  • Petition to Object to the Stericycle Medical Waste Incinerator, Salt Lake City, Utah Title V Operating Permit
    March 16,2009 Carol Rushin Acting Regional Administrator United States Environmental Protection Agency 80-EISC 1595 Wynkoop Street Denver, CO 80202-1129 APPEAL OF TITLE V PERMIT ISSUED BY UTAH DIVISION OF AIR QUALITY TO STERICYCLE INC. BEFORE THE ADMINISTRATOR UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY I. INTRODUCTION Pursuant to Section 505 (b)(2) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C Section 7661d (b), Greenaction for Health and Environment Justice and (collectively "Petitioners") petition the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "Administrator" or "EPA") to object to the Title V operating permit issued by the Utah Division of Air Quality (Utah DAQ or DAQ) for the Stericycle Medical Waste Incinerator ("Stericycle"). The Administrator is required to object to the Stericycle Permit because, as demonstrated below: (1) the content of the permit does not meet requirements found in the Clean Air Act, (2) the Utah DAQ conducted a biased and tainted permit process, (3) the Utah DAQ did not adequately respond to comments and (4) an important recent federal court ruling in Sierra Club vs. Environmental Protection Agency, changes the law regarding emissions from the bypass stack, and the permit process should have considered and evaluated such emissions, and any permit DAQ issues must comply with this decision. The decision is attached and incorporated into our 1 appeal. The Petitioners request that EPA Region 8 assume oversight and deny the approval order of Stericycle Medical Waste Incinerator (Stericycle) Permit No. 1100055002, issued by the Utah DAQ, under the Title V of the Clean Air Act. Petitioners will briefly give some background information and then state reasons that the proposed permit renewal should be denied and EPA should take oversight jurisdiction.

In fact, this commonplace plastic is one of the most toxic substances saturating our planet and its inhabitants >- From cradle to grave, the PVC Lifecycle (production, use and disposal) results in the release of toxic, chlorine based chemicals. P:. One of the world's largest dioxin sources ~ These toxins build up in water, air and in the food chain. ;... The results: severe health problems, including cancer, immune system damage and hormone disruption. ;... No one can escape contamination. P:. Everyone everywhere has measureable levels of chlorinated toxins in their bodies. How can we get rid of PVC? >- Since safer alternatives are available for virtually all uses of PVC, it is possible to protect human health and the environment by replacing and eventually phasing out this poison plastic. >- Policymakers at the local, state and federal level should enact and implement laws that steadily reduce impacts of PVC disposal and lead to a complete phase­ out of PVC use and waste incineration within ten years. >- A new materials policy for PVC that embraces aggressive source reduction of PVC should be adopted to steadily reduce the use of PVC over time liPage Background Information "Due to the omnipresence of dioxins, all people have background exposure and a certain level of dioxins in the body, leading to the so-called body burden.

  • Medical Waste Incineration Is Obsolete and Unneeded
    Medical Waste Incineration is Obsolete and Unneeded Baltimore is home to the nation’s largest medical waste incinerator. It’s now operated by Curtis Bay Medical Waste Services, better known by their former name, Curtis Bay Energy (also previously known as Medical Waste Associates, then later as Phoenix Services). In 1995, Baltimore was home to another 23 hospital-based medical waste incinerators. Like most of those in the nation, all 23 of these closed down by 2013. Now, Curtis Bay Energy, with two burners, counts as two of fewer than 30 remaining medical waste incinerators in the nation, and the only ones still operating in Maryland. Only one of their two burners is operating for lack of waste to burn.
