Advanced Interconnect Technologies <br />Source Reduction Plan <br />Page 8 <br />treated with metal trapping polymers which precipitate the <br />lead into a sludge which is then passed through a filter <br />press to separate residual liquids for re -treatment. The <br />filter press is cleaned after each treatment and the lead <br />sludge is placed in a metal drum. <br />6. Source Reduction Measures <br />6.1.1. The primary objective of this phase of the Plan are to develop and screen <br />source reduction measures, to conduct a detailed analysis of potentially <br />viable source reduction measures, and to set up an implementation <br />schedule for the selected measures. <br />6.1.1.1. Screening source reduction measures requires that at least the <br />five approaches mandated by SB14 are considered. The five <br />mandated approaches are: <br />6.1.1.1.1. Input changes, such as raw materials changes that <br />reduce the amount of hazardous material entering the <br />production process which generates the hazardous <br />waste. <br />6.1.1.1.2. Operational improvements, such as loss prevention, <br />waste segregation, production scheduling, and overall <br />site management. <br />6.1.1.1.3. Production process changes, such as process <br />changes, changes in production methods, equipment <br />modifications, changes in process conditions, <br />automation, and return or reuse of materials. <br />6.1.1.1.4. Product reformulations, such as changes in design, <br />composition, or specification of final or intermediate <br />products. <br />6.1.1.1.5. Administrative steps, such as inventory control and <br />employee programs. <br />6.1.1.2. Each of the above approaches is then analyzed for potential <br />viability by considering the following evaluation criteria mandated <br />by SB14. <br />6.1.1.2.1. The change in the amount of hazardous waste <br />generated. <br />
