NOTICE REQUIRING THE PREPARATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF POLLUTION PREVENTION PLANS IN RESPECT OF DICHLOROMETHANE

1. Person or class of persons required to prepare and implement a pollution prevention plan

This Notice applies to any person or class of persons who, on the date of publication of this notice:

(1) has used 1 000 kg or more of dichloromethane per year during one year or more since January 1, 1995; and

(2) owns a facility that uses dichloromethane and is involved in:

(a) aircraft paint stripping activities, including the stripping of aircraft components;
(b) flexible polyurethane foam blowing activities;
(c) pharmaceuticals a nd chemical intermediates manufacturing and tablet coating activities;
(d) industrial cleaning activities; or
(e) adhesives formulation activities.

With respect to subsections 1(1) and 1(2), this Notice does not apply to any person or class of persons who:

(3) has achieved, by the publication date of this Notice, the applicable percentage reductions outlined in the risk management objective(s) specified in subsection 3(1) of this Notice; or

(4) has eliminated, by the publication date of this Notice, the use of dichloromethane entirely from their facility involved in any activity referred to in subsection 1(2).

For persons or class of persons who start using 1 000 kg per year or more of dichloromethane, or persons described in subsection 1(3) who cease to meet the applicable percentage reductions outlined in the risk management objective(s) after the date of publication of this Notice, the Minister will consider taking additional measures in order to ensure that the risk management objective is achieved.

2. Activities in relation to which the plan is to be prepared

The Minister requires all persons identified in section 1 to prepare and implement a pollution prevention plan in relation to the following activities involving dichloromethane:

(1) aircraft paint stripping, including the stripping of aircraft components;

(2) flexible polyurethane foam blowing;

(3) pharmaceuticals and chemical intermediates manufacturing and tablet coating;

(4) industrial cleaning; and

(5) adhesives formulation.

3. Factors to be considered in preparing the plan

The Minister requires all persons identified in section 1 to consider the following factors when preparing their pollution prevention plan:

(1) The Minister of the Environment's risk management objective is to reduce aggregate dichloromethane releases from the persons identified in section 1 by 85 percent from 1995 base year levels by January 1, 2007.

In order to achieve this objective, the persons identified in section 1 shall consider the following risk management objectives as factors when preparing their pollution prevention plan:

(a) for persons involved in aircraft paint stripping activities, including the stripping of aircraft components, to reduce annual releases of dichloromethane from 1995 base year levels from these activities by 50 percent by December 1, 2004, and by 80 percent by January 1, 2007;

(b) for persons involved in flexible polyurethane foam blowing activities, to reduce annual releases of dichloromethane from 1995 base year levels from these activities by 50 percent by December 1, 2004, and by 100 percent by January 1, 2007;

(c) for persons involved in pharmaceuticals and chemical intermediates manufacturing and tablet coating activities, to reduce annual releases of dichloromethane from 1995 base year levels from these activities by 90 percent or to have installed preventive or control technology with 90 percent capture efficiency by December 1, 2004;

(d) for persons using dichloromethane in industrial cleaning activities, except those described in paragraph (e), to reduce annual releases of dichloromethane from 1995 base year levels from these activities by 50 percent by December 1, 2004, and by 80 percent by January 1, 2007;

(e) for persons using dichloromethane in industrial cleaning activities to clean the mixing chamber of low-pressure reaction injection molding machines, the elimination of this use by January 1, 2007; and

(f) for persons involved in adhesives formulation activities, to reduce the use of dichloromethane from 1995 base year levels from these activities by 70 percent by December 1, 2004.

(2) Dichloromethane was declared toxic under subsection 11(a) and (c) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1988, and added to the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999). According to the Priority Substances List Assessment Report — Dichloromethane, dichloromethane has been classified as being "probably carcinogenic to humans". It occurs at concentrations that may be harmful to the environment and may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.

(3) In preparing a pollution prevention plan, priority is to be given to pollution prevention activities, that is, the use of processes, practices, materials, products, substances or energy that avoid or minimize the creation of pollutants and waste and reduce the overall risk to the environment or human health (definition of "pollution prevention" as found in section 3 of CEPA 1999).

4. Period within which the plan is to be prepared

The Minister requires that the plan be prepared and begin to be implemented within six months of the publication date of this Notice.

5. Period within which the plan is to be implemented

The Minister requires that the plan be implemented by the dates listed in Table 1:

Table 1: Pollution Prevention Plan Implementation Deadlines

5.0 Action(s) Taken and Results Achieved

5.1 Action(s) Taken

The following section (Parts 5.1.1. through 5.1.6) must be completed separately for each action taken in the P2 plan, i.e., this section will be completed as many times as there are actions taken to report.

In Part 5.1.1, describe for the activity identified in Part 3.0 of this Declaration, the action taken in implementing the Pollution Prevention Plan. If you have previously filed an Interim Progress Report, report only those actions that have been taken since the last Interim Progress Report. In Parts 5.1.2 and 5.1.3, identify whether the action represents pollution prevention method(s) or other environmental protection method(s), by selecting from the list of options provided below. In Part 5.1.4, report, where possible, the corresponding change to annual uses, releases and/or transfers of the Substance achieved from implementation of that action in kilograms. Indicate a decrease with a negative sign ("-") and an increase with a positive sign ("+") in front of the reported quantity. Note that estimating a quantitative change for some actions taken, such as training, may not be possible. In Part 5.1.5, relate these changes to a specific element(s) of the baseline information described in Part 4 of this Declaration using the appropriate alphabetical label. Refer to the Instruction Booklet for a listing of alphabetical labels. Finally, in Part 5.1.6, identify the completion date for each action taken.

5.2 Total Results Achieved

The table below summarizes, for the activity identified in Part 3.0 of this Declaration, the total change achieved to annual uses, releases and/or transfers of the Substance in kilograms and as a percentage relative to both 2002 and 1995 as reported in the "Declaration that a Pollution Prevention Plan has been Prepared and is being Implemented — Dichloromethane (Section 58(2) of CEPA 1999)" (Declaration of Preparation).

In the first two columns, relative to 2002, report those changes achieved from ALL actions taken as a result of implementing the pollution prevention plan.

In the last two columns, relative to 1995, include both the changes reported in the first two columns and those achieved between 1995 and 2002 as reported in Parts 4.2 to 4.4 of the Declaration of Preparation.
