of a cross-media database network, and the
feasibility of cross-media permitting. Another work group, the Source
Reduction Advisory Group, made up of five CEO's of large companies, also
provides input.
Since 1984, several Statewide source reduction conferences have been
held. In addition, the State has conducted workshops, set up a hotline, hired
graduate students to do research, and has established working ties with
environmental groups. These efforts have the full support of the
Commissioner who has directed that "... all new regulations proposed by
DEQE shall allow and provide, through all reasonable means, incentives for
the use of source reduction methods which are consistent with enabling
legislation, and which are technically and economically feasible."
Currently, DEQE is developing a pilot project to perform multi-media
inspections in central Massachusetts. Firms sited for violations will
have to consider source reduction as a primary means of compliance.
Another effort in Massachusetts worth mentioning is the work done by
the Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development Commission under RCRA
ง8001 grants. The Commission held seminars and provided technical
assistance to small quantity generators. The City in which the Commission
is located, Barnstable, is environmentally aware. Three household
hazardous waste collections have been held there.
New Hampshire - No significant activity.
Rhode Island (S)
In 1986, Rhode Island's State Legislature passed a hazardous waste
reduction act which required the Division of Environmental Management to
develop a State plan. That plan was developed by Brown University and is
now beginning to be implemented. A Hazardous Waste Reduction Section
has been established which is responsible for providing funds to business,
conducting waste audits, facilitating information exchange, and distributing
print and audio-visual materials. Work, however, is limited due to a lack
of funding.

New Jersey (R,S)
The Hazardous Waste Advisement Program, located in the Division of
Hazardous.Waste Management in the Department of Environmental Protection,
was organized in 1981. Among its other duties, the Advisement Program is
implementing a Hazardous Waste Reuse Program and has conducted workshops
on waste minimization. In addition, the Advisement Program is working with
Harry Freeman of EPA Cincinnati to determine the usefulness of The EPA
Manual for Waste Minimization Opportunity Assessments.
The New Jersey Hazardous Waste Source Reduction and Recycling Task
Force is part of the New Jersey Hazardous Waste Facilities Siting Commission.
The Task Force, consisting of representatives from government, academia,
industry, and environmental groups, recently published its two-year
study, "Hazardous Waste Source -Reduction and Recycling Initiatives for
the State of New Jersey." The study recommends:
- the formation of a technical assistance program aimed at small
companies
- a multi-media review of current regulations
- educational initiatives
- development of a nethod for gauging program effectiveness
- a Governor's award
New York (S,F)
In 1981, the Industrial Materials Recycling Act designated the
Environmental Facilities Corporation (EPC), a public benefit body, to
help reduce, recycle, and exchange industrial wastes. While also active
in the water and air pollution areas, EFC's waste management duties
include:
IV-4
-------
. financing industry environmental projects
. management and financial services for solid waste management and resource
recovery projects
. technical assistance to business and government
- information clearinghouse
- free, on-site consulting
- training
- Governor's Award
. the Northeast Industrial Waste Exchange
. inactive hazardous waste site remediation
. special, high priority projects as directed by the Governor or
the Legislature
In 1987, the New York Legislature passed a law which established the
"Preferred Statewide Hazardous Waste Pfanagement Practices Hierarchy":
1) source reduction
2) reuse, recycling, recovery
3) treatment, detoxification, and other destruction methods
4) discharges, emissions, disposal
Implementing this hierarchy is the regulatory body, the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). In the fall of 1987,
NYSDEC established a Waste Minimization Section within the Division of
Hazardous Substances Regulation to develop and implement hazardous waste
reduction programs. On October 1, 1988, the Section was renamed the Waste
Reduction implementation Section. Currently consisting of six professionals,
the staff is slated to expand. Contractors are also assisting in the
effort. One is developing a hazardous waste reduction guidance manual
and workshops; a second is updating New York's hazardous waste treatment-needs
survey. In addition, in the near future, NYSDEC will be requiring waste
reduction impact statements as part of hazardous waste facility permit
applications. As of July 1988, waste reduction impact statements have
been required as a condition for receiving operating permits. On October 1,
1988, a Waste Reduction Evaluation Section was created to review these
statements. In addition, the Section will assess possible incentive and
disincentive programs, will prepare guidance, and will develop a computer
based information system. NYSDEC sponsored New York State's first annual
Hazardous Waste Reduction Conference on June 7 and 8, 1988.
A third body involved in New York State's effort is the Center for
Hazardous Waste Management, which was established by law in 1987. The
Center supports research and development programs and conducts outreach
activities aimed at generators, handlers, regulators, and researchers.
The Center has received one million dollars from the New York State
Legislature for fiscal year 1988 to 1989.

