Carlene Beftencourt <br /> From: Dabney, Alison (CDPH-DDWEM) [Alison.Dabney@cdph.ca.gov] <br /> Sent: Wednesday, December 21,20114:31 PM <br /> To: Carlene Bettencourt <br /> Cc: vhayer@co.merced.ca.us; RMcClellon@sjcehd.com; rvAlliamseco.tuolomne.ca.us; <br /> jorge.goitia@aogov.org; bbeniamine@envres.org <br /> Subject: Limited waste haulers permit-Community Hospice Modesto <br /> Dear Ms. Bettencourt, <br /> Thank you for your request for clarification regarding the Department's procedures for approval of generators <br /> requiring a Limited Quantity Hauling Exemption (LQHE). After reviewing CA Health and Safety Code § <br /> 118030, 1 would like to emphasize specific sections of the law that preclude your company from registering <br /> your hospice based in Modesto with multiple enforcement agencies throughout the state. <br /> From (a) (1) & (a) (2), a generator or parent organization applying for a LQHE must first be registered with the <br /> enforcement agency as a either a small quantity generator (SQG) or large quantity generator (LQG). The <br /> generator or parent organization (SQG or LQG) with its concurrent LQHE registration has the overall <br /> responsibility for all of the waste it generates, regardless of where it is generated. Some of our current <br /> exemptions are issued to home health agencies, hospices, veterinarians, blood banks (mobile vans), doctor's <br /> offices, ambulance companies, drugstores, and hospitals. <br /> To require the generator/parent organization to register with more than one enforcement agency as a <br /> SQG/LQG with the LQHE is duplicative. Therefore, your SQG or LQG and LQHE registration with Stanislaus <br /> County is sufficient to be compliant with the Medical Waste Management Act. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Alison <br /> Alison Dabney, Chief <br /> Medical Waste Management Program <br /> Department of Public Health <br /> P O Box 997377 MS 7405 <br /> Sacramento, CA 95899-7377 <br /> 916-449-5692 <br /> fax 916-449-5665 <br /> 1 <br />
