M E A S U R E W A S T E REDUCTION How much waste is currently being generated, and how that is being reduced or increased over time should be answerable with data on waste generation. Waste reduction may be disguised in waste generation by changes in production, changes in the amount of nonhazardous constituents in waste streams, regulatory changes, and cross-media shifts. E x isting waste generation data are not useful for answering waste reduction questions because: they deal only with some fraction of hazardous wastes, often only with wastes regulated under a single statute (wastes); they are mass or volume estimates only; and they are not correlated to production.
However, as the concept of comprehensive and systematic waste reduction is better understood and more effectively implemented, audits will become more common because they provide analytic support for waste reduction decisions. Even when taking ad hoe actions, however, companies usually try to pull together s o m e of the information and data discussed below that make it possible to plan and carry out waste reduction in an effective manner. The steps that a company might go through in conducting a waste reduction audit are discussed.
The results of the focused audits, however, must be included in the support documentation provided to audit teams performing future comprehensive audits. The Audit Team An important component of a successful audit is the selection of the audit team. The team members must be impartial in their review of the facility's status. Frequently, the most knowledgeable individual for a given area is the manager or supervisor of that area. If the audit team member is such an individual, negative or deficient areas within his own area of responsibility must be accurately and impartially reported.
