Management of construction and demolition debris (C&DD) in Ohio is changing. No longer do C&DD owners and operators only dispose of the C&DD they receive. With increasing regularity, the C&DD industry is processing C&DD in an effort to recover recyclable materials, either at the same facility where the landfill is located or at separate recycling operations. Ohio EPA supports the responsible recycling of C&DD in a manner that is protective of public health, safety and the environment. With the increasing occurrence of C&DD recycling, Ohio EPA has delevoped guidance on the Payment of C&DD Fees and Recordkeeping at C&DD Facilities that are Recycling.  Effective immediately, all licensed C&DD facilities must use the updated Daily Log of Operations or an alternate form that contains all information included in the updated Daily Log of Operations.  Please note, while all facilities are required to use the new daily log form, updates to the form only affect those C&DD facilities where recycling activities occur.

 On March 22, 2012, Ohio EPA and U.S. EPA issued a draft renewal Hazardous Waste Facility Installation and Operation Permit (Permit) to The Lubrizol Corporation (Lubrizol) for its facility located at 28400 Lakeland Blvd., Wickliffe, Ohio. The Ohio EPA ID number is OHD004172565. Lubrizol is engaged in the research, development, and testing of lubricant additives, fuel additives, and other specialty chemicals.  These activities result in the generation of a variety of hazardous wastes.  The renewal permit authorizes Lubrizol to treat and store hazardous waste in containers and tanks. The comment period begins on March 22, 2012, and ends on May 30, 2012.  A public meeting will be held on May 15, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. at Wickliffe Middle School, 29240 Euclid Ave., Wickliffe, Ohio 44092 to receive public comments.  Oral comments will be received during the public meeting.  All persons, including the applicant, may submit written comments relating to this draft action.
