Davenport Plastics Molding Facility

SERVICE:

ISO 14001 Certification Process Leads to Reduced Wastewater Discharge

DESCRIPTION:

Solar Plastics custom manufactures molded liquid storage tanks and related specialty parts. Tech staff successfully obtained ISO 14001 Environmental Certification for a facility in Davenport, IA, and in the process identified an environmental discharge that could be eliminated.

Based on the client's compliance with Davenport's monitoring program and consecutive periods of process chemical non-detections in the effluent,Tech staff suggested that this permitting requirement be eliminated. Tech confirmed the client had not previously submitted Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventory Forms (Tier II reports) that businesses are required to prepare based on the types, quantities and locations of hazardous chemicals at a given facility. This is a combined annual notification to the USEPA, Local Emergency Planning Committees and State Emergency Response Commissions to identify designated facility contacts, plan for and respond to chemical emergencies.
