    2. This law was drafted in 1990 It is a National Legislation It is regulated and enforced by _______________________ This act established federal policies and goals that encourage the reduction of hazardous substance use and hazardous waste generation. Facilities that generate 2,640 lbs or more of hazardous waste per year or facilities required to report under the federal law called the “Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act” (EPCRA) must prepare a Pollution Prevention Plan. Pollution Prevention (P2) Plans must include a description of the facility, the processes used and the products or services provided. P2 Plans are five-year plans that must also identify hazardous substances used and hazardous wastes generated

    3. The focus of P2 Plans is the identification and evaluation of all reasonable opportunities for reductions in the use of hazardous substances and the reduction, recycling and treatment of hazardous substances. The plan must also list those opportunities selected for implementation, performance goals for the five-year plan, and an implementation schedule. Annual Progress Reports providing information on the progress made in implementing the plan must be submitted to Ecology and the five-year plan must be updated at the end of the five year cycle.
