"We Put The Lights Out Safely"
LAMP RECYCLINC PRnCESS
Environmental Light Recyclers, Inc. is registered with the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a recycler of
mercury-containing lamps. The company is approved to operate under recycling
exemptions per 40 CFR and 30 TAC Section 335.
Lamps are processed within 24-hours of receipt at our Fort Worth, TX facility.
� Environmental Light Recyclers, Inc. accepts delivery of lamps directly from customers
using their own vehicles or third party transportation services. Lamps transported from
customer sites to the recycling facility by ELR are recorded and shipped using a Uniform
aHazardous Waste Manifest. The company uses no third party storage for lamps awaiting

Waste lamps are imploded inside the negative air pressure environment of the RTI
Model 2000 lamp processor acquired by ELR. This machine has been recently updated
with an advanced two-stage vapor collection system and an enhanced solid materials
separation systems. The system improvements installed bring our lamp processor to
standards found in new systems available on the market today. Mercury vapors released
(approximately five (5) to twenty (20) percent of the total mercury in each lamp) is
captured in sulfur impregnated activated carbon filters. The glass, metal, and calcium
phosphate powder and mercury mixture is air cleaned and mechanically separated. Glass
and metal components axe ejected from the processor and collected in boxes for
immediate reuse. The calcium phosphate powder and mercury mixture is deposited in
sealed 55-gallon barrels for on-site storage and shipment for separation. ELR is
registered as a small quantity generator (SQG) of inercury contaminated powder. We are
authorized to store up to 5,000 pounds of inercury on-site. Each barrel may be stored
on-site for up to 270 days. ,
Materials recovered from our lamp recycling process, e.g., lamp glass, lamp metals, and
cardboard are all recycledthrough various glass, metal, and paper recycling companies.
Mercury is extracted from the calcium phosphate powder, refined and reused. The
calcium phosphate powder is used as aggregate for the manufacture of brick and concrete
block products and as an absorbent for liquid chemical waste materials.

BALLAST RECYC�IN(T PRnCE�S
Immediately upon receipt of fluorescent lighting ballasts, drums are opened inspected
and sorted to ensure that PCB-containing ballasts are located and segregated from
Non-PCB-containing ones. PCB-containing ballasts are placed in USDOT approved
55-gallon steel drums sealed, properly labeled, and prepared for off-site shipment and
processing. ELR provides USDOT approved 1AY200 (formerly listed as 17H) steel, bolt
lock ring drums for on-site PCB and Non-PCB collection and storage.
Non-PCB-containing ballasts are frozen to -20 degrees to ensure stability of dielectric
fluids contained in the capacitor. The ballasts axe removed from the freezer and placed
into the feed hopper of ELR'S patented ballast processing machine. Once inside the
processing machine, the ballast is disassembled by removing the end tabs and pressing all
internal components out of the housing without threat of damage, cutting, puncturing or
piercing the oil-filled capacitor. The ballast core, capacitor, and asphalt base potting
materials are removed from the processor via a conveyor system which empties all
components into the separator. All potting material is removed from the ballast core and
capacitor and all components separated for recycling.
PCB-containing ballasts are frozen to -40 degrees to ensure stability of dielectric
fluids contained in the capacitor. The ballasts are removed from the freezer and
disassembled to separate reusable metals from PCB-contaminated potting material and
the oil-iilled capacitor. All potting material is removed from the ballast core and
capacitor and all components separated for recycling. The potting material and the
PCB-containing capacitors are incinerated per TSCA and RCR.A rules and regulations.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIGHT RECYCLERS, INC.
.
.
Environmental Light Recyclers, Inc. was incorporated on January 6, 1995 by Tom
Slattery, Brian Anderson, and Steve Remley as the principal stockholders and operating
officers. The company's facility located at 2737 Bryan Ave. in Fort Worth began
processing fluorescent lamps and other mercury and incandescent light bulbs during June,
1995. Since then, ELR has added other mercury containing devices such as thermostats,
thermometers, small switches, batteries, and lighting ballasts to its list of recyclable
materials.
Since its inception, Environmental Light Recyclers has enjoyed continuous and steady
growth. It has expanded from three employees at its opening to, nine full-time drivers,
warehouse and lamp processing personnel, supervisory personnel and one administrative
assistant. Three full-time employees live within walking distance to the facility fulfilling
the company's commitment to strengthen the community in which it resides.
Environmental Light Recyclers also supports other community needs by sponsoring a
little league softball and soccer teams and supporting high school athletics. The company
has also actively participated in the numerous Household Hazardous Waste Collection
drives by providing free-of-charge recycling of fluorescent lamps gathered through these
programs.
Hiring cannot occur unless a company's business grows and ELR is growing. ELR
processed nearly 650,000 lamps during 1996, well over one million during 1997, and 1.5
million lamps during for calender year 1998. The company has expanded its service area
to include not only Houston, Austin, and San Antonio but also the Texas Panhandle and
Coastal Bend regions. ELR provides its services to customers in Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Missouri, and Louisiana, New Mexico Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado using
company-owned transportation assets.
Quality service and strict adherence to and compliance with the rules and regulations
established for the processing of hazardous materials has fueled ELR's growth.
Environmental Light Recyclers, Inc. is one of only two lamp recycling companies
accepted by Johnson & Johnson and one of three certified by the Boeing company
Boeing Company representatives conducted a full on-site environmental audit of
Environmental Light Recyclers during the first quarter of 1996 and approved the
�
com an 's rocesses, operations, safety procedures, and end-users of recovered/recycled �
P Y P
materials. Johnson Controls has placed ELR among the top three of 40 lamp recyclers in
the United States. ELR's accomplishments are also recognized by the Texas Natural �
Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC). Environmental Light Recyclers, Inc. has
been included as a finalist for the � prestigious Governor's Award for Environmental
Excellence for the last four years. Environmental Light Recyclers, Inc. was the 1998 a
winner of the Texas Corporate Recycling Council and Tarrant Caunty Corporate
Recycling Council Environmental Vision Awards in the Construction and Demolition �
Debris category ,
TNRCC approved operation of Environmental Light Recyclers, Inc. in April, 1995 by �
granting permission to process lamps and ballasts under recycling exemptions contained
in 40 Code oi Federal Regulations and Texas Administrative Code Section 335.
Following full process and equipment modeling, TNRCC granted Texas Standard Air Q
Exemptions 106 and 118A to Environmental Light Recyclers, Inc. These exemptions
allow atmospheric release of up to 10 and 25 tons of inercury vapor annually from the
facility; however, actual vapor release is well below 0.01 pounds per year. The �
Company's faciliiy has been inspected by the TNRCC for both solid and hazardous waste
management and air ;quality compliance. No faults were noted.

Dear Motor Carrier:
400 Seventh St., S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20590
MAY 02, 1995
8�1/547-8826
D This letter is to notify you of your USDOT Identification Number and to draw
your attention to the�requirement for harking of Commercial Motor Vehicles
in section 390.21 of the Federal hlotor Carrier Safety,Regulations. A copy
of this regulation is enclosed. Its primary purpose is to 'assist
� enforcement personnel in properly identifying motor carriers, thereby
, assuring the submission of accurate data to the Federal Highway
Administration (FNWA). The number also affords the public a way to quickly
� and accurately identify a motor carrier operating a particular commercial
motor vehicle.
a If you are operating as a private motor carrier of property in interstate
commerce, as a for-hire motor carrier of property in interstaCe commerce not
subject to regulation by the InterstaCe Commerce Commission, or as an
interstate motor carrier of migrant workers, this regulation requires you to
� mark all of your "self-propelled motor vehicles" (generally straight trucks
and truck tractors) in accordance with the enclosed.
L■J
L�J
The following USDOT Identification Number is assigned to the motor carrier
identified above:
usoo�s9s143
a This letter is being.�sent to every motor carrier recently added to FHWA�
records. There has been no attempt to differentiate among private, migrant
worker, for-hire, or other types of motor carriers because many carriers
� conduct operations in a combination of these classifications. if you have
questions about compliance with this requirement, piease contact the office
shown below;

