PUBLIC NOTICE – 421
Etowah County
Clean Earth of Alabama (CEA) submitted to ADEM an application for modification of its operating permit for treatment, storage, and off-site disposal of hazardous waste at its facility (EPA I.D. Number ALD 981 020 894) located at 402 Webster Chapel Road, Glencoe, Alabama. The Department has determined the facility’s modification application to be complete and has prepared a draft permit in accordance with State regulations.
CEA processes industrial wastes including, but not limited to, paints, lacquers, thinners, waste petroleum products, petroleum by-products, aerosols, inks, resins, adhesives, petroleum distillates, solvents (halogenated and non-halogenated), organic chemicals and by-products, various alcohols, waste contaminated material and residues in its waste storage, blending and processing facility. Waste materials are delivered to CEA in bulk and/or various container sizes and either processed, blended and consolidated and/or stored in various container sizes or tanks on site or processed and shipped off site to an approved, permitted disposal facility. Clean Earth of Alabama is the owner and operator of the facility. The reason for the modification is to add a second identical shredding unit that will be located next to the first shredder inside Building #2.
Please note that, in order to affect the final permit decision, both written and oral comments must offer technically substantial information that is applicable only to the portions of the permit addressed by the proposed modification.
Copies of the fact sheet, permit modification application and draft AHWMMA permit are available for public inspection electronically via http://adem.alabama.gov/newsEvents/publicNotices.cnt and at the following location Monday – Friday (except legal holidays) during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. A nominal fee for copying and/or mailing may be charged.
