Transfers are conducted in a truck -to -truck manner from smaller route trucks to larger transfer trailers. RMW and APHIS wastes transferred at the Facility are transported to the Stericycle Dacono autoclave steam sterilization facility for treatment prior to eventual disposal. The Rifle facility operates up to 52 weeks a year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, as needed, to manage and process incoming medical waste. Normal business hours are 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. A description of the Facility operations is provided in Section 6 of this EDOP. GOLDER 1 February 2019 1775378 Rev. 1 2.0 LIST OF OPERATING PERMITS The Stericycle Rifle facility operates under the following permits: Garfield County Land Use Change Permit for a Solid Waste Transfer Facility, submitted to Garfield County in July 2018; and A Certificate of Designation (CD) to be issued by the Garfield County Board of County Commissioners. 4 GOLDER 2 February 2019 1775378 Rev. 1 3.0 JOB RESPONSIBILITIES AND TRAINING REQUIREMENTS Job titles, duties, and descriptions for Stericycle Rifle facility employees managing medical waste are provided in Appendix A of this EDOP. Training requirements for employees are established specific to their job description and are provided in Appendix B of this EDOP. Additionally, all personnel are trained on the contents of this EDOP. Personnel training records are available at the Stericycle Dacono Facility in hardcopy format and are accessible through Stericycle's internal computer network. Personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements for all job tasks in which facility personnel may come into contact with RMW (including sharps) are summarized in Table 2. These requirements are applicable to the route and transfer trailer drivers and any other employee that could potentially come into contact with medical waste. Training will be conducted, at a minimum: Upon hire; When an existing employee is assigned additional duties related to medical waste management (e.g., through a re -assignment or promotion); When medical waste management procedures are changed or new procedures implemented; and On an annual refresher basis. Employee training will include all topics pertinent to the job description as per the applicable CDPHE and United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) Regulations. 44> GOLDER 3 February 2019 1775378 Rev. 1 4.0 WASTE CHARACTERIZATION, ACCEPTANCE, AND HANDLING PLAN Pursuant to Section 13.7.2(C)(4) of the Regulations, this section summarizes the Waste Characterization, Acceptance and Handling Plan (WCAP) for the Stericycle Rifle facility, including waste screening methods and waste exclusion procedures. Procedures for managing and handling non -conforming or unacceptable (prohibited) wastes are also provided. 4.1 Waste Acceptance Policy The Facility accepts RMW generated in a broad range of medical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and research activities in accordance with Stericycle's Regulated Medical Waste Acceptance Policy (provided in Appendix C of this EDOP). Herein, the term "medical waste" includes biohazardous, biomedical, infectious, or RMW as defined under federal, state, or local laws, rules, regulations, and guidelines. Except as defined by specific state regulations, "medical waste" excludes the following: Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste RCRA hazardous waste pharmaceuticals; All Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) scheduled drugs (including controlled substances and bulk chemotherapy drugs); Waste containing mercury or other heavy metals; Universal waste, including batteries; Cauterizers; Non-infectious dental waste; Chemicals (such as solvents, reagents, corrosives, and ignitables) classified as hazardous under Federal and State regulations; Regular garbage; and Gas cylinders. The Facility cannot accept these excluded materials packaged as RMW. Additionally, the Facility cannot accept bulk liquids, radioactive materials, or complete human remains. The Facility also accepts "sharps," defined herein as any object contaminated with a pathogen or that may become contaminated with a pathogen through handling or during transportation and also capable of cutting or penetrating skin or a packaging material. Sharps may include needles, syringes, scalpels, sutures, broken glass, culture slides, culture dishes, broken capillary tubes, broken rigid plastic, and exposed ends of dental wires. These wastes are handled by Stericycle personnel only when encapsulated within closed containers. The Facility is also permitted to accept US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) "regulated garbage" via two Compliance Agreements with the USDA and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) (copies of which are maintained at the Dacono site), which includes certain types of plant and animal material wastes originating from a means of conveyance that has been in any port outside the US and Canada within the previous two-year period (e.g., food waste from international flights or military transport vehicles, quarantined materials). 