• RECEIVED JUN 2 e 2u17 9301. Facility not maintained to minimize the release of hazardous waste. ENVIRONMENTAL CORRECTIVE ACTION HEALTH DEPARTMENT The SJCEHD identified seven findings for which AASC was cited for not maintaining the facility to minimize the release of hazardous waste. The regulatory citation used by EHD to support these findings was 22 CCR §66265.31. However, the exact language used is "Facilities shall be maintained and operated to minimize the possibility of a fire, explosion, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air,soil, or surface water which could threaten human health or the environment." None of the identified releases were to air, soil, or surface water, but we have addressed each of the seven findings. All items with the exception of the overspray in the Cleaning Center(Bldg. 3), the"pit' maintenance, and the alodine table near the chromium treatment tank have been cleaned up to the best of our ability. Cleaning Center(Bldg. 3)—A temporary barrier has been installed to prevent rinse water overspray from reaching and breaching the south wall/floor of Bldg. 3(north wall of Building 2). The affected floor areas will be cleaned and hazardous waste collected accordingly. A repair plan will be developed and implemented to prevent future breaches into Building 2. Anticipate this to be completed prior to January 1, 2018. "Pit"maintenance—The pit inspection and maintenance will now be performed at the beginning and end of 1 sc shift during weekday operation. Liquid accumulation will be removed from the pit floor at these times. The document covering pit maintenance has been updated to reflect his change. Alodine area floor stains—The floor area will be cleaned and hazardous waste collected accordingly. Technicians using this area will receive updated operating procedures and clean-up training. Only trained and authorized personnel will be allowed to use the area. Training and authorized personnel list will be documented. A process upgrade plan will be developed and implemented to prevent the future release of hazardous waste. This is anticipated to be completed by January 1, 2018. #303.
