The following was noted at the time of inspection: 1)This facility has an outdoor pressure washing area used for equipment(forklift, etc.,).This area is located adjacent to the most western property boundary. The system is equipped with an in ground tank/sump with the capacity of approximately 150 gallons and several above ground clarifier tanks. According to Mr. Scott Dahlgren it's a closed loop system with several above ground clarifier tanks that utilize a reusable filter system. Mr. Dahlgren indicated that clarifier filters are washed back into the inground sump system and are re-used. During the inspection a sludge like substance was noted on the paved surface inside the pressure washing bay; the stored material was dark black in color and the area it covered measured several feet across several inches in hight and at least 10 feet in length. Mr. Dahlgren indicated that the sludge is being dried and Rowie Sizemore indicated that they will be making a hazardous waste determination for this material. 2)Two metal storage containers were noted outside the shop area adjacent to the western building wall; both of these storage containers had some free flowing liquid with rainbow sheen and were 1/4 full of empty plastic containers. The two large metal containers were 6-7 feet long and 3-4 feet tall and had no lids. They were labeled as "Central Valley Recycling 209-544-1578". Mr. Dahlgren indicated that these plastic containers (approximately 1-2 gallons each which previously held automotive liquids) are placed outside once they are completely drained of any liquid to be picked up by the Central Valley Recycling; Mr. Dahlgren indicated that this company takes the entire metal container; no sorting or liquid removal takes place at the site. A container draining area was noted inside the hazardous waste storage room. 3) Liquid with some rainbow sheen was also noted insite the secondary containment for the outside 255 gallon diesel oil tank located in the southwestern portion of the property. Rowie Sizemore indicated that the liquid will be removed and a hazardous waste determination will be made for the removed liquid. Any person who generates a waste shall determine if the waste is a hazardous waste. Immediately make a hazardous waste determination for the above noted liquids and sludge, and manage them according the Title 22 hazardous waste regulations. Submit a statement and supporting documentation explaining how this waste was managed. This is a Class II violation. Page 4 of 12
