VIII. OBSERVATIONS: Ms. Foley and I arrived on site at approximately 9:30 a.m. We met Scott Granneman, Environmental Coordinator, and were led to his office in the southwest corner of the facility near the foam production line. We first reviewed the facility records which included the contingency plan, hazardous waste manifests, and emergency plan. No hazardous waste personnel training records were available. Mr. Granneman is currently compiling a hazardous waste training program which will comply with Title 22, California Code of Regulations, Chapter 15, Article 2, Section 66265.16. We noted the training violation and also noted that an agreement of contract with an environmental cleanup company was not included in the contingency plan. When we were reviewing hazardous waste manifest, it was noted that four manifests did not have Land Ban certificates attached. We also discovered that the U listing for methylene chloride was incorrect; the number should be listed as U080. After reviewing the hazardous waste manifests, we asked to inspect the waste oil, waste oil filters (if not recycled), and safety clean disposal recycling receipts. These records were unavailable for inspection. We then proceeded on the site tour. First, we inspected the foam production, storage, and cutting areas. A drum used to store methylene chloride waste at the point of generation was not closed. We then proceeded to the maintenance shop in the middle of the complex. Hazardous waste is stored at this point of generation, but no decontamination equipment is readily available. We continued through the storage and foam recycling area to the hazardous waste storage area where we found two unlabeled drums containing hazardous waste. The chemical storage areas and truck maintenance shop were next on our inspection. Four drums of waste oil were unlabeled. Receipts of recent pickups by Refinery Services could not be inspected so accumulation start dates could not be verified. The drums were also found to be open. Behind the maintenance shop, a barrel of paint/solvent waste was open and unlabeled. A small amount of paint had been spilled on the ground. We concluded the site inspection with an inspection of the underground tank. An underground storage tank inspection report was sent under separate cover. We noted that the past violation from the PHS-EHD (August 22, 1990)inspection (manifest copies were not sent to CAL EPA Department of Toxic Substance Control) had been corrected. Another violation noted in 1989 was the lacking waste oil receipts. This continues to be a problem, but Mr. Granneman assured me that the waste oil is disposed of properly by Refinery Services. �4
