Medical Waste Management Plan is not current update Medical Waste Plan by 7/10/05 and submit to this <br />office. <br />Response/Action: Same action as noted above for Lodi Memorial Hospital. <br />Item 19. Records not available for waste pharmaceutical disposal for 2004. Provide records for June 2004 — <br />December 2004 or provide explanation for missing records by 6/17/05. <br />Response/Action: During the period of June 2004 — December 2004, there was little to no pharmaceutical <br />waste generated at Lodi Memorial Hospital West. Any pharmaceutical waste generated during this period <br />was managed by the Pharmacy department and may have been transported to Lodi Memorial Hospital — <br />East by Pharmacy personnel having a "Limit Quantity Hauling Exemption" authorization. The small <br />quantities generated during this period would be removed with waste from the 975 S. Fairmont Avenue <br />facility. <br />Please note that in 2005, the volume of pharmaceutical waste has increased due to a change in use of <br />the facility. Additional Medical/Surgical beds were activated that increased the waste volume. Direct <br />pickup was instituted to accommodate this increase. <br />If you have any questions regarding the information provided, please contact me at (209) 339-7680. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tak Saito <br />Director, Facilities Management <br />Cc: Gayle Moses, Safety/Security Officer, Joe Harrington, CEO <br />