In October 1985, the University of Alabama established the Hazardous
Material Management and Resource Recovery (HAMMARR) program to promote
multi-disciplinary pollution prevention. HAMMARR has five functions:
applied research, technology transfer, dissemination of regulatory
information, on-site technical assistance, and waste exchange. HAMMARR
created the Alabama Waste Exchange and supports Project ROSE (Recycled

Florida (R,S)
The Center for Training, Research and Education for Environmental Occupations
(TREEO) was created by an act of the Florida Legislature in 1974. The
center is housed in the Division of Continuing Education at the University
of Florida. Although much of its thrust has been in water supply and
wastewater treatment plant issues, TREEO has begun to offer training in
hazardous and solid waste management.
In 1988, the Florida Legislature appropriated $250,000 and three positions
for an initial year of a Waste Reduction Assistance Program. This program
is just now beginning.
Georgia (S,F)
The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) was established in 1983
with financial assistance from EPA. It has evolved into an extensive,
State-funded program. The program offers onsite and telephone technical
assistance, short courses, and seminars. Georgia has tried a toll-free
hotline number and an information clearinghouse but found them to be
cost-prohibitive.
IV-6
-------
Kentucky (R,S)
In 1986 the Department for Environmental Protection established a
Pollution Prevention Pays Advisory Committee. In 1987 the Committee
presented its recommendations, one of which was to establish a waste
minimization information center. The center, known as Kentucky Partners,
was set up in December 1987 at the University of Louisville's School of
Engineering. The center provides free, non-regulatory, confidential
technical assistance and holds seminars. In 1988, the Kentucky General
Assembly authorized permanent establishment of the waste reduction center.
In addition, the Assembly established a legislative task force to study
waste management in the State. One job of the task force is to "review
and encourage the state's emphasis on waste reduction and waste minimization."
Mississippi (S)
In the 1988 Session, the Mississippi Legislature created the Environ-
mental Protection Council. The Council has given $15,000 to initiate the
Mississippi Technical Assistance Program for the Management of Industrial
Wastes at Mississippi State University.
North Carolina (S,F)
North Carolina is the nation's recognized leader in waste minimization.
Two departments in the State government are involved the Department of
Natural Resources & Community Development, and the Department of Human Resources.
The Department of Human Resources administers North Carolina's
hazardous waste program under RCRA. In late 1986, a Technical Assistance/Support
Unit (TASU) was established to assist generators with their waste
minimization efforts and to track progress statewide. TASU acts as a
liaison between the state regulators and the business community. TASU
performs onsite consultations (specifically aimed at small quantity
generators), has an information clearinghouse, and publishes a quarterly
newsletter. In addition, TASU has given:
. speeches/conferences,
. training,
. a Governor's award (in conjunction with the Governor's Waste Management
Board), and
. modified the tax system.
The key group in North Carolina, however, is the Pollution Prevention
Pays (PPP) Program in the Department of Natural Resources and Community
Development. The program, initiated in 1983, is results oriented,
providing free technical assistance to industries and municipalities.
The staff of 4 with a budget of $350,000 saves industry in North Carolina
almost $14 million a year.
IV-7
-------
Services fall into the following categories:
. information clearinghouse with over 2,000 references
. facility or waste stream specific waste reduction reports giving
references, case studies, and contacts
. onsite technical assistance which includes a report detailing options
. presentations/conferences/training
. challenge grants which provide for the cost of personnel, materials,
and consultants needed for waste minimization projects
Pending receipt of an EPA grant, PPP will be working with the Minnesota
Technical Assistance Program to develop a train-the-trainer course in
specific waste minimization techniques. The course will be given at
selected EPA Regions across the country.
South Carolina (S)
Significant planning has taken place; activities should begin shortly.
Tennessee (R,F)
Currently, waste minimization in Tennessee is promoted by the
Hazardous Waste Extension Program (HWEP) operated out of the University
of Tennessee Center for Industrial Services. The program, which is geared
towards small quantity generators, provides onsite audits, publishes
technical bulletins, conducts workshops, gives a Governor's award, and
has set up an information clearinghouse. Funding is through the Tennessee
Higher Education Commission at $200,000/year.
A separate waste reduction program has been proposed under Tennessee
Senate Bill No. 1839. The program, which would receive $300,000 yearly,
would, among other things:
. provide free onsite technical assistance
. administer a financial incentives program
. provide training
. publish literature
. provide free information through the information clearinghouse
. coordinate the annual Governor's award
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is also involved in waste
minimization in Tennessee in two ways. First, TVA has instituted an
in-house program to minimize the purchase and use of hazardous materials
and to maximize opportunities for recycling and reuse. Second, TVA provides
technical assistance directly to selected industries in solving hazardous
waste management problems. Approximately two-thirds of the cases have
addressed waste minimization.

Illinois (R,S,F)
Four groups in Illinois are working in the area of waste minimization:
the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the Industrial Waste
Elimination Research Center, the Illinois Hazardous Waste Research and
Information Center, and the Industrial Material Exchange Service.
The Illinois EPA has accomplished the following activities:
. written press releases/articles/newsletters
. given speeches/conferences
. worked with environmental organizations
. set up an international database
. organized a student intern program
. incorporated waste minimization in landfill permit reviews
In addition, the Illinois EPA in conjunction with the Illinois State
Chamber of Commerce sponsor the Industrial Material Exchange Service.
This waste exchange is an information clearinghouse that publishes a
listings catalog every two months. The exchange has been quite successful.
The Industrial Waste Elimination Research Center was established in
1980 with an EPA grant. The Center's focus is multi-media, looking at:
(1) developing "clean" manufacturing technologies; (2) modifying
manufacturing processes to avoid or reduce the generation of waste; and
(3) developing methods for recycling, recovery, and reuse of industrial
waste. As part its work, the Center has distributed literature, given
training, organized industry-specific work groups, offered loans or loan
guarantees, and performed consulting services.
The Illinois Hazardous Waste Research and Information Center is part
of the State Water Survey Division of the Illinois Department of Energy
and Natural Resources. Created in 1984, its mandate is to provide
expertise to the State in three areas of hazardous waste management:
research, information services, and industrial and technical assistance.
The Center conducts workshops and is currently working with EPA HQ and the
riaryland Environmental Service on developing a computerized technical
advisory system on waste minimization. In the fall of 1989, laboratory
services will be offered with the completion of a $9 million laboratory
facility.

