Cost and liabilities

It cannot be stressed too highly, therefore, how important it is to operate with a FW tank of good design and construction. This is especially true for owners or managers of smaller boiler plants where resources are often limited and the extra costs and liabilities incurred can be ill-afforded.

It is not currently feasible to achieve a zero discharge of chemical pollutants from metal finishing operations. However, substantial reductions in the type and volume of hazardous chemicals wasted from most metal finishing operations are possible.8 Because end-of-pipe waste detoxification is costly for small- and medium-sized metal finishers, and the cost and liability of residuals disposal have increased for all metal finishers, management and production personnel may be more willing to consider production process modifications to reduce the amount of chemicals lost to waste. 

Minimizes labor costs, energy costs, and liability costs. 

The hazardous component of the treated wastes is eliminated treated wastes contaminated with metals may be disposed of as nonhazardous wastes, and mixed wastes may be disposed of as radioactive wastes, reducing disposal costs and liability concerns. 

While attractive from a cost and liability standpoint when waste disposal is included, this substitution is still thwarted by technical challenges. These are summarized for non-cyanide zinc plating in the following table, along with benefits, projected and realized. 

The ecological and economic consequences of recovering 4500 lbs. per month of a 32% ferro-nickel alloy are impressive. This material can be saleable feedstock to industries producing wrought stainless steel, stainless steel castings, and high-nickel cast irons. Instead of a cost and liability, we now have a profit center.

Provide the enforcement agency the authority to impose cost and liabilities for principal responsible parties (PRPs) of the past and the future release of hazardous chemicals. 

A very early move to involve the financial sector in the environmental scenario was the founding of the UNEP Financial Institutions Initiative on the Environment, in 1991, which had 114 signatories at the time of writing. This initiative sees climate change as one of the big issues of the future. Also, environmental reporting is flagged up as a key component of the mechanism to achieve sustainability, with an emphasis on reporting of environmental costs and liabilities. 

Source reduction is the preferred strategy for environmental protection because it is often cost-effective offers industry substantial savings in reduced raw materials, pollution control costs, and liability costs reduces risks to workers and reduces risk to the environment and public health. The Act was meant to increase interest in source reduction and encourage adoption of cost-effective source reduction practices.
