Pollution Prevention is Everyone�s Business

The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is provided with the responsibility of encouragingpollution prevention practices under Parts 143 and 145 of Public Act 451, the Natural Resources and Environmen-tal Protection Act (NREPA). This legislation, originally authorized in 1987, and most recently amended under Act289, of the Public Acts of 1998, charges the DEQ with responsibility for:

• Incorporating pollution prevention goals within DEQ’s regulatory and permit programs; and• Informing, assisting, and encouraging reductions in environmental wastes to air, land, and water, with an

emphasis on in-plant pollution prevention.

The DEQ’s Environmental Assistance Division (EAD) has the lead for carrying out the legislative requirements ofParts 143 and 145, and works in partnership with businesses, institutions, local government, trade associations,universities, DEQ staff, and state government to fulfill this responsibility.

The legislation requires that DEQ publish and submit an annual report to the legislature and governor detailing theefforts it has undertaken during the previous fiscal year. The report reviews the state’s progress in pollution preven-tion and summarizes program accomplishments. It also provides an opportunity to acknowledge DEQ’s partners inpollution prevention and to outline initiatives anticipated for the next fiscal year.

This report summarizes the DEQ’s major pollution prevention activities in fiscal year 1998, a time period coveringOctober 1, 1997 through September 30, 1998. More detailed information is available on many of these programs,through published reports and on the EAD website. The EAD welcomes comments on the report and encouragesfeedback on the performance of its programs.

Annual Report to the LegislaturePollution Prevention

Year in Review

This has been a very significant year for pollution prevention in Michigan. Two major milestones areespecially noteworthy:

1. Passage of Public Act 289 of 1998, amending Parts 143 and 145 of the Natural Resources andEnvironmental Protection Act (NREPA) to permanently establish the Retired Engineer TechnicalAssistance Program (RETAP) and authorize a small business pollution prevention revolving loanfund program.

2. The approval of the Clean Michigan Initiative (CMI) ballot proposal, with $20 million dollars ofthe fund designated for pollution prevention programs, including RETAP and a small businessloan program. The ballot initiative was approved in November 1998.

Fiscal year 1998 saw significant growth in Michigan’s pollution prevention (P2) programs.• Over 200 Michigan facilities have made public commitments to pollution prevention under the

department’s partnership programs. Fifty-seven of these were added during the fiscal year.• The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) targeted its efforts to additional business sectors,

such as golf courses, under the Michigan Turfgrass Stewardship Program, and began a partnershipwith county public health departments.

• The department initiated a field operations program, placing Environmental Assistance Division(EAD) staff in selected district offices to offer pollution prevention assistance at the local level.

• As lead agency for the State of Michigan’s participation in the Green Lights program, DEQ wasable to report that lighting upgrades have been accomplished on over 15 million square feet ofstate facilities. This represents significant reductions in pollutants as well as $1.5 million dollarsin energy savings.

• The DEQ has implemented an estimated 65 percent of the recommendations in the MercuryPollution Prevention in Michigan Taskforce Report.

The DEQ’s pollution prevention technical assistance programs were strengthened in fiscal year 1998.The RETAP is now established as a permanent program with dedicated funding. This will ensure thatthe DEQ will be able to meet its responsibility of providing small and medium- size businesses withan assessment of their pollution prevention opportunities. To augment this program, the EAD hasdedicated two engineers to provide pollution prevention technical information to those seekingassistance, including the development of publications and the promotion of innovative technologies.The DEQ has also teamed up with other public and nonprofit technical assistance providers, to shareinformation and ultimately improve the delivery of technical assistance services in Michigan.

There are strong indications that programs to promote pollution prevention are paying off. Between1993 and 1996, air emissions and land releases combined, have resulted in approximately 25percent reductions in toxic chemicals released to the environment. Facilities have also reduced theamount of chemicals transferred off-site for further waste management such as recycling, energyrecovery, treatment, and off-site disposal.

Moving Ahead in Fiscal Year 1999

During fiscal year 1999 (October 1, 1998—September 30, 1999), the DEQ will focus its efforts onprogram development, expansion, and enhancement. The Clean Michigan Bond proposal, approvedin November 1998, allocates $20 million to pollution prevention. This includes $10 million for theRETAP program, $5 million for the establishment of a small business revolving loan fund program,and $5 million to effect widespread implementation of pollution prevention practices across thestate. It is DEQ’s goal to utilize these funds to:

• Initiate an expanded and enhanced RETAP program, serving up to 80 facilities this year, anddeveloping case studies and guidance materials;

• Establish the small business pollution prevention loan program, including promulgatingadministrative rules, developing program guidelines and application documents, undertakinginitial marketing and outreach activities, and developing financial instruments for awarding theloans; and

• Develop a proposal for the expenditure of the remaining $5 million, obtain public input, andmake recommendations to the Legislature for appropriations.

Additional program expansions and enhancements anticipated for fiscal year 1999 include:

• A geographic initiative to offer pollution prevention assistance to improve the environment ofLake St. Clair;

• Conducting a study on the costs and benefits of toxic materials accounting and toxic usereporting programs in other states and the federal government;

• Adding field staff at two more district offices;• Providing identified regulatory staff additional pollution prevention technical assistance training;• Undertaking a special effort to market the DEQ’s pollution prevention programs to small

businesses to facilitate their access to information and technical and financial assistance; and• Hosting the Great Lakes Regional Pollution Prevention Roundtable in August 1999.

What is pollution prevention?Pollution prevention eliminates or minimizes the generation ofwaste at the source and utilizes environmentally sound on-siteand off-site recycling where it is not possible to eliminate thegeneration of waste. Pollution prevention is distinguished fromother emission reduction activities such as alternative wastetreatment, release, or disposal techniques.

