What is a toxics use reduction plan?
After 1994 each firm must prepare a plan documenting how they will use TUR techniques to reduce the generation of wastes. Each plan must provide a corporate policy statement and two- and five-year goals for by-product reduction of each listed chemical. In addition, each plan must include information about current and projected toxic chemical use, the technical feasibility of implementing various techniques, and the economic impacts of each technique; a description of each technique or procedure that is to be implemented; and a schedule for implementation. Each plan must be certified by a state-authorized Toxics Use Reduction Planner. A planner may be either an accredited employee of the firm or a licensed consultant.
