After <br /> reviewing the Inspection Report, Qualex concludes that none of the alleged <br /> violations are valid. We address each of the alleged violations in order. <br /> VIOLATIONS <br /> • Illegal Operations 11_66251.12(a) (CCR) Managed a hazardous waste <br /> without an EPA number. Qualex has a valid EPA identification number <br /> and has verified with EPA Region IX that the number remains active. <br /> • Storage 20_66262.34(CCR) Failed to properly label containers of <br /> hazardous waste. The basis for this alleged violation was the container of <br /> silver sludge from photoprocessing. As discussed below, this sludge is neither <br /> a federal nor California hazardous waste. <br /> San Francisco Century City Los Angeles Orange County San Diego <br />