LfJ
z
For-hire motor carriers operating in interstate commerce under authority
issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) are not subject to this
regulation, but are required to mark their vehicles under a similar regulation
issued and enforced by the 1CC. 7he FHWA expects for-hire interstate motor
carriers, subject to its safety jurisdiction, to comply with applicable ICC
vehicle marking requirements. Motor carriers whose operations are both
for-hire and private or some other type of operation (e.g., a private motor
carrier hauling its own products outbound from its own facility and operating
as a for-hire motor carrier on the return movement) may fulfill the vehicle
marking requirements contained in section 390.21 by displaying their ICC
number at all times. •
If you receive more than one of these letters referencing different USDOT
identification numbers,�it is probably because of inergers, acquisitions or
reorganizations that have occurred, but are not yet ref•lecCed in our records,
or because divided record authority has been granted and separate numbers were
inadvertently issued. If you receive more than one letter, you should contact
the FHWA Motor Carrier office shown above to determine which number is most
appropriate. When a determination has been made, please return the other
letters to the FHWA Motor Carrier office with a brief explanation as to which
number is being used.
If this letter is received at a location other than your principal office
(e.g., a terminal or an area office) the letter should be forwarded to your

The following is a waste analysis plan for Environmental Light Recyclers, Tnc, fluorescent
and high intensity discharge lamp (HID) recycling facility located in Fort Worth, TX. This
plan provides information regarding the company's process, by-products, and procedures
for handling mercury containing lamp components. Additionally, this plan defines our
monitoring and testing plan to ensure compliance with state and federal requirements.
The specific hazardous wastes generated at this facility are calcium chloroflorophosphate
and activated carbon air filters both contaminated with mercury. A sample of calcium
chloroflorophosphate powder was analyzed by Braun Intertec Laboratories in April, 1993.
TCLP leachate contained 145 mg/1 of inercury. Additional samples analyzed by Braun
Intretec in May, 1993 and Twin City Laboratories in JuIy, I993 indicated mercury Ievels
over 500 mg/Kg under tests for total mercury. Carbon filters were anaIyzed by Braun
Intertec Labs in August, 1993 after approximately 300,000 lamps had been processed.
The sample contained 16,000 mg/Kg of inercury. Data supplied by the carbon filter
manufacturer indicates a saturation level of 30,000 mg/Kg is achievable prior to
degradation of filter efficiency.
Nothing in the Environznental Light Recyclers, Inc. material separation/recycling process
changes the chemical characteristics of the calcium chloroflorophosphate powder or its
mercury content. Environmental Light Recyclers, Inc. will, therefore, always handle the
collected powder as a hazardous waste.
Removal and testing of the carbon filters will occur after each 400,000 lamps processed
unless ongoing air quality monitoring indicates an increase in mercury emission above .OS
mg/m3. Carbon filters removed from service will always be handled as a hazardous waste.
The three benign by-products yielded by the process are glass, scrap aluminum, and other
lamp metals. These materials will be removed from the facility on a six week cycle.
Environmental Light Recyelers, Tnc. will conduct testing of benign materials at four week
intervals to ensure mercury level safety standards are achieved and maintained prior to
removing the recyclable materials from the facility.
TFST METHODS
All analysis is performed using approved EPA or other accepted methodologies. EPA
method 245.I for total mercury is used for aII glass by-product and carbon filter
evaivation. AnaIytical methods for the metals found in Test Methods for Evcrhiatijtg Solid
Waste SW 8=f6, Thrrd Editiorz are used for evaluation of aluminum and other metal
by-products. The Total Mercury test is used because it is a consistent method for
L�l
monitoring the operating perFormance of the system and meets the full intent of our Waste
Analysis Plan.
�MPLING P�tQCEDURFS
Random samples of glass and metal by-products are taken by Environmental Light
Recyclers, Inc. employees from three different glass containers and from two areas of the
metals container (only one container is filled per month). Samples will be mixed and
placed is sealed sample containers and delivered to laboratories for evaluation.
FRE�UENCY OF TESTING
Analysis of glass, aluminum, and other metals are conducted at four week intervals.
Analysis of carbon filters will occur upon removal. Analysis of calcium
chloroflorophosphate is conducted annually.
CLOSURE PLA�I
� The followin i
g s the closure plan for the Environmental Light Recyclers, Inc. waste lamp
� processing and recycling facility. Closure of this facility will for the most part, be
accomplished through an agreement with USA Lights, a subsidiary of US Environmental,
Rosedale, NIN. Steps in the closure process are as follows:
� 1. Environmental Light Recyclers, Inc. will notify the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission (TNRCC) of its intent to close the facility. The
� closure notice will be submitted in writing to the TNRCC. Closure activities
will begin immediately upon submission of the closure notification.
� 2. Through an existing agreement, USA Lights (see Closure Services
Agreement) will complete the processing of any fluorescent tubes or high
intensity discharge (I�) lamps remaining on the site. This step should take
� no longer than one day because there will be only a one day accumulation of
lamps on site at any time. �
� � 3. USA Lights will remove and properly dispose of all remaining wastes and
by-products from the facility.
� 4. USA Lights will dismantle and decontaminate all process equipment. The
contractor is responsible for any waste generated during the dismantling and
;-� decontamination process. Personnel conducting equipment cleaning will
� adhere to all safety and health guidelines as published in the Waste
Management Summary.
� 5, The facility will be cleaned and wastes (boxes, trash, etc.) will be segregated
for proper disposal.
� 6. Once the facility has been cleaned, wipe samples from the surface of the
floors, walls, and ceiling will be collected and analyzed for mercury. If
nsurface sarnples show mercury contamination, the building will be again
v cleaned and the cleaning wastes or by-products will be tested to determine if
� they are hazardous wastes. An additional round of sampling will be
conducted to determine if any mercury residue remains.
� The process is designed to take the facility out of service and minimize the need for
additional maintenance. The closure procedures will protect human health and the
environment by removing all waste and waste residue to eliminate the possibility of
a post-closure releases of any potentially hazardous waste, e. g. contaminated calcium
phosphate powder.
l!'�
�
Note: Steps 2 through 5 will be performed by USA Lights. A written agreement between
Environmental Light Recyclers, Inc. and USA Lights ensure that these closure steps are
completed.

COI�2�TS :
This inv�stigation was conducted in resaonse to a Texas Industrial Expansian
notification an� to a notification letter ;ahich was re�eived by the Texas
Natural Resource Ccnservation Cammission Region (xNRCC) 4 Office on Ma�� 4.
1995, authorizing Environmental Lig:-it Recyclers, Inc. (ELRI) to operate their
fluorescent light recycling facility und�r Standard Exemptions {SX) 106 and
118. � �
The s�riter arrive�i at the facility at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, January 24,
19?5. t�o escessive visible e:nissions were noted. Mr. Ste�re Remley;
Pres=det�t� and ;ir. Thomas Slatter��, Vice President, were contacted and
apprx�ed of the nature of the investigati�n. �A tour of the facilitp was
conduct�3.
Mr. REmley stated that used fluoresc�nt la�rnvs are considered hazaxdous waste,
ct��e tc �he mercury/calcium phosphate vapar content inside the lamps and tl:at
ELRI purc'r.ased a Resouxce Tech Inc. Modal (RTIM) 2000 to rec�cle these
fiuorescent laraps. Tlie F.TI2� 2000 is an entirely closed machine syste�n which
captures the mercury/calciun: phosphate vapor and it separates the glass,
aiumir.un, and nercury/calcium phosphate vapor. The process is as folloas:
fluorescent lamps are loaded onto a conveyor belt which leads to the Breaker,
the lamNs fall into the Brea�er and break, �he broken fluorescent lamps are
taken to the rotating trommel via a conveyor belt, and the tromme? separates
the g2ass, aluminum, and thz me�cury/calcium phosphate vapor. A vacaum is
used to collect th� mercury/calcitun phosphate vapor £rom the Breaker, the
inlei to the trommel, and the space within the trammel. The mercury/calcium
phcspnate vapor whic:� is collected by the vac+�um passec through nine
cylir.drical filzers, t�ro Hiah Efiiciency Particulate (HEPA) filters, and a 55
aullon ��harcoal filter before it is collected by three 55 gallon dru�s. The
alur�inum ends and the glass zrom �he fluorzscent lamps are coll�cted in
cardboard boxes. All of the coilected material is properly shipped to oth�r
busin��,�es and is used as a recycled product. The RTIM 2000 is located in an
enc?ossd zoom with a closed ventilation system and with a controlled room
temperature oL 72°F because nercury vaporizes at 75'F, and it has a capture
efficiency oz 99.95%. TtYe floor of ti�,e raom was also sealed to prevent any
possibl� contaminaticn.
Mr. R�:niey �aas iniormed that nc er.cessive visible e:�issions aere not�d 3nd
that the aperation of the P,TIM 2000 is in apparent c�mpliance with the �s�
conditions o* S;� 106 and SX 118.

