Several flammable <br />paint containers were found in the solid waste dumpster on site. The facility adds a hardener to paint waste and then <br />disposes of the solid paint in the trash. Several plastic bags were found which contained liquid and semi solid paint <br />waste. Samples were taken of this waste stream to determine if it is a hazardous waste.

According to the project manager, David Dixon this facility does not utilize a <br />laundry service for these waste solvent soaked rags. A hazardous waste container was not observed to be on site for <br />collecting the contents of the small metal containers. Any person who generates a waste shall determine if the waste is <br />a hazardous waste. Immediately cease disposing of the waste solvent soaked rags in the solid waste containers on <br />site, make a hazardous waste determination for the waste solvent soaked rags and manage them according to Title 22 <br />hazardous waste regulations.

A permit to treat the flammable paint waste must be obtained from the California <br />Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) in order to continue this process. Immediately cease treating the <br />flammable paint waste until an approved permit to treat hazardous waste is issued by the DTSC. Provide a statement <br />explaining how this violation will be corrected and how the flammable paint waste will be managed in the interim.
