(Stericycle) located at 211 Rockingham Drive, Reidsville NC (Facility) operates a packaging by-product recovering facility on a leased property in Rockingham County. The facility currently accepts consumer products for baling and repackaging which are then sent to a recycler. Stericycle desires to expand its offerings to include the management and disposal of consumer products that qualify as non-hazardous wastes when they are received at the facility and as such, are subject to North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Solid Waste Rules (15A NCAC 13B) Waste Information & Service Area The facility proposes to accept consumer by-products in various sized containers that are typically palletized and not useable for various reasons, expired, off-spec, production overruns, discontinued, etc.). These consumer products are mainly personal care products – health & beauty, OTC medication from the manufacturer. These product wastes would be separated, shredded, re-packaged, consolidated or transferred off-site to a recycler or disposal facility. The facility intends to initially service Guilford, Edgecombe and Vance Counties. The facility proposes to accept approximately 15 Tons of consumer by-product daily. Hours of Operation The facility intends to operate approximately 255 days per year. The hours of operations are 07:00 to 17:00, Monday to Friday. The facility will normally be closed on New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Waste Management Stericycle pre-approves all material destined for receipt at the facility. Only non- hazardous consumer products & by-products are pre-approved for receipt at the facility. Pre-approval is based on SDSs and customer knowledge of the product. Only pre-approved material will be scheduled for pick-up at the customer’s site. Material will arrive via truck palletized or in bins/boxes containing various sized containers. Every inbound load is inspected for packaging integrity as well as conformance to the pre-approved material. The packages are placed on a table 3 for visual inspection then segregated depending on the type of management activity. Foreign material that may be found in containers of consumer products are segregated and held awaiting approval for disposition. Shredding – product destined for shredding is staged at the shredder then processed. The shredded material is stored in a bulk container for shipment offsite for waste-to-energy. Separation – product may be de-manufactured into separate components (plastic, metal, batteries. The plastic is bulked into a container and sent off-site to a plastics recycler. The metal is bulked into a bin and sent to a scrap metal dealer. Batteries are packaged according to type and shipped off-site to a recycler. Baling – OCC, plastic and paper from product packaging is baled and shipped off- site to a recycler. Consolidation – waste products that cannot be recycled are consolidated into bulk containers and shipped to landfill for final disposal. Product Storage – product may be stored on behalf of the manufacturer for return at a later date. A material flow diagram (Figure 1) identifies the flow of product from facility arrival to off-site shipment to a recycler or disposal facility. Material that cannot be recycled or recovered is shipped to the following landfills based on their service area: • Rockingham County landfill (7904-MSWLF-1995) • City of High Point Landfill (4104-MSWLF-1991) • East Carolina Regional Landfill (0803-MSWLF-1993) Recyclables are shipped to Sonoco Recycling, Greensboro NC Consumer product solids that meet waste-to-energy specifications are sent to Covanta Energy - Fairfax 4 All inbound by-products for recycling and disposal are pre-approved into all recycling and disposal outlets. Material that does not have a pre-approved outlet will not be received at the facility to prevent excess storage times and eliminate speculative recycling. Equipment The facility equipment includes a shredder, horizontal baler, vertical baler and compactor for consumer by-products, OCC, plastic and paper processing. Truck loading and unloading occurs through the use of pallet jacks and forklifts. Material handling equipment will include drum dollies and pallet jacks. Sanitary Control The facility does not receive putrescible waste; as a result, the vector controls are limited to normal pest control through third party contracts. Materials are received and stored in containers indoors and never dumped on the floor; as a result, there will be minimal occurrences of windblown material leaving the facility. Daily housekeeping includes tramp and debris removal in the facility and routine inspection of the property perimeter for tramp and debris removal. Signage The facility entrance sign will be in conformance with NC DEQ solid waste rules and include • operating hours • permit number • emergency number • acceptable wastes (Acceptable Materials - recyclables and consumer product wastes) • Unacceptable Materials – municipal solid waste, hazardous waste, PCB waste, medical waste and petroleum products’. 5 Directional signs to the loading/unloading area of the facility will also be posted in strategic areas noting speed limit Site Security & Access Roads All entrances to the warehouse are locked at all times and can only be accessed through a preassigned code. All visitors, drivers are escorted while on the property. Security cameras are strategically located inside the facility and around the outside perimeter and continually monitor and record activity. Security is provided through fencing and barriers. The entrance gate is locked outside of operating hours. The main access road to the site is Rockingham Drive from Barnes Street. Truck traffic is anticipated to be 2 trucks per day. Direct access to the facility entrance will be maintained as well as all paved areas surrounding the facility. Training A training summary for all employees is included at the end of the Operation Plan Contingency Plan A contingency plan for the Facility is included at the end of the Operation Plan Operating Records All operating records, permits, correspondences etc. will be maintained electronically and/or hardcopy in the facility manager’s office.