During processing, the area which houses the system is closed off from the remainder of the facility.
1fie room is cooled by a self-contained air conditioning unit. The circulating air in the room and in
the unit is recirculated into the system and then filtered prior to exiting the facility. According to
Mr. Remley, the facility measures the air in the room at the beginning and end. qf each day to
deternune the mercury levels. The fluorescent lamps are loaded onto a conveyer belt which moves
them into the crusher chamber of the system where they are imploded. HID lamps and broken
fluorescent lamps are introduced directly into the crusher chamber. Once imploded, mercury vapor
released is captured. The processing system separates the glass and metal components from the
mercury vapor and calcium phosphate powder through air and sieve filter separation. The system
contains a multi-filtration system through which the mercury vapor is filtered. Once separated, the
light bulb components are collected by containers. The powder is collected in a closed, attached 55-
gallon drum. The glass and aluminum ends are collected in large cardboard boxes. The facility
analyzed the glass and aluminum ends for mercury content. Thre crushed glass analysis reported a
toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) mercury level of 0.002 mg/L and 0.006 mg/L.
The aluminum ends analysis reported a TCLP mercury level of 0.02 mg/L.
Waste Description:
0001319H - Calcium phosphate powder. Powder is recycled for mercury recovery at NSSI in Deer
Park, Texas.
SURROUIVDTNG LAND USE
The facility is locatecl in an area of industrial use in Tarrant County. The area is located in segment
0828 of the Trinity River Basin. The Sycamore Creek, a tributary of the Trinity River, is located
approximateiy 1..375 miies easi of tne iacility.

State Fee Bill Inspection, Conducted November 7, 1995
INTRODUCTION
On November 7, 1995, the writer, accompanied by Sam Barrett of the Re�ion 4 Office contacted
Thomas 7. Slattery, Vice-President; Brian T. Anderson, Director of Facility Development; and
Steven L. Remley, President, all of Environmental Light Recyclers conduct a State Fee Bill
Inspection of the referenced facility located at 2737 Bryan Avenue, Fort Worth, Texas.
GENERAL FACILITY AND WASTE PROCE5S INFORM�iTION
Environmental Light Recyclers is a mercury containing Iamp recycler. The facility accepts
fluorescent lights and high-intensity discharge' (HID) lamps. The facility consists of a warehouse and
an office area. The processing system used to process the lamps is located in the north side of the
warehouse. The north side of the warehouse can be closed from the remainder of the warehouse
during processing. Incoming lamps are unloaded through an entrance on the west wall of the
processing area. The incoming lamps are stored in the southwest wall of the processing area prior
to recycling, According to Mr. Slattery, lamps are normally processed within a 24-hour period from
the time of receipt. The south portion of the warehouse, which is separated from the processing area
by a wall, is used for storage of recyclable materials which exit processing system. These materials
are stored on-site prior to shipment to a facility off-site for subsequent recycling.
The NOR reflects that the is a small quantity generator, a transporter of their own wastes and a
atiansporter "for hire" for hazardous and nonhazardous industrial wastes (Class 1, Class 2 and Class
3). �

The sampling results reflect conditions present on the day of the survey. The survey was
conducted to estimate work exposures and not to determine compfiance or non-
compliance with legal standards. Changes in personnel, .equipment or operations may
impact results. Should changes occur, the process should be re-evaluated.

At the end of each workday, the employees use a High Efficiency Particulate Absolute
(HEPA) vacuum to clean the work area. Once per week, the processing area is mopped
with an amalgam solution. This solution bonds with the mercury contaminated dust that
may be present. The temperature in ihe processing area is kept below 72 degrees
Fahrenheit to help keep mercury vapor formation low. �
Employees wear Tyvek disposable suits, safety glasses, 3M brand half-face with organic
vapor oartridges and HEPA pre-filters, work gloves, rubber boots and foam insert ear
plugs. The ear plugs are Ear Pura Fit brand that are assigned wiih a noise reduction
rating of 29 by the manufacturer.
It must be noted that if processing time increases, eniployee exposure should be
anticipated to increase as well. The current survey was for a processing period of just
over 4 hours. Noise levels were recorded at levels around 86 decibels during that time.
The mercury concentration measured on Tom Slattery was just under the ACGIH-TLV of
0.025 mg/m3, however, the current respiratory protection being properly worn should
provide a protection factor of 10. This would allow an estimated employee exposure of
0.002 mg/m3 to be calculated, which is well below the TLV. Should processing periods
increase to the majority of the work day (greater than 6 hours) or other potential exposure
situations present themselves, the industrial hygiene survey should be repeated.
Air Monitorina
Two of the three processing employees were equipped with Gilian brand Gil Air air
sampling pumps fitted with hopcalite sorbent tubes to monitor mercury vapor exposure.
The samples were started just prior to lamp processing and collected when the
employees finisl�ed housekeeping duties. The pumps were pre and post sampling
calibrated for accuracy.
The insured uses a Jerome brand mercury vapor analyzer in the processing area to
periodically measure mercury vapor concentrations. The measurements observed were
well below 0.025 mg/m3.
Noise Monitorina:
Noise monitoring was conducted on two
� Metrosonic brand personal noise dosimeters
calibrated for accuracy.

The time-weighted average is used for this survey to estimate the employees' 8 hour
noise exposure. The employees' exposure to noise for the remaining portion of the day
was expected to be below 85 decibels as once processing is completed, the employees
complete paperwork or drive to contract location to pick up a load.

Summary:
#110195.r1k
At the request ofi the policyholder, an Industrial Hygiene survey was conducted at the
above referenced facilit}r on October 18, 1995. The survey focused on personal noise
monitoring and air sampling for mercury vapor on two lamp processing employees.
The air samples were within the ACGIH-TLV of 0.025 mg/m3 for mercury. The noise
monitoring results were below the OSHA Action Level of 85 decibels and PEL of 90
decibels for an 8 hour time-weighted average.
No recommendations are being submitted as a result of this survey
Discussion:
Environmental Light Recyclers, Inc., provides fluorescent light recycling services. The
fluorescent lights contain mercury, aluminum, glass and plastic components. The insured
utilizes a Resource Technology model 2000 lamp processor to receiv,e the lamps on a
conveyor, crush them and sort the different articles noted above. The unit is maintained
under negative air pressure to contain the mercury containing du'st and vapor which is
released when the lamps are broken. The unit has a series of 9 treated filters to remove
the mercury contamination. The glass, aluminum and plastic debris will be tested around
once per month to document the lack of hazardous elements and recycled.
Three employees were assigned to the processing area. On the day of the survey, the
company had 5,500 lamps to process. The lamps were packaged 5Q to a box. An electric
forklift was used to transport a pall�t of 6 boxes to a lift which is elevated to the conveyor
height. Two employees manually unloaded the lamps onto the conveyor belt. The third
employee operated the forklift and monitored the unit performance.

