The report shall include, but need not be limited to, the following:
(1) A detailed description and documentation of the capture rate achieved, with the goal of achieving a mercury switch capture rate of at least ninety percent (90%), consistent with the principle that mercury switches shall be recovered unless the mercury switch is inaccessible due to significant damage to the end-of-life vehicle in the area surrounding the location of the mercury switch;
(2) A description of additional or alternative actions that may be implemented to improve the mercury minimization plan and its implementation in the event that a mercury switch capture rate of at least ninety percent (90%) is not achieved;
(3) The number of mercury switches collected, the number of end-of-life vehicles containing mercury switches, the number of end-of-life vehicles processed for recycling, and a description of how the mercury switches were managed; and
(4) A description of the amounts paid to cover the costs of implementing the mercury minimization plan.
(b) The director may discontinue the requirement for the annual report pursuant to subsection (a) of this section upon a finding that mercury switches in end-of-life vehicles manufactured by a particular manufacturer no longer pose a significant threat to the environment or to public health.
