SUBJECT: Weld County Business Hazardous Waste
Assistance Program
Over the past few months, the Environmental Health Division has been working on the
development of the Weld County Business Hazardous Waste Assistance Program. This program
is designed to provide a safe and affordable disposal/recycling option for Conditionally Exempt
Small Quantity Generators (CESQG) in Weld County. A CESQG is a business that is exempt
from most state and federal hazardous waste disposal regulations so long as it only generates
very small quantities of hazardous waste and ensures delivery of its waste to a facility that is
permitted to receive it.
This program is voluntary and will be operated out of the Household Hazardous Waste facility.
Any business located within Weld County, which generates waste, classified as only CESQG
waste, is eligible to participate. We have developed a fee schedule that we feel will fully recover
the costs of the program. This fee schedule is enclosed for your review and approval. If you
have questions regarding this program, please contact Trevor Jiricek, Director of Environmental
Health Services.
I recommend your approval of this program and the enclosed fee schedule.

Subject: Oil used for dust suppressant
Hi Lee,
I communicated with Kathy Hodovak from CDPHE Colorado has not petitioned EPA to allow used
oil to be used for dust
suppression and the Hazardous Waste Commission has no plans to do so.
Since the used oil regulations were adopted in 1994, there have been
inquiries regarding this, but no strong push from the regulated
community to have the state petition EPA.
Hope this info helps, let me know
