INTRODUCTION Since the adoption of Agenda 21 at the Earth Summit (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), there has been international recognition of the need for pollutant emission inventories. To this end, the Agenda mandates the improvement of databases and information systems on substances and pollutants. Likewise, the Agenda recognizes the community’s right to information. As a consequence, there has been a change worldwide from command and control policies to policies designed to involve all stakeholders, generating tools such as Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers (PRTRs), which include emissions inventories for multiple media (water, air, soil), providing a broader perspective on the environmental condition of a country and enabling decision-making based on more and better information. The OECD has encouraged this requirement through a specific recommendation to its member countries to implement a PRTR. Thus, the PRTR implemented in Chile has become a national repository for information on pollutant emissions and transfers, the primary objective of which is to reduce the risks posed by these contaminants to the population. The public and private sectors have worked together to improve information collection and dissemination systems. This has created greater awareness among citizens about the risks to which they are exposed and provides regular, updated information to improve environmental management and the design and monitoring of environmental policies. An event of major importance to the country this year was the implementation in October of the new institutional framework for the environment, as established by Law N° 20,417. In this law, the PRTR is stipulated as a permanent function of the Ministry of the Environment, supporting the management of four of the key areas for the institution: air, solid waste, climate change and water. Dissemination of PRTR information by key area With respect to AIR, the PRTR contains an inventory, updated annually, of fixed air sources from more than 7,000 facilitiies. It also generates an annual inventory of mobile sources in the transport sector (more than 2 million vehicles) for the largest cities in the country, where more than 80% of the population lives. This data is used to prepare or revise the emissions standards and to determine latent and saturated zones as well as to design prevention and decontamination plans. Compliance with emissions standards and decontamination plans are then published in the PRTR report, so that the public has access to this information. Regarding SOLID WASTE, Law N° 20,417 stipulates that the PRTR must register and systematize the nature, volume and destination of solid waste which has been generated. With respect to CLIMATE CHANGE, since 2005 the PRTR estimates the emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere at the emitting facility level, using the IPCC’s methodologies. This information, along with data generated by the Ministry's Climate Change Department, enables preparation of GHG inventories, which are the basis for areas of work and actions both domestically and internationally on this subject. Finally, for WATER, the PRTR publishes registries detailing compliance with the three emissions or discharge standards which are currently in force in the country (Supreme Decrees 90, 46 and 609). This information is also used to prepare or revise emissions standards. 3


Dissemination of PRTR information by environmental management instruments With its entrance into the OECD, Chile must now monitor its environmental policies through a questionnaire on the state of the environment. A set of environmental indicators has been established for this purpose. The PRTR is used as an information tool about fixed and mobile sources of emissions for the air component. With the future implementation of its one-stop shop, the PRTR will be the repository of information on emissions into water and the transfer of liquid industrial waste (LIW) and solid waste. The PRTR will also be the source of information on the status of these components. It should also be noted that all OECD countries must report air, water and soil emissions by production sectors to the OECD’s PRTR network data center, a mandate with which Chile has been complying since 2009. Regarding the community’s right to information, in partnership with the NGOs which participate in the PRTR (Fundación Terram and Greenpeace), we have developed a National Strategy for Skills Development in Non-governmental Organizations and Civil Society (Estrategia Nacional para la Generación de Capacidades en Organizaciones no Gubernamentales y en la Sociedad Civil) for managing PRTR information. This has included workshops to publicize and give training in the use of the tool in different regions of the country. As part of the implementation of this strategy, we have published manuals, posters and brochures, and have carried out awareness campaigns in the Metro and on local radio stations in various regions around the country. We have trained monitors whose mission is to disseminate the use of this tool in their communities, with which we have direct communication through the PRTR Citizen Portal (Portal Ciudadano del RETC). In the area of local environmental management, municipalities which belong to the Municipal Environmental Certification System (Sistema de Certificación Ambiental Municipal) are being trained to use the PRTR. We have carried out two training campaigns (2006 and 2009) in all regions of the country with the industrial sectors which report to the PRTR, to support their pollutant emissions and transfer declarations. We will also publish a PRTR user manual for the industrial sector, which is being validated by industry associations through workshops to be held in the northern, central and southern parts of the country. This joint effort is being carried out by the Ministry of the Environment and the Federation of Production and Commerce (Confederación de la Producción y el Comercio) and the Chilean Federation of Industry (SOFOFA). We hope to be able to replicate the experiences of countries which have had a PRTR for more than two decades. They have shown that PRTR information has motivated companies to act by increasing process efficiency, eliminating unnecessary costs and reducing environmental hazards. The industrial sectors of these countries have shown that a PRTR has more impact than many regulatory programs, even when the PRTR does not require environmental improvements. Simply having this information available encourages companies to take pollution prevention actions. Finally, it is important to note that with the debut of the new institutional framework, new organizations have been created, each of which has independent attributes and functions: The Ministry of the Environment, the Environmental Assessment Service (Servicio de Evaluación Ambiental) and the Superintendence of the Environment (Superintendencia del Medio Ambiente). The PRTR resides within the Ministry of the Environment, as has been mentioned, but this tool may be a valuable element enabling these new institutions to fulfill their obligations. The PRTR could support the Environmental Assessment Service’s baseline information on the projects submitted to the Environmental Impact Assessment System (Sistema de Evaluación de Impacto Ambiental, or SEIA), which is available to the public and 4


georeferenced. For the Superintendent of the Environment, through its one-stop shop, the PRTR could be used to provide information to the National System of Environmental Enforcement Information (Sistema Nacional de Información de Fiscalización Ambiental) with reports from regulated sectors which must comply with emissions standards, decontamination plans, and compliance with the emissions and transfer conditions of Environmental Qualification Resolutions (Resoluciones de Calificación Ambiental, or RCA).

1. SCOPE This document is the fourth report on the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) made available to the national and international communities in order to guarantee adequate public access to all the information on release and transfer of pollutants that is available to environmental authorities for the years 2005-2008. By publishing this document, the Ministry of the Environment and the National PRTR Coordinating Group are complying with the obligations undertaken in the context of the Chilean National Proposal for Implementing the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register and its Plan of Action.

2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1 General introduction to the PRTR A Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) is a database or register containing information on the release and transfer of potentially harmful chemicals into the environment. The PRTR includes information on the nature and quantities of releases and transfers. The data for Chile correspond to stationary (industrial) sources and diffuse (transportation) sources. The Register covers chemicals released into air and water, as well as hazardous residues transported for treatment or final disposal.

