Inspection Report : Facility Name <br /> Pilkington North America, Inc. <br /> managed as scrap metal. The paint waste removed from the spray paint cans is managed by <br /> PNA as a hazardous waste. Mr. Baillie tapped on the drum and noted by the sound that the <br /> drum was not empty. Mr. Baillie inspected the front and backside of the drum and noted that <br /> the drum of paint waste was not properly labeled. Therefore, PNA also violated Cal. Code <br /> Regs., tit. 22, § 66265.31, in that the facility failed to properly label the drum of paint waste. In <br /> addition, the puncturing device did not have secondary containment. The empty spray cans <br /> are accumulated in a 55-gallon drum adjacent to the device and are managed by PNA as <br /> scrap metal. Health & Safety code section 25201.16 requires that PNA notify the local CUPA <br /> for the spray paint can puncturing device and that the device must have secondary <br /> containment. A review of the San Joaquin County Environmental Health file shows that PNA <br /> failed to submit the required notification. Therefore, PNA violated Health & Safety code section <br /> 25201.16(f)(3) and 25201.16(f)(3), in that PNA failed to provide universal waste handlers <br /> notification for paint puncturing device to local CUPA, and operated a paint puncturing device <br /> without secondary containment. This violation was not included in the Summary of Violations <br /> that was left with the facility on December 15, 2010 but now being added as a Class I violation <br /> in this inspection report. <br /> Photograph No.64: The paint puncturing device has no secondary containment and <br /> without proper hazardous waste label with the start accumulation date in the hazardous <br /> waste storage building. <br /> (1) No proper <br /> label <br /> (2) no secondary <br /> containmen <br /> w <br /> In addition, DISC staff also observed one unlabelled and uncovered roll off bin containing oily <br /> contaminated granules, pads and gloves, one container containing oily contaminated <br /> absorbent granules, and one 55-gallon drum of waste oil with the empty label but had waste oil <br /> in it the hazardous waste storage area. DTSC staff also observed one 55-gallon drum with the <br /> empty label but had material in it located outside the hazardous waste storage area. PNA also <br /> violated Cal. Code Regs., tit. 22, § 66265.31, in that the facility failed to properly label the one <br /> roll off bin containing oily contaminated granules, pads and gloves, one container containing <br /> oily contaminated absorbent granules, and two 55-gallon drums with the empty label but had <br /> waste oil in it. In addition, PNA also violated Cal. Code Regs., tit. 22, § 66265.173 (a), in that <br /> PNA failed to keep containers of hazardous waste closed except when adding or removing <br /> hazardous waste.
