SANITATION [1] Resource Demand Points are a relative measure of the amount of resources needed to service a given facility. For a baseline, we use the amount of resources needed to service a Small Food Facility.
[2] Clients with unresolved sanitation hazards require additional time for participation in hearings and other proceedings. This may necessitate additional fees.
[3] Chlorination testing, construction plan review, additional inspections, consultations, etc.
CHEMICAL WASTE [1] No change to methodology. Adjusted for rising regulator fees and contractor/vendors costs. Direct administrative support costs minimized via collections automation and client control of accounts.
To accommodate C&G rules - recharges are implemented near the time of service based on estimated costs to be adjusted upon receipt of accurate vendor bills (sometimes greater than 60 days).
Unknowns (1)* - This fee is based on our existing labor rate and an approximation of the average staff time needed for processing these items.
[2] In order to simplify the recharge process, the following waste streams have been combined into one consolidated waste stream: Lab chemicals; Reactives and non-recyclable mercury;
Contaminated Debris and sharps; Consolidated solvents, pants, oils and misc liquids; and batteries.
[3] Special projects include construction support, laboratory decontamination, clean-outs and off-site waste pickups (contracted out as appropriate).
Extraordinary waste includes non-routine waste for which a pre-established disposal rate does not exist.
Extraordinary Waste - Cylinders (3)* - This fee is based on our existing labor rate and an approximation of the average staff time needed to process a cylinder.
[4] EH&S Technician and Specialist support for Special Projects: This rate is used in cases where vendor support is either unavailable or is inappropriate for a particular project. This rate may also be used when the markup amount for vendor-supported projects (see line item 2) significantly exceeds the amount of staff time needed to support a particular project.
The decision to use EH&S labor, or to apply this rate in conjunction with a vendor-supported project, shall be made at the discretion of the EH&S Hazardous Materials Manager. |
