The Process

IM Flash Technologies was admitted into Clean Utah’s Entry Level in January, 2010. To be accepted as a Clean Utah Partner, IM Flash Technologies had to first pass a compliance screen to ensure that environmental regulations were consistently being met. DEQ, EPA, and the Local Health Department in Utah County each confirmed that is the case.

DEQ verified the facility has an effective Environmental Management System (EMS). DEQ staff and a multi-interest review panel reviewed the proposed projects and recommended the company be admitted. DEQ Director Amanda Smith sent a letter dated March 7, 2011, advancing IM Flash Technologies to the Partner Level.

EMS Background

IM Flash Technologies is ISO 14001 certified and obtained a third party auditing by KEMA. Regular internal audits are performed. The EMS was verified by DEQ in December 2010.

Environmental Improvement Project #1

Goal: Goal: Hazardous Waste Reduction-Decrease hazardous waste generation by 20% over 2 years.

Approach: The goal of hazardous waste reduction will be accomplished by installing a more efficient waste collection system for arsenic waste; segregating hazardous from non-hazardous treatment resins; and identifying outlets for waste products that may still be beneficially used as a product.

Impact: This positively impacts the State by reducing the amount of waste generated, transported, treated, and disposed of within the State.

Public Participation: This goal and the results will be published on IMFTs publicly available Website.

Future Commitments: N/A

Environmental Improvement Project #2

Goal: Goal: Decrease the amount of office paper used on site by 25% from 2010 levels.
