The Calculations for the Environmental Benefits Reported, are:
Preventative Actions to Reduce Likelihood of Future Releases - Disposal Change (calculated based on manifests for one year (2003) = 360 gallons/ Media - Land
+ 807 pd/ 8 pd per gallon = 38 gallons + 360 = 398 gallons/ 55 gallons per drum = (7) 55-gallon drums x $5,000.00 (disposal cost per drum*) = $35,000.00*
Disposal Cost per year = $35,000.00 *
*disposal cost per drum include storage, transportation, in PR and US and disposal cost in a TSDF in US
(there are no TSDF facilities in PR all waste goes to US)
