• Technical Feasibility-The is no currently available technology to reuse, recycle, or <br /> resell the hazardous metal dust-waste generated by Star Buildings discovered here in <br /> California. Disposal with a licensed wasted management facility is the only course <br /> available at this time. Continued research into the possibility of a recycling agency <br /> will be ongoing. <br /> • Economic Evaluation-N/A. There are no economic impacts to evaluate until <br /> technology advances on waste reduction. <br /> • Effects on Product Quality-N/A. There are no projected effects on produa quality. <br /> • Employee Health& Safety Implications -N/A. There are no projected impacts on <br /> employee health and safety. <br /> • State, Local, Federal Law Compliance-All procedures would continue compliance <br /> with all regulations. <br /> • Releases &Discharges - If any recycling agency can be found, there would be an <br /> elimination of the amount of hazardous waste requiring disposal, but not a reduction <br /> of the amount of waste generated. With the projected increase in business activity, <br /> the amount of generated waste is expected to rise overall. Current technology only <br /> provides for disposal or recycling choices, not for reducing the amount of waste <br /> generated from this particular process. There would be no transference of emissions <br /> and discharges to any other environmental media- air, water, or land - as a result of <br /> success in finding a recycling agency. <br /> The new laser cutting system generates a small amount of hazardous waste in both weight <br /> and volume, the current lack of a recycling agency for the metal dust has not created a <br /> increase in the amount of waste requiring disposal for 2002. When a suitable recycling <br /> agency can be found, the overall waste generated will have been reduced by the new laser <br /> cutting system and hazardous waste disposal will be eliminated. <br /> (g) A timetable for making reasonable and measurable progress in implementation of the <br /> selected measures for the hazardous metal dust-waste stream: <br /> A projected time-line of one year, by the end of 2004, is expected to be needed to research <br /> all possibilities of a waste recycling agency that can handle the metal dust generated by <br /> Star Buildings. Star Buildings will strive to find a comparable recycling outlet in this region. <br /> Star Buildings commits to research into new technologies on a continuing basis with a yearly <br /> review of the processes. <br /> (h) A four year numerical goal for reducing the generation of hazardous waste streams through <br /> the selected measures: <br /> N/A under the definition of source reduction requiring action before a waste is generated. <br /> CCR Section 67100.1, (n) (1), and(2). For the four year time period of January 1, 2002 <br /> through December 31, 2006, Star Buildings will strive for a 12.5% reduction in the amount of <br /> hazardous waste requiring disposal by source reduction measures specified in the Plan. <br /> Business is expected to increase approximately 15%per year during that time frame. The <br /> overall amount of waste generated is expected to increase with the increased business <br /> 15 <br />
