Supplemental Environmental

U.S. EPA uses the guidelines in the Civil Penalty Policy for assessing penalty amounts and uses the Final U.S. EPA Supplemental Environmental Projects Policy to allow for flexibility in assessing penalties. Enforcement of RCRA at federal facilities is now similar to enforcement at TSDFs, as a result of the Federal Facility Compliance Act of 1992.

Settling companies have agreed to invest more than 5 billion in control technologies, pay civil penalties of more than 73 million, and perform supplemental environmental projects valued at approximately 67 million. 

In the context of a settlement, the EPA may allow most of a penalty to be offset by a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP), which is a project that a company entering into a settlement can perform to benefit the environment. EPA guidances impose numerous conditions on performing a SEP, but it is always worth exploring whether a SEP can be used to offset penalties. ...

In 1991, Goodyear began working with Cadence Environmental Energy (Indiana) to market a whole tine feed system to supplement fuel for cement kilns. The system is used by several cement manufacturers. In 1992, Goodyear furnished tines for a Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) test bum at a Memphis power plant. The electric utiUty used tine-derived fuel (TDE) to supplement coal fuel in a cyclone boiler. These tests were successflil. 

Additionally, the EPA pubhshes a newsletter entitled Pollution Prevention News that contains information including EPA news, technologies, program updates, and case studies. The EPA s Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratoiy and the Center for Environmental Research Information has pubhshed several guidance documents, developed in cooperation with the California Department of Health Services. The manuals supplement generic waste reduction information presented in the EPA s Waste Minimization Opportunity Assessment Manual (Ref. 9). 

Location of Transfer Stations Whenever possible, transfer stations should be located (1) as near as possible to the weighted center of the individual solid-waste-produciion ares to be served, (2) within easy access of major arterial highways as well as near secondary or supplemental means of transportation, (3) where there will be a minimum of pubhc and environmental objection to the transfer operations, and (4) where construction and operation will be most economical. Additionally, if the transfer-station site is to be used for processing operations involving material recovery and/or energy production, the requirements for those operations must be considered. 

A wide variety of animal species are subjected to the administration of drugs during their lifetime.The various animal species can encounter drugs and other dietary additives by different routes and this is dependent on the environment in which they are kept. Intensively reared animals tend to have considerable consistency in the components of their diets and thus are much less likely to encounter the range of naturally produced compounds that extensively produced animals encounter. The desire for less expensive dietary constituents and increased efficiency of use has induced feed manufacturers and producers to add enzyme supplements to diets of most farmed animals to reduce the negative effects of indigestible dietary carbohydrates, refactory proteins and unavailable minerals such as phosphorus. This use of dietary additives to improve nutrient utilization and environmental consequences of feeding animals intensively has been the subject of intense research activity in the last five years.
