Inspector: The DO employee training for Travis Horton was not performed per <br />Travis Horton, although a training certificate was found dated May 19, 2011. The <br />designated operator shall train facility employees for which he or she is responsible in <br />the proper operation and maintenance of the UST every 12 months. <br />Response: It is our understanding that the designated operatory did in fact spend time <br />with the terminal manager going over the UST system and his responsibilities. In <br />discussions with Mr. Horton after your inspection we believe he misunderstood your <br />question as meaning he had received formal training (i.e. book course, video training <br />etc.). The training Mr. Horton received was conducted by the DO in his office during the <br />course of working hours at the terminal. The terminal manager is responsible for <br />oversight of the UST's at all terminals that have UST's. Estes has asked the designated <br />operator to complete a follow-up training with the Mr. Horton in June to assure he <br />understands the UST system. Documentation of that training will be forwarded to your <br />office upon completion. <br />7. Inspector: Failed to determine if a waste is a hazardous waste. At the time of the <br />inspection oil was seen in the secondary containment spill pallet under 3 55 gallon <br />drums of oil. It is unknown if this was a waste or not. Immediately make a hazardous <br />waste determination per Title 22 regulations and handle accordingly or handle as a <br />hazardous waste. Within 30 days provide written documentation to this office describing <br />what action has been taken. <br />Response: The three 55 gallon drums of oil viewed at the site is virgin motor oil utilized <br />by the drivers at the terminal to add to their truck engines as needed. The oil in the spill <br />pallets upon which the drums are resting on is also considered virgin. Oil that may be in <br />that pallet is recovered and utilized in for the trucks. <br />8. Inspector: This facility's EPA ID number is inactive. A hazardous waste generator <br />shall not treat, store, dispose of, transport or offer for transport, hazardous waste without <br />an EPA ID number. Immediately contact DTSC and reactivate your EPA ID number and <br />submit evidence to EHD by June 28, 2011. <br />Response: No on-going activities are conducted on the site were hazardous waste is <br />routinely generated and a permanent EPA ID number would be required. <br />52. Inspector: At the time of inspection it could not be demonstrated that employees <br />who handle hazardous waste properly trained. Both Travis Horton and Bill Wardell <br />stated hazardous waste training was not provided to them. The generator must insure <br />that all employees who handle hazardous waste are thoroughly familiar with proper <br />waste handling and emergence procedures. Immediately provide training to all <br />employees who handle hazardous waste and submit a copy of training records to EHD <br />by June 28, 2011. <br />Inspection Response - Estes <br />
