After I finished sample collection, we went inside the storage building located in the back of the property. This building was storing other pool chemicals in large bags: like soda ash and sodium bicarbonate (inside the building to the right of the entrance); white powder was noted on the floor around the soda ash and the sodium bi carbonate. Pool equipment was also noted. Two 2,000 gallon poly tanks of chlorine liquid were located in the northeastern corner of the back storage building. These tanks were on elevated and metal stilts and surrounded by the cinder block secondary container. The chlorine is being supplied by Hasa(and tanks are filled every 3 month in winder and every 1-2 month in summer).Mr. Walker indicated that Air Board and fire department inspect them and his tanks are all in compliance with the State. He said he is sure that they area because Hasa would not sell them the material. Mr. Walker indicated that he fills his own 1 gallon container of liquid chlorine. I asked if they have any absorbent that they use for spills and I asked about the wet floor was noted in front of the tanks (outside the secondary containment), Mr. Walker said they don't have any absorbent and if they spill any chlorine when they fill the empty containers they wash it down with water. When I asked where the liquid go does, Mr. Walker indicated that it flows outside the building and they don't recapture any reinstate. Some corrosion was noted on the drive way asphalt immediately outside the chlorine storage area. Some staining was noted in the vicinity of the bulk storage tanks. Mild (not very strong) chlorine odor was noted inside the bulk storage area. Mr. Walker stated that they don't fill the muriatic acid containers onsite and receive them pre-filled because it would be too dangerous to fill them. Walked around the perimeter of the site. One in ground grate was noted near the northwestern property corner. Mr. Walker indicated that it's a French Drain which is typically empty but it's full now with all the recent rain. I saw a 1.2-2 inch hose and a pump lying next to the drain. The end of the hose was going under the fence and to the neighboring property. I asked him what happens when the sump gets full, he indicated that they pump it out and pointed out the pump. After the walk though Mr. Walker offered to show me his SDSs for the stored materials, I reviewed the SDSs and took picture of the Air Bard letter that he had on file. 12.5% (by Hasa) Sodium Hypochlorite solution and 31.45% muriatic acid (by Hasa)were reviewed. Went to the car and discussed what I found with Muni N. and Kasey F. via phone. Per my conversation with Kasey F. I prepared the notice to abate immediately for the noted non-empty containers inside the trash and hazardous waste rinsing. Kasey indicated that I don't have to leave the checklist and to mail him the inspection report. Prepared NTA and delivered to Mr. Walker, I read the NTA to Mr. Walker and told him he needed to stop the hazardous waste rinsing and remove all hazardous waste from his trash. Discussed hazardous waste storage, and recommended retaining a hazardous waste hauler who can assist with the waste disposal. I provided the training class schedule and a sample hazardous waste label. Mr. Walker indicated that he will comply and will remove items from the trash, he signed my copy of the NTA. Mr. Walker said that he wants to know what Leslies Pools are doing for hazardous waste and he is only willing to do what Leslies are doing. I told him that I will mail him a report which will detail everything that need to be done to bring facility in compliance. I also went over the CERS requirements. I also provided a copy of "Pink and green" to apply for the hazardous waste and haz. Mat permits. 02/10/2016 Mailed Notice to Abate dated 2/5/16 by certified mail to: JOE P& BETTY LBURNS PE 2220 BLACKWELL TR, PO BOX 420, RIPON CA 95366-0420.
