RE:Close Out LetterCompliance Evaluation InspectionUTR000015917
Dear Ms. Proctor:
On May 8, 2024 representatives of the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control conducted a compliance evaluation inspection at your facility. The scope of the inspection was
to determine compliance with the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Rules.
The inspectors noted the following compliance issue:
In accordance with R315-266-508(a)(2)(ii)of the Utah Administrative Code (UAC), “A healthcare facility shipping non-creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals shall write either the
word “PHARMS” or PHRM” in Item 13 of EPA Form 8700-22. Amerisource Bergen had failed to mark their pharmaceutical waste with the word PHARMS or PHRM.
Amerisource Bergen has registered as a small quantity generator until they can accurately prove to be a very small quantity generator. Amerisource Bergen has amended their hazardous
waste generation spreadsheets to accurately reflect pharmaceutical waste and RCRA waste.
As a result of this corrective actionyour facility is considered to be in compliance with the applicablerules.
Please be aware that starting in 2021, all small quantity generators must re-notify using EPA form 8700-12 every four years in accordance with R315-262-18 of the Utah Administrative
Code.
If you have any questions, please call Sally Kaiser at [phone].
Sincerely,
Deborah Ng, Program Manager
