Source Recycle or Collection Programs



I obtained this email address from a CRCPD listing dated 11/95.

I am assisting the EPA in tracking down recycle or collection programs for 
various solid sources at a site in Denver.  The Ramp Industries Site was a 
former radiological and biological waste staging and processing facility.  
The site was abandoned with approximately 6,000 drums remaining on site.  The 
EPA has consolidated most of the container and anticipates disposal at the 
U.S. Ecology site in Richland or the Envirocare site in Utah.

Approximately 24 drums of solid sources are available for recycle.  Listed 
below are the isotopes and activities thought to be present.  If anyone is 
aware of recycle or collection programs please let me know.  Activities are 
all in mCi.
