<br />E. 41'aste Minimization/Pollution Prevention
<br />Fl'aste minimization and pollution prevention are two terms that are becoming increasingly more common in industry today. Waste
<br />minimization includes reducing the amount of waste at the source through changes in industrial processes, and reuse and recycling
<br />o r wastes for the original or some other urpose (such as materials recovery or energy production). Pollution prevention goes
<br />li tnd-in-hand with waste minimization. I~he waste is eliminated at the front of the line, it will not have to be treated at the end of
<br />the line. The direct benefits to the industry are often s[gniftcant, both in terms of increased profit and in ublic relations. This
<br />program can affect a[I areas of process and waste control with which an industry deals. Elimination or reduction of a wastewater
<br />pollutant can also result in a reduction in an air pollutant or a reduction in the amount of hazardous materials that must 6e handled
<br />or disposed.
<br />Tiiis discharge permit does not spect~catly dictate waste minimization conditions at this time. The Division does strongly encourage
<br />the permittee to continue working in developing and implementing a waste minimization plan. Several industries have already
<br />developed plans and found that implementation resulted in substantial savings. Both the Colorado Department ofPublic Health and
<br />Environment and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have information and resources available. For more in-depth
<br />inFrmation, please contact these agencies.
