Engineering Design and Operation Report December, 1988 SECTION 1 - GEMERAL INFORMATION 1.1 NEED FOR FACILITY There has recently been increased recognition among the Colorado Healthcare community for the need for a comprehensive service for the proper and safe collection, tracking, and incineration of medical and biological wastes. This recognition and demand has been precipitated by a number of factors, among which the concerns for staff safety and potential environmental impact are major issues. The relatively recent development and implementation of guidelines and procedures designed to protect medical personnel ft out exposure to pathogens transmitted by blood and body fluids have increaPed both the amount of medical waste designated as "infectious", as well as the demand for proper disposal service. National reports of untreated medical waste appearing in public areas have increased the demand for incineration of such waste, to both ensure the proper destruction of the material as well as to reduce the volume of the residual pnuluct. There is also a growing recognition by Healthcare facilities that sterilization of infectious waste and subsequent landfill disposal is both costly and potentially environmentally unsound. The diminishing capacity of existing landfills, opposition of new sites, and problems with differentiating sterilized medical waste from untreated waste, is making this option increasing unattractive to the medical community. It is estimated that general hospitals generate an average of three (3) to six (6) -pounds of infectious waste per day for each occupied bed. An unknown amount of medical waste is generated fawn outpatient treatment at hospitals. The amount of similar materials from medical and dental clinics, private physician offices, nursing homes, and veterinarian activities is also unknown, but considered to be a significant market segment. The present disposal methods for infectious waste range firm the on-site incineration by large facilities to the direct disposal of untreated medical 890980 r WIXCO SERVICFS, INC. Engineering Design and Operation Report waste in the routine waste stream. The willingness and ability of facilities to do on-site incineration is decreasing as the amount of infectious waste increase . The factors affecting this issue include the cost of operating on- site incinerators, staffing requirements, safety concerns, and the lack of pollution control equipment on older incinerators. The cost of new incinerators in tight budgetary times are disincentives for hospitals to install new services, and prohibitory for non-hospital based facilities. The front range dnes not presently have, or anticipated to have in the near future, adequate facilities for the proper incineration of the growing amount of infectious waste. Wixco Services, Inc. , a Colorado owned and based cotp_ration has responded to this need by the development of a comprehensive and economical program to collect and incinerate such waste materials. Wixco has an exclusive lease agreement on a rotary kiln incinerator, presently located in Golden and permitted by the State Health Department for the incineration of medical waste. It is Wixco's desire to relocate the incinerator and its operation to Weld County. The Weld County site was selected due to a number of favorable factors. The site offers adequate traffic arress for the operation. The surrounding area is of a rural nature with a relatively disperse population. The nature of the surrounding land is such that it is unlikely that development would be of the type which would be incompatible with the facilities operation.The property is zoned as I-3 (Industrial) which is appropriate for the nature of the proposed operation. There is an existing building on the site suitable for the indoor operation of the kiln and storage requirements. Appropriate utilities are lrrated near the facility. Additionally, the present operation on the 80 acre site is quite compatible with Wixco's intended 1.2 Owner and Operator Information Wixco Services, Inc. is a Colorado Corporation formed to provide a waste minimization and management services, as well as professional consultation on regulatory issues, to the Colorado Medical Community.

Weld County Two operating permits will be required from the Weld County authorities. The first is the Certificate of Designation, requested by this application, as authorized under the Colorado Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities Act, Title 30-20-Part 1. The second is a by Special Review fnau the Weld County Commissioners. Wixco Services, Inc. , in conjunction with the owner of the property, intends to request the Commission to amend the existing spe.ial use permit on the property. This request will be submitted in January 1989. C. Utilities Cunuwn utilities such as electricity, telephone, septic system, well water and natural gas, will be required for the facility. Appropriate requests and permits will be acquired fiuiu the respective providers. The Ilse of the facility will not adversely impact any of the service providers. SECTION 2 - RCM AND Lt fGN INFORMATION 2.1 WASTE STREAM DESCRIPTION The waste to be accepted and destroyed at the facility will consist of materials from general classification of "infectious" ("biohazardous") from healthcare and veterinarian activities. No materials classified or regulated as hazardous (i.e. R.C.R.A. or N.R.C. regulated materials) by state or federal agencies will be accepted at the site. Appropriate screening procedures have been established to ensure the non-acceptance of such material at the facility. 2.1.1 Infectious Waste Definition While there appears to be no universally accepted concise definition of what is infectious waste, the E.P.A. has recommended the categories set forth 6 890980 1 WLYCO SERVI , INC. Engineering Design and Operation Report below. These categories have received wide ar nptance as being appropriate for inclusion under the broad term of infectious waste. Classifications of Medical Waste Source: EPA Guide for Infectious Waste Management rcianation of Infectious Waste EPA recommends that the following categories of waste be designated as infectious waste: Waste Category ncamples Isolation Waste refers to Center for Die.Pae-a Control (CDC) , Guidelines for Isolation Precautions in Hospitals, July 1983 Cultures and stock of infectious specimens fLouu medical and pathology agents and neenriated biologicals laboratories cultures and stock of infectious agents flow clinical, reeearch, and industrial laboratories; disposable culture dishes, and devices uzcd to transfer, inoculate and mix cultures waste from production of biological discard live and attenuated vaccines Human blood and blood products waste blood, serum, plasma, and blood products Pathological waste tissues, organs, body parts, blood, and body fluids removed during surgery, autopsy, and biopsy Contaminated sharps contaminatPl hypodermic needles, syringes, ernlpel blades, pasteur pipettes, and broken glass Contaminated animal carcasses, contaminated animal carcaseeG, body body parts, and bedding parts, and bedding of animals that were intentionally exposed to pathogens 7 890980 WIXCO SERVICES, INC.

Contaminated Examples Waste Category Waste fium surgery and autopsy soiled dressing, sponges, drapes lavage tubes, drainage sets, underpads, and surgical gloves M.ir-p1lanecus laboratory specimen containers, slides, and wastes cover slips; disposable gloves, lab coats, and aprons Dialysis unit wastes tubing, filters, disposable sheets, towels, gloves, aprons, and lab rnnts Contaminated equipment equipment used in patient care, medical laboratories, research, and in the production and testing of certain pharmaceutical These materials are examples of waste covered by each category. The categories are not limited to those materials. 2.1.2 Waste Generators National studies and local surveys have indicated that the major generators of infectious waste would be faun the following type of activities: - General acute rare hospitals - Skilled nursing facilities or convalescent hospitals - Intermediate care facilities - In-patient care facilities for the developmentally disabled - chronic dialysis clinics - Free clinics - Community clinics - Employee clinics - Health Maintenance Organizations (HNSt's) - Surgical clinics - Urgent care clinics - Acute psychiatric hospitals - Laboratories - Medical buildings - Physicians Offices - Veterinarians - Dental offices - Funeral Homes 8 890980 WIXCD SERVIC7S, INC. Engineering r sign and Operation Report 2.1.3 Quality of Waste The quantity of waste arrapted at the facility will be limited to the capacity of the incinerator units. Capacities for thpc units are descrih d in Section 3.1.4. 2.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRI1.'n0NS AND SPECIFICATIONS 2.2.1 Collection Equipment All waste will be collected in c.Pa1ed and lined cardboard containers. The containers will be transported in light duty delivery trucks and tractor- trailer units. It is estimated that two (2) twenty-two foot trucks and one tractor-trailer unit will be utilized. 2.2.2 Incineration Facility Equipment The incinerator which will be used in the facility is a rotary kiln, equipped with a wet scrubber for elimination of any acid gas which may be generated and a bag house which will prevent particulate emissions from entering the atmosphere. The major components of the system are shown in Figure 2. The incinerator and pollution control equipment is more fully descrihcl in the Air Quality Permit Application Atttthed as Appendix A. The incinerator is currently rated at 750 pounds of waste per hour. The actual capacity will somewhat depend on the heat value and the moisture content of the incoming waste. A copy of the Air Enission Permit (#88JE161) is included as Appendix B. In adOition, certain pieces of test equipment will be present on site to determine the best means of sharps removal from the ash. There will also be various compactors and ash test handling devices on site to evaluate the potential of using the ash as a commercial or filler pL uluct so that land filling may be avoided in the future. 9 890980 rorj • 0 0 z A 9 0 II o o > IO m rn,MI m � m m A 1 V x r 2 a O O c O.. m m T > N 0 N C = T r m•••4 0 ri O a r 0 N R N N 1 m0 mO 2 er o ag m 2 N 1> rH -c C) r 0 2 In r v a i A NO 0 -IT( =0 5 ma a coa in Lf a °a c' 9 �1 r V a O m o 0� D r N O • m N O O C O 0 a n m =om > 9.

