<br />'-1 <br /> <br />10. <br /> <br />Quantity di sposed on-site: Report each hazardous substance that is ultimately <br />disposed of on the same site as the manufacturing facility. This category includes <br />settling ponds, irrigation, on-site landfills and land treatment (i.e., incorpor~ting <br />waste into soil for treatment). If there is any volatilization of a hazardous sub- <br />stance into the air during the disposal on-site, that amount must be included in <br />output type 5 (quantity emitted to the air). <br /> <br />'1- <br /> <br />!!" <br /> <br />11. <br /> <br />Inventory at the facility at the end of the accounting period: Report the unused <br />quantity of the substance that is remaining on-site on December 31 in purchased <br />or manufactured condition. This does not include the quantity of the substance <br />used in the manufacturing process that is waste waiting for treatment or disposal <br />(i.e., output type 4, waste stored at the facility). <br /> <br />f <br /> <br />c. Degree of Precision: For the purpose of reporting, decimal amounts (rounding to one <br />decimal for hazardous substances and to three decimals for extremely hazardous sub- <br />stances and extremely persistent bioaccumulative toxins) are to be used only .whe~ the <br />whole number of pounds for hazardous substances is less than 10 and for extremely <br />hazardous substances or extremely persistent bioaccumulative toxins less than 1. <br /> <br />D. Expected Accuracy of Reporting: The Toxics Board recognizes that measurement to <br />the level of the smallest accounting units will be difficult or impossible to achieve in <br />many cases. Businesses are expected to do their best to be as accurate as possible, and <br />each input/output category should be reported in a discrete number of pounds. See <br />"Degree of Precision" above. Reporting in ranges, as is done for the State Fire Marshal, <br />is not acceptable. <br /> <br />Businesses are expected to use the best information that is <br />already available to them. See Section V, Recordkeeping. <br />Businesses are not expected to purchase new monitoring or <br />measuring equipment for the purposes of reporting, unless <br />such-equipment is required by Federal or State regulatory <br />agencies. Neither are businesses required to perform additional sampling or laboratory <br />analysis in order to generate input/output reporting data. <br /> <br />See Appendix F, <br />Questions 4344 <br /> <br />" I! <br /> <br />The basis for reporting should be internally documented by the facility. <br /> <br />E. Priority System for EstimatinglDetermining Input/Output Amounts: Businesses are <br />expected to use information that is already available to them, using the priority system <br />(M>C>E>O) described below. A business may be asked to explain its choice of estima- <br />tion method in an audit. <br /> <br />The priority system (M>C>E>O) is intended as a general guid- <br />ance for estimating amounts. However, in certain cases, method <br />E (estimate b~ed on emission factors) may yield better data than <br />method C (estimate based on mass balance), and should be used. <br /> <br />See Appendix F, <br />Questions 4344 <br /> <br />15 <br />
