SUBJ: Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI) Smith and Nephew Company EPA ID: TND980729255
Dear Ms. Hughey:
On March 10, 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, along with the Tennessee Department of Environmental Conservation (TDEC) conducted a CEI at Smith and Nephew, Inc. located in Memphis, Tennessee to determine the facility's compliance status with RCRA and applicable regulations.
Enclosed is the EPA RCRA inspection report. Deficiencies of RCRA were discovered during the CEI. Corresponding data has been entered into RCRAInfo and this matter is being referred to the TDEC for further review. Please follow-up with the Smith and Nephew, Inc. to ensure the deficiencies have been addressed and update RCRAInfo with corresponding information. Pursuant to the Hazardous Waste Civil Enforcement Response Policy, the facility appears to be a secondary violator.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Daryl Himes, of my staff, by phone at (404) 562-8614 or by email at himes.daryl@epa.gov.
Sincerely,
