About this file
This is a Universal Waste Inspection Report prepared by Criterion Laboratories, Inc. for Horsham Township, Pennsylvania, regarding a building located at 1121 Horsham Road in Ambler, PA. The inspection was conducted on November 6, 2025, by Industrial Hygienist Alexis Richards and documented by Senior Project Manager Eric Wysocki, with the report finalized on September 16, 2026. The inspection assessed the presence of hazardous materials including Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), mercury, freon, and other universal waste materials within the building. The inspection identified significant quantities of hazardous materials requiring proper handling and disposal in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Universal Waste regulations, Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, and applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
The inventory of universal waste materials documented throughout the building includes 128 mercury-containing fluorescent light bulbs distributed across multiple floors, 5 mercury-containing thermostats, 18 paint cans containing solvents, 1 refrigerant-containing vending machine, and 1 wood burning stove containing heavy metals and creosote. All identified materials require specialized handling: fluorescent bulbs and thermostats must be containerized for recycling or disposal at Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permitted facilities; refrigerants must be recycled prior to disposal; the wood stove requires thorough cleaning before disposal; and paint cans should be dried or disposed of at a household hazardous waste site. This inspection supports the related demolition project (26-01054) for the property by documenting the universal waste removal requirements prior to the planned residential home demolition.
