STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 1.0 Biomedical Waste Autoclave Summary Biomedical waste is decontaminated by steam treatment in autoclave units. Historically, autoclaving of steam sterilization has been a safe and effective method of biomedical waste treatment. By autoclaving biomedical waste, the waste is rendered non-infectious and made suitable for landfill disposal. Biomedical waste treatment is accomplished by steam exposure for a sufficient temperature, pressure, and time period. MDS monitors the sterilization performance by placing Bacillus stearothermophilus pores into the center of a challenged waste load at least once every 40 operational hours in each autoclave. After autoclaving, the spores are incubated and monitored for microbiological growth (i.e. no -growth indicates that effective waste treatment has been achieved). The MDS autoclave system is equipped with a programmable controller that continuously monitors temperature and pressure. Temperature and pressure sensors provide the programmable controller with continuous data reflecting the environment within the autoclave. The plant operators do not have authorized access to the programmable controller. Waste handling and autoclave treatment procedures are further described in the following. 1.1 Biomedical Waste Storage and Handling MDS transports all biomedical waste in properly licensed and operated vehicles. MDS drivers are properly licensed and trained to provide safe, efficient, and courteous pickup and transport of the biomedical waste in accordance with local state, and federal regulations. Biomedical waste is stored within designated work and storage areas. These areas are constructed with a smooth, impermeable surface that is easily maintained in a sanitary condition to prevent vermin, harboring of insects, and objectionable odors oft -site, in accordance with state regulations. Unattended roll -offs, trailers, or route trucks storing medical waste on-site are secured and locked. Biomedical waste will not be stored for a period greater than [hat allowed by state regulations. MDS will maintain records for biomedical waste received and treated at the facility for a minimum period of three years, in accordance with state regulations. Biomedical waste handling takes place within the facility's waste processing and work areas. Chemotherapy and pathological waste may not be treated by steam autoclave. In the event that such waste is encountered, such waste is segregated and transported to a permitted treatment facility. MDS loads biomedical waste into autoclave bins that are approximately six feet long, four feet wide, and four feed deep. These loaded bins are transferred by forklift. The sequences of unloading and loading of waste bins are further described in Section 2.0. All personnel manually and directly handling biomedical waste must wear impermeable gloves and protective clothing to Delp prevent accident exposure in according with state regulations. All reusable waste containers are disinfected either by chemical disinfectant or by hot waterlsteam exposure in accordance with state regulations. 2.0 Steam Autoclave Summary MDS will treat medical waste through steam sterilization in an autoclave so that the waste can safely be deposited in permitted solid waste landfills. In accordance with the state regulations, the biomedical waste is subjected to pressurized saturated steam that delivers the thermal treatment required for effective decontamination rendering the waste non-infectious and safe for disposal at a sanitary landfill. The autoclave temperature and pressure are continuously monitored and recorded during the entire length of each autoclave cycle for assurance that the proper operating temperature has been achieved. in addition, biological indicators are utilized periodically for quality control. The system processes control records and generated informative data illustrating the environment (time, pressure, and temperature) of every load processed. Bacillus stearothermophilus spores are placed in the center of a waste load at least once every 40 operational hours in each autoclave. A quality control log recording the biological indicator results is maintained current at the facility. The temperaturelpressure date charts and the quality control logs provide the stat with essential information that establishes reasonable assurance of effective biomedical waste treatment in accordance with biomedical waste treatment regulations. 2.1 Definitions A. Biomedical waste: any solid or liquid waste which may present a threat of infection to humans, Including non -liquid tissue, body parts, blood, blood products and body fluids from humans and other primates; laboratory and veterinary wastes which contain human disease -causing agents; and discarded sharps. The following are also included, I. Used, absorbent materials saturated with blood, blood products, body fluids. or excretions or secretions contaminated with visible blood; and absorbent materials saturated with blood or blond products which have dried. ii. Non-absorbent, disposable devices that have been contaminated with blood, body fluids, or secretions or excrefions visibly contaminated with blood that have not been treated by an approved method. B. Biological indicator testing. ampule containing Bacifts stearothemrophrlas, or equivalent, placed in the approximate center of the load at least once every 40 operational hours In each autoclave unit. The ampules are retrieved from the subjected load and incubated and examined for no color change indicating sufficient temperature, pressure, and time to kill BeciNus stearothermophilus C. ThermocouplaIRTD. device used to measure temperature in the autoclave. The thermocouple/RTD Is attached to a recording device that continuously records the temperature within the autaclave. 