Pollution Prevention Strategy

In February 1996, DEQ adopted a Pollution Prevention Strategy to guide its efforts in promotingvoluntary pollution prevention throughout Michigan. The Strategy provides a five-year plan tobring information on available and cost effective waste reduction techniques to all potentialsources of pollution including service, commercial, and industrial businesses; governmental, andinstitutional organizations; trade and business associations; agriculture; municipalities; andhouseholds.

The department updated the Strategy in February of 1998 to reflect its pollution preventionaccomplishments and to incorporate changes in program priorities. The revised Strategycondenses twelve objectives into ten and identifies current and proposed activities required foraccomplishing these objectives. The Strategy will be revised again in 1999 to reflect amendmentsto Parts 143 and 145 of NREPA and the Clean Michigan Initiative.

DEQ Pollution Prevention Strategy(as revised 2/10/98)

1. Build awareness of pollution preventionthrough education and outreach services andactivities.

2. Develop new and strengthen existingvoluntary and cooperative approaches toachieve pollution prevention.

3. Integrate voluntary pollution preventionprinciples into DEQ environmentalregulatory programs.

4. Remove regulatory barriers and createincentives to encourage the adoption ofvoluntary pollution prevention principles.

5. Strengthen the delivery of pollutionprevention services.

6. Facilitate the adoption of pollutionprevention practices and technologies by allstakeholders.

7. Promote the implementation of pollutionprevention efforts in all state and localgovernment agencies.

8. Improve DEQ capabilities to generate,collect, and analyze pollution preventiondata to assess progress and programs, and toidentify further opportunities.

9. Identify, obtain, and utilize grant and otherfunding sources to advance the pollutionprevention goal.

10.Establish an effective communication/feedback mechanism that measures andobtains multi-stakeholder participation in thedevelopment and implementation of theDEQ’s Pollution Prevention Strategy.

The following table identifies the relationship of DEQ’s Pollution Prevention Strategy to EAD fiscalyear 1998 programs and initiatives. The table shows that many of DEQ’s programs meet morethan one of these objectives.

prevention within the district offices, and to bea pollution prevention information resource forregulatory staff and others. The EAD alsoinitiated an award program to recognize DEQregulatory staff for their pollution preventionintegration achievements and to increaseawareness of pollution prevention practiceswithin the DEQ. Director Harding presentedawards to staff representing the Air Quality,Surface Water Quality, and Waste ManagementDivisions during National Pollution PreventionWeek. DEQ staff receive a monthly electronicnewsletter, P2 Revue, which providessummaries of regulatory integration projectsand provides information on worthwhilepollution prevention resources. EAD also beganoffering lunch hour pollution preventionseminars at DEQ district offices where staff areprovided opportunities to learn about pollutionprevention programs and technologies. EADstaff have also been providing assistance toother DEQ divisions that are incorporatingpollution prevention into SupplementalEnvironmental Projects being considered aspart of individual enforcement activities.

In fiscal year 1999, DEQ will make furtherstrides to integrate pollution prevention withinthe regulatory programs. All DEQ divisions willidentify and report on pollution preventionregulatory integration activities. EAD field staffwill be hired for the Jackson and Saginaw Baydistrict offices to provide additional pollutionprevention support to district regulatory staff.Approximately 90 regulatory staff willparticipate in a three-day training in spring1999, focusing on how to identify and assessopportunities for pollution prevention within anindustrial facility.

Regulatory Integration of Pollution Prevention

www.deq.state.mi.us/ead/p2sect/p2revue/P2Revue

The DEQ emphasizes the importanceof providing regulatory staff withpollution prevention training andinformation to assist them in theirintegration responsibilities.

Regulatory Integration ofPollution Prevention

The DEQ regulatory integration programfocuses on utilizing the permitting, inspection,and enforcement programs to encouragesource reduction and recycling. This programseeks to avoid cross-media transfers of wasteby integrating pollution prevention into theoperation of environmental regulatoryprograms. Through their daily contacts withbusinesses, industries, and municipalities, theDEQ permitting, compliance, and enforcementstaff are in the best position of all agency staffto promote pollution prevention concepts on awidespread basis.

Major efforts to promote integration of pollutionprevention into the DEQ’s regulatory programsbegan in fiscal year 1996 when over 500

departmentstaff receivedintegrationtraining. Usingthe trainingexperience as abuilding block,staff at alldivisions and

levels of responsibility drafted the DEQPollution Prevention IntegrationImplementation Strategy. The IntegrationImplementation Strategy was formallyendorsed by Director Russell Harding inFebruary 1997. The goal of the Strategy is tofurther integrate and institutionalize pollutionprevention into DEQ regulatory policies,programs, and practices. By the end of fiscalyear 1998, approximately 75 percent of the goalsand objectives of the Strategy were complete.

In fiscal year 1998, three EAD field staff werehired for the Detroit, Plainwell, and Cadillacdistrict offices. The primary responsibilities ofthese new staff are to further integrate pollution



Pollution Prevention Week

September 21-27, 1998 marked Michigan’sthird annual observance of National PollutionPrevention Week. The purpose of PollutionPrevention Week (P2 Week) is to increasepublic awareness of the importance of pollutionprevention to environmental protection andeconomic prosperity. The DEQ undertook anumber of outreach activities to promote P2Week including:

• A direct mailing of a P2 Week flyer to over3,500 communities, organizations, andbusinesses;

• In conjunction with the MichiganDepartment of Education, a mailing toschool districts and teachers on ways toachieve environmental improvements alongwith a lesson plan called “P2 Toolbox”;

• The 9th Annual Pollution PreventionRoundtable, attended by over 100 pollutionprevention practitioners;

• Lunch hour seminars for DEQ regulatorystaff; and

• Development of a two-sided poster to thankthe DEQ’s pollution prevention partnersand explain the concepts of pollutionprevention.

