Approval of Amendment of JESCO's"PCB Waste Treatment Project Basic Plan"
In line with the amendment of the government's "Basic Plan for PCB Waste Treatment" on June
6, 2014, JESCO has amended its "PCB Waste Treatment Project Basic Plan". This is to announce
that JESCO's new plan was approved by the State Minister for the Environment on June 17,2014.
Outline of Amendment
1. Change of Framework of PCB Waste Treatment(1) For the treatment of high voltage transformers and capacitors, our five regional facilities were
designated to treat only PCB wastes within assigned area. To take advantage of the strengths ofeach of our facilities, we will ease restrictions of the assigned areas, and some wastes will betreated at facilities more suitable for the task.
(2) For the treatment of ballasts and other PCB contaminated wastes, we now assign our existing
plasma melting facilities at Kitakyushu Facility and Hokkaido Facility to treat all highconcentration PCB contaminated wastes throughout the nation.
2. New Deadlines for Completion of Scheduled Treatment and Preparation Periods for End of BusinessWe have set new deadlines for PCB waste holders to commission JESCO to treat PCB wastes atJESCO, and have set preparation periods to end operations and close facilities.
Please note that JESCO will take efforts to complete treatment of all PCB wastes as fast as possible, evenbefore the new deadlines.