Key features of the PRTR include the following: Regular collection of information on pollutant releases and transfers, obtained from compliance procedures related to Chilean emissions standards, which make it possible to identify changes over time. The use of estimation methods (for example, use of balances of materials and estimation factors) to generate information on emissions and transfers; The use of common identifiers for chemicals, facilities, and locations, for ease of data comparison, and for expanding the relevant database; Information is stored in a digital format, for ease of analysis; Dissemination of the information for use in environmental management.

2.2 International framework Since the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) and the adoption of Agenda 21, interest has grown on the part of the international community and individual governments in establishing and using PRTR as a basic tool of environmental management. There now exists a great deal of relevant experience worldwide, and PRTR programmes have been implemented in most of the member countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), such as: The Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) in the United States, the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) in Canada, the National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) in Australia, the RETC in Mexico, etc. In parallel, the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) in cooperation with OECD, the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) have coordinated their efforts aimed at helping developing countries adopt PRTR as an efficient tool for environmental management. Along these lines, the Mexican experience is worthy of notice: the Mexican PRTR was implemented as a result of this international cooperation.

2.3 Implementation in Chile Starting in 2002, as part of the agenda of the Canada-Chile Commission for Environmental Cooperation, Chile began the process of assessing the possibility of implementing a PRTR for environmental management. To this end, a workshop was held with the participation of international experts, and the PRTR programmes of Canada, Mexico, and other countries were discussed. This workshop made it evident that Chile would benefit from developing a PRTR. As a result, the study “Situation Analysis and Feasibility of Establishing a Pollutant Release and Transfer Register in Chile� was undertaken from March to May 2003 with the support of Environment Canada, under a Memorandum of Agreement signed by UNITAR as the executive agency and CONAMA. Said Agreement was signed in December 2002.

On the occasion of the above study, the National Coordinating Group (GNC) was created, which is made up of representatives of all competent public agencies, the private sector, civil society organizations, and academia. The results of this study were twofold: identifying the uses of a national PRTR system, and assessing the available national infrastructure for the implementation of a PRTR in Chile. In a workshop held in June 2003, these results were made public along with international technical presentations delivered by representatives of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Environment Canada, and UNITAR. Simultaneously with this process, the Free Trade Agreement with the United States was ratified, which specifically mentioned the implementation of a PRTR in Chile as one of various Chile-US environmental cooperation projects. That same year, USEPA provided the necessary financing for the next design stages of the PRTR in Chile, as a result of which, CONAMA has driven forward the following projects:

“Design of the National System for the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register, Stage III”, executed from October 2003 to April 2004. As part of this project, specific work teams were established within the National Coordinating Group (GNC): the technical, legal, and data processing teams, who defined the key parameters for implementing the PRTR. Some of the main results were: a proposal for modifying Law N° 19,300 and a draft of its bylaws; definition of the various chemical substances; sectors to be included in the Register; and the creation of a centralized online database to administer PRTR data. Participation of civil society in the “Design of the National System for the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register, Stage III”, from November 2003 to April 2004. This project made it possible for civil society organizations to participate in designing the national PRTR. The main objective of the PRTR is to provide civil society with access to all available information on pollutant release into air, water, and land, as well as transfers for treatment or final disposal. This project opened the way for NGO participation in the design of the PRTR, and made it possible for them to prepare strategies for using PRTR information with a view to protecting public health and the environment. “Execution of a National PRTR Pilot Test”, May - December 2004. The main result of this pilot test was the creation of a database of pollutant emissions and transfers from a representative sample of industrial facilities in the Metropolitan and BioBio Regions, including atmospheric emissions, liquid effluents, generation of hazardous solid wastes and their transfer to final destinations, as well as atmospheric emissions from diffuse sources in Greater Santiago and Greater Concepción. This task involved coordinating and incorporating the available sectoral infrastructure from the following public agencies: General Directorate for the Maritime Territory and for the Merchant Navy (DIRECTEMAR), Superintendence of Sanitary Services (SISS), Regional Ministerial Secretariats of Health (SEREMIS), Ministry of Health (MINSAL), Secretariat for Transportation Planning (SECTRA), Ministry of Public Works’ Secretariat 10


for the Environment and Territory (SEMAT-MOP), National Statistics Institute (INE), Regional Directorates of CONAMA, and the central CONAMA administration. “Developing a National Proposal for a PRTR”, May 2005. This project involved defining the technical, data processing, administrative, institutional, and legal specifications for the implementation of the PRTR, as well as defining a plan of action for its implementation in Chile, and proposing actions in each area (legal, technical, data processing, advertising, and civil society participation) for the short term (2005-2006), medium term (2007-2008), and long term (from 2008 on). Approval for this initiative was granted on the following dates: CONAMA Consultive Panel, 9 July 2005 Inter-Ministerial Committee, 10 June 2005 CONAMA Directive Council, 23 June 2005 Scheme of Integrated Sectoral Systems Ministry of Health

2.4. Benefits of the PRTR The benefits of the PRTR for Chile are evident, because it provides key information for preventing and controlling pollution, and it provides answers to questions such as the following: What is the origin of the emissions and transfers that are affecting the environment? What chemicals are being emitted and transferred, and in what amounts?. On the basis of this information, government authorities may set priorities for the reduction or elimination of emissions that are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. Furthermore, Chile’s participation in important international conventions such as the Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse gases, the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer, and the Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants, make it possible for our country to comply with a large number of international obligations, including the creation and 11


regular updating of inventories of emissions, and/or tracking harmful chemicals throughout their life cycle. Moreover, Chile has entered into important free-trade agreements which commit our country to greater transparency regarding emissions from various sectors (industry, transportation, homes, agriculture, etc.), an obligation which is being met thanks to the implementation of the PRTR. The application of economic instruments, such as negotiable emissions permits - both local and global (carbon credits) - will require a great deal of information on emissions and operating conditions of emitting sources, and this data can be generated by the PRTR. In this sense, the PRTR will serve to identify business sectors for the application of said economic instruments. The creation of a national PRTR has made it possible to standardize the different sectoral databases, and this means that this data can now be compared. Moreover, PRTR implementation implies achieving a certain balance in terms of infrastructure available nationwide and standardizing methodologies for estimating emissions, and this in turn will drive the process of creating regulations, setting emissions base lines, generating prevention and decontamination plans, defining latent or saturated zones, and verifying compliance with environmental regulations. Similarly, the creation of integrated emissions databases makes it possible to improve our knowledge of environmental quality in various media. As an example, it is possible that when measuring the quality of a body of water, chemicals might now be identified which have originated in air pollution sources. Formerly this was impossible, because information was traditionally managed by public agencies in a strictly sectoral manner. Implementation of the PRTR involves creating a unified database on the operating conditions of the sources, which will satisfy the various sectoral information requirements. It will then be possible to move towards a one-stop shop for data reporting and input - this being something that has been strongly recommended by the international experts1 who have provided support for the implementation of a PRTR in Chile. Finally, the existence of a PRTR which is accessible to the public will reinforce the process of participation in public decision-making, as well as the public’s “right-to-know”, matters which are becoming ever more relevant worldwide, and which are the subject of different conventions, such as AARHUS2. In short, all sectors and stakeholders will benefit from the PRTR: government, industry, and the public. These benefits may be summarized as follows:

Government Public agencies will have access to updated information for environmental management, including: Creating uniform and comparable inventories of emissions, and determining the degree of magnitude of pollutant emissions into the various media. This makes it possible to rank the emissions sources by the magnitude of the emissions, and so to

set priorities in terms of measures aimed at reducing said emissions. Similarly, it will be easier to develop and evaluate prevention and decontamination plans. Comparing the magnitude of emissions during different periods of time, so that the degree of compliance with the various pollution reduction objectives can be measured through the analysis of indicators on emissions trends. Integrating PRTR information with geographical information systems, making it possible to identify areas of environmental interest, since the spatial distribution of emissions can now be known for the country’s various territorial divisions. Determining the degree of compliance with existing environmental legislation; supporting the enactment of new regulations; and evaluating the process of enforcement. Simplifying and rationalizing the procedures for requesting and providing information. This has advantages both for the State and for industry. Coordinating environmental management of pollutant emissions and transfer at the different governmental agencies involved, in accordance with the process of modernizing the State administration apparatus to make it more efficient. Facilitating the dissemination of information to various agencies and institutions, including: other State agencies and companies and business associations in the productive sector; promoting the education and participation of civil society; promoting modernization of key sectors of the economy, especially those that rely heavily on environmental goods and services: all of this, in order to improve environmental management. Facilitating the process of evaluating the environmental impact of future industrial and non-industrial activities, because of the existence of integrated emissions databases (base lines), geographical information, and centers for treatment and/or disposal of waste. Improving the performance and the public image of the various governmental agencies. Helping Chile comply with international agreements.

Industry Improving the efficiency of existing productive processes, with the ensuing savings in terms of materials and energy. This is because leaks and other emission creating inefficiencies will have been detected. Supporting the implementation of environmental management systems, and their certification, for example under ISO 14000.

13


Lowering production costs through the implementation of cleaner alternatives, and the reutilization of materials now viewed as waste. This also results in lower levels of emissions from specific sources, as reported by other countries that have already implemented PRTR. Lowering emissions from specific and diffuse sources through the introduction of changes such as: use of alternative chemicals, better control of the same, and greater efficiency of the equipment used in productive processes. Proposing actions aimed at mitigating environmental impact, or proposing wellplanned compensation actions, both of which improve relations between industry, government, and civil society. Diminishing the number of reports that industry has to submit to government. Improving the flow of new technologies within and between companies.

The Public In principle, people who are potentially exposed to risks due to chemicals, must have unrestricted access to information so that they may take appropriate protective action and make well informed decisions. As a result, the following benefits can be obtained: Making relevant information available to the public for decision-making in environmental matters. Letting civil society play a more active role in environmental management. Improving the quality of life through better understanding of the natural environment. Making reliable information available to the news media (the press, radio, and television), educational institutions, and research centers. Providing this information to social service and security agencies, such as hospitals, fire departments, the police, etc., enabling them to take rapid and adequate action in case of emergencies. Improving the quality of information available to academia, to educators, and to researchers.

2.5. Proposed solution In the majority of countries in which a PRTR has been implemented, the information comes from a specific report usually drawn up by the environmental authorities, and which is used by owners of facilitiies to declare, in a unique format, the emission of pollutants into the various media (air, water, land) as well as the transfer of hazardous residues for treatment in special facilitiies. In the case of the Chilean PRTR, it was decided not to issue a specific reporting form to be completed by owners of industrial facilitiies, because the diagnosis made after evaluating our environmental monitoring system showed that Chile already has an adequate information 14


base for creating a PRTR. This information is generated mostly during the process of applying regulations on the part of government supervisory bodies. Nevertheless, it was found that this information was scattered among different agencies. Therefore, it was decided that efforts should be focused on creating a central PRTR node to be administered by CONAMA. CONAMA coordinates and relays all sectoral information, and it also drafted regulations for those sectors about which there was little information at the national scale, such as atmospheric pollution emitted by industrial facilitiies. In fact, complete data was available only for the Metropolitan Region. In the other Regions, there was only partial information generated by decontamination plans for the mining sector and for specific projects that had been submitted to SEIA (Environmental Impact Assessment System). As a result of this analysis - and as part of PRTR activities - in 2005 a task force directed by MINSAL and CONAMA drafted and published MINSAL Supreme Decree N° 138, which created the National Atmospheric Emissions Reporting System, which applies to Chile’s major industrial sectors. In relation to hazardous waste release and transfer into water, it was found that adequate legislation for PRTR purposes already existed at the national level. The last step for setting up the PRTR was the creation of a central database (central node) at CONAMA, to which all sectoral agencies must relay their data annually and in predefined formats, in order to consolidate this information in the PRTR and to make it available to civil society through the www.retc.cl website.

2.6. Principles of the Plan of Action for implementing the PRTR in Chile a) As agreed by the National Coordinating Group (GNC), the PRTR will rely, during its initial stages, on existing administrative, legal, and technical infrastructure. b) The objectives of the PRTR must be transversal to the interests of all sectoral agencies involved. c) PRTR information will be administered by sectoral agencies in accordance with their mandates, and this principle will be followed for the duration of the Register. d) In line with the above point, any information classified as confidential must be administered exclusively by the agency having the corresponding mandate. e) In relation to the administration of confidential information, the PRTR central node will control access to such data on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with existing legislation and the guidelines issued by each sectoral agency. f) Notwithstanding the above, government agencies must be guaranteed full access to the information, in order to fulfill the objectives of the PRTR, when such objectives are transversal to the mandates of each agency or institution. g) The technical criteria and the methods used to validate or verify the accuracy of the data, will be defined exclusively by each agency, in accordance with the powers conferred by existing legislation to each agency. Thus, each sectoral agency, within the scope of its mandate, will be responsible for validating the validity or accuracy of the information to be reported to the PRTR. In this regard, the PRTR and its central administration will not question

15


the technical criteria used by each agency. Therefore, the information submitted to the System by each agency will be considered to be official. h) The information compiled should be available to all stakeholders. This means that the registries must be transparent and easily understandable. In this regard, it is vitally important to define the degree of access to information, for each of the interested or affected parties. i) The terms of the proposal for implementation of the PRTR must be agreed on by all stakeholders. j) Implementation of the system is viewed as a gradual process based on existing legislation, which will respect the specific sectoral mandates of each agency, but which will also ensure the effective and systematic fulfillment of PRTR objectives and requirements. k) In relation to dissemination of the information, it must be kept in mind that the PRTR website will be the principal means of access to the data, on the part of the general public, industry, and government agencies. Nevertheless, a printed version of the main conclusions of the report must be published for persons who do not have Internet access.