P2 week is promoted by other state offices,local government, the business community andschools. Governor Engler issued an annualproclamation recognizing the importance ofpollution prevention in the state’s environmentalprotection programs. This year for the firsttime, the Michigan Legislature supported thepromotion of pollution prevention by passing aSenate Resolution in recognition of the week.As a result of P2 Week outreach efforts, morebusinesses than ever took part in promotingthis effort. Activities such as lunch andbreakfast seminars, school presentations,environmental fairs, and radio spots weresponsored by pollution prevention proponentsaround the state.

Toxic Chemical Release Inventory (TRI) Program:How it Relates to Pollution Prevention

In Michigan, there are over 900 facilities covered by the federal Toxic Chemical Release Inventory(TRI) program. These facilities annually report the amount of one or more of 650 chemicals andchemical compounds released into the environment, treated, and reduced through pollutionprevention. Recently, staff have begun utilizing this information as an indicator of the level ofpollution prevention activity in the state relative to the decrease in TRI releases and transferences.

On average, Michigan facilities have reduced releases of TRI chemicals over the past three years.Facilities have also reduced the amount of chemicals transferred off-site for further wastemanagement. Waste management activities include recycling, energy recovery, treatment, andoff-site disposal. The figures below show the quantities of TRI chemicals released or transferredoff-site in Michigan from 1993 to 1996.

Waste Management and Source Reduction

There is evidence that pollution prevention efforts have had a significant effect in Michigan, bothin reducing the amount of toxic chemicals being released to the environment and in the way toxicchemicals are managed. Since 1993, air emissions and land releases combined, have resulted inapproximately 25 percent reduction of toxic chemicals released to the environment, indicatingthat pollution has been reduced at the source.

Facilities have also made a dramatic shift in how they manage toxic chemicals (from 1993 to1996) by preferentially using recycling and energy recovery over the less desirable wastemanagement practice of “end of the pipe” treatment. In 1993, treatment represented about 44percent of the total amount of waste managed in the recycling, energy recovery, and treatmentcategories. By 1996, treatment represented only about 19 percent of the total. This representsnearly a 25 percent shift away from treating toxic waste to recycling or using energy recoverypractices. Recycling and energy recovery activities increased by 16 and 8 percent, respectively,from 1995 to 1996. It appears that the increases in recycling and energy recovery havecontributed to the decrease in the state’s total releases.

For more information on EAD Pollution Prevention and Community Right-to-Know programs,please check the website addresses listed under each topic throughout this report.

EAD Bulletin

The EAD produces a bimonthly newsletter entitled the EAD Bulletin that is distributed to over5,500 businesses, government, trade associations, academia, environmental interestorganizations, and the public. The newsletter provides information on legislative changes inenvironmental law, describes new pollution prevention programs, provides updates on newenvironmental customer services, and promotes training opportunities.

www.deq.state.mi.us/ead/bulletin/

Presentations and Events

In response to requests from various organizations, EAD provides environmental speakers,workshops, and conferences. Speakers provide informational presentations on pollutionprevention and the division’s assistance programs. The EAD also develops environmentaleducation and training workshops through planning committees and multi-organizational co-sponsorships to meet the needs of target audiences. In addition, the EAD incorporates pollutionprevention topics into other environmental workshops it conducts.

In fiscal year 1998, the speakers’ bureau responded to nearly 30 requests and over 1,000 peopleattended EAD-sponsored pollution prevention workshops held throughout the state. The EADcoordinated exhibits at 55 environmental events, promoting pollution prevention programs anddistributing pollution prevention materials. Among the pollution prevention events hosted by theEAD this year was the ninth annual Pollution Prevention Roundtable attended by 100 pollutionprevention professionals. This year’s theme was “Emerging Issues in Pollution Prevention.”

Other workshops held during the year included:

• EAD’s “Waste Reduction ‘97 - Tools to Improve Efficiency & Productivity” Workshop, held inDetroit. It included five concurrent tracks on the following: automotive pollution prevention,business pollution prevention, support systems and community development, energyefficiency, and new and emerging pollution prevention technologies.

• Lithographic printing industry workshops, covering many environmental compliance and



pollution prevention topics.• SARA Title III Tier Two training covering emergency planning, community right-to-know, and

pollution prevention information.• “Water Quality Standards Through Pollution Prevention,” focusing on bioaccumulative

chemicals of concern and the importance of mercury reduction.• “Cost Effective Use of Compressed Air” providing attendees with energy efficiency

information to help small and medium-sized businesses increase their economiccompetitiveness while reducing their energy consumption through more efficient compressedair systems.

• Clean Corporate Citizen (C3) program workshops, including the essential role of pollutionprevention in a corporation’s plans to become a designated C3 company.

Fiscal year 1999 Plans include a number of pollution prevention education and training projectssuch as the 6th Annual Great Lakes Region waste reduction and energy efficiency workshop,“WASTE REDUCTION ‘98 - You Can Make it Happen!”; additional workshops on SARA Title IIIreporting; pollution prevention workshops for regulatory integration and for local healthdepartments; an Upper Peninsula waste reduction workshop; and The Great Lakes Regional P2Roundtable in August 1999.

Field Staff Services

In April 1998 the EAD initiated its field operations program, to offer pollution preventionassistance at the local level. Three field staff were hired to work in the Detroit, Plainwell, andCadillac district offices.

Field staff work closely with public health agencies, district staff from other DEQ divisions,businesses and industry, local government, educational institutions, and trade associations topromote EAD’s pollution prevention and assistance programs. The field staff are taking the leadfor implementation of the work plan developed under the newly established DEQ-local healthdepartment pollution prevention partnership. The field staff also have responsibility for integratingpollution prevention into regulatory programs at the district office level.

