generate hazardous waste in the chemical industry. Much
information on the nature of the wastes exists; thus the
major effort of this task will be to assemble the data in a
useful form. A very important part of this activity, one
requiring close interaction with industry, will be to obtain
detailed information on processes that generate wastes.
b. Determination of which processes should be the
focus of further work and development of interactions with
industrial locations using these processes.
c. Determination of appropriate methods to reduce,
eliminate or recycle the wastes generated by these process-es.
North Carolina's chemical industry is characterized by
a large number of small and technically unsophisticated
companies. An important part of the project will be an
effort to use technology developed by large companies, with
their engineering capability, to help solve the waste
problems of the small companies.
d. Implementation of several pollution prevention
techniques in the chemical industry; through project imple-mentation
and information dissemination involving direct
involvement with industry, workshops and technical meetings,
reports and manuals.
The Committee endorses and supports University budget
requests totalling approximately $145,000 to initiate the
pollution prevention program at North Carolina State Univer-sity.
