Box 2009 SAN pis�CRICT <br />Stockton, Calif. 95201 <br />Dear Mr. Hall, <br />To comply with C.A.C.- Title 22 - Section 70847, Lodi <br />Memorial Hospital is disposing of infectious waste as <br />follows: <br />All infectious waste is placed in double plastic bags, <br />with each bag tied off separately, at the point of <br />origin. The bags are identified with appropriate <br />"Contaminated" labels. <br />These bags are picked up by housekeeping as soon as <br />possible. Housekeeping places these bags into an <br />enclosed Blackwell Compactor located outside the building. <br />Laboratory waste is autoclaved in the laboratory before <br />being disposed of, by housekeeping, in the Compactor. <br />The Compactor is picked up by California Solid Waste <br />Removal of Lodi and taken to the County dump where the <br />waste is buried in accord with all regulations of the <br />San Joaquin Local Health District. The Compactor is then <br />cleaned and sanitized before being returned to Lodi <br />Memorial Hospital. <br />We would appreciate a letter currently approving the handling <br />of trash, including infectious waste, at Lodi Memorial <br />Hospital. Thank you for help in this matter. <br />3 ��r Sincerely, <br />Enes M.
