Vista waste definition currently used in our waste minimization program is sufficient in scope to conform to CMA's definition for the WARR Code. ("Clean" stormwater and products of combustion are not part of our inventories.) 2. Documentation for the evaluation forms should be provided with the forms when sent back to me. This can be a simple listing of activities or projects done or in-progress that demonstrates why you believe your plant is at the stage you indicated. SPECIFIC ELEMENTS 1. For Item I, all plants should indicate Level V. This is based on the following. a. Establishment of environmental policy b. Establishment of a formal waste minimization programs c. Plant goal setting in waste reduction areas d. Specific project examples 2. Waste inventories completed based on Vista's waste minimization program definition is sufficient for this evaluation 3. For this element the term "evaluation" should be considered to include the following activities: a. Air modeling of emissions to assess health risks b. Volume and toxicity prioritization c. Consideration of odor and/or nuisance effects d. Potential for release pathway consequences (i.e. groundwater to usable aquifer vs. air emissions) e. Ambient monitoring areas potentially impacted by air emissions f. Employee or public feedback g. Technological feasibility of reduction methods h. Regulatory requirements If any combination evaluate reduction available. of the above have been used to prioritized project feasibility documentation should or be 4. This element includes initial communication with employees and public about waste and emission inventories and impact. If only employees but not the public have been contacted or communicated with, then Stage III is prcbably the most descriptive. If you've communicated about SARA 313 emissions, remember these are considered part of the "waste" inventories. VVV 0000X3087 i Q o. This element: includes considering Che results of elements 3 and 4 to establish reduction goals, qualitative or quantitative. 6. The only qualifier for this element is that 313 paperwork reductions don't count for this evaluation. 7. This element is tied to element 2. The score of this cannot be higher than element 2 and based on current activities and the fact that most locations have just completed an initial inventory. The score probably should be Stage III. 8. The score on this element is tied to element 4 and cannot be higher than that element. This element is similar to element 4 but encompasses ongoing dialogue and "progress" reports to the same audiences. 9. If no specific projects can be cited at your location, you should score a Stage III based on the environmental policy adoption. 10. The definition of others includes customers, industry neighbors, trade association efforts, industry consortiums, etc. This is the most vague element. Call me if you want to discuss activities that should count. (S ATTACHMENT A April 6. 1990 Responsible Care: A Public Commitment WASTE AND RELEASE REDUCTION CODE OF MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Purpose. This Code is designed to achieve ongoing reductions in the amount of ail contaminants and pollutants released to the air. water, and land from member company facilities. These reductions arc intended to respond to public concerns with the existence of such releases, and to further increase the margin of safety for public health and the environment. The Code is also designed to achieve ongoing reductions in the amount of wastes generated at facilities. These reductions arc intended to help relieve the burden on industry and society of managing such wastes in future years. In implementing the Code, each company should strive for annual reductions, recognizing that production rates, new operations, and other factors may result in increases. Despite these fluctuations, however, the goal is to establish a long-term, substantial downward trend in the amount of wastes generated and contaminants and pollutants released. Quantitative reduction goals will be established for giving priority to those pollutants, contaminants and wastes of highest health and environmental concern. This Code complements, and should be implemented in conjunction with current and future Codes of Management Practices. Key terms arc defined in the Glossary, which should be consulted for assistance in interpreting the provisions of this Code. Relationship to Guiding Principles. Implementation of this Code helps achieve the following Guiding Principles: o To recognize and respond to community concerns about chemicals and our operations; o To operate our plants and facilities in a manner that protects the environment and the health and safety of our employees and the public; wVV 000013089 & 10 jQ Waste and Release Reduction Code April 6, 1990 -- Page 2 o To make health, safety, and environmental considerations a priority in our planning for all existing and new products and processes; o To extend knowledge by conducting or supporting research on the health, safety, and environmental effects of our products, processes, and waste materials. o To promote the principles and practices of Responsible Care by sharing experiences and offering assistance to others who produce, handle, use, transport, or dispose of chemicals. Management Practices. Each member company shall have a waste and release reduction program which shall include: 1. A clear commitment by senior management through policy, communications, and resources, to ongoing reductions at each of the company's facilities, in releases to the air. water. and land and in the generation of wastes. 