2.2 Biomedical Waste Treatment Procedures The shift supervisor shall review daily autoclave production records for accuracy and integrity. The records shall be maintained at the facility for a minimum of 3 years. The following steps define the MDS procedures for operation of the autoclave for at least one cycle: a. Place finer in empty autoclave bin. L No liner is required when treating boxed waste only b. Fully load biomedical waste into autoclave bin. c. Transfer loaded waste bins into autoclave unit d_ Close autoclave door and activate door lock hydraulic system until autoclave door is fully locked. Engage mechanical safety arm. e. Activate start autoclave process cycle. f_ After completion of process cycle verify that pressure is at or below 1 psig. g. Disengage mechanical safety arm and confirm no pressure release on ball float h. Activate door unlock hydraulic system until autoclave is fully unlocked. i. Completely open autoclave door. Must be in fully open position j. Transfer waste bin to the compactor and dump the treated biomedical waste into the solid waste compactor. k. Transport full solid waste compactors to permitted final disposal sites (landfill or incinerator). 2.3 Emergency Shutdown Procedure The autoclave operators have the capability to command an emergency shutdown of the waste treatment process at any time. IF a system problem develops, then the operator can immediately shut down the cycle by activating the cycle stop on the central panel. Waste that has experienced an Emergency Shutdown/Abort must be re -subjected to another waste treatment cycle. If any autoclave operator executes an emergency shutdown, the operator must notify the supervisor. The supervisor shall conduct immediate inspection and determine the cause of the problem and determine corrective action to be undertaken. The supervisor shall require that all biomedical waste that experiences an Emergency Shutdown be re -subjected to a complete autoclave process cycle. 3.0 Quality Assurance Summary Each autoclave unit is evaluated for effectiveness with spores of Bacillus stearothermophilus, or equivalent, at least once every 40 hours of operation in accordance with state regulations. A Bacillus stearothermophilus ampule (biological indicator) shall be placed into the center of one waste bin loaded into each autoclave. The results of the biological test shall be recorded and maintained in written logs at the facility for a period of at least three years and are made readily available for inspection by authorized personnel. 3.1 Biological Monitoring Procedure a. Mark the "Challenge" biological ampule with date, time, and autoclave unit number. b. Place "Challenge" biological ampule in the approximate center of a fully loaded waste bin. C. Process waste load in accordance with Section 2.0 d. Retrieve the `Challenge" biological ampule. e. Place `Challenge" biological ampule into the incubator and record date and time into Quality Control log. f. Mark a virgin "Control" biological control ampule with the letter "C" and the date and time. g. Place "Control" biological ampule into the incubator. a_ Only one "Control" ampule is required for each batch order number of the ampules. h. After 48 hours incubation, retrieve the 'Challenged" ampule and the "Control'. i. Check ampule and examine liquid color changes as follows: a. NO COLOR CHANGE = negative growth (Pass = Satisfactory Treatment) b. COLOR CHANGE = Positive Growth (Fail = Unsatisfactory Treatment) 'The "Challenged" ampule should exhibit NO COLOR CHANGE. "The "Control' ampule should exhibit COLOR CHANGE j. Record results onto autoclave Quality Control Log. 3.2 Biological Ampule Description An ampule containing Bacillus stearothermophilus, or equivalent, spores is placed in the center of a waste load to monitor autoclave performance for sufficient temperature and pressure for sufficient time to kill the spores. Each autoclave unit is evaluated for effectiveness with the biological ampule at least once every 40 hours of operation in accordance with state regulations. 