2.7. What INFORMATION is included in the PRTR? Air component: fixed sources Emissions data obtained by virtue of the following legal statutes: Statutes applicable throughout Chile: - Supreme Decree Nº 185/1991 of the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Mining, and Ministry of Health, which regulates the operation of facilitiies that emit sulphur dioxide, particulate material, and/or arsenic throughout the territory of Chile, in quantities equal to or greater than 3 tons/day of sulphur dioxide, or 1 ton/day of particulate material. This Decree will also apply to all sources of emissions of sulphur dioxide or particulate material, located in saturated or latent zones.

The Decree establishes Emission Standards for the purpose of regulating arsenic pollution discharged into the air. - Supreme Decree Nº 167/1999, MINSEGPRES. The Decree sets out Emission Standards for Nuisance Odours (Hydrogen Sulphide compounds and mercaptans: TRS gases) associated to the production of sulphated pulp. - Supreme Decree Nº 138/2005, MINSAL, applicable throughout the territory of Chile, which establishes the obligation to declare emissions on the part of owners of the following fixed source areas, activities or types of source: Furnaces that produce steam and/or hot water Production of cellulose Primary and secondary smelters Thermoelectric generation plants Production of cement, lime or plaster Production of glass Production of ceramic products Iron and steel industry Petrochemicals Asphalt Mobile generators

Under this regulation, which applies throughout the territory of Chile, the owners of facilitiies must report the emissions covered by the regulations, as well as the operating conditions of the fixed sources. The “calculator of emissions”3 processes this data to estimate emissions of non-regulated pollutants. For the application of this regulation, digital form N° 138 was created so that owners of facilitiies can report the data in a digital format. For further information, this program may be downloaded from the PRTR website (www.retc.cl).

- Ozone depleting substances (ODS): Law Nº 20,096 establishes controls on imports, production, and use of substances covered by the Montreal Protocol. This legal statute enforces compliance with international obligations undertaken by Chile in relation to reducing consumption of substances that deplete the ozone layer, and it also strengthens mechanisms allowing public access to information concerning the environmental effects of said substances and of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

The “calculator of emissions” is the result of migrating the Emissions Inventories Administration System developed by CONAMA RM in 2002, to an Internet platform. This System is a conceptual embodiment of calculation methodologies used for obtaining the complex inventories of atmospheric and suspended dust from industrial sources.

17


Organic Law Nº 17,374 of the National Statistics Institute (INE), grants this institution the power to obtain information from both the public and the private sectors. In this regard, the INE implemented the Annual National Industrial Survey (ENIA), which was then transferred to the PRTR. This survey records data on fuel consumption and on production levels at all Chilean manufacturing facilitiies with 10 or more workers. This data allows the Administration System for Inventories of Atmospheric Emissions (SAIE) to make estimates of atmospheric emissions from all facilitiies which are not obliged to submit reports under Supreme Decree Nº 138/2005 MINSAL. It is important to point out that the data in this survey are protected by Statistics secrecy regulations. Therefore, the results published by the PRTR may only be expressed as consolidated totals per economic activity.

- For the Metropolitan Region: - Supreme Decree Nº 4/1992, MINSAL. The Decree enacts Regulations on the Emission of Particulate Matter from fixed point and group sources in the Metropolitan Region. - Supreme Decree Nº 1.583/1992, MINSAL. This statute establishes Particulate Matter Emission Standards for stationary point sources which emit over 1 ton/day of particulate matter in the Metropolitan Region. - Supreme Decree Nº 1.905/1993, MINSAL. The Decree sets out Emission Standards for Particulate Matter from Heating Furnaces. - Supreme Decree Nº 58/2003, MINSEGPRES, which reformulates and updates the Atmospheric Decontamination and Prevention Plan (PPDA) for the Metropolitan Region, and which sets out emission standards and/or the obligation to take measurements of stationary sources of the following pollutants: carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. - Resolution Nº 15,027/1994, Metropolitan Environmental Health Service (SESMA) This Resolution creates the System for Declaring Emissions from Fixed Sources in the Metropolitan Region.

Air component: diffuse sources (mobile) For diffuse sources, SECTRA - an agency of the Ministry of Planning (MIDEPLAN) - developed the MODEM system for estimating vehicle emissions, which has been implemented in Chile’s main cities and whose results have been incorporated into the PRTR. Starting in 2009, an alternative to the MODEM methodology was developed for those cities that do not have a transportation model. As a result, 10 other cities have been included in the PRTR.

Liquid waste component (Emissions) SISS and DIRECTEMAR, by virtue of their mandates, already have adequate bodies of laws that allow them to obtain information on emissions/discharges into marine, continental, surface, and ground waters. This data will make it possible, in the short term, for the PRTR to report inventories of liquid waste at national level. Following is a list of the specific regulations:

18


Supreme Decree Nยบ 90/2000, MINSEGPRES. The Decree establishes Emissions Regulations for Pollutants associated to the discharge of liquid waste into marine and continental surface waters. Supreme Decree Nยบ 46/2002, MINSEGPRES. The Decree establishes Emissions Regulations for Liquid Waste discharged into groundwater. Supreme Decree Nยบ 80, MINSEGPRES. The Decree establishes Emissions Regulations for molybdenum and for sulphates in effluents discharged from tailings dams into the Caren brook.

Liquid waste component (Transfers) SISS has the necessary legal instruments to obtain information on transfers discharged into the storm-water/sewer systems, and these results will make it possible for the PRTR, in the short term, to report transfer inventories at national level. Following is a list of the specific regulations:

Supreme Decree Nยบ 609/1998, Ministry of Public Works (MOP). The Decree establishes Emissions Regulations for Pollutants associated to the discharge of liquid waste into storm-water/sewer systems.

