The following recommendations address the development and implementation of: management
PP/WM policy; monitoring programs that will provide data to assist in evaluating the feasibility and
success of PP/WM techniques; PP/WM and water conservation goals; employee training; and
preventative and corrective maintenance program.
1. PPIWM and Watcr Conscrvation Policy -11le JISICO management should establish a PP/WM
and water conservation policy as part of JISICO management operating philosophy and
distribute it to all employees. Implement the policy through specific goals and targets. Make
it each person's responsibility to identify PP/WM and water conservation opportunities and
implement any established PP/WM and water conservation measures. Show management
commitment to the policy by implementing the following actions:
• Designate a PP/WM and water conservation coordinator to effectively implement the
program.
• Publicize success stories and reward employees that identify cost effective PP/WM
opportunities.
• Implement the PP/WM and water conservation programs through employee training,
awareness, and incentives.
• Perform periodic assessment of the PP/WM and water conservation accomplishments by
key management personnel, the coordinator, and independent experts.
• Reinforce the policy and company commitment through management and employee
meetings.
2. Monitoring Program - Increased monitoring of water use and wastewater disposal is particularly
important for the JISICO facility due to the current lack of data in these areas. Specifically, the
JISICO facility should begin routine monitoring of key water usage activities and wastewater
discharges. This will assist the facility in more accurately targeting areas of concern, and will
provide baseline data for overall plant performance. In addition, prior to initiating specific
PP/\VM activities, JISICO should evaluate the baseline characteristics of the wastewater (or
water consumption activity) to be corrected. 11lis baseline data can then be llsed to measure
the initial success of the PP/WM or water conservation technique, and can also be used to
ensure that the technique continues to perform successfully over time.
• Develop and implement a plan to install flow measuring devices on the following water
or wastewater lines:
Rolling mill wastewater discharges onto the ground (irrigation);
Cooling water make-up to power station;
Cooling water make-up to oxygen plant; and
Cooling water make-up to the reheating furnace.
All flows from the above devices and the existing meters to the furnace and rolling mill
