pounds of paint used per year ersus the total pounds of paint waste generated must be the basis for comparison. The verall amount of waste generated is expected to increase with increased business activity, ut the percentage of waste generated is expected to be reduced. As of reporting/baseline ear of 2002, the amount of paint used was 199,740 pounds with 33;120 pounds of waste enerated. Based on the projected business activity increase,the projected amount of paint sed is estimated to be 229,701 pounds for the year 2003 with 37,900 pounds of paint waste enerated without source reduction measures implemented. With implementation,the mount of paint waste generated is estimated to be 36,000 pounds, a net result of 5% source eduction of dried paint waste. The following source reduction measures have been considered for CSC #172 Metal Dust Hazardous Waste Stream: NOTE: There is no technology available to change the components that go into the laser cutting process with this particular type of laser cutter. Therefore reduction measures considered are after the fact of generation. 1) Recycling of Metal Dust or 2) Selling accumulated Metal Dust to steel recycling agencies: • Input Changes - N/A. The same raw material - 55 KSI mild steel would be used. • Operational Improvements -N/A. Until there are improvements in technology,there are no projected operational improvements. • Production Process Change -N/A. The laser cutting process was recently started at the end of 2000, and the evaluation and research into possible source reduction measures are still underway. • Product Reformulations -N/A. There is no technology currently available to reformulate the content of the waste generated in this process. • Administrative Steps -There are no plans for further employee training in the process because employees are not the determining factor in the amount or type of waste generated. There will be a need for employee training when there are the available options to recycle or resell the current metal dust. The chemical content of the metal waste has been analyzed and possible users of the waste have been contacted. As of this point in time,they do not have any way to reuse or recycle the metal dust. Star Buildings, will continue to explore options and search for a recycling facility here in California. However, there will be ongoing research into any technological advances into the laser cutting process and source reduction alternatives prior to the waste being generated. Proper monitoring of filter systems for peak efficiency will be an ongoing function of possible hazardous waste reduction. Evaluation of the considered source reduction measures: (1) and (2). • Change in Hazardous Waste-No change in the amount hazardous waste is foreseen at this time. 14
