combustion of packaged mixed waste are 5E-4 and 1.0 (subsection 5.2.1.1). The maximum
initial respirable source term is:
(20,000 g * 1.0 * 6E-3 * 0.01) + (100 g * 1.0 * 5E-4 * 1.0) = 1.3 g

Feed Preparation Example Assessment
The feed preparation operation, like any materials-handling activity, has the potential to
generate airborne releases. It is not, however, a potential source of large releases, and a
