Question 1: We need the definitions of the UOMs (CO, JB, LT, etc) Answer:

Question 3: What do they mean this needs to include, bulking, segregating, etc – are we providing onsite packaging, or does agency mean back at the disposal site?

Answer: The waste is packaged onsite for transport when they come onsite, it must be segregated by compatibility (segregated) and some waste streams are bulked.

Question 4: ER Labor – what exactly is this for ? spills on site? Could it be bio-waste responses?

The disposal facility also enters an electronic signed copy into the myRCRA site. Certificates of destructions are provided by the contractor.

Question 9: Certs of recycling – who will be tracking these down for them as they will be all 3rd party facilities?
