Facility Description:
The Samuel Son & Co. Limited – Nash Road Facility (hereafter “Samuel”) (previously
named Samuel Metal Processing) on Nash Road in Hamilton produces cut-to-order
steel plate from cold and hot rolled sheet steel. Large sheets of carbon steel plate
ranging in thickness from 3/16 inch to 8 inches are received and cut into specific sizes
and shapes.

Reasons for changes from previous year are due to changes in production levels and
removal of equipment from the facility.
Reduction Plan Objectives and Targets:
The Toxic Reduction Plan guides Samuel in finding methods to reduce the percent
losses of residues of manganese from the production processes. As manganese is a key
component in the steel brought into the facility, its’ elimination is not a viable option.
Samuel intends to reduce the releases of residues of manganese by 5 % over the next 5
to 8 years.
Progress on TRA Plan:
All actions put forth in the TRA plan have been completed in previous reporting years.
However, training continues on a routine basis leading to scrap reduction. Training of
staff allows for better utilization of all parts of the plate, resulting in scrap reduction.
An annual review of Best Operating Practices occurs every year. No amendments were
made to the Toxic Reduction Act Plan for Manganese.
Reduction Options under Consideration for Implementation:
Ongoing Best Operating Practices such as minimizing skeleton sizes for recycling and
using remnants (drops) for secondary products will continue to be implemented. A
“Filler Part Program” will be implemented, where applicable, to reduce scrap sent for
recycling.
Additional Actions and their Impact on Substance Use, Creation and Discharge:
Removal of equipment lead to a reduction in production and therefore a reduction in
the use of manganese of approximately 13 tonnes. Also, the amount recycled was
reduced by approximately 13 tonnes.