and oversight of the Indiana Waste Exchange. The Branch has been working
in conjunction with the Office of Technical Assistance (OTA) in the
development of resource recovery and waste minimization programs. Already,
.OTA is providing workshops and technical assistance to businesses and municipalities
in Indiana. Technical assistance has also been provided by Purdue University
under a FY 86 EPA RCRA ง8001 grant. That assistance was specifically
for small quantity generators.
Michigan (S)
In late 1987, legislation was enacted in Michigan which established
waste reduction responsibilities for the State government, effective
October 1, 1988. Created were an Office of Waste Reduction in the
Department of Natural Resources and a Waste Reduction Assistance Service
in the Department of Coranerce. Also created was the Environmental
Technology Board to investigate establishing an institute to conduct
research and development of waste reduction technologies. A conference for
industry on non-hazardous waste minimization was held in September 1988.
Minnesota (RfS,F)
Minnesota is considered to have one of the top hazardous waste
minimization programs in the county. Two organizations in Minnesota are
involved: the Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MnTAP), the non-
regulatory body, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPGA), the
regulatory body.
MnTAP was formed in 1984 to assist hazardous waste generators in
complying with regulations and in reducing their waste. The program is
located at the University of Minnesota and is funded by the Minnesota
Waste Management Board. Currently, there are four full-time staff assisted
by student interns. Services include onsite and telephone consultations,
the distribution of literature, seminars and workshops, research grants,
and a Governor's Award. All contacts are kept confidential. Pending
receipt of an EPA grant, MnTAP will be working with North Carolina's
Pollution Prevention Pays Program to develop a train-the-trainer course
in specific waste minimization techniques. The course will be given at
selected EPA Regions.
MPCA's efforts are coordinated with those of MnTAP, though they are
much less extensive in the specific area of waste minimization. MPCA's
Hazardous Waste Section, in which the responsibility lies, consists of
one person.

Ohio (R,S)
The waste minimization program in Ohio consists of information
assistance given through a non-regulatory body, the Ohio Technology Transfer
Organization (OTTO). OTTO is a network of 32 trained agents located at
28 colleges and universities throughout the State. An engineering
specialist and two business management specialists as well as the Waste
Information Network library at Ohio State University provide additional
expertise. OTTO's major purpose is to help Ohio businesses become more
productive and competitive. Funding comes from the Ohio Department of
Development.
Also active is the WSOS Community Action Commission, Inc., the
central administrative entity for the Great Lakes Rural Network. In
1987, WSOS initiated a pilot project in hazardous waste minimization.
The project has resulted in significant reductions. Recently, WSOS and
OTTO were awarded a George Gund Foundation grant to conduct a series of
four waste minimization workshops.
The Industrial States Policy Center has also been involved in waste
minimization in the state. As a recipient of a RCRA Section 8001 grant, the
Center held a conference on hazardous waste minimization and recycling in
late 1986.
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is just beginning to get
involved. The development of a Statewide waste.minimization task force
has been initiated.
Wisconsin (R,S,F)
Section 144.60(1) of Wisconsin's statutes states "a State-administered
regulatory program is needed which...encourages...the reuse, recycling
or reduction of hazardous wastes." The Department of Natural Resources
(CNR) has recognized waste reduction as a priority issue. DNR recently
completed a pilot project of technical assistance and literature development,
in addition to incorporating waste minimization into its small quantity
generator program. Currently, a Waste Reduction Advisory Committee is
developing a Statewide cross-media strategy and developing a case file
of success stories. The Committee has organized members from industry,
environmental groups, academia, and government into the Wisconsin Committee
for Waste Reduction to provide input to the plan. Already, the State
has implemented waste demonstration grants, a Governor's award, and
workshops/training. DNR's waste minimization program does not have a set
funding source.
In addition to the DNR, several other groups have been actively
promoting waste minimization within the State: the Madison Audubon
Society, the Federation of Environmental Technologists, and the University
of Wisconsin.

