1 Carcass Disposal Off-Site Locations (Rendering and Landfills) and Transportation Biosecurity

2 Off-Site Carcass Disposal ●Rendering Facility or Landfills ●Use depends on – Animal species – Quantity of carcasses – Pathogen of concern  Persistence  Ability to spread – Regulations  Local, state, federal Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

3 RENDERING Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

4 Rendering ●Heat conversion of animal carcasses into useable products – Meat and bone meal (protein-based solids) – Melted fat (tallow) – Water ●200 rendering plants throughout US and Canada Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

5 Rendering Process ●Continuous rendering system – One vessel used for entire process – Processes are simultaneous – Little to no manual operation ●Moisture converted to steam – Temperature between 240-275°F – Destroys harmful pathogens Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

6 Rendering: Considerations ●Disposal of final product – Landfill – Burial ●Coordinate transport to facilities ●Surge capacity ●Biosecurity and wastewater procedures ●Process closely regulated Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

7 LANDFILLS Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

8 Landfills ●Public and privately owned – EPA’s I-WASTE tool ●Existing site – Liners – Leachate and gas collection systems – Minimal environmental risk ●Carcass degradation may take longer Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

9 Landfill: Regulations ●Highly regulated – Resources Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) – Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 239-299 Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

10 Landfills: Considerations ●Immediately available ●Minimal environmental risk ●May have limited capacity ●Owner acceptance and terms of use ●Transportation – Biosecurity – Cost ●Public opposition Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

11 TRANSPORTATION Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

12 Carcass Transport: Planning ●Training & guidelines – Supervisors, operators, drivers ●Obtain transport vehicles ●Determine travel route – Direct as possible ●Supplies – Cleaning and disinfection – Personal protective equipment ●Permits & official documents – Federal, state & local Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

13 Transport Containers ●Liquid tight – Seal holes & cracks – Layers of duct tape & plastic ●Lining material – Polyethylene plastic – Sufficient material on all sides ●Absorbent material – Wood shavings Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

14 Loading the Containers ●Fill container – One foot from top – Maximum weight limit ●Spray with disinfectant ●Wrap and seal load ●Cover the container ●Check for leaks ●Clean and disinfect before leaving the site Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

15 Regulations ●Environmental Protection Agency ●Department of Transportation – DOT Hazardous Materials Program Definitions and General Procedures  49 CFR Part 105 Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

16 Transport Process ●Use designated routes ●Avoid unplanned stops ●Have drivers take breaks on long distance trips ●Two-way communication at all times Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal

17 Unloading ●Unloading procedures specified by facility ●Unload close to the disposal site ●Check for leaks and cover integrity ●Clean and disinfect after unloading – Interior, exterior, undercarriage – Tools and equipment – Dispose of PPE Just In Time Training Off-Site Carcass Disposal
