"Land based hazardous waste incinerators are stationary point sources which emit pollutants into the
air, land, and water media. Emissions may occur as part of the incineration process, as part of the
scrubber operations, or as fugitive emissions. Uptake of emissions by terrestrial life may occur through
air, water, soil, or via the food web. "„

PEOPLE'S BILL OF RIGHTS Weld to. Planning Commission
•
People in this ci'outry have the right to be safe and secure 'in their homes and work-
places. We have the right to bring up our children and live uur lives free from harm
imposed by toxic substances that have been brought into our communities, neighborhoods,
workplaces, schools and farms by ethers, without our knowledge and without our consent.
We have the right to clean air, clean water, wxc 'mum mina ed food and safe places to live,
nment to e o rbe responsible.YcWewhavet theblt to right togacttionur and otorpublic policy which will il restore and duscry
to us that which has been taken away and to stop the needless and unjustifiable attack
on our lives, families, homes, jobs and future that come from the imposition of toxic sub-
stances in our environment.
• RIGHT TO BE SAFE FROM HARMFUL EXPOSURE. People have the inherent
right to be safe in their homes and workplaces. Our children have the right to grow up
strong and healthy, not diseased, deformed or to die before they've had a chance to live,
to be safe in their schools, free from cancer-cuusing asbestos or other hazards, and to
play in their backyards free from erupting chemical pits or contaminated soils. We have
the right to be free from exposures, imposed on us against our will, to poisonous substances
that can cause birth defects, cancer, sterility, genetic damage, miscarriages and still births.
• RIGHT TO KNOW. We have the right to know what poisons other people, industry,
corporate polluters and government have decided to bring into our neighborhoods and work-
places and the right to know how these chemicals can adversely affect our health, our
environment and exactly what they intend, if anything, to do about It.
• RIGHT TO CLEAN UP. We have the right to safe, total cleanup of hazardous ce y th waste

with chemical poisons.
• RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE. We have the right to participate, as equals, in decisions
affecting our lives, children, homes and jobs un the matter of exposure to hazardous wastes.
We have the right of access, without cost, to information and assistance that will make
our participation meaningful and to have our needs and concerns be the major factor in
all policy decisions.
• RIGHT TO COMPENSATION. We have the right to be compensated for damages
to our health, our homes and our livelihoods. The responsible parties must compensate
us for the cost of cancer treat 'nests, . are of our birth-defected children, the loss of our
farms and jobs, livestock and the burial of our loved ones.
• RIGHT TO PREVENTION. We have the right to public policy that prevents toxic
pollution from entering our neighborhoods by using existing technology beginning with reduc-
tion at the source--a technology that will provide jobs, business opportunities and conserva-
tion of valuable resources. Our workers have the right to salct equipment and other safety
measures to prevent their exposure in the workplace.
• RIGHT TO PROTECTION AND ENFORCEMENT. We have the right to strong
laws controlling toxic wastes anti vigorous enforcement of those laws, not backroom, sweet-
heart deals. If a child dies from exposure to chemical poisons in the environment, someone
must be arrested and prosecuted for manslaughter.

Dear Commissioners:
I am writing this letter as a concerned land owner of Weld County to
exprees my apposition to the granting of a permit to Tire Mountain, Inc.
and WixCo. , Inc. to establish and operate an infectious waste incinerator
at tire mountain on Weld County Road 41.
Even though th planning commission has given its approval to this opera-
tion, there are still doubts in my mind as to the safety of this opera-
tion regarding the health and well being of not only citizens living near
by, but to anyone that might be affected by this operation should conta-
mination get into the food chain.
I urge you to examine every aspect of the proposed project with great
care and if you have any doubt about its safety; which you should; to
closely evaluate the risks involved. Future generations could be in
jeopardy should this be approved!
I hope that you will also take into consideration the fact that waste
can now be classified as a commodity under federal law and thus imports
from wherever can not be stopped as long as the facilities to handle it
are available.

Dear Commissioners:
I am writing this letter as a concerned citizen of Weld County to express my
oposition to the granting of a permit to Tire Mountain, Inc. and WixCo., Inc. to
establish and operate a infectious waste incinerator at tire mountain on Weld
County road 41.
Even though the planning commission has given its approval to this operation,
there are still doubts in my mind as to the safety of this operation regarding the
health and well being of not only citizens living near by, but to anyone that might
be affected by this operation should contamination get into the food chain.
I urge you to examine every aspect of the proposed project with great care and if
you have any doubt about its safety; which you should; to closely evaluate the
risks involved. Future generations could be in jeopardy should this be approved!
I hope that you will also take into consideration the fact that waste can now be
classified as a commodity under federal law and thus imports from where ever
can not be stopped as long as the facilities to handle it are available.

Dear Commissioners:
I am writing this letter as a concerned citizen of Weld County to express my
oposition to the granting of a permit to Tire Mountain, Inc. and WixCo., Inc. to
establish and operate a infectious waste incinerator at tire mountain on Weld
County road 41.
Even though the planning commission has given its approval to this operation,
there are still doubts in my mind as to the safety of this operation regarding the
health and well being of not only citizens living near by, but to anyone that might
be affected by this operation should contamination get into the food chain.
I urge you to examine every aspect of the proposed project with great care and if
you have any doubt about its safety; which you should; to closely evaluate the
risks involved. Future generations could be in jeopardy should this be approved!
I hope that you will also take into consideration the fact that waste can now be
classified as a commodity under federal law and thus imports from where ever
can not be stopped as long as the facilities to handle it are available.

Gentlemen: Re : Wixco Incinerator:
We understand that a new company called Wixco is anticipating
installing an incinerator in our area to burn hospital waste .
Due to all the unknowns ie. not knowing how much dioxins and dibenzo-
p-furan that will be disbursed from this incinerator nor how many
areas this will be shipped in by we are very much against this
said incinerator .
Since you are elected officials of this county we emplore you
to do everything in your power to stop this from poluting our
air .
Sincerely,

Dear Commissioners:
I am writing this letter as a concerned citizen of Weld County to express my
oposition to the granting of a permit to Tire Mountain, Inc. and WixCo., Inc. to
establish and operate a infectious waste incinerator at tire mountain on Weld
County road 41.
Even though the planning commission has given its approval to this operation,
there are still doubts in my mind as to the safety of this operation regarding the
health and well being of not only citizens living near by, but to anyone that might
be affected by this operation should contamination get into the food chain.
I urge you to examine every aspect of the proposed project with great care and if
you have any doubt about its safety; which you should; to closely evaluate the
risks involved. Future generations could be in jeopardy should this be approved!
I hope that you will also take into consideration the fact that waste can now be
classified as a commodity under federal law and thus imports from where ever
can not be stopped as long as the facilities to handle it are available.

