This violation was assessed as a class II violation in the <br /> Summary of Violations that was left with the facility on December 15, 2010. DTSC staff asked <br /> PNA how the facility is managing the waste oil collected in the oil containment trays from the <br /> lubrication of machine parts in the lehr line. PNA informed DTSC that the waste oil from the <br /> trays is pumped to the 55-gallon drums and transferred to the maintenance shop where it is <br /> filtered and stored in a tank to reuse.
