<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Hi Cheri and others,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I respect your opinion, but I have to disagree with your
statement that “Hazardous Waste disposal is safer disposal method than a
Waste-to-energy facility”. A hazardous waste incinerator does
effective destroy waste pharmaceuticals, but is not necessarily the best method
of disposing of waste pharmaceuticals environmentally. Yes, the hazardous waste
incinerator is operated at a higher temperature, but just because it is higher
does not mean it is better. Typically a modern US WTE facility is combusting
the solid waste at approximately 2500<sup>o</sup>F and the waste is in the
boiler for approximately 45 minutes, more than is necessary to destroy organic
compounds. Higher temperature combustion increases the likelihood that a
greater amount of nitrous oxides gases(NOx) are being generated and thereby
also needing to be removed or potentially emitted into the atmosphere. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>A high percentage of the pharmaceutical waste is solid waste,
not hazardous waste and is best handled in a facility designed to destroy that
waste. Waste to Energy Facilities and Hazardous Waste incinerators are very
similar in their air pollution control technology, they both have combustion
controls to assure temperature and residence time minimums; acid gas scrubbers
for SO<sub>2</sub>, HCL and HF gases; baghouses for particulate control;
continuous emission monitors; activated carbon injection; and active NO<sub>x</sub>
emission control. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Boiler temperatures vary in both types of facilities due to
varying waste types, but regulatory minimums are always achieved with
additional air or fuel. Both types of facilities are monitored continuously
(every 15 seconds) for the same items. Hazardous waste incinerators are
typically required to do a stack test twice a year vs. a WTE Facility with only
once a year. Modern Hazardous waste incinerators and WTE Facilities that are in
compliance with MACT regulations are clean and do an effective job in
destroying waste pharmaceuticals so they don’t cause any environmental
problems. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>The big difference in the facilities is that a WTE facility
generates energy vs. a hazardous waste incinerator which uses large quantities
of energy. A hazardous waste incinerator utilizes large quantities of fossil
fuels (natural gas, propane, used fuel oil, virgin fuel oil) to maintain high
temperature in a refractory lined fire box or rotating kiln. A Waste-to energy
facility combusts solid waste in a heat recovery boiler with a self sustaining
fire, recovers the heat in the form of high pressure/high temperature steam and
typically generates electricity utilizing a steam turbine/generator. Contrary
to your assertion, temperatures are very consistent in a modern WTE facility
and probably vary less than a hazardous waste incinerator that destroys liquids
and wet solids. For these items, more fuel is necessary to maintain a minimum
temperature to assure destruction.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>The ash from the Spokane WTE facility has not been a problem, it
contains items that do not burn, glass, metals and dirt. Spokane tests it’s
ash quarterly for the last 18 years and disposed of it in an ash monofill. The
important issue is that all the organics are destroyed. Globally, EPA
classifies WTE facilities as a greenhouse gas reducer because it avoids methane
generation from landfills; generates energy that would have been generated by
fossil fuels; and recycles metals from the ash. Generally every ton of waste
combusted, reduces the greenhouse gas emissions in the environment by 1 ton eCO<sub>2</sub>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I think the biggest impediment for the proper disposal of waste
pharmaceutical is cost. Not recovering the energy value in the waste and
utilizing fossil fuels to destroy the waste is expensive and unnecessary. The
cost to incinerate at $1.00/lb. is equivalent to $2000.00/ton. Spokane charges
$165.00/ton or 8.25 cents/lb. Spokane’s regular garbage rate is
$98.00/ton. Please keep in mind that the majority of waste pharmaceuticals are
in the garbage and are processed effectively daily in communities that have WTE
Facilities. There are over 89 facilities in the USA, we need to support these
facilities and encourage them and the communities to take waste pharmaceuticals
and avoid the not in my backyard attitude. Also note that Covanta has committed
free destruction for only 2010, but to be fair, it is not free, someone is
paying.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Energy, a world leader in the development, ownership and operation of

rolling out a national program to process pharmaceuticals collected by local
governments in drug take-back programs. These programs provide residents with a
safe and proper way to dispose of unwanted medications, including prescription
drugs, over-the-counter and veterinary medications and nutritional supplements.
When flushed down the drain, or disposed of in landfills, such products
contaminate surface waters and have an adverse effect on the environment.</span><span

We want to help prevent the discharge of these drugs into the waters that we

G. Waffenschmidt, Vice President, Environmental Science and Community Affairs.
"Our facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art combustion controls and
air pollution control equipment to ensure the destruction of these drugs in an
environmentally sound manner, one that protects the water we depend upon day in
and day out. Our facilities ensure that any pharmaceuticals processed in them
do not end up in surface waters." </span><span style='font-size:

this kind of destruction. Thermal destruction at Energy-from-Waste facilities,