Solid waste component (Transfers) Supreme Decree Nยบ 148/2004, MINSAL which approves the Sanitary Regulations on Handling Hazardous Waste, sets out the minimum sanitary and safety conditions that must exist during the generation, holding, storage, transportation, reutilization, recycling, final disposal, and other forms of elimination of hazardous waste. In Chapter VII concerning the Hazardous Waste Declaration and Monitoring System, this Regulation states that parties owning, holding, or processing hazardous waste are subject to a Declaration and Monitoring System of said waste, which is applicable throughout Chile and whose purpose is to provide the Sanitary Authorities with complete, updated, and timely information on such waste, from the moment it leaves the facility that emits or produces it, until it is received at the final disposal facility. MINSAL, with the assistance of CONAMA, has developed an online System for Declaring and Monitoring Hazardous Waste (SIDREP).

2.8. List of substances included in the PRTR During the design stage of the PRTR, and under conditions defined by the GNC, an initial list was proposed of substances to be included in the system. This list included substances and parameters already specified in existing regulations and in international treaties and conventions signed by Chile. As a result, the list covers a wide range of chemicals and different types of parameters covering substances of various origins and of different kinds. In other words, this basic list includes parameters, substances, families of substances, and also groups of non-specific substances produced by different activities. Also included are physical parameters and parameters of bacteriological importance, which are applied mainly to pollution caused by liquid effluents.

19


The great variety of possible denominations for a single chemical substance, as well as the many classifications used in the context of different technical or regulatory criteria, mean that in some cases it is impossible in practice to compare the data, or to subject it to similar processing. For this reason, during the PRTR pilot test, a process was begun aimed at standardizing the list of substances, starting with their specific denomination (chemical name), translation (necessary in many cases), and classification or grouping (chemical families). With this in mind, it was necessary in each case to study the technical criteria, or the regulatory intention of said classification and/or denomination. This updating process will be permanently applied, because the PRTR must always be capable of taking account of new regulations and technical criteria, and of new requirements on the part of the System’s users who, it is hoped, will be actively involved in updating the Register. The following tables set out the list of substances and physical or biological parameters included in the PRTR:

2.10. Validation of information in the PRTR Based on decisions taken by the GNC, each sectoral agency, within the scope of its specific mandate, has been responsible for ascertaining the validity of the information to be reported to the PRTR. In this sense, the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register and its central administration, do not question the technical criteria of each agency nor the information submitted by it. Therefore, said information will be accepted as official information. Furthermore, the technical criteria and the validation methods employed to check the validity of the data are each agency’s exclusive responsibility, in accordance with the legal mandate of each agency.

Note: The pollutants Arsenic, Benzene, Lead, and Toluene were not estimated for the Metropolitan Region, because the Sanitary Authority did not report the data. The following Figure shows the evolution of facilitiies taken into account when preparing the inventories of atmospheric emissions from 2005 to 2008. Most of this data corresponds to facilitiies reporting under Supreme Decree N° 138/2005, MINSAL.

Shown below are the comparative graphs for the four years included in the report. It is important to point out, when comparing inventories based on declarations made under Supreme Decree Nº 138/2005, MINSAL for the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, that the range of sources covered in 2005 is much more limited than for 2006, 2007, and 2008. Furthermore, the basic information used for estimating emissions in 2006, 2007, and 2008 includes corrections and an adjustment of fuel consumption measuring units, which were not applied to 2005 data.

When making comparisons between different years, it should also be remembered that this survey instrument is still at the trial stage, and therefore any comparisons made can only serve to detect improvements made in the coverage and the quality of the information collected. At present, it is still not possible to have a definitive inventory of emissions. At this point, it should be pointed out that starting last year, declarations can be made through the Internet, and this should improve both the coverage and the quality of data registered in the PRTR. Another point to be stressed is that, starting this year, the “Calculator of Emissions” is in use. This will guarantee the use of a standardized methodology and shorter data processing times, and will also be very useful for reviewing the information declared. It should be mentioned that this new system is also being applied in the Metropolitan Region. PM 10: Total Emissions into the Atmosphere; D.S.

Increases in emissions of PM 10 and PM 2.5 in 2006 compared to 2005 are due to increases from the following sources: In Antofagasta Region, a declaration by the “Alto Norte” copper smelter. In Atacama Region, a declaration by the Potrerillos Smelter. In BioBio Region, declarations from furnaces in the cellulose industry. CO: Total Emissions into the Atmosphere; D.S.

Figure 18: National Emissions of NOx into the Atmosphere from Fixed Sources, 2005 to 2008.

The increase in NOx emissions in the BioBio Region starting in 2006, is due to a source in the chemical industry that started submitting declarations, and to the greater number of declarations made by facilitiies in the cellulose industry. The reduction reported in Tarapacá Region in 2006 is due to adjustments in the measuring units used by a mining company. The increase in NOx emissions in the Metropolitan Region is due to the greater number of furnaces making declarations, and to higher emissions from steel foundries. In the case of sources in the Metropolitan Region, the number and type of sources has fluctuated over the years.

42


Increased emissions of NOx in 2008 are due to the fact that, in Antofagasta Region, El Abra mining company began reporting. SOx: Total Emissions into the Atmosphere; D.S. MINSAL 138/2005 and CONAMA Release Inventory (Inventario de Emisiones CONAMA)

3.2. Statistics of mobile sources in the largest cities of Chile Following is a summary of the estimated total emissions for 27 Chilean cities, including the following 17 cities7 for which SECTRA has a transport model, and for which it has been possible to create inventories of emissions since the first PRTR report. Furthermore, as of the third report, 10 new cities have been included,8 which are estimated by means of a simplified methodology. As for the methodology used by SECTRA in the 17 cities which have a transportation model, said methodology consists of calculating emissions from vehicle traffic on the basis of models of vehicle traffic flow rates. In other words, the data on the level of activity comes from simulations performed in transportation models which include several variables that affect traffic within a city, for example: land use, population size, types of economic activity, number of vehicles, road grid capacity, etc. These flow scenarios for the different cities are drawn up by SECTRA every five years. Current scenarios are for 2005 and 2010. The simulated vehicle flow scenarios are subsequently supplemented by vehicle counts performed in cities, and by data from various vehicle technologies and specific vehicle numbers by zones. This produces estimates of atmospheric emissions in each city. The vehicular flows for intermediate years are interpolated. Therefore, they are an approximation to the modeled estimates calculated for scenarios every five years. For this reason, emissions reported for intermediate scenarios should be viewed simply as a tendency, and not as an estimate that is directly comparable with the basic scenarios used to create the interpolations. As for the 10 cities estimated with the simplified methodology, the values in the emissions inventories are based on the average kilometers and velocities reported for each type of vehicle in the 17 cities which have transportation models, and these values are used jointly with statistics on each city’s number of vehicles - obtained from the INE and from vehicle technical revision plants - to obtain emission values. In this simplified methodology, just as in the methodology used by SECTRA, vehicles are classified depending on their import classification, making it possible to use the same type of emissions factor in both methodologies. In regard of the results obtained by means of the simplified methodology, these are based on the results of the SECTRA methodology, and therefore can only be taken as reference values. It is important to point out that in the case of the inventories for the years 2005 and 2006, the composition of the vehicle fleets in each of the 17 cities was determined on the basis of information from specific vehicle counts available to SECTRA. Starting with the third report, the compositions of vehicle fleets are determined solely on the basis of data from technical revision plants and vehicle registrations, which are updated annually, unlike the vehicle counts, which correspond to specific campaigns. In general terms, this change in the methodology will affect the tendency when emissions are compared with those of previous years.