EMployee Shower and Changing facilities 2.4 Storage Requirements It is anticipated that during normal operations, storage will be required only for a brief period as that containers of waste will be off loaded and incinerated shortly after arrival at the facility. Short-term storage will be provided in the waste receiving area. In the event that storage will be required for longer than 48 hours, refrigerated trailers, located outside the operations building, will be utilized. 2.5 ASH PRODUdnON 2.5.1 Characterization Wixco has obtained EP Toxicity results from ash being generated in North Dakota. The results indicate that the ash passes standard EP Toxicity tests and therefore is not hazardous as defined by RCRA regulations. 2.5.2 Disposal Wixco preferred methods of disposal are ranked as follows: 1. Recycle of the ash to cement and/or asphalt plants as a supplement feed. 2. Disposal at an approved municipal waste sanitary landfill. 3. Disposal at a spCLial waste landfill (eg. , Conservation Services, Inc. in Adams County, Colorado) . 4. Disposal at an approved hazardous waste landfill (eg. , Highway 36 Land Development Company in Adams County, Colorado) . Prior to operation of the incinerator facility, arrangements for disposal of the ash will be completed. Since ash disposal is closely regulated by the Colorado Department of Health, approval by that agency will be mandatory. 11 890980 I- 0 0 J H_ j W 6 cc 0 sa J O < LL 2 J W 6 W W 0 0 W < c J ti a cc 0 S H c V3tlV a 3N010AO o w 0 .CX.C LL b W IIIfLI LJ ; --r— i t 2 u < < O - H a T 5 5' gc LL W f 0 2 W_ (.l W a 0 = W a S W ra L = 0 00 C 4.1 11 (A) 890980 WIXCO SERVICFS, INC. Engineering Design and Operation Report 3.1 OPERATIONS PLAN - GENERAL DESCRIPTION 3.1.1 Hours of Operation Office hours for the processing facility will be Ruda 7:00am to 4:00pm, Monday through Friday except for National Holidays. The administrative staff will generally work according to this schedule. The hours of operation of the incinerator will be dependent upon several factors, including: -Collection schedules -Volume of waste to be incinerated -Equipment maintenance schedules The collection schedules will initially be 7:00am to 4:00pm, Monday through Saturday. Special schedules may be required dependent upon client requirements. Deliveries to the facility during off-hours will be minimal and will not have an adverse impact on the existing traffic pattern. The eventual use of two incinerators will permit processing hours to vary dependent upon volume of collected waste. The planned maximum operational time for the initial rotary kiln unit is 24 hours/day for 3-4 days per week. All incineration will be completed in an encloccd building and will not have an impact on the surrounding area. The incinerators will not emit odors or visible emissions. 3.1.2 Daily Operation The daily operation for the collection of waste will be for service trucks to leave the operations facility, collect the waste ficau clients, return to the facility and unload the waste into the receiving area. The clients will be responsible for collection of the waste within their facility. The waste will be collected in lined containers supplied by WIXCO SERVICES, INC. The containers will be clearly ladled with the internationally reccgnized biohazardous symbol. A manifesting system will be employed to ensure the proper tracking and recordation of the collected waste. The system will include a three-part manifest and of a }-ar code program which will identify each collected container by client and container identification number. A record of collection and incineration activity will be provided each client cn a monthly basis. Ash generated in the incineration process will be cooled and disposed of in accordance with applicable lcral , state and federal regulations. An Extraction Procedure (EP) toxicity test will be conducted on the ash on a 12 890980 WIXCO SERTICES, INC. Eigineerirg fesign and Operation Report routine basis to verify that the material is not considered "hazardous" under state and federal RCRA related regulations. Samples of each ash shipment will be kept for 1 year for verification purposes. 3.1.3 Security The service truck cabs and loll es will be locked when not in use and at all times during waste collection, except during actual loading of containers. Clients have been requested to ensure the filled containers are stored in a secured area. The service trucks will be clearly identified by tic of the international biohazardous symbol. The operations facility will be in an enclosed building which will be secured at all times to prevent unauthorized arrimcq, 3.1.4 Throughput Capacity Limitations . The design capacity of the rotary kiln incinerator based on the estimated characteristic of the projected waste stream is a maximum of 750 pounds per hour. At a rate of 24 hours per day, an average of 9 tons could be processed. The actual capacity of the incinerators will depend on the heat value and moisture content of the waste. 3.2 START-UP AND SHU ECWN PROCEDURES 3.2.1 Start-Up Start-up of the incinerator begins with heating the kiln to 1400° F and loading the hopper with waste material. A hydraulic ram is activated to push the refuse from the hopper into the kiln. A gas-fired ignition burner ignites the waste. crises fL uu the unit will be maintained at a discharge temperature of 1800° F. A minimum of 1800° F temperature is maintained in the reactor using a supplement gas-fired ignition burner. 3.2.2 Shutdown Normal shutdown procedures will step the loading of adeitional waste into the unit to allow for c;uplete incineration of the waste material in the kiln. The incinerator is allowed to "cool down" for maintenance but will not be cooled until all waste has been properly incinerated. Minimum combustion temperatures are automatically maintained in the pyrolysis chamber and secondary thermal reactor through the »sa of the supplement gas-fired ignition burners. 13 890980 WIXCO SERVICES, INC. Engineering Design and Operation Report 3.2.3 Unscheduled Unscheduled shutdown would be caused by equipment failure or some other event which would cause interruption of normal operation of the incinerator unit. In the event of such an occurrence, the operating instruction manuals will be consulted for each of the pieces of equipment in question. 3.2.4 Waste and Ash Removal In the event of an unscheduled shutdown, waste material that has not been completely processed will be left in the unit until start-up can be resumed or will be removed through the use of the ash removal system. Any partially incinerated waste material removed from the unit will be stored in a metal bin until the processing can be completed. 3.3 WASTE DISPOSAL AND STORAGE ALTERNATIVES 3.3.1 Refrigerated Storage In the event that the incinerator units were temporarily inoperable for a short period of time the refrigerated semi-trailer van units would be used on the site and parked in a designated area. Incoming waste would be stored in the refrigerated vans until processing could be resumed. The vans would be completely disinfected after i» in accordance with procedures speLified in the Equipment Sanitation Policy. 3.3.2 Reciprocal Disposal Agreements Should prolonged shutdown of the incinerator units occur, the refrigerated vans would be transported to another incinerator facility. Contract disposal arrangements and reciprocal agreements are currently in place. These agreements have been made with other crcial biomedical waste incineration companies. 3.4 ENVIRONMENTAL PRO EeriON PLAN The environmental protection plan is intended to prevent environmental degradation during normal operations cf the facility and during unusual occurrences. 3.4.1 Air Quality The facility will be operated under the provisions of the Air Pollution Emission Permit issued by the Colorado Department of Health, Air Pollution Control Division. The permit is included as Appendix B. 14 890980 WIXC0 SERVICES, INC. Engineering Design and Operation Report 3.4.2 Water Quality The incineration facility is an enclosed building which will have a concrete floor. Liquid waste from floor and equipment washing of leakage from the waste boxes will be disinfected and flushed down the drain. The Center for Dieeeee Control "Recommendations for Prevention of HIV Transmission in Health- Care Settings" state that sanitary :dowers may be used to dispose of liquid infectious waste. The drains will be located in specific work areas to minimize the amount of floor space to be used for cleanup, thereby minimizing exposure to workers. 3.4.3 Soil Soil contaminated fLk.ut leakage from trucks containing waste or from other incidents will be cleaned up according to procedures outlined in the Spill Control Policy. Records of soil contamination cleanups will be submitted to the appropriate regulatory agencies. Fuel storage tanks will not be located on the property. If soil is contaminated flow leaks flan trucks or other vehicles, disposal procedures in effect at that time will be used. 3.4.4 Sanitation All incoming containers -will be unloaded into the waste receiving area. Adequate space is available to contain the equivalent of 48 hours of collected waste materials. In the event that the containers cannot be incinerated within 48 hours of collection, the material will be stored in the refrigerated trailers. The trailers will be capable of transfer to another incineration facility, if required. The trailers will be marked with the international biohazard symbol. The operations facility and refrigerated trailers will be rodent and vermin resistant. Vermin and rodent control measures will be implemented when indicated. No waste containers will be stored outside the operations building or the refrigerated trailers. 3.4.5 Hazardous and Radiological Waste Identification The waste generator is responsible for ensuring that no hazardous waste (as defined by appropriate State and Federal agencies) enters the biomedical waste stream. This is clearly stated in contractual agreements as well as being emphasized during initial inservicing of clients on proper collection procedures. Quality control personnel will do spot checks of loads to ensure compliance with this re vireTent. In the event that hazardous materials are identified 15 890980 WIXCO SERVIrFS, INC. Engineering Design and Operation Report as being mixed with the biomedical waste, the generator and appropriate regulatory agency will be notified. The individualized bar code system will identify the source of the waste. Continued disposal of inappropriate waste will result in the termination of the collection service. Radiological waste will be screened at the generator site through the ugP of a geiger counter on each service vehicle. Any container testing positive for radiation source will not be accepted and the generator notified. 3.5 HEALTH AND SAFETY PLANS 3.5.1 Fire Prevention The applicable fire code will be followed in the design and operation of the facility. The design and operation plan will be submitted to the Platteville Fire Department. Training in the nature of biomedical waste and appropriate precautionary measures will be offered to the local fire department. 3.5.2 Emergency Response WIXCO Services' drivers will be trained in emergency response procedures. All trucks will be marked with the international biohazard symbol. The trucks will be equil.ti with a response kit which includes gloves, disposable clothing, respirator, extra packaging materials and disinfectant. In the event of a WIXCO Servicing incident, lcral emergency response personnel should follow the guidelines in the U. S. Department of Transportation Emergency Response Guidebook (WT P 5800.4) .

Processing operators will, as a minimum, meet the training and axr,arience requirements as set forth in the Air Emissions Permit. 3.7 RECORD SEEPING Tracking of waste containers from collection to ultimate disposal will be conducted by a combination of the manifest system and bear code program. The manifest system will meet the rarinirements of DOT and The Colorado Department of Haalth Solid Waste Division. The bar code program will be utilized to identify and track each container by client, container number, and collection date. The client will be provided with a monthly summary of collection and dibjc,sa1 activities. Additional records as required by regulatory agencies, such as the Colorado State Health Department Air Pollution Control Division and Solid Waste 18 890980 WIXCC SERVICES, INC. Engineering Design and Cperation Report Division, will be maintained on a permanent basis as required by appropriate regulations. Wixco Services' records and operations facility will be open for inspection to both regulatory agencies and clients. All visiting personnel will be required to wear supplied safety equipment when appropriate. 3.8 CLDSURE PLAN 3.8.1 Notifications The facility is anticipated to have a long life expectancy due to the nature of its operation and the ability to replace/update equipment as required. In the event of a closure of the facility, all clients and appropriate regulatory agencies will be notified at least 90 days in advance of the closure date. This will permit clients to obtain alternate services and regulatory agencies to ncnitor the closure procedures. 3.8.2 Dec.^mmissicning A. Waste collection will be terminated prior to ceasation of incineration operations to permit the destruction of all collected materials. In the unlikely event that on-site incineration of all materials cannot be completed prior to ceasation of operations, any residual waste will be transported in refrigerated trailers to an approved biomedical incinerator for destruction. B. Upon cessation of operations, the facility will be thoroughly cleaned and opened for inspection by regulatory agencies. Any post-closure monitoring required by such agencies will be conducted in accordance with their spoifications. C. Environmental Impact Unlike solid waste landfills, the biomedical waste disposal facility should not produce any residual environmental impact. This determination is rased upon the nature of the waste and incineration operation, and the off-site disposal of the incinerator ash. Environmental concerns not presently recognized or anticipated will be addressed prior to closure of the facility. 19 890980 APPENDIX A AIR QUALITY PERMIT APPLICATION 890980 5908 McINTYRE STREET • GOLDEN. COLORADO 80403 PHONE (303) 279-2581 • TELEX 754211 June 13, 1988 IPRC Project 881077 Mr. Abe Vasquez Public He1th Enginesr Air Quality Control Division Colorado Decarbient of Health 3773 Cherry Creek Drive Denver, Colorado 80222 near Sir: Inter aticral Process Research Corporation (IPRC) is plead to submit this permit application to incinerate biomedical wastes at cur facility located at 5906 McIntyre Street, C-olden, Colorado (Jefferson County) . As we had indicarPn in the past, the exact make up of the waste and therefore the ash pLuucts are nct well defined because incineration contracts have yet to be signed with area hospitals. IPRC has provided, in the permit, the be t information we have to date and will this material as incineration tests and data become available. Ram' cn cur analyses of an average c=se crwiario with the e j ipment we currently envision using for this endeavor, we believe that a maxim= of 0.3 tons of particulates may be discharged from cur system during any one We also believe that this figure can be iI:proved upon. We appreciate your efforts in diarleeing cur alternatives and the viability of obtaining this penult. If you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance, ple ° do not hesitate to call. Respectfully, Gregory F. Chlumsk.7 President 890980 INTERNATIONAL PROCESS RESEARCH CORPCRATICN IR2PCDOCTICN International Process Research CoLpuraticn (trta_) is located at 5906 McIntyre Street, Golden, Colorado. A location map is provided as Figure 1. International Process Research Corporation is a Colorado Corporation hearirartPred in Jefferson County. On July 1, 1987, IFRC purchased the Process Division of the Colorado School of Mines Research Institute. This puxctasa inclnthrd all the equipment owned by CRI including a 3-foot-diameter 33-foot-long rotary kiln which has been set up and used on site for research projects since 1968. Also, the equipment package included scrubbers and baghcucz to clean the air after rlieriirge fiva the kiln. Luring the first quarter of 1988, IFRC began diCr-7seiOns to determine the requirements necessary to incinerate biomedical wastes from the metro area. The State Department of Health informed us that the material was not nor will not in t'e near future be classified as hazardous. -The Air Quality Division of the State Department of Health also informed IFRC that only an air quality permit would be necessary since the source would be minimal for the small tonnage of material we would be processing. With this knowledge in hand, IPRC then prcce°aed to contact Jefferson County to determine any possible restric- tions in the zoning or land use. At this time, IPCC has an 18-month ayir�znent with the Jeffco Zoning Commission to proceed. LEFINITION The definition of biomedical wastes inclr`APS any materials (except low-level radioactive wastes) such as pathological wastes, infectious wastes, paper, disposables such as plastic gowns, gloves, syringes, bed pads, pillow c'GPs, etc. generated by hospitals and other types of medical and dental facilities. BeBesPA cn discussions with incinerator carr ',nies in California and South Carolina, at least 75% of the biomedical material received for incineration is plastic and papr. CURRENT ItiMERATISN PLAN At the prosont, IPPC is developing the following plan for processing of the biomedical material. The biomedical waste generated and separated bowl any hazardous materials at the hospital, clinic, or laboratory will be picked up by an indP*=-dent con- tractor in a small van or truck. The material will be sled in a strong leak-proof container by the generator cr the contractor personnel. This material will be properly manifested but will not require any hazardous markings cn the exterior of the transxrt vehicle. The material thereby collected and transported will be delivered once or pcsqibly twice per day in a vehicle not exceeding 24 feet in lergth to IPRC'S facilities at 5906 Mclntrye Street in Golden, Colorado. The gross weight of the trucks will not exceed any road limit conditions now in existence. The material will be unleaded into a facility where it will be held for processing. This hold time will not normally exrPcxl 24 hours. The boxes fruit the holding area will be transported by conveyor to the incinerator. 890980 — .� - I ! -2-- - _ i 3 - t I s ii ; - i j 1 • iiii ••• �� - j • i oY nh a • • .

