considered is the final cost to the end-user and not simply the cost of the ingredient product. {EXAMPLE: Rigid, ozone-depleting foam insulation is used in the construction of some buildings. An alternative type of insulation could be an acceptable substitute if its use did not cause the final cost of the building to be any higher for the building purchaser.}; (2) A product is readily available if it is for sale in any of the states of Oregon, Washington or California in sufficient quantities to meet the commercial need for the product in Eugene; and (b) The use of the alternate product will not pose threats to the public health and safety. In determining the safety of a product, the following shall be considered: (1) Any product or compound on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency1s (U.S. EPA) Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) list shall be considered as meeting all the safety requirements of this rule; (2) When comparing two products that are ozone depleting, the Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) index shall be considered when this data is available from the U.S. EPA. A product containing ozone- depleting chemicals with an ODP index of 0.5 or less may be consider as an acceptable alternative product; (3) Products that are not listed on SNAP may be considered as safe substitutes for ozone depleting products if it is shown that the following physical and chemical characteristics are acceptable when the substitute is used in the same applications as the ozone depleting products: chemical stability, corrosiveness and flammability. In addition, both short and long term human, plant and animal direct toxicity shall be considered. In applications where a substitute product is likely to react chemically to produce additional chemicals, the direct toxicity of the reaction products shall also be considered. The addition of ozone-depleting products under this subsection shall be accomplished by amending Appendix A of this rule in the manner set forth in R-6.725- C-1 of this rule. 2. Exclusion of Products from Prohibition. If the City Manager determ ines, based on the criteria set forth in R-6.725-D-1, that an ozone-safe substitute is no longer available for a product listed on Appendix A of this Rule, the product shall be removed from Appendix A and added to Appendix B (Ozone- Depleting Products not Prohibited). Removal of the product shall be accomplished by amending Appendix A and Appendix B of this rule in the manner set forth in R-6.725- Ozone Protection Administrative Rule - 5 10/17/95
