Documents
Required for Waste Approval and Shipment
EMI requires that
each new shipment of waste oil contaminated material that
is proposed for storage at the facility be accompanied by
a properly executed and approved "Waste
Profile Form (WPF)". EMI requires that the
Generator or his/her authorized representative complete
and sign the WPF. The need for analytical testing of these
waste streams may be waived based on the generator’s
knowledge of the waste source. EMI will issue a EMI
Authorization number for the waste stream prior to
scheduling and acceptance of the waste at the EMI
facility.
Proper
shipping papers must accompany all wastes received at EMI.
EMI accepts nonhazardous materials on a bill of lading,
nonhazardous waste manifest or hazardous waste manifest
(using appropriate nonhazardous designation or waste
code). All waste oil transported into EMI from
out-of-state must be accompanied by a manifest.
EMI-approved transporters must examine their shipping
papers to determine accurate drum counts, quantities,
waste types, approval numbers, etc. to detect any
discrepancies that could be corrected prior to arrival at
EMI. Only shipments accompanied by proper/complete
shipping papers, WPF, and EMI approval number are accepted
at EMI.

Acceptance,
Treatment and Disposal of This
Waste Stream
EMI accepts oily
solids/sludge from various generators and sources.
The pre-approval process for waste oil contaminated
material includes review of the "Waste
Profile Form" and laboratory analysis, if
requested by EMI.
Containerized
nonhazardous waste is placed into the drum storage area,
or in a box trailer, pending consolidation and bulking
operations. Sludge materials are solidified into solid
waste using sawdust, sand, kiln dust, or other inert
solidification/bulking materials to absorb free liquids.
Consolidation and bulking operations take place in secure
and watertight mixing container. Solidified material is
then loaded into roll-off containers, bulk trailers, or
other suitable conveyances for temporary on-site storage
pending over the road transportation to an approved
disposal/recycling facility. Materials are shipped
off-site for waste to energy recovery, aggregate
recycling, use as a supplemental fuel, or for landfill
disposal.
