To begin the site visit, staff from Georgetown University presented
general overview information about the areas of the university in which
hazardous waste is generated.  We discussed their current waste
practices within the university.  The staff from Georgetown University
indicated that Georgetown Hospital, which is on campus, was no longer
owned by Georgetown University and its hazardous wastes are managed
separately.

We visited several laboratories within the university, although since it
was summer, the teaching laboratories were not in operation.  We also
visited the university’s 90-day storage area.
