CXGlualex <br /> Qualex, Inc. <br /> 120 Colonial Drive <br /> Auburn, CA 95603 <br /> November 11, 1999 <br /> Douglas Wilson <br /> San Joaquin County Public Health Services <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> P.O. Box 388 <br /> Stockton, CA 95201-0388 <br /> RE: QUALEX PHOTO PROCESSING SITE IN MANTECA <br /> Dear Mr. Wilson: <br /> Per our recent conversation in October regarding the regulatory status of photo labs, I <br /> am enclosing several documents. They include: <br /> 1. DTSC's Fact Sheet concerning the effect of Senate Bill 2111 on photo labs. <br /> 2. The invoice my company's Manteca location received from your department in 2/99. <br /> 3. The check sent to pay this invoice. <br /> 4. A letter from EPA to Kodak regarding the regulatory status of recovered silver (the <br /> specific item discussed is a metallic replacement silver recovery cartridge). <br /> 5. A letter from EPA to the Silver Council regarding hazardous waste counting criteria. <br /> 6. An internal Qualex memo and attached lab data concerning the presence of <br /> leachable silver in process filters. <br /> As I stated during our conversation, our operation is no longer subject to PBR (due to <br /> SB 2111), and, while technically classified as a hazardous waste generator, our waste <br /> count is zero. We therefore request reimbursement of the PBR and waste generator <br /> fees that our Manteca plant mistakenly paid. <br /> You agreed to take this matter into consideration and to schedule an inspection of our <br /> site to verify the information. <br />
