b. Operational improvements, such as loss prevention, waste segregation, <br /> production scheduling, maintenance operations, and overall site manage- <br /> ment. <br /> c. Production process changes, such as process changes, changes in <br /> production methods or techniques, equipment modifications, changes in <br /> process operating conditions (i.e., temperature, pressure), process or plant <br /> automation, or the return of materials or their components for reuse <br /> within existing processes. <br /> d. Product reformulations, such as changes in design, composition or <br /> specification of final or intermediate products. <br /> e. Administrative steps, such as inventory control and employee programs. <br /> Administrative steps include good operating practices that apply to the <br /> human aspect of conducting day-to-day operations at the facility. These <br /> include employee training, incentives, bonuses and other such programs <br /> that encourage employees to strive for reducing hazardous waste. The <br /> focus should be on preventing the generation of hazardous waste. <br /> n <br /> 2. To conduct a detailed analysis of potentially viable source reduction measures. = <br /> 3. To set up an implementation schedule for the selected measures. <br /> rD <br /> The generator's evaluation of potentially viable source reduction measures must consider <br /> the following seven factors: <br /> 1. Expected change in the amount of hazardous _ <br /> rD <br /> waste generated; <br /> 2. Technical feasibility; <br /> 3. Economic evaluation, such as capital cost, <br /> Sip operating cost, waste management cost, <br /> Tip return on investment (ROI), breakdown <br /> point, avoided cost, pretax payback period, <br /> or any other economic comparison method; <br /> 4. Effects on product quality; <br /> 5. Employee health and safety implications; <br /> 6. Permits, variances, compliance schedules or <br /> applicable state local and federal agencies; <br /> and <br /> 7. Releases and discharges. <br /> If a specific factor does not apply in the evaluation, the <br /> Plan must identify that factor as not applicable (N/A). Any pertinentinformation, such as <br /> the constituents of wastes streams or the concentrations of constituents, needed to evaluate <br /> and implement source reduction measures must be included in the Plan. <br /> 39 <br />
