Abstract | In late 1989, Amoco Corporation and the United States Environmental Protection Agency began a voluntary, joint project to study pollution prevention opportunities at an industrial facility. The Amoco/EPA Workgroup, composed of EPA, Amoco and Commonwealth of Virginia staff, agreed to use Amoco Oil Company's refinery at Yorktown, Virginia, to conduct a multi-media assessment of releases to the environment, then to develop and evaluate options to reduce these releases. The Workgroup identified five tasks for this study: 1. Inventory refinery releases to the environment to define their chemical type, quantity, source, and medium of release. 2. Develop options to reduce selected releases identified. 3. Rank and prioritize the options based on a variety of criteria and perspectives. 4. Identify and evaluate factors such as technical, legislative, regulatory, institutional, permitting, and economic, that impede or encourage pollution prevention. 5. Enhance participants' knowledge of refinery and regulatory systems. |