4 GOLDER 4 February 2019 1775378 Rev. 1 The Facility may also accept for transfer the following wastes: Trace chemotherapy contaminated waste (including vials, syringes and needles, spill kits, tubing and bags, contaminated gloves and gowns, and related materials as defined in applicable laws, rules, regulations, or guidelines); • Pathological waste (including human or animal body parts, organs, tissues, and surgical specimen); • Non-RCRA hazardous waste pharmaceuticals (this excludes DEA scheduled drugs and controlled substances); and • Information storage media (e.g., paper goods and magnetic tapes) for confidential data destruction. 4.2 Waste Screening, Receipt, and Handling All waste received at the Facility comes from Stericycle collection routes. Generator education/certification (e.g., via Stericycle.com) and driver education are the primary screening mechanisms to prevent unacceptable waste from entering the Stericycle Rifle facility. Generators must demonstrate compliance with contractual provisions regarding waste contents by providing signed documentation with each load picked up by Stericycle. Driver education and training is an additional screening mechanism. Driver training requirements are provided in Appendix B of this EDOP. Stericycle transports all wastes under the following policies: • Transporters shall not accept waste that is improperly packaged. • Regulated medical waste shall be transported in a manner that prevents leakage of the contents of the package. The integrity of the package shall be maintained at all times. The labeling and marking of the package shall be maintained at all times. All loads containing regulated medical waste shall be covered during transportation. The operator of each vehicle shall be knowledgeable of the Emergency Response and Contingency Plan (ERC Plan, provided in Appendix D of this EDOP). Vehicles used for the storage and/or transport of regulated medical waste shall be marked with the biohazard symbol. Vehicles used for the transportation of regulated medical waste shall be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before being used for any other purpose and in the event of leakage from packages. Stericycle reserves the right to reject waste for pickup if the package is: • Leaking; • Packaged incorrectly; • Not labeled or labeled incorrectly; Structurally compromised; or - Known to contain any other form of unacceptable waste. G GOLDER 5 February 2019 1775378 Rev. 1 Identifiable unacceptable waste is not removed from the generator by Stericycle personnel. The waste remains onsite and the waste generator is notified. 4.3 Procedures in the Event of Receipt of Non -Conforming Waste Packaged waste that is identified as being unacceptable will not enter Stericycle route vehicles or transport trailers. In the event that unacceptable waste (waste not meeting the specifications detailed in Section 4.2 above, including but not limited to radioactive waste) is delivered to the Facility and later identified at the Dacono Facility as being unacceptable (the point at which waste would be removed from generator packaging), the following steps will be taken to ensure proper management of this waste by the generator: • Notify the generator. • Segregate the waste containers and place within the non -conforming waste storage area. ▪ Require the generator or a third -party hazardous or radioactive waste company to remove the container(s) from the Dacono facility. Document the receipt and proper management of non -conforming waste and place documentation in operating records of the transfer facility and Dacono autoclave facility. 4.4 Unacceptable Waste Handling Unacceptable waste, upon identification, will be segregated until the generator (responsible party) makes arrangements for, and completes removal of, the waste from the Stericycle Dacono facility. If these wastes require special handling, appropriate measures will be taken to ensure that the waste is segregated in the correct manner. If the Stericycle Dacono facility lacks proper training or equipment to handle an unacceptable waste, Dacono Facility Stericycle personnel will not handle the material, and the generator will be held responsible for all necessary handling. 