Expected Future Trends • U.S. <strong>domestic</strong> <strong>supply</strong>: ~200 metric tons per year (from byproduct mining and recycled from products and waste) + releases from chlor-alkali plants – Secondary recovery growing slowly, but will ultimately be limited by size of reservoir. – May decline with demand (with or without a time lag), and with closure of all mercury cell chlor-alkali plants. • Imports for processing: ~257 metric tons per year - May be impacted by U.S. Mercury Export Ban 22
U.S. Mercury Stockpiles • Current U.S. stocks: ~8,036 metric tons. • Progress to date: – More than half is already in long-term storage. – DOD maintains 4,436 metric tons of mercury in strategic stockpile. • Will be stored at one location for at least 40 years. – DOE stated it will continue to store 1,200 metric tons. – Remaining mercury stores in non-federal stocks is ~2,400 metric tons. 23