Two additional EAD field staff will be hired in fiscal year 1999 for the Jackson and Saginaw Baydistrict offices. This addition expands EAD’s ability to offer environmental assistance services atthe local level.

Technical Assistance

In January 1998, the EAD strengthened its pollution prevention technical assistance program byadding two engineers to provide technical assistance to Michigan businesses, institutions, anddepartment staff. These engineers not only provide practical information to those seekingassistance, they research and develop pollution prevention fact sheets on new and innovativetechnologies and develop case studies on successful pollution prevention approaches. Theengineers were instrumental in helping 40 companies adopt pollution prevention practices.

INITIATIVES ANDPROGRAMS –1998

Agricultural Pollution PreventionProject

The EnvironmentalAssistance Divisioninitiated theAgricultural PollutionPrevention Project in1995 for the purpose ofaccomplishing threeobjectives:1) develop an

agriculturalpollution prevention strategy;

2) implement demonstration projects; and3) conduct informational and technical

workshops.

The goal of the project was to establishpartnerships with agricultural organizations toreduce pollution generated in livestock andcrop production. Financial support for theproject was provided in part by the U.S. EPA.

In January 1998, the project achieved a majormilestone when representatives of theagricultural industry, DEQ, and the MichiganDepartment of Agriculture (MDA), announcedthe development of a Pollution PreventionStrategy for Michigan Agriculture (AgriculturalStrategy). The Agricultural Strategy provides acomprehensive plan for guiding agriculturalpollution prevention in Michigan, and containsspecific recommendations on pursuingenvironmental quality while maintainingagricultural financial viability. The EAD took thelead on developing a joint DEQ-MDAimplementation plan to identify specificactivities that should be undertaken toimplement the Agricultural Strategy objectives.

Other fiscal year 1998 activities included thefollowing:

• Widespread distribution of the Strategy andImplementation Plan and fact sheet;

• Securing additional funding from the U.S.EPA for theincorporation ofthe ImplementationPlan;• Piloting a

mercury manometer(vacuum gauges)reduction effort onMichigan dairyfarms in twocounties: Gratiot andClinton;

• Participating as a member of the SaginawBay Watershed Initiative Network (WIN),the Agricultural Pollution Prevention TaskGroup, formed to set priorities and selectedrelated projects for potential funding. The1998 projects selected for funding includethe Innovative Farmers of Huron CountyIntegrated Cropping Systems and theMidland County Soil & Water ConservationDistrict Earth Tunnel Education Project; and

• Initiating efforts to develop an agriculturalenvironmental assurance program torecognize and provide incentives forlivestock producers who are engaging in costeffective pollution prevention and are incompliance with environmental regulations.

Clean CorporateCitizen Program(C3)

The Clean CorporateCitizen (C3) program was announced by theGovernor in his 1996 “State of the State”address and has been operating since Part 14of Michigan’s air quality regulations becameeffective in May 1997. The C3 program ismanaged by EAD in cooperation with theDEQ’s Air Quality Division.

The C3 program was specifically created toprovide incentives to companies to adopt astrong environmental ethic and commitment toenvironmental stewardship. To obtain a C3designation, applicant facilities mustdemonstrate exemplary environmentalperformance in three main areas:

1) a strong and effective environmentalmanagement system;

2) a pollution prevention program thatincludes identification of pollutionprevention opportunities, established goals,accomplishments, and participation ininformation exchange; and

3) consistent compliance with all applicableenvironmental requirements and nooutstanding unresolved violations.

C3 companies receive public recognition andqualify for expedited permiting options.Companies, industries, institutions, and localunits of government that are stationary sourcesunder Michigan’s air quality program qualify toapply for a facility-specific C3 designation.There are currently eight facilities designated asClean Corporate Citizens, with six of thesehaving been designated during fiscal year1998. The companies are listed in Appendix A.

The DEQ has continued to work on thedevelopment of new administrative rules toexpand the C3 program to all regulated facilitiesand add new benefits in the surface water andgroundwater permitting programs, and in the

“Working in cooperation with theDepartment of Environmental Quality toachieve our environmental goals is indeedgratifying. It is our hope that theenvironmental community will partnerwith industry and the DEQ to promote thispositive program. We encourage otherMichigan facilities to work on attainingthis status.”

analysis are the only environmental reportsthat contain information on the release,transfer, and import of toxic chemicals in ourcommunities.

The Community Environmental AwarenessProject (CEAP) is another CRTK programactivity. The objective is to improve the wayenvironmental information is presented to thepublic. The project utilizes Toxic ChemicalRelease Inventory and other environmentaldata to provide an accurate, meaningful pictureof a facility’s environmental performance. Theprofile explains Michigan’s regulatory systemand the facility’s performance record. It alsoincludes information about the facility,including its product, role in the community,and environmental policies and practices. Thispresentation is meant to provide readers withthe context and perspective necessary tounderstand a facility’s overall performance. Thepilot phase of this project involves profiling fiveautomobile manufacturing facilities, the first ofwhich is the DaimlerChrysler Sterling HeightsAssembly Plant. Over time, the DEQ hopes toprovide the public with profiles of manyMichigan facilities on an on-going basis.

Next year, the CRTK will start a new projectthat will link the department’s databases andallow the public to learn what kind of emissionsmay be present in their community. Thisinformation along with TRI data will beavailable to the public both electronically overthe Internet and in paper format.

Community Right-to-Know

This year marks the twelfth year of the DEQ’sCommunity Right-to-Know (CRTK) program.The CRTK program was established to meetcertain requirements in the federal EmergencyPlanning and Community Right-to-Know Actpassed by Congress in 1986. The federal lawestablished a comprehensive framework forlocal chemical emergency planning and putstrong emphasis on the public’s right to knowabout hazardous chemicals in their communities.The program works closely with the MichiganDepartment of State Police EmergencyManagement Division, which is responsible forthe emergency planning and preparednessportions of the law.