Mountain, Inc. (the applicants) in support of their proposed infectious waste incinerator is
a triumph of form over substance. The material the applicants have submitted is attrac-
tively packaged. When examined closely, however, much of it turns out to be vague and
-- whether intentionally or unintentionally -- misleading. The application as a whole
raises more questions than it answers and clearly is inadequate to meet the applicants'
burden of showing that their proposed infectious waste incinerator is necessary or that
the facility can or will be operated safely. Indeed, the applicants rely on unproven, low-
budget and second-rate technology. They ask this Board to risk Weld County citizens'
health and environment on what is essentially an experimental program to dispose of bio-
hazardous waste generated throughout the entire Front Range.
The misleading character of Wixco and Tire Mountain's application and the tech-
nical inadequacies of the proposal reveal an inattention to detail that should not be
tolerated from those who seek to be entrusted with operation of such an inherently dan-
gerous operation. For example, because of its failure to comply with straightforward
legal requirements, applicant Tire Mountain is no longer authorized even to transact
business in the State of Colorado. This fact not only establishes that the application has
been filed illegally, but raised serious questions about the applicants' competence in
general. Similar questions are raised by the applicants' failure to note a serious and
obvious flaw in their incinerator design until the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division
pointed it out in June 1989.
The Concerned Citizens of Weld County recognize and accept the responsibility of
Weld County to be part of the solution to the problem of disposal of infectious waste.
Moreover, the Concerned Citizens agree that incineration of such waste is generally
preferable to landfilling. However, operators of such incinerators should be carefully
screened, should be subject to detailed enforceable requirements for inspections, record-
keeping, monitoring, reporting, and financial responsibility for any resulting contami-
nation, and should use only state-of-the-art technology. Further, Weld County's citizens
should not accept the burden of disposing infectious waste from the entire Front Range.
Rather, this County should develop sufficient incineration capacity to handle only the
amount of waste generated in the community. Finally, the Concerned Citizens urge the
-2-
Board to follow other governments -- including the City and County of Denver, Adams
County, and the States of Pennsylvania and Delaware --in imposing a moratorium on the
siting of new incinerators until after adequate regulations and a comprehensive plan are
in place.
A Colorado Air Pollution Control Division exhibit (attached as Exhibit A) reveals
that, in purchasing their equipment, the applicants have spent less than one percent (1%)
of the average amount spent for new infectious waste incinerators and air pollution
control equipment in Colorado. Simply stated, the Citizens of Weld County are entitled
to more protection than that afforded by the low-budget operation contemplated by the
application.
I. WIXCO AND TIRE MOUNTAIN HAVE NOT MET THEIR BURDEN
OF PROVING THAT THE INFECTIOUS WASTE INCINTERATOR IS
NECESSARY OR THAT THE INCINERATOR CAN OR WILL BE SAFELY OPERATED.
As the applicants, Wixco and Tire Mountain have the burden of showing that their
application should be granted. Close examination reveals that this burden has not been
met.
A. Materials Submitted by Wixco and Tire Mountain are Misleading.
Although Wixco and Tire Mountain's application is polished, the applicants have
sacrificed accuracy in order to submit a pleasing package. The materials are misleading
in at least the following respects: (1) the proposed incinerator is not "state-of-the-art";
(2) the application fails to disclose that the incinerator design is experimental; (3) the
Colorado Department of Health has not issued a final air permit, as implied by the appli-
cation; (4) the incinerator will not be "pollution-free"; and (5) contrary to statements in
the application, fly ash from the incinerator will be hazardous waste. These points are
explained in detail below.
1. The proposed incinerator is not state-of-the-art, rather it is a jerry-rigged, low-
budget effort.
The applicants have submitted a video in support of their application containing
several false statements. The applicants are simply wrong in claiming that their
equipment is "in the forefront of design and implementation," "state-of-the-art," and
uses "the most effective method" of incineration. To the contrary, the applicants pro-
-3-
pose to use old, low-budget equipment designed for other purposes that they have jerry-
rigged to function as an infectious waste incinerator.
The potentially dangerous incineration of medical waste should be accomplished by
equipment specifically designed and manufactured for that purpose. An illustration of a
properly designed rotary kiln incinerator is provided on page 1301 of "Hospital Waste
Disposal by Incineration" by Brunner and Brown (October 1988), submitted as Appendix B
to this statement. In contrast, the 33-foot-long, 3-foot-diameter single chamber rotary
kiln that the applicants intend to use as an incinerator is over twenty years old and was
designed for other purposes.1/ It is not suited for incineration of infectious waste for
several reasons, including:
a. The applicants' kiln is not designed to contain enough combustion chambers. An
adequate rotary kiln incinerator uses at least two chambers: a primary combustion
chamber to burn solids and liquids and a secondary combustion chamber to burn gases and
reduce dangerous dioxins and furans.?/ The incinerator contemplated by Wixco's and Tire
Mountain's application only contains one chamber. See Figure 2 of Application for Certi-
ficate of Designation.
The Colorado Air Pollution Control Division informed the applicants that their kiln
was inadequately designed. On June 8, 1989 -- about six months after submittal of the
Application for Certificate of Designation -- International Process Research Corporation
(IPRC) stated in a letter to the Division that they would jerry-rig an additional com-
bustion chamber onto the kiln.-3/ The applicants (Wixco and Tire Mountain) apparently
have felt no need to amend their application to reflect this agreement. Indeed, the June
8, 1989 letter is not an enforceable commitment and was not even signed by one of the
applicants. The June 8, 1989 letter does, however, illustrate two points: (1) even six

