Box 2009 • (1601 East Hazelton Avenue) • Stockton, California 95201 <br />(209) 468-3400 <br />March 10, 1993 <br />RAE MARGRAVE <br />6247 E JAHANT ROAD <br />ACAIMPO CA 95220 <br />RE: 510 E. Lodi Ave. <br />Lodi, Ca <br />Complaint #93-0218 <br />A complaint has been received by this office regarding your handling/disposal of waste <br />oil. <br />Waste oil is considered a hazardous waste in the State of California pursuant to Title 22, <br />California Administrative Code, Section 66680, because it is likely to contain a hazardous <br />material (for example; heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) etc.). Any <br />disposal of waste oil must be managed in accordance with the generator requirements <br />outlined in Title 22 of the California Administrative Code, Article 6, unless a waste <br />analysis is performed verifying no hazardous constituents are present. A detailed waste <br />analysis is a costly procedure. Therefore, to attempt classification of waste oil as non- <br />hazardous is generally an unreasonable management method. <br />To dispose of waste oil in storm drains, sanitary sewer systems or to the land is illegal <br />and may result in the taking of enforcement action by the California Department of <br />Health Services, Toxic Substance Control Division. Substantial penalties can result from <br />failure to comply with the law. <br />If you are a residence, you are exempt from the generator requirements outlined below. <br />There are many recycling centers available to properly dispose of your waste oil. For <br />further information about these centers, look in the Yellow Pages of the telephone book <br />under 'Recycling Facilities" or call this office. <br />If you are a business, you must achieve compliance with State regulations as a waste oil <br />generator and comply with the following: <br />1. Store waste oil in leak -proof containers. Waste oil may not be stored for <br />longer than ninety (90) days without a storage permit or a variance from <br />the California Department of Health Services, Toxic Substance Control <br />Division, to store waste in excess of the 90 day limit. <br />A Division of San Jmquin County Health C r Sev m Q <br />
