The Experiment. The Intel project’s goal is to implement an Environmental Management Master Plan that includes a facility-wide cap on air emis- sions to replace individual permit limits for differ- ent air emission sources. The Intel project provides a test case for two innovations for improving air permitting: the elimination of case-by-case review of specific manufacturing process changes, if emis- sions remain under a capped amount, and preapproval of a major plant expansion, if emis- sions remain below a capped amount for the entire site. The Flexibility: EPA, the State of Arizona, and the Maricopa County Environmental Services De- partment have revised Intel’s air quality permit cov- ering preconstruction review under the Clean Air Act. The revised air quality permit provides a sitewide cap on air emissions for nitrogen oxides
The Experiment. The Puget Sound Naval Ship- yard proposes to develop and demonstrate an al- ternative strategy for protecting and improving the health of Xxxxxxxx Inlet of the Puget Sound. This proposal would achieve its objectives through the use of sound ecological science and risk-based management and employ techniques consistent with the EPA Ecological Risk Assessment Guidelines. Key elements include development of a unified ambient monitoring program, comprehensive elec- tronic database, risk-based pollutant prioritization, and data to support the development of total maxi- mum daily loads (TMDLs). Development of these components is intended to suggest alternatives to current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements otherwise appli- cable to PSNS. The project would be a pilot pro- gram to demonstrate concepts currently under development to address water pollution associated with naval shipyards. The Flexibility: In Phase I, no regulatory flex- ibility is being sought. Rather, PSNS is proposing to conduct preliminary data collection and modeling for Xxxxxxxx Inlet and the watershed. Upon comple- tion of the data collection and review of its findings, PSNS may seek regulatory flexibility in Phase II. The Superior Environmental Performance: To assist in reaching the goal of superior environmen- tal performance, Puget Sound shipyard will use the unified database in: The Project Sponsor: The Xxxxxxx Kodak Com- pany (Kodak) is the world’s leader in imaging, and a manufacturer of imaging systems (cameras, scan- ners) and media (film, photographic paper, photo- graphic chemicals). Kodak employs 46,300 people in the United States and has manufacturing facili- ties in Rochester, NY; Windsor, CO; Peabody, MA; and White City, OR. The Health and Environment Laboratories (HAEL) division of Kodak is a cen- tral/corporate facility that evaluates materials and equipment that are involved in manufacturing pro- cesses or are being considered for use in new prod- ucts. As a leader in new technology development in the imaging industry, Kodak submits many new chemical substances to EPA for review each year. Once approved, these substances may be used in one or several of the company’s facilities, and it is these substances that allow the company to de- velop and improve the products it sells. The Experiment: The EPA Office of Preven- tion, Pesticides and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) has developed a set of computerized risk screening tools called the Pollution Preve...
The Experiment. In most electroplating and metal finishing manufacturing processes today, wash and rinse water is used once then treated on-site and discharged. USFilter proposes to install an ion ex- change system at certain approved customers’ fa- cilities that removes metal contaminants from the water, making it available for reuse. The system consists of ion exchange canisters that USFilter would install on the customer’s (primarily metal fin- ishers and electroplaters) process lines that con- tain wastewaters. The ion exchange process causes the metals in the wastewater to adhere to the resin material in the canister, rendering the water free of metal contaminants. The water can then be reused in the customer’s process lines. USFilter would collect the spent ion exchange canister con- taining the metals (using Minnesota Department of Transportation hazardous waste licensed transport- ers), replace the spent canister with a fresh one at the generator facility, and treat the spent resin at USFilter’s facility in order to regenerate it.
The Experiment. The Imation XL project builds upon the 1996 covenant between Imation and the State of California and is testing whether innova- tive permitting and NSR strategies can be used to enable the company to make facility changes with- out delay (i.e., avoiding case-by-case approvals) while producing superior environmental perfor- xxxxx. To avoid potential delays and streamline approval, this experiment is employing two prin- cipal mechanisms. First, the company has accepted a plant-wide cap on VOC emissions, and second, the company’s Title V permit (required by the CAA) was designed to characterize Imation’s an- ticipated changes as alternative operating sce- narios.