4 GOLDER 6 February 2019 1775378 Rev. 1 5.0 WASTE TRACKING SYSTEM The waste tracking system employed at the Stericycle Rifle facility documents the proper transportation and storage of infectious waste received in accordance with Section 13.7.2(C)(7) of the Regulations and other applicable requirements. An electronic waste tracking system is used to document the date received, source, weight, and types of waste being transported or stored by Stericycle. A manifest containing pertinent information regarding the shipment accompanies each load of waste entering and exiting the Facility. Barcode labels on containers are individually scanned or manually entered into the tracking system. Documentation of consolidated manifests are retained on site for three to six months from the date the waste load leaves the Facility; due to limited space and security considerations, the manifests are then transferred to the Stericycle Dacono Facility for storage for a period of at least three years. Containers picked up by Stericycle route drivers are identified as to their source of generation through the use of barcode labels matched to tracking documents. Tracking documents are held by the Stericycle driver during transportation and are not kept separate from the waste shipment until its receipt at the Stericycle processing facility. Generators are identified in the tracking system using a facility number unique to each generator facility. Container labels are matched manually or electronically to facility numbers from the points of collection at the generator's facility. 4 GOLDER 7 February 2019 1775378 Rev. 1 6.0 OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES 6.1 Waste Transfer Acceptable waste entering the Facility is checked prior to transfer for appropriate tracking documentation as described in Section 5 above. It is then transferred directly from route vehicles to a refrigerated transfer trailer using dock plates between the trucks. Reusable sharps containers that are transferred off the route truck are transferred using transfer equipment approved by Stericycle (e.g., rolling racks that secure such containers). Proper PPE is employed during these activities as described in Table 2. Stericycle-approved waste handling equipment and practices may be changed based on operational efficiency and/or equipment upgrades. 6.2 Waste Storage Waste is stored in accordance with applicable regulations, in a manner and location that prevents leakage and maintains the integrity of the packaging at all times, and also provides protection from water, precipitation, and wind. Storage units, consisting of route trucks and refrigerated transfer trailers, are constructed of impervious, corrosion -resistant materials that can be cleaned and disinfected. Trailers that are being loaded or unloaded will be parked in areas that provides adequate drainage and are free of standing water. Trained personnel are always present during transfer operations. Route vehicles and trailers are labeled in accordance with transportation requirements regarding the type of waste being transported or handled. Unauthorized persons are not allowed in areas used to store waste. The Facility gates and the exteriors of trucks and waste storage containers are marked clearly with biohazard symbols and a sign on the gate reads: "Caution — Biohazardous Waste Storage Area — Unauthorized Persons Keep Out." Unauthorized persons are not allowed in areas used to store waste. Once a transfer trailer is filled, it is hauled to a treatment facility within 48 hours. Medical waste will be stored for no longer than 72 hours. If odors or nuisance conditions develop, the environment within the transfer trailer will be refrigerated to 45°F or less, or the waste will be transported off-site to an approved treatment or disposal facility. No waste materials will be stored outside of the trailers. The van bodies and cabs of route vehicles are locked and secured when loaded with waste on route and when unattended (out of sight of the driver). Transfer trailers are locked or sealed when loaded with waste away from the Facility and unattended. All transfer trailers and route vehicles are locked and sealed when the Facility is vacated. Medical Waste Container Requirements Generators are solely responsible for properly segregating, packaging, and labeling of RMW prior to pick up by Stericycle or prior to delivery, and are educated by Stericycle on infectious waste packaging requirements. Transportation containers for medical waste are made of rigid, non -bulk packaging that conforms to the USDOT packaging requirements; these require that waste be stored, packaged, contained, and transported in a manner that prevents release of waste material and in a manner to prevent the occurrence of nuisance conditions. All RMW is accompanied by a properly completed shipping document (in accordance with 49 CFR 172.202). Incoming wastes transferred via the Stericycle Rifle facility are received in the