Throughout the year the CRTK program hasworked to make sure citizens have access toinformation about hazardous chemicals in theirneighborhoods. The program has done thisthrough its annual Toxic Chemical ReleaseInventory (TRI) data summary and staffanalysis. These publications are based oninformation DEQ receives from Michiganfacilities that manufacture, process, orotherwise use one or more of 650 toxicchemicals and chemical compounds listed inSection 313 of the federal Emergency Planningand Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of1986.These reports provide the public withinformation on the amounts of chemicalsgenerated by Michigan businesses andinstitutions. They also provide information onindustry’s efforts to prevent the generation ofwaste at the source as well as to reduce directreleases to the environment through othermethods as described in the federal PollutionPrevention Act (PPA) of 1990. The PPA (Section6607 (b)) expanded TRI and requires facilitiesto report information on source reduction andrecycling activities, including techniques whichwere used to identify source reductionopportunities.

Green Lights Program

The DEQ is the lead agencyfor the State of Michigan’sparticipation in the GreenLights Program. GreenLights is a voluntaryprogram developed by theU.S. EPA, aimed at reducingpollution from energyproduction caused by

electrical lighting demands. There are over2,000 companies, government agencies,hospitals, universities, and nonprofitorganizations participating in this program. Byencouraging participants to install energyefficient lighting, Green Lights has helpedorganizations realize an average of 30 percentreturn on their lighting investment. All GreenLights participants sign a voluntaryMemorandum of Understanding (MOU) withU.S. EPA, agreeing to survey their domesticfacilities, upgrade their lighting whereprofitable, and complete their lighting upgradeswithin five years. The U.S. EPA helps partnersobtain the most current information aboutenergy efficient lighting technologies and helpspartners decide which technologies are best forthem.

Michigan is a Green Lights partner and hascompleted upgrades on 15,010,501 millionsquare feet of its state-maintained facilities.Surveys of lighting usage have been completedfor 21,302,578 million square feet.

Michigan’s environmental achievements inGreen Lights are equivalent to the removalof 3,631 cars from U.S. highways or theplanting of 4,974 acres of trees in U.S.forests. Each car removed is equivalent topreventing 10,000 pounds of carbondioxide. Every acre of trees plantedrepresents 7,300 pounds of carbon dioxideprevented.

• Developing joint publications;• Utilizing household hazardous waste

programs for pollution prevention outreachand education;

• Evaluating local business sectors with goodpotential for pollution prevention; and

• Offering educational and trainingopportunities to LHEDs and DEQ staff.

During the 1999 fiscal year EAD will beconducting a survey on LHED pollutionprevention awareness and programs. Thesurvey will be used to construct an inventory ofLHED pollution prevention programs and toidentify needs that can be met under the DEQ-LHED partnership. EAD will also be workingwith LHED professional associations to offerpollution prevention technical training. In thesecond half of 1999, the DEQ-LHED work planwill be updated to reflect accomplishments andfuture priorities.

Local HealthDepartmentPartnership

In April 1998, the DEQ and the MichiganAssociation for Local Public Health (MALPH)established a partnership that recognizes theimportant role local public health andenvironmental departments (LHEDs) andenvironmental agencies can play in promotingpollution prevention. The mission of thepartnership is to enhance and increase thepractice of pollution prevention in Michiganthrough cooperative and collaborative effortsthat maximize the pollution prevention servicesof all participating agencies.

A partnership work plan was developed as theresult of recommendations made by a workgroup representing county environmental andpublic health departments, industry,environmental groups, MALPH and DEQ. Thework plan contains five objectives and specificgoals that when achieved, will improvepollution prevention services and promoteinnovative programs to the regulatedcommunity and the general public.

A key component of the work plan is thecommitment from DEQ to assign pollutionprevention field staff to several DEQ districtoffices throughout the state. Some of theactivities that the field staff will be working onwith MALPH and the LHEDs include:

• Increasing communication between DEQand LHEDs on pollution prevention policyissues,

• Assessing local pollution preventionactivities;

• Strengthening regional pollution preventionnetworks;



are underway to further promote and marketthe service to small businesses through tradepublications and presentations at workshopsand conferences. EAD anticipates thatincreased awareness of this service by thesmall business community will result ineffective management and use of wastematerials.

Indiana Materials Exchange

Material Exchanges

An important way to reducewaste is to turn it into auseful product. That is theconcept of recycling. A keycomponent of recycling ismaterial exchange. The EnvironmentalAssistance Division began piloting a two-yearmaterial exchange program in fiscal year 1997.The program provides Michigan smallbusinesses with an opportunity to exchangeunwanted materials with potential usersthrough the Internet. EAD is currently using thefollowing Internet-based exchange services:Recycler’s World, the Ohio Materials Exchange,and the Indiana Materials Exchange.

The material exchange program was designedto provide small businesses with limitedresources and no access to the Internet, a linkto exchange services. The exchange operates asfollows:

Pertinent information regarding thematerial(s) to be listed on the exchange isobtained from the business offering thematerial(s). This information is thenposted onan exchange with EAD being thecontact, not the intermediary, for theexchange. When a party is interested inthe material(s), the generator is notified byEAD and provided information to facilitatethe exchange. At that point, EAD is nolonger involved. Staff also assist businessesin locating materials that may be availableon these on-line services.

