Thomas Finch, Senior Director of Pharmacy Operations has provided a response, see below. <br /> If you should have any other questions, please feel free to contact me. <br /> Dear Inspector Florido, <br /> Clean Earth has assured us that the 1.1 gram weight and the statement "(Gen. Status Determination Excludes Container <br /> Wt.)" appearing in Box 14 are part of their template used nationwide, and do not affect the actual weights reported in <br /> Box 11. These are included as "Additional Information" because 49 states have adopted the EPA's clarification, <br /> attached,that residue weight, not container weight, counts towards Generator status. However,the 1 Ib weight in box <br /> 11, inclusive of the containers, is used when evaluating Generator status for Save Mart. <br /> Save Mart is not set up with CleanEarth to convert containers to estimated residue weight as this is not relevant to our <br /> Generator status in California. Data provided from one major retailer to the EPA suggests that the residue weight from <br /> warfarin is about 0.001 grams per 100 tablet bottle, or approximately 0.020 grams for 20 containers. <br /> The total quantity in Box 11 is reported in pounds. See the note "P" in the following Box 12. This is weighed by <br /> CleanEarth to the nearest 1/100th of a pound then rounded up or down to the nearest whole number of pounds, as the <br /> Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest requires us to report a whole number. Both the weight of the warfarin residue and <br /> the weight of the warfarin container are included in this total. At approximately 10 grams each,the 20 empty warfarin <br /> bottles returned on this manifest would have weighed in at less than one half of one pound, inclusive of residue. <br /> We hope this addresses your questions and reassures you that manifest corrections are not necessary for these <br /> items. Please do not hesitate to reach back out to our environmental health and safety specialists or to myself <br /> personally with any further questions or concerns. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Thomas K.
