Included are evaporation, leakage, or releases <br />from the following sources: blending operations; transfer operations; charging <br />and discharging reaction vessels; storage piles and tanks; leaking seals, pumps, <br />flanges, valves, etc.; furnaces or kilns; open vats or pits; crushing, pelletizing or <br />grinding operations; and loading and unloading operations. <br /> <br />6. <br /> <br />Quantity discharged into puhlicly treated sewage: Report the quantity of the <br />substance discharged into the wastewater collection system (sanitary sewer). <br />Report the actual amount of the hazardous substance, not the total discharge. <br /> <br />7. <br /> <br />Quantity released into surface waters: Report the quantity of the substance dis- <br />charged directly into surface waters, other than quantities that went to surface <br />waters via the sewer system (output type 6). This would include storm water <br />runoff and any spills that ran into surface waters. <br /> <br />8. <br /> <br />Quantity eliminated through treatment at the facility: <br />Report the quantity of the reportable hazardous sub- <br />stance that was destroyed or neutralized through on-site <br />treatment processes, including gaseous, wastewater <br />(aqueous), liquid (non-aqueous), and solid. Destruction may include any process <br />that changes the physical, chemical, or biological character or composition of the <br />substance so as to neutralize or chemically decompose the waste. If during treat- <br />ment new reportable substances are created that leave the facility as other forms of <br />output, they must be reported as inputs of type 3 (produced at the facility) and as <br />outputs. <br /> <br />See Appendix F, <br />Question 46 <br /> <br />Example: A facility uses nitric acid and sodium hydroxide for neutralization. <br />During the process they react to form water, nitrate and sodium ions. Both the <br />nitric acid and the sodium hydroxide are treated and neutralized in the process. <br />The mass of sodium nitrate produced must be calculated and is reportable as a <br />nitrate compound (water dissociable). <br /> <br />9. Quantity eliminated through energy recovery at the facility: Reportable energy <br />recovery is the combustion of residual material containing a hazardous substance <br />when (a) the combustion unit is integrated into an energy recovery system (boil- <br />ers, industrial furnaces and industrial kilns), and (b) the substance that is combus- <br />tible has a heating value high enough to sustain combustion. <br /> <br />Metals and metal compounds cannot be reported in this output because they are <br />not combustible. The metal component of the material being combusted could be <br />in the ash or could be in the exhaust. If it is in the ash, the metal component that <br />is a hazardous substance would be reported as output of type 3 (quantity trans- <br />ferred away from the facility as waste), or output of type 10 (quantity disposed <br />on-site), depending on what happens to the ash. If it is exhausted, it would be <br />reported as output of type 5 (quantity emitted to the air). <br /> <br />14 <br />
