Inspection Report Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories Site 300 Inspection date - October 28 and 29, 2003 explained that the specific waste stream received was stored in M-816 prior to treatment which is under the management of Chemistry. Mr. John Scott, is part of Chemistry and is the facility manager for EWTF, M-816 and M-1 through M-5, is responsible for receiving the manifests for waste destined for treatment. He added that the manifests ultimately go back to the LLNL Main Site in Livermore and from there the copies are sent to the generator and the Department. He added that he doesn't know why the handling codes were not filled in. During the. exit meeting on October 29, 2003, 1 discussed the manifest issue with Mr. Lane, who acknowledged that there is a need for better communications between the Hazardous Waste Shipping Group located at LLNL Main Site in Livermore and the individuals responsible for manifest here at LLNLS300. He said this issue will have to be addressed to insure that each group knows who has the responsibility for providing the codes, who has the responsibility to make sure the codes are there before the manifest copies are sent out. b. Contingency Plan: reviewed the contingency plans for EWSF, EWTF and Bldg. 829. No violations were observed. c. Training Plan and Records: I reviewed the training plan for EWSF and EWTF, which are very similar and training records. I reviewed.training records for Mr. Greg Walter, Chemistry, EWTF, Explosive Technician, BIdg.845-A/B, and Mr. Patrick Gallagher, Explosive Technologist, EWSF. Mr. Walter's duties include conducting inspections of Bldg. 845-A/B and conducting treatment activities. Mr. Gallagher is responsible for hazardous waste management at M-816 and M-1 through M-5. All training records reviewed were found to be in order. I also reviewed Bldg. 829, which is operating under a Post -Closure permit. I observed that the Part B Operating Plan did not contain a training plan. Post -Closure permits are not the same as permits issued to active operating hazardous waste units. Each permit.is unit specific. Regulations require that training be a part of any permit issued, which includes a post -closure permit. Under the current circumstances, the post -closure permit issued to LLNLS300 for Bldg. 829 does not contain references to training requirements (Attachment C). However it does reference and require an inspection plan and inspections of the Post -Closure unit, Bldg. 829. The Department requires a training plan to include training on inspection of hazardous waste units active or inactive.