4.0 Training/Routine Maintenance Checks 4.1 Operator Training Prior to operating the medical waste treatment autoclaves, the employee must read and understand the Standard Operating Procedures. The facility manager will provide a plant tour and demonstrate on-the-job training. Then, the employee will initial each provision in the Standard Operating Procedure manual_ 4.2 Routine Maintenance Checks The autoclave treatment system is visually inspected on a daily basis for steam leaks, water leaks, and steam trap obstructions. Significant steam and water leaks that inhibit effective operation or expose personnel to unsafe conditions will require immediate shutdown of the problem autoclave unit. Similar discrepancies noted with the boiler and/or steam supply piping will require shutdown of the boiler and waste treatment operation. The noted discrepancy will be immediately rectified and documented onto a Plant Maintenance Record Log. The autoclave and boiler shall be operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's operation and maintenance manual. G2. See G9 H3. At the end of each cycle the condensation cools and changes back into water. The water is then piped to a blow -down separator that cools the water and releases it to the sewer. H4. The waste is melted and fused together. For the most part, the original properties of the waste remain the same, except that the waste has been made sterile. H5. The sterilized waste is compacted into sealed trailers and transported to the landfill for final disposal. 11. The only hazard associated with this process is scalding, caused by not following the set procedures guiding proper handling of the waste and machinery. 12. All employees who come in contact with the waste sterilization process are required to wear the proper PPE equipment. The extremities and eyes are protected by gloves, boots, and goggles designed to limit all employees' exposure. 13. All employees are provided with Hepatitis and Tetanus shots. All employees are required to receive Blood Borne Pathogen and OSHA safety training before assignment to any job duties. All employees receive a refresher training course every six months to insure that they understand the laws; additionally, this refresher course tends to lower the accident rate, thus keeping our employees safer. K1. The autoclave process is safer and more economical to operate than any other technology for medical waste treatment. The autoclave process produces no known environmental problems. This process has been in use across the world for many years and has proven to be a safe and effective process to treat medical waste. K2. There are no known problems with this system. K3. The autoclave system is very simple to operate. The waste is loaded into autoclave carts_ These carts are placed into the autoclave. The door is seated. Pressing the 'start button begins the automatic system that governs the autoclave. Operating pressure (275) rises inside the vessel, beginning a 30 -minute cycle. The system blows down automatically, and the doors are opened to remove the waste carts. The waste carts are dumped into a compactor, and the cycle can start again. Reference G1, G2, ( 1.1,3.0,3.2) K4. The system is simple to maintain. There are no moving parts except for the doors. The doors have bearings in the hinges that have to be greased. The door seal has to be replaced when a leak is detected. K5. Reference G1, G2(3.3) Standard Operating Procedures, K6. See K5. K7. The maximum load that can be treated per cycle, per autoclave is 6,000 pounds. K8. 42 minutes Li -L7. Does not apply M1, M2. Please see G1,G2 (4.1) Standard Operating Procedures. M2. None. M5. The treatment process is separate from the test in this respect. The sterility test is to check the system to insure that there are no adjustments needed to the automatic processing of the medical waste. The whole process is recorded on a graph. If for some unknown reason in reviewing these graphs we find a discrepancy, we run another sterility test and in some rare cases the cycle is repeated on the same load to insure that all systems are functioning properly, and that the waste is effectively sterilized. M6. See M5. M7. The process monitors are directly connected to the process. The process operates on the direction of a specific temperature of 275 degrees_ The pressure and temperature are relative. The system has micro switches that control the length and temperature of the cycle_ M8. The process monitor can be overridden by an operator, but the operator would have to know the set up codes to do this. No operator is authorized to possess that information. Mg. The operating system is subject to failure; however, we maintain surplus repair parts so as to minimize downtime in the cycle. In a worst-case scenario, we would divert the waste to another plant in the event we were unable to fix the problem. N2. No recycling program has been approved for medical waste at this time. N3. See N2. 03. Autoclaving of medical waste is the most efficient process known 04. Volume reduction is 40% P. Please find a copy of MDS of Tennessee's Permit By Rule included in this application_ MDS of Tennessee 1221 Sixth Avenue Noi-th, Nashville, TN 37208 August 27, 2004 Answers to questions from the Arkansas Department of Health Application for Evaluation and Approval of Medical Waste Treatment Technologies. A3. The treatment technology of autoclaving for medical waste has been approved by the federal government for many years. Every state in the United States of America has approved this process for medical waste sterilization. The description of medical waste in the Federal Register includes approved processing types, described as follows, DOT Code 173.134 Class 6 Division 6.2,(4),(b),("iv): "A material, including waste, that previously contained an infectious