rl ~ I n n [1 VII. HOW TO CALCULATE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS The electronic reporting software that will be supplied to reporting businesses will have fields to accommodate each input and output type. In reporting, it is required that total inputs and total outputs for each substance must balance to within the smallest accounting unit for that substance. A. Input Types: The law specifies four different types of inputs of hazardous substances: f 1 1 ! J .j ~ ! } 1l 1 ! i j 'Ii 1 .". ~. t J 1 l Ii 1 1. Inventory at the facility at the beginning of the accounting period: Report the quantity of each substance that is on-site on January 1 in purchased or manufac- tured condition. This does not include the quantity of a substance that is consid- ered waste waiting for treatment or disposal (see input type 2). 2. Waste stored at the facility at the beginning of the accounting period: Report the . quantity of the substance that is on-site onJanuary 1 that is waste. This is the portion of the substance that has been used in a manufacturing process and is. waiting for treatment or disposal. 3. Quantity produced at the facility: Report the total quantity of the substance pro- duced by chemical processes on-site during the calendar year. The total quantity includes material prepared in a production process whether as a final product or as an isolated intermediate, and quantities generated as waste that were not stored on-site on January 1 (Input #2). The quantities produced as transient, non-isolated intermediates should not be reported. 4. Quantity brought to the facility: Report the total quantity of the substance brought into the facility from all off-site suppliers, including other facility loca- tions and divisions of your own company, during the calendar year. B. Output Types: The law specifies 11 different types of outputs of hazardous substances: 1. Quantity consumed in the facility's processes: Consumed means "undergoes a chemical reaction to produce a new chemicaL" Reportable substances consumed in manufac- turing processes must be accounted since they represent a reduction of the quantity present. Reportable substances generated during consumption of another substance must be reported as inputs of type 3 in the section above. See Appendix F, Questions 50, 52, and 53 Transient intermediates, those compounds that are produced and then fully con- sumed in a continuous process, even if on the list of reportable hazardous sub- stances, are not reportable. 12
