y <br />is *iCaliforn <br />-- - In. <br />remoYaLryf!em.Jr <br />On Friday, July 6, 1990, we discovered one infectious waste <br />red bag in your refuse compactor. For your information, one bag' <br />of infectious waste will require the entire load to be considered <br />infectious based on the State Health Service Codes. <br />I have spoken to Angie Girven and Karen Fulton regarding <br />these concerns and I have written two letters (one on July 2, <br />1990, and one on July 12, 1990), requesting the following: <br />1. The written authorization from San Joaquin County Envi- <br />ronmental Health Department for methods of sterilization you <br />are using for the infectious waste that is being deposited <br />in your refuse compactor for our transport, and; <br />2. The written authorization from San Joaquin County Solid <br />Waste Division for our disposal of this sterilized infec- <br />tious waste at Harney Lane Landfill. <br />To date, I have not received any response from Lodi Memorial <br />Hospital. <br />Hearing nothing from Lodi Memorial Hospital, I have contact- <br />ed both of the above named agencies of San Joaquin County in an <br />attempt to receive these approvals as quickly as possible to <br />assure the safety of our employees and reduce our liability of <br />injuries that could result in the handling of infectious waste. <br />We must also assure that we are complying with all mandates in <br />regards to the transportation and disposal of infectious waste. <br />To date, these agencies have not responded in writing to <br />these requests. <br />It is imperative that I have the requested authorization in <br />my file. If I do not have the authorization by July 25, 1990, I <br />will be forced to discontinue disposal at Harney Lane Landfill <br />and your refuse compactor will be taken directly to Foothill <br />Landfill, which is an approved infectious waste landfill. <br />The current rate for disposal at Foothill Landfill is $53.00 <br />per cubic yard (your compactor is twenty-six (26) cubic yards). <br />In addition, we will charge you $180.00 for handling each time we <br />make this direct haul for disposal at Foothill Landfill. <br />-2- <br />sanitary City ditposal inc. <br />1333 E.