following types of containers: • Reusable plastic tubs; • Plastic sharps containers: • Reusable G GOLDER 8 February 2019 1775378 Rev. 1 Disposable Disposable corrugated fiberboard containers; and Pallets and secure bags/boxes of shredded paper waste. Prior to transport, disposable sharps containers and RMW are placed in reusable plastic tubs/containers or fiberboard boxes after having been enclosed in a leak -resistant, moisture impervious, orange/red plastic biohazard labeled bag. Biohazard bags used as transportation liners will meet current and applicable USDOT regulations and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. All transport containers are closed and/or sealed prior to transportation to prevent leakage or loss of containment of waste materials. Puncture -resistant sharps containers (both disposable and reusable) do not utilize liners and remain sealed upon being picked up at the generator's location and throughout all transportation. USDA APHIS regulated garbage is transported and handled in accordance with facility permits, CDPHE Regulations, and the current DHS CBP Compliance Agreement. All transportation containers are properly labeled in compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), USDOT, and Colorado state regulations. As mentioned above, Stericycle reserves the right to reject waste for pickup or treatment if the package is not labeled correctly. 6.4 Controls and Inspections 6.4.1 Nuisance Condition Control At the Stericycle Rifle facility, procedures and practices that include personnel training, careful packaging, and the proper handling of waste prevent and control potential problems of fugitive dust, litter, odors, leaking or broken containers, equipment malfunctions, and disease vectors. The systematic approach to waste handling, which includes the storage and handling specifications and policies described above, inhibits vector exposure to the waste materials. No waste materials will be stored outside of the locked and sealed trailers. Facility cleanliness is maintained on a continual basis. Truck and trailer floors are kept clear of debris, with all spills disinfected as appropriate and cleaned in a timely manner using a readily -accessible spill kit. Detailed spill response procedures are provided in Appendix D of this EDOP. The Stericycle Rifle facility conducts daily inspections when staff are on site to ensure the quality of the controls described above. The inspections are performed within the Facility compound to check for disease vectors, leaks, odors, dust, equipment malfunction, and any other site condition that may cause nuisance conditions to occur. Any problems identified during these inspections are corrected immediately or as soon as practical, depending on the situation. Hard copy versions of each inspection checklist, including any necessary corrective actions taken, are documented and kept at the Facility for a period of at least three years. An example inspection checklist is provided in Appendix E of this EDOP. Inspection records will include, at a minimum, the following information: Date and time of inspection; Printed name and signature of inspector; Comments, including observations of any nuisance conditions observed; and Corrective actions recommended or performed. 4 GOLDER 9 February 2019 1775378 Rev. 1 6.4.2 Emergency Response and Contingency Plan The Facility has in place an Emergency Response and Contingency Plan (ERC Plan) on which Facility personnel undergo routine training. A copy of the ERC plan is provided in Appendix D of this EDOP. The ERC Plan outlines response procedures for a variety of emergency scenarios, including fire, other natural disasters, and spills. In the event the Facility is unable to process incoming waste, the waste will be diverted to an alternate and appropriately -permitted facility. Such occurrences will be logged and the records of actions taken will be documented. 4 GOLDER 10 February 2019 1775378 Rev. 1 7.0 SECURITY AND ACCESS CONTROL Access to the Stericycle Rifle facility is restricted by a six-foot barbed-wire chain-link fence. A single entrance is provided along an unnamed access road that runs along the western boundary of the Facility site. A swing gate at the entrance is kept closed and locked outside of normal operating hours. Prior to working on site, all contractors are required to complete pertinent training and acknowledge Stericycle's applicable safety policies. Waste material located or stored on-site will be secured at all times with access limited to authorized personnel only. 44> GOLDER 11 February 2019 1775378 Rev. 1 8.0 CLOSURE PLAN 8.1 Notifications The CDPHE, Garfield County, and all customers will be notified in writing at least 60 days in advance of the proposed closure date. Within 30 days of completing closure activities, the Facility will provide written notification to CDPHE and the City of Rifle to document that proper management of all wastes has taken place in accordance with the closure requirements presented herein and that the closure requirements have been satisfied. 