RE:     air-mail: Ogden Martin MSW receiving medical waste?

 I have learned that The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has

issued a permit for an existing Ogdin Martin MSW incinerator to burn
medical 
waste. Is this common practice or the beginning of a national trend?

Ogdin Martin has 28 large "waste to energy' MSW incinerators. If you have
one 
in your community or are familiar with their locations and whether or not 
they are ( or are planning to) receiving medical waste please let me know..

Thanking you in advance