In fiscal year 1998, 20 materials were listedthrough EAD service. This represents an 18percent increase of materials compared tofiscal year 1997. There have been numerousinquiries regarding the procedure for using theInternet exchanges. This increased interest bybusinesses has allowed EAD to educategenerators, who have access to the Internet, touse materials exchanges independently. Efforts



Mercury Reduction Initiative

The DEQ continues to emphasize mercury as ahigh priority pollutant and has committedsubstantial time and resources into reducinganthropogenic loadings of this pollutantthrough pollution prevention practices. Themercury efforts are guided by therecommendations of the Mercury PollutionPrevention in Michigan (M2P2) Task Force finalreport. Based on the department’s work so far,it is estimated that 65 percent of thoserecommendations have been accomplished.Highlights of EAD’s contributions to thisMercury Reduction Initiative in fiscal year 1998include the following:

• On January 28, 1998, EAD, the Office ofthe Great Lakes (OGL), and the M2P2 TaskForce Chair, reconvened the MichiganMercury Pollution Prevention Task Force forpurposes of receiving updated progressreports from the individual subgroups andstakeholders. This information, entitledM2P2 Interim Implementation StrategyProgress Report, has since been condensedand is summarized on the EAD pollutionprevention website. The report will beupdated as new information and materialbecome available.

• EAD received a Great Lakes NationalProgram Office Mercury (GLNPO) Grant toimplement selected recommendations asset forth in the M2P2 Final Report.

• The DEQ has established an inter-department mercury distribution list-servethat aids in the distribution and exchangeof mercury information among variousdivisions and programs within stategovernment.

• A cultural task force has been establishedfor the purposes of addressing the dangersof mercury used in religious and culturalpractices in Hispanic communities and adraft bilingual publication highlighting

concerns over mercury was revised toinclude Michigan-specific information.

• In March 1998, EAD and the MichiganMunicipal League co-sponsored two GreatLakes Initiative (GLI) Workshops formunicipalities and wastewater industrialpretreatment program officials. Theworkshops profiled successful pollutionprevention strategies for the reduction ofbio-accumulative chemicals of concern.

• DEQ worked with the Michigan Departmentof Education on a mercury reductionoutreach effort targeted to MichiganIntermediate School Districts and scienceteachers.

• EAD is working with the Detroit Water andSewerage Department on a mercurylaboratory minimization program and willbe involved in a statewide mercury cleansweep program to collect and safely disposeof mercury from laboratories.

To complement EAD’s Mercury PollutionPrevention web page, a department-widemercury web page has been established and isslated to go on line in January of 1999. The sitewill include an explanation of mercury’stoxicological/health effects, as well asinformation on regulatory programs, pollutionprevention, spill remediation and disposalrequirements.

sponsors continued aggressively marketing theprogram and providing guidance to businessesinterested in participating. The project achieveda major milestone in its issuance of the firstMBP3 annual report. The report, which isavailable at the website below, profiles theprogram’s accomplishments and the pollutionprevention efforts undertaken by MBP3participants.

As part of the MBP3 program, theDEQ developed a two-sided posterin conjunction with PollutionPrevention Week, to providerecognition to participants involvedin all of DEQ’s pollution preventionpartnerships, and promote theconcepts of pollution prevention.

During the 1999 fiscal year, theMBP3 will emphasize providing

pollution prevention information and assistanceto program participants and continue tobroaden its membership base. EnvironmentalAssistance Division staff will be publishing casestudies of MBP3 companies to promotetechnology transfer and provide recognition fortheir efforts.

Michigan Business PollutionPrevention Partnership

The Michigan Business Pollution PreventionPartnership (MBP3) is a voluntary programdeveloped by the business community andadopted by the DEQ to encourage businesses toinitiate and expand pollution preventionpractices, and to provide public recognition forthese efforts. The program isoperated by the DEQ and utilizesthe support and advise of asteering committee comprised ofrepresentatives from interestedstate trade associations andbusinesses.

To participate in the MBP3, abusiness must make a formalcommitment to the DEQ toparticipate in the program; assess pollutionprevention opportunities; submit goals withinsix months of joining; and complete an annualreport summarizing progress made towardsgoals. In return, a business receives a signedcertificate from the Governor and the DEQDirector in recognition of participation. TheMBP3 company also receives technicalinformation and assistance from DEQ. Inaddition, MBP3 partners can improve theirpublic image and relations.

As of October 1, 1998, the MBP3 had 70registered members representing a diverseblend of business size, industry type, andgeographic location. Participants includeautomotive suppliers, plastic manufacturers,office furniture, chemical, pharmaceutical, foodprocessing, energy, electronics, and tradeassociations. They represent major multi-national and national corporations as well assmall and medium-size businesses.

During fiscal year 1998, the MBP3 focused onpromoting the benefits of participating in apollution prevention recognition program. TheMBP3 business partners and trade association

MBP3 companies have established impressivepollution prevention goals, which includereductions in air emissions, toxic substances,and solid waste. According to the 1998 MBP3annual report, of the total 53 MBP3 partnersthat have submitted their P2 goals, 88 percentcommitted to reduce, 32 percent committed toreuse, and 62 percent committed to recycle attheir business. Many partners committed toincorporate all three methods of pollutionprevention into their operations.



Two Michigan counties have resolutions eitherencouraging support for county Great Printersor making it mandatory for county governmentto use only Great Printers. The commitment byGreat Print Buyers to the MI-GPP has helpedcreate a market incentive for other printers tojoin the project. These “Committed Great PrintBuyers” influence printing processes byrequesting environmentally sound printing andby supporting Great Printers with their printjobs.

During the fiscal year the MI-GPP:

• Increased participation from 80 to 102printers;

• Completed a Regulatory Guidebook forMichigan’s Lithographic Printing Industry,and conducted six workshops to review theRegulatory Guidebook with printers;

• Distributed the Regulatory Guidebook to over600 Michigan printers, approximately halfthe printers in the state;

• Developed and disseminated publicationsto market the project and provide technicalinformation to registered Great Printers;

• Received a U.S. EPA Pollution PreventionIncentives for the States’ grant to developfour Michigan Great Printer case studies;

• Added hotlinks to the MI-GPP website andmember websites;

• Provided ten waste assessments throughthe Retired Engineers Technical AssistanceProgram (RETAP); and

• Developed the “Printed by a Michigan GreatPrinter” logo and distributed it to all ofMichigan’s Great Printers.

MichiganGreatPrintersProject

The Michigan Great Printers Project (MI-GPP) isa partnership between the MichiganEnvironmental Council, Michigan Departmentof Environmental Quality, and the PrintingIndustries of Michigan to promote pollutionprevention as a standard practice in theMichigan lithographic printing industry. The MI-

GPP is avoluntaryprogram thatwelcomesprinters whoarecommitted tominimizingtheirindustry’simpact on the

environment and human health, while at thesame time maintaining the highest qualityprinting standards. Through the project,printers, print buyers, suppliers, regulatoryagencies, and technical assistance providerswork to create a cooperative businessenvironment that is both economically soundand conducive to pollution prevention. Sincethe MI-GPP’s formal announcement to printersin September 1996, over 100 Michigan printershave registered as Great Printers.

There are also over 20 Great Printer Partnerswho have joined the project within Michigan.These partners are print suppliers andcustomers who have made a commitment towork with printers on providingenvironmentally sound products, sharinginformation regarding the MI-GPP to the public,and to exclusively patronize Great Printers.

The MI-GPP has registered over 100Michigan printers who have committedto a variety of pollution preventionpractices including eliminating plates,reducing waste paper production,reusing inks, and recycling developer.



Michigan Pulp and PaperPollution PreventionProgram

The Michigan Pulp and PaperPollution Prevention Program (P5)is a voluntary program designed to encouragethe incorporation of pollution preventionactivities at pulp and paper mills in Michigan.The overall goal of this initiative isenvironmental improvement in concert witheconomic growth and security. The P5 is apartnership between EAD and the MichiganPulp and Paper Environmental Council, withparticipation open to all paper mills in the state.Since its inception in 1996, fifteen membermills, which represent 75 percent of the totalpaper production in the state, have committedto significant pollution reduction goals for1997, 1998, and beyond.

The Second Annual Report of the P5 waspublished in the fall of 1998. The reportsummarizes the annual and long-term goalsadopted collectively by the participatingcompanies. It contains data on the pollutionprevention accomplishments achieved in 1997and commitments made for 1998.

During the summer of 1998, EAD employed anintern through the National PollutionPrevention Center in Ann Arbor to work on aP5 technology transfer effort. Under thisprogram, a college intern was assigned toinvestigate pollution preventionimplementation practices at member mills.Four case studies—team building, ash reuse,sludge reuse, and waste water aerationmembrane substitution were developed. Thecase studies will be available shortly on EAD’sP5 website.

makes up approximately 25 percent of mostcars and currently ends up as automobileshredder residue. Nearly three million tons ofthis material is generated each year. The finalreport showed promise in several materialareas including polyurethane seat foam,windshield glass, and elastomers.

The EAD publishes two directories listingbusinesses that either recycle material or makerecycled products. Following are summaries ofthese publications:

The Recycled Materials Market Directory(RMMD) is a tool developed over six years agoto help Michigan businesses and communitiesfind markets for recyclable waste. The RMMD isvery popular with the regulated communityand local recycling organizations. This type ofdirectory is published by most states and is avaluable tool for promoting pollutionprevention. This directory went on-line in late1997. Switching from a paper copy to anelectronic version allows information to beprovided more efficiently with the electronicversion. Information is current, available in atimely manner, and saves the State paper andpostage costs. Staff time assisting the businesscommunity is lessened as users becomefamiliar with the directory’s availability andusefulness.

The Recycled Products Directory (RPD) is adirectory listing Michigan companies thatmanufacture recycled products. The directoryhas been published three times and is intendedto be updated annually. It is important for theState to strengthen the infrastructure ofrecycling as part of its commitment topromoting pollution prevention. This directoryprovides a focus on buy-recycled efforts andhelps stabilize recycling in the state. The RPD isuseful to purchasers who are sometimesmandated to buy recycled products and toMichigan businesses wanting to promote theuse and availability of recycled products.

Recycling Initiatives

Recycling turns waste into avaluable product and remainsan important component ofpollution prevention. Recy-cling is often the first stepcompanies take when implementing a wastemanagement strategy. A recycling program canraise awareness of what is being generated andmove a company toward greater efforts inreducing solid and hazardous wastes, airemissions, and wastewater discharges. Recyclingconsists of three important components:collection of recyclables, processing recyclablesinto usable manufacturing materials, andpurchasing products made with recycledmaterials. The Environmental AssistanceDivision recycling initiatives promote all threeof these components.

Throughout the year, staff provided technicalsupport to the Governor’s office and the state’srepresentative on the Great Lakes RecycleBoard. The Great Lakes Recycle Project wasestablished by the Great Lakes Council ofGovernors to identify and promote recycledproducts that can be purchased through amulti-state contract by any of the Great Lakesstates. A variety of products have beenanalyzed for purchasing potential, includingrecycled tire rubber mats and plastic trashliners. A subgroup of state purchasing staff wasformed this year to further the effort of jointpurchases of recycled products. Information onthe Great Lakes Recycle Board and purchasingopportunities can be found on the Internet atthe following address:

The Automobile Recycling DemonstrationProject was completed this fiscal year. Theproject, funded through a U.S. EPA grant,sought to identify efficient methods ofreclaiming materials (not normally recycled)from scrapped automobiles. This material



designated $10 million for this endowmentfund. Since it is now a permanent programwith a dedicated funding source, RETAP will beable to reach more businesses to continueadvancing waste reduction practices in thisstate. In addition to on-site assistance, theprogram will develop and distribute casestudies and fact sheets about pollutionprevention practices and technologies.

