11 n fl i } Inputs of reportable hazardous substances that came to the facility as an article may be calculated by summing the reportable outputs (fumes, dusts, grindings, and any other fractions that are released to the environment). However, input category 3, produced on- site, should not be used. This category is reserved for chemicals created from other chemicals during a facility's processes. Instead, input categories 1,2, and 4 should be used as appropriate. f'-' ~ \ i J (1 , ~ J j Metal Fumes, Dusts, and Filings: Report hazardous substances that are fumes, dust, filings or grindings that result from the manufacturing process of an article that consists of or contains the hazardous substance. The portion of the article that is not converted into fumes, dust, filings or grindings is not reportable. " Ii i F. Metals and Metal Compounds: Determine which of your metals and metal compounds are on the Chemical List, and which are not. F or those that are listed with a specific name, e.g., "lead phosphate," report these substances as you would any other reportable hazardous substance, subject to the thresholds given in Section VI-G. For metal com- pounds that are not listed with a specific name but fit into a generic category, e.g., "lead compounds," report the aggregate amounts of these compounds. in the appropriate input catego- ries, and if the reporting thresholds are exceeded, in the output categories as well. However, do not report in the generic cate- gory those substances that were reported under a specific name. This will avoid double counting. " r ~ ) See Appendix F, Questions 1-17 " ., i , 1 Example: Lead, lead phosphate, and lead compounds are each listed as reportable. If a business has a lead input and manufactures lead phosphate, it would first do materials accounting for the inputs and outputs of lead, including its incorporation into lead phos- phate during manufacturing (output types 1 or 2). Then the business would do materials accounting for the inputs (in this case, produced at the facility, type 3) of lead phosphate, and account for its outputs. If the lead phosphate is subsequently converted into another . lead compound that is not specifically listed, the business would include the new lead compound in its materials accounting for "lead compounds." In the latter case, the amount of "lead compound" would be aggregated with other amounts of "lead com- pounds," if any, that are used by the facility in the manufacturing process. G. Threshold Amounts for Reporting: To help make reporting feasible, the Toxics Board has developed the following policies. If you do not know whether a chemical is report- able, or how it should be reported, contact the Eugene Fire Marshal's Office at 682-8390. 1. Minimum Amounts for Individual Chemicals: Total inputs of a single chemical must meet the smallest accounting unit threshold (2.2 pounds for hazardous substances and 0.022 pounds for extremely hazardous substances and extremely persistent bioaccumulative toxins), or else that chemical is not re- portable. For radioactive substances, see Section VI-D. See AppendiX F; Question 39 10
