- Want some confidential help in answering any of the above questions?
- Call DNREC’s Pollution Prevention and Compliance Assistance Program (P2/CA)
The Pollution Prevention Program was established in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) by the General Assembly in 1990 as a non-regulatory program to provide assistance to businesses and industrial facilities in identifying and implementing waste reduction opportunities.
The Pollution Prevention Program promotes movement to the top of the Waste Management Hierarchy, from managing waste to reducing or eliminating waste generation:
- Source Reduction
- Recycling
- Treatment
- Disposal
Changes in waste management practices to source reduction/pollution prevention approaches often result not only in environmental benefits, but economic benefits as well.
If waste is not generated, there are no costs involved in handling or disposing of it. Investments in source reduction are often recouped through reduced waste management costs in addition to potential process and product improvements.
The Pollution Prevention Program provides non-regulatory assistance to businesses and industrial facilities in identifying and implementing cost effective waste reduction opportunities. Services provided include:
- On-site Waste Reduction Technical Assistance
- Pollution Prevention Industry Roundtable
- Pollution Prevention guides and manuals
- Waste Reduction Technical Library
Presentations
Pollution Prevention Program staff are available to give presentations and lectures on pollution prevention for employees, business groups, as well as school, civic and government groups.
Small Business and the Clean Air Act
The Small Business Assistance Program is available through P2/CA to help small businesses understand and comply with the requirements of the Clean Air Act. The small business Ombudsman is the initial contact within this non-regulatory program which offers:
- Industry specific compliance information
- On-site visits to determine compliance status and if necessary, a plan of action to achieve compliance
- Input at the legislative level on matters that impact small business
For friendly assistance call your Ombudsman, at the toll free number from anywhere in Delaware.
