These materials are collected by the NHC Property Management Department until sufficient quantities are available to be sent to Cleanlites Recycling, Inc., for proper handling, including recycling and/or disposal. 3. Lro r�!Rt_ tion and ! cnosatic� �: The New Hanover County Department of Environmental Management is seeking grant funding for Program Option 2 Funding for Expanding /Enhancing Existing Program, as a return applicant. We intend to utilize this grant funding to support the expansion of our existing HHW J Mercury Products collection program to provide a mobile van to be taken three days /week to each ore of three (3) sites in the county on each day: Wrightsville Beach, Carolina/Kure Beach and Ogden (in the northern portion of the county) providing improved access to citizens. The hours at each community site will be 10:00 a.m_ — 2:00 p.m. to mirror our primary site's operating hours. This mobile unit will expand our total hours of operation by 12 hours a week. The employee will then transport the sorted materials to the primary HHW facility for final processing and packaging. The grant funds would be used to support the cost of the purchase of the mobile van, disposal costs and operating supplies for the mercury collection portion of the HHW program. The HHW /Mercury Products Collection Program general program description follows: Attachment C DEQ Contract 6904 o The New Hanover County Environmental Management Department operates a residential Mercury Products Collection Program as part of an overall Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection program. This program was initiated in 2013, and received partial program funding from the NCDENR Division of Environmental Assistance and Outreach Grant Program for the recycling of Mercury Containing Lamps and Thermostats. Residents may, at no charge, drop off HHW items (listed in item #4 below), including mercury- containing devices and lamps, for proper disposal and recycling. Customer satisfaction surveys have indicated great community acceptance of this program, with the only issue being the travel time to reach our primary location at the far western edge of the County. Our goal with this program expansion is to provide improved access to residents through a mobile unit located at three (3) new community sites within the county. o The current collection and storage site for this program is located at 3002 U.S. Highway 421 North, Wilmington, NC, in a newly renovated warehouse at the northeast corner of the department's Recycling, HHW and Administration campus. The newly renovated warehouse provides a covered, secure facility for processing and storing collected materials. Hours of Operation at this primary facility are Monday - Friday from 10:00 a.m. — 2:00 p.m., and Saturday from $ :00 a.m. — noon. Proposed expansion of this program will provide a mobile van with a covered trailer to be taken three days /week to one of three (3) sites in the County each day: Wrightsville Beach, Carolina /Kure Beach and the northern portion of the County, providing improved access to citizens. The hours at each community site will be 10:00 a.m. — 2:00 p-m., to mirror our primary site's operating hours. * A trained employee is on site at the primary HHW facility during all operational hours to oversee the collection site, receive the materials, provide assistance to customers, count and inventory items received and ensure proper storage in appropriate containers. Similarly, a trained employee will be present at each new mobile site, and will return to the HHW facility each day to offload and properly prepare collected materials for processing and/or disposal. Training & Emergency Response: o Staff are trained by EcoFlo Inc., the County's contractor, in the proper handling and storage of materials, as well as in spill containment and emergency decontamination procedures. Materials for cleaning up spills, including mercury spills, are readily accessible in the storage facility and will be in the mobile van. An eyewash station and emergency shower is in place at the main HHW facility for use in decontamination, and a portable eyewash station will be available on the mobile van. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is provided to employees for their safety. • Collection of materials: o Carts with spill containment edges are provided for employees to roll to the customer's vehicle to collect materials. PPE shall be worn by employees for safety during collection of materials. Lamp bulbs must be whole and unbroken, and may not be taped together. • Packaging and Storage: o Containers for storage of hazardous materials are structurally sound and appropriate to the material to be stored. For example, 55- gallon fiber barrels may be used for 4' Attachment C DEQ Contract 6904 fluorescent lamp bulbs, steel 56 gallon drums may be used for lamp ballasts, pallets and cardboard boxes stored on pallets may be used for 8' fluorescent lamp tubes o Storage containers are properly and clearly labeled to identify the contents. o Containers are kept closed unless actively being filled. o Containment shelving will be installed in the mobile van for secure storage of items during transportation to the main facility. o P%stic tubs and plastic buckets are used for storage of some smaller items. c All materials collected at the mobile sites shall be offloaded each day and stored in the appropriate manner at the primary HHW facility. • Recycling: o To recycle fluorescent lamps, ballasts and other mercury- containing devices, New Hanover County (NHC) partners with an approved vendor under State Contract 926b, directly. We currently use Cieanlites as our contractor, and we purchase the 4' and 8' cardboard boxes and 5- gallon poly -pails from them and other suppliers for storage containers. c Lights containing mercury collected by our HHW collection program will be handled separately from the bulbs collected from our public facilities. o NHC has partnered with the Thermostat Recycling Corporation (TRC) for the recycling of waste thermostats containing mercury. Bins are shipped from TRC to NHC for collection of thermostats. Full bins are shipped to TRC for recycling. Management of Thermostats and Mercury Containing Devices (MCD): o MCD's are defined as thermostat switches which contain an ampule of mercury as a functioning part of the device. These are often automotive switches. The devices must be received with the ampule intact so that the mercury is not released into the environment. o Thermostats will be accepted and recycled. o Thermometers or other mercury containing devices will be accepted. 4. , Materials Collected/ HHW mercury- containing items accepted: • Mercury Thermostats and Mercury - containing devices (including thermometers) • Lamps containing mercury (unbroken) • Batteries (button -cell) containing mercury 5. Measurement Plan: Items collected are counted and logged for inventory control purposes. A new log is used for each month; the monthly counts are combined for annual report purposes. Logs are used to reconcile each invoice prior to payment. Electronics shipments are weighed on the County's scale to measure load weights. 6. Staff Training Procedures: Staff are trained by EcoFlo inc_, the County's contractor, in the proper handling and storage of materials, as well as in spill containment and emergency decontamination procedures. Materials for cleaning up spills, including mercury spills, are readily accessible in the storage facility and will be in the mobile van.
