Further investigation of the issue leads me to believe the filters were perforated and sent to <br /> be recycled as scrap metal. <br /> I have contacted both the maintenance manager and the plant manager and informed them that this process <br /> is incorrect and it needs to be immediately changed. We will handle used filters as scrap metal but they will be <br /> stored in a sealed steel drum after all the oil has been drained out of them. We will store them in such <br /> container for an accumulation period of up to one year. <br /> I instructed them not to allow paper filters, fibrous filters, plastic filters to be included in the barrel to be <br /> recycled. (It will be dedicated to filters that have a steel capsule only). Fibrous and other non-metal filters will <br /> not be sent to recycling. They will be handled as hazardous material and disposed accordingly. <br /> The debris from the clean-up of our used oil tank was collected and it is in a steel barrel waiting to be shipped <br /> as Diatomaceous earth clean-up, our profile that indicates used oil plus absorbent medium. It will be handled <br /> as hazmat material. The same process was used for the clean-up around the saw area, namely: the debris was <br /> collected and it is in a hazmat barrel waiting for shipment as hazmat waste. <br /> I hope this answers your questions, and I apologize for the initial information I gave you. I stand corrected. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Darlan Ribeiro <br /> EHS/Quality Manager <br /> The Guntert Companies <br /> G&Z I Guntert Steel <br /> 222 East Fourth Street <br /> Ripon, CA 95366 <br /> phone: (209) 599-0066 ext. 271 <br /> cell (209) 253-9530 <br /> i <br />