Mana�ement Plan ()i�jective.
The objective of Environmental Li�ht Recyclers, Inc. and this mana�ement summary is to
take every possible precaution to ensure that employees of the company and the
environment as a whole are absolutely protected from potential contamination from
by-products produced in this facility. This objective can be best accomplished by attention
and adherence to the procedures hereafter described and those contained in the company's
employee training materials.
Maxerial Handling
The principal hazard mana�ed at this facility is an on goin� one involvin�? broken lamps.
When a lamp breaks, mercury vapor is released. The quantity of vapor increases in direct
proportion to the number of lamps broken. The more lamps t}�at are bro�:en, the greater
the hazard involved. As a practical matter, lamps are often received in broken condition
or are broken in the course of handlin�,; at tl�e plant. The follo�vin�? identification and
breakaae precautions will be used for all incomin�T shipments:
1. Incomin� containers are
� containin� broken bulbs ar
workers wearinQ respirators.
�
inspected for breaka`>e. Those identified as
� marked, wei`�hed, set aside, and opened bti•
2. Crates and other larQe containers are inspected for damay1e prior to unloadin�>
3. Cartons of lamps on pallets are inspected for proper balance to pre�•ent
� tippinQ. If proper loading and balance can not be achieved, unloadin�> of the
pallet will be accomplished one carton or container at a time.
�
I�
4. Lamps broken during handling are immediately collected usin� the processin`7
machine's inte�ral vacuum collection system. �
The principa] rules for handling broken lamps are:
1. Protect the workers.
C
2. Contain the vapors.
3. Collect materials.
�I
C
�',
�J
�
Specific safeguards to protect workers handling broken lamps are as follows:
1. Workers are required to wear protective coveralls, gloves, hearin�
Q protection and safety glasses at all times. These items will not be removed
from the facility.

LJ
C�

[I
�'
2. When worl:ing with a quantity of broken lamps, workers are required to
wear respirators.
3. Workers are not allowed in the office while wearing work clothes. This
prevents mercury from beina transported into this area where it can
inadvertently contaminate unprotected and untrained workers.
4. Office and sales personnel are not allowed in the YELLOtiV striped areas
without protective equipment.
5. Workers are not allowed to eat or smoke in the facility.
hev Point About l�lercury
"Don't breath it, eat it, or share it."
Specific procedures for containment of inercury vapors are as follows:
1. The KEY procedure is to avoid lamp breaka�?e by careful handlin`l.
2. Identify, seal, and mark containers �vith broken lamps for special handfin`J.
3. Use calcium polysulfide wettin� solution on spilled lamp materials to inllibit
vaporization.
4. Keep machine room doors and facility doors closed at all times.
5. Clean floors with trisodium phosphate solution as needed.
6. Mark and Seal all drums of collected phosphate powder.
7. Monitor vacuum system exhaust levels to detect system malfunctions.
Ke�v P�int About Containment.
"If it`s bro�:en, �t's dangerous."

� Full Circle has worked in tandem with many utilities, schools, universities, and large
corporations to recycle ballasts and lamps generated during large retrofitting projects or
customer DSM programs.
�
Federal Reserve Buildin�
� Tom Raggio, Senior Supervisor of Plant Operations (215) 574-6293
Phase I of this program began in 1995 and involved a retrofit in which 10,000 lbs of PCB
a ballasts were removed from one half of the complex. Phase II began in 1997 with the
goal of removing another 15,000 lbs of PCB ballasts from the other half of the building.
Full Circle was chosen to handle this disposal due to the high levels of Insurance and
aspecific permits required by the government. Full Circle had to coordinate a specific
transportation program with the Federal Reserve Buildings' security department

Southland Industries
Steve Fife (562) 424-8638
Southland Industries has audited and approved Full Circle for the recycling and
disposal of their PCB ballasts, non-PCB ballasts, and fluorescent lamps. They have
utilized Full Circle's service for many projects in California, including Edwards Air
Force Base and the University of California, Pomona.
Stanford University
Craig Barney (415) 725-7529
Chris Craig (415) 723-5069
As a result of numerous and simultaneous building projects, Stanford University had
contracted several different contractors to perform work on each building. Instead of
leaving the disposal decision to each contractor, Stanford decided to control it
themselves. This allowed them to have more command over pricing and to limit their
future potential liability. Stanford did a complete financial and facilities audit on Full
Circle and signed a contract with us iri July of 1997. It is estimated that 2000 - 4000
ballasts will be generated monthly.

New Orleans Parish School District. Full Circle coordinated pick ups for each
individual school Uy using a central warehouse for consolidation. The entire project
� lasted 6 months and consisted of 40,000 ballasts.
� Houston Indeyendent School District,
Jim Voeke (713) 676-9300
aFull Circle dealt directly with the school district on this project. We coordinated
container drop offs and lamp and ballast pick ups for a period of one year. This
� particular project generated approximately 100,000 lamps, 25,000 PCB ballasts, and
50,000 Non PCB ballasts.

Drum Scale and Scanner,
All incoming drums are weighed on a 5,000 pound capacity mounted scale
manufactured by Emery scale. The scale is accurate to 0.5 pounds, and is calibrated
every six months Uy Emery. The scale is hardwired to a scanning system, also supplied
Uy Emery, which is hardwired into the Full Circle computer network. Scanning is
accomplished by a handheld bar code scanner. The scanning computer and monitor are
contained by a protective steel stand with a clear viewing window.
Processin� Tables,
The deinanufacturing process is accomplished by custom processing taUles that collect
and distribute ballast components. Double trip 6 inch pneumatic cylinders drive high
grade steel separators which assist technicians in disassembling ballasts. Conveyor
belts hansport separated materials to collection vessels. The tables were designed by
Full Circle and built by Industrial Machine and Tool Corporation. Each machine can
process 10,000 ballasts per day, with a staff of seven operators.
Cryo�enic Storage Area
Freezing unit 40ft long by 8 feet wide by 10 feet tall is capable of storing 80 drums
during the four hour cryogenic processing. The unit has a 4 inch concrete subfloor, 4
inches of insulation, and 4 inch concrete surface. 5 foot by 7 foot swing doors at both
ends provide easy access; doors have internal safety latches. Unit utilizes a 10 hp air-
cooled condensing unit with two electric defrost evaporator coils.
Caustic Bath Unit

Dear Mr. Dong:
FulCircle Ballast Recyclers (FulCircle) requested approval
from the Regional Administrator of Region II of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under the federal
regulations concerning polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), as a
commercial storer of PCB waste. The PCB regulations, found in
Part 761 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(40 C.F.R. Part 761), specify the requirements for approval as a
commercial storer of PCB waste at 40 C.F.R. § 761.65(d).
FulCircle submitted an application to EPA Region II on
October 29, 1992 and a revised application (in response to a
January 24, 1994 request from EPA Region II) on February 2, 1994.
A second revised application was submitted on May 2, 1994
(identified as April 1994 on the cover and amended May 12, 1994
and May 13, 1994). FulCircle is incorporated in New York as
FulCircle Recyclers, Inc. ' �
FulCircle also submitted an application on November 4, 1992
to the Regional Administrator of EPA Region II for an approval
under 40 C.F.R. § 761.60(e) of its process for separating PCB
contaminated potting material from the recyclable metal
components of fluorescent light ballasts which contain PCB Small
Capacitors (PCB ballasts) and recycling those metal components.
The FulCircle recycling facility for which the above
approvals are requested is located at:
509 Manida Street
Bronx, New York 10474
� tINTm ON RECYCLED PAPER
�
- 2 -
EPA Region II grants approval for FulCircle to engage in the

or greater from the components of PCB ballasts at the Bronx, New
York facility. Approval as a commercial storer of PCB waste is
granted pursuant to 40 C.F.R. § 761.65(d)(2). EPA Region II has
determined that FulCircle has satisfied the requirements af
40 C.F.R. § 761.65(d)(2) based on FulCircle's application, EPA
Region II's review of the data in the application documents, and
EPA Region II's July 1992 and March 1994 PCB Compliance
Inspections of the facility. Approval for the separation of PCB
contaminated potting material containing PCBs at concentrations
of 50 ppm or greater from the components of PCB ballasts is
granted pursuant to 40 C.F.R. § 761.60(e).
This approval is subjec� to the terms and conditions of this
letter, the conditions in the appendix of this letter, and the
specifications in FulCircle's application documents.

sends written notification to the Regional Administrator of EPA
Region II of FulCircle's acceptance of the conditions of this
approval. The period of this approval is from the date of the
above referenced notification to EPA Region II until
July 31, 1999.
This approval may be suspended, revoked, modified, or
otherwise altered at any time if evidence indicates a violation
of the conditions of the approval, 40 C.F.R. Part 761, or any
other applicable rules or regulations has occurred; or if it is
determined that implementation of the approval presents an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment.
Failure to comply with the conditions of the approval as a
commercial storer of PCB waste, which includes the conditioris in
this l.etter, its appendix, and the specifications in the
application, constitutes a violation of this approval, issued
pursuant to 40 C.F.R. § 761,.65(d), and a violation of 40 C.F.R.
Part 761, which may result in an enforcement action.
Failure to comply with the conditions of the approval as a

Full Circle utilizes a combination of internal material tracking and quality control, and
independent laboratory testing, to ensure that all materials are appropriately handled.
Full Circle does not maintain an on-site laUoratory for testing of ballast components.
Instead, disposal decisions are based on test results obtained from an independent,
professional laboratory. Fisher Associates Environmental Engineering, Ltd. conducts
PCB wipe tests on metals reclaimed by Fu11 Circle. One random sample is taken from
every 1Q,000 pounds of material. Fisher has been providing same day service for the
analysis of Full Circle's PCB wipe samples since 1994. No material leaves Full Circle's
facility until the test results have been confirmed in writing by Fisher Associates.

