Wade,

Attached is a Traffic Impact Study that was performed for the Stericycle Transfer Facility.

Also attached is the response from the City of North Salt Lake following their review of that completed study and report.

It is my understanding that the traffic study was the major outstanding requirement in response to UDWMRC’s comments
on Stericycle’s permit application and responses to DWMRC comments.

Perhaps the next step for the permit approval process should be for the Utah DWMRC and Stericycle to again meet and
go over whether there are any additional items needed to be provided to DWMRC following the prior response from
Stericycle and this submission of the attached files regarding the traffic study.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!

Hi Jay,
Thank you for sending this over! There are just a few more things that need to be added to the plan of operations to meet
all the regulations:
a facility/site map, aerial photo, or blueprint
a schedule of any new construction or facility redesign
specifications on how and where daily records (weights or volumes and types of waste transferred, deviations from
plan of operation, training, inspection log) will be kept.
Once you've also added the above information to the Plan of Operations, resubmit it to us by emailing it to
[e-mail]. The additions are pretty small and simple, so I don't think we need to have a meeting to discuss
it unless you do.
As per Brian's email, be sure to email the traffic study and city response to [e-mail] as well. They won't be
considered officially submitted unless sent through that address.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks,
Wade

Wade,

Thank you for this information. This is very helpful.

I’ll be putting those items together and Stericycle will submit the revised Operations Plan as well as a formal submission
of the traffic study.

Just FYI …
Closure activities for the incinerator facility are progressing well: The incinerator and ancillary equipment,
including the combustion chambers, conveyors, stacks, air-pollution control systems have been removed from the
site and required samples have been taken with results below regulatory thresholds. Sump holes have been
cleaned out, filled, and resurfaced with concrete. The next major steps are to do the surface cleaning and
complete disposition of material. A report with required signature will be submitted following completion of these
closure activities.

Thanks again for your help with the Transfer Facility permit application. We should be good to proceed without meeting,
unless something unexpected come up.

Have a great day!

Happy to hear the updates on the closure! Sounds like a lot of progress has been made. I'm sure I'll be there in the next
couple of months to see it in-person.
Be sure to reach out if any plan of operations questions come up.
