VII. <br />VIII <br />E. Asbestos: The company policy is to keep asbestos <br />encapsulated before removal occurs. It is done in a <br />sealed system and the material is bagged and drummed. <br />The asbestos is stored in an enclosed fence inside a <br />storage barn on the east side of the property. The <br />material is then transported by Pencon to Forward <br />Landfill for disposal. Approximately 1.13 tons of <br />asbestos was manifested for disposal in 1992. <br />VIOLATIONS• <br />Violations noted during the October 20, 1993, inspection <br />were as follows: <br />Hazardous waste containers used to store spent carbon <br />contaminated with TCE were not properly labeled. <br />OBSERVATIONS• <br />I arrived at Nestle at approximately 10:15 a.m. where I met <br />John Meling. I identified myself, explained the nature of <br />my visit, and requested permission to conduct the <br />inspection. Mr. Meling gave his consent and led me to his <br />office where I reviewed the hazardous waste manifests and <br />contingency plan. At this time, I noted that the facility <br />had a decrease in hazardous waste manifested off-site for <br />disposal or recycling. Nestle is currently permitted for <br />25-50 tons; however, in 1992, the total tonnage was 20.6 <br />tons. I informed Mr. Meling that I would make the <br />necessary changes on the permit and Nestle's fees would <br />decrease as a result. We then went downstairs to review <br />the employee training records. Several employees have <br />completed the OSHA 40 hour Health and Safety Training, and <br />training documentation has been submitted as part of the <br />1992 certification of compliance. <br />After reviewing the records, we began our facility tour in <br />the laboratory. We then continued our tour and inspection <br />of the groundwater treatment area, automotive repair shop, <br />coffee container maintenance shop, waste oil storage area, <br />asbestos storage area, drummed spent carbon storage area, <br />and surrounding areas. Only one violation was noted during <br />this inspection. (See violations section.) <br />IX. DISCUSSION WITH MANAGEMENT: <br />I discussed the noted violation and solutions with Mr. <br />Meling and Mr. Zumstein, the plant manager. Mr. Meling <br />stated that all of the drums would be properly labeled <br />immediately. We then discussed the facility closure that <br />will take place in 1994. Mr. Meling will inform PHS-EHD <br />when any final plans are made for closure. He did not know <br />
