Session 5 Panel - Policies on Management of Hg Stockpiles & Hg-Bearing Waste: Chloralkali Industry Proposal Introduction Chlorine Institute Binational Toxics Strategy Commitment/Results Hg Retirement Proposal

Session 5 Panel - Policies on Management of Hg Stockpiles & Hg-Bearing Waste: Chloralkali Industry Proposal - Introduction to the Chlorine Institute Trade Association Primary Mission –Foster Safe Production, Handling, and Use of Chlorine and Related Chemicals Primary Work Product –Technical Publications, Drawings, and Videos

Session 5 Panel - Policies on Management of Hg Stockpiles & Hg-Bearing Waste: Chloralkali Industry Proposal - Introduction to the Chlorine Institute Six (6) Companies Use Hg Cell Process 10 Hg Cell Facilities in 9 States –(AL, DE, GA, LA, OH, TN, TX, WI, and WV) About 10% of Domestic Chloralkali Production from Hg Cell Process

Session 5 Panel - Policies on Management of Hg Stockpiles & Hg-Bearing Waste: Chloralkali Industry Proposal - Binational Toxics Strategy Commitment/Results Reduce Hg Use by 50% or More from the Base Period by 2005, and Provide EPA with Annual Progress Report For Year 2001, 5th Annual Report showed 75% Reduction in Hg Use - 4 Years Early!

Session 5 Panel - Policies on Management of Hg Stockpiles & Hg-Bearing Waste: Chloralkali Industry Proposal Mercury is a Marketable Commodity NOT A HAZARDOUS WASTE!!!

Session 5 Panel - Policies on Management of Hg Stockpiles & Hg-Bearing Waste: Chloralkali Industry Proposal In U.S., supply of Hg from facilities (e.g., Strategic Reserves, converted/shut down Hg cell plants) exceeds demand. Net demand seems to exist on world-wide basis. If Hg recovery processes cannot meet legitimate future demand, Strategic Reserves should be made available, rather than mining virgin Hg.

Session 5 Panel - Policies on Management of Hg Stockpiles & Hg-Bearing Waste: Chloralkali Industry Proposal Establish U.S. National Policy that would 1) identify acceptable world-wide outlets, instead of utilizing the present free market approach, and 2) result in a Hg retirement process predicated on the government taking title to and assuming full responsibility for permanent management of such Hg in accordance with appropriate regulations and standards.

Session 5 Panel - Policies on Management of Hg Stockpiles & Hg-Bearing Waste: Chloralkali Industry Proposal Our desire is to work cooperatively with all parties to address Hg issues pertaining to Chloralkai manufacturing. Mercury Retirement is such an issue!
