vegetative organisms listed in table 1, and a minimum log 4 kill against bacillus
stearothermophilus spores utilizing steam or a minimum log 4 kill against bacillus
subtilis spors utilizing dry heat, chemicals or microwave shredding.
Facility -ANSWER✅✅✅All contiguous land, structures and appurtenances which are
owned, operated and licensed as a single entity which may consist of several
generating, treatment, or storage units.
Hazardous Waste -ANSWER✅✅✅The materials defined in chapter 62-730, F..A.C.
