Hazardous Waste Facility
Renewal Permit Issued


The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) issued Berkeley Lab a new permit to operate its Hazardous Waste Handling Facility (HWHF) for another 10 years. Specifically, the DTSC denied the Committee to Minimize Toxic Waste’s appeal of Berkeley Lab’s renewal of its permit to operate the HWHF. In issuing the denial of the appeal, DTSC resolved all final challenges to the new permit. The permit will not change how hazardous and mixed waste generators handle their waste, but will allow the Lab’s Waste Management Group staff to operate more efficiently and with less burdensome requirements. The HWHF (Building 85) had been operating since May 2003 under a previous permit.

Berkeley Lab’s 33 security guards will be wearing new uniforms beginning tomorrow when Landmark Protection Corporate Security of San Jose takes over the site security contract. The acquisition assists the Lab’s – and the Department of Energy’s – goals for small business contracting. Landmark President Dan Miranda said his award-winning company has 20 accounts in the Bay Area. Lab Security manager Dan Lunsford, noting that the switch will be transparent to most employees, praised former contractor Allied Barton for outstanding professional service. Jim Breckinridge will continue as site access manager. Go here to learn more about Landmark.