The Experiment. In our experiment, a laser beam at fixed wavelength (λ = 532 nm) is injected into a sym- metric stable (Xxxxx-Xxxxx) cavity to match its TEM00 mode. The cavity is constructed with two nominally identical highly reflective mirrors (specified reflectivity > 99.8%), hav- ing a radius of curvature of R = 50 cm and a diameter of D = 5 cm. We operate the cavity close to a frequency-degenerate point, where the eigenfrequencies of the Hermite- Gaussian (HG) eigenmodes separate into N groups of almost frequency-degenerate modes. At frequency-degeneracy, the Gouy phase θ0, being the round-trip phase delay between the fundamental HG mode as compared to a reference plane wave, is by definition a rational fraction of 2π: θ0 = 2π/N, the paraxial phase delay of higher-order modes (TEMmn) be- ing (m + n + 1)θ0 [12]. In a ray picture of a frequency-degenerate resonator, the ray path closes itself after N (equal to the number of hit points on each mirror) round-trips inside the resonator [21]. For stability reasons, we avoided the popular confocal (N = 2) configu- ration [12]. By way of example, we restrict the discussion to N = 4, this corresponds to a cavity length L = 14.6 cm at R = 50 cm. We measure transmission spectra by scanning the cavity length L over a few wavelengths
3.1 shows the finesse as a function of the cavity length, which can be accurately adjusted with a translation stage. Note, how the finesse drops from 1300 to × 600 around frequency-degeneracy over a range (FWHM) of δ = ΔL/R = 4.3 10−4. This range corresponds to a frequency difference Δν = 0.78 MHz between consecutive classes of transverse modes (Δ(m + n) = N = 4). The inset shows that the resonance width more than doubles and that the corresponding peak transmission is reduced to below 50% for spectra at δ = 0 as compared to δ = −1 × 10−3.
3.2 The experiment
The Experiment. The experiment will demonstrate how data from remote monitoring instrumentation may be securely and efficiently acquired, processed/packaged, and shared with different parties. As a first step to this experiment, candidate experiments will be identified after a sufficient amount of research has been conducted for the study. Sandia and PNC will then jointly determine which candidate experiments(s) will be most feasible and useful to undertake. Though it is envisioned that other candidate experiments will be identified after working on the study, three potential candidate areas for an experiment in transparency are as follows:
1. an experiment using data form the RMS at the facility
2. an experiment in waste management associated with planned Sandia activity at PNC
3. an experiment with radionuclide monitoring technology The deliverable will be a demonstration along with experiment documentation.
The Experiment. The HADCO project is ex- amining whether valuable copper metals can be recovered more safely and cost effectively through direct reuse by a primary metals smelter rather than through following the current requirement to first ship copper sludge wastes long distances to inter- mediate processors. EPA will be able to develop a framework to address the potential transferability of this type of regulatory flexibility to other PWB manufacturers. The Flexibility: To improve recycling and reduce risks to the surrounding communities, EPA, the State of New York, and the State of New Hamp- shire are offering flexibility in solid waste disposal from three HADCO facilities. Testing of the facili- ties’ sludge from wastes from electroplating pro- cesses indicate that these sludges have a high concentration of several valuable metals, especially copper, and relatively low toxicity in comparison to typical electroplating sludges. New Hampshire has determined that the sludge is eligible for a solid waste variance or a conditional delisting. New York has determined that the sludge is eligible for a solid waste variance. If petitions from the facilities for a variance or delisting are approved, the sludges will not have to be sent to a pretreatment facility prior to recycling. The Superior Environmental Performance: HADCO has committed to using all savings real- ized from this project to expand its pollution pre- vention and recycling programs. HADCO has also committed to recycling copper dust, which is an- other byproduct of its operations, and to examining the potential of installing sludge dryers to reduce the volume of sludge wastes.

The Experiment. The HADCO project was ex- amining whether valuable copper metals could be recovered more safely and cost-effectively through direct reuse by a primary metals smelter rather than through following the current requirement to first ship copper sludge wastes long distances to inter- mediate processors. Based on HADCO’s experi- ences with this project through close out, EPA can develop a framework to address the potential is- sues that this type of project may encounter and that can hinder a company’s ability to achieve su- perior environmental performance. The Flexibility: To improve recycling and reduce risks to the surrounding communities, EPA, the State of New York, and the State of New Hamp- shire offered flexibility in solid waste disposal to three HADCO facilities. Testing of the facilities’ sludge from wastes from electroplating processes indicated that these sludges had a high concentra- tion of several valuable metals, especially copper, and relatively low toxicity in comparison to typi- cal electroplating sludges. New Hampshire deter- mined that the sludge was eligible for a solid waste variance or a conditional delisting. New York de- termined that the sludge was eligible for a solid waste variance. Although the project is in the pro- cess of being closed out, the company intends to The Superior Environmental Performance: Under the original project, HADCO committed to using all savings realized from this project to ex- pand its pollution prevention and recycling pro- grams. HADCO also committed to recycling copper dust, which is another byproduct of its op- erations, and to examining the potential of install- ing additional sludge dryers to reduce the volume of sludge wastes as HADCO currently employs some sludge drying in each of the three facilities.