Figure 30: Total SOx Emissions from Diffuse Sources (Mobile On-Road), 2005- 2008.

Decreases in emissions are due to modifications made by ENAP (the National Petroleum Company) in terms of the sulphur content of fuel, and also to lower flow rates of buses and/or trucks.

Figure 31: Total CO Emissions from Diffuse Sources (Mobile On-Road), 2005- 2008.

The decrease in emissions of the pollutant CO starting in 2007, is due to changes in the methodology for defining the composition of the vehicle fleet. For the years 2005 and 2006, compositions were determined on the basis of vehicle counts, while for the years 2007 and 2008 they were determined on the basis of data from the INE and from technical revision plants.

The high level of emissions of the pollutant NH3 in the Metropolitan Region in 2005 are due to the fact that average transportation runs for 2006 and 2007 correspond to intermediate runs that were extrapolated, based on a new run modified for the year 2005.

In general, the fluctuations shown by all emissions graphs reflect the combined effect of changes in the composition of total vehicles, and of growth in the total number of vehicles. In relation to the composition of total vehicles, the entry of new vehicles implies a reduction of emissions, while the greater total number of vehicles implies higher emissions. In the case of Greater Santiago, the database used in 2008 includes new vehicle-count data supplied by SECTRA, based on the study undertaken in order to update the MODEM V 5.0 system, which implied updating vehicle fleet compositions and the temporal profiles of the growth of traffic. In relation to the emissions model, the 2005 to 2007 PRTR scenarios were developed using the MODEM II system, while for 2008, SECTRA’s new MODEM 5.0 system was used. In general, in order to avoid sudden changes in the methodology, the emissions factors were kept unchanged, and the new model was run using velocities taken directly from the transportation model, without using BPR functions (flow delays). Nevertheless, vehicle categories were updated by including light diesel-powered vehicles, and there are also some differences in the method for estimating vehicle flows in non-peak hours, because in the new MODEM version, these are taken directly from the run in the transportation model without using the profiles of temporal growth. Finally, in some extreme cases, there are differences between MODEM II and MODEM 5.0 criteria for assigning directions to the arcs, and this can also introduce variations into flows, and consequently, into emissions.

3.3. Liquid Waste Emission Statistics This section presents data on emissions based on SISS’s application of pollution regulations associated with the discharge of liquid waste in the country. They are derived from Supreme Decree No. 609/1998 of the Ministry of Public Works, which regulates sewer system releases; Supreme Decree No. 90/2000 of MINSEGPRES, which regulates release into ocean and continental surface water; Supreme Decree 46/2002 of MINSEGPRES, which regulates releases into underwater sources; and D.S. No. 80/2006 of MINSEGPRES, which sets out molybdenum and sulfate emissions standards for effluents released from tailings dams into the Carén Estuary. Figures containing emissions reported by DIRECTEMAR are presented below. This is the third year that the entity has provided information in compliance with Supreme Decree No. 90/2000 of MINSEGPRES for sea emissions. The figures below present the fixed source emissions (in situ emissions) of cadmium, nickel, lead and copper for the entire country classified by industrial sector (ISIC Level 3) for each standard reported by SISS (S.D. 90, S.D. 609, S.D. 46) and DIRECTEMAR (S.D. 90), in which one can appreciate the contributions of the entities responsible for the greatest amounts of pollution.

Source: SISS Mercury emissions for 2005 are not given because they present a range of elevated values as compared to 2006 and 2007. This situation is probably a result of the reporting of emissions using different units of measure, which was corrected from 2006 onwards. ENAMI, Fundición Hernán Videla Lira, reported emissions of 0.103 tons/year of mercury in 2007, which represents 99% of the total for Region III and 53.6% of the total for the country. The amount for 2008 was 0.319 tons/year, which reflects an increase of 206%, situating it as the country’s largest source with 65.4% of the total. 62

Figure 43: Total Nickel Discharge, by application of the Regulations in Force, 2005-2008 (SISS)

Source: SISS Nickel emissions for 2005 are not presented due to the fact that a range of values is elevated compared to 2006 and 2007. This is most likely due to the fact that emissions were reported using different units of measure, a situation that was corrected from 2006 onwards. The greatest amounts of nickel emission for 2008 are reported by CODELCO Chile (Andean Division), with 1.19 tons/year, which represents a 39% decrease compared to the previous year.

Figure 44: Total Lead Discharge, by application of the Regulations in Force, 2005-2008 (SISS)

ENAMI, Fundición Hernán Videla Lira, reported 2007 emissions of 2.222 tons/year for lead. This represents 98.8% of the total emitted for Region III and 36.5% of the national total. The emission for 2008 was 9.18 tons/year, which reflects a 313% increase, making it the country’s greatest emitter with 66.18% of the total emitted. 65


Lead emissions for 2005 have a range of elevated values as compared to 2006. This is probably due to the fact that emissions were reported using different units of measure. The situation was corrected in 2006. The table below presents a list of the companies that emitted the greatest amounts of Pb for 2008.

In 2007, Empresa Hugo Najle H. reported emissions of 1,837.103 tons/year of phosphorus in the Biobío Region, which represented 80% of the total emitted in the region and 51% of the total emitted nationally. No information for the company was reported in 2008. Phosphorus emissions for 2005 have higher values as compared to 2006. This is most likely the result of the fact that emissions were reported in different units of measure. This situation was corrected from 2006 onwards.