Feeding systems for the rotary kiln include a ram feed mechanism and a charging auger. The ram feed mechanism for waste charging is designed to provide menial feer4 or . a hopper and guillotine-door arrarr,Pv=zt. For &AIticral burn-back protection, a water spray fire-protection system is included in the design. The length to diameter (I/D) ratio for rotary kiln is 11:1, and rotational speeds range LLam 0.3 to 1.5 meters per minute at the kiln periphery. Speed of rotation can be varied to maintai ate solids retention ti„w in the kiln to ensure good burnout of the waste. Residence times vary from a few seconds for gases to 4 hairs for solids. Typical operating termerature for the rotary )cJn incinerator will be 1,800°F. Rotary kilns have been sucarigfully applied to various industrial operation, including pulp and paper bisulfite mills and cement plants. The technology is well suited for the incineration of a wide variety of liquids and solids and is particularly amenable to the dest�riction of wastes that are difficult to thermally degrade since temperatures in excess of 1,400°C (2,550°F) can be achieved. In addition, rotary kilns can aerate the direct charging of bulk containers without preparation. At this time, the operation of rotary kilns is not (rnmcn for the incineration of biczt ical waste. The exact nature of ash is currently not known. • 890980 U- W U y 0 o >2m O oo W O 0 O 0 W N CO D 0 J m S CO W 2 ,o. J Q2 u—t..

The UW-4 scrubber is a three- _ -_5_: stage, non-plugging collection sys- �- - - tern ideally suited for product re- ", covery and dust collection. s +r:4Hundreds of UW-4 scrubbers are `-\ r in operation in the mining,fertilizer, chemical, steel, stone, paper and r related industries. Its high collec- tion efficiency of up to 99.5% in - V \ `� - the 'I to 2 micron range is achieved v I-through "dynamic" action. "Dy- t l namic" scrubbing involves the use —_ r of a wet fan to mix gas, dust and -j1,,-...- �` ti:::::i - -=eater to the extreme turbulenc• • I` n \ - which forces dust particles into y -` the scrubbing liquid. .; - - - i Advantages _ The Ducon Dynamic UW-4 scrub- I ber offers continuous performance at maximum collection efficiencies combined with maintenance-free operation. Since the fan is built _ x i right into the unit, no additional — _ .� fan is required to act as prime _t mover to overcome resistance cut- sice the scrubber. By having the .--4E.---..Pc- ,74,..L-2 ..,--.- fan thoroughly wet at all times, the normal problems of conden- F sation and buildup or abrasion are greatly reduced. There are no wet-to-dry areas in the system and no small openings to plug. Minimum make-up water is re- quired, since the scrubbing liquid can be recirculated. Instantaneous start-up and shut-down are pos- sible because no specific water level must be maintained. In addi- ( tion, the constant speed of the dynamic fan assures top perform- ance even when gas flows are as ®980 low as 60-70% of design capacity. 8� DESIGNED FOR HIGH E:FIC:L ,Y, LOW MAINTENANCE r The unit has proven itself the best Fan Impeller Unique Vane Design choice for all kiln dryer applica- tions, pelletizing and sintering • The wide open design cf the co- plants and control of all types of '3'?1 77-'- .:.:-.,7:_. ridge! impingement e . vane assures trc.:c -�- Its e. non-piucnd opera- material handling such as con- _:: -' •z?, . veyor transfer points,screens, bins, 'ac Its efficiency and cecenc- crushers and mills.

The pre-cleaner section of the dy- namic UW-4 provides many imme- diate advantages for the system. Ey eliminating up to GC% of the dust load before the fan section, it allows for higher operating effi- ciencies in the two remaining stages. Also, by removing the heavier particles, it disposes of abrasion problems before they have a chance to arise.

The emit will be equipped with automatic safety devices to insure that the material cannot enter the kiln if the temperature within the unit is not adequate for proper incineration. The unit will also be equil, l with gas monitoring equipment to insure proper operation. The unit must pass standard Health Department criteria for particulate matter arri opacity prior to receiv- ing a permit to operate. The material will be fed at a rate of approximately 750 pounds per hour and operate at a maximum 16 hours per day, 5 days per week. (Operations of the kiln at the beginning of the project may rct be as extensive due to market—rg and lack of feed.) The sterile ash from the kiln and air cleaning Plnipment will be transferred to drums or a disposal bin for transport. The material will be removed in the same tricks that bring material to IPRC or by contract for pL‘sper disposal. The ash produced fl.cra the operation is not hazardous and can be disposed of in an ordinary land fill. On a ton-shift per day basis, the additional labor required at IPRC to handle this project will be four additional personnel. Personnel currently employed by 'PRO will also be involved in the project as reiu+;red. 890980 INTERNATIONAL PROCESS RESEARCH CORPORATION BIQMEDICAL WASTE As previously stated, IPRC intents to incinerate biomedical waste fiLAu various hospitals in the Dever Metro area. A dr rription of the waste material which can be available for this process is presented in Table 1. At this time, irEC envisions most of the material which we will incinerate to fall in the A-3 category although cr-mo Al material is to be expected. fnad on this assunm tion, IPRC has envisioned treating 750 pounds per hour of this material through our rotary kiln. • 890980 TABLE 1 CHARACTERIZATION OF BIOMEDICAL WASTE (Imperial Units) 1 I 2 I 3 I 4 I 5 I 6 I 7 I 8 WASTE CCrl-OiENT TYPICAL HHV BULK rCSTLFE WEIGHTED TYPICAL C.A.= CESC"..IPTICN C yr&NT CRY BASIS DENSITY CONTENT CF HEAT VALUE Ct CtF.NT WEIGHT (BTU/Ib) AS FIRED COMPONENT RANGE CF PEATVALLI PFSC NT (lb/ft 3) eice T WASTE CF WASTE (AS FIRED) PERCS.NT) CroCNENT AS F l D (BTU/lb) (BTU/ib) Anatomical Al Hunan b 95-100 8000-12000 `0-5. 70-40 760-3600 1200 (Red Bag) Plastic 0-5 14000_20000 5-144 0-1 0-1000 IOC Swats.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION A. Introduction This manuafprovides operation and maintenance instructions for the Mikro-Pulsaire Dry Dust Collector Unit B. Description The Mikro-Pulsaire unit is a continuous self-cleaning dust filter capable of removing dust par- ticles as small as sub-micron size from gaseous streams. High dust collecting efficiency is maintained under continuous operating conditions without the use of internal moving parts or rapping mechanisms. Versatile application and simplicity of operation are inherent design features. The collector(Figure 6) is divided into two dust tight compartments by the tube sheet,(D).The lowercompartment is called the housing,(M).The housing contains the filter bags,(A).The filter bags fit around and are supported by wire retainers,(B).The filter bags and wire retainers,as units, are clamped to special "venturi" shaped nozzles, (E), which are fastened to the tube sheet and which extend into the bag/retainer assemblies. The filter bags are fabricated from material suitable for the temperature, moisture and resis- tance characteristics of the gas stream (Table 1). Special coating treatments are available to increase collection efficiency.Untreated bags are preferred when the treatment is harmful to the product. The upper compartment is called the Plenum,(Q).The plenum houses the blowtubes,(F),sup- ports the solenoid valves,(-I),diaphragm valves,(K),and compressed air manifold,(L),and pro- vides an exhaust outlet, (R), for the filtered gas. The blowtubes, with orifice nozzles, (G), are located above each row of filter bags such that the orifice nozzles are directly above the throat of each venturi in that row. The collector housing is designed to accept a hopper,(O).The hopper usually provides an inlet for the dust-laden gases and an outlet for the collected dust.The hopper outlet is adaptable to airlock, slide gate or screw conveyor control. A diffuser m (if supplied) absorbs the impact of high velocity dust particles and distributes the flow of the incoming air. Each collector has a manometer(S), or magnehelic gauge supplied with it.The field installed manometer or magnehelic gauge registers the pressure differential across the collector mak- ing it a useful tool for monitoring the efficiency of the pulse jet cleaning of the bags. • ' 890980 • TABLE 1.

However, occupational exposure to human breast milk has not been implicated in the trans- mission of HIV nor HBV infection to health-care workers. Moreover, the health-care worker will not have the same type of intensive exposure to breast milk as the nursing neonate. Whereas universal precautions do not apply to human breast milk, gloves may be worn by health-care workers in situations where exposures to breast milk might be frequent, for example, in breast milk banking. Saliva of some persons infected with HBV has been shown to contain HBV-DNA at concentrations 1/1,000 to 1/10,000 of that found in the infected person's serum (75). HBsAg-positive saliva has been shown to be infectious when injected into experi- mental animals and in human bite exposures (16-18). However, HBsAg-positive saliva has not been shown to be infectious when applied to oral mucous membranes in experimental primate studies (78) or through contamination of musical instru- ments or cardiopulmonary resuscitation dummies used by HBV carriers (19,20). Epidemiologic studies of nonsexual household contacts of HIV-infected patients, including several small series in which HIV transmission failed to occur after bites or after percutaneous inoculation or contamination of cuts and open wounds with saliva from HIV-infected patients,suggest that the potential for salivary transmission of HIV is remote (5,13,74,21,22). One case report from Germany has suggested the possi- bility of transmission of HIV in a household setting from an infected child to a sibling through a human bite (23).The bite did not break the skin or result in bleeding. Since the date of seroconversion to HIV was not known for either child in this case, evidence for the role of saliva in the transmission of virus is unclear (23). Another case report suggested the possibility of transmission of HIV from husband to wife by contact with saliva during kissing(24). However,follow-up studies did not confirm HIV infection in the wife (21 ). Universal precautions do not apply to saliva. General infection control practices already in existence — including the use of gloves for digital examination of mucous membranes and .endotracheal suctioning, and handwashing after exposure to saliva — should further minimize the minute risk, if any, for salivary transmission of HIV and HBV (7,25). Gloves need not be worn when feeding patients and when wiping saliva from skin. Special precautions, however, are recommended for dentistry (11. Occupationally acquired infection with HBV in dental workers has been documented (4), and two possible cases of occupationally acquired HIV infection involving dentists have been reported (5,26). During dental procedures, contamination of saliva with blood is predictable, trauma to health-care workers' hands is common, and blood spattering may occur. Infection control precautions for dentistry minimize the potential for nonintact skin and mucous membrane contact of dental health-care workers to blood-contaminated saliva of patients. In addition, the use of gloves for oral examinations and treatment in the dental setting may also protect the patient's oral mucous membranes from exposures to blood, which may occur from breaks in the skin of dental workers' hands. Use of Protective Barriers Protective barriers reduce the risk of exposure of the health-care worker's skin or mucous membranes to potentially infective materials. For universal precautions. • 890980 Occupational Safety& Healtn Reporter 14 S-7.32 OSHA SIANCARD DIP I'JC 21:9619 380 MMWR June 24, 1988 Update: HIV — Continued protective barriers reduce the risk of exposure to blood, body fluids containing visible blood, and other fluids to which universal precautions apply. Examples of protective barriers include gloves,gowns,masks, and protective eyewear.Gloves should reduce the incidence of contamination of hands, but they cannot prevent penetrating injuries due to needles or other sharp instruments. Masks and protective eyewear or face shields should reduce the incidence of contamination of mucous membranes of the mouth, nose. and eyes. Universal precautions are intended to supplement rather than replace recommen- dations for routine infection control, such as handwashing and using gloves to prevent gross microbial contamination of hands(27).Because specifying the types of barriers needed for every possible clinical situation is impractical, some judgment must be exercised. The risk of nosocomial transmission of HIV, HBV, and other bloodborne pathogens can be minimized if health-care workers use the following general guidelines:' 1. Take care to prevent injuries when using needles, scalpels, and other sharp instruments or devices;when handling sharp instruments after procedures; when cleaning used instruments; and when disposing of used needles. Do not recap used needles by hand: do not remove used needles from disposable syringes by hand: and do not bend, break, or otherwise manipulate used needles by hand. Place used disposable syringes and needles, scalpel blades,and other sharp items in puncture-resistant containers for disposal. Locate the puncture-resistant con- tainers as close to the use area as is practical. 2. Use protective barriers to prevent exposure to blood, body fluids containing visible blood,and other fluids to which universal precautions apply.The type of protective barrier(s)should be appropriate for the procedure being performed and the type of exposure anticipated. 3. Immediately and thoroughly wash hands and other skin surfaces that are contam- inated with blood, body fluids containing visible blood, or other body fluids to which universal precautions apply. Glove Use for Phlebotomy Gloves should reduce the incidence of blood contamination of hands during phlebotomy (drawing blood samples), but they cannot prevent penetrating injuries caused by needles or other sharp instruments.The likelihood of hand contamination with blood containing HIV, HBV, or other bloodborne pathogens during phlebotomy depends on several factors: 1)the skill and technique of the health-care worker,2)the frequency with which the health-care worker performs the procedure (other factors being equal,the cumulative risk of blood exposure is higher for a health-care worker who performs more procedures), 3) whether the procedure occurs in a routine or emergency situation (where blood contact may be more likely),and 4)the prevalence of infection with bloodborne pathogens in the patient population. The likelihood of infection after skin exposure to blood containing HIV or HBV will depend on the concentration of virus (viral concentration is much higher for hepatitis B than for HIV), the duration of contact. the presence of skin lesions on the hands of the health-care worker, and — for HBV — the immune status of the health-care worker. Although not accurately quantified, the risk of HIV infection following intact skin contact with infective blood is certainly much less than the 0.5% risk following percutaneous *The August 1987 publication should be consulted for general information and specific recommendations not addressed in this update. 890980 9-28-8a Published by THE BUREAU OF NATIONAL AFFAIRS.INC..Wasnmgton.O.C.20037 15 21.5620 REFERENCE FILE Vol 37 / No. 2,1 MMWR 381 Uccate: HIV — Continued neeclestick exposures (51. In universal precautions, a// blood is assumed to be (\• potentially infective for bloodborne pathogens, but in certain settings (e.g.. volunteer blood-donation centers)the prevalence of infection with some bloodborne pathogens (e.g.. HIV, HBV) is known to be very low. Some institutions have relaxed recommen- dations for using gloves for phlebotomy procedures by skilled phlebotomists in settings where the prevalence of bloodborne pathogens is known to be very low. Institutions that judge that routine gloving for a/I phlebotomies is not necessary should periodically reevaluate their policy. Gloves should always be available to health-care workers who wish to use them for phlebotomy. In addition, the following general guidelines apply: 1. Use gloves for performing phlebotomy when the health-care worker has cuts. scratches, or other breaks in his/her skin. 2. Use gloves in situations where the health-care worker judges that hand contami- nation with blood may occur, for example. when performing phlebotomy on an uncooperative patient. 3. Use gloves for performing finger and/or heel sticks on infants and children. 4. Use gloves when persons are receiving training in phlebotomy. Selection of Gloves The Center for Devices and Radiological Health, FDA, has responsibility for regulating thu medical glove industry. Medical gloves include those marketed as sterile surgical or nonsterile examination gloves made of vinyl or latex. General purpose utility("rubber") gloves are also used in the health-care setting, but they are not regulated by FDA since they are not promoted for medical use. There are no reported differences in barrier effectiveness between intact latex and intact vinyl used to manufacture gloves. Thus, the type of gloves selected should be appropriate for the task being performed. The following general guidelines are recommended: 1. Use sterile gloves for procedures involving contact with normally sterile areas of the body. 2. Use examination gloves for procedures involving contact with mucous mem- branes, unless otherwise indicated, and for other patient care or diagnostic procedures that do not require the use of sterile gloves. 3. Change gloves between patient contacts. 4. Do not wash or disinfect surgical or examination gloves for reuse. Washing with surfactants may cause "wicking,"i.e.,the enhanced penetration of liquids through undetected holes in the glove. Disinfecting agents may cause deterioration. 5. Use general-purpose utility gloves (e.g., rubber household gloves) for housekeep- ing chores involving potential blood contact and for instrument cleaning and decontamination procedures. Utility gloves may be decontaminated and reused but should be discarded if they are peeling,cracked, or discolored, or if they have punctures, tears, or other evidence of deterioration. Waste Management Universal precautions are not intended to change waste management programs previously recommended by CDC for health-care settings (1 ). Policies for defining, collecting, storing, decontaminating, and disposing of infective waste are generally determined by institutions in accordance with state and local regulations.