The Texas Water Commission administers the State's waste management
program. The Commission has been mandated by the Solid Waste Disposal Act
to establish a waste exchange and to promote recycling, recovery, and reuse.
In addition, the Texas Legislature has declared waste minimization to be
preferred over other hazardous waste management practices. The Legislature
has set up an Interagency Coordination Council comprised of the Texas Water
Commission, the Texas Department of Health, the Texas Air Control Board,
and the Railroad Commission. The Council has been charged, in part, with
consideration of the use of incentives to encourage waste minimization.

waste before taking it to a landfill.
The Waste Reduction Program within ATS awards research, development,
and demonstration grants; conducts audits on a limited basis; and maintains a
technical reference library. Audit manuals are currently being developed for
specific industries. The Resource Recovery Unit, also within ATS, promotes
recycling and resource recovery. The unit operates the California Waste
Exchange. Municipal waste is managed by the Division of Recycling in the

Alaska (R,S,F)
The Alaska Health Project is currently the lead organization for
waste minimization activities. Not a State agency, but a non-profit
organization, the Project works closely with the Alaska Department of
Environmental Conservation (DEC), EPA Region X, the University of Alaska
School of Engineering, and the Small Business-Development Center.
The Alaska Health Project operates two projects: the Waste Reduction
Assistance Program (WRAP), which was initially funded by EPA RCRA Section 8001
grants; and the Hazardous Materials Management Project (HMMP), which is
funded by a foundation and provides educational outreach. Both programs
are geared for the small quantity generator. Specific activities include
a technical assistance hotline, onsite audits, seminars and speeches,
and publications (e.g., "Profiting from Waste Reduction in Your Small
Business").
In addition, a bill was recently introduced into the Alaska House of
Representatives which would establish a waste reduction revolving loan
program for small businesses. The Department of Commerce and Economic
Development would administer the program.

The program in Oregon initially started in 1987 with a RCRA. ง8001
grant and is now funded by generator fees. The program, located in the
State Department of Environmental Quality, has produced literature, a

to evaluate source reduction and recycling alternatives in their operations
and to develop processes for actually preventing the generation of wastes.
Plans would be reviewed at the time of compliance inspections. It is
believed that success depends on the concurrent development of a technical
assistance program.
Washington (R,S)
In 1988, the Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling was created in the
Solid and Hazardous Waste Program in response to Substitute House Bill 1340.
The office is responsible for multi-media waste reduction efforts and
for technical assistance to local government and industry. Workshops and
seminars have been provided; more are planned.

The many efforts in waste minimization in Region III have been due
in a large part to the research involved with this flERIT report and
to the RCRA Section 8001 grant program.
The RCRA Section 8001 grant program funded innovative waste inanage-
tuent projects. Several of those receiving fiscal year 1985 and 1986
funds addressed waste minimization activities (see Appendix 10),
Particularly noteworthy are the projects of the Northeast Industrial
Waste Exchange, the Hazardous Waste Facilities Siting Board of Maryland,
and the Center for Hazardous Materials Research. The Waste Exchange
significantly increased its visibility through publicity and advertising
and so increased its listings of materials wanted and materials
available. The Siting Board is developing a computerized advisory
program which will introduce generators to possible means of minimizing
waste. This project, which is still in progress, has grown through
additional grant funds from the State of Illinois and EPA HQ. And,
the Center for Hazardous Materials Research initiated a comprehensive
technical assistance program for small quantity generators in Pennsylvania.
The results have been noteworthy, including a waste minimization
manual which recently won an EPA award.

In January 1988, the Delaware Environmental Legacy (a planning
group created by the Governor in 1986) issued its report on long-
term environmental management. Its strategy follows:
Step 1 - Reduce to the greatest extent practicable, the produc-
tion of waste.
Step 2 - For waste that cannot be reduced at the source, reclaim
or reuse to the maximum extent practicable including
reclamation of existing landfills. Provide for the
processing of 100 percent-of municipal solid waste through
reclamation facilities by the year 2000.
Step 3 - For waste that cannot be reclaimed or reused and for
the residuals of the reclamation process itself, provide
environmentally safe disposal facilities with incineration
as the preferred means of disposal.
Step 4 - For wastewater residuals (non-hazardous sludges and
septage) and animal wastes, land treatment should be
practiced to the maximum extent to make use of the
nutrient content of the materials while reducing impacts
on landfill space and the environment.
The recommendation:
The State should coordinate development of a State and industry
supported awareness and technical assistance program aimed at reducing
the generation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. The Delaware
Development office should provide a clearinghouse function with the
Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC)
and other public agencies (with support from the private sector)
providing the technical assistance.
DNREC has surveyed states to collect waste minimization information
and has conducted multi-media regulatory inspections. The Department
had applied for a RITTA grant but was not chosen. The Department
had proposed to have a committee of college and university personnel
develop a multi-media environmental training program, including
industry-specific materials. Target groups would have been State
personnel, industry, and students. The demonstration project would
have provided on-site technical assistance in specific small quantity
generator industries.
V-4
-------
The Department has applied for a Source Reduction grant. The
work proposed differs significantly from that in the RITTA proposal.
The Department would like to add two positions an overall program
coordinator and an environmental scientist to work directly with
industry. The work would consist of several projects:
ฐ expansion of the existing beach cleanup program
o in-house paper recycling (*)
o technical assistance through the University of Delaware ex-
tension service
o development of a waste reduction process course by the Delaware
Technical and Community College; the course will be for industry
and will probably use EPA's audit manual
o placement of interns into industry; the cost to be paid by the
industry (*)
o development of a multi-media inspection manual
o creation of an information clearinghouse
(*) = These two activities will begin shortly and will continue
even if Delaware is not a grant recipient.