(Appendix C); "Issues in Medical Waste Management" by the Office of Technology
Assessment, p. 1 (Appendix D); "Hospital Waste Combustion Study" by EPA
(Appendix E).
3/ Letter of G. F. Chlumsky to Abe Vasquez of June 8, 1989 (Appendix F).
-4-
months after their application, Wixco and Tire Mountain had not properly evaluated their
incinerator design and apparently were not even familiar with the technical literature
(e.g., Appendices B through E) which explains that a two-chamber process is required;
and (2) rather than using an incinerator designed for medical waste, the applicants are
jerry-rigging an old kiln in an attempt to avoid the cost of modern state-of-the-art
equipment.
b. The air pollution control equipment specified by the application — a "wet"
scrubber combined with a baghouse — was not designed for and is not suited to a medical
waste incinerator. An analysis by Colorado Air Pollution Control Division Engineer Abe
Vasquez concludes that although "a wet scrubber and a baghouse are the appropriate
control for acid gas and particulate matter respectively . . . both equipment in a series
have never been perfected because of the possible condensation of moisture in the
baghouse that clog[s] the filter . . . this type of control for [a] biomedical waste
incinerator has never proven to be effective economically.„-4/ Mr. Vasquez went on in his
report to state that IPRC claims it has the experience and ability to solve the problem;
however, an initial permit, if any, issued on the basis of such claims will not constitute
an Air Pollution Control Division determination that the applicants' system will work.≥/
The problem with the baghouse is that if exhaust gases fall below a certain tem-
perature, condensation will clog the baghouse, reducing the effectiveness of the control
equipment. This concern is reiterated by Mr. Jack D. Lauber, a nationally recognized
expert on waste incineration. Mr. Lauber commented on Wixco's application (Appendix
H) stating, among other things, that:
The 15% moisture value shown in the permit application is
questionable for a gas stream following a wet scrubber; it is
believed to be much higher, and almost fully saturated. This is
an important matter, since baghouse filters must always be
above dewpoint conditions to prevent condensation pluggage.
Even if the applicants' unproven scrubber/baghouse design can be made to work
(which is doubtful), Wixco and Tire Mountain should not be permitted to cut costs by
employing such unreliable technology. Pollution control equipment for a medical waste

incinerator should be as easy to use and fool-proof as possible. At best, Wixco's design
will only work if exhaust gases are carefully monitored and kept above a certain tem-
perature, even in winter. This needless complication increases the risk that the pollution
control equipment will fail and endanger the public and environment. The applicants are
asking the Board to impose unnecessary risks on the public only because the applicants
are unwilling to pay for state-of-the-art pollution control equipment that is designed to
operate much more reliably.
c. The scrubber efficiency value presented by the Wixco application is below par
for particulates and the application fails entirely to present efficiency calculations for
hydrochloric acid. State-of-the-art medical waste incinerator pollution control equip-
ment should, under worst case conditions, attain at least 99% control of particulate
matter (i.e., dust) and 90% control of hydrochloric acid.b' Wixco's application falls
woefully short of these standards, attaining only 90% efficiency for particulate control.
Wixco's control efficiency for hydrochloric acid is presumably also substandard, since it
is not even included in the application -- demonstrating that the application is
incomplete at best.
d. The opacity standard referenced in the application is insufficiently stringent.
The initial emission permit attached to the application contains an opacity standard of
20%. As pointed out by Jack D. Lauber, a 10% opacity standard for emissions from the
stack and a no visible smoke emission standard from the incinerator are achievable and
should be met.-7/
2. Wixco and Tire Mountain failed to disclose in their Application the experimental
nature of the proposed incinerator.
International Process Research Corporation (IPRC) has admitted that its incinera-
tor design is not standard and that further research and development is required. These
admissions were made in letters to Jefferson County Zoning Administrator Laurie Best
dated May 17, 1988, and November 30, 1988 (Appendices I and 3). IPRC stated:
6/ See Appendix H.
7/ Appendix H.
-6-
Per recent discussions with [IPRC's] partner, Wixco, it has
become more and more apparent that the first 18 months of
our intended biomedical waste incineration project will be in a
research mode rather than straight commercial production.
* * * *
First: Although incineration of the biomedical waste is an
accepted procedure, the use of a rotary kiln with a 1:10 aspect
ratio to accomplish the incineration is not standard practice.
IPRC needs to establish the feed rate capabilities of the unit,
the need for natural gas, the best feed size mechanisms (that is
container sizes), the most efficient means of handling the ash
products for disposal, and the most efficient scrubber and after
burner and baghouse setup for proficient dust recovery. To
date, we know that the unit will incinerate the material but for
an economic evaluation, much more detail as far as capacities
and efficiencies is required.
Appendix I (emphasis added).
IPRC still believes that the research and development which
we were going to conduct in Golden is necessary to achieve a
complete solution to the disposal problem of the ash from the
incinerator . . .
Appendix J.
The fact that Wixco's and Tire Mountain's application to this board fails to reveal
the extent to which their proposed medical waste operation is based on unproven, low-
budget technology raises serious questions about the credibility and trustworthiness of
the applicants. It also raises the question of whether this Board is willing to allow Wixco
and Tire Mountain to use Weld County citizens as guinea pigs.
3. Contrary to implications in the Application, the Colorado Department of Health
has not issued a final air quality permit applicable to the incinerator.
Appendix A to Wixco's Certificate of Designation application contains an initial Air
Quality Control Permit only. Issuance of an initial permit does not involve a determina-
tion by the Air Pollution Control Division that the applicants can meet Colorado's air
standards.—8/ Rather, the initial permit merely allows the applicants to operate for a
8/ Conversation with Abe Vasquez, Air Pollution Control Division, August 25, 1989.
-7-
limited "test" period to determine whether they will comply. Unfortunately, the Colo-
rado Air Pollution Control Division's ability to monitor and enforce compliance is
severely limited by budget constraints. Thus, unproven pollution control devices of
marginal reliability such as that proposed in Wixco's application should be discouraged
generally and should not be allowed an infectious waste incinerator.
4. The incinerator will not be pollution-free.
The applicants falsely claim in their video that the incinerator will be "pollution-
free" and that "all material [incinerated] is sure to be destroyed." The fact that poten-
tially dangerous pollution will result from incineration of infectious waste is established
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) "Hospital Waste Combustion
Study" (Appendix E). Hospital waste consists of many different materials. Because the
"daily activities and procedures within a hospital can vary dramatically from day-to-day,
it is very difficult to predict what such waste will contain."9/ Toxic hospital waste
include "pharmaceuticals, cytotoxic agents used in chemotherapy, and anti-neoplastic
agents." "Mercury from dental clinics and other heavy metals used in hospitals" may also
cause dangerous air pollution if incinerated)/ The plastic (polyvinyl chloride) bags
containing wastes and the heavier plastic containers for sharps (e.g. needles) may lead to
the formation of deadly dioxins and furans when burned.11/ Pollutants emitted by
medical waste incinerators include hydrogen chloride, particulate matter, trace metals,
and organic chemicals.-12/ Moreover, the burning of infectious waste may release
dangerous bacteria and bacteria spores into the air.
Some studies have attempted to determine a "minimum operating temperature" for
infectious waste incinerators to prevent release of bacteria. However, EPA has
determined that:
The minimum operating temperature is an incinerator-specific
phenomenon which can be determined only by challenging the
9/ Appendix E at p. 1-6.

