Mr. Rich BublikVinyl Graphics Unlimited4747 Manufacturing Rd.Cleveland, Ohio 44135

Dear Mr. Bublik:

Thank you and Mr. Brian Stransky for accompanying me during Ohio EPA's September14, 2012 inspection of Vinyl Graphics Unlimited (VGU) in Cleveland, Ohio. I inspectedVGU to determine its compliance with Ohio's hazardous waste laws as found in Chapter3734 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) and Chapter 3745 of the Ohio AdministrativeCode (OAC). My inspection included a review of company operations and writtendocumentation. In addition to the inspection for compliance with Ohio's hazardouswaste rules, the facility was inspected for compliance with Ohio's used oil and universalhazardous waste rules.

VGU is a screen printing specialty printing service. Non-hazardous scrap ink iscollected in a 55-gallon drum and shipped to Safety-Kleen for disposal. Press cleanuprags are collected and laundered by Coyne Laundry. Universal hazardous waste lampsare being collected and recycled. No used oil is currently generated.

The following violation of Ohio's universal hazardous waste rules was found during theinspection:

1. Universal Waste Lamps, OAC 3745-273-13(D)(1):

VGU collects and ships off site for recycling its used universal waste lamps.During my inspection, I viewed the used lamps being accumulated in themaintenance area. Although most were properly containerized, many of theused lamps were not. This is a violation of OAC 3745-273 (D)(1) which requiresthat universal waste lamps be accumulated in containers or packages that arestructurally sound, adequate to prevent breakage, compatible with the contentsof the lamps, and that these containers be closed. Following this inspection, yousubmitted, via email, copies of photographs showing all lamps were properly

containerized. You further submitted via email a copy of the bill of lading for theiroff-site shipment to Safety-Kleen for recycling. In light of these submittals, VGUis returned to compliance with this violation. No further action regarding thisviolation is required byVGU.

Enclosed you will find a copy of the checklist that I completed as a result of theinspection. During the inspection, you indicated you would like additional informationregarding the hazardous waste laws and rules in Ohio. I recommend you investigatethis link to Ohio's Hazardous Waste Generator Handbook:http:Ilwww.epaohio.qov/portalsl32/pdflqen handbook.pdf
