I was surprised a number of years ago when I first found out the types =
of
hazardous waste that could be generated at these facilities (some =
including
chlorinated solvents). I recall seeing a guide on this industry (EPA or =
some
other federal agency). I have not been able to find a copy. They should =
be on
your radar as a potential generator of haz waste. Many counties do look =
at
these facilities. There are about 600 in the database that have been
identified.=20

I am passing your email to the sqg program list serve in hopes that =
other
counties may have additional comments and suggestions. Thanks Glen

I know acetone wipers from nail salons have surfaced in past =
discussions, and
at least once at the State Conference, but I have never heard of a =
decision
or consensus on whether we should be addressing them via inspections.
Probably because the subject got some chuckles when it was raised.

=20

However, nail salons are one of those businesses that seem to exist at =
least
one to a commercial block.  Our occupational license database lists =
nearly
300 such salons, and many are installing tanning beds as adjunct =
businesses.

=20

I recently inspected a tanning salon for lamp management, found they did
nails and chatted with the owner about how much acetone they used.  He =
had
approximately 48 gallons in one gallon jugs on his supply shelf and =
indicated
it would last "a couple months".  Who knows how many pounds of =
absorbents
each one generates, but I suspect they would compete heavily with any =
decent
body shop.

=20

I have also asked the Florida Department of Cosmetolgy for the number of
licensed practitioners in Sarasota County as well as state-wide to see =
if I
can extrapolate pounds (tons) of disposed wipers.  I'll keep you posted =
on
this if you're interested.=20

=20

Meanwhile..... Has the state taken a position on this waste?

Thanks,
