Info

U.S. Domestic Supply Source: Byproduct Mining • Total Annual Supply: ~118 metric tons of commodity-grade mercury in 2006 - Extraction will occur until 2015; processing will continue until 2029 • Trend: Quantity may increase modestly over time – Quantity dependent upon mine life and industry expansion 18
U.S. Domestic Supply Source: Product Recycling and Waste Recovery • Total Annual Supply: Anecdotal evidence indicates that from 50 to 80 metric tons and potentially as much as 100-200 metric tons were recovered in 2006. • Sources: Retorting of end-of-life products, off-spec products, hazardous industrial waste, and contaminated soil from cleanup sites. • Trend: Quantity is assumed to remain constant in the short term (e.g. next decade), and then decline as mercury content of products decreases and waste streams get smaller. 19
