• We control what comes into our facilities through implementation of an Inbound Materials Source Control Program. Elements of this program include communicating by various media what we can and cannot accept to our suppliers, inspecting materials as they arrive, and responding to the discovery of unauthorized materials.

• We implement site-specific pollution prevention plans required by environmental regulations and corporate policies to further prevent pollution. Examples include Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans, Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plans, Wastewater Discharge Plans, and Engineered Barrier Maintenance Plans.

• We implement structural and management controls for recyclable materials deemed environmentally significant.

• We obtain required environmental permits, registrations, and licenses pertaining to our operations.

• We implement practices to minimize air emissions from our smelting furnace.

• We continue to implement strategies and explore opportunities to conserve energy, fuel, and oil used in our operations.

• We properly manage byproducts and wastes generated from our operations and in the spirit of our EMS, we continually explore ways to improve recovery and increase reuse and recycling opportunities.

• We perform environmental training to facility personnel through development of a computerized environmental training module system.

• To continually improve our environmental programs, we review the environmental aspects of our scrap metal recycling operations annually and develop new environmental programs and initiatives as emergent issues arise.
