hope everyone is doing well and staying warm.

log in and let your vote be counted. While you are there, why not start a
conversation on the board? It can be a great way to network once you get
comfortable with it. Topic areas cover the range of EHS and there is a
Potpourri section for anything else.

Tour Info: Radiator Specialty Company is a manufacturer of automotive
chemicals. They began operations at the Indian Trail Facility in 1972
manufacturing Engine Brite Engine Degreaser in aerosol form. Over
the years, the facility expanded to include 9 production lines. Key products
lines include Engine Brite, Liquid Wrench,
Puncture Seal and Gunk Green. They also make general purpose cleaners, wax
bowl rings, extruded hose, plumbing and hardware pieces. The hazardous
materials management processes we will see include the 90 day hazardous waste
storage room, satellite accumulation areas, groundwater recovery and treatment
system, shipping department, Raw Material Tank Farm, universal waste storage
area and impoundments which are closed like a landfill.

Membership committee / project update -
Annie Richardson, Christina Field, Giorgina Franklin and Mike Phillips have
been working to pull together a list of companies for us to send a letter of
invitation to. This is a way to introduce our chapter to companies in
our area who manage hazardous materials or have an interest in our profession.
The goal is to send a minimum of 100 letters. I think we will exceed
that with no problem. I plan to have a final draft list at the meeting.
Web site national award submittal update -
I will provide you with a copy of our proposed submittal for the Web Site of
the Year award at the National ACHMM Conference in September.
