I requested to see their contingency plan. LMT has a contingency plan, however, Mr. Beitz stated they were currently updating it in conjunction with their business plan. When Mr. Hunt and I inquired about the employee hazardous materials training program, Mr Beitz stated the training program had not been formally implemented although LMT holds monthly safety meetings. Bob Lind,Hazardous Materials Manager,came into Mr. Beitz's office. Mr. Lind was introduced and was asked by Mr. Beitz to give us a tour of the facility. Mr. Hunt, Mr. Lind and I exited