Centerville, MA 02632
Dear Ms. Fazzio:
I am writing as a follow-up to my letter of April loth and your response of April le. In our
conversation, it was my understanding that you would not activate the photo-developing machine
at the above location until we had an opportunity to resolve such matter amicably.
This afternoon I was informed by the competitor tenant in the Shopping Center that this machine
is in operation.
I am concerned with your possible violation of the lease, but more particularly with the improper
disposal of toxic chemicals into the septic system.
I am writing to inform you that unless you refrain from this development operation until this

HAZARDOUS WASTE INFORMATION FOR PHOTOPROCESSORS
[SIC = 7384)
from Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)
If you have a spent photoprocessing solution, you have a silver-
bearing waste which is classified by state and federal law as
HAZARDOUS.
The good news is that it has a value and the silver can be
reclaimed. YOU SHOULD NOT DISPOSE OF IT DOWN THE DRAIN.
On-site silver recovery:
What about recycling the solutions yourself? There are a number
of small recovery units on the market. If you recycle your own
solutions, you must meet specific sewer limits, which may be as
low as 1 ppm silver. To assure that your recovery unit meets the
limit, select a vendor which provides a monitoring service. You
may be able to re-use the fixer once it has run through the unit.
Electrolytic recovery machines typically need. to have a
metal replacement or ion exchange unit appended to the
outflow to achieve sewer discharge limits. This option is
more appropriate for larger generators: printers,
photolabs, etc.
- Metallic replacement machines are containers of steel
wool through which the spent fixer flows, a. crude form of
ion exchange. Although the cost of the machine may be low,
the operating costs are typically high. If not maintained
frequently, the cartridge loses its effectiveness. Tests to
monitor the silver content in the solution may not be
precise unless done in a laboratory. (Because the service
company is transporting a dry residue, it is not licensed .by
DEP as a hazardous waste transporter. )
If you are on a septic system, you cannot discharge any of- your
photo solutions. You will need to install a holding tank,
analyse the ,waste through a certified laboratory and ship it with
a septage hauler or hazardous waste transporter, depending on its
characteristics. For information, call the Division of Water
Pollution Control, at DEP, 617-292-5673 .
Off-site recycling services:
The attached listings of precious metal transporters and
reclaimers will help you find a service which will handle your
waste. Be aware that as the generator of a hazardous waste, you
are always liable for the handling of that waste.
I
p
The Massachusetts Hazardous Waste Regulations (310 CMR 30. 000)
require you to:
Determine your hazardous waste status:
You are a Small Quantity Generator (SQG) if you produce
more than 27 gals a month of hazardous waste, and less
than 270 gal_ ._.
You are a Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG) if you
produce less than 27 gals a month of hazardous waste. '
If you are an SQG, and you do on-site recycling in a
stand-alone unit, you will need a recycling permit. Call 617-
292-5905 if you have questions. VSQG's do not need a permit.
Label each container:
HAZARDOUS WASTE
SILVER SOLUTIONS
TOXIC
If you are sending your solutions to a recycler, you have
certain time and volume limits in which you can accumulate your
waste.
As an SQG, you may accumulate as long as 180 days.
As a VSQG, you may accumulate up to 165 gals. at any
one time.
When you use a precious metal transporter, you will use a
special shipping paper called a "manifest, " for which you -will
need a unique generator identification number. Call DEP at 617-
338-2255 or 1-800-462-0444. If you are an SQG, ask for 'an .
application for EPA ID. If you qualify as a VSQG, you. will need a
DEP Generator Registration Form. As. a registered VSQG, .you have
the option of taking up to 55 gals. of your waste per trip to
another generator or recycler, for which you should obtain a
receipt, stating the quantity and the date of delivery.
- Retain records for at least 3 years of the quantity of
waste you recycled and/or receipts or manifests for waste .you
transferred to someone else.
For further information about hazardous waste regulations .or your disposal
options, call the Hazardous Waste compliance Assistance Line 617-292-5898.
