Wake County contracts with Republic Services (formerly Ecoflo) to manage operations of the HHW facility. A responsible individual trained in facility operations is on-site during operating hours. 2. The facility was adequately secured by a fence with a locking gate to prevent unauthorized entry. Signs were posted at the entrance to the facility stating the hours of operation and other pertinent information. 3.

Hazardous Waste manifests were verified up to 5/27/2024. 5. The HHW was kept clean and organized with the facility layout maintaining a good flow for traffic. 6. At the time of this inspection, the secondary containment sump located in the unloading area beneath the canopy held stormwater containing surface sheen and litter. Mr. Parsons stated that the secondary sumps are pumped out every week, and Oil-Dri is utilized inside the sumps once per month. Ensure that secondary containment sumps are pumped and cleaned as often as needed and kept free of litter to maintain proper functionality. 7. A fire suppression system located on the ceiling of the HHW building overhang and two charged fire extinguishers provide adequate fire containment/prevention. Vermiculite and Oil-Dri is utilized for spills and are stored on-site. 8.