8.2 Measures Taken to Remove all Remaining Refuse and Residue The Facility will not accept new or additional waste deliveries for storage or transfer within 14 days ahead of the proposed closure date. Within 14 days of the final waste load accepted at the Facility, all waste will be transported from the Stericycle Rifle facility to an appropriate solid waste storage or processing facility. All equipment will be thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and removed from the Facility. The Facility and all waste storage containers will be properly cleaned and sanitized. 4 GOLDER 12 February 2019 1775378 Rev. 1 RECORDKEEPING Records maintained at the Rifle facility will typically include the following: • The facility's Certificate of Designation • The facility's approved Engineering Design and Operations Plan • Copies of waste manifests • Records of Emergency Response and Contingency Plan action Copies of daily inspections Due to storage space and security limitations at the Rifle facility, historical operating records (beyond three to six months of record date) may be transitioned to storage at the Stericycle Dacono Facility.

I:\17\1775378\0400\EDOP_Revl_Feb2019\Appendices\App B Company Compliance Training Requirements.xls APPENDIX C Stericycle Regulated Medical Waste Acceptance Policy •• •• Stericycle® REGULATED MEDICAL WASTE ACCEPTANCE POLICY Stericycle policy requires compliance with all applicable regulations regarding the collection, transportation and treatment of regulated medical waste. Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulations require the generator of regulated medical waste to certify that the packaging and documentation of transported regulated medical waste complies with DOT regulations regarding waste classification, packaging, labeling and shipping documentation. To ensure that neither Stericycle nor the generator of regulated medical waste violates applicable regulations, it is imperative that all parties understand the rules regarding proper identification, classification, segregation and packaging of regulated medical waste. The purpose of this policy is to summarize the minimum requirements for preparing your medical waste for collection, transportation and treatment. Additional facility or state -specific waste acceptance policies may apply based on permit specifications. Please contact your local representative for further information. You may also call (866) 338-5120. REGULATED MEDICAL WASTE Stericycle accepts medical waste generated in a broad range of medical, diagnostic, therapeutic and research activities. The term "medical waste" includes biohazardous, biomedical, infectious or regulated medical waste as defined under federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations and guidelines. Except as defined by specific state regulations, this excludes RCRA hazardous waste pharmaceuticals, all DEA scheduled drugs including *controlled substances, bulk chemotherapy, waste containing mercury or other heavy metals, batteries of any type, cauterizers, non-infectious dental waste, chemicals such as solvents, reagents, corrosives or ignitable materials classified as hazardous waste under Federal and State EPA Regulations. In addition, Stericycle cannot accept bulk liquids, radioactive materials, or complete human remains (including heads, full torsos and fetuses). Stericycle cannot accept these excluded materials packaged as regulated medical waste. All lab wastes or materials which contain or have the potential to contain infectious substances arising from those agents listed under 42 CFR 72.3 are strictly prohibited from medical waste by federal law and must be pretreated prior to disposal. Separate protocol and packaging requirements apply for the disposal of non -hazardous pharmaceuticals. Hazardous waste transportation services may be offered in certain geographical locations, under separate contract. Please contact your local representative for details and packaging specifications. * Un -dispensed from DEA Registrant WASTE SEGREGATION AND PACKAGING The generator is solely responsible for properly segregating, packaging and labeling of regulated medical waste. Proper segregation and packaging reduces the potential for accidental release of the contents and exposure to employees and the general public. DOT regulations require (49 CFR 173.197) that all packages of regulated medical waste be prepared for transport in containers meeting the following requirements: 1) rigid; 2) leak resistant; 