•NPI: A
transfer is when an NPI substance is not emitted directly to the
environment but instead goes into landfill, sewers or tailings
dams. If the substance is removed from a facility for
recycling, reprocessing or reuse it is also a transfer.
Transfers are not currently included in the NPI but are being
considered following a review of the current NPI NEPM.
