AREAS OF CONCERN AND COMMENTS
1) The facility is a medical waste incinerator that traditionally operates 4 days a week (Tuesday -Friday), 8-10
hours per day. The incinerator is usually cleaned each Monday.
2) The facility accepts waste from GlaxoSmithKline's nationwide facilities. The only non-GSK waste is law
enforcement seizure of controlled substances.
3) Less than 10% of the waste accepted and incinerated at the facility is infectious waste.
4) The facility has a NCDENR Air Quality permit (4612T29), issued on December 3, 2008.
5) The new ash sampling procedure was discussed as modified in the Solid Waste Permit. The first sampling
event under the new procedure is expected to be completed in October 2009.
6) The upcoming employee annual training was discussed, the training is scheduled for September 2009.
7) The facility has floor drains to control leachate, spilled liquids, and ash dewatering. The floor drains are
connected to the Durham sanitary sewer.
8) Lime is used as part of the air quality controls at the facility. Spent lime is kept in a covered water tight
container. The spent lime sampling was changed in the recent Solid Waste Permit Modification.
9) All incoming waste is kept inside the building or in adjacent Warehouse B prior to incineration. No waste is
stored outside.