The District's office of Pesticides and Hazardous Waste has not
done any significant activities with regard to waste minimization. This
is due in large part to the small number of generators (and most of
those are small quantity). The office did not apply for a RITTA
grant, and will not be applying for a Source Reduction grant. .Another
District office, however, did apply. The District's Department
of Public Works is proposing four activities related to recycling:
o collection of glass, aluminum, plastic, and newspaper from
multi-unit apartment buildings;
o collection of glass and aluminum from restaurants, hotels,
and bars;
o collection of newspapers at Metro rail subway stations; and
o establishing a recycling education center to provide
information to the public and meeting rooms for their use.

In addition, the District has two major offices that assist small
businesses:
o The Office of Business and Economic Development works to attract
and retain businesses, partly by delivering financial, management, and
technical assistance.
o The Minority Business Opportunity Commission monitors governments'
compliance with minority participation regulations and offers technical
assistance to certified minority businesses.
V-7
-------
There has been quite a lot of activity in Pennsylvania in the
area of waste minimization. Several groups have been involved. On
July 15, 1986, the Environmental Quality Board of the PA PER adopted
the "Pennsylvania Hazardous Waste Facilities Plan." The plan
recommended four programs:
- A Technical Assistance Program to be operated by a consortium
or organization such as the Pennsylvania Technical Assistance
Program (PENNTAP). PENNTAP is a small business technical
assistance program funded by the Pennsylvania Department of
Conmerce and Pennsylvania State University. The program
should focus on small and medium-sized generators.
- A Loan Program, administered by the Commonwealth, with a
special board appointed to approve loans. Loans should be
available for investments in equipment whose primary purpose is
reducing waste per unit production.
- An Awards Program, operated by the Commonwealth, to recognize
and publicize businesses which make significant accomplishments in
source reduction.
- An Education Program to be operated as part of the Department's
overall program of educating the regulated community. The new
program should focus on the opportunities and benefits of source
reduction and the sources of technical and financial help.
The PA DER has taken steps to implement this strategy. Two
specialists are on board, fact sheets have been prepared, a Governor"s
Waste Minimization Award program is in place, and grants have been
given to the Center for Hazardous Materials Research (CHMR), not PENNTAP,
to conduct applied research, technical assistance, and educational
activities.
CHMR has been one of the major forces in Pennsylvania. Located
at the University of Pittsburgh Applied Research Center, CHMR began
its technical assistance program through a RCRA Section 8001 grant
from Region III. Under that grant program, an information clearinghouse
and hotline were set up, seminars were held around the state, on-
site technical assistance was given, an award-winning manual and a
newsletter were written, and a Statewide conference held (from that
conference came a report recommending steps to be taken). CHMR has
secured additional funds to keep its program going. Assisting CHMR
with coordination and marketing was the Pennsylvania Environmental Council,
located in Philadelphia.
V-10
-------
CHMR has also become involved in assisting the University of Pittsburgh
revamp its engineering program. The Center will receive part of a
$1.4 million grant from the Westinghouse Foundation to form a
Manufacturing Systems Engineering Program. Engineering students will
learn how to manufacture products that are environmentally safe,
economically sound, and internationally competitive. Waste minimization
will be part of the training.
The Pennsylvania Technical Assistance Program (mentioned earlier)
is manned out of Penn State University. While involved in a number of
technical realms, PENNTAP does offer assistance in waste management,
including waste minimization.
Other groups involved somewhat are the League of Women Voters, the
Ben Franklin Partnership (a State program to create and retain jobs
through advanced technology), the Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association,
the Pennsylvania Business Roundtable, and Carnegie-Mellon University
(the University developed a general waste minimization plan for the State
in April 1988).
PA DER had applied for a RTTTA grant, but was not chosen. DER
had proposed to train its staff and industry representatives in
waste minimization, and conduct on-site audits in the selected
industries of steel, metal fabrication, electronics, machinery/ and
dry cleaners. DER decided not to apply for a.Source Reduction Grant.

The Virginia Waste Management Act, Article 1, Section 10-265 and
Section 10-266, created a Virginia Waste Management Board which is
authorized to "Promote the development of resource conservation and
resource recovery systems and provide technical assistance and advice
on resource recovery systems." In Article 5 of the same Act, Section
10-287, which deals with siting hazardous waste facilities, states
"the responsible State agencies shall encourage alternatives to land
burial of hazardous wastes which will reduce, separate, neutralize,
recycle, exchange or destroy hazardous wastes whenever possible."
The Office of Policy and Planning of the Department of Waste
Management has the major responsibility for promoting waste mini-
mization in Virginia. The Office has sponsored conferences where
waste minimization was discussed, has set up a toll-free- hazardous
waste hotline, sends out speakers who talk about waste minimization,
and has seen that its staff has been trained. The Office has no
enforcement responsibility and no regulatory mandate.
Research on waste reduction has been conducted by the Virginia
Toxics Roundtable, a group composed of industry, academic, and
environmental representatives. In an October 15, 1987 report, the
Roundtable concluded that a technical assistance program should be
established by the Commonwealth. As a result of this report, the
Virginia General Assembly has committed $370,000 for the period
July 1, 1988 through June 30, 1990 to establish a "Resource Discovery"
program. Two positions have been approved; one for a process engineer,
the other for a program manager planner. These are currently being
filled.
Virginia had applied for a RITTA grant but was not chosen. The
Department of Waste Management proposed to work with Virginia Common-
wealth University, Virginia Polytechnic, and the University of
Virginia to accomplish the following:
o hazardous waste and waste minimization training for State
personnel, and
o technical assistance to the metal manufacturing and finish-
ing industry of Virginia.
V-12
-------
The State also applied for a Source Reduction grant. The proposed
work is similar to that of the RITTA proposal; however, the training will
be expanded to include industry and local government, and the technical
assistance will be expanded with industry-specific literature developed.
In addition, funds are being requested for a two-year position which will
develop a technical information clearinghouse specific to Virginia industries.
This clearinghouse will also aid Virginia in completing its capacity assessment
and in looking at the possibility of forming a State waste exchange.