Full Circle certifies to all of its customers that its recycled metals are uncontaminated
(mostly undetectable levels, but always less than 100mg/100 cmZ PCBs).
Full Circle conducts sample wipe tests on its floors to ensure that there is no spread of
PCB contamination around the plant. To date, the wipe tests have indicated that the
plant is free of contamination.
Air samples have been taken around the production machinery, production workers
and throughout the entire plan. The laboratory results have never shown detectable
quantities of PCBs.

Full Circle employs a sophisticated computerized material tracking system to establish
clear chain of custody and verify final disposal of all contaminated components. The
system is designed to ensure clear proof of proper disposal for customers and
regulators. All material tracking records and documents are maintained in both
computer files and paper files. Full Circle's Certificate of Recycling and Disposal
specifies the method and location of final disposal, as well as the manifest and
container numbers associated with the shipment. This detailed certificate, backed by
Full Circle's computerized tracking system, provides proof of proper disposal for the
customer's permanent records.

HandlinQ Mercury
A ball valve on the stainless steel cooling traps is unlocked and mercury is
discharged into a metal storage container. The storage container is set inside a
holding container which is placed in the corner of the distiller room.
Distillation Unit
The distillation unit is a unique and patented design. It is based on the simple
principle of separating mercury from waste by heating. The loaded distiller is
evacuated by a carbon-filtered teflon vane mechanical vacuum pump. The
evacuation is done in stages to prevent raising dust in the chamber.
Nitrogen and oxygen are added to the chamber at various stages to limit the amount
of water generated in the process, and to facilitate the combustion of any organic
materials. The temperature of the chamber is raised to �650°C and held for a number
of hours. Mercury vapor driven off the material is passed through an afterburner
which is at a temperature of 1100°C. This afterburner completes the combustion oi
any organics and is especially necessary for battery reprocessing or high mercury
content materials. The vapors from the combustion stage pass through a set of
condensexs that are maintained at �4°C. Metallic mercury is condensed in the traps
and retained in sealed tanks. The distilling and cooling process takes approximately
8-24 haurs, depending on mercurial content of the material.
If there is any problem during the prvicess, the system flashes an alarm. If there is a
threat of inercury in the chamber, a flashing beacon is lit, and the system cannot be
opened without overriding interlocks and entering. an access code. If the alarm
condition is satisfied, the system can be restarted and the process resumed. When the
process is complete, the system indicates that and the existing temperature inside the
chamber. When the chamber cools to 125°C, the chamber can be opened and the 30-
liter containers transferred to the cooling station. At this point, the powder in the

� This letter is to notify you of your USDOT identification Number and to draw
your attention to tha�requirement for tlarking of Commercial Motor Vehiclns
. in sect+on 390.21 of the federal Motor Carrier Safety,Regulations. A copy
of this regulation is enclosed. Its primary purpose is to assist
� enforcement personnel in properly identifying motor carriers, thereby
assuring the submission of accurate data to the FederaT Highway ,
Administration (FHWA). The number also affords the public a way to quickly ,
� and accurately identify a motor carrier operating a particular commercial
motor vehicle.
� If you are operating as a private motor carrier of property in interstate
commnrce, aa a for-hire motor carrier of property in interstate commerce not
subject to regulation by the Interstate Commerce Commission, or as an
interstate motor carrier of migrant workers, this regulation requires you to
� mark all of your "self-propelled motor vehicles" (generally straight trucks
and truck tractors) in accordance with the enclosed.
�
l�l
The following USOOT Identi�fication Number is assigned to the motor carrier
identified above:
uSooz599t43
� This letter is being.•sent to every motor carrier recently added to FHWA
records. There has bten no attempt to differentiate among private� migrant
worker. for-hire. or other types of motor carriers because many carriers
a conduct o.perations in a combination of these classifications. 1f you have
questio�s about compliance with this requirement, please contact the offEce

For-hire motor carriers operating in interstate commerce under authority
issued by the tnterstate Commerce Commission (ICC) are not subject to this
regulation. but are required to mark their vehicles under a similar regulation
issued and enforced by the ICC. The FHWA expects for-hire i�nterstate motor
carriers� subject to its safety jurisdiction, to comply with applicable ICC
vehicle marking requirements. Motor carriers whose operations are both
for-hire and private or some other type of operation (e.g., a private motor
carrier hauling its own products outbaund from its own facility and operating
as a for-hire motor carrier on the �eturn movement) may fulfill the vehicle
marking requirements contained in section 390.21 by displaying thetr ICC
number at all times.
a If you receive more tha one of these letters referencing different USOOT
identification numbers��it is probably because of inergers� acquisitions or
reorganizations that have occurred. but are not yet ref•lected in our records�
� or because divided record authority has been granted and separate numbers were
inadvertently issued. lf you receive more than one letter� you should contact
the FHWA Motor Carrier office shown above to determine which number is most
appropriate. When a determination has been made, please return the other
�� letters to the FHWA Motor Carrier office with a brief explanation as to which
number is being used.
� If this letter is received at a location other than your principai office
(e.g.� a terminal or an area office) the letter should be forwarded to your
principal office. If there has been a change in your motor carrier operation
a name or principal office address� please correct the information at the top of
this letter and return it to the fHWA Motor Carrier office shown above (after
noting your USDOT Identification number).

ELR (Risk Assessment)
1. Purpose: The intent of this program is to identify risks associated with a particular
operation.
2. Scope: Applies to all personnel with ELR.
3. General: The goal of the "Risk Assessment" program is to identify risks associated
with a particular operation and compare these risks against the overall value of the job.
The advantages of "Risk Assessment" for ELR are:
A. Detect risk and hazards before losses. �
B. Provide risk reduction alternatives (change drivers, delay departure times, etc.).
C. Better management decisions.
D. Greater integration of safety.
E. Increase production capabilities.
4. Responsibilities:
A. Supervisors and workers will understand and comply with the Risk Assessment
Program as outlined below :
(1) Risk Identification: Detect hazards and risks associated with the job. This
involves gathering information and completing a close examination of each phase of the
operation to determine the possible risks.

I. PURPO�.
� This Respiratory Protection Program is designed to provide respiratory protection to
Environmental Light Recyclers employees who may be working in areas contaminated
with particulates, vapors, mists, fumes, or other contaminants. The Lamp Processor
� produces possible particulates. Thus, a suitable respirator is �OUIRED to be worn by
employees working around the Lamp Processor while it is in operation or during
� processor maintenance. This Respiratory Protection Program will help insure that the
� proper type protection is provided, used, and maintained appropriately.
�Q Environmental Light Recyclers operations anticipate oxygen deficient atmospheres.
� Should you even SUSPECT AN OXYC'�E•N DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERE. LE.AVE THE
WORK AREA IMMEDIATELY AND REPORT CONDITION IMMF,DIATELY TQ
YOUR SIJPERVISOR._ Many times oxygen deficient atmospheres occur in confined
� spaces. NEVER ENTER A CONFINED SPACE SUSPECTED OF CONTAINING �i
OXYGEN AEFICIEN'L�TMOSPHFRF._
� This "Respiratory Protection Program" promotes engineering controls as far as feasible;
however, when effective engineering control measures are not feasible, then respiratory
a protection becomes necessary. Our personal protective equipment procedures may
include other protective clothing in addition to respiratory protective equipment.

