Training efforts also emphasize pollution prevention as an effective environmental management tool. • Pollution prevention activities were negotiated as Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs) as part of penalty settlements in several significant enforcement cases. Such projects included replacement of outdated systems to improve materials usage and reduce waste and replacement of equipment that requires the use of chemicals that end up as hazardous wastes streams. Also, assistance to other facilities with similar problems, education and outreach on environmental issues and spill and leak prevention equipment and improvements are included in some SEPs that are considered pollution prevention based.