West Virginia's waste minimization program, within the Department
of Natural Resources, is in its infancy. Currently, the State is collect-
ing information on other State programs. West Virginia would like to
concentrate its efforts on small quantity generators because it believes
large businesses are in better positions to help themselves. It would
also like to utilize large businesses to train small businesses. Ideally,
the Department of Natural Resources would like two to three technical
staff dedicated to small quantity generators and waste minimization.
(Currently, just one staff member is working on those issues part-time.)
The Department did not submit an application for a RITTA grant, but
did submit a proposal for a Source Reduction and Recycling grant. The
State has proposed to assist the wood treatment and metal plating
industries in implementing hazardous waste minimization through improved
housekeeping and system monitoring.
Other offices in the State are also available to help businesses.
The major organization is the Small Business Development Center Division.
Services include startup counseling, loan packaging, training, and
managerial and technical assistance.

VI. CONCLUSIONS
A. Needs Within Region III
Within Region III, needs are similar to those across most of the nation:
. There is a need to determine the best ways to communicate information
to regulatory personnel, politicians, industry, and the general
public in order to effect change.
. There is a need to set up multi-media lines of communication within
the Region and out to the States, HQ, and other regional programs in
order to not duplicate efforts and to move ahead quickly by using
the knowledge of others' experiences.
. There is need for more definitive data on current and projected
waste production, current and projected waste management capacity,
and the probable effects of implementing waste minimization in
various industries in the Region.
. Regulatory barriers at both the State and Federal levels need to be
identified and eliminated.
. Resources need to be identified which will support an effective
Regional program.
VI-1
-------
B. Means for Financing Activities
As mentioned earlier in this report, EPA HQ will be providing
several Regions with positions and additional funds to work on pollution
prevention. However, even with additional resources, the universe of
affected persons, persons who need to be reached, is very large, too
large for even an expanded staff. This means that the Regions must: (1)
carefully choose their activities; (2) look for resources in other program
areas that can be used for this purpose; and (3) seek assistance from
outside organizations.
To explain:
(1) Activities must be prioritized. The expected effect of each
possible activity should be estimated. How many persons will be
reached? Is there expected to be a ripple effect from the activity
(will the knowledge spread to others)? Will the activity directly
decrease the quantity or toxicity of waste produced? The expected
effect should then be compared with the resources needed. This
should be done in a qualitative manner, ending up with prioritized
groupings of possible activities.
(2) The availability of additional EPA resources that may be tapped must
be investigated.
. Funds for MERIT projects such as for the. development of this report.
Region III is planning, in fact, to carry on with this work through
a Pollution Prevention MERIT whose format and content are
currently being developed.
. Funds given for RCRA program work, such as travel funds, training
funds, or state program funds. And, states may receive money
for waste minimization activities through their state program
grants.
. Funds for Superfund work, particularly for the capacity assurance
required under SARA Section 104(k). This work will provide
state-by-state information on hazardous waste generation and the
state's capacity to manage that waste. Expected minimization
may be calculated and used to help meet the capacity assurance
requirement.
. Funds from other EPA program areas since the concept is multi-media.
(3) Funding and work assistance available from outside organizations
must be defined.
. A large number of foundations exist that fund environmental
projects. Although EPA and, most likely the States, could not
receive funding directly, EPA may act as a facilitator. The
beginnings of such a program are already in place in Region III
VT-2
-------
in its Institute for Environmental tlanagement in the Environmental
Services Division (mentioned earlier in this report). The program
hopes to first, match foundation funds with non-profit organizations
and universities; and second, to advise foundations as to which
environmental projects are believed to be worthwhile. In this
way, those projects the Region would like to see completed but
cannot afford to fund, can come to fruition.
Free work assistance may be available through universities,
environmental groups, senior citizen clubs, industry associations,
Chambers of Commerce, and the League of Women Voters. The key
is that the projects would need, in some way, to benefit both
the EPA and the volunteer group. Also, the media may provide
free assistance through publicizing information provided to them.
VI-3
-------
C. Recommendations
1. Costs Zero or Minimal
. Review 1987 biennial report waste minimization summaries from
HQ when they become available.
. Work with HQ in determining which Federal regulations act as
disincentives to pollution prevention. Also examine the
liability laws that discourage waste exchange.
. Determine possible additional sources of funding within the Region,
HQ, Cincinnati, and the States.
. Further develop the Regional multi-media advisory committee recently
formed. Define target groups for initial Regional communications.
. Begin training Region III State technical personnel by sending
literature, the movie "Waste Not," and a training tape of
recent in-house training to State training contacts for their use.
. Use the Cooperative Environmental Management Message (CEM-Message)
system recently established by HQ to communicate information to
other environmental professionals in government, academia, and the private
sector.
. Publicize success stories through EPA documents, the media, and
newsletters of organizations (such as industry associations).
. Contact technical and business management departments of universities
to determine if they send speakers out to industry. (Drexel
University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for instance, offers
a free Visiting Professor Lecture Series.) If so, encourage
speakers on pollution prevention.
. In addition, encourage technical and business management universities
to modify their curricula to take into account multi-media pollution
prevention in manufacturing. (The University of Pittsburgh is already
developing such a program.)
. Contact groups who might offer volunteers for specific projects.
. Meet with and encourage private consultants to offer services in waste
minimization/pollution prevention.
. Participate in "Industry Day" sponsored by the Pennsylvania Water
Pollution Control Association.
VT-4
-------
. Document success stories that occur in the Region and submit the
information to national and Regional information clearinghouses.
. Encourage firms that have implemented successful waste minimization
programs to share that information with their trade associations
or with other firms in their industry.
. Devise a means for determining projects the Region would like to
see accomplished; then match up non-profit groups or universities
with foundations that might supply the funding.
. Encourage banks/loan institutions to give loans for waste minimization
modifications. Encourage business assistance organizations to issue
loan guarantees.
. Appoint one person in each Regional program area as the pollution
prevention contact person. (This has begun with the organization
of the multi-media advisory committee).
. Look into giving out Regional awards for pollution prevention activities;
encourage pollution prevention employee suggestions (possibly combine
this with an EPA award program); hold a pollution prevention contest"of
some sort for elementary and high school level students.
. Encourage States to look into giving tax incentives for pollution
prevention activities; suggest Federal tax incentives to Congress.
. Develop an official Regional pollution prevention communications policy-
Incorporate pollution prevention communication into performance standards.
. Take steps to recycle paper and metal cans in the Regional office.
. Look into the Region increasing purchases of recycled materials.
. Contact Federal facilities to encourage waste minimization.
. Look into establishing State waste-end taxes on generators to help pay
for State programs; suggest Federal taxes to Congress.
. Encourage the formation of industry-specific workgroups to discuss
problems and discover solutions.
. Encourage industry to look for markets for their wastes (to think of
wastes as industrial byproducts): waste exchanges can help in this
regard.
. Encourage schools and large companies to set up internal waste exchanges,
and to perform experiments on a microscale level when possible.
. Use existing waste production data to estimate potential waste reduction
by waste type and to prioritize pollution prevention projects.

