Reporting forms

EXAMPLE OF HOW A HYPOTHETICAL FACILITY PREPARED SECTION 313 REPORTING FORM R 

The following Is a hypothetical example of how one manufacturer might complete the toxic chemical release inventory reporting Form R. The facility information is purely fictitious and does not represent any known manufacturing facility. The example begins with descriptions of the facility (a lead-acid storage battery manufacturer) and of the production process at the faciiity. The completion of each section of Form R is explained and a copy of Form R, as it would be completed by this facility, follows. 

The company manufactures lead-acid batteries at a piant in New Mexico. The company also operates a lead smelter that produces lead ingots at another location in New Mexico and ships them to the battery plant. Lead scrap from the battery plant is returned to the smelter for recovery and reuse. 

The SIC code of the battery plant is 3691 (storage batteries) the SIC code for the smelter is 3341 (secondary smelting and refining of non-ferrous metals). A lead oxide production plant located adjacent to the battery plant, on the same property, also falls under SIC code 3691. 

Lead-acid batteries are produced using lead, sulfuric acid, additives such as antimony, and various other raw materials. Your facility s battery production capacity is 5,000 batleries per day, and the facility normally operates 24 hours per day, 300 days per year.

At the end of each month, the field cost engineer collects all current information on a detailed cost report form. As these are actual costs, they can be used to estimate future job costs to completion. Daily reports of unit-cost progress for concrete, excavation, masonry, steel, piping, and electrical work, etc., are then used to predict possible overruns or underruns for the various items. Analysis and comparison with the original estimate point out trouble spots for early attention. If an item is running into difficulty, it is red-flagged to the resident and projec t engineers for remedial action. 

Submission of EPA Form R. the Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Reporting Form, Is required by section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community RIght-to-Know Act (Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthoiizatlon Act of 1986), Public Law 99-499. The Information contained in Form R constitutes a report, and the submission of a report to the appropriate authorities constitutes reporting. ...

You must indicate all of the activities involving lead and lead compounds on Part III, Section 3, of the reporting form. (The attached completed form shows how information for this facility has been entered.)... 

Calculating the Maximum Quantity of Lead and Lead Compounds. To calculate the maximum amount of lead and lead compounds present at your facility at any one time, you must consider types of metallic load and M types of lead compounds present at your facility, Including stockpiled raw materials, lead and lead oxide present in process equipment, the metallic lead and lead peroxide contained in finished batteries stored on-site, and stockpiled lead scrap. Since the reporting form is being prepared for lead compounds, the maximum amount reported is the total of the inventories of these materials. The maximum amount of metallic lead (2,305,000 pounds), lead oxide (205,000 pounds), and lead peroxide (625,000 pounds) present at your facility is 3,135,000 pounds, which is between 1,000,000 and 9,999,999 pounds. You would therefore report range 06 on Part III, Section 4, of the reporting form. 

Information on the types of treatment systems and their treatment efficiencies is required to be entered in Part III, Section 7, of the reporting form. For air emission treatment systems, use code A for wastewater treatment systems use, code W and for solid waste treatment systems, use code S in column 1 of Section 7. Appendix B of the instructions for Form R provides treatment codes to be entered in column B of Section 7.

To consolidate multiple reports efficiently, you may want to develop an enlarged chart based on the assessment report form (questionnaire, protocol, other), which can be filled in as assessments are completed. This may help to illustrate common strengths and weaknesses, as well as highlighting pacesetter programs and gaps. 

This section provides information on the personnel who should be involved in data collection and the design of reporting forms. The specific data needs for major incident analyses are discussed, together with the storage and retrieval of data for the purpose of analysis. 

Various forms have been developed to collect plant data. Figures 6.1 and 6.2 are generic forms published in EuReDatA Project No. 3. The Specimen Inventory form, Figure 6.1, is designed to collect data needed to establish the equipment description and total equipment population. Many maintenance systems offer some of these data, but usually not in a useful format or to the extent desired. The Specimen Event or Failure Report form, Figure 6.2, is used to capture failure event data that, when summed, will allow determination of the failure rate numerator—the number of failures within a unique plant population.

The visual field inspection of derrick or mast and substructure procedure is recommended for use by operating personnel (or a designated representative) to the extent that its use satisfies conditions for which an inspection is intended. A sample report form for this inspection procedure can be found in API Standard 4F. Forms are also available from International Association of Drilling Contractors (lADC). 

Gel strength, in units of lbf/100 ft , is obtained by noting the maximum dial deflection when the rotational viscometer is turned at a low rotor speed (usually 3 rpm) after the mud has remained static for some period of time. If the mud is allowed to remain static in the viscometer for a period of 10 s, the maximum dial deflection obtained when the viscometer is turned on is reported as the initial gel on the API mud report form. If the mud is allowed to remain static for 10 min, the maximum dial deflection is reported as the 10-min gel. 

The four-character bit code is entered on an lADC-API Daily Drilling Report Form as shown in Figure 4-157. The space requirements are consistent with the four-character lADC roller bit classification code. The two codes are readily distinguished from one another by the convention that diamond bit codes begin with a letter, while roller bit codes begin with a number.
