  4. What is the Annual Operation Report ? (COA) COA, instrument for tracking and gathering information. Multimedia information collection instrument, by establishment Registro Nacional de Emisiones (RENE) • Follow-up on : • Direct regulation in atmosphere (LAU / LF) • HW authorizations • Compliance with NOMs • Induce a better environmental performance in the industry • Recognized as a report of internal use by the industry • Inventories • Emissions (INEM) • GHG (Greenhouse gases protocol) • Substances • Hazardous Wastes Design and evaluation of NOMs

  5. What is the PRTR (RETC)? Environmental policy instrument Emissions to air Releases to water Releases to land • Promote the reduction of emissions and transfers of substances dangerous to the environment and health • Integrates public information of the establishments that issue and transfer RETC Substances (NOM-SEMARNAT-165-2013)) Transferences of HW Transferences to Sewerage What is an emission? Release of RETC substances directly into the environment: air, land and/or national water bodies What is a transfer? (transfer of responsibility) Transfer of RETC Substances to a physically separate site from where they were used or produced, either in waste and / or water discharges to the sewer system for: • Final disposal • Co-processing • Treatment • Recycling • Reuse

  6. Objective of the PRTR Protection of Environment and Health Industry with efficient processes, clean technologies and substitution of raw materials Government with information for the development of Policies & Programs to reduce pollutants Academy with information for research Contaminants Informed and participatory society Reduction of

  7. PRTR SCOPE • Mandatory periodic record (annual) • Report of all the activities carried out in fixed sources (industrial, services and shops), without exemptions • Registration of 200 substances with report thresholds on emissions / transfers and manufacturing, processes and other uses, established for each substance (NOM-165-SEMARNAT-2013) • Registration by plant or establishment • Coverage of all media: emissions in water, air, soil, subsoil and transfers in water and wastes • Annual publication of data by plant or establishment (name and location) and quantity of substances issued or transferred

  8. Legal Framework 1 General Law of Ecological Equilibrium and Environmental Protection (LGEEPA), article 109 bis (mandatory PRTR) LGEEPA Regulation on the PRTR (PRTR operation) 2 Agreement for the COA report and instructions for the annual PRTR report 3 Mexican Official Norm NOM-165-SEMARNAT-2013, list of substances subject to report for PRTR 4

  9. Legal Framework NOM-165-SEMARNAT-2013 List of PRTR Substances Retardants (1.2%) Biocides (0.6%) Monomers (11.6%) • Impacts on 10 sectors and 112 federal sub-sectors • Chemical sector handles the largest number of substances Intermediate and chemical precursors (62.1%) Basic Aromatics (24.5%) • Toluene in 17 sectors y 79 subsectors • 45 substances present in supplies • Oil and petrochemical sectors, major amount by weight of substances Source: Study performed by Luis Ojeda to DGGCARETC

  10. Sustancessincluded in NOM-165-SEMARNAT-2013 GHG 6 Cyanides 4 Inorganics 8 Organophosphorus 12 Organics 83 Organochlorines 20 200 ODS 9 PAHs 7 Oxides 5 POPs 26 Metals and metalloids 13 Isocyanates 7 PAHs: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

  11. Strengthening of the Environmental Management Reduction of emissions & releases • PRTR, 2004 - 2015 • 2013, Software upgrade (SW V7) • 2014, modification and migration to Web Source: DGGCARETC SW V7: Software version 7 of COA

  12. Federal PRTR Integration Process COA PRTR Publication Corrections and integration to COA Data Base Reception PRTR Extraction Revision PRTR Revision PRTR Integration and Generation Request for corrections to companies Final revision of PRTR Data Base Request for corrections Reception of corrections PRTR Final Publication Preliminary Publication COA Data Base corrections Integration

  13. Federal PRTR Publication • Automated reception of corrections • Automated review of the COA • Programming of queries and graphs to identify the erroneous information of the RETC • Sending of correction requests via email # of establishments that report PRTR substances # of reported PRTR substances

  14. Steps for the Integration of the PRTR in the States

  15. Federal National PRTR Publication State Municipal • 2013-2017 • Programming the review criteria in the COA’s State v2014. • Delivery of the COA’s State v2014 to Baja California, Michoacán, Nayarit and Querétaro, Guanajuato, Durango, Sonora, Tamaulipas, Nuevo León and Quintana Roo. • Training to Baja California, Tabasco, Yucatán, Jalisco, Quintana Roo.
