The black 55 gallon drum did not contain USED refrigeration oil; it was sealed and had NEW OIL clearly marked along its side. The black 5 gallon drum also did not contain used refrigeration oil; it too can clearly be seen to be sealed.We have ordered vinyl NEW OIL labels to adhere to both drums in the mechanical room;those labels will arrive in 10 days. The blue 55 gallon drum of used refrigeration oil in the mechanical room, at the time, contained 3 to 5 gallons of oil. A new completed vinyl label has been adhered to the drum(please see pictures of label).We have called Ramos Environmental of West Sacramento and will have this waste dispose of under manifest, once our EPA ID is reactivated.We will submit a copy of the manifest to the EHD upon its receipt. Violation#608-Failed to properly manage used oil and fuel filters. Bills of lading for the recycling of used oil filters for the last three years were not found on site. A copy of each bill of lading must be kept on site for at least three years. Immediately locate a copy of all bills of lading for used oil filters for the last three years, maintain them on site, and submit copies to the EHD. Three drained used oil filters on top of a hazardous waste drum in the mechanical room were not containerized, not labeled and had no start date. Used oil filters shall be drained of free-flowing oil, stored in a closed, rainproof container, labeled as"drained used oil filters," and marked with an accumulation start date. Immediately containerize, label the drained used oil filters and mark a start date and ensure that all used oil filters are managed in this way. 08109118,SMCI Response to Voilation#608: Our ammonia compressors do not use oil filters; instead they use simple wire mesh strainers.The oil filters Fatinah Zareef, REHS, photographed and reported were not for our compressors.They were oil filters for welder generator units that were there to be drained of oil. These filters are simple automotive filters that we turned in to AutoZone. SMCI does not have bills of landing for these oil filters.We have now modified our procedures and have used oil filters drained of free-flowing oil, stored in a closed, rainproof container, labeled as"drained used oil filters,"and marked with an accumulation start date.We will ensure that all used oil filters are managed in the proper manner.
