CWOSTCO. <br /> W}IIOiLESALE <br /> Date 6113/07 ENVIRONMENT HEAEI H <br /> PERMIT/SERVICES <br /> RE: Hazardous waste generator program inspection report from 5/22/07 conducted by <br /> Ray Von Flue. <br /> Ray, this is the response to your visit dated 5/22/07. On that day you noticed two <br /> violations that needed corrective action and a response. Here are the details of the <br /> corrective actions that were needed to correct the violations. <br /> Violation#4 <br /> Violation— Six unbroken fluorescent light bulbs were found in an 8 yard garbage <br /> dumpster. <br /> Solution—We took the light bulbs out of the dumpster and added them to our light bulb <br /> recycling program, Universal Waste. These were six fluorescent 4' light bulbs in a box <br /> that did not contain any identification. (I don't know if these light bulbs were from <br /> Costco). We emptied the trash container of all contents and had Waste Management pick <br /> it up and keep it. We currently have only one large trash dumpster that is locked at all <br /> times for Costco use. The original intent of this trash dumpster was for recycling of paper <br /> products. <br /> Violation #12 <br /> Violation—There was hydraulic fluid under the trash compactor. <br /> Solution—We first had the trash container removed. We then completely swept up the <br /> area clearing all solid debris. We then used absorbent pads that are used in the gas station <br /> to clean oil based spills from concrete. We removed all trace of hydraulic fluid from the <br /> ground. We did find that there was liquid from trash on the concrete also. We cleaned all <br /> liquids from the ground. We also added new washers to the hydr?.ulic lines to stop any <br /> leakage during garbage ca, .-I ,� #a,. We placed the absorb- '.zt.11-'_e recycle can at <br /> the gas station to be pickea up by Safety Kleen using our normal procedures. <br /> I have enclosed some photos showing: <br /> • 1st the full 8 yard garbage bin as found on 5/22/07. <br /> • ' 2"d after the clean up of the garbage bin. <br /> • 3`d the area in steel where we keep the pallet of light bulbs for recycling. ' <br /> • `4th the only exterior garbage bin on site. Locked at all times. <br /> • 5th photos showing the area affected with hydraulic oil and liquid from trash on <br /> the north side of the building under the hydraulic trash compactor. <br /> If any additional information is needed I can be reached by phone at 478-2040. <br /> Thank you, Scott Grafius, Costco Stockton. <br /> 1676 E.