The selection of respiratory protective equipment will be made on the basis if the
products and substances used in each Company operation, the physical form (liquid, gas
powder, solid, etc. ) in which they are used and how they are specifically used.
In selecting the correct respirator for a given circumstance, the following specific factors
will be taken into consideration:
1. Nature of the Hazard In order to make subsequent decisions, the nature of the hazard
� must be identified to ensure that an overexposure does not occur. The following
considerations must be included in this identification:
�
�
�
�
LJ
L�J
a. Oxygen Deficiency.
(1) NTOSH/MSHA approval for supplied-air and air-purifying respirators
are valid only for atmospheres containing greater than 19.5% oxygen. If it is determined
that an oxygen deficient atmosphere may exist, then selection must be made from the two
types of appropriate respirators specified in Figure one.
(2) If oxygen deficiency is not and issue, then the contaminants and their
concentrations must be determined.
b. Physicai Properties of the Hazard.
Physical properties considered include:
-Physical state;
-Particle size;
�
�
�
�1
�
�
-Molecular weight;
-Vapor pressure.
c. Chemical Properties of the Hazard. Chemical properties include:
-Solubility in water and othex liquids;
-Reactivity with other chemicals;
-Hazardous decomposition products.
d. Physiologic Effects on the Body. Determine the toxicological (including
synergistic) effects on the body in terms of:
LI
�
�
�
�!I
I�l
I_�J
-Eye irritation;
-Skin absorption;
-Adverse effects (if any) on olfactory sense.
e. Actual Concentration of a Toxic Compound. If a measurement has been made,
then this is extremely useful information because bounds are established for the degree of
protection necessary. This is used in conjunction with permissible exposure limits to
select the correct respirator.
£ Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL). The permissible exposure limits
� (time-weighted average or ceiling value) is used to establish proper selection. The
concentrations and PEL are compared to protection factors assigned to certain types of
respirators.
�
I�I
g. Warning Properties. If an air -purifying respirator is used for protection
against gas or vapor contaminants, then there must (with limited exceptions) be suitable
warning properties of contaminant breakthrough or respirator malfunction.
(1) Adequate warning properties can be assumed when the odor, taste, or
nirritation effects of the substance are detectable and persistent at concentration at or below
u the PEL.
�
�
L�I
�
�,�'
�I
(2) If the odor or irritation threshold of a substance occurs at
concentrations greater than three times "the PEL, this substance should be considered to
have poor warning properties.
(3) If the odor or irritation threshold is somewhat above the PEL (but not
in excess of three times the limit) and there is no ceiling limit, determine whether an
undetected exposure in this concentration range could cause serous or irreversible health
effects. If not, the substance is considered to have adequate warning properties. In such a
situation, it is expected that environmental concentrations will vary considerably, and
warning of respirator failure would therefore soon be perceived at contaminant
concentrations somewhat above the PEL.
(4) It is important to realize that NIOSH�IVISHA approvals for respirators
generally do not apply to gases or vapors with poor warning properties except where the
device is equipped with an end-of-service life indicator.
2. Nature of the Hazardous Operation. For proper respirator selection, it is necessary to
aknow the details of operations which require workers to use respiratory devices. These
include:
�
'!J
�
L�J
u
- Operation or process characteristics;
- Work area characteristics;
- Materials used or produced during the process;
�
�
L�l
�
�
�
�
�
- Workers' duties and actions;
-Abnormal situation characteristics which may necessitate different respirator
selection; i.e., upset conditions or emergencies.
3. �,ocation of the Hazardous Area• This is important in the selection process so that
backup systems may be planned if necessary. Respirable air locations must be known
prior to entry into a hazardous area so escape or emergency operations may be planned.
4. Time Respiratory Protection Is Rec�uired� The length of time a respirator will have to
be worn by a worker is a factor which must be evaluated. This is most pronounced when
using a Self-Contained breathing Apparatus (S'CBA), where, by definition, the air supply
is finite. Time is also a factor during routine use of air-purifying respirators when worker
acceptance and comfort are essential to ensure proper use of the device.
5. Emplovee's Health. Effective usage of a respirator is dependant on an individual's
ability to wear a respirator, as determined by a physician. Most respiratory devices
increase physical stress on the body, especially the heart and lungs. Care should be taken
to ensure that a medical determination has been made that an individual is capable of
wearing a respirator for the duration of the work assignment.
6. Work Activitv. The type of work activities performed while wearing a respirator is
� vitally important in the respirator selection. The proper respirator will be one which is
least disruptive to the task being conducted yet provides the desired protection.
� 7. �espirator Characteristics. Capabi�ities. and Limitations. Manufactures can provide a
description of various respirator characteristic, capabilities, and limitations.
Q8. Protection factors. The protection afforded by respirators is dependent upon the seal
of the facepiece to the face, leakage around valves, and leakage though or around
cartridges or canisters. Depending on these criteria, the degree of protection may be
aascertained and a relative safety factor assigned. Protection factors are only applicable if
all elements of an effective respirator program are in place and enforced.
�
�
�
a. The protection factor is a ratio of the air contaminant concentration outside the
respirator to the air contaminant concentration outside the respirator face piece. The
higher the protection factor, the greater the degree of protection offered by the respirator.

contaminants to estimate the upper concentration limits to which respirators can be safely
used.

protection for unspecific periods while in the contaminated atmosphere.

All Erivironmental Light Recyclers employees will be trained in the proper use of the
respiratory equipment assigned to or used by them. Periodic refresher training will be
conducted (at least annually) for all Company employees using respiratory equipment
TRAINING WILL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING SUBJECTS:
A. USE OF RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
1. Instruction will be provided in the nature of the exposure, whether acute, chronic,
or both, and an honest appraisal of what may happen if the respirator is not used. This
instruction will also include the type of contaminants to which the wearer may be
exposed.
2. Every respirator wearer will receive fitting instructions including demonstration in
� how the respirator should be worn, how to adjust it, and how to determine if it fits
properly.
u
�
�
'
I
�
L�1
L�I
3. Every respirator wearer will be given an opportunity to handle the respirator, have
it fitted proper1y, test its facepiece-to-face seal, wear it in normal air for a long familiarity
period, and finally, to wear it in a test atmosphere.
4. Each wearer will be tested for fit on a specific iype of respirator. The qualitative
fit method determines the respirator Maximum Use Lirnits based on the simplest fit
testing. An appropriate irritant smoke tube is used to determine if the respirator leaks.
The most common irritant smoke used to test the for is isoamyl acetate which is odorous
but harmless. The Maximum Use Limits from this test are very close to the protection
factors proposed by OSHA. The facepiece-to-face seal can be tested daily by the wearer.
To determine if a proper seal is made, the exhalation valve can be closed off and
exhalation will cause a slight positive pressure buildup in the facepiece without leakage
of air at the seal. Another simple test is to close off the inhalation openings. Inhalation
should then cause the facepiece to collapse and remain collapsed for a few seconds.
S. If more than one type of contaminant is present in the area, the filter cartridge or
canister selection will be reviewed and the wearer instructed of the protection capabilities
of the selected filter, cartridge, or canister.
6. Every respirator wearer will be instructed as to respirator limitations.
a. Respirators will not be worn when conditions prevent a good face seal. Such
a conditions may be a growth of a beard, side burns, a skull cap that projects under the
facepiece, or temple pieces on glasses.
LJ
b. The absence of one or both dentures can seriously affect the fit of a facepiece.

c. The worker's diiigence in observing these factors will be evaluated by periodic
check.
7. To assure proper protection, the facepiece fit will be checked by the wearer each
time he/she puts on the respirator. .
B. AIRBORNE TOXIC CONTAMINANTS
Instruction will be provided as regards contaminants. Airborne toxic contaminarits fall
into two basic categories namely: Particulates and gases or vapors.
1. Particulates include dusts, sprays, fumes, mists, and smokes.
2. Gases are formless fluids that expand to occupy the space or enclosure in which
they are confined. Vapors result when a solid or liquid is converted by heating into a
gaseous state, and is the result of volatilization or sublimation.
C. OXYGEN DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERE
Instruction will be provided as regards oxygen deficiency. An oxygen deficient
atmosphere is one which contains less then 19.5 percent oxygen by volume at sea level.
An oxygen deficient condition may exist in unventilated cellars, wells; lift stations, tanks
or burning buildings.
Oxygen deficiency can occur if a large amount of inert gas such as helium is released into
the work area.
D. TYPES IF RESPIRATORS
Generally, there are two classes of respirators:
*Those which purify the air, or remove contaminants;
*Those to which air or oxygen is supplied.
Instruction will be provided as regards each of these classes.
*AIR PURIFYING RESPIR.ATORS:
Air purifying respirators, as their names denotes, remove the contaminants from the
inhaled air either by mechanical filtration or chemical absorption. The general limitation
placed on all purifying respirators is that they must only be used in atmospheres
�
L�J
J

