• The rationale for each objective established for the facility.
• A list of options that were considered but were not technically or economically feasible.
• A certification, signed and dated by the facility manager and an officer
of the company, attesting to the accuracy of the information in the plan.
P2 plans must be updated biennially.
Facilities are also required to submit an annual progress report, which must include
• A summary of each objective established in the plan, including the base
year for any objective stated in numeric terms and the schedule for meeting
each objective
• A summary of progress made during the past year, if any, toward meeting
each objective established in the plan, including the quantity of each toxic
pollutant eliminated or reduced
• A statement of the methods through which elimination or reduction has
been achieved
• If necessary, an explanation of the reasons objectives were not achieved during the previous year, including identification of any technological, economic,
or other impediments the facility faced in its efforts to achieve its objectives
• A certification signed and dated by the facility manager and an officer of
the company under penalty of Section 609.63 attesting that a plan meeting

The P2 Planning Program was created by the Arizona legislature in 1991. The
program requires all industrial facilities within a certain threshold of hazardous
waste generation and toxic substance use to perform a P2 analysis and to file an
annual P2 plan. The P2 plan becomes a stand-alone management tool that
• Documents P2 assessments that are performed
• Records the toxic substances used and emissions and wastes generated by
facility operations
• Outlines specific P2 opportunities and performance goals within a suggested implementation schedule
• Creates a database for planning and tracking progress
Arizona makes a number of resource tools available to regulated facilities,
including technical assistance, partnerships, outreach, a data collection program,
and innovation. Although the program had mandatory requirements for facilities,
the state of Arizona promoted and enforced the program through deficiency letters
that did not impose financial penalties. Through outreach programs, a collaborative
effort between the state and regulated facilities was established through the Arizona
