Any person who generates a waste shall determine if the waste is a hazardous waste. A waste determination is required for the following waste streams generated onsite: 1) No accurate determination was made for the filter press cake sludge. This sludge is currently being generated at the stainless steel tank (located in the waste water treatment area) and is being thrown away into solid waste. All onside liquid waste, including the waste from the plating rinse tanks, is being directed to this stainless steel tank where floculant is added to facilitate sludge settlement and pH is adjusted (as needed) prior to discharge into the POTW. Mr. Craig Walters indicated that he believes that a sample was collected in the past from this waste stream, which indicated that this waste is non-hazardous, however, no laboratory analytical was available for this waste stream at the time of inspection, and this waste is being generated as part of the wastewater treatment sludge from the chemical conversion coating of aluminum (using trivalent chrome).Any person who generates a waste shall accurately determine if the waste is a hazardous waste. Immediately make a hazardous waste determination for sludge waste, and manage it according the Title 22 hazardous waste regulations. One sample was collected by the EHD from this filter press cake at the time of inspection. Submit a statement and supporting documentation explaining how this waste was managed. 2) Powder coating waste was observed inside an outdoor trash bin, Mr. Craig Walters indicated that the powder from his powder coating process is non-hazardous, however, no hazardous waste determination was available for review at the time of inspection. No sample was collected due to a limited sample size. immediately make a hazardous waste determination for this waste and manage it according to Title 22 hazardous waste regulations. Provide proof of correction to the EHD. 3) Metal fines generated from the metal cutting equipment(with oil lubrication) and from a dry metal sanding equipment, located the shop area inside the northern side building, are being recycled without first determining particle size or hazardous properties. Any person who generates a waste shall determine if the waste is a hazardous waste. Immediately stop recycling metal fines, make a hazardous waste determination for metal fines and manage them according to Title 22 hazardous waste regulations. Particles 100 microns or smaller must be handled as hazardous waste if the metal is determined to be a hazardous waste. Submit a statement and supporting documentation explaining how this waste was managed. 3) Spray booth, and powder coating booth filters, are baked in the oven and put into solid waste. Per Mr. Craig Walters, no determination was available for the filters or the baked material. Immediately make a hazardous waste determination for this waste and manage it according to Title 22 hazardous waste regulations, and submit proof of correction to the EHD. 4) One 5-gallon container open unlabeled container of sludgy waste material (generated the tumbling area), is being routinely discharged into the waste water treatment stainless steel tank, no hazardous waste determination was made for this waste stream prior to its discharge into the stainless steel holding tank(from which filter cake discussed above is being generated). Note, this waste stream is added to and treated in the batch treatment stainless steel tank prior to discharge to the POTW. This waste shall be included in the facility's Waste Analysis Plan. Immediately make a hazardous waste determination for this waste and manage it according to Title 22 hazardous waste regulations. 5) During the inspection, parts rinsing was observed at the last rinse tank("hot rinse"), rinsed parts were allowed to drip outside the secondary containment of the plating area. Mr. Craig Walters indicated that it's not hazardous, however, no hazardous waste determination was available. Immediately make a hazardous waste determination for this waste and manage it according to Title 22 hazardous waste regulations. 6)Accumulation of white powdery solid material was observed on the outside of the DEOX710 tank, no sample was collected due to a limited sample size, and no hazardous waste determination was available onsite for review at the time of inspection. Immediately make a hazardous waste determination for this waste and manage it according to Title 22 hazardous waste regulations. Provide proof of correction to the EHD. 7) During the inspection EHD observed several 5-gallon waste paint containers being baked inside the parts baking FA0012466 PR0516115 SCO01 04126/2017 EHD 22-01 Rev.09/22/16 Page 4 of 12 Small Quantity Hazardous waste Generator©IR
