EXAMPLES: <br />1. A company uses a reportable substance to wash machinery. Some of <br />the substance goes down the drain, and the rest is wiped off with rags, <br />which are placed in a bin and later hauled away. The percentage of <br />the substance that is on the rags may be determined based on the <br />company's best engineering judgment, since it is unlikely that actual <br />measurements of either output are being made. <br />2. In the same scenario, if the company does have information allowing <br />it to calculate the amount of the reportable substance that is being <br />released down the drain to the publicly owned treatment works, then <br />the difference between that amount and the total amount used can be <br />assumed to have been hauled away as waste, with the rags. <br />3. In manufacturing its product, a company applies an adhesive <br />containing a reportable substance. The company later trims the <br />product, generating some percentage of waste. Again, that percentage <br />may be determined based on the company's best engineering <br />judgment, unless it is possible to make a more accurate determination <br />based on information that is readily available. This could include the <br />weight of unfinished product minus the weight of finished product, if <br />those quantities are measured. Again, no additional measurements <br />not otherwise being taken are necessary. <br />g. Best information readily available. See Question 49 in Appendix F. It is not <br />the policy of the Toxics Right -to -Know Program to require businesses to <br />purchase new equipment or take additional measurements. Businesses are of <br />course free to do so at their discretion in order to improve the quality of the <br />information reported. As a general rule, however, information that is not <br />available is not reportable. <br />2. Review Appendix F to this handbook, "Questions from Businesses /Answers from <br />Toxics Board," to see if there is additional guidance that might be helpful in your <br />particular circumstances. <br />3. Technical assistance is available free of charge from the Toxics Program staff, 541- <br />682 -7118. Technical assistance is also available for a fee, from a private consultant. <br />Environmental & Ecological Services are listed in the Yellow Pages. <br />4. Begin preparing your report soon after the end of the calendar year, while there is <br />still ample time to gather and organize your information. Do not postpone it. <br />5. Remember that the intent in enforcement is to be helpful and not punitive. The <br />Toxics Board and City staff are more interested in providing complete and accurate <br />information to the public than in assessing fines. Fines are only assessed in the event <br />of egregious violations, and never for a first offense. <br />mom <br />
