SECTION A: ABOUT YOUR FACILITY

A.1

How did you learn about Performance Track? (select all that apply)

Internally within your company

A.2.a

List the activities, products, or services that take place at your facility.

The Rochester PDC employs 770 employees who process incoming and outgoing mail for the Greater Rochester New York area. Mail processing is a highly automated operation that relies on facer canceller machines, delivery bar code sorters, optical character readers and other sorting and scanning equipment to process nearly one billion pieces of mail each year.

The Rochester plant is a separate facility with separate management from the Rochester VMF.

A.2.b

Provide the size and general description of your site.

The Rochester Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC) is located at 1335 Jefferson Road in Rochester, New York. The total United States Postal Service (USPS) site covers approximately 43.5 acres and consists of a 700,000 square foot P&DC. The site lies at an elevation of approximately 500 feet above mean sea level and the geographic coordinates are 43° 04’ 60” north latitude and 77° 35’ 43” west longitude. The Rochester Vehicle Maintenance Facility is co-located on this site. The VMF already is a member of Performance Track.

All storm water runoff originating from the site flows into a swale that discharges to a small unnamed seasonal stream. The unnamed stream discharges into Allen’s Creek. Because the storm drains discharge to waters of the United States (US), a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) Permit and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) are required for this facility. The facility has been issued a general permit, NYR00C203 (GP-98-03), by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). This permit prohibits the discharge of non-stormwater to the stormwater sewer system and requires implementation of a SWPPP and maintenance of water quality.

Oil and hazardous materials are typically stored inside the P&DC to minimize the potential for stormwater contamination. The P&DC typically stores the following materials on-site: new and used oil, paint, parts cleaner solution, and batteries. The SWPPP addresses exposed significant materials and describes best management practices (BMPs) that have been implemented to reduce the potential for stormwater contamination.

The Rochester P&DC is classified as a Small Quantity Generator (SQG) of hazardous waste. Typical hazardous waste streams include: waste paint, waste ink, waste parts cleaner aqueous solvent, and aerosol can residue. The facility Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identification number is NYD082752817. Spent fluorescent bulbs, spent batteries and electronic waste are recycled. Hazardous wastes, non-hazardous wastes, and batteries are stored in a shed on the west side of the Rochester P&DC prior to disposal. The Rochester P&DC produces a small amount of Regulated Medical Waste (RMW) in the medical offices.

The total volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions for the Rochester P&DC are below the threshold for an air emissions permit. The facility has a small parts cleaning station and is heated by natural gas-powered furnaces.
The Facility Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACBM) and Lead Based Paint (LBP) Inspection Report contains an inventory of all suspect building materials located on-site. The building includes areas where the asbestos content is greater than 1% and areas where lead paint was historically used.

Because the Rochester P&DC and Rochester VMF are contiguous and the total oil storage capacity of both facilities exceeds 1,320 gallons, the facility is required to have a Spill Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC Plan). An SPCC Plan was developed for the site. Items addressed in the SPCC Plan include above ground oil storage containers with a capacity of 55 gallons or more.

The Rochester VMF is a separate facility with separate management from the Rochester plant. The VMF is already a Performance Track facility.

A.2.c

Describe any recent changes to facility operations or ownership (if applicable).

There have not been any recent changes in facility ownership. The USPS has owned this site since 1977. USPS operations have been changed within the last three years to address bio-hazards in the mailstream. As a result of the 2001 anthrax crisis, the Rochester, NY PDC is equipped with state of the art Bio Hazard Detection equipment.

A.2.d

Describe any activities, products, or services located on your site that are not intended to be included in the facility definition for purposes of Performance Track membership (e.g., business units, leased areas, tenants, or contractors) (if applicable).

The Rochester, NY PDC also has a vehicle maintenance facility that is not included in this application since the VMF is already a member of Performance Track.

A.3

For the purposes of where your facility would be listed in our Member Directory, please list the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code(s) that is (are) used to classify business at the facility:
