Reporting requirements development

Develop an outline of a permit for a new plastic molding company. Include a schedule of costs and reporting requirements. 

It also specifies data requirements, assumptions, limitations, eventual type of critical review, and the report requirements. For example, a study could be done to select between one of two materials when developing a dust transport container for a baghouse filter. The intended audience may be the designers, the results being used to indicate which one of the two materials provides the lowest environmental impact. The system function may be to transport dust from the baghouse filter to a landfill site, and the functional unit may be one metric ton or m of dust. The system boundaries may be described by considering which processes are included and which are outside the system limits. 

This sample is designed to summarize the key steps in the process a centralized company or division plans to follow in developing PSM. Note that the primary difterences indicated relate to reporting requirements and timeframe the process components remain the same regardless of organizational structure or management style. 

Thiophenes continue to play a major role in commercial applications as well as basic research. In addition to its aromatic properties that make it a useful replacement for benzene in small molecule syntheses, thiophene is a key element in superconductors, photochemical switches and polymers. The presence of sulfur-containing components (especially thiophene and benzothiophene) in crude petroleum requires development of new catalysts to promote their removal (hydrodesulfurization, HDS) at refineries. Interspersed with these commercial applications, basic research on thiophene has continued to study its role in electrocyclic reactions, newer routes for its formation and substitution and new derivatives of therapeutic potential. New reports of selenophenes and tellurophenes continue to be modest in number. 

Matusiewicz [63,68] has reported the development of a high-pressure, high-temperature, focused-microwave-heated acid (HNO3) digestion system. This microwave technique requires only about 3 % of the time necessary for the thermal high-pressure (HPA) technique. The technique of microwave heating samples in sealed containers to speed up acid digestion has been in widespread use for the past few years [69,70]. 

Most of the provisions of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1976 (PL 94-469) rely in some way on risk assessment of chemicals. Under the reporting requirements of the statute, any manufacturer, processor, or distributor of a chemical for commercial purposes must inform the EPA immediately after discovering any information which "reasonably supports the conclusion" that a chemical substance or mixture "presents a substantial risk of injury to health or to the environment" unless the EPA Administrator has been adequately informed already. EPA is mandated to establish regulations for testing new or existing substances when it is determined that there is not enough health or environmental information, that testing is necessary to develop such information and that the chemical or mixture "may present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment."... 

As part of the studies undertaken in our laboratory it was necessary to be able to determine quantitatively the surfactant present in large numbers of samples (> 100 per week) arising, for example, from core flooding experiments. The chosen method needed to be rapid to reduce analysis time, and to require little manipulation of the sample to reduce errors. In this paper we report the development of a method for the determination of anionic surfactants based upon autotitration and comment on the physico-chemical basis of the technique. 

Velocity seals are more recent developments in air seal design. They use conical baffles to redirect and focus the purge gas flow field just below the flare tip to sweep air from the flare stack. Some velocity seal designs can reduce the purge gas flow rate requirement to about 1/10 of the rate needed without the seal. Also, some velocity seal designs reportedly require only about 25 to 33 percent of the purge gas used in diffusion seals (AICliE-CCPS, 1998). More details about air (purge reduction) seals may be found in API RP 521 (2007). 

Determining whether or not a particular event reported by a state under the regulations constitutes a public health emergency of international concern, with advice from external experts if required Developing and recommending the critical health measures for implementation by states/parties... 

Of course, the term "sustainable development" was first launched with success in a United Nations report called "Our Common Future" [1], better known as "The Brundtland Report" after the chairperson of the commission that produced it (see Figure 13.1). In this report, sustainable development is defined as a social development required to satisfy the needs of present generations without putting at risk the needs of future generations. 

The MIAME/Tox standard is being developed to address these concerns. Additional reporting requirements of the MIAME/Tox extension... 

The old process for the manufacture of albuterol5 requires the use of a number of chemicals, particularly formaldehyde and bromine, which are classified as extremely hazardous substances (and subject to reporting requirements under EPCRA and CAA—see later). Clearly, we preferred not to handle these. At the time, albuterol manufacture, because of its small volume, was being carried out in Chemical Development plants. Because we were enjoined to reduce wastes as part of our RCRA and EPCRA commitments, we initiated a search for a better and simpler process. Such a process evolved from our work on the manufacturing process for dilevalol hydrochloride (q.v.). Scheme 1 summarizes our first new process starting with low-cost methyl salicylate.6... 

Site needs should be established and documented in central URS and site-specific URS as appropriate. Wherever possible a common set of user requirements should be developed between sites using the same system. Specific local regulatory requirements should be clearly stated in addition to any other statutory requirements necessary to satisfy other bodies such as the financial reporting requirements of the Inland Revenue within the U.K.