substance and has been treated by steam sterilization, chemical disinfection, or other appropriate method, so that it no longer poses the hazard of an infectious substance..." There are some states, such as Tennessee, that issue a Permit By Rule stating that even though the state has no direct law concerning this process, they have issued a permit to process medical waste through autoclaving in Tennessee.' The Georgia Department of Natural Resources Environmental Protection Division Chapter 391-3-4, Solid Waste Division, .15,(9 2 states, "Decontamination by heating with steam under pressure (autoclave) so as to render the biomedical waste noninfectious..." The EPA contract # 68 -WO -0032, Bio -emissions from Medical Waste Treatment Technologies: Evaluation of Indicator Microorganism Recovery, dated 1993, prepared by Richard M. Hall and Eugene C. Cole from the Research Triangle Institute, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 contains the complete research on autoclaving and on emissions levels associated with this technology. This research was done in order to aid hospitals and other medical providers by providing them with the criteria necessary to judge various methods for rendering their waste not infectious. ADEQ F,2,a of THE MANAGEMENT OF MEDICAL WASTE FROM GENERATORS AND HEALTH CARE RELATED FACILITIES STATES "Steam under pressure (autoclaving)- steam at 248 degrees Fahrenheit (120) degrees Celsius) at 15 psi for (30) minutes" is the requirement for properly treating medical waste. Having stated the laws that usually represent the minimum requirements; MDS processes at 275 degrees for (30) minutes. This is almost a 10% increase above the minimum of your State requirements. E1. The most common test for sterility in the medical field is the Stearothermophilus test (ATCC- 7953).2 This test is approved for use in steam autoclaves as referenced (AAMI-SSSA-1988) and under (ANSI/AAMI, ST37-1992) as listed in Good Hospital Practice for sterilizing medical instruments. MDS follows their guidelines to properly test the loads of medical waste. Each test is logged with the results and the date. Since each load is processed the same way and the equipment operates automatically, once the process starts, MDS only tests on a random basis (usually every 40 hours) unless the state in which the plant is located has different guidelines. We have found the above-mentioned test to be efficient and the results reliable. F2. Since the by-products only last for a period of moments, there is no reason to enact any control measures. F3. Odor is a by-product of any type of garbage. The odor is briefly emitted when the autoclave A copy of MDS of Tenncssce's Pcrmit By Rule in Tennessee is included in this application. A complete analysis and description of the Stearothermophilus test developed by the STERIS Corporation is included in this application. door is opened; however, it quickly goes away. At the end of the autoclave cycle, heat and steam are released and quickly cool in the atmosphere. Refrences Federal Register, page 12336,NoI,54,No 56!

New Items: 9. Z -4470-D Pinnacle Ford The plan submitted does not appear to provide for building landscaping between the proposed building and areas set aside for public parking. The Landscape Ordinance allows considerable flexibility with this requirement. However, interior landscaping cannot count as building landscaping. Additional interior landscape islands need to be placed to help brake up the long rows of parking proposed. A 6 -foot high opaque screen, either a wooden fence with its face side directed outward, a wall or dense evergreen plantings, is required to help screen this development from that portion of the adjacent property to the north that is zoned for multi -family residential use. The proposed street buffers noted on the plans submitted as vegetation buffers will be required to have trees and shrubs in compliance with the Landscape Ordinance. An irrigation system to water landscaped areas will be required. Prior to a building permit being obtained, it will be necessary to provide landscape plans stamped with the seal of a Registered Landscape Architect. 11. Z-7784 St. Andrews Church The proposed width of the western land use buffer is less than the 50 -feet average required by the Zoning Ordinance. Additionally, the width of the undisturbed portion of this buffer is required to be at least 70% of the buffer area or 35 -feet. Unless otherwise provided for, a 6 -foot high opaque screen, either a wooden fence with its face side directed outward, a wall or dense evergreen plantings, is required along the sites western perimeter. An irrigation system to water landscaped areas will be required. Prior to obtaining a building permit, it will be necessary to provide landscape plans stamped with the seal of a Registered Landscape Architect. 12. Z-7785 MDS of Tennessee Medical Waste Disposal Facilit The plan submitted does not allow for the 39 -foot wide on-site street buffer required by the Zoning Ordinance nor the 9 -foot wide on-site landscape strip required by the Landscape Ordinance along the sites eastern perimeter. An irrigation system to water landscaped areas will be required. C N 2 ° O O O y cl)w L —CO ca A= c E E..

