Industries reporting since 1987 include food, paper, plastics, electrical equipment, furniture, textiles, chemical, printing, lumber, apparel, tobacco and petroleum. It is important to note that all the substances listed are not released into the environment. Some are contained and professionally handled, and are necessary to the day to day operations of the generation of electricity. Modern industrialization has brought about the use of substances to the forefront. The implication here is simply that these substances are present and not necessarily a detriment to the community.
Manufactured substances are a direct result of electric production process.
Otherwise used substances are inherent in the day to day maintenance and care of electric generation equipment and are always on site. We are always looking for ways to limit or eliminate the use of substances at our facility. For example, we have stopped using hydrazine as a boiler treatment. Annually we file and receive the necessary permits to use any substance located on our premises. As the community grows, so does its need for our services.
