Bristol Myers Squibb owns a Hazardous Medical Waste incinerator that is subject to 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart Ce which requires them to obtain 

a Title V permit, even though they may qualify for a GPLPE. 

The incinerator has not been in operation since July 2012 and was rendered inoperable on or around September 10, 2012. 

The inspection should confirm that the HMWI has been rendered inoperable or removed and that the source no longer operates a unit subject to

INSPECTION LOG #: 12-0696 & 12-0707 

SOURCE NAME: Bristol-Myers Squibb 

SOURCE ADDRESS: 5 Research Parkway, Wallingford 

SOURCE CONTACTS: David Michaels 

TITLE: Environmental Health & Safety Manager 

PHONE: 860-377-4603 

BACKGROUND: The last inspection conducted at this site was by myself on 4/23/12 to 

assess compliance with the Title V permit. No violations were found during that inspection. 

In July 2012, Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) ceased operation of their Hazardous Medical Waste 

Incinerator (HMIWI). BMS rendered the unit inoperable in early September 2012. 

DATE: September 24, 2012 TIME: 8:20AM - 8:45AM 

OBJECTIVE: Ensure that the HMIWI has been rendered inoperable. 

WEATHER CONDITIONS: During the inspection, the skies were clear, the temperature was 

about 50°F, and the wind was calm. 

OBSERVATIONS: I arrived at BMS at 8:20AM and met Mr. David Michaels and Mr. Jeff 

Mclntyre at the Central Utility Powerhouse (CUP). The following measures have been taken 

to render the HMIWI inoperable: (1) the natural gas fuel line outside of the building has been 

severed and capped, (2) the control panel has been removed and the wires cut, (3) the 

charging door has been welded shut, (4) a section of the stack has been removed, and (5) and 

the fuses have been removed from the electrical disconnect (Attachment A). The unit could 

not be operated in the future without a considerable effort; therefore, the HMrWI has been 

rendered inoperable. 

RECOMMENDATIONS: The HMIWI at BMS has been rendered inoperable. There appears to 

be no unit operated on-site subject to 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart Ce.
