Pr - APR 3 1985 . BOOK 60 F�v7r 421 Mr. Brooks commented that waste oils, which are included, are not, at this point considered hazardous waste, but he believed they will be in the future. He further cautioned that this survey was sent out to a lot of conscientious businessmen who answered it to the best of their ability, and possibly some have identified themselves as producing hazardous waste incorrectly. On Exhibit V, for example, under the category sludge with heavy metals, it is indicated that 200,000 lbs. of hazardous sludge with heavy metals is disposed at the Landfill. As it turns out, this actually is domestic sludge from a mobile home park; so, that figure is inaccurate. Also possibly some paints are latex and are not hazardous. Commissioner Bowman noted that even if the paint is water soluble, it may contain something else hazardous, but Mr. Brooks felt it just has chemicals that do not present any problem. Chairman Lyons believed waste oil does contain some bad chemicals and did not know why it is not considered hazardous. He noted a tremendous amount of waste oils is disposed of down the sewage system, etc., and did not know how this can be controlled. Mr. Brooks felt it is recognized that small quantity generators are hard to control and that is why the burden has been put on local government. Commissioner Wodtke inquired if deep well injection is not considered hazardous and Mr. Brooks stated that it is not so considered. Mr. Brooks then specifically addressed what progress has been made in satisfying the six requirements listed. as follows: 1) Notification has been accomplished, and the tables are a result. 2) Staff has identified most of the dump sites in the county and inspected them. 3) The Landfill operations have been evaluated and a report is in the draft stage. 4) Staff presently is in the process of performing on-site inspections to verify the information submitted in the survey S 56