3) impervious to moisture; 4) of sufficient strength to prevent tearing or bursting under normal conditions of use and handling; 5) sealed to prevent leakage during transport; and 6) puncture resistant for sharps. All regulated medical waste must be accompanied by a properly completed shipping document (See 49 CFR 172.202). MANAGEMENT OF NON -CONFORMING WASTE As required by regulation and company policy, Stericycle employees may refuse containers that are non- conforming because of their contents or are improperly packaged, leaking, damaged or likely to create a risk of exposure to employees or the general public. Any waste found to be non -conforming to this Waste Acceptance Policy identified in route to, or at a Stericycle location, may be returned to the generator for proper packaging and disposal, or may be rerouted for appropriate destruction; this may include improperly marked regulated medical waste which should have been identified for incineration (i.e. pathological, chemotherapy or non -hazardous pharmaceuticals). Proper segregation and packaging is essential to ensure compliant and safe handling, collection, transportation and treatment of regulated medical waste. STERICYCLE REGULATED MEDICAL WASTE ACCEPTANCE POLICY CHECKLIST ACCEPTED REGULATED MEDICAL WASTE • Sharps - Means any object contaminated with a pathogen or that may become contaminated with a pathogen through handling or during transportation and also capable of cutting or penetrating skin or a packaging material. Sharps includes needles, syringes, scalpels, broken glass, culture slides, culture dishes, broken capillary tubes, broken rigid plastic , and exposed ends of dental wires. • Regulated Medical Waste or Clinical Waste or (Bio) Medical Waste - Means a waste or reusable material derived from the medical treatment of an animal or human, which includes diagnosis and immunization, or from biomedical research, which includes the production and testing of biological products. ACCEPTED REGULATED MEDICAL WASTE WHICH MUST BE IDENTIFIED AND SEGREGATED FOR INCINERATION • Trace Chemotherapy Contaminated Waste - RCRA Empty drug vials, syringes and needles, spill kits, IV tubing and bags, contaminated gloves and gowns, and related materials as defined in applicable laws, rules, regulations or guidelines • Pathological Waste - Human or animal body parts, organs, tissues and surgical specimen (decanted of formaldehyde, formalin or other preservatives as required per hazardous waste rules). • Non-RCRA Pharmaceuticals - Must be characterized and certified as non -RC RA hazardous material by the generator.

Determine the nature and extent of the injury. 2. Call emergency medical technicians if necessary: 911 3. Locate first aid supplies and administer first aid as necessary or, if not trained, notify first aid trained co-worker. 4. Notify Emergency Coordinator immediately. Medical arrangements can be accommodated by the Emergency Coordinator at the following facilities: For non -urgent weekday care: Grand Valley Occup Health 2004 N. 12t1' Street Grand Junction CO 81501 (970) 256-6490 Evacuation Procedures: For urgent night and weekend care (24 hrs): Grand River Health 501 Airport Rd. Rifle, CO 81650 (970) 625-1510 When employees detect an emergency that requires an evacuation, such as a fire or hazardous release, they should evacuate the office and meet at the Rally Point. Some emergencies require evacuation or escape procedures, while some require employees to stay indoors, or in a safe area. Our emergency escape procedures are designed to respond to many potential emergencies, depending on the degree of seriousness. Nothing in these procedures precludes the Emergency Coordinator's authority in determining whether employees should remain inside or evacuate. At this location, the following types of emergency evacuations exist: 1. Fire; 2. Explosions; 3. Tornados; 4. Hazardous spills; and 5. Hazardous chemical or biological releases. The emergency evacuation procedures and assignments are designed to respond to many potential emergencies that require them, including: fires, explosions, tornados, or hazardous releases. Employees need to know what to do if they are alerted to a specific emergency. After an alarm is sounded, signal given, or employees are otherwise driven to evacuate, employees shall vacate the building by the nearby building exit adjacent to the office and head north toward the exterior Rally Point. The Rally Point is located at the warehouse. Procedures to Account for Employees: Trained evacuation personnel assist in safe and orderly evacuation for all types of emergencies that require evacuation. Once evacuation is complete, they conduct head counts. The employees selected are trained in the complete workplace layout and the various alternative