-8-
unit with highly resistant organisms and measuring bacterial
content of stack emissions to determine the temperature re-
quired for sterilization.'3/
The applicants assert -- without having conducted the necessary tests referred to by EPA
-- that the incinerator's operating temperature will be adequate to sterilize the waste.
Even if this were true (which is unknown), the initial air permit attached to the applica-
tion allows temperatures of the incinerator gases to fall below 1800°F. for any period of
time less than fifteen minutes. Accordingly, given the varying nature of the waste to be
burned, the operating temperature of the incinerator can be expected to fluctuate.
In general, proper operation of incinerators and associated control equipment to
minimize dangerous pollution is complicated by the fact that hospital waste is difficult
fuel to combust.-14/ Indeed, the initial air permit references "upset conditions" which
involve increased emissions due to technical problems with air pollution control
equipment. EPA has noted that "some of the problems associated with hospital wastes
which must be considered by the combustion system designer and equipment operator
are:"
• Fuel of non-homogenous and variable composition - The physi-
cal and chemical composition of hospital waste is highly
variable. Furthermore, the waste feed consists of chemically
diverse articles of different sizes and shapes. Hospital waste
is seldom pre-processed; it is burned in bulk on a mass feed
basis. Non-homogenous and variable compositions should be
accounted for in system design and operation to ensure that
these factors do not pose problems in feeding, flame stability,
particle entrainment and emission control.
• Variable ash content - Hospital waste contains varying amounts
of glass, metals and ceramics which are not consumed in the
combustion process. Fluctuations in ash composition and com-
bustion temperatures can lead to clinker formation, slagging
and fouling in some systems. To avoid these problems, primary
combustion chamber temperatures are generally maintained
below 1800°F. However, this tends to reduce carbon burnout
and the overall energy utilization efficiency.
13/ Appendix E at 3-35.
14/ Appendix E at 2-1.
-9-
• Low heating value - Hospital wastes often have low heating
values due to high moisture contents. This causes flame stabil-
ity problems and, in some cases, it becomes necessary to fire
an auxiliary fuel to maintain proper combustion conditions.
Alternately, dry waste batches (especially those with a high
plastics content) can produce high flame temperatures which
result in overheating of the hearth or other combustion system
components. To avoid these problems, the combustion condi-
tions (principally excess air, air distribution, and auxiliary fuel
firing rate) must be controlled closely.
• Corrosive materials - Hospital wastes contain varying amounts
of fluorine and chlorine, principally from plastics. The acid
gases produced from the incineration of these materials
corrode combustion and air pollution control equipment,
especially convective heat transfer tubes. For this reason,
hospital incinerators should be constructed of corrosion-
resistant materials.15/
Wixco's and Tire Mountain's unsupported assertions that their incinerator will be
"pollution-free" demonstrate that the applicants have inadequately considered the
foregoing problems.
The applicants' claim of "pollution-free" operation also reveal their lack of
consideration of potential transportation-related releases. The Tire Mountain facility is
located of f a dirt road. The Hudson Fire Protection District is on record as stating that
it has no way of dealing with circumstances that could arise from a transportation acci-
dent involving infectious waste.-16/ And, over the years, at least some transportation-
related accidents are inevitable.
5. Fly ash from the incinerator will be hazardous.
The application concedes that "the exact nature of the ash [from the incinerator] is
currently not known." However, the application goes on to state falsely that: "The ash
produced from the operation is not hazardous and can be disposed of in an ordinary land-
fill." A more accurate assessment is provided by Jack 11 Lauber, who states:
The applicant believes that the incinerator ash is not hazard-
ous; that may be true for perhaps incinerator bottom ash, but
15/ Appendix E at pp. 2-1--2-2.
16/ Exhibit U to the Board of County Commissioners' file.
-10-
is is not true for incinerator fly ash, which is usually quite high
in lead and cadmium content.17/
B. The Application For Certificate Of Designation Is Too Vague To Meet Wixco's And
Tire Mountain's Burden Of Proving That The Incinerator Can And Will Be Safely
Operated.
1. The applicants fail to demonstrate that the incinerator is needed.
The applicants state generally that "the Front Range does not presently have, or
anticipated to have in the near future, adequate facilities for the proper incineration of
the growing amount of infectious waste." This statement does not inform the Board
whether or not Weld County has or is anticipated to have sufficient incineration
capacity. Indeed, the applicants do not even address the fact that RX Thermal of
Colorado, Inc. has proposed to install almost $3 million dollars worth of equipment in
Dacono, Colorado for incineration of medical waste. Similarly, the applicants do not
discuss the fact that Bio-Waste Service of Colorado will probably install such an
incinerator at 5090 York Street, Denver in the near future. In general, the applicants'
statement of need is based on their erroneous assumption that Weld County should
assume the burden of disposing of infectious waste for the entire Front Range and
beyond. Any proposal to incinerate medical waste in Weld County should be accompanied
by a survey of generators in the County to determine precisely the amount of capacity
needed to dispose of the County's waste.
2. The operating plan presented by the application is too vague to ensure the
incinerator will be operated safely. Moreover, because the representations in the
Operating Plan are not offered as conditions to the Certificate of Designation, it is
questionable whether the Operating Plan is an enforceable commitment by the
applicants.
Section 3 of the Application for Certificate of Designation, the "Operating Plan," is
replete with vague language that will not adequately protect the public. Such statements
include:
• "Deliveries to the facility during off-hours will be minimal and will
not have an adverse impact on the existing traffic pattern."
