� J • Change in Hazardous Waste -There would be significant reduction in the amount of dried paint waste generated. • Technical Feasibility-The project is technically feasible and a facility with such a system has been visited, investigated, and reviewed by Steve Wareing, Manufacturing Engineer. • Economic Evaluation -The economic impact would be in excess of$3 million for a comparable system just to build and equip. This is determined to be cost prohibitive for Star Buildings. There is also an undetermined economic impact of production shut down and delays involved in a switch over to the new system, the subsequent training requirements and process of employee teaming curves, and the loss of competitiveness in the business market while product completion is delayed for the customers. • Effects on Product Quality- There would not be any marked improvement in product quality. • Employee Health& Safety Implications-There are no implications for employee health and safety. • State, Local, Federal Law Compliance-The proposed measure would be in compliance with all regulations. • Releases and Discharges-There would not be a significant reduction in fugitive emissions released into the atmosphere. There would be a significant reduction in the amount of hazardous dried paint waste generated. • New air quality control permits would be required for any new process installation, or equipment modification. This measure was thoroughly researched and evaluated as the best possible measure for the ultimate goal of reducing emissions and hazardous paint waste. However,the measure is not selected for possible implementation due to the cost prohibitive nature of the system and co-lateral effects of implementing this system. 2) Employee training in waste minimization,hazardous material handling, and emergency spill response as well as better and more efficient work practices, including, but not limited to: • More efficient handling of the 50 gallon drums of paint to reduce the amount of paint wasted as unusable or leftover paint. • More efficient use of the HVLP spray system by the use of proper spray painting techniques to reduce over spray without affecting product quality; • Evaluation of work procedures focusing on techniques to reduce or eliminate potential spills; • Evaluation and implementation of more efficient house-keeping measures overall, including traffic in, and access to,waste generating and storage areas; To routinely inspect storage containers and hazardous waste labeling. 3) Management of Star Buildings demonstrating a commitment to the reduction of hazardous paint waste through all means possible including: ll
