This was an EPA lead inspection.
8) Facility Description
The facility most recently notified FDEP on February 10, 2023, as a large quantity generator of hazardous waste, an operating commercial treatment, storage, and disposal facility, a large quantity handler of universal waste, a destination facility for universal waste, a transporter of universal waste, a mercury recovery and/or reclamation facility, and a transporter of hazardous waste. The facility originally received EPA ID FLR000070565 on February 17, 2011. The facility began lamp processing operations at this location on July 11, 2012. The RCRA permit [309339-004-HO] was issued on August 2, 2022, to operate a mercury containing lamp and device storage and recovery facility. The permit expires on July 6, 2027. LR employs 27 people with operating hours from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., Monday to Friday. LR is connected to the municipal wastewater collection and potable water systems.
LR is permitted to operate a mercury containing lamp and device storage and recovery facility. The storage of mercury containing lamps are limited to 139,104 T-12 lamps. Total storage of processed glass is limited to a maximum volume of four 20-yard roll-off containers, or 120,000 pounds (lbs.). Total storage of processed metals is limited to a maximum of 12,000 lbs. or sixty 55-gallon drums. Maximum storage capacity of phosphor powder is limited to 24,000 lbs. or thirty-two 55-gallon drums. Universal waste coming into the facility is off-loaded at one of two loading docks and placed inside the warehouse where the number of containers described on the shipping papers are counted to verify the number of containers delivered by the trucking company. Once verified, intact lamps are moved to rows 1 through 9 in the warehouse, crushed lamps are moved to Row 10, and other materials are placed in open rows 1 through 9, as space is available. Weighed electronics for recycling are stored on the loading dock. A written log is maintained identifying the shipping paper number, the generator of the waste, the date the waste arrived onsite, and the date the waste was verified. Universal waste batteries are stored along the