IJ
containing adequate oxygen to support life. An air purifying respirator consists of a
full-facepiece, half-mask or mouthpiece equipped with an air purifying filter cartridge, or
canister to remove gases, vapors, or particulate matter from the ambient air prior to its
inhalation.
Air purifying respirators can be separated into three categories:
*Particulate removing;
*Gas and vapor removing;
*Combining gas, vapor and particulate removing.
Q 1. Particulate removing respirators, also called mechanical filter respirators, use a
filter media usually in the form of a iibrous material in a cartridge which rerr�oves dusts.
fumes, mists, smoke, or spray particles, and are available in two styles primarily:
�
�
a. Full-Facepiece Respirators, which are normally equipped with a high efficiency
filter cartridge designed to protect against highly toxic particulates;
b. Half-Faced Respirators, which are equipped with one or two filters designed to
protect against nuisance or toxic dusts, fumes, and mists. �
�
Both types of particulate filter respirators are required to have inhalation and
aexhalation valves. The filtering capabililities increase as the filter is used, with a
corresponding increase in the breathing resistance. Not all particulate matter is stable.
Some will hydrolyze and release acid gases while others are volatile, producing vapors.
� Mechanical filter respirators, as such, will not offer protection against gases or vapors. A
combination gas and particulate respirator is necessary.
�
�
2. Gas and vapor removing respirators, also called chemical cartridge respirators,
use cartridges containing chemical filters.
The service life of a cartridge depends upon:
L�I
u
J
�J
*design;
*quality and amount of iill;
*density and packing of fill;
*contaminant concentration;
*user's breathing rate;
*temperature and humidity.
�
J
� a. The Chemical cartidge-type respirators are equipped with one or two cartridges
and inhalation and exhalation valves. If two cartridges are used, the inhalation resistance
a of each cartridge must be balanced so that the cartridges are "used up" at the same rate.
The half-facepiece respirator, one of the most widely used types, fitting under the chin
and over the nose, is used in light contaminant concentrations such as pamt spraying
� operations. The mouthpiece clads is recommenced for escape purposes only. This type
can present problems of jaw fatigue and does prevent the detection of the contaminant by
odor as the nasal passages are closed off.
�
C
�
�
L�J
�
�
�
�
3. Combination vapor and particulate removing respirators use a combination of filtering
arrangements.
a. Gas mask-type respirators, another type of air-purifying respirator used for
many years, can be used effectively to provide respiratory protection against gases,
vapors, and particulates when combined with suitable filters. Gas masks are designed for
use only in atmospheres containing adequate oxygen to support life. Canisters for gas
mask equipment are available in three sizes: The chin-style canister, the industrial size
canister, and the large or supersize canister. Many canisters are available in combination
with a high efficiency particulate filter to remove dust and other particulate matter.
b. Chemical cartridge-type respirators and gas masks should not be used for
protection against:
(1) Oxygen deficiency;
health;
is included.
(2) Concentrations of gases which are immediately dangerous to life or
.
(3) Gaseous materials that are extremely toxic in low concentrations;
{4) Contaminants which are in particulate form unless an appropriate filter
c. A cartridge or canister must be replaced whenever an odor or irritation is
� detected through the device by the wearer, or if the resistance offered to breathing
becomes objectionable. The chemical cartridge respirator or gas mask wearer should
always enter a contaminated area cautiously. If he detects and odor or irritation, or if he
� experiences a difficulty in breathing, feel dizzy, or nauseated, he should move to an
uncontaminated area without removing the equipment and ascertain the cause.
C
L�J
�
Remember, chemical cartridge respirator and gas masks will provide the necessary
protection when:
(1) The hazard is fully assessed;

(2) The proper cartridge or canister is chosen for the particular hazard assessed;
(3) It is used within the maximum use concentrations;
(4) The wearer is trained in its use and limitation and they are never used in areas
that are oxygen deficient or could be oxygen deficient.
In all instances, the cartridge or canister labels and instructions should be read, as they
contain pertinent information as to maximum use concentration, contaminants they
provide protection against, warnings, Bureau of Mines approval, and associated
infozmation necessary to use the equipment in an effective manner.
Whenever a cartridge or canister feels hot, do not assume, as many people do, that it is
not working properly. On the contrary, heat is a sure sign the cartridge or canister is
functioning. All of the chemical reactions within them are exothermic. That is, they give
off heat. If the heat is toward the bottom of the cartridge or canister, a considerable
portion of the service time is remaining. On the other hand, if the heat has progressed
toward the �op, it is time for a change. In case the wearer does not feel any heat, it is
usually evident there is a light concentration of contaminants. Some gas mask canisters
axe available with windows to indicate the condition. When a canister containing a
built-in indicating window shows a color change in the indicating window, the canister
must be replaced even though it may never have been used in a contaminated atmosphere.
Mechanical damage to the cartridge or canister any result in leakage through the wall.
Dented cartridges may result in crushing of the absorbent material and channeling of the
contaminants. In all cases, mechanically damaged or corroded cartridges or canisters
should be xeplaced. The maximum shelf life of a cartridge or canister is variable. The
shelf life is directly related to the storage conditions. Humidity, temperature and changes
in barometric pressure, as well as atmospheric contamination in the storage area, can
decrease the shelf life. Manufacture's instructions/recommendation will be followed.
* AIR SUPPLYING RESPIRATORS
Prior to defining the various types and class o£ air supplying respirators, one should have
an understanding of the basic limitations of atznosphere supplying respiratory equipment.
Equipment which relies solely on an airline supply should not be used in areas
immediately dangerous to life or health unless additional safeguards are employed.
Immediately Dan�erous to Life or Health (IDLH) means conditions that pose an
immediate threat to life or health, or conditions that pose an immediate threat or severe
exposure to contaminants. Not Immediate(y Dan�erous t� T.,ife �r H�a�does not mean
"safe", but zneans any hazardous atmosphere which may produce physical discomfort,
chronic poisoning after repeated exposure, or acute adverse physiological symptoms after
prolonged exposure.

There are three basic types of air supplied respirators: supplied-air, airline supplied
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), and combination SCBA/supplied-air.
AIRLINE SUPPLIED RESPIRATORS:
There are three types of airline supplied respirators:
*Hose mask with blower;
*Hose mask without blower;
*Air-line respirator.
Airline supplied respirators may be used only in non-IDLH atmospheres. The following
is an explanation of these three types:
*A hose mask with blower is equipped with a full facepiece, a non-kinking
breathing tube, a rigged safety harness, a large diameter heavy duty non-kinking air
supply hose, and a motor-driven hand-operated blower. The breathing tube and hose are
securely attached to the harness. A check valve allows air flow only toward the
facepiece. The facepiece is fitted with an exhalation valve. Up to 300 feet of hose is
permissible. �
* A hose mask without blower is similar to that above, except it has no blower. It
has up to 75 feet of hose filled at the inlet with a funnel or similar object. The funnel is
covered with a fine mesh screen to prevent entry of large particulate matter. The wearer
provides the motivating force to pull air through the hose.
*An ail-line respirator has a small diameter hose (air-line) connected to a
compressor or air cylinders. The air-line is attached to the wearer and can be detached
rapidly in an emergency. A flow control valve or orifice is provided to govern the rate of
airflow to the wearer. Exhaled air passes to the ambient atmosphere through a valve, or
valves, or an opening in the faceepiece, hood, or suit. Up to 250 feet of air-line is
permissible. There are three basic classes of airline respirators: constant-flow,
demand-flow, and pressure-demand-flow. The following is an explanation:
> Continuous flow class respirators _ are equipped with a half-mask or
full-facepiece, or a helmet (as for abrasive blasting) or hood covering the wearers head
and neck. At least 4 cubic feet or air per minute is required when using tight fitting
facepieces and 6 feet of air per minute is required when using loose fitting hoods and
helmets.
> Pressure flow class respirators are usually equipped with a half-mask or
full-facepiece. A demand valve is activated on initiation of inhalation which decreases
�
u
�
n
the pressure in the facepiece and permits the flow of respirable air to the facepiece. On
exhalation, pressure in the facepiece goes slightly above ambient and deactivates the
demand valve.
> Pressure/demand flow class respirators are usually equipped with a half-mask or
� full-facepiece. � A slight pressure is maintained in the facepiece at all times by a
spring-loaded or balance regulator and retained in the system by a compensating
exhalation valve.