Retired EngineerTechnicalAssistanceProgram (RETAP)

In 1994, the RetiredEngineer TechnicalAssistance Program (RETAP) began as a pilotproject to provide on-site technical assistance toMichigan facilities in an effort to reduce wasteto the environment. Through this program,retired professionals have been hired andtrained to conduct waste reductionassessments. This assistance is focused oninstitutions and Michigan businesses with lessthan 500 employees. The DEQ and WayneCounty began a partnership in fiscal year 1998to focus a portion of RETAP assistance in theRouge River watershed.

Since the program began in 1994, RETAPprofessionals have completed 147 on-siteassessments. This past fiscal year, 32assessments were completed. In addition, onecase study was developed about an assessmentat the Bohning Company, Ltd., and currently acase study is being developed on MitchellGraphics, Inc.

A survey conducted in February 1998demonstrated cost savings and waste reductionfor the assessed businesses. The total costsavings for 26 companies were $2,595,163. Onan average, the companies saved about$100,000 per year by implementing the wasterecommendations. As an example of wastereduction results, one company reported areduction of 1,000 gallons per year inhazardous waste.

Public Act 289 of 1998, which amended Parts143 and 145 of NREPA, established RETAP as apermanent program and created anendowment fund to ensure its continuedoperation. The Clean Michigan Initiative,passed by the voters in November 1998,

Turf Grass Pollution PreventionProgram

The Michigan Turfgrass EnvironmentalStewardship Program was officially launchedon June 25, 1998. The program is the first of itskind in the nation and represents a partnershipwith DEQ, the Department of Agriculture,Michigan State University, Michigan TurfgrassFoundation, Golf Association of Michigan,Michigan Golf Course Owners Association, andenvironmental advocacy groups. Approximately40 golf turf representatives from throughout thestate attended the first Turfgrass EnvironmentalStewardship Seminar to learn how to improvewater quality, prevent pollution, and increasecompliance with environmental laws andregulations.

The mission of the Michigan TurfgrassEnvironmental Stewardship Program is to:

• Advance the environmental stewardship ofMichigan’s golf industry by increasing theawareness and understanding of Michigan’senvironmental resources, the potentialimpacts of golf turf management, andelevate the level of pollution prevention;

• Enhance wildlife habitat, indigenousvegetation, and protect water resources ongolf course properties;

• Clearly identify environmental laws andregulations and advance the compliance ofthe golf turf industry;

• Engage the golf industry, regulatoryagencies, Michigan State University, andenvironmental citizen groups in productivecommunication; and

• Recognize, promote, and awardenvironmental stewardship achievements.

To become a program member, a golf courserepresentative must first attend a MichiganTurfgrass Environmental Stewardship Seminarwhere the program is explained and theassessment materials are distributed. Second,the materials must be taken back to theproperty and completed. Finally, a site visitfrom the Turf Stewardship Team is made wherethe materials are reviewed and anenvironmental action plan is developed. As partof a participant’s commitment toenvironmental stewardship, the golf courserepresentativesigns astatementsupportingthe MissionandPrinciples ofthe programduring thesite visit. Sixsite visitswerecompletedduring the first four months of the program.

Over fiscal year 1999, three additionalworkshops will be offered. They are scheduledfor November 6, 1998, January 22, 1999, andMarch 18, 1999. Also, additional modules willbe developed covering equipment washing,waste management, and permittingrequirements for new golf courses. A newsection of the program will be introduced onenvironmental enhancement to promote waterquality, wildlife habitat, and native vegetation.A video will be produced to provide anoverview of the program and to captureindustry, state, and university support. Thevideo will be used at upcoming workshops andother speaking engagements.

Workshop participants received a copyof the program materials whichcurrently consist of six modules: SiteEvaluation, Wellhead Protection, FuelStorage, Pesticide Handling andApplication, Pesticide and FertilizerStorage, and Pesticide Mixing andLoading Pads.



• Seventy-eight case studies, all posted on theEAD Internet site;

US AutomotivePollutionPrevention Project

The US AutomotivePollution PreventionProject (Auto Project), is a voluntary effort byChrysler, Ford, and General Motors (AutoCompanies) to promote pollution preventionand resource conservation. The Auto Projectissued its fourth and final progress report inNovember 1998 and its future is uncertain,given the disbanding of the AmericanAutomobile Manufacturers Association (AAMA),which coordinated the project. The threeparticipating auto companies will continue theirindividual pollution prevention programs andparticipation in other federal and statevoluntary programs. The companies will alsocontinue to submit case studies and participatein EAD’s waste reduction workshops.

The Auto Project was initiated in 1991 as avoluntary industrial sector pollution preventionproject focusing on reductions in the use,generation, and release of persistent toxicsubstances in the Great Lakes region. Theproject expanded nationwide in 1995, focusingon all materials of concern affecting theenvironment. It has served as a model forsimilar voluntary sector projects across thecountry.

The fourth and final Auto Project progressreport highlights the joint and individualaccomplishments of Chrysler, Ford, and GeneralMotors since the inception of the project sevenyears ago. The report includes data on ToxicRelease Inventory releases, with a breakdownon releases of the persistent toxic substancesidentified in the original Great Lakes project.Other accomplishments reported include:

Combined pollution prevention achieve-ments for Chrysler, Ford, and GeneralMotors include a 46 percent reduction inU.S. EPA TRI reportable releases since 1991,the year the Auto Project began. During thesame period there has been a 26 percentreduction in Great Lakes Persistent ToxicSubstances.
