APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
Mr. Danny Yount, the Environmental, Health, and Safety Department
Specialist for ASMO North Carolina, Inc., Provided a 2003 & 2004 (1s` Six
Months) Environmental Report in Conjunction with the Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA) National Performance Tracking Program: Mr. Yount said his
presentation was a requirement of the EPA's Performance Program. He mentioned that
ASMO was awarded North Carolina's Environmental Steward award last year. Yount
then described several methods in which his company was "attempting to exceed
environmental requirements along with focusing on making the environment better."
Some methods he described are as follows:
Balers have been purchased to bale plastic and other items.
A different method for aerosol can disposal is being used. Previously, ASMO
sent the cans to a company for disposal, now they are drained, crushed, and sent
to a metal recycling company.
Recyclable oil pads are being used instead of purchasing new absorbent pads.