Postal Service about issuing a series of "Pollution Prevention
Pays" stamps.
Ask for assistance from the Council for the Advancement of Science
Writing, a group founded by journalists for the purpose of advancing
the scientific knowledge of print and broadcast journalists.
Encourage the insurance industry to require plans and commitments
for waste reduction as a condition for companies obtaining pollution
liability insurance. Already, the high cost of the insurance is
acting as an economic incentive.
Incorporate pollution prevention into EPA Regional enforcement decisions/
corrective action measures.
Work with Region III States to help them determine which of their
regulations and permit conditions act as disincentives to pollution
prevention. Begin this after the determination has been made on
Federal regulations and permit conditions.
Examine Regional and Regional/State procedures which act as disincentives
and which can be modified. (For instance, permit modifications in
order to implement waste minimization might receive high priority.)
Incorporate pollution prevention activities into State work
programs in all program areas. Assist in reworking resource
allocations.
Secure graduate students under the National Network for Environmental
Policy Studies program to assist with pollution prevention projects.
In the same vein, secure co-op students to assist with projects.
Give literature and information to business assistance groups (such
as Small Business Development Centers); lawyers that help businesses
incorporate; and banks that finance start-up projects and/or waste
management projects so that they can pass information along to
newly forming manufacturing businesses.
Encourage the EPA Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response to
offer a series of courses in waste minimization which would be open
to EPA and non-EPA employees. (Currently planned is one course
to be offered only in a few Regions.)
Routinely repeat in-house pollution prevention training for
new employees and for those unable to attend previously. Develop
and give new training as significant new information arises.
Sensitize employees.
See that pollution prevention information is included in
relevant electronic bulletin boards.
Encourage special projects in the Regional office (possibly
through the MERIT system) that address pollution prevention.
VI-6
-------
2. Funding Needed
. Assist States in setting up technical assistance programs. Encourage
onsite visits by people with field experience. Use contractors as
necessary.
. Contract a study to determine the most effective ways to communicate
the concept of pollution prevention to various groups in order
to effect long-lasting change. The contracted group should
consist of a behavioral psychologist, a sociologist, and a
marketing/communications specialist.
. Establish pollution prevention roundtables in each State which would
include representatives from EPA, from other Federal agencies,
States and local governments, environmental groups, industry, and
universities. Roundtables would address State-specific issues, develop
State-specific plans, assist in implementation, and monitor progress.
An important initial task for the roundtables would be to target
industries for initial communication. This may be based on
capacity shortfalls, most prevalent industries or waste categories, or
industries with the best chances for waste minimization based on
case studies.
. Attend national workgroup meetings such as Woods Hole, the National
Roundtable of State Waste Reduction Programs, and others as
they arise.
. Invite experts in to speak and answer questions. Record sessions for
viewing by States and other interested groups.
. Secure contractors to retrain EPA. and State inspectors to use a multi-
media approach.
. Send Regional speakers out to interested groups (non-profit groups may
legally contribute to travel expenses).
. Hold a Regional conference to exchange information with outside
concerns.
. Obtain existing waste management teaching plans for lower elementary,
upper elementary, and high school level students; modify as necessary;
and distribute to schools within the Region.
. Print "Pollution Prevention Pays" on all EPA stationery.
. Develop a general brochure on pollution prevention which includes
information from all media areas, such as contact persons, major
publications available, what has been accomplished, and plans for
the future.
VI-7
-------
. Develop industry-specific and waste-specific literature.
Unfortunately, progress as a result of these activities will be
difficult to measure quantitatively. Units of measurement are not
standardized, and company operations vary widely. Still, quantitative
data (such as changes in loadings discharged) will be available every
two years through Congressionally mandated biennial reports.
Progress may also be looked at on a more qualitative basis. What
were the activities and the success stories? What more was accomplished
this fiscal year than last?
Fiscal year 1989 will see Region III progress significantly with
implementation of EPA's new mandate: a multi-media program to eliminate
waste at the source.
VI-8
-------
D. Tracking Progress
Numerous problems exist with trying to standarize the amount of
waste eliminated or made less toxic through waste minimization activites.
For instance,
. What is baseline?
. What units should be used? Weight per item of production? Cost
savings per item of production? Reduction in toxicity (and
how would that be measured)? Weight or cost savings per some of
unit of time?
. Can all interrelated factors be quantified as to their effects
on the resulting decrease?
. Does the resulting decrease in waste production or toxicity
remain constant over time? How do the decreases relate to
changes in production output?
. What are the effects of human factors?
EPA HQ, however, is trying to get some indication of waste
minimization activities through questions asked of large quantity
generators in the biennial reports mandated by Congress. The
reports basically ask for changes in the quantity of waste generated
per unit of production. These reports, which also ask for information
on the changes put into place, are submitted to EPA every two years.
Currently, data are being collected for the 1987 calendar year.
Although the system is far from perfect, it is probable that most of
Region Ill's numerical waste minimization data will come from this source.
Along the same lines, some States will begin asking generators
waste minimization data on their quarterly, biannual, or annual reports.
These reports will provide another source of information for the Region.
Progress may also be looked at on a more qualitative basis. What
is EPA Region III doing this fiscal year that it did not do last
fiscal year? What activities have been implemented? Were they judged
to be effective? Approximately how many generators were impacted and
on what levels? Have State programs progressed? What are the success
stories? What did we learn? What do we still need to accomplish?
Region III will most likely look at both of these ways to evaluate
its program. Evaluation is important in order to gauge effectiveness
and to recognize the need (if it exists) to change strategies.
Evaluation is additionally important in this situation because, as
mentioned earlier, if EPA HQ determines that sufficient progress has
not been made, its 1990 Report to Congress may recommend a full
regulatory program.

