The Facility Provided Subsequent Notification To The Department As A Hazardous Waste Transporter Located At 4422 Industrial Park Road On May 5, 2017, And Was Issued Epa/Dep Identification Number Flr 000 223 032. In January 2018, Uwm Purchased Property At 4459 Industrial Park Road And Moved Its Operations To That Location. Uwm Has Never Been Inspected By The Department'S Hazardous Waste Program. Mr. Jason Kenny (President) And Ms. Tina Kenny (General Manager) Participated In The Inspection. Uwm Provides Biomedical Waste And Universal Pharmaceutical Waste (Upw) Collection And Transportation Services For Medical Offices And Has Been At Its Current Location For Approximately 16 Months. The Facility Is Connected To City Water And Sewer. Uwm Has Five Employees And Operates Monday Through Friday From 9:00 Am To 5:00 Pm. The Facility Consists Of A Warehouse And Waste Staging Area. | Universal Pharmaceutical Waste (Upw) Transporter -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uwm Has Two Lift Gate Box Trucks (Photo 1) And Leases One Box Trailer (Photo 2) That Is Used To Accumulate And Transport Biomedical And Upw To The Treatment Facility. The Facility'S Vehicles Are Maintained Off-Site By A Third-Party Vendor. Uwm Transports Biomedical And Upw In The Box Trucks That Return To The Facility Where The Containers Are Transferred Directly From The Trucks Into The Box Trailer Located In The Waste Staging Area Described Below. Warehouse: The Warehouse Includes Administrative Offices And A Single Large Bay With Three Roll-Up Doors. This Building Is Used To Store Equipment, Empty Containers And Supplies (Photo 3). No Biomedical Waste Or Upw Is Stored In The Warehouse. Uwm Provides 8-Gallon, Rigid Black Plastic ‘Glue-Top’ Upw Containers (Photo 4) To Its Customers For Accumulation Of Upw. Mr. Kenny Stated That Uwm Pre-Labels Its Containers As “Rcra Hazardous Waste” So That The Customers Do Not Confuse The Containers With The Biomedical Waste Containers. Because The Waste Pharmaceuticals In The Containers Are Being Managed As Upw, This Is Not Ensuring The Upw Containers Are Properly Labeled [62-730.186(7)(B)]. Customers Maintain An Inventory Log Of All Upw Placed In The Container That Includes The Customer Name, Address, Quantity And Type Of Upw, Date The Upw Was Placed In The Container And Signature Of The Person Responsible. Prior To Pick-Up, The Customer Places The Completed Inventory Log Inside The Container, Seals The Container, Adds Applicable Waste Codes And The Date The Container Was Sealed To The Label, And Attaches A Copy Of The Inventory Log To The Outside Of The Container. Uwm Does Not Open Or Inspect The Contents Of The Container Prior To Transportation. Waste Staging Area: This Area Is Located To The South Of The Warehouse. Biomedical Waste And Upw Is Transferred From The Box Trucks To An Unhitched Box Trailer Located In This Area. Mr. Kenny Stated That Approximately Every Two Weeks, The Biomedical Waste And Upw Is Transported To United Medical Industries Corp (Umic, Flr 000 209 049) In Miami, Florida For Initial Heat Treatment And Then Transported By Umic To Wheelabrator South Broward, Inc.
