(c) All written P2 Plans shall:
(i) Specify the facility, facilities, or
portions thereof that are covered by the P2 Plan. A P2 Plan may cover all or

of a company. In order to satisfy VRP eligibility requirements, a P2 Plan shall
apply to the entire facility where a release being proposed for the VRP has
occurred;

and an estimate of the volume of products and/or services produced each year. A
schematic drawing and/or facility map shall be provided;
(v) Identify and describe by type and volume,
the contaminants used in facility processes and/or service activities. Include
the purposes that the contaminants serve (e.g., degreasing), and information on
how and where the contaminants are received, stored, and managed at the
facility;
(vi) Evaluate facility
processes and/or service activities that involve use, management or storage of
contaminants and identify changes to these processes and/or service activities
that have the potential to:
(A) Reduce or
eliminate the volume or toxicity of contaminants used at a facility, entering a
waste stream, or otherwise released to the environment; and practices or
activities that otherwise reduce the volume or toxicity of any waste stream;
and
(B) Prevent releases from
accidental spillage through proper management of contaminants.
(d) Based on the evaluation carried out under (c)(vi) of this Section, and the minimum pollution prevention operating standards presented in Section 7 of this Chapter, all written P2 Plans shall:
(i) Identify and
describe the pollution prevention activities that will be implemented at the
facility, and specify a schedule for implementation including key milestones
leading towards completion of each pollution prevention activity and goals for
when each activity will be fully implemented;
(ii) Describe the efforts that will be made
to increase employee awareness of and/or training on pollution prevention,
including: initial pollution prevention training, orientation practices for new
employees and appropriate refresher training; and
(iii) Describe the documentation and records
that will be maintained to facilitate evaluation and quantification of
pollution prevention activities.
(e) Plan maintenance, evaluation and modification. Each written P2 Plan shall include procedures and schedules to:
(i) Evaluate the degree of P2 Plan
implementation;
(ii) Quantify the
success of pollution prevention activities; and
(iii) Modify the plan as needed.
