CBI

Narrative Description and Process Flow Schematic :

Provide overall material balance of the chemical being reported, showing releases and products (kg/year). Use the following page to provide a narrative description and process flow schematic of on-site activities, and include information that gives an understanding of the nature and extent of potential exposures to the subject chemical. Attach additional pages if desired. The narrative and process flow schematic should cover major unit operations and chemical conversions for manufacturing and on-site uses, if applicable. The narrative should provide insigh t into why and how releases are caused by the process. The schematic should show the points of release of the subject chemical in the workplace and to the environment. In the event the subject chemical is used in many different processes, provide information on each major process instead of each individual

process.

CBIIV. SITE RELEASE AND TRANSFER INFORMATION (For manufacturing and on-site processing/use if applicable)

In this section, estimate the total media-sp ecific releases after on-site treatment of

the chemical from your facility. You may estimate th e releases by using monitoring data or any other method you believe appropriate. Estimates should be reported in kgs per year for the reporting period. Enter the values as whole numbers to no more than two significant figures. For example, if your annual releases are estimated to be 12,360 kgs, an estimate of 12,000 kg should be reported.

Estimate the number of days per year the release occurs. Enter a whole number with a maximum of 2 significant figures.

Insert “NA” for release activities not associated with the chemical or “0” for

releases of less than 0.5 kgs per year.

For all releases, the source of data and/or basis for determination should be described in detail. Suggested information about the possible sources/basis includes:

1. If the source/basis is an analytical measurement, then

 Describe the method (including analytical standards used, sampling, sample treatment, analysis).

 Describe the uncertainties and assumptions made.

 Give the Level of Detection (LOD )/Level of Quantification (LOQ).

2. If the source/basis is a mass balance, then

 Show the mass balance calculation.

 Show that the mass balance closes.

 If the mass balance does not close, then report the fraction of total feedstock that is not accounted for and the assumptions you made to

correct the balance. Describe the uncertainties.

3. If the source/basis is other than measurement or mass balance, then

 Describe the method used. For example, if engineering calculations are used, give a general description and state your assumptions. Describe the

uncertainties.Part IV (cont.)

A. ON-SITE AIR RELEASES

Estimate the total fugitive or non-point releases to air and the number of days per year the releases occur. These releases include equipment leaks from valves, pump seals, flanges, compressors, sampling connections, and open-ended lines; evaporative losses from surface impoundments and spills; releas es from building ventilation systems; and, any other fugitive or non-point air emission.

In addition, estimate the total releases that occur through stacks, vents, pipes, or other confined air streams as stack or point source releases. Include storage tank emissions and releases from pollution control equipment.

If desired, you can provide estimates of the accuracies of your release estimates.

Basis for each release estimate: (See discussion on source/basis in beginning of Section IV.)

 APFO usage known (purchases plus recy cle plus decrease in inventory)

 APFO content of product sold analysed (Facility report on Product content), quantity

 APFO content of sample of bulk aqueous effluent analysed. Bulk flows of aqueous effluent measured using magnetic flow meters.

 APFO content of minor aqueous efflue nt analysed, quantities estimated.

 Capture efficiency from aqueous stream measured using UV-vis analysis confirmed by third party laboratory.

 Release to air calculated from known APFO content of wet PTFE prior to drying and capture efficiency of recovery system (measured by specialist contractor).

 APFO content of sample of waste to landfill analysed, weight of waste known

 Overall mass balance used to confirm accuracy of above calculations.

B. WATER RELEASES FROM SITE

Estimate the total releases of the chemic al leaving the fence line of your facility from all discharge points to all streams or water bodies. Include all discharges from process outfalls such as pipes, open trenches, releases from on-site wastewater treatment, and contribution from storm water runoff, if a pplicable. Do not incl ude discharges to a POTW or other off-site wastewater treatment facilities. If desired, you can provide an estimate of the accuracy of your release estimate.

Enter the names of the streams or water bodie s to which the facility directly discharges the chemical. Also, enter the NPDES permit number for the facility . If more than one number is assigned to the facility, list each number for the appropriate discharge quantity and receiving water identified.

Receiving Water Name(s): River Wyre (tidal estuary)

NPDES number(s): Not applicable

Comments: (This section is available to clarify your responses. Attach additional pages if desired.)Part IV (cont.)

C. ON-SITE LAND RELEASES

Estimate the total releases of the chemic al for each category of land disposal, if applicable. Estimate only on-site releases. Do not estimate leaks from landfills separately. This should be accounted for in your estimate of total landfill release.

Releases to land treatment/land amendment include all waste containing the chemical that is applied or incorporated into soil on-site. Do not include waste that is

landfilled.

Surface impoundments are natural topographic depressions, man-made excavations, or diked areas formed primarily of earthen materials designed to hold an

accumulation of the chemical.

Underground injection is the technology of placing fluids underground, in porous formations of rocks, through wells or other similar conveyance systems.

Other releases include any amount of the chemical that is released to land other than those listed. An example is the accidental release of the chemical from an underground pipeline or storage tank.

In this section, estimate the quantity of the subject chemical , not the waste stream, transferred and the accuracy of the estimate for each category listed. If your facility sends the subject chemical in waste to an off-site location where some of the chemical will be recycled and the remainder will be treated, estimate each amount separately (i.e., waste treatment and recycling activities).