C
SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS:
A self-contained breathing apparatus is a respirator having a supply or means of
supplying a respirable environment and is carried by the wearer. This type provides
respiratory protection against toxic atmospheres and oxygen deficiency. Normally a11 are
equipped with a full-facepiece; however, some depending on the situation, may be
equipped with a half-mask or a mouthpiece. There are four basic types of SCBA:
oxygen-cylinder rebreathing; self-generating iypes; demand; and pressure-demand.
The duration of the apparatus will depend on such factors as:
1. The degree of physical activity of the user;
2. The physical condition of the user;
3. The degree to which the user's breathing is affected by excitement, fear or
other emotional factors;
4. The degree of training or experience which the user has had with this or similar
equipment;
5. Whether or not the cylinder is fully charged at the start of the work period;
6. The atmospheric pressure;
7. The condition of the apparatus.
E. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
a Instruction will be provided as regards proper respiratory protective equipment
maintenance. Respiratory protective equipment will be properly maintained. Poorly
maintained respirators may not function properly. In some cases, the wearers (unaware
� that their respirators are malfunctioning) may depend on the device for protection when
the respirator is totally incapable of handling the problem. Respirators will be kept clean
and sanitary. The filters or cartridges will be replaced frequently. The frequency depends

VI. FIT TESTTNG
The following will be utilized for fit testing of all respiratory protective equipment:
A. A respirator must be comfortable and properly fitted to the person to provide
adequate protection. An employee to be fitted with a respirator will be permitted to select
the most comfortable respirator from a selection of sizes from different manufacturers.
He/she will be shown how to put on a selected respirator using the manufacturer's
instructions. Respirator position on the face, strap position and tension and corrifort will
be covered. A mirror will be provided.
B. The selected respirator will be put on by the user. The user will have it
properly adjusted and test its facepiece-to-face seal by the positive and negative pressure
face-fit methods. See "C" and "D" below. He will wear the respirator in normal air for at
least five minutes for familiarization and to assess its comfort before it is worn in a test
atmosphere. A qualitative fit test procedure will then be administered. See "E" below.
C. Positive Pressure Face-fit Test. Place the palm of the hand or the thumb over
the exhalation valve cover and exhale gently. If the face piece bulges slightly and no air
leaks between the face and face piece are detected, a proper fit has been obtained. If air
leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on the face and readjust the tension of the
straps. Repeat this procedure until a tight seal is obtained.
D. Negative Pressure Face-fit Test. Place the palms of the hands over the open
areas of the cartridge caps, inhale gently and hold your breath for five to ten seconds. If
the face piece collapses slightly, a proper fir has been obtained, If air leakage is detected,
reposition the respirator on the face and readjust the straps and repeat the procedure until
a tight seal is obtained.
E. (Example) Qualitative Fit Test Procedures.
1. Isoamyl Acetate (Banana odor) Test.
a. The test subject will put on his respirator and perform the
positive and egative pressure face fit tests.
b. The respirator will be equipped with organic vapor cartridges.
� c. The test subject will be given a copy of the following test
exercises and "Rainbow Passage" or other equally effective passage which will
adequately test the effects of talking on the fit test.

"Rainbow Passag�"
� When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act like a prism and form of a
rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors. These take
the shape of a long round arch, with its path high above, and its two ends appaxently
beyond the horizon. There is, according to legend, a boiling pot of gold at one end.
People look, but no one ever finds it. When a man looks for something beyond reach, his
friends say he is looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
d. A iit check ampoule of Isoamyl Acetate (IAA) shall be broken
and the ampoule passed around the test subject's face and respirator while he performs the
test exercises and reads the Rainbow Passage. Each exercise shall be performed for at
least one minute.
e. If the test subject detects the banana-like odor at any time during
the test procedure the test has failed. The subject shall leave the test area, return to the
selection area free of the IAA odor, select and put on another respirator and repeat the
IAA test pt�ocedure.
£ When a respirator is found that passes the IAA test, the test
subject breaks the face seal and takes a breath in the test area. This is to assure that the
reason the test subject is not smelling the IAA is a good fit of the respirator and not sense
of smell fatigue.

Persons will not be assigned to tasks requiring use of respirators unless it has been
determined that they are physically able to perform the work and use the equipment. A
local physician will determine what health and physical conditions are pertinent. The
respirator user's medical status will be reviewed annually.
The examination by the local physician will include but not be limited to tests such as a
� medical history, pulmonary functions tests, and possibly an electrocardiogram depending
upon what information is developed in the medical history. The condition of tests on the
heart is a medical judgment for each individual and should not be considered to be

INSPECTION:
Respiratory protection is no better than the respirator used, even though it is worn
conscientiously. Regular inspections will be conducted by the supervisor (a qualified
individual) to insure that respirators are properly selected, used, cleaned, and maintained.
All respirators will be inspected routinely by the wearer before and after each use. A
respirator that is not routinely used but is kept ready for emergency use will be inspected
after each use and at least monthly by the supervisor to assure that it is in satisfactory
working condition. Self-contained breathing apparatus (if any) will be inspected monthly
by the supervisor. Air and oxygen cylinders will be fully charged according to the
manufacturer's instructions. It shall be determined that the regulator and warning devices
function properly. Respirator inspection will include a check of tightness of connections
and condition of the facepiece, headbands, valves, connecting tube, and signs of
deterioration. Stretching and manipulating rubber or elastomer parts with a massaging
action will keep them pliable and flexible and prevent them from taking a set during
storage. A record will be kept of all inspections, dates and findings.

SUBJECT AWARD OF CONTRACT TO =NVIRONMENTAL LIGHT RECYCLERS, INC. FOR LIGHT
AND FLUORESCENT LIGHT BALLAST RECYCLING
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the transfer of $23,746 from the Undesignated Division of the Environmental Management
Operating Fund to the Light and Ballast Recycling Project within the Environmental Management
Project Fund; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Environmental Light Recyclers, Inc. for light
bulbs and fluorescent light ballast recycling at a total cost not to exceed $23,746. This agreement
will begin November 1, 1999, and end October 31, 2000, with two successive one-year terms at the
City's option.
DISCUSSION:
Various City departments, including Aviation, Transportation and Public Works, and Parks and
Community Services, utilize over 20,000 light bulbs per year. These bulbs include incandescent,
fluorescent, and high intensity discharge bulbs. The City is responsible for ensuring these bulbs are not
disposed of in a landfill because they are hazardous; therefore, the Environmental Management
Department advertised for an outside contractor to collect and recycle these lights.
The Request for Proposal was advertised in the Fort Worth Star-Tele4ram on September 9 and 16,
1999. On September 23, 1999, the City received a proposal only from Environmental Light Recycle�s,
Inc. Staff evaluation of the proposal found the unit prices to be reasonable.
The final contract price will be determined by the actual quantity of materiats sent for recycling to the
contractor, per the unit prices in the proposal. Because of variability in the amount and type of waste, a
not to exceed amount has been set at $23,746.
This contract may be renewed for up to two successive one-year terms at the City's option. This action
does not require specific City Council approval, provided that the City Council has appropriated
sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term.
The cost of these services will be paid for from revenues generated by the Environmental Protection
Fee.
M/WBE participation was waived on this project. Under the Interlocal Governmental Contract for
Purchasing (City Secretary Contract No. 24323), Tarrant County will also be utilizing these services.