Box 2992 Little Rock, AR 72203 December 30, 2004 Dear Little Rock Residents: It is to my understanding that Commodore Medical has purchased 13 acres on the north end of Scott Hamilton Dr. in Little Rock, Arkansas. Commodore Medical hauls and processes medical waste. They plan on an 18 wheeler dock with a used autoclave piece of equipment to steam the waste. With no permits from the city or state they cleared the lot and burned the trees; violating the city and state requirements. This activity when brought to the city managers attention was halted. The mayor has said he will be against such a facility in Little Rock and within a block of a day care center. Most of the land they bought is in a flood plain. Joan Adcock our local representative is also against this type business in such a populated area. The city managers office, mayors, local representative and all the business owners in this area were unaware and against this when informed. Also, the state health department has fined Commodore for numerous violations. Having Bio Hazard form hospitals, doctor's offices, and vet clinics' sitting in a hot trailer for days waiting on processing is a nasty situation. See attached information on Commodore Medical.

Madigan said the company does not have the required permits to store medical waste and that its storage practices threaten both the environment and public health with the potential release of infectious pathogens. On August 4, inspectors from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) reported that one cardboard box containing medical waste was leaking a brownish -red fluid, the smell of rotting flesh was present and flies were at the site. Madigan said the company, which is permitted only to haul medical waste in Illinois, operated its facility with a disregard for the dangers posed by leaking boxes of biohazardous medical waste, which may contain human blood, used needles and human and animal waste. Madigan's complaint, filed today in Knox County Circuit Court, charges Commodore Medical Services, L.P., with multiple violations of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act for improper storage of medical waste, unpermitted waste storage and transport permit violations. The company, headquartered in Nashville, Tenn., is not registered to do business in Illinois. "Irresponsible handling of medical waste is dangerous and illegal," Madigan said. "Our laws are written to protect the public and to prevent practices like these that threaten public health." Commodore operates a facility in Galesburg and has applied for and obtained IEPA permits to haul potentially infectious medical waste (PIMW ra�,'Glul/_ bttp://www.ag.state.il.us/pressroom/2004-08/200408 1 6.html 12/30/2004 V111VG VL L111i 111111V1J P1LLLV111GY VliLll+l ul - 1 LL+JJ 1\L.LNUJ\+J - LJ U1L l Lavu L ibuaa a.�� i•avuavua .. ...��... a ...b.. v. .- permits) on at least two occasions. However, the PIMW permits do not allow Commodore to operate a medical waste storage, transfer, treatment or disposal station. In February 2003, Commodore submitted an application under the name of Commodore Medical Services of Illinois, L.P., for a PIMW permit. Commodore received the PIMW permit, which expired at the end of February 2004. Commodore re-applied in March 2004 using the same company name, and was reissued the permit. During an August 2004 inspection of the Commodore facility, IEPA inspectors reported finding two unrefrigerated trailers parked on the site, both marked on the exterior with biohazard symbols and the words "regulated medical waste" and "infectious waste." Inside the trailers, inspectors observed cardboard boxes containing medical waste, only some of which were labeled with the necessary biohazard symbols. Illinois law requires potentially infectious medical waste to be placed in a container that is rigid, leak -resistant, water-resistant and strong enough to prevent the container from tearing or bursting. Madigan's suit alleges Commodore failed to follow these safety guidelines. Additionally, Madigan's suit maintains that a Commodore employee reported to inspectors that the trailers had been parked at the site for approximately two weeks. The employee allegedly told inspectors that Commodore receives waste materials and stores the materials in an unrefrigerated trailer at the Galesburg site until the trailer is full and ready to be shipped to Nashville. Madigan's complaint alleges this practice violates Illinois law requiring medical waste to be in transit for no more than 10 days. Madigan's suit seeks to assess monetary penalties and permanently prohibit Commodore from further violations of Illinois environmental laws. Bureau Chief Thomas Davis is handling the case for Madigan's Environmental Law Bureau.
