Creating A Pollution Prevention Management Program

What is a Pollution Prevention Management Program?
A Pollution Prevention Management Program is summarize as an established, extensive, and continuous effort to systematically decrease or eliminate pollution and wastes.

Why is Pollution Prevention Management important?
Management in pollution prevention can modernize regulation compliance's, improve employee safety, assist in the reduction of costs for pollution control and waste disposal, and reduce the liability associated with the management of hazardous commodities and wastes.

Program Conditions:

(A) Illustrate administrative support to ensure that pollution prevention management is installed and implemented as coalition objectives. In order to demonstrate these techniques of administrative support, use procedures such as:

-- Establish and distribute the management policy on pollution prevention
-- Determine specific objectives for reducing waste volume and toxicity
-- Appoint program coordinators
-- Promote and acknowledge achievements
-- Provide proper training in pollution prevention management

(B) Identify waste production and waste management costs. Assert a waste accounting system to monitor the types and amounts of wastes and hazardous elements. Determine costs affiliated with waste management and cleanup. Include costs of loss of production potential, regulatory error agreement, paperwork and materials in the waste stream.

(C) Establish an assessment which identifies pollution prevention alternatives by analyzing sources of pollution and waste and
by investigating clean production technologies options. Conduct frequent pollution prevention management assessments to ensure that proper pollution prevention opportunities continue to be researched throughout the procedure where materials can be prevented from becoming waste.

(D) Establish a cost appropriation system wherever practical and feasible. Allocate the true costs of waste management to the parties and activities responsible for initiating the waste. Departments and managers and responsible associations should be charged "full-loaded" pollution control and waste management costs. All outlining costs such as regulatory compliance, disposal, labor, liability, and oversight costs should all be included.

(E) Promote technology and information transfer. Consult technical manuals and specific types of processes and industries, wastes, and to review case studies that have been developed. Numerous successful techniques have been documented that may be appropriate to your agency. Investigate and apply appropriate information which can be procured from federal and state agencies, trade associations , universities, and other associations.

(F) Provide feedback and identify potential areas for improvement and review program effectiveness periodically.