From this year, releases associated with Ministry of Public Works Supreme Decree No. 609/1998 regulating sewer system releases are being reported as transfers. This is due to the fact that Chile joined the OECD, which mandates that this type of release be reported as transfers. In order to have comparable series over time, the releases reported for 2005 through 2007 were modified in the same way. Transfers of liquid waste are listed below. The data comes from the SISS’s application of pollutant regulations associated with the discharge of liquid waste in the country issued through Ministry of Public Works Supreme Decree No. 609/1998, which regulates releases into the sewer system.

Based on the above figures, one can conclude that there was a significant increase in the amount of hazardous waste reported through SIDREP between 2006 and 2008, which indicates that 2008 statistics are more representative of the reality of the hazardous waste generating sector than those obtained in 2006 and 2007. The results obtained for 2006 through 2008 indicate that the main activities that generated hazardous waste are “mining and quarrying” and “manufacturing,” which represent the greatest transfers of hazardous waste.

4.2. Liquid Waste SISS and DIRECTEMAR have respective powers to obtain information on the emissions from discharges to ocean and continental surface, underground and sewers, so they can be incorporated into the RETC. The area of competence of SISS (the regulatory and oversight agency) is geared towards two large sectors: The sanitation sector, which is composed of a set of entities whose functions are related to the services of protection, distribution of potable water, collection and disposal of waste water. The industrial sector, specifically regarding release of liquid waste into bodies and masses of water and underground water courses. In regard to release of liquid waste into sewer networks (compliance with Supreme Decree No. 609/98 of the Ministry of Public Works), oversight is performed directly by sanitation companies, by area, under the supervision of SISS. DIRECTEMAR’s role is to oversee compliance with Supreme Decree 90/2000 MINSEGPRES for all land sources that release into the water in its jurisdiction. To that end, they have environmental management tools that allow them to select for oversight those land sources that release into the waters in their jurisdiction considering: 96


a) Companies with self-control monitoring resolutions b) The Coastal Environment Observation Program (Programa de Observación del Ambiente Litoral, POAL) c) Untreated liquid waste releases The specific regulations associated with liquid waste are listed below: Supreme Decree No. 609/1998 of the Ministry of Public Works establishes emissions regulations for oversight of pollutants associated with releases of liquid waste into sewer systems. Modified by Supreme Decree No. 3.592/00 of the Ministry of Public Works and Supreme Decree No. 601/2004 of the Ministry of Public Works.

Full Compliance with S.D. 609

Beginning on August 19, 2006, all sources that did not have a waste water treatment plant and that released into a sewer network had to comply with said Decree. As such, the reports from 2005 and part of 2006 did not apply to 100% of the existing sources that released into the sewer system. The parameters that are required in order to comply with this norm will be dependent on economic activity. The following is controlled through the decree: Table 56: Parameters considered in S.D.

Supreme Decree 90/2000 of MINSEGPRES. Establishes emission standard for the regulation of pollutants associated with releases of liquid waste into ocean waters and continental surfaces. Since 2007, SISS and DIRECTEMAR have worked together to oversee Supreme Decree No. 90/2000 of MINSEGPRES, specifically in industrial facilitiies that generate liquid waste that is released into waters that are in DIRECTEMAR’s jurisdiction. To this end, DIRECTEMAR issued a resolution that establishes the permanent self-oversight program for facilitiies that release into waters in its jurisdiction (ocean, courses and navegable continental waters). As part of this joint effort, DIRECTEMAR evaluates compliance for companies that generate liquid waste under its jurisdiction. SISS maintains its oversight authority and can issue sanctions as per Law No. 18.902. It uses information from DIRECTEMAR to execute the corresponding administrative actions. 98

4.3. Solid Hazardous Waste Supreme Decree No. 148/2004 of MINSAL, which approves the Sanitary Regulation on Hazardous Waste Management, establishes the minimum sanitary and safety conditions to be used for the generation, possession, storage, transportation, treatment, reuse, recycling, final disposal and other forms of elimination of hazardous wastes. Title VII of the decree on the Hazardous Waste Reporting and Monitoring System indicates that those who possess hazardous waste are subject to a national Reporting and Monitoring System for said waste. The purpose of the system is to provide the sanitary authority with complete, current and timely information on the possession of said residues from the point at which they leave the generation facility until their reception at an elimination facility. In order to manage this information, MINSAL and CONAMA developed the Hazardous Waste Reporting and Monitoring (SIDREP) Website.

Substances from MINSAL Supreme Decree No. 594/1999 that approves the “Regulation on Basic Sanitary and Environmental Conditions in the Workplace” were not included. 26 MINSAL Supreme Decree No. 148/2004 entered into force in 2006. It approves the “Sanitary Regulation on Hazardous Waste Management” and includes the substances contained in MINSAL Supreme Decree No. 594/1999. 27 A total of 130 parameters defined by the PRTR were included beginning in 2007. They were incorporated when MINSAL Supreme Decree No. 148/2004 on “Sanitary Regulation on Hazardous Waste Management” entered into force. 28 For the period 2006-2008, only the substances defined by the GNC were considered. There is a need to redefine the parameters to be included based on the requirements set out in the additional standards required in the Industrial Assessment Resolutions. 29 A goal of training 500 people per year until 2012 was established as a parameter of measurement for the indicator.

B. Environmental Indicators The development of environmental indicators goes hand in hand with the objectives of the PRTR. Their purpose is to evaluate environmental conditions and trends on different scales. It is important to note that current regulations have entered into force gradually, and as such the total emissions reported are not yet comparable from one year to the next. “Pressure-State-Response� (PSR) Environmental Indicators:33

33

The Pressure-State-Response model (PSR) was developed by the OECD to structure its work on environmental policy. It is based on the idea that human activities exercise pressure on the environment and natural resources, affecting their quality and quantity (state); society responds to these changes through sectoral and general economic environmental policies and through changes in behavior and awareness regarding the environment (society’s response).

6. UPCOMING STEPS FOR THE PRTR Beginning in 2010, work will continue on the activities that are included in the implementation of the PRTR Plan of Actions. These include: The Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers Regulations will be issued as one of the permanent functions of the Ministry of the Environment. Work will be done on the development of a one-stop shop prototype for declaring emissions and transfers, and it will be tested with some industrial sectors. Work will continue on incorporating estimates of POP emissions into water for the fourth PRTR report. Workshops will be held to evaluate the knowledge and needs of representatives of the industry, NGOs and press regarding the PRTR report and compliance with national regulation on PRTR. Reports on the training programs and manuals for the industrial sector, NGOs and press will be developed. It will be published in English on the PRTR website. A POP Information Exchange and Registration Office will be created with the Stockholm Convention and interested parties.