2. A quantitative inventory at each facility of wastes generated and releases to the air, water, and land, measured or estimated at the point of generation or release. 3. Evaluation, sufficient to assist in establishing reduction priorities, of the potential impact of releases on the environment and the health and safety of employees and the public. 4. Education of. and dialogue with, employees and members of the public about the inventory, impact evaluation, and risks to the community. 5. Establishment of priorities, goals and plans for waste and release reduction, taking into account botli community concerns and the potential health, safety, and environmental impacts as determined under Practices 3 and 4. 6. Ongoing reduction of wastes and releases, giv ing preference first to source reduction, second to recycle, reuse, and third to treatment. These techniques may be used separately or in combination with one another. 7. Measurement of progress at each facility in reducing the generation of wastes and in reducing releases to the air, water, and land, by updating the quantitative inventory at least annually. 8. Ongoing dialogue with employees and members of the public regarding waste and release information, progress in achieving VVV 000013090 Waste and Release Reduction Code April 6, 1990 -- Page 3 reductions, and future plans, This dialogue should he at a personal, facc-to-face level, where possible, and should emphasize listening to others and discussing their concerns and ideas. 9. Inclusion of waste and release prevention objectives in research and in design of new or modified facilities, processes, and products. 10. An ongoing program for promotion and support of waste and release reduction by others, which may, for example, include: a. Sharing of technical information and experience with customers and suppliers; b. Support of efforts to develop improved waste and release reduction techniques: c. Assisting in establishment of regional air monitoring networks: d. Participation in efforts to develop consensus approaches to the evaluation of environmental, health, and safety impacts of releases; c. Providing educational workshops and training materials; f. Assisting local governments and others in establishment of waste reduction programs benefiting the general public. Industry Trend Data. To develop and maintain statistical industry trends. CMA will collect currently available data. Each company shall report annually to CMA, or its designated agent, for each facility: o Releases of substances as reported under SARA Section 313; and o Wastes generated, as defined and reported in CMA s annual hazardous waste survev. Member Self-Evaluation. Each member company shall report annually to CMA, or its designated agent, the stage of implementation of each management practice in this Code. The reports shall be on the member self-evaluation form attached as Attachment B.

Note that these definitions may be broader than regulatory definitions, and that adherence to this Code does not relieve a company of the obligation to meet Federal, state and local regulatory requirements. Facility - A site used for chemical manufacturing, processing, refining, packaging, R&D, distribution or related commercial activity. Recycle A practice which regenerates or processes a material from a process to recover a useable product or material for reuse. Release - Any emission, effluent, spill, discharge or disposal to ihc air, land, or water, of any pollutant or contaminant, whether routine or accidental, at or from a facility. The term does not include shipment nr distribution of chemical product, nor release to the environment as part of normal and intended use of a product by the consumer. Rcosc * A practice that rccmplovs a material from a process either ns an ingredient in a process to make a product, or as an effective substitute for a commercial product in a particular function or application. Source Reduction - A practice that reduces the amount of any release or waste generated at the source, including closed loop recycle and reuse before exit from a process. The term includes, among other practices, equipment and technology modifications, process and procedure modifications, reformulation and redesign of products, substitution of raw materials, and improvements in housekeeping, maintenance, training and inventory control. Treatment - A practice, other than recycle or reuse, that alters the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics or the volume of a waste through a process or activity separate from the production of a commercial product or the provision of a service. Waste - Any gas, liquid, or solid residual material at a facility, whether hazardous or nonhazardous, that is not used further in the production of a commercial product or provision of a service and which itself is not a commercial product. 13 n VVV 000013092 a ATTACHMENT 11 Responsible Care: A Public Commitment CHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION MEMBER SELF-EVALUATION FORM WASTE AND RELEASE REDUCTION CODE OF MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Member Company Name: ____ Responsible Care Coordinator Name: ________________ Address: ________________ Telephone: ( ) Number of facilities subject to Code 14 Q VVV 000013093 Q WASTE AND RELEASE REDUCTION CODE Instructions: !.

