1 3258 Marentette Ave. Windsor, Ontario N8X 4G4 Phone: (519) Fax: (519) Facility Information: Facility Name/Address: Shipping Address: NPRI Identification Number: Two Digit NAICS Code: Four Digit NAICS Code: Six Digit NAICS Code: Number of Full-time Employees: UTM Spatial Coordinated Public Contact/Plan Coordinator Dimachem Inc 3258 Marentette Ave Windsor, ON N8X 4G4 Same as Facility Address Latitude: Longitude: Jill Desjardins Compliance and QC Manager (phone) Toxic Substances: As of there were three Phase 1 and four Phase 2 toxic substances that required the development of a toxic substance reduction plan based on the criteria set out in the Toxics Reduction Act, Based on calculations a plan will have to be developed for Hydrochloric Acid. These substances are: Manganese (and its compounds) Zinc (and its compounds) Sulphuric Acid ( ) Sodium Nitrite ( ) Nitric Acid ( ) Nitrate ( ) 2-Butoxyethanol ( ) Hydrochloric Acid ( ) None of the seven listed toxic substances are created onsite. Objective: Dimachem is committed to manufacturing and distributing quality products in a responsible manner that protects employees, neighbours, customers, visitors, stakeholders and the environment. Dimachem will strive to reduce the amount of manganese, zinc, sulphuric acid, sodium

2 nitrite, nitric acid, and nitrate ion used for chemical blending. Dimachem does not intend to reduce the amount of 2-butoxyethanol at this time. Determination of intent to reduce Hydrochloric acid will be reported on the 2017 summary after a plan has been developed. Toxic Substance Reduction Phase I Manganese (and its compounds) >1-10 > > 10% Amount Contained in Product >1-10 > >0-1 > Off-site Transfer for Disposal >0-1 > Dimachem intends to reduce the use of manganese by 2.4 percent within 2 to 7 years. Zinc (and its compounds) > > > 10% Amount Contained in Product > > >0-1 > Off-site Transfer for Disposal >0-1 > Increase in Test Results Dimachem intends to reduce the use of zinc by 3.5 percent within 2 to 7 years.

3 Sulphuric Acid ( ) >1-10 > > 10% Amount Contained in Product >1-10 > NA Off-site Transfer for Disposal NA Dimachem intends to reduce the use of sulphuric acid by 33.7 percent within one to three years. Hydrochloric Acid ( ) Since this is the first reporting year for this substance there have not been any changes to the amounts reported or to the method of quantification and tracking > Amount that was created 0 Amount Contained in Product > Off-site Transfer for Disposal 0 First year reporting. A target has not been determined yet. Phase II

4 Sodium Nitrite ( ) > > > 10% Amount Contained in Product > > > Off-site Transfer for Disposal >0-1 > Dimachem intends to reduce the use of sodium nitrite by 0.001% percent within 1 year. Nitric Acid ( ) > > > 10% Amount Contained in Product > > NA Off-site Transfer for Disposal NA Dimachem intends to reduce the use of nitric acid by 0.12 percent within 1 year. Nitrate Ion ( )

5 >1-10 > > 10% Amount Contained in Product >1-10 > > Off-site Transfer for Disposal >0-1 > test results Dimachem intends to reduce the use of nitrate ion by 0.04 percent within 1year. 2-Butoxyethanol ( ) > 10% > > NA Amount Contained in Product > > NA >0-1 > NA Off-site Transfer for Disposal NA Dimachem does not intend to reduce the use of 2-butoxyethanol at this time. Facility Progress

6 In Dimachem significantly reduce usage of Manganese and Nitrate by eliminating sales of certain finished products, also the amount of sulphuric acid handling was significantly reduced. The thresholds for reporting these three materials were not met for but were submitted voluntarily, if the usage is below reportable limits for 2017 the toxic plans will be closed and reporting will be discontinued. Our facility use of hydrochloric acid was significantly increased and a toxic reduction plan will be developed by December 31, There have been no significant process changes. There have been no amendments to the plans. Annual Report Certification Statement As of July 19, 2017, I certify that I have read the report on the toxic substance reduction plan for Manganese (and its compounds), Zinc (and its compounds), Sulphuric Acid, Hydrochloric Acid, Sodium Nitrite, Nitric Acid, Nitrate Ion and 2- butoxyethanol and am familiar with their contents and to my knowledge the information contained in the report is factually accurate and the report complies with the Toxic Reduction Act, 2009 and Ontario Regulation 455/09 (General) made under the Act.