Teratogenous: An agent which, when administered to a pregnant female animal, causes permanent structural abnormalities in the fetus. (Source: Supreme Decree Nยบ 148/2003 Ministry of Health). Toxicity: Capacity of a substance to be lethal in low concentrations or to produce cumulative, carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratogenic toxic effects. (Source: Supreme Decree Nยบ 148/2003 Ministry of Health). Acute toxicity: Waste has the characteristic of acute toxicity when it is lethal to humans in low doses. A waste is considered to have this characteristic in the following cases: a) When its toxicity by oral ingestion in rats, expressed as a Lethal Dose 50 (oral LD50) in a laboratory test, is equal to or less than 50 mg of waste per kilogram of body weight. a) When its toxicity by inhalation in rats, expressed as a Lethal Dose 50 (inhalation LD50) in a laboratory test, is equal to or less than 2 mg of waste per liter.

140


a) When its toxicity by cutaneous absorption in rabbits, expressed as a Lethal Dose 50 (dermal LD50) in a laboratory test, is equal to or less than 200 mg of waste per kilogram of body weight. The acute toxicity of waste can be estimated based on the technical information available regarding the acute toxicity of its component substances. Waste will be considered acutely toxic when the percentage content in the waste of a toxic substance listed in Article 88 of the Sanitary Regulation on Hazardous Waste Management, or another acutely toxic substance recognized as such by a supreme decree issued by the Ministry of Health, is higher than the lowest threshold for acutely toxic concentrations (TATC, defined for this constituent, calculated as follows: Oral TATC = [oral LD50 / 50 mg/kg] x 100 Inhalation TATC = [inhalation LD50 / 2 mg] x 100 Dermal TATC = [dermal LD50 / 200 mg/kg] x 100 If the waste contains more than one acutely toxic substance, it will be considered hazardous if the sum of the percentage concentrations of such substances, divided by their respective Threshold Acute Toxic Concentrations is greater than or equal to 1 for any of the aforementioned exposure paths. C(1) /TATC (1) + C(2) / TATC (2) + ......+ C(n) / TATC (n) >1 (Source: Supreme Decree Nยบ 148/2003 Ministry of Health). Chronic toxicity: Waste is chronically toxic in the following cases: a) If it contains a substance which is not included in Article 89 of the Sanitary Regulation on Hazardous Waste Management, which has been declared chronic by a supreme decree of the Ministry of Health due to posing cumulative, carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratogenic toxic effects on human beings. The sanitary authorities must support its decision with Chilean or foreign scientific studies. b) When it contains a substance included in Article 89 of the Sanitary Regulation on Hazardous Waste Management which is carcinogenic and the concentration of which in the waste, expressed as a percentage, is higher than TATC/1000, where TATC is the threshold acutely toxic concentration limit of said substance.

141


c) If it contains one of the substances which pose cumulative, teratogenic or mutagenic effects included in Article 89 of the Sanitary Regulation on Hazardous Waste Management and the concentration of which in the waste, expressed as a percentage, is higher than TATC/100, where TATC is the threshold for acute toxic concentration of the chronically toxic substance. For the purposes of letters b) and c) preceding, the Ministry of Health shall establish, through a supreme decree, those substances in Article 89 of the Sanitary Regulation on Hazardous Waste Management which have carcinogenic effects. When waste contains more than one toxic substance, it shall be considered chronically toxic if: d) The sum of the percentage concentrations of the cancerogenic substances in the waste divided by their respective threshold acutely toxic concentrations (TATC) is higher than or equal to 0.001. C(1) /TATC (1) + C(2) / TATC (2) + ......+ C(n) / TATC (n) >0.001 e) The sum of the percentage concentrations of substances with cumulative, teratogenic or mutagenic effects divided by their respective threshold acutely toxic concentrations (TATC) is equal to or greater than 0.01. C(1) /TATC (1) + C(2) / TATC (2) + ......+ C(n) / TATC (n) > 0.01 (Source: Supreme Decree Nº 148/2003 Ministry of Health). Extrinsic toxicity: Waste is extrinsically toxic when its disposal could result in one or more acutely or chronically toxic substances in concentrations which would put people’s health at risk. When the waste is disposed of through final, underground disposal, the respective waste shall be considered to have this characteristic when the Leaching Toxicity Test shows, for any of the substances mentioned, concentrations higher than those indicated in the Sanitary Regulation on Hazardous Waste Management. (Source: Supreme Decree Nº 148/2003 Ministry of Health). Transfers: The transfer of contaminants to a place which is physically separate from the place where they were generated. This includes: a) discharge of wastewater into the public sewer system; b) transfers for recycling, recovery or regeneration; c) transfers for recovery of 142


energy outside of the generating facility, and d) transfers for treatments such as neutralization, biological treatment, incineration or physical separation. (Source: CONAMA, study entitled “Design of the National System for Pollutant Release and Transfer Register, Stage III” (Diseño del Sistema Nacional de Registro de Emisiones y Transferencias de Contaminantes Etapa III). Carrier: A person who takes on the obligation of transporting certain types of hazardous waste. (Source: Supreme Decree Nº 148/2003 Ministry of Health). Treatment: All processes designed to change the physical and/or chemical characteristics of hazardous waste in order to neutralize them, recover energy or materials, or reduce their hazard level. (Source: Supreme Decree Nº 148/2003 Ministry of Health). Sewage Treatment System, Sewage Treatment Plant: The set of sequential, controllable physical, chemical, biological (or a combination of them) operations and processes, whether natural or artificial, which are carried out in facilitiies designed and built according to specific technical criteria for these types of installations. The purpose of these operations and processes is to reduce the contaminant load of wastewater so it meets requirements for discharge into a recipient body. This also includes stabilization lagoons, activated sludge and submarine emissaries approved by the competent authority”. (Source: Supreme Decree Nº 3,592/2000 Ministry of Public Works). Reporting unit: Unit of measurement (length, mass, volume, etc.) used to report quantities of contaminants. Usually units of the metric system are used, such as: tons or kilograms (kg) for weight; cubic meters (m3) for volume; megajoules per hour (Mj/hr) for energy. (Source: Fundación TERRAM). Latent Zone: A zone in which the level of concentration of contaminants in the air, water or soil is between 80% and 100% of the value of the respective environmental quality standard. (Source: Ley N° 19,300 on Environmental Bases). 143


Saturated Zone: A zone in which one or more environmental quality standards is exceeded. (Source: Law N째 19,300 on Environmental Bases).
