STORMWATER POLLUTION
PREVENTION
We minimize the potential to contaminate
stormwater discharges from our facilities.
Operations periodically assess their potential
to pollute stormwater and implement
appropriate controls to minimize impacts,
documenting these in Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plans.
Operations monitor and control the
application of landscape chemicals, such as
fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, to
minimize impacts to stormwater.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Operations implement programs to minimize
the discharge of waste materials into the
environment.
Operations set annual goals for continuous
improvement in waste prevention and
recycling.
When environmental benefits outweigh other
considerations, operations recycle, compost,
recover and/or reuse incoming materials andpackaging, as technologically and
economically feasible.
Operations repair and remanufacture
equipment to increase useful working life.
Inefficient or obsolete equipment is recycled
to prevent inefficient reuse.
Operations establish environmentally
responsible waste storage practices,
such as:
- segregating hazardous and non-hazardous wastes
- controlling litter, odors and pests
- conducting routine inspections of wastestorage areas
- implementing stormwater pollutionprevention controls
Operations use only qualified contractors to
transport or dispose of site-generated
wastes and maintain documentation,
updated annually, to verify contractors'qualifications.
When available, operations use only
government-approved sites for waste
disposal.
Operations evaluate waste disposal sites
before use and periodically thereafter to
verify and document site acceptability.
Operations do not permit the on-site bur
disposal, or open burning of wastes. Wh
on-site incineration is required, facilitiesprovide suitable incinerators to minimize
environmental impact and comply with
applicable laws and regulations.
As appropriate and in line with the princi
of shared responsibility, operations suppo
and cooperate with public, private and
governmental organizations' efforts to
implement anti-litter campaigns and
integrated solid waste management
programs.