COMMENT: Use of the word minimal as a standard is so vague as to
17/ Appendix H at 1 (emphasis added).
-11-
be meaningless.
• "In the event of [equipment failure or some other event that would
cause interruption of normal operation], the operating instruction
manuals will be consulted for each of the pieces of equipment in
question." COMMENT: This is an extremely brief description of
emergency procedures and raises the question of whether Wixco's
staff will be trained to respond to emergencies.
• "In the event of an unscheduled shutdown . . . [a]ny partially
incinerated waste material removed from the unit will be stored in a
metal bin until the processing can be completed." COMMENT: It is
unclear how long partially incinerated waste materials will be stored
in a metal bin and there is no commitment to refrigerate the bin.
• "Should prolonged shutdown of the incinerator units occur . .
. [c]ontract disposal arrangements and reciprocal agreements are
currently in place." COMMENT: The arrangements and agreements
are unspecified.
• "Liquid waste from the floor and equipment-washing of leakage from
the waste boxes will be disinfected and flushed down the drain. The
Center for Disease Control 'recommendations for prevention of HIV
transmission and health care settings' state that sanitary sewers 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 . . ." COMMENT: There is no commitment to
connect the floor drains to sanitary sewers. This portion of the oper-
ating plan states that liquid infectious waste will be flushed down
drains into a septic tank and thus disposed of in Weld County's ground
water. The septic tank has the "bare minimum" capacity to handle
waste from only two (2) bathrooms.18/
• "The waste generator is responsible for ensuring that no hazardous
waste . . . enters the biomedical waste drain. This is clearly stated in
contractual agreements as well as being emphasized during initial in-
servicing of clients . . . Quality control personnel will do spot checks
of loads to ensure compliance with this requirement." COMMENT:
By shifting responsibility for ensuring that no hazardous waste is
burned to the waste generators (i.e., the hospitals), the applicants are
avoiding their own independent duty to see that the incinerator is run
safely. Moreover, the application fails to specify what quality control
procedures will be followed or what training quality control personnel
will be given, or how often spot checks will be taken.
• "Radiological waste will be screened at the generator site through the
use of a Geiger counter on each service vehicle." COMMENT: There
18/ Letter of Freese Engineering (Appendix K).
-12-
is no statement as to who will do the screening, the generator or the
operator. Moreover, there is no commitment to screen all hospital
waste for radioactivity. A radiological control monitoring instrument
should be connected to an audible alarm and should also be inter-
locked with the waste feed to automatically shut off waste feed to
the incinerator if any radioactive waste is found.19/
• There are numerous statements that various personnel "will be
trained" or "will receive appropriate training in job functions, hazard
recognition, proper safety equipment usage, and safety procedures."
COMMENT: The applicants should have developed a specific and
detailed personnel training plan which should have been submitted
with the application.
Even more significant than the vagueness of the language setting forth operating
procedures for the incinerator is the lack of procedures for important tasks. For
example:
• There is no plan for monitoring ground water quality to deter-
mine the effect of flushing liquid waste down floor drains and
the effects of day-to-day spills. Thus, any ground water con-
tamination resulting from the applicants' operation will
continue unabated to endanger the public and environment.
• There is no plan for safe storage and disposal of any radio-
active waste that is detected before entering the incinerator.
• There is no specific plan to abate risks to the public resulting
from a fire at the facility. The application states that "the
applicable fire code" will be followed. However, the code was
not designed for facilities that incinerate biohazardous
materials.
• There is no specific plan for abating risks to the public and
environment in the event of a transportation accident.
• There is no plan for safe storage of fuel for the incinerator.
• There is no plan for regular inspection of the facility or for
detailed record-keeping. The application states that there
shall be "additional records as required by regulatory
agencies"; however, incineration of infectious waste is under-
regulated: thus, the application should specify procedures
above and beyond the bare minimum required by current
regulations.
19/ Appendix H, p. 1.
-13-
• There is no plan for monitoring of air emissions for (1) radio-
active compounds, (2) dioxins and furans, (3) heavy metals, (4)
hydrochloric acid, 0) particulate matter, or (6) bacteria.
• There is no plan for ensuring that neighboring crops are not
contaminated.
• There is no plan for compensating people injured physically or
suffering property damage due to operation of the facility.
• There is no plan for assuring that there will be adequate funds
to properly close down the facility, to conduct cleanup of
resulting environmental contamination and respond to
emergencies.
• There is no plan for informing county officials of problems at
the incinerator.
In sum, the application does not provide enough detail to assure protection of the
public or even to demonstrate that the applicants have considered all the ramifications
of their proposed operation.
II. THE APPLICATION HAS BEEN ILLEGALLY SUBMITTED.
C.R.S. § 7-10-109(2) states: "Any domestic corporation which is suspended [by the
Secretary of State] under the provisions of this section . . . shall be inoperative and no
longer competent to transact businss in this state . . . ." Thus, by entering into a
contract while suspended under § 7-10-109, a corporation "perform[s] an act which [is]
without legal competency or significance, and such purported contract cannot become
the basis of any claim." Graham, Inc. v. Mountain States Tel. & Tel., 680 P.2d 1334, 1335
(Colo. App. 1984).
This Board should not consider the application until all applicants are competent to
transact business in Colorado. Tire Mountain, Inc. was suspended on September 30, 1987
for failure to comply with Colorado corporate laws and has not been reinstated.-20/

