All onside liquid waste including the waste from the <br /> plating tanks is being directed to this stainless steel tank. Mr. Craig Walters indicated that he thinks the waste was <br /> sampled in the past and was deemed non-hazardous. The reviewed Slug Discharge Control Plan, indicates that <br /> trivalent chromium is treated by precipitation and sent out as"press cake", no manifests showing "press cake" <br /> disposal were available. This waste is being generated as part of the wastewater treatment sludge from the <br /> chemical conversion coating of aluminum (using trivalent chrome), which identifies this waste as F019 and is RCRA <br /> hazardous waste, listed in CCR 66261,31. Any person who generates a waste shall determine if the waste is a <br /> hazardous waste. One sample was collected by the EHD from this filter press cake at the time of inspection. <br /> Hazardous wastes shall be disposed of only by transportation to a permitted hazardous waste treatment, storage, <br /> and disposal facility (TSDF). Immediately cease disposal of hazardous waste to garbage and ensure that all future <br /> waste is hauled by a licensed hazardous waste transporter to a permitted TSDF. Provide training for all employees <br /> who handle/generate hazardous waste and send documentation to the EHD showing they have received adequate <br /> training on proper methods of handling and disposal of hazardous waste. Submit a statement and supporting <br /> documentation explaining how this waste was managed. <br /> This is a Class I violation. <br /> 301 CCR 66262.34(4)(2) Facility not maintained to minimize the release of a hazardous waste. <br /> The following was noted at the time of inspection: <br /> 1) Solvent based paint was splattered on the walls and floor of the paint mixing room, strong solvent like odor was <br /> also noted in this room. <br /> 2) Metal fines were observed on top and around the metal working equipment(next to the dry sanding equipment) <br /> located inside the shop area of the northern site building <br /> 3) White powdery staining (discharge)was noted on concrete in the vicinity of power washer process tanks and <br /> adjacent next to one blue 55-gallon container of CC50L with a corrosive warning label. <br /> 4) White powdery staining was noted adjacent to the fork lift battery charging station. <br /> Facilities shall be maintained and operated to minimize the possibility of a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous <br /> waste to air, soil, or surface water which could threaten human health or the environment. Immediately fix all leaks <br /> and spills , and manage according to Title 22 hazardous waste regulations. Submit a statement and supporting <br /> documentation explaining how this waste was managed. <br /> This is a Class II violation. <br /> FAC012466 PRO516115 SCO01 04/26/2017 <br /> EHD 22-01 Rev.09/22/16 Page 8 of 12 Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator OIR <br />
