I have tried <br /> unsuccessfully to get a hold of you on the phone regarding corrections to the Medical Waste <br /> Management Plan (MWMP). So the following are the corrections to the MWMP I would like <br /> implemented and resubmitted by November 12, 2010: <br /> 1. The MWMP needs to have the name of the facility, address, type of business (nursing <br /> facility), estimated monthly quantity of medical waste generated (can call Stericycle for <br /> this information), name and business address of the registered hazardous waste hauler <br /> (Stericycle), name and address of the offsite medical waste treatment facility to which the <br /> medical waste is being hauled (can call Stericycle for this information), an emergency <br /> action plan (procedure if Stericycle is unable to pickup the medical waste), and a <br /> statement certifying that the information in the MWMP is complete and accurate. <br /> 2. The MWMP needs to state that there is no onsite treatment of the medical waste, that all <br /> biohazardous waste containers need to have appropriate labels ("Biohazardous waste" or <br /> "Biohazard"and the biohazard symbol)on the lid and sides, and that medical waste will <br /> not be stored on the premises for more than 7 days (page 26, #9). <br /> 3. The MWMP needs to state that spills, contaminated items, and medical waste containers <br /> that are decontaminated with <br /> bleach, are done so with a minimum concentration of 500ppm available chlorine. <br /> If you have any questions you can call me at(209)468-3178 or email me at <br /> bescotto@sjcehd.com. Thank you. <br /> Ben Escotto <br /> REHS <br /> 11/16/2010 <br />
