Conference Call with General Electric for Docket

November 21, 2005

On Monday November 21, 2005, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) team
members from the Office of Solid Waste (OSW) had a conference call with
Lois Arehart of General Electric (GE) from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm. The
purpose of the call was to learn about GE’s Waste Vendor
Qualifications Program in order to facilitate an analysis of overall
good hazardous waste recycling practices for a DSW rulemaking. The
discussion focused on the history of the program and why it was
developed, what types of facilities are commonly audited for the program
and what the audits look for in a waste vendor, such as insurance,
financial stability, and compliance with regulations, among other
things.
