Inspection Report Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories Site 300 Inspection date - October 28 and 29, 2003 waste. This area also has five smaller storage magazines which are used for storage of Form Four HE wastes. Mr. Gallagher, Explosive Waste Technician, is responsible for hazardous waste management activities in this area. Inside Magazine 816, 1 observed ### 55 -gallon, metal drums. The drum storage limit for this facility is 168. All drums were sitting on polyethylene pallets that were designed to catch any spills or leaks that may occur. However, the whole floor is designed as secondary containment. The entries to this area are also bermed to prevent liquids from escaping should a spill onto the floor occur. I observed that the drums were latched with either a self locking ring, or with rings that must be hand bolted to tighten the ring onto the drum. I checked all of the locking and bolted rings and found them to be fitted tightly and fully locked down. Mr. Gallagher explained that he places the drums by date order, with the oldest on the far west side and continues row by row towards the entrance which is on the east side of the building. Mr. Gallagher said that this way it is easier to identify the drums that have been in the facility the longest. I observed that all of the drums were closed. I checked the accumulation storage dates on the labels. I observed that none of the containers had been stored in excess of the one year storage limitation. MAGAZINE 2: Next I inspected the smaller Magazines. These magazines are built into the side of a hill with the infrastructure covered with earth. They are designed to contain potential explosions. There are five magazines, M-1 is used for the storage of supplies, M-3 and M-4 were empty and are used for storage of Form three waste. I did not inspect M-5. According to Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Scott, M-5 held only one container. Magazine two is used to store Form two and Form three waste, which are stored in poly -totes and maintained closed with a locking plastic tie that must be cut in order to open the tote. I observed that all containers were closed and sealed with these plastic ties. I observed that all containers properly labeled with all of the required information. I observed no violations in this area. I reviewed inspection logs for both Magazine 816 and M-2, for details and result of that review see section three of this report. After completing my inspections of M-2, we returned to Magazine 816. 1 observed a spill kit next to the DTSC (3/95) Pave 9 of 12
