Why doesn't Walton County have an system to know were businesses are and what exactly they are doing? Does anyone one know how to find out how many businesses are in Walton County? If so how would I get that information?
If the county issued occupational licences or business licences we could ensure reliable owners and tax payers do not have to compete with illegal aliens or sham artist.
Now before the conservatives get upset, these system can be in place for little or nothing. Five dollars to cover expenses, or if you like free. But it seems that a annnual count of active businesses could help the us understnd our community better.
I would like to see a system of registering rental units to limit or monitor the number of rentals and possibly limit illegal renting of accessory apartments.
Help me to understand the issues by giving some feedback.

Firefighters and EMS personall do site Pre-plans all the time and yes they go to the bussiness and ask to look around to see what it there. And most of the time the bussiness allowes them to because that have nothing to hide and if they are not in complaiance with something they are advised of the rule because most do not know every rule there is in running a bussiness. If the firefighters are not allowed to do a walk through then the fire inspector is notified to do a inspection of the bussiness and they have the LAW on their side and are allowed into any bussiness to conduct a fire safety inspection.

So in a store, lets say a computer store, that hazardous waste info is available to me if I walk in and ask for it, or if I was an employee it would be located where I could readily access it if need be?
I am unaware of any hazardous material that a computer store generates that fall within federal, state, or local guidelines, nor have I been notified by local emergency management or fire department that my computer store falls under these regulations.
When I ran an automobile dealership the answer to your question would be yes, you could get it from local government. All the hours I spent weighing, compiling, and tracking every drop of hazardous waste that we generated, stored, bought, sold, and so on. I then filed multiple forms with multiple agencies and endured multiple inspections of same. Generators are even responsible for how the waste is disposed of, so I had to track that back to my vendor to make sure that they were following the rules.
My understanding is that Walton County currently contracts with the Local Emergency Planning Commission to audit and follow up on the random checks that are currently required for compliance.

If you are going to invoke the law, then please provide a statutory citation for verification. But as for my store, the local fire chief has been in there many a time and is always welcome. I am one of those that actually do try to follow the rules, that is why I am against additional regulations that are created for the sole purpose of catching those that currently are not following the regulations we already have in place.

Well, according to the news and every other recycler there are hazardous materials in computers. When the county does there annual haz mat collection they separate these items with attempts to keep them from the landfills and recycle them.

According to the news and scientists their are hazardous materials in water. But at this time, I am unaware of there being an amount that falls within regulatory guidelines for the purpose of the Community Right to Know Act.
Based on the class action lawsuits that federal prisoners are attempting to file against recyclers I do not doubt this either. If I was running a recycling operation I would imagine that the rules would be different.
Come to think of it, I do not remember them issuing MSDs for computer or peripherals at this time. They are starting to have to certify some of the metal content due to another regulation in California though.

I'll try that again. You know someone who knows something up there? They wouldn't take it during the hazmats.
