According <br />to Mr. Evans, this waste has previously been vacuumed into a hazardous waste drum, but the drum on site was too <br />full to allow the vacuum to continue working. <br />-Liquid laundry detergent was observed spilled on the ground in the reverse logistics hazardous waste storage area. <br />More than fifteen plastic jugs of waste liquid laundry detergent were observed unlabeled on the ground near the <br />drums in the reverse logistics hazardous waste storage area, and the spill appeared to be coming from the jugs. No <br />absorbent was observed. According to Mr. Tony Evans, the facility did not have enough room in the hazardous <br />waste drums to containerize these jugs. <br />Facilities shall be maintained and operated to minimize the possibility of a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous <br />waste to air, soil, or surface water which could threaten human health or the environment.
