Rood Your King Jam*. < BIblo, Fray, And Thank •Ood Ivory Daryl K ' Carolina Businesses Generate 2.6 Billion Pounds Of Waste Raleigh - Approximately 2.6 billion pounds of hazardous waste were generated by 690 Industries and businesses in North Carolina during 196S. a decrease of 56 per cent from 1984. according to the annual report on hazardous waste released this week by the N.C. Department of Human Resources’ Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Branch. The decrease j from 1984 to 1985 was due primarily to the largest hazardous waste generator in the state implementing procedures to minimize the waste generated by substituting chemicals and modifying its waste treatment processes to reduce the amount of waste generated, according to Branch Head Bill Meyer. t— "Hazardous waste is a necessary by-product of industrial manufac turing processes and it is essential that industry and state agencies continue to coppers lively implement a waste reduction, handling and treatment program." Meyer said. Each year the Branch sends ques tionnaires to all facilities which have sent notification of hazardous waste activities. The responses from the questionnaires provide the ingor mation which makes up the annual report. Six hundred and 90 genera tors and 77 treatment, storage or disposal facilities participated in the 1985 survey, according to Meyer. The majority of hazardous waste generated in the state during 1985 (about 91.5 percent) was treated of detoxified on-site at the industries and businesses where it was produced, Meyer said. Less than 4.7 percent of the waste material produced (about 141 million pounds) was shipped out-of-state for treatment or disposal. Approximate ly 114 million pounds (3.8 percent of the total North Carolina waste generated) was treated ft North Carolina off-site facilities. Most of this waste was either incinerated or recycled at solvent recovery faci lities, Meyer added. Less than 86.5 million pounds of the waste shipped out-of-state was placed in landfills. Approximately 2.7 percent (80 million pounds) of the waste was recovered for reuse. Fivo '"'pes of North CarciHa industries were responsible for generating over 92 percent of the hazardous waste produced in the state in 1985, according to the report. These industries included chemical and allied products, electronics and electonic equipment companies, machinery, fabricated metal, furniture and fixtures. There were 700 generators in the state in 1985. Seventy-six of these generators treated, stored or dis posed of their own wastes. The annual report lists Mecklenburg County companies as the largest generators of hazardous waste in the state, producing ow 1A billion pounds of hazardous waste in 1985. Other counties with companies generating major .amounts of hazardous waste, i*< order, are Durham, Lee. SurryJL Buncombe, and Nash. A hazardous waste is defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection^ Agency as one that could pos<L dangers to human health and the environment after it is dizcardecL Examples are wastes that are T capable of burning or causing a fire; capable of eating away materials and human tissue; capable of inter acting with air or water causing an explosion and the release of poison ous fumes; and, capable of ' poisoning humans.