escape routes from the workplace. Before leaving, these employees check rooms and other enclosed spaces in the workplace for employees who may be trapped or otherwise unable to evacuate the area. A list of trained evacuation personnel appears below: Isaac Cruz — Transportation Supervisor 720-417-9648 Heath Mitchell — Transportation Manager 303-406-8918 Alan Inkley — Area Safety Manager (801) 503-5985 This list provides a sufficient number of employees who have been designated by the company and are trained to: 1. Direct and assist in safe and orderly emergency evacuation; 2. Provide guidance and instruction for all types of emergency situations; 3. Be aware of employees with special needs, who may require extra assistance; 4. Use the buddy system; and 5. Avoid hazardous areas during an emergency evacuation. The list of trained personnel includes at least one person from every area for every shift. The trained personnel also serve as a resource of information about emergency procedures and conduct head counts once evacuation is complete. Supervisors must be aware of the locations of those employees working on a particular day when an emergency occurs, as well as suppliers, customers, and other non -employees on the premises, when an emergency occurs, and be aware of who is absent or otherwise away from the premises. Accounting for employees and non -employees will aid local responding fire/rescue departments in determining whether rescue efforts are necessary. All departments will report to the Emergency Coordinator in charge or trained evacuation personnel. Once each evacuated group of employees have reached their evacuation destinations, each trained evacuation employee: 1. Takes roll of his or her group; 2. Makes sure all persons are accounted for; 3. Reports in to a central checkpoint managed by the Emergency Coordinator; and 4. Assumes role of department contact to answer questions. Head count results should be given to the emergency response provider, if requested. No employees are to return to the buildings until advised by the Emergency Coordinator (after determination has been made that re-entry is safe). If anyone is injured or contaminated, the Emergency Coordinator will activate rescue and first aid actions. If appropriate, depending on the duration and extent of the emergency incident, the Emergency Coordinator may send employees home by normal means or provide them with transportation to an off-site location. Tornado Watch/Warning: Stericycle will monitor possible tornadoes using the public address system and alarm system. If a tornado warning is issued, all personnel will report to interior areas of the building until an "all -clear" is issued by the weather service. Spill Response: In the event of a spill or loss of containment of waste (either outdoors within property boundaries or during transit) the following actions will be taken: 1. Determine, and write down, the location and severity of incident. 2. If there are any injuries, refer to Personal Injury section above. 3. Notify Emergency Coordinator immediately. 4. The Emergency Coordinator will, if appropriate, notify the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's (CDPHE) Emergency Preparedness and Response Division (EPRD) (877) 518-5608 and provide necessary information. 5. If the spill is manageable, in the opinion of the Emergency Coordinator, respond with a truck to the spill with the following spill supplies and personal protective equipment (PPE): • Vermiculite • 25% bleach solution • Tub liners • Spray bottles • Water • Respirators • Tyvek coveralls • Gloves • Rubber overboots • Barricade tape • Duct tape • Cellular telephone • Shovels • Empty regulated medical waste tubs 6. Appropriate PPE will be donned 7. The spilled material will be placed in red bags to the extent possible (and then into tubs or bins) 8. The affected area, and any remaining residue will be disinfected with bleach (or other appropriate disinfectant) 9. Vermiculite (or other suitable absorbent) will be spread on the spill area, a sufficient time should be allowed to elapse (at least 10 minutes), and the entirety of the absorbent should be placed in red bags. 10. Steps 7 through 9 will be repeated as necessary 11. The spill area and any tools or materials used in the cleanup procedure will be sprayed with disinfectant one final time. In the event of a spill determined to be unmanageable by Stericycle personnel, the emergency coordinator, or designee, will notify CHEMTREC to conduct reporting of the spill, and contact Emergency Response and Training Solutions (ERTS) to clean up the spill. Contact Information: CHEMTREC - (800) 424-9300 ERTS - (800) 210-6804 Note that no waste is stored, handled, or shall otherwise enter the office or any other indoor space on the property.