Mountain may not legally transact business in this state.

III. SITING OF NEW MEDICAL WASTE INCINERATORS SHOULD BE POSTPONED
UNTIL NEW COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH REGULATIONS
ARE FINALIZED.
The Colorado Department of Health's "recommended approval" establishes only that
the department believes that the application complies with the bare minimum solid waste
regulations on -the book. The Department's June 16, 1989 letter contains no statements
as to whether the incinerator is necessary, well-designed, or can be operated without
contaminating nearby residents and properties. It is within the Board's discretion to
consider issues not specifically addressed in state regulations and determine whether or
not the incinerator would be a positive development.
The Colorado Air Pollution Control and Hazardous Materials and Waste Manage-
ment Divisions have drafted regulations specifically applicable to medical waste incin-
erators. These regulations are not yet final and may be delayed by administrative
proceedings and/or court action.
Application and enforcement of the regulations to existing facilities will be prob-
lematic even when (and if) the regulations are final. For example, the Air Pollution
Control Division's proposed amendment would apply to existing facilities on January 1,
1990 or December 31, 1990, depending on incinerator capacity. See Appendix M, ¶ ¶ 3(a)
and 3(b) Similarly, application of the Waste Management Division's proposed regulations
is limited. See Appendix N at ¶ 13.1.3(c). There is no way to know what provision, if
any, the regulations will make for existing facilities when and if they become final.
Vague statements by the applicants that they intend to comply with the draft regu-
lations are not enough to make the regulations enforceable. To ensure that the regula-
tions apply, this Board should postpone the siting of new medical waste incinerators until
the regulations are final.
IV. WELD COUNTY SHOULD POSTPONE SITING NEW INCINERATORS
UNTIL THE COUNTY HAS ADOPTED A PLAN
TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC AND ENVIRONMENT
Even when finalized, the Colorado Department of Health's regulations will provide
only minimal protection. To assure that the inherently dangerous incineration of bio-
hazardous waste is conducted as safely as practicable, the County should develop a
comprehensive plan for regulating incinerators and defer siting any incinerator until such
a plan is developed.
-15-
1. Incineration of Rio-Hazardous Waste is Inherently Dangerous.
Dr. Paul Connett, a member of a congressional panel studying waste disposal and a
nationally recognized expert on incineration recently warned Weld County to move
slowly and carefully in approving medical waste incinerators. Dr. Connett noted that "to
allow a company into the area with track record is like giving a loaded revolver to a
baby.„-21/
The inherent dangerousness of medical waste incineration arises from the following
factors, among others:
1. No equipment works perfectly. At times there will be
breakdowns of pollution control equipment known as
"upsets." Indeed provision for "upsets" is written into
the applicants' initial air permit. Assessments of the
risk to human health posed by incinerators don't usually
consider upsets.
2. Incineration in a rural area may lead to contamination
of the food chain. The proposed Wixco site is 1/4 mile
from a turkey farm and within 1,000 feet of a farm
growing feed corn. Indeed, one quart of cow milk
delivers a dioxin dose equivalent to breathing the air
where the cow is grazing for eight (8) months.22/
3. Exposure to the multiple pollutants created by incinera-
tors lead to "synergistic effects." In other words the
pollutants work together in unanticipated ways to pose
more danger than the sum of their individual effects.
Synergistic effects are poorly understood and often not
considered by officials in assessing risks.
4. The cumulative impact of many incinerators and other
pollution sources in a community increase the risk to
the public.
21/ "U.S. warns Weld County to be wary of incinerators" (Appendix O).
22/ Appendix P at p. 19.
-16-
5. Transportation of waste to be incinerated and hazardous
ash poses risks of accidents and occasional spills that
contaminate the countryside.23/
The inherent risk of incineration does not mean that incineration can never be
allowed. Other alternatives also pose risks. But incineration should proceed only in
accordance with a detailed and well-thought-out plan to protect the County's citizens
and environment.
2. Other Jurisdictions Have Postponed Approval of Incinerators Pending Further
Plannin .
Adams County and the City and County of Denver have recently placed mori-
toriums on approval of new incinerators to allow for further planning. See Appendices Q
and R. Indeed a detailed Addendum to the Adams County Waste Management Plan
(Appendix S) was rejected by the Adams County Planning Board on August 24, 1989 as too
lax. The Board requested that a tougher version be submitted in two weeks. Mora-
toriums have also been instituted in the States of Pennsylvania (by statute) and Delaware
(by order of the Governor) (Appendices T and U).
3. A Comprehensive Plan Should Provide for Proof of the Financial Responsibility of a
Waste Operator.
As a matter of both state and federal law, owners and operators of hazardous waste
disposal facilities must provide proof they have made and constantly maintain adequate
provisions (e.g. insurance or a performance bond) to demonstrate financial responsibility
for bodily injury and property damage caused by (1) sudden accidental occurrences arising
from operations and (2) nonsudden accidental occurrences. 6 CCR 1007, §266.16.
Infectious waste is within the federal statutory definition of hazardous waste, which is:
The term "hazardous waste" means a solid waste . . . which
because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical,
or infectious characteristics may --
(A) cause, or significantly contribute to an increase in
mortality or in serious, irreversible, or incapacitating
reversible illness; or

Isi Risks of Municipal Solid Waste Incineration: An Environmental Perspective" by
Dr. Richard A. Denison and Dr. Ellen K. Silbergeld (Appendix P).