'090980 Occupational Safety a Hearth Reporter 18 S-232 OSHA STANDARD DIRECTIVES 21:9623 Appendix B Recommendations for Prevention of HIV Transmission in Health-Care Settings Introduction Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes acquired immuno- deficiency syndrome (AIDS). is transmitted through sexual contact and exposure to infected blood or blood components and perinatally from mother to neonate. HIV has been isolated from blood, semen, vaginal secretions, saliva. tears, breast milk, cerebrospinal fluid, amniotic fluid, and urine and is likely to be isolated from other body fluids, secretions, and excretions. However, epidemiologic evidence has impli- cated only blood,semen,vaginal secretions,and possibly breast milk in transmission. The increasing prevalence of HIV increases the risk that health-care workers will be exposed to blood from patients infected with HIV. especially when blood and body- fluid precautions are not followed for all patients. Thus, this document emphasizes the need for health-care workers to consider all patients as potentially infected with HIV and/or other blood-borne pathogens and to adhere rigorously to infection-control precautions for minimizing the risk of exposure to blood and body fluids of all patients. The recommendations contained in this document consolidate and update CDC ( recommendations published earlier for preventing HIV transmission in health-care settings: precautions for clinical and laboratory staffs (1 ) and precautions for health-care workers and allied professionals (2): recommendations for preventing HIV transmission in the workplace (3) and during invasive procedures (4); recom- mendations for preventing possible transmission of HIV from tears (5): and recom- mendations for providing dialysis treatment for HIV-infected patients (6). These recommendations also update portions of the 'Guideline for Isolation Precautions in Hospitals'(7) and reemphasize some of the recommendations contained in"Infection Control Practices for Dentistry' (8). The recommendations contained in this docu- ment have been developed for use in health-care settings and emphasize the need to treat blood and other body fluids from ail patients as potentially infective.These same prudent precautions also should be taken in other settings in which persons may be exposed to blood or other body fluids. Definition of Health-Care Workers Health-care workers are defined as persons, including•students and trainees, whose activities involve contact with patients or with blood or other body fluids from patients in a health-care setting. 890980 19 9-28-88 Published by THE BUREAU OF NATIONAL AFFAIRS.INC..Washington.D.C.20037 21 962: _ REFERENCE ALE Health-Care Workers with AIDS As of July 10, 1987,a total of 1,875(5.8%)of 32,395 adults with AIDS,wno had been reported to the CDC national surveillance system and for whom occupational information was available, reported being employed in a health-care or clinical laboratory setting. In comparison, 6.8 million persons—representing 5.6% of the U.S. labor force—were employed in health services. Of the health-care workers with AIDS, 95% have been reported to exhibit high-risk behavior; for the remaining 5%, the means of HIV acquisition was undetermined. Health-care workers with AIDS were significantly more likely than other workers to have an undetermined risk (5%versus 3%, respectively). For both health-care workers and non-health-care workers with AIDS, the proportion with an undetermined risk has not increased since 1982. AIDS patients initially reported as not belonging to recognized risk groups are investigated by state and local health departments to determine whether possible risk factors exist. Of all health-care workers with AIDS reported to CDC who were initially characterized as not having an identified risk and for whom follow-up information was available, 66% have been reclassified because risk factors were identified or because the patient was found not to meet the surveillance case definition for AIDS. Of the 87 health-care workers currently categorized as having no identifiable risk, information is incomplete on 16 (18%) because of death or refusal to be interviewed; 38 (44%) are still being investigated. The remaining 33 (38'/0) health-care workers were interviewed or had other follow-up information available. The occupations of • these 33 were as follows: five physicians (15%), three of whom were surgeons; one dentist (3%); three nurses (9%): nine nursing assistants (27%); seven housekeeping or maintenance workers (21%); three clinical laboratory technicians (9%); one therapist (3%); and four others who did not have contact with patients (12%). Although 15 of these 33 health-care workers reported parenteral and/or other non-needlestick exposure to blood or body fluids from patients in the 10 years preceding their diagnosis of AIDS, none of these exposures involved a patient with AIDS or known HIV infection. Risk to Health-Care Workers of Acquiring HIV in Health-Care Settings Health-care workers with documented percutaneous or mucous-membrane expo- sures to blood or body fluids of HIV-infected patients have been prospectively evaluated to determine the risk of infection after such exposures.As of June 30, 1987, 883 health-care workers have been tested for antibody to HIV in an ongoing surveillance project conducted by CDC (9). Of these, 708 (80%) had percutaneous exposures to blood, and 175 (20%) had a mucous membrane or an open wound contaminated by blood or body fluid. Of 396 health-care workers, each of whom had only a convalescent-phase serum sample obtained and tested a90 days post- exposure, one—for whom heterosexual transmission could not be ruled out—was seropositive for HIV antibody. For 425 additional health-care workers, both acute- and convalescent-phase serum samples were obtained and tested; none of 74 health-care workers with nonpercutaneous exposures seroconverted, and three (0.9%) of 351 with percutaneous exposures seroconverted.None of these three health-care workers had other documented risk factors for infection. Two other prospective studies to assess the risk of nosocomial acquisition of HIV infection for health-care workers are ongoing in the United States. As of April 30, 890960 (.- Occupational Safety& Heaitn Reporter 40 S OSHA STANDARD DIRECTIVES 21:9625 1987, 332 health-care workers with a total of 453 needlestick or mucous-membrane exposures to the blood or other body fluids of HIV-infected patients were tested for HIV antibody at the National Institutes of Health (10). These exposed workers included 103 with needlestick injuries and 229 with mucous-membrane exposures; none had seroconverted. A similar study at the University of California of 129 health-care workers with documented needlestick injuries or mucous-membrane exposures to blood or other body fluids from patients with HIV infection has not identified any seroconversions (11 ). Results of a prospective study in the United Kingdom identified no evidence of transmission among 150 health-care workers with parenteral or mucous-membrane exposures to blood or other body fluids- secretions. or excretions from patients with HIV infection (12). In addition to health-care workers enrolled in prospective studies, eight persons who provided care to infected patients and denied other risk factors have been reported to have acquired HIV infection. Three of these health-care workers had needlestick exposures to blood from infected patients (13-15). Two were persons who provided nursing care to infected persons; although neither sustained a needlestick, b_th had extensive contact with blood or other body fluids, and neither observed recommended barrier precautions (16,17). The other three were health- care workers with non-needlestick exposures to blood from infected patients (19). Although the exact route of transmission for these last three infections is not known. all three persons had direct contact of their skin with blood from infected patients, all had skin lesions that may have been contaminated by blood, and one also had a mucous•membrane exposure. A total of 1,231 dentists and hygienists, many of whom practiced in areas with many AIDS cases, participated in a study to determine the prevalence of antibody to HIV; one dentist (0.1%) had HIV antibody. Although no exposure to a known HIV-infected person could be documented, epidemiologic investigation did not identify any other risk factor for infection.The infected dentist,who also had a history ( of sustaining needlestick injuries and trauma to his hands, did not routinely wear gloves when providing dental care (19). Precautions To Prevent Transmission of HIV Universal Precautions Since medical history and examination cannot reliably identify all patients infected with HIV or other blood-borne pathogens. blood and body-fluid precautions should be consistently used for all patients.This approach, previously recommended by CDC (3,4), and referred to as universal blood and body-fluid precautions" or "universal precautions," should be used in the care of all patients, especially including those in emergency-care settings in which the risk of blood exposure is increased and the infection status of the patient is usually unknown (20 I. 1. All health-care workers should routinely use appropriate barrier precautions to prevent skin and mucous-membrane exposure when contact with blood or other body fluids of any patient is anticipated. Gloves should be worn for touching blood and body fluids, mucous membranes, or non-intact skin of all patients,for handling items or surfaces soiled with blood or body fluids, and for performing venipuncture and other vascular access procedures. Gloves should be changed after contact with each patient. Masks and protective eyewear or face shields should be worn during procedures that are likely to generate 896960 9-28-88 Published by THE BUREAU OF NATIONAL AFFAIRS.INC..Washington,D.C.20037 21 21 9626 REFERENCE FILE droplets of blood or other body fluids to prevent exposure of mucous mem- branes of the mouth, nose, and eyes. Gowns or aprons should be worn during procedures that are likely to generate splashes of blood or other body fluids. 2. Hands and other skin surfaces should be washed immediately and thoroughly if contaminated with blood or other body fluids. Hands should be washed immediately after gloves are removed. 3. All health-care workers should take precautions to prevent injuries caused by needles, scalpels, and other sharp instruments or devices during procedures; when cleaning used instruments; during disposal of used needles; and when handling sharp instruments after procedures. To prevent needlestick injuries, needles should not be recapped, purposely bent or broken by hand, removed from disposable syringes, or otherwise manipulated by hand. After they are used, disposable syringes and needles, scalpel blades, and other sharp items should be placed in puncture-resistant containers for disposal; the puncture- ' resistant containers should be located as close as practical to the use area. Large-bore reusable needles should be placed in a puncture-resistant container for transport to the reprocessing area. 4. Although saliva has not been implicated in HIV transmission, to minimize the need for emergency mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, mouthpieces, resuscitation bags, or other ventilation devices should be available for use in areas in which the need for resuscitation is predictable. 5. Health-care workers who have exudative lesions or weeping dermatitis should refrain from all direct patient care and from handling patient-care equipment until the condition resolves. 6. Pregnant health-care workers are not known to be at greater risk of contracting HIV infection than health-care workers who are not pregnant; however, if a health-care worker develops HIV infection during pregnancy,the infant is at risk of infection resulting from perinatal transmission. Because of this risk, pregnant health-care workers should be especially familiar with and strictly adhere to precautions to minimize the risk of HIV transmission. Implementation of universal blood and body-fluid precautions for all patients eliminates the need for use of the isolation category of "Blood and Body Fluid Precautions-previously recommended by CDC(7)for patients known or suspected to be infected with blood-borne pathogens. Isolation precautions (e.g., enteric, "AFB" (71) should be used as necessary if associated conditions, such as infectious diarrhea or tuberculosis, are diagnosed or suspected. Precautions for Invasive Procedures In this document, an invasive procedure is defined as surgical entry into tissues, cavities, or organs or repair of major traumatic injuries 1) in an operating or delivery room, emergency department, or outpatient setting, including both physicians' and dentists'offices; 2) cardiac catheterization and angiographic procedures; 3) a vaginal or cesarean delivery or other invasive obstetric procedure during which bleeding may occur; or 4) the manipulation, cutting, or removal of any oral or perioral tissues, including tooth structure, during which bleeding occurs or the potential for bleeding exists. The universal blood and body-fluid precautions listed above, combined with the precautions listed below, should be the minimum precautions for all such invasive procedures. 1. All health-care workers who participate in invasive procedures must routinely use appropriate barrier precautions to prevent skin and mucous-membrane contact with blood and other body fluids of all patients. Gloves and surgical 89O950 �. Occupational Safety d Hearin Reporter 22 -532 OSHA STANDARD GIFEC'IVCC 219.627 masks must be worn for all invasive procedures. Pratt:Clive eyewear or face shields should be worn for procedures that Commonly result in the generation of droplets, splashing of blood or other body fluids, or the generation; of bone chips. Gowns or aprons made of materials that provide an effective barrier should be worn during invasive procedures that are likely to result in the splashing of blood or other body fluids. All health-care workers who perform or assist in vaginal or cesarean deliveries should wear gloves and gowns when handling the placenta or the infant until blood and amniotic fluid have been removed from the infant's skin and should wear gloves during post-delivery care of the umbilical cord. 2. If a glove is torn or a needlestick or other injury occurs, the glove should be removed and a new glove used as promptly as patient safety permits; the needle or instrument involved in the incident should also be removed from the sterile field. Precautions for Dentistry• Blood, saliva, and gingival fluid from all dental patients should be considered infective. Special emphasis should be placed on the following precautions for preventing transmission of blood-borne pathogens in dental practice in both institu- tional and non-institutional settings. 1. In addition to wearing gloves for contact with oral mucous membranes of all patients, all dental workers should wear surgical masks and protective eyewear or chin-length plastic face shields during dental procedures in which splashing or spattering of blood, saliva, or gingival fluids is likely. Rubber dams, high- speed evacuation, and proper patient positioning, when appropriate, should be utilized to minimize generation of droplets and spatter. 2. Handpieces should be sterilized after use with each patient, since blood, saliva, or gingival fluid of patients may be aspirated into the handpiece or waterline. Handpieces that cannot be sterilized should at least be flushed, the outside surface cleaned and wiped with a suitable chemical germicide, and then rinsed. Handpieces should be flushed at the beginning of the day and after use with each patient. Manufacturers' recommendations should be followed for use and maintenance of waterlines and check valves and for flushing of handpieces.The same precautions should be used for ultrasonic scalers and air/water syringes. 3. Blood and saliva should be thoroughly and carefully cleaned from material that has been used in the mouth (e.g., impression materials, bite registration), especially before polishing and grinding intra-oral devices. Contaminated materials, impressions, and intra-oral devices should also be cleaned and disinfected before being handled in the dental laboratory and before they are placed in the patient's mouth. Because of the increasing variety of dental materials used intra-orally, dental workers should consult with manufacturers as to the stability of specific materials when using disinfection procedures. 4. Dental equipment and surfaces that are difficult to disinfect (e.g., light handles or X-ray-unit heads) and that may become contaminated should be wrapped with impervious-backed paper, aluminum foil, or clear plastic wrap. The coverings should be removed and discarded,and clean coverings should be put in place after use with each patient. 'General infection-control precautions are more specifically addressed in previous recommen- dations for infection-control practices for dentistry (8). • 090980 9-28-88 Pubasned by THE BUREAU OF NATIONAL AFFAIRS.INC.,Washington.D.C.20037 23 21.9628 REFERENCE FILE Precautions for Autopsies or Morticians' Services In addition to the universal blood and body-fluid precautions listed above, the following precautions should be used by persons performing pos:mortern l procedures: 1. All persons performing Or assisting in postmortem procedures should wear gloves, masks, protective eyewear, gowns, and waterproof aprons. 2. Instruments and surfaces contaminated during postmortem procedures should be decontaminated with an appropriate chemical germicide. Precautions for Dialysis Patients with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing maintenance dialysis and who have HIV infection can be dialyzed in hospital-based or free-standing dialysis units using conventional infection-control precautions (21 1. Universal blood and body-fluid precautions should be used when dialyzing all patients. Strategies for disinfecting the dialysis fluid pathways of the hemodialysis machine are targeted to control bacterial contamination and generally consist of using 500-750 parts per million (ppm) of sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) for 30-40 minutes or 1.5%-2.0% formaldehyde overnight. In addition, several chemical germicides formulated to disinfect dialysis machines are commercially available. None of these protocols or procedures need ro be changed for dialyzing patients infected with HIV. Patients infected with HIV can be dialyzed by either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis and do not need to be isolated from other patients. The type of dialysis treatment (i.e.. hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) should be based on the needs of the patient. The dialyzer may be discarded after each use. Alternatively, centers that reuse dialyzers—i.e., a specific single-use dialyzer is issued to a specific patient. removed, cleaned, disinfected, and reused several times on the same patient only— . may include HIV-infected patients in the dialyzer-reuse program. An individual dialyzer must never be used on more than one patient. Precautions for Laboratories* Blood and other body fluids from all patients should be considered infective. To supplement the universal blood and body-fluid precautions listed above, the follow- ing precautions are recommended for health-care workers in clinical laboratories. 1. All specimens of blood and body fluids should be put in a well-constructed container with a secure lid to prevent leaking during transport. Care should be taken when collecting each specimen to avoid contaminating the outside of the container and of the laboratory form accompanying the specimen. 2. All persons processing blood and body-fluid specimens (e.g., removing tops from vacuum tubes) should wear gloves. Masks and protective eyewear should be worn if mucous-membrane contact with blood or body fluids is anticipated. Gloves should be changed and hands washed after completion of specimen processing. 3. For routine procedures, such as histologic and pathologic studies or microbio- logic culturing, a biological safety cabinet is not necessary. However, biological safety cabinets (Class I or II) should be used whenever procedures are con- ducted that have a high potential for generating droplets. These include activities such as blending, sonicating, and vigorous mixing. 4. Mechanical pipetting devices should be used for manipulating all liquids in the laboratory. Mouth pipetting must not be done. 'Additional precautions for research and industrial laboratories are addressed elsewhere (22.231. 8909e® Occupational Safety&Hearin Reponer 24 5-232 OSHA STANDARD D:R[CT [: 21:9629 5 Use of nrenles and syringes should he limited to situations in which there is no alter n,tiv,:, and the recommendations for preventing injuries with needles . outlined wider universal precaution:, should be followed. 6. Laboratory work surfaces should be decontaminated with an appropriate chemical vermicide after a spill of blood or other body fluids and when work activities are completed. 7. Contaminated materials used in laboratory tests should be decontaminated before reprocessing or be placed in bags and disposed of in accordance with institutional policies for disposal of infective waste (241. 8. Scientific equipment that has been contaminated with blood or other body fluids should be decontaminated and cleaned before being repaired in the laboratory or transported to the manufacturer. 9. All persons should wash their hands after completing laboratory activities and should remove protective clothing before leaving the laboratory. Implementation of universal blood and body-fluid precautions for all patients eliminates the need for warning labels on specimens since blood and other body fluids from all patients should be considered infective. t Environmental Considerations for HIV Transmission No environmentally mediated mode of HIV transmission has been documented. Nevertheless, the precautions described below should be taken routinely in the care of all patients. Sterilization and Disinfection Standard sterilization and disinfection procedures for patient-care equipment currently recommended for use (25.26) in a variety of health-care settings—including hospitals, medical and dental clinics and offices, hemodialysis centers, emergency- ` care facilities, and long-term nursing-care facilities—are adequate to sterilize or l disinfect instruments, devices, or other items contaminated with blood or other body fluids from persons infected with blood-borne pathogens including HIV (27,23). Instruments or devices that enter sterile tissue or the vascular system of any patient or through which blood flows should be sterilized before reuse. Devices or items that contact intact mucous membranes should be sterilized or receive high- ' level disinfection, a procedure that kills vegetative organisms and viruses but not necessarily large numbers of bacterial spores. Chemical germicides that are regis- tered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as 'sterilants' may be used either for sterilization or for high-level disinfection depending on contact time. Contact lenses used in trial fittings should be disinfected after each fining by using a hydrogen peroxide contact lens disinfecting system or, if compatible, with heat (78 C-80 C (172.4 F-176.0 FI) for 10 minutes. Medical devices or instruments that require sterilization or disinfection should be thoroughly cleaned before being exposed to the germicide, and the manufacturer's instructions for the use of the germicide should be followed. Further, it is important that the manufacturer's specifications for compatibility of the medical device with chemical germicides be closely followed. Information on specific label claims of commercial germicides can be obtained by writing to the Disinfectants Branch, Office of Pesticides, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW, Washington, D.C. 20460. Studies have shown that HIV is inactivated rapidly after being exposed to commonly used chemical germicides at concentrations that are much lower than asosso 9-28-88 PuDI,shec Oy THE BUREAU OF NATIONAL AFFAIRS.INC..Washington.D.C.20037 25 21.9630 REFERENCE FILE ur.irt in practice (27-30). Embalming fluids arc similar to the types of chemical glirrnic,Ir•; 'hat have been tested and found to completely inactivate HIV. In addition to commercially available chemical germicides, a solution of sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) prepared daily is an inexpensive and effective germicide. Con- centrations ranging from approximately 500 ppm (1:100 dilution of household bleach) sodium hypochlorite to 5,000 ppm (1:10 dilution of household bleach) are effective depending on the amount of organic material (e.g.. blood, mucus) present on the surface to be cleaned and disinfected. Commercially available chemical germicides may be more compatible with certain medical devices that might be corroded by repeated exposure to sodium hypochlorite, especially to the 1:10 dilution. Survival of HIV in the Environment The most extensive study on the survival of HIV after drying involved greatly concentrated HIV samples. i.e.. 10 million tissue-culture infectious doses per milliliter (37 ). This concentration is at least 100,000 times greater than that typically found in the blood or serum of patients with HIV infection. HIV was detectable by tissue-culture techniques 1.3 days after drying, but the rate of inactivation was rapid. Studies performed at CDC have also shown that drying HIV causes a rapid (within several hours) 1-2 log (90%-99%) reduction in HIV concentration. In tissue-culture fluid,cell-free HIV could be detected up to 15 days at room temperature,up to 11 days at 37 C (98.5 F), and up to 1 day if the HIV was cell-associated. When considered in the context of environmental conditions in health-care facilities, these results do not require any changes in currently recommended sterilization, disinfection, or housekeeping strategies. When medical devices are contaminated with blood or other body fluids, existing recommendations include the cleaning of these instruments, followed by disinfection or sterilization, depending on the type of medical device. These protocols assume 'worst-case conditions of extreme virologic and microbiologic contamination, and whether viruses have been inactivated after drying plays no role in formulating these strategies. Consequently, no changes in published procedures for cleaning. disinfecting, or sterilizing need to l . be made. Housekeeping Environmental surfaces such as walls,floors,and other surfaces are not associated with transmission of infections to patients or health-care workers. Therefore, extra- ordinary attempts to disinfect or sterilize these environmental surfaces are not necessary. However, cleaning and removal of soil should be done routinely. Cleaning schedules and methods vary according to the area of the hospital or institution, type of surface to be cleaned, and the amount and type of soil present. Horizontal surfaces (e.g., bedside tables and hard-surfaced flooring) in patient-care areas are usually cleaned on a regular basis, when soiling or spills occur, and when a patient is discharged. Cleaning of walls, blinds, and curtains is recommended only if they are visibly soiled. Disinfectant fogging is an unsatisfactory method of decontaminating air and surfaces and is not recommended. Disinfectant-detergent formulations registered by EPA can be used for cleaning environmental surfaces, but the actual physical removal of microorganisms by scrubbing is prooably at least as important as any antimicrobial effect of the cleaning agent used. Th,-refore, cost, safety, and acceptability by housekeepers can be the main criteria for selecting any such registered agent.The manufacturers' instructions for appropriate use should be followed. 330980 (. Occupational Safety d Health Reporter 26 OSHA STANDARD DtFEC T IVES 21:9631 Cleaning and Decontaminating Spills of Blood or Other Body Fluids Chemical germicides ;hat are approved for use as "hospital disinfectants- and are tuberculocidal when used at recommended dilutions can be used to decontaminate spills of blood and other body fluids. Strategies for decontaminating spills of blood and other body fluids in a patient-care setting are different than for spills of cultures or other materials in clinical, public health, or research laboratories. In patient-care areas, visible material should first be removed and then the area should be decontaminated. With large spills of cultured or concentrated infectious agents in the laboratory, the contaminated area should be flooded with a liquid germicide before cleaning, then decontaminated with fresh germicidal chemical. In both settings. gloves should be worn during the cleaning and decontaminating procedures. Laundry Although soiled linen has been identified as a source of large numbers of certain pathogenic microorganisms, the risk of actual disease transmission is negligible. Rather than rigid procedures and specifications, hygienic and common-sense storage and processing of clean and soiled linen are recommended (26). Soiled linen should be handled as little as possible and with minimum agitation to prevent gross microbial contamination of the air and of persons handling the linen. All soiled linen should be bagged at the location where it was used; it should not be sorted or rinsed in patient-care areas. Linen soiled with blood or body fluids should be placed and transported in bags that prevent leakage. If hot water is used,linen should be washed with detergent in water at least 71 C (160 F)for 25 minutes. If low-temperature(s70 C (158 Fj) laundry cycles are used, chemicals suitable for low-temperature washing at proper use concentration should be used. Infective Waste There is no epidemielogic evidence to suggest that most hospital waste is any more infective than residential waste. Moreover, there is no epidemiologic evidence that hospital waste has caused disease in the community as a result of improper disposal.Therefore, identifying wastes for which special precautions are indicated is largely a matter of judgment about the relative risk of disease transmission.The most practical approach to the management of infective waste is to identify those wastes with the potential for causing infection during handling and disposal and for which some special precautions appear prudent. Hospital wastes for which special precau- tions appear prudent include microbiology laboratory waste, pathology waste, and blood specimens or blood products.While any item that has had contact with blood, exudates, or secretions may be potentially infective, it is not usually considered practical or necessary to treat all such waste as infective (23,26). Infective waste, in general, should either be incinerated or should be autoclaved before disposal in a sanitary landfill. Bulk blood, suctioned fluids, excretions, and secretions may be carefully poured down a drain connected to a sanitary sewer. Sanitary sewers may also be used to dispose of other infectious wastes capable of being ground and flushed into the sewer. Implementation of Recommended Precautions Employers of health-care workers should ensure that policies exist for: 1. Initial orientation and continuing education and training of all health-care workers—including students and trainees—on the epidemiology, modes of transmission, and prevention of HIV and other blood-borne infections and the need for routine use of universal blood and body-fluid precautions for all patients. 2. Provision of equipment and supplies necessary to minimize the risk of infection with HIV and other blood-borne pathogens. 890980 9-28-68 Puoilshed oy THE BUREAU OF NATICNAL AFFAIRS-INC.,Wasnington.D.C.20037 27 • `1,963` REFERENCE FILE 3. Monitoring adherence to recommended protective measures.When monitoring reveals a failure to follow recommenced precautions, counseling, education, andior re-training should be provided, and, if necessary, appropriate discipli- nary action should be considered. \• Professional associations and labor organizations, through continuing education efforts, should emphasize the need for health-care workers to follow recommended precautions. Serologic Testing for HIV Infection Background A person is identified as infected with HIV when a sequence of tests, starting with repeated enzyme immunoassays (EIA) and including a Western blot or similar, more specific assay, are repeatedly reactive. Persons infected with HIV usually develop antibody against the virus within 6-12 weeks after infection. The sensitivity of the currently licensed EIA tests is at least 99% when they are performed under optimal laboratory conditions on serum specimens from persons infected for 12 weeks. Optimal laboratory conditions include the use of reliable reagents, provision of continuing education of personnel, quality control of proce- dures, and participation in performance-evaluation programs. Given this perform- ' ance, the probability of a false-negative test is remote except during the first several weeks after infection, before detectable antibody is present. The proportion of infected persons with a false-negative test attributed to absence of antibody in the early stages of infection is dependent on both the incidence and prevalence of HIV infection in a population (Table 1). The specificity of the currently licensed EIA tests is approximately 99% when repeatedly reactive tests are considered.Repeat testing of initially reactive specimens by EIA is required to reduce the likelihood of laboratory error. To increase further the specificity of serologic tests, laboratories must use a supplemental test, most often the Western blot,to validate repeatedly reactive EIA results.Under optimal laboratory conditions, the sensitivity of the Western blot test is comparable to or greater than that of a repeatedly reactive EIA, and the Western blot is highly specific when strict criteria are used to interpret the test results. The testing sequence of a repeatedly reactive EIA and a positive Western blot test is highly predictive of HIV infection, even in a population with a low prevalence of infection (Table 2). If the Western blot test result is indeterminant,the testing sequence is considered equivocal for HIV infection. TABLE 1.

