These wastes are brought to a centralized storage and accumulation area located in the basement of the Baldwin Building in Rochester. Wastes stored in the Baldwin Building are removed within one year of generation for off-site treatment, recycling, or disposal. In addition, a small portion of the wastes are chemically treated on-site to render them nonhazardous using elementary neutralization. This application is for authority to maintain the hazardous waste container storage area within the facilities property boundaries in the basement of Mayo's Baldwin Building located at: Second Street and Fourth Avenue, SW Rochester, MN The container storage area will be utilized to hold hazardous wastes for periods exceeding 90 days, as necessary. In addition, wastes generated at off-site Mayo VSQG facilities in other Minnesota locations, will occasionally be transferred to the Baldwin Building for storage. The general provisions of the VSQG rules will apply. Mayo Clinic Rochester, as a provider of healthcare and medical research, operates several laboratories and clinics vital to this mission. The facilities which generate wastes which will be stored in the Baldwin Building include, but are not limited to, the following: Mayo Building Plummer Building Medical Sciences Building Guggenheim Building Conrad N. Hilton Building Rochester Methodist Hospital Ozmun Building Charlton Building and Charlton North Baldwin Building Gonda Building Stabile Building Charter House Support Center North (VSQG) Mayo Family Clinic Northeast (VSQG) Mayo Family Clinic Northwest (VSQG) Mayo Family Clinic Southeast (VSQG) Facilities Warehouse (VSQG) The Baldwin Building storage room is used to store wastes generated within the Baldwin Building and other contiguous Mayo facilities. The locations of the Mayo facilities contiguous to the Baldwin Building are shown on Exhibit B-1. The wastes stored at the Baldwin Building are generated as the result of several varied activities. A portion of the wastes are used or unused pure chemical reagents which are no longer of use to laboratory or clinic personnel. The reasons for discarding these pure chemicals include: The chemical's shelf life may have expired; The chemical may have been obtained for an experiment which has been completed; or; The chemical may have been left in a laboratory when operations were terminated. Each Division, Department or Section involved in the use of chemicals at Mayo Clinic Rochester is, in conjunction with Hazardous and Radioactive Waste Management, responsible for evaluating its wastes and ensuring that wastes meeting the hazardous criteria are properly managed prior to transfer to storage. Generators of hazardous wastes contact Hazardous and Radioactive Waste Management of Mayo Clinic Rochester and request that the wastes be picked up at the point of generation. Wastes generated at the facilities contiguous to the Baldwin Building will be transported to the storage area in a waste transport cart using Mayo-owned subways shown in Exhibit B-1. Wastes generated at other Mayo VSQG off-site facilities will be brought to the Baldwin Building loading dock by Mayo owned and operated vehicles, and from there to the storage room by hand cart.
