On May 27, 2015 the Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section (Section) received Stericycle,
Inc.’s application for a permit to operate, five (5) year renewal, at the Concord Facility (Facility),
located in Cabarrus County. The application was entitled:

addressed;

Treatment Facilities, rather than 15A NCAC 13B .1206.
2. Revise section 2.5 Storage of the Operations Plan, by removing the third paragraph, the paragraph
begins with” Regulated medical waste shall…”
3. Revise the title of section 6.0 to Contingency Plan, rather than Bypass and Residual Plan
Please address the issues presented in this letter and submit a revised Operations Plan. If you should have
any questions regarding this matter you may contact me at [phone] [e-mail] .
