Description of Facility and Waste Streams Triangle Pacific Corporation (TPC) is involved in the assembly and fin- ishing of kitchen cabinets . Much of the machining and fabrication of the cabinets occurs at other TPC facilities throughout the U.S. TPC has been at this location for five years, employs 62 full-time workers and covers 250,000 square feet. Wastes generated at this facility consist of waste lacquer and thinner and solids contaminated with lacquer and thinner. These wastes are stored in 55-gallon drums on a concrete pad at the rear of the facility. All wastes are transported by American Environmental Management Corp- oration (AEMC) to the I.T. , Martinez site. The drums used to hold the wastes are left at the facility, as AEMC pumps the wastes out of the drums at TPC. According to Mr. Helton, these drums are then picked up by Rose Cooperdge, Montibello, CA, recycled, then returned to •the Reliance Corporation for reuse. Rose Cooperdge picks up empty drums only three times per year; they will not make a pickup unless there are at least 80 drums available.
