Potential Workbook" (Jacobs Engineering) . The methodology presented <br /> in the workbook is based on industrial studies undertaken for the EPA. <br /> For each industry studied, an estimate of the potential impact of <br /> applicable reduction and recycling measures was developed. The waste <br /> minimization technologies considered are limited to source reduction <br /> and recycling. _ <br /> A element in developing waste minimization estimates involved <br /> key e e R 9 _ <br /> surveying the largest generators in the County during 1986. The <br /> survey focused on determining what industrial process each generator <br /> used and estimating the waste minimization potential for that process. - <br /> Table 6-6 presents projections for hazardous waste generation, <br /> assuming the implementation of moderate waste minimization. Moderate <br /> minimization is defined as the implementation of a single waste _ <br /> minimization practice, such as substituting a non-hazardous solvent <br /> for a hazardous solvent. Based on the application of the Jacobs waste <br /> minimization method, an estimated 20,011 tons of hazardous wastes are <br /> expected to be generated in the year 2000 (Table 6-7) . This compares <br /> with 20,482 tons in the year 2000 assuming that waste reduction will <br /> not be implemented. <br /> The actual rate of waste reduction by the major generators in the <br /> County is expected to exceed the very modest 2 percent reduction <br /> calculated by the Jacobs Method. In 1987, for example, a survey of <br /> the top 15 generators in the County indicates that these companies <br /> reduced their 1986 wastes by an average of about 59 percent. Included <br /> in Appendix A is a table showing the percentages of hazardous waste <br /> reduced by each of these generators. _ <br /> PJ9 9390502D.00D 6-6 Rev. 1 11/08/88 <br />
