The Wastes Are Transported Directly To Another Transporter Or A Permitted Tsdf, And Not Stored More Than 24 Hours At The Bartow Facility, Since The Facility Is Not A 10-Day Transfer Facility.
• None Of The Hw Transport Vehicles Were On-Site At The Time Of Inspection, But Were Said To Be Well-Maintained. Act’S Vehicles Have Placards And Container Labels, To Meet Dot Requirements.
• Numerous Hw Manifests Were Reviewed, And All Found To Be Correct And In Order. Each Of The Act Participants In The Inspection Have Several Years Of Prior Experience In The Hw Transportation Business, And Were Well-Versed In The Matter.

Only An Occasional Paint Or Spray Can Waste Is Generated, Along With Small Amounts Of Universal Wastes (E.G., Batteries, Fluorescent Light Bulbs).
• The Facility Has A Dep Solid Waste Permit, To Solidify Certain Non-Hazardous Waste Streams Received From Off-Site. The Wastes Are Then Transported For Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal (E.G., Landfill).
