Summary

Supreme Asset Management and Recovery accepted hazardous waste without a permit, failed to provide documentation (manifests) for the waste; did not contain leaks from lead acid batteries; did not package fluorescent light bulbs properly, did not manage/contain hazardous waste dust in trailers. The order accordingly directs that Respondents handle and store the waste in a manner that minimizes the release of mercury and other hazardous substances. It specifies that Respondents cease accepting crushed bulbs, inventory the stock of crushed and intact bulbs, use an EPA approved hazardous waste transporter to send all bulbs to a RCRA treatment, storage or disposal facility or to a previously approved authorized destination facility, and keep manifests of such shipments. Respondents must ensure that employees handling the bulbs are properly protected against potential mercury contamination. In addition, the order requires that Respondents store spent batteries in structurally sound containers that protect the contents and clean up any prior leaks or discharges.