(B) pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human
health or the environment when improperly treated, stored,
transported, or disposed of, or otherwise managed.
42 U.S.C. § 6903(5) (emphasis added).
In Colorado, the legislature enacted House Bill No. 1328 which exempts infectious
waste from the definition of hazardous waste. Additionally House Bill No. 1328 exempts
a waste generator who has, in good faith, disposed of waste in a disposal facility such as
Wixco's from civil or criminal liability for resulting injuries and property damage. Thus
if private or county property is damaged, or if people are injured from Wixco's operation,
the applicants alone will be liable. Without proof that the applicants can and will
maintain insurance to cover this liability, their proposed incinerator should not be
permitted to operate.
4. Weld County Should Insist on Air Monitoring and Modeling by the Waste Disposal
Operator.
As previously discussed, the application does not provide for monitoring of
radioactive, bacteriological, acidic and chemical releases of air emissions. Such
monitoring should be a condition of issuance of any certificate of designation to
incinerate medical waste.
5. Weld County Should Not Accept the Burden of Incinerating Waste From the Entire
Front Range.
Waste incineration should be limited to a capacity reasonably necessary to
incinerate infectious waste generated in Weld County. Otherwise the County runs the
risk of becoming the waste disposal facility for the entire front range to the detriment of
the County's ability to attract other businesses and to protect its citizens and
environment.
6. Weld County Should Adopt Minimum Uniform Technology and Operating Standards.
Wixco's proposal to use substandard technology and meet only lax air standards
demonstrates the need for a uniform plan spelling out uniform minimum requirements.
-18-
CONCLUSION
When examined closely, the application of Tire Mountain, Inc. and Wixco, Inc.
clearly is inadequate to demonstrate that the applicants can or will operate the proposed
incinerator safely. Further, the application does not provide for the type of monitoring
and financial responsibility mechanisms necessary to confirm safe operation and to
ensure that accident victims are properly compensated. The inadequacies of the appli-
cants' proposal are especially significant because the applicants are seeking a "vested
property right" pursuant to C.R.S. § 24-68-103. The Concerned Citizens of Weld County
feel strongly that no such vested right should issue for a low-budget, experimental
operation such as this one. The fact that the applicants' incineration and pollution
control equipment cost less than one percent (1%) of the equipment proposed for other
new incinerators in Colorado illustrates that, even if incineration of infectious waste is
appropriate for the community, this particular incinerator is not acceptable. Jefferson
County rejected siting of this incinerator in an 1-3 zone (Appendix V). This County should
do the same. The Concerned Citizens of Weld County urge that (1) the present
application be denied, and (2) all siting of infectious waste incinerators be deferred in
general until a comprehensive plan is developed for such incineration.
In the unlikely event that this Board decides to issue a Certificate of Designation
for this incinerator, the Concerned Citizens of Weld County respectfully request that the
applicants be required to demonstrate financial responsibility for sudden and non-sudden
accidental occurrences and develop and implement a monitoring and modeling program to
determine emissions and public exposure to hydrochloric acid, suspended particulates,
heavy metals, dioxins, furans, radioactive emissions, and bacteria. Additionally, the
Certificate of Designation should limit incinerator waste capacity to the amount of
infectious waste generated in Weld County. Further, roads servicing the facility should
be paved to minimize generation of dust and help reduce the risk of transportation
accidents. Such paving should be done before any incineration commences. Even these
conditions, however, would not be enough to protect the public given the low-budget and
experimental nature of the applicants' equipment. Accordingly, the application must be
denied.

Dear Mr. Vasquez:
Per our discussions over the past few days, International Process
Research Corp (INTERPRO) has recalculated the retention time in
the rotary kiln proposed for the bio-medical waste incineration
facility in Weld County. We agree that using the calculation
method used by the State that a secondary chamber is required to
meet the 2-second gas retention time proposed by the State. We,
therefore, will add a 2-foot diameter by 30-foot long secondary
chamber to the kiln. The chamber may be placed under the rotary
kiln for operation.
With regard to your question as to the controls on the baghouse,
we have temperature monitors on the scrubber discharge and bag-
house inlet that alert the operators to temperature changes in
the system so that proper adjustments in the gas stream can be
made to protect the system and the discharge to the stack.
I hope this answers the questions we discussed. If we can be of
further assistance, please do not hesitate to call.
Respectfully,
G. F. Chlumsky

Dear Mr. Vasquez:
Per our discussions yesterday, International Process Research
Corporation (INTERPRO) is pleased to provide answers to the
following questions:
1) Question: Describe the operation of the baghouse after
the scrubber.
Answer: The baghouse after the scrubber will act as a
second trap for any particulate matter that may get
through the wet scrubber. It is being installed as an
extra safety device on our system. As our calculation
showed, the wet scrubber is sufficient to remove 99.5%
of the particulate generated in the kiln, which places
our operation well below the discharge limit. The only
operational control, which will be required on the
baghouse, is that we must keep the temperature of the
gas stream slightly above the dew point to insure that
the water vapor in the gas stream does not condense out
on the bags. We must also be careful that the
temperature of the gas stream going to the baghouse
does not exceed 250°F because the bags normally will
not take sustained temperatures over that limit. We
envision no problems operating in this mode. We have
experience with this same system in our R & D efforts
in Golden. {/

2) Question: Since the retention time for an _incinerator
gas stream has increased to 2 seconds, what is the
retention time in INTERPRO's rotary kiln?
Answer: Based on our submission that the last 20 feet
of the kiln will be kept at 1800°F for gas burning and
retention, and that we are pulling 3000 acfm through
the kiln, we have calculated the following retention
time:
Volume: 3 ' Dia x 20' long = 141 ft3
ACFS: 3000 ACFM/60 sec/min = 50 ACFS
Retention time: 141 ft3/50 ACFS 2.83 Sec
I hope these responses answer your questions. If we can be of
further service, please do not hesitate to call.

Dear Mr. Chlumsky:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm that this Department has
received an application to appeal my decision concerning
biomedical waste incineration. As you know, it is my opinion
that the Industrial-Three (I-3) zone district would permit use of
the existing kiln for incineration in concert with the research
conducted by IPRC. Further, it is my opinion that the long term
commercial incineration is not a permitted use. The appeal which
has been filed requests that the Board of Adjustment review the
"transportation, receiving, and incineration of infectious waste
in the I-3 zone district. " The Board of Adjustment is empowered
to hear and decide upon appeals where it is alleged that there is
an error in any order, requirement, or decision made by an
administrative official in the .enforcement of the Zoning
Resolution.,
This appeal will be scheduled before the Board on December 7,
1988 at 9:00 a.m. , 18301 West 10th Avenue, Golden. Please call
me if you have any questions regarding this procedure. I have
enclosed a copy of the Board of Adjustment procedures for your
review. I will be preparing comments for the hearing, which will
be available approximately December 1, 1988.
You should note that your presence and testimony at the hearing
is important to provide the Board with information necessary for
their decision. c Sinly, /'`.O"(

