Pollution Prevention Program Clause Samples

The Pollution Prevention Program clause establishes requirements for implementing measures to minimize or eliminate the release of pollutants during operations. Typically, this clause mandates the development and maintenance of procedures, employee training, and the use of best available technologies to prevent contamination of air, water, or soil. Its core function is to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and to proactively address pollution risks, thereby protecting the environment and reducing potential liabilities for the parties involved.
Pollution Prevention Program. The goal of the Division’s Pollution Prevention Program is to make pollution prevention the environmental management tool of first choice in Colorado. The Pollution Prevention Program does this by promoting and supporting long-term process improvements and best management practices that reduce or eliminate waste before it is generated in household, government, commercial and industrial scenarios. Program staff is becoming increasingly involved in Economy, Energy and Environment (E3) activities by partnering with the Colorado Association for Manufacturing and Technology.

Pollution Prevention Program. In 1992, the Colorado Legislature enacted the Pollution Prevention Act (§§ 25-16.5-101 et seq.), C.R.S., establishing pollution prevention as the environmental management tool of first choice. Pollution prevention remains a high priority for the Department and the APCD; the Colorado Legislature recently reaffirmed its commitment to pollution prevention activities by authorizing low cost loans to companies that desire to employ pollution prevention, toxic use reduction, source reduction, resource recovery, and energy efficiency measures, under the Environmental Leadership Program. The quantity of waste generated from a process provides an indication of the efficiency of that process: more waste is generated from a less efficient process. Reducing inefficiencies typically results in long-term cost savings for a company. Increasing process efficiency is a major component of pollution prevention activities. In many situations, pollution prevention is analogous to the business concept of continuous improvement. Many pollution prevention projects improve process efficiency and product quality, and save money. Pollution prevention not only improves a company’s bottom line through reduced operating costs, but it also improves working conditions and environmental quality. Therefore, common sense shows that pollution prevention should be integral to continuous improvement efforts. It is the Department’s policy that whenever feasible pollution or waste should be prevented or reduced at the source, including: (1) reduction in the production or use of hazardous substances; (2) pollution or waste that cannot be prevented should be recycled in an environmentally safe manner; (3) pollution or waste that cannot be prevented or recycled should be treated in an environmentally safe manner; and (4) disposal or other release into the environment should be employed as a last resort and should be conducted in an environmentally safe manner. Further, to preserve and make more efficient use of our limited natural resources, the use of recycled products rather than raw materials should be encouraged whenever feasible. The Pollution Prevention Program staff encourages pollution prevention through its coordination with the Pollution Prevention Advisory Board, created by the 1992 Pollution Prevention Act, businesses, trade associations, academic institutions, environmental, nonprofit and citizen groups, and local governments. The staff have developed “Pollution Prevention Tool Kits” f...

Pollution Prevention Program. The city proposes to modify its next NPDES permit to reflect its par­ ticipation in Project XL by requiring a pollution prevention component to its Industrial Pretreatment Program. The pollution prevention component in­ volves changes in the city’s survey, monitoring, and reporting requirements. Specifically, the city will make changes in its Industrial Waste Survey by focusing on sewer system subbasins at key man- holes to learn if it is possible to identify where in the city certain pollutants predominate.