Wastes generated, as defined and reported in CMA1s annual hazardous waste survey. Annual report submitted* Annual report not submitted* Annual report not required to be submitted* *Enter number of facilities for which annual report to CMA has or has not been submitted. NOTES: 1. CMA expects to receive release data only from those facilities that are required to complete the Form R following the requirements in the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act (SARA) Section 313 and EPA's clarifying requlations and instruction* Companies, not required to report 313 release data to EFA, may volunteer to send release data to CMA. These facilities are not required to submit release data to CMA as an obligation of membership. 2. The 313 Form R release data are due to CMA on July 1, 1990, the same time these data arc due to L.S. EPA. These release data cover the calendar year 1989 and form the baseline for the CMA's industry- trend data. CMA will issue clarifying instructions about how companies can report these TRI data to CMA. CMA is looking at several options: o Submission of the same data as EPA requires. o Submission of aggregated facility totals by media. Companies are asked to await further instructions before sending CMA the 313 Form R's. 3. The first year for companies to complete CMA's annual Waste Survey as an obligation of membership under the Waste and Release Reduction Code will begin with the data covering the calendar year 1990. This survey will be sent to the Responsible Care Coordinators in the Spring of 1991. CMA will send the annual Waste Survey covering the calendar year 1989 to members in May 1990. Completion of the survey covering the 1989 calendar year remains voluntary. VVV 000013097 18 19 jOl attachment c WASTE AND RELEASE REDUCTION CODE OF MANAGEMENT PRACTICES QUESTION AND ANSWERS Is this a voluntary or mandatory policy? Answer: The Waste and Release Reduction Code of Management Practices has been developed under CMA's Responsible Care program. Adherence to the Responsible Care guiding principles is an obligation of membership in CMA. Must the Management Practices be completed in the specific order 1isted? Answer: The Management Practices arc laid out in a logically sequential pattern to complete a reduction project. The sequence should be generally adhered to although slight rc-arrangcmcnt under specific circumstances may be warranted. Since the scope of this policy covers all hazardous and non-hazardous wastes and releases, doesn't the Code require too much too fast or dilute the focus from hazardous pollutants? Answer: The public is not seeing or making a distinction between hazardous and nnn-hnzardous releases and wastes. Public opinion research shows that the public wants releases lowered and performance improved. This research indicates that the public is concerned about both chemicals and trash generated by industry. The definition of "hazardous" is not uniform throughout the United States, since many states have their own definitions that arc more restrictive than the federal EPA's. Furthermore, these definitions of "hazardous" keep changing over time. Each company is starting from differing points. Each company must identify its own reduction opportunities, identify the concerns of its own public, determine the reduction priorities and goals, and develop and implement its own reduction plan. The goal of this Code is continued performance improvement by a long term commitment to the reduction of wastes and releases. VVV 000013098 20 Questions & Answers about the Waste & Release Reduction Code April 10, 1990 Why does this Code appear to endorse reductions for reductions sake? Why should wastes and releases be reduced below health-based standards? Why should wastes and releases be reduced below levels allowed by statute, regulation, or permit? Answer: The public does not endorse the concept of "permitted" generation of wastes or releases to the environment. The public desires an increased margin of safety and environmental protection as a goal. If the policy is to address the concerns of the public, it must require sustained reductions. Is this Code a never-ending spiral of reductions? Answer: The policy is flexible so that each company can assess the viability of further reductions. Certainly, reductions will be sustained under the Code as long as they arc technically and economically viable. To the extent reduction options remain viable, the goal is to establish a long-term, substantial downward trend in wastes generated and releases to the environment. Will this Code cause members to accomplish substantive reductions? Answer: To achieve the goal of earning the public's trust through improved performance, real reductions must occur. Therefore, this Code has measurable implementation stages and industry trends data submission requirements. Does this Code apply to both large and small companies and facilities? Is there a threshold below which this Code does not apply? Answer: The Code applies to all members of CMA. Even a small company or facility can generate wastes and releases to the environment. There is no threshold for volume of wastes generated, releases to the environment, or size of facility below which this Code does not apply. Each compnny/fnciliiy will establish its own priorities. The Code env isions progress by all of industry in reducing wastes and releases. 000013099 Questions & Answers about the Waste & Release Reduction Code April 10, 1990 8. Does this Code apply to domestic or world-wide operations? Answer: The principles behind the Code arc universal in concept. The reduction of wastes and releases is good business and good citizenship. However, for purposes of CMA eligibility requirements, the Code applies to that portion of a corporation or company that is used to determine CMA dues. 9. What about multi-divisional companies? Does this Code apply to mining operations? Service stations? Warehouses? Answers: Adherence to the Code of Management Practices is a Guiding Principle of the Responsible Care program. The Responsible Care program is a membership requirement for those portions of a company that determine the CMA dues structure. The principle of reducing wastes and releases is responsible corporate behavior and should be encouraged throughout an organization. The Waste and Release Reduction Code of Management Practice is designed for flexible implementation by companies and facilities. Each company/facility must determine the reduction opportunities, priorities, baseline, and implement the reduction plan in accordance with these company/facility-dcrivcd goals. Inherent in this Code is the need to communicate with the public when determining reduction opportunities and priorities. Therefore, while the scope of this policy is broad, each company must identify the sources that are included in its implementation activities as well as the priority and liming for these reduction activities. 