Use of other supplemental tests may aid in interpreting of results on samples that are persistently indeterminant by Western blot. Testing of Patients Previous CDC recommendations have emphasized the value of HIV serologic testing of patients for: 1) management of parenteral or mucous-membrane exposures of health-care workers, 2) patient diagnosis and management, and 3) counseling and serologic testing to prevent and control HIV transmission in the community. In addition, more recent recommendations have stated that hospitals, in conjunction with state and local health departments,should periodically determine the prevalence of HIV infection among patients from age groups at highest risk of infection (32). Adherence to universal blood and body-fluid precautions recommended for the care of all patients will minimize the risk of transmission of HIV and other blood-borne pathogens from patients to health-care workers. The utility of routine HIV serologic testing of patients as an adjunct to universal precautions is unknown. Results of such testing may not be available in emergency or outpatient settings. In addition, some recently infected patients will not have detectable antibody to HIV (Table 1). Personnel in some hospitals have advocated serologic testing of patients in settings in which exposure of health-care workers to large amounts of patients' blood may be anticipated. Specific patients for whom serologic testing has been advocated include those undergoing major operative procedures and those undergoing treat- ment in critical-care units, especially if they have conditions involving uncontrolled bleeding. Decisions regarding the need to establish testing programs for patients should be made by physicians or individual institutions. In addition, when deemed appropriate, testing of individual patients may be performed on agreement between the patient and the physician providing care. In addition to the universal precautions recommended for all patients, certain additional precautions for the care of HIV-infected'patients undergoing major surgical operations have been proposed by personnel in some hospitals. For example, surgical procedures on an HIV-infected patient might be altered so that hand-to-hand passing of sharp instruments would be eliminated; stapling instruments rather than TABLE 2.

While such modifications might further minimize the risk of HIV infection for members of the operative team, some of these techniques could result in prolongation of operative time and could potentially have an adverse effect on the patient. Testing programs, if developed, should include the following principles: • Obtaining consent for testing. • Informing patients of test results, and providing counseling for seropositive patients by properly trained persons. • Assuring that confidentiality safeguards are in place to limit knowledge of test results to those directly involved in the care of infected patients or as required by law. • Assuring that identification of infected patients will not result in denial of needed care or provision of suboptimal care. • Evaluating prospectively 1) the efficacy of the program in reducing the inci- dence of parenteral, mucous-membrane, or significant cutaneous exposures of health-care workers to the blood or other body fluids of HIV-infected patients and 2) the effect of modified procedures on patients. Testing of Health-Care Workers Although transmission of HIV from infected health-care workers to patients has not been reported,transmission during invasive procedures remains a possibility. Trans- mission of hepatitis 8 virus (H8V)—a blood-borne agent with a considerably greater potential for nosocomial spread—from health-care workers to patients has been documented.Such transmission has occurred in situations(e.g.,oral and gynecologic surgery) in which health-care workers, when tested, had very high concentrations of HEW in their blood (at least 100 million infectious virus particles per milliliter, a concentration much higher than occurs with HIV infection), and the health-care workers sustained a puncture wound while performing invasive procedures or had exudative or weeping lesions or microlacerations that allowed virus to contaminate instruments or open wounds of patients (33,34). The hepatitis B experience indicates that only those health-care workers who perform certain types of invasive procedures have transmitted HBV to patients. Adherence to recommendations in this document will minimize the risk of transmis- sion of HIV and other blood-borne pathogens from health-care workers to patients during invasive procedures. Since transmission of HIV from infected health-care workers performing invasive procedures to their patients has not been reported and would be expected to occur only very rarely, if at all, the utility of routine testing of such health-care workers to prevent transmission of HIV cannot be assessed. If consideration is given to developing a serologic testing program for health-care workers who perform invasive procedures, the frequency of testing, as well as the issues of consent, confidentiality, and consequences of test results—as previously outlined for testing programs for patients—must be addressed. Management of Infected Health-Car; Workers Health-care workers with impaired immune systems resulting from HIV infection or other causes are at increased risk of acquiring or experiencing serious complica- tions of infectious disease. Of particular concern is the risk of severe infection following exposure to patients with infectious diseases that are easily transmitted if appropriate precautions are not taken (e.g., measles, varicella). Any health-care 89336.. . Occupational Safety& Health Reponer 30 5-225 OSHA STANDAPC UF;GCTIVES 21.9625 worker with an impaired immune system should be counseled about the potential risk associated with taking care of patients with any transmissible infection and should continue to follow existing recommendations for infection control to minimize risk of exposure to other infectious agents (7,35 ). Recommendations of the Immunization Practices Advisory Committee (ACIP) and institutional policies concerning require- ments for vaccinating health-care workers w;th live-virus vaccines (e.g.. measles, rubella) should also be considered. The question of whether workers infected with HIV—especially those who perform invasive procedures—can adequately and safely be allowed to perform patient-care duties or whether their work assignments should be changed must be determined on • an individual basis. These decisions should be made by the health-care worker's personal physician(s) in conjunction with the medical directors and personnel health service staff of the employing institution or hospital. • Management of Exposures If a health-care worker has a parenteral (e.g., needlestick or cut) or mucous- membrane (e.g., splash to the eye or mouth) exposure to blood or other body fluids or has a cutaneous exposure involving large amounts of blood or prolonged contact with blood—especially when the exposed skin is chapped, abraded, or afflicted with dermatitis—the source patient should be informed of the incident and tested for serologic evidence of HIV infection after consent is obtained. Policies should be developed for testing source patients in situ. :ions in which consent cannot be obtained (e.g.. an unconscious patient). If the source patient has AIDS, is positive for HIV antibody, or refuses the test, the health-care worker should be counseled regarding the risk of infection and evaluated clinically and serolooically for evidence of HIV infection as soon as possible after the exposure. The health-care worker should be advised to report and seek medical ( evaluation for any acute febrile illness that occurs within 12 weeks after the exposure. l Such an illness—particularly one characterized by fever, rash,or lymphadenopathy— may be inoicative of recent HIV infection. Seronegative health-care workers should be retested 6 weeks post-exposure and on a periodic basis thereafter(e.g., 12 weeks and 6 months after exposure) to determine whether transmission has occurred. During this follow-up period—especially the first 6-12 weeks after exposure, when most infected persons are expected to seroconvert—exposed health-care workers should follow U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) recommendations for preventing transmis- sion of HIV (36.37). No further follow-up of a health-care worker exposed to infection as described above is necessary if the source patient is seronegative unless the source patient is at high risk of HIV infection. In the latter case, a subsequent specimen (e.g., 12 weeks following exposure) may be obtained from the health-care worker for antibody testing. If the source patient cannot be identified, decisions regarding appropriate follow-up should be individualized. Serologic testing should be available to all health-care workers who are concerned that they may have been infected with HIV. If a patient has a parenteral or mucous-membrane exposure to blood or other body fluid of a health-care worker, the patient should be informed of the incident, and the same procedure outlined above for management of exposures should be followed for both the source health-care worker and the exposed patient.

THIS ADDEDUM IS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH INSTRUCTIONS OF THE COLORADO STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT SOLID WASTE DIVISION. THE SECTION NUMBERS REFER TO SECTION 10.2.1 OF THE PROPOSED REGULATIONS FOR SOLID WASTE INCINERATION FACILITIES. AT THE TIME OF FILING THE C.D. APPLICATION THESE REGULATIONS HAD NOT Y T BEEN ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF HEALTH. IT IS WIXCO'S AND I P.R.C. 'S INTENT TO MEET ALL PRESENT AND FUTURE REGULATORY QUIREMENTS CONCERNING THE OPERATION OF THE FACILITY. 10. 2 . 2 1-8) All items are covered on the topographic map which is included. 9) All bio-medical waste will be stored in sealed, leak- resistant boxes. The boxes will be unloaded onto pallets at the incinerator to keep the material off the floor. All boxes will be stored indoors after pickup from the hospital. The primary (pages 11a) storage and unloading area is presented in Figure 3 of the main CD submission. 10) The building in which the incinerator will be housed is 45 ' x 55 ' x 18 ' (eveheight) . The building is located as described in the main portion of the CD submission. 11) At the present time only internal computer monitored scales will be used internally to weigh the collected materials. 12) The only utilities which will be installed on site will be the replacement of a 220 volt power line feed with a 440V feed line. b) Since the building and almost all of the utilities are in place, no construction plans are envisioned. 10.2 . 3 a) As described in Section 2 . 1 of the CD, the estimated BTU values will vary from 7, 500 to 13 , 000. The ash will have no residual BTU value. b) See Figure 1 of the Addendum. c) Please see Section 3 . 3 of the CD. At this time, no bulky noncombustible material will be picked up or stored. d) Please see Figure 3 in the CD. 10.2 . 3 b. Temperature Monitors and interlock Air Water Waste Incinerator Off Gas Scrubber Propane Ash Thickener Sludge CaO Stack Baghouse Co Dust Combined with ash O2 Monitors L3O::13 e. The information requested as to the size, type, capacity, and general specifications, including the air emission control, and process monitoring system are included in Appendix A, Air Quality Permit and Application of the CD Application. f. International Process Research Corporation maintains a complete fabrication and maintenance shop facility for all of its process equipment. This facility will be used to repair, refine and maintain all the equipment for the incinerator operation. Spare parts for all critical areas of the operation will be maintained on site. g. At the present time, INTERPRO will not recover the excess energy from the system. We may, after the appropriate research is conducted, recover the metal sharps from the ash. h. (1) The incinerator is a 3 ' inside diameter by 33 feet long, refractory lined rotary kiln. The kiln was fabricated by the Colorado School of Mines Research Institute and has been operated for 20 years on R&D projects for the mineral, chemical and environmental industries. (2) The incinerator is composed of a steel shell lined with 6" of castable alumina refractory. (3) The system will use programs as an auxiliary fuel for the combustion and temperature control. The auxiliary fuel system description is provided in Appendix A (Air Quality Permit in the CD Appliction. ) (4) The fuel charging system can specially handle a 6. 6 cu ft box every 30 seconds. All biomedical waste fed to the system will be in closed sealed leak-resistant boxes. (5) The rotary kiln will be set up so that the feed interlock system will not operate unless the temperature in the system ( 1400°F is the combustion zone and 1800F is at the discharge end) is set. The system will also monitor Co and O2 levels in the off-gas stream. (6) The design and operating requirement requested are presented in the Air Quality Permit granted by the Colorado Department of Health and are included in CAR a::)`. Appendix A and B of INTERPRO's Air Quality Application. (7) The expected overall ash chemical composition is not yet known and will change as regulations change. However, an EP Toxicity test performed by the BFI Medical Waste Laboratory in Houston concluded that the material will pass a standard EP Toxicity test. These results are present in Table 1 of the Addendum. The ash produced by INTERPRO kiln will be dry (with sufficient water only to suppress dust, if necessary) . We estimate that the ash will weigh approximately 60 pounds per cubic foot and have a partial size distribution from 1/4 in. to 25 microns. At the present time INTERPRO estimates that from the 750 pounds per hour of biomedical waste incinerator that 50 to 75 pounds of ash will be generated.

All wash water, scrubber residue and sludge will be recycled through the incinerator and disposed of in the ash. The ash will be disposed of as described in Section 2 . 5.2 , Page 11 of the CD Application. K. As described in the main CD Application, Wixco has reciprocal Disposal Agreements with several other incinerators. In addition, a complete maintenance and fabrication inhouse facility will be available for repairing and maintaining the incinerator. A complete set of critical spare parts will be kept to facilitate any unforeseen mechanical problems. Since the kiln scrubber and baghour have been in operation before as a system, limited maintenance and downtime problem are foreseen. L. The majority of the utilities to be used at the site have already been installed. We envision a 440 volt electric power line installed will be the only major installation requirement. m) As described in Section 3 . 5 of the CD Application. n) As described in Section 3 .8 of the CD Application. 10. 2 . 4 Facility Operating Plan: a) As described in 3 . 0 of CD Application. b) As described in Section 3 . 0 of the CD Application. c) As described in Section 3 . 0 of the CD Application. d) As described in Section 3 . 4 and 3 .5 of CD Application. e) As described in Section 34 . 5 of the CD Application. f) INTERPRO plans to hire or transfer 8 operators to the facility in Weld County at full capacity. The operation will be under the supervision of an INTERPRO Engineer. Job descriptions for the operators are presented in Appendix 1 of the Addendum. g) Hiring of operators will be conducted in the Weld County are through newspaper advertisement and employment agencies. Training will take place on site and at our facilities in Golden. Every new employee will have 24 hours of classroom and hands-on training prior to actual operation. After the classroom training each helper will review not less W than 80 hours on training by an operator prior to operations. A training manual for the INTERPRO technicians is presented in Attachment B. H. As presented in Section 3 . 5 of the original CD Application. I. All design drawings, facility records, incinerator records, maintenance records, etc. , will be kept on site. A duplicate set of all data will be kept at our facility in Golden, Colorado. J.

