Plant Improvement Projects
Underway At Ross Incineration

Ross Incineration Services has a commitment to continuous improvement and a goal to become the safest and most efficient waste treatment and storage facility in the nation.

That's why the company incorporates the best available technology into its operations. Over the past 20 years, the company has reinvested more than $50 million into the Eaton Township facility.

Changing Regulations
Prompt Market Changes

Changing regulations have played a role in these plant improvement projects that are currently planned and/or underway at Ross Incineration. Several years ago, the United States Environmental Protection Agency established new standards for companies that burn hazardous wastes.

Commercial incineration firms, being among the most experienced and skilled waste managers in the industry, must be prepared to handle more diversified waste streams which require additional storage and processing capabilities. The Ross companies are making improvements to keep pace with these changes in the marketplace.

These projects are designed to make the waste receiving and storage operations safer and more efficient. Four projects are planned and/or underway:

• the addition of another level to the racks in the Container Storage Facility. This facility is managed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards and complies with applicable sections of the Ohio Basic Building Code (OBBC);
• the building of a new Bulk Storage Area where hazardous waste solids (which contain no free liquids) will be stored;
• the construction of a new Oxidizer Storage Building to better segregate these materials from other wastes. This building is designed to meet NFPA and OBBC standards; and
• The expansion of the Process Dock to include a ventilated repackaging area that will enable more efficient repackaging and inspection of wastes and lab packs.

These changes will provide the operational flexibility that is needed for the safest, most efficient operation of the facility.

Public Participation Completed

Before construction plans were made, the company held several public meetings to discuss these facility changes. Afterwards, the changes were approved by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency as part of the company's operating permit.
