Attachment B. throughout the manufacturing process, the unit size of which weighs more than 1 gram (0.0022 pounds), that is used by a facility in whole or in part, without undergoing any chemical changes, in manufacturing of a product or a portion of a product, and that does not release a reportable hazardous substance under normal conditions of the processing of that item at the facility. Any fumes, dusts, and grindings of reportable hazardous substances that are created during processing, or any portion of the original article that is sent to a public landfill, waterway, or otherwise released to the environment, are reportable. The remainder of the article which remains unchanged after processing is not reportable. practice is also acceptable. 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. processes. Instead, input categories 1, 2, and 4 should be used as appropriate. 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. Metals and Metal Compounds Determine which of your metals and metal compounds are on the Chemical List, and which are as you would any other reportable hazardous substance, subject to the thresholds given on page 15. For metal compounds that are not listed with a specific name but fit into a generic category, ounds in the appropriate input and output categories. However, do not report in the generic category those substances that were reported under a specific name. This will avoid double counting. 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 phosphate 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 manufacturing process. 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 reportable, or how it should be reported, contact Toxics Program staff at 541-682-7118. - 15-