This letter is part of the application and should be construed in accordance therewith . This application is to amend USR-842 to include an additional approved use and to include an additional Certificate of Designation. Existing USR-842 and Certificate of Designation are for a tire solid waste disposal site and this application is to amend that use by adding a biomedical waste incinerator use. The incinerator does require a Certificate of Designation and the application for a Certificate of Designation has already been submitted to the Colorado Department of Health . It should be noted that this application does not propose any change or modification to the tire disposal use. This application is presented on behalf of Jarrald and Faye Jamison ( owners of the property ) and Wixco Services , Inc . , a Colorado corporation . The Certificate of Designation application is presented solely in the name of Wixco as Wixco will be conducting the actual operations . The Use by Special Review application is submitted on behalf of both Wixco and Jamison as the facility is utilizing property owned by Jamison and specifically, within a building presently on site and owned by Jamison . The proposed use of the property will be by Wixco Services , Inc . by utilizing an existing maintenance building located at 890980 Department of Planning Service March 9 , 1989 Page 2 12311 WCR 41 , Hudson , Colorado for the incineration of collected biomedical waste. Proposed Use . The waste material will be collected in sealed , lined , puncture and leak resistant heavy cardboard containers . All containers will be transported to the site in enclosed , locked trucks . All drivers are D . 0 . T trained , to include emergency response procedures. The containers will be incinerated at a minimum temperature of 1800° F. in a rotary kiln . The kiln is equipped with safety interlocks to prevent charging of waste until the appropriate temperature is obtained . The kiln is fully equipped with pollution control devices and presently holds Colorado Air Emissions Permit No. 88JE161 . 'The permit requires that visible emissions are not to exceed 20% capacity and particulate emissions shall not exceed 0 . 10 grains per dry standard cubic foot corrected at 12% carbon dioxide (CO2) . Water from the wet scrubber will be recycled through the kiln , thereby eliminating any water discharge . Initially residual ash , following compliance with E . P . A . toxicity standards , will be disposed of in an approved local landfill . It is anticipated that eventually such ash will be used in cement processing , thereby negating the need for landfilling. All collected containers will be stored , for a limited time prior to incineration , inside the building . Appropriate vermin control measures will be followed. The building will be secured at all times to prevent unauthorized access. The kiln will initially be fueled by propane gas . Wixco intends to research the feasibility of utilizing discarded tires as a supplementary fuel source , thereby reducing the number of tires stored at the proposed site . This use would only occur following proper authorization and resolution of any technical concerns over the feasibility of such a project . The possible installation of a heat recovery system, with recovered heat used for beneficial purpose , will be explored . Wixco is willing to make the kiln available , on a no charge basis , to Weld County authorities for the destruction of contraband materials . The proposed use will be conducted in a safe and environmentally sound manner , while providing a much needed alternative to present biomedical waste disposal practices , and creating employment opportunities for Weld County residents. 890980 Department of Planning Service March 9 , 1989 Page 3 Need for Use . There has recently been increased recognition among the Colorado healthcare community for the need for a comprehensive service for the proper and safe collection , tracking , and incineration of medical and biological wastes . This recognition and demand has been precipitated by a number of factors , among which are the concerns for staff safety and potential environmental impact . The relatively recent development and implementation of guidelines and procedures designed to protect medical personnel from exposure to pathogens transmitted by blood and body fluids have increased both the amount of medical waste designated as " infectious" , as well as the demand for proper disposal service . National reports of untreated medical waste appearing in public areas have increased the demand for incineration of such waste , to both ensure the proper destruction of the material as well as to reduce the volume of the residual product . There is also a growing recognition by healthcare facilities that sterilization of infectious waste and subsequent landfill disposal is both costly and environmentally unsound . The diminishing capacity of existing landfills , the opposition of new sites , and problems with differentiating sterilized medical waste from untreated waste is making landfill disposal increasingly unattractive to the medical community and to the public . It is estimated that general hospitals generate an average of three ( 3 ) to six ( 6 ) pounds of infectious waste per day for each occupied bed . An unknown amount of medical waste is generated from outpatient treatment at hospitals . The amount of similar materials from medical and dental clinics , private physician offices , nursing homes and veterinarian activities is also unknown , but they are considered to be a significant market segment. The present disposal methods for infectious waste range from the on-site incineration by large facilities to the direct disposal of untreated medical waste in the routine waste stream. The willingness and ability of health facilities to provide on-site incineration is decreasing as the amount of infectious waste increases . The factors affecting this issue include the cost of operating on-site incinerators , staffing requirements , safety concerns , and the lack of pollution control equipment on older incinerators . The cost of new incinerators in tight budgetary times are disincentives for hospitals to install new services , and prohibitory for nonhospital based facilities. 590980 Department of Planning Service March 9 , 1989 Page 4 Neither Northeast Colorado nor Weld County presently have , or anticipate to have in the near future , adequate facilities for the proper incineration of the growing amount of bio-medical waste . Wixco Services , Inc . , a Colorado owned and based corporation has responded to this need by the development of a comprehensive and economical program to collect and incinerate such waste materials . Wixco has an exclusive lease agreement on a rotary kiln incinerator , presently located in Golden and permitted by the State Health Department for the incineration of medical waste. It is Wixco ' s desire to relocate the incinerator and its operation to the Tire Mountain , Inc . , site in Weld County. The Weld County site was selected due to a number of favorable factors . The site offers adequate traffic access for the operation . The surrounding area is of a rural nature with a dispersed population. The nature of the surrounding land is such that it is unlikely that development would be of the type which would be incompatible with the facilities operation . The property is zoned as I-3 ( Industrial ) which is appropriate for the nature of the proposed operation . There is an existing building on the site suitable for the indoor operation of the kiln and and storage requirements . Appropriate utilities are located near the facility . Additionally, the present operation on the 80 acre site is quite compatible with Wixco ' s intended use . Uses on Surrounding Properties. Surrounding properties are presently zoned agricultural and industrial . The agricultural uses consist of grazing and dryland farming and, additionally, a turkey hatchery is located in the Northwest Quarter ( NW* ) of Section Thirty two ( 32 ) which is very close to the subject property. Industrial uses are the Hudson Auto Salvage located in Section Thirty two ( 32 ) and the Tire Mountain operations which consist of a solid waste disposal site for tires and possible scrap tire recycling operations . The industrial uses are zoned heavy industrial (I-3) and thus this proposed use is compatible with all existing surrounding uses . The Town of Hudson is located 8i miles South ; the Town of Platteville is located 10} miles Northwest of the site and the area between the two towns is zoned agriculture with some special uses . Distance to Existing Residential Structures . At present there are two houses situated on the property . A third home is contemplated and has been approved. The houses are used for the on-site maintenance and operating personnel . One other house , 690980 Department of Planning Service March 9 , 1989 Page 5 situated in Section 32 associated with Hudson Auto Salvage , is located } mile North of the site on Weld County Road 28 . Four houses are located 1 mile east on Weld County Road 43 , and 1 house is located } mile South on Weld County Road 41 . For locations see "Vicinity Map" . Maximum Number of Users . Initially , Wixco will utilize only one half of the shop building , the other half will be used by Tire Mountain . It is contemplated , however, that Wixco will need the use of the entire building in the future . Only employees and operational people for Wixco will actually use the facility so there are technically, no outside "users" . Number of Employees , Shifts and Hours. At the commencement of operations two incinerator operators and two truck drivers will be employed for initial operations . Initial operation will consist of 2 eight hour shifts , 3 days per week with operations commencing at 6 : 00 a .m. and finishing at 10: 00 p.m. When full operations begin there will be two incinerator operators and two truck drivers operating 3 eight hour shifts 6 days per week . It is contemplated that full operations will take place 24 hours per day 6 days per week . Thus , the maximum number of employees during full operations will be twelve on a 24 hour basis . All waste delivery will take place during daylight hours , Monday through Saturday only between the hours of 6 : 00 a . m . and 4 : 00 p .m . during summer months . For winter months , the delivery times will be adjusted in accordance with daytime hours so that all deliveries will take place during daylight . Type of Water Source . The subject property has an on-site domestic commercial well which will be used for consumption and sanitary purposes . This water use by the applicant will be for employee shower and toilet facilities. The operation itself does not use water except part of the pollution control equipment , the wet scrubber , will use 20 gallons per week . The existing well produces 15 gallons per minute which is more than adequate for all domestic uses. Access Route (s) . For traffic that originates to the South , that traffic can travel either Interstate 76 to Hudson , then across State Highway 52 to Weld County Road 41 , then North on Weld County Road 40 to the site ; or U . S . Highway 85 to Fort Lupton , then East on State Highway 52 to Weld County Road 41 , 830980 Department of Planning Service March 9 , 1989 Page 6 then South on Weld County Road 41 to the site . For traffic originating to the North and West , it is contemplated that traffic will use U.S. 85 , Highway 52 and County Road 41 . Type , Size , Weight and Frequency of Vehicular Traffic. The types of vehicular traffic are : ( 1 ) closed delivery trucks , 24 foot long , GVW 29 , 000 pounds , payload 7 , 000 pounds ; or ( 2 ) trailer van and tractor , 44 foot trailer , GVW 15 , 000 pounds , payload 14, 000 pounds. Frequency of vehicular traffic (average) : trailer van , two per day, six days per week maximum; delivery truck , five per day , six days per week maximum. Type of Sewage Facilities . The incinerator requires no sewage facility. The employee shower and housekeeping activities will use the existing septic system that now serves the proposed incinerator building. It has adequate capacity for the intended use . In the event that existing septic tank and leach line system is not adequate to handle the additional employees , Wixco has agreed with the owners of the property to install another septic tank and leach bed . Fire Protection Measures . The kiln is entirely enclosed with no outside flame availability . Self-activating chemical fire extinguishers , in appropriate size and types , will be installed in the operations area . Manual chemical fire extinguishers will be present . All safety measures as mandated by N. F . P . A . and Platteville Fire Protection District will be instituted and followed . Types and Maximum Number of Animals . No animals other than guard dogs are contemplated for the site. Type and Size of Waste , Stockpile , or Storage Areas . Temporary storage for closed containers before incineration will be stored inside the building . Outside access to the building will be locked when operations are not taking place . All ash will be placed in closed disposal units for storage inside the building until hauled to existing local landfills for sanitary disposal . Type of Storm Water Retention Facilities . As no outside improvements will be constructed , no facilities will be required , other than those associated with USR-842. 890980 Department of Planning Service March 9 , 1989 Page 7 Time Schedule and Method of Removal and Disposal of Debris , Junk and Other Wastes . The only waste associated with facility ' s operation will be the residual ash . Such material will be removed when the enclosed containing unit is full and has cooled to acceptable temperature , which is approximately two days . After placing the materials in the containers the containers will be disposed of in approved local landfills . Landscaping Plans and Erosion Control Measures . None, as all operations take place inside . Reclamation . It is anticipated that the use activity would continue on a long term basis . In the event that the activity ceases , reclamation procedures would involve only the building. Wixco would cease collecting waste prior to closing down the incinerator . This would permit the complete incineration of collected materials , and removal of the residual ash prior to closing down operations . The kiln would be removed from the building and transported away from the site to the new location / owner . The building would then be cleaned with appropriate solutions , and opened for inspection by regulatory authorities . In the unlikely event that the incinerator becomes unrepairable and it is deemed not feasible to replace it , waste collection would cease and any collected waste would be transported to other incinerator facilities with which contracts are in effect . Time Required for Construction and Start-up. As no major construction is required for the intended use , start-up would be expected to occur within one ( 1 ) month after approval of the use by Special Review application . Weld County Comprehensive Plan and Zone District . This application is compatible with the existing Weld County Comprehensive Plan and the intent of the I-3 zone . The I-3 ( Industrial ) zoning contemplates heavy industrial use or uses that are not desirable in other areas . Waste incineration is such a use and is a perfect use for I-3 zoning . The plan is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan as the area is industrial zoned , has other industrial and waste storage uses in the area and there is no contemplated residential growth in the immediate area. 890980 Department of Planning Service March 9 , 1989 Page 8 The property is not located on agricultural zoned land . The adjoining agricultural zoned property will not be used by the applicant . Provisions for the Protection of the Health , Safety and Welfare of the Inhabitants of the Neighborhood and the County . The proposed use will not have any adverse impact on either the environment or inhabitants of the surrounding area . All waste will be transported in sealed containers , inside locked vans , driven by trained and experienced staff. The trucks will arrive at the facility during daytime hours . The containers will be stored for a short duration , two days if a weekend follows delivery , inside the locked facility . This will negate the possibility of inadvertent exposure and vermin control issues . The kiln will burn at a temperature which has been determined to render the residual ash sterile and to destroy any airborne pathogens . The kiln has more than adequate air pollution control equipment to meet all applicable Federal and State regulations . There will be no odors or noise which will be detectable beyond the property boundary . No water discharge from the scrubber system will occur as the water is recycled through the kiln . Only biomedical waste will be incinerated . No hazardous materials will be accepted. Procedures have been established to screen out any such material either by: contractual arrangements ; State approved monitoring devices; and actual inspection of waste material . All staff members will receive appropriate training in hazard recognition , and corrective procedures . Compatible with Existing Surrounding Land Uses . The proposed use is located in an I-3 ( Industrial ) zoned area . The proposed use will interface well with the existing operations at the site. No new construction or road access is required . No permanent changes to the existing terrain is required . There will not be a significant increase in traffic volume at the site . All surrounding uses are industrial being vehicle storage and disassembly and tire land fill along with marginal dryland agricultural operations and grazing . This type of use will not interfere in any way with the existing uses . Future Development . Based upon the ag zoning and industrial zoning of the surrounding land , this type of operation is compatible as it does not interfere with agricultural uses and does not interfere with industrial uses. As the use uses a very small amount of property , it will not interfere with any increased or expanded industrial uses . As the surrounding industrial uses zoned I - 3 for heavy industrial use , this 890980 Department of Planning Service March 9 , 1989 Page 9 operation is perfectly compatible with proposed future development . Due to the isolated area surrounding the property it is not contemplated that there will be increased residential use or future development except other heavy industrial uses . Geological Hazard . There are no surface water facilities such as streams , lakes , or irrigation ditches adjacent to or on the site . The facility is not located in a flood plain nor is it a major contributory to a flood plain . Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) rates this area a minimal flooding area. This facility is located in a remote agricultural setting. It is located 8} miles North of Hudson , which is the nearest town . Geologic conditions are favorable with no geological hazards that might affect this operation . The site is not located in an airport overlay district area. Noise Report . Noise as measured inside the building will be a maximum of 60 decibels , which is less than the 90 decibel limit for an eight-hour period by OSHA. Noise measured 25 feet inside neighboring property , in this case a distance more than 200 feet , cannot exceed 80 decibels from 7: 00 a.m. to 7: 00 p.m. , and 75 decibels from 7 : 00 p . m . to 7 : 00 a .m. Noise levels will not reach these limits . Therefore , we request the report be waived. We would request your review and approval of this application .

Prior to selection of Wixco for our medical waste disposal service, we have reviewed the various options available for disposal of such materials, and determined that incineration is the best method. Wixco was selected due to their knowledge of regulations, tech- nology, and concern for and plans for resolving environmental issues relating to medical waste disposal. Wixco' s professional approach to the service and the fact that they are a Colorado corporation were also factors in our selection process. We are aware that Wixco' s application has generated some oppo- sition by local residents. It appears that everyone wants a resolution to the issue of disposal of medical waste, but do not want that solution to be located near them. It is a reality that all residents of Weld County, as well as of Colorado are responsi- ble for the generation of some medical waste. Disposal resolution should be viewed as a county, as well as a state, issue and a location is needed to service healthcare providers. We believe that Wixco ' s plan offers an environmentally sound and economi- cally feasible resolution to medical waste disposal and we urge that the Wixco facility receive approval .

Especially in light of the current disposal abuse which has come to our nation's attention, it was obvious to us that some safe and acceptable means needed to be used by us in the disposal of such items. After reviewing several options, we made the decision to use the services of Wixco for this purpose since it is our view that incineration is the best method both from the standpoint of public health and environmental concerns. Not only is Wixco able to utilize an incineration process but we were impressed by their knowledge of the applicable regulations as well as the safeguards and precau— tions which they take in the disposal of such materials. Since there is a need to have a licensed incinerator operation in the State of Colorado, we strongly support Wixco' s application to operate a high temper— ature medical waste incinerator near Hudson in Weld County. As a person con— cerned about human health and environmental issues, I can appreciate the cau— tion that some of the residents of the area have, but I feel that their concern is unfounded. The extremely high temeprature of the incineration process will kill any pathological organisms which might be in the waste and the pollution control equipment to be employed by Wixco will protect the air quality. Since all of us, directly or indirectly, share a responsibility for such medical waste, it is essential that we also work together for a safe and effective disposal of such material. I feel that Wixco' s proposal will accomplish this and urge the approval of their Facility.