EPA Region III
Waste Minimization Strategies Survey - Part 2
General Description of Your Program (organization, budget (who funds), goals,
groups targeted, ways of measuring progress, etc*)
Organizing the waste reduction program via focusing on 1) Industry
type via waste audit studies, and 2) waste stream type via study and symposia
(see attached). Funded by state revenues colledted via taxes on hazardous
waste and its management. Goal is to promote waste minimization, -with an
emphasis on source reduction. Groups targeted are all generators and waste
management services, with focus on small quantity generators.
Progress is measured on the short-term/by^tne interest showed by the targeted
groups; in the intermediate term(two to five years) by the extent of targeted
groups reached and the level of source reduction implementation; in the
long term (beyond five years) some measure of waste reduction achieved
could be attempted, such as a mail survey, reporting records study, etc.

SUMMARY:
KEY WORDS:
This technical assistance report provides
extensive resource information on Federal and
state waste minimization activities. Waste
minimization background information is provided
including terminology definitions, regulatory
status, and a list of incentives and disincentives
companies encounter when trying to establish waste
minimization programs. Activities of EPA
Headquarters, EPA Cincinnati, Office of Technology
Assessment, Department of Energy, and the
Department of Defense are included with contacts
provided for each. Contacts are also provided for
each state and region listed. EPA Region Ill's
current and proposed activities are described in
detail state by state. Again, contacts are
provided. This report contains the conclusions of
including needs within Region III, means for
financing activities, and recommendations.
Appendices include an organizational chart of the
Risk Reduction Laboratory, a map of U.S. EPA
Regions, completed survey forms, and lists of
states receiving RITTA Grants, states submitting
Source Reduction and Cooperative Agreement Grant
proposals, hazardous waste minimization contacts
by state, organizations involved in hazardous
waste minimization, major regional exchanges,
established national periodicals that address
hazardous waste minimization, and Region III RCRA