Per recent discussions with International Process Research Corporation's'k'i'
partner, Wixco, it has become more and more apparent that the first 18 months ';11 '
of our intended biomedical waste incineration project will be in a research -::. ,
mode rather than straight cannercial production. The. major reasons for the N ' ,
research requirements come frail two areas. These are:
4r
First: Although incineration of the ` biomedical waste ,....is an }
accepted procedure, the use of a rotary' kiln with a 1:10 aspect
ratio to accomplish the incineration is not standard practice. IPRC F,' r,
needs to establish the feed rate capabilities of the unit, the need ;; , .?_ .,.
for natural gas, , the best feed size..mechanisms (that is container ` (
sizes) , the most efficient means of handling fh� ate+ p for ;,', r ;
disposal, and the most efficient scrubber andCefter burn and bag ' ':at ,. `
house setup for proficient dust recovery. :.:To date-.-i+e'1 that the a4t:. :'
unit will incinerate the material but' for an economic evaluation, :.•,;.;, :c,,.,;'t gn,,
much more•detail.as far as capacities and efficiencies is required y tiiii.
l
Second: Me source of materials for" incineration has not. been „ :' , , ,E,1 ,
• established as yet and may take as long 1 as 12 months to contract k Fr u ; ,,
with various hospitals and clinics to establish a constant, feed to ' .
the system. A constant feed is critical to develop all"of the , ;.-,!.,16',. '.
operating parameters such as heat value,`,ash content, metal recovery .:'":,;;w, ? ,:
t . needle recovery) , and maintenance and. ' c,l �,
techniques (mostly syringe '
wear requirements. of the refractory liner .in the kiln.,, , ,-1. ,45,,, /, ', tV R i
1 j,1e ,
' ' ?ytl I , 4 kN
For these reasons, we request that the Zoning ' � r Administrator consider, s 441 •use of the on-site facility for research};and'development of the biomedical']
waste incineration until the end of 1989..14. At that 'time, ,i if theL.operation Id
proves to be economic and feasible at this site, we :will either .request,a.0.6.,../
zoning change or appeal the use of this site i under I-3 as an;incineration rift':

Dear Commissioners:
I am writing this letter as a concerned citizen of Weld County to express my
oposition to the granting of a permit to Tire Mountain, Inc. and WixCo., Inc. to
establish and operate a infectious waste incinerator at tire mountain on Weld
County road 41.
Even though the planning commission has given its approval to this operation,
there are still doubts in my mind as to the safety of this operation regarding the
health and well being of not only citizens living near by, but to anyone that might
be affected by this operation should contamination get into the food chain.
I urge you to examine every aspect of the proposed project with great care and if
you have any doubt about its safety; which you should; to closely evaluate the
risks involved. Future generations could be in jeopardy should this be approved!
I hope that you will also take into consideration the fact that waste can now be
classified as a commodity under federal law and thus imports from where ever
can not be stopped as long as the facilities to handle it are available.

Weld County Board of Commissioners
Post Office Box 758
Greeley, Colorado 80632
Dear Commissioners:
I am writing this letter as a concerned citizen of Weld County to express my
oposition to the granting of a permit to Tire Mountain, Inc. and WixCo., Inc. to
establish and operate a infectious waste incinerator at tire mountain on Weld
County road 41.
Even though the planning commission has given its approval to this operation,
there are still doubts in my mind as to the safety of this operation regarding the
health and well being of not only citizens living near by, but to anyone that might
be affected by this operation should contamination get into the food chain.
I urge you to examine every aspect of the proposed project with great care and if
you have any doubt about its safety; which you should; to closely evaluate the
risks involved. Future generations could be in jeopardy should this be approved!
I hope that you will also take into consideration the fact that waste can now be
classified as a commodity under federal law and thus imports from where ever
can not be stopped as long as the facilities to handle it are available.
Sincerely, U @ 0 n

PEOPLE'S BILL OF RIGHTS
I
l t'rople in this country have the right to be safe and -secure 'in their homes and work-
; places. We have the right to bring up our children and live uur lives tree from harm
i imposed by toxic substances that have been brought into our communities, neighborhoods,
iworkplaces, schools and farms by others, without our knowledge and -without our consent.
1 We have the right to clean air, clean water, uncontaminated food and -safe places to live,
work and play. We have the right to require our government to be accountable and industry
to be responsible. We have the right to action and to public policy which will restore
to us that which has been taken away and to stop the needless and unjustifiable attack
on our lives, families, homes, jobs and future that come from the imposition of toxic sub-
stances in our environment.
• RIGHT TO BE SAFE FROM HARMFUL EXPOSURE. People have the inherent
right to be safe in their homes and workplaces. Our children have the right to grow up
strong and healthy, not diseased, deformed or to die before they've had a chance to live,
to be safe in their schools, free from cancer-causing asbestos or other hazards, and to
play in their backyards free from erupting chemical pits or contaminated soils. We have
the right to be free from exposures, imposed on us against our will, to poisonous substances
that can cause birth defects, cancer, sterility, genetic damage, miscarriages and still births.
• RIGHT TO KNOW. We have the right to know what poisons other people, industry,
-- corporate polluters and government have decided to bring into our neighborhoods and work-
places and the right to know how these chemicals can adversely affect our health, our
environment and exactly what they intend, if anything, to do about it.
• RIGHT TO CLEAN UP. We have the right to safe, total cleanup of hazardous
waste sites and spills, to have the cleanups take place quickly -with our neighborhoods, homes
and environment restored to the way it -was before the polluters chose to contaminate them
with chemical poisons.
• RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE. We have the right to participate, as equals, in decisions
affecting our lives, children, homes and jobs -on the matter of exposure to hazardous wastes.
We have the right of access, without cost. to information and assistance that will make
our participation meaningful and to have our needs and concerns be the major factor in
all policy decisions.
• RIGHT TO COMPENSATION. We have the right to be compensated for damages
to our health, our homes and our livelihoods. The responsible parties must compensate
us fur the cost of cancer treatments, care of our birth-defected children, the loss of our
farms and jobs, livestock and the burial of our loved ones.
• RIGHT TO PREVENTION. We have the right to public policy that prevents toxic
pollution from entering our neighborhoods by using existing technology beginning with reduc-
tion at the source--u technology that will provide -jobs, business opportunities and conserva-
tion of valuable resources. Our workers have the right to sai.'t. equipment and other safety
measures to prevent their exposure in the workplace.
• RIGHT TO PROTECTION AND ENFORCEMENT. We have the right to strong
laws controlling toxic wastes and vigorous enforcement of those laws, not backroom, sweet-
heart deals. If a child dies from exposure to chemical poisons in the environment, someone
must be arrested and prosecuted for manslaughter.