10. If all of the chemical industry is to be affected, how do we ensure fair and equitable reductions? How do we prevent competitive disadvantages among CMA member companies? Answer: The Waste and Release Reduction Code is predicated on making reductions that are economically and technically sound. The Code docs not envision enforcing competitive disadvantages on member companies by usurping their decision-making processes. Each company must evaluate its own reduction opportunities and develop its own reduction plan to meet company/facility priorities. 0000131 22 Questions & Answers about the Waste & Release Reduction Code April 10, 1990 11. If all of the chemical industry is to be affected, how do we ensure fair and equitable reductions? Now do we prevent competitive disadvantages with other industry segments? Answer: This Code will actually make our industry more competitive than those that do not embrace its concepts. Waste and release reductions will result in less wastes, improved efficiency, and make the industry a superior competitor. 12. Is this a non-growth Code? How can this Code be reconciled with the need for expansions? How are opportunities for emission offsets (needed for air permitting) to be preserved? Answer: This Code envisions a long-term, substantial downward trend in total releases to the environment and waste generation. However, the method of achieving reductions is left to the needs and priority determinations of the indiv idual member companies. The policy is not a no-growth policy; rather, it is a policy of balancing future expansions with future waste and release reductions. Voluntary waste and release reductions may be eligible to be banked with appropriate governmental agencies. Any plan for waste and release reductions must also plan to accommodate expansions. Public perceptions may ultimately require a waste and release reduction type program just as a condition to be able to construct or expand. Several states already have proposed such regulations. 13. .Won't this Code have enormous economic consequences? Answer: Waste and release reductions may or may not have a huge price tag. Some reduction projects, like fugitive emission abatement, tend to pay for themselves in recovered product(s); other projects may increase the price of doing business. Industry must be willing to invest in plants that will lead to a future with less wastes and fewer releases to the environment. The goal of Responsible Care is that the chemical industry will improve the performance of its operations constantly. In making reduction progress, each company must look at all the reduction opportunities and set their own priorities. Each company can set the scope of these priorities broadly or narrowly and implement actions at their own pace. vVV 000013101 23 Questions & Answers about the Waste & Release Reduction Code April 10, 1990 14. Does the hierarchy of reduction methodologies mean that all projects must use source reduction unless it is technically infeasible? Answer Each waste and release source must be evaluated for its reduction potential. The hierarchy requires that reduction projects for source reduction be evaluated before rccycle/reuse or treatment. However, the project to be implemented will depend on the evaluation. Technical infeasibility is only one of several facility and/or waste specific criteria that can lead to selection of a reduction project involving recycle/reuse or treatment. When developing their reduction priorities, companies may choose to consider other criteria including risk./benefit mechanisms, public concern, size of the facility, economics, and other factors such as conservation of resources. Each company must identify its own reduction priorities and implement a reduction plan to meet company/facilitv-sct goals. 15. This Code, as well as other codes under the Responsible Care program, require ongoing dialogues with employees and members of the public. Does each such Management Practice require a separate meeting? Answer: No. Meetings with employees or the public can have multiple agenda items. If several Management Practice items arc to be covered in a single meeting, all that is required is that the agenda and presentation clearly address each topic, rather than have a general "discussion of topics." Under the Responsible Care Program, the process to communicate with the public and employees is established under the Community Awareness and Emergency Response (CAER) Code of Management Practice. Companies arc encouraged to use the mechanisms set up under other codes to enhance effective implementation of the Responsible Care Program and to better use and conscnc company resources. VVV 000013102 24 Questions & Answers about the Waste & Release Reduction Code April 10, 1990 16. Is dialogue with the public required for all facilities? Answer: Meaningful dialogue is essential to better understanding public concern, improving the public's understanding of our operations, and building trust. Some facilities, due to size and location, may have limited opportunity for such dialogue. Where the opportunity for dialogue exists, even on a limited basis, it should be actively pursued individually or jointly with other neighboring companies/facilitics. 17. Should Individual companies and/or facilities submit to CMA the rationale behind the annual Industry Trend data submissions? Answer No. The data submitted for the Industry Trend Data reports need not have supporting documentation submitted to CMA. However, when discussing these data with the local public, it is assumed that general methods and assumptions will be discussed as part of the public education and dialogue process. 18. When completing the Self-Evaluation Form, must every facility attempt to progress through all the Implementation stages, or can some facilities "mature" their progress in code Implementation at less than full implementation? Answer: All participating facilities should work to achic\c full implementation of each Code and embrace the concepts of this Code in the spirit of the Responsible Care Guiding Principles. Depending on the size of a particular facility or (he activities carried on by that facility, a company may decide that different implementation methods arc appropriate. For example, a large facility may use formal procedures such as written policies and manuals and conduct formal employee meetings. Whereas, a smaller facility can accomplish the same implementation using less formal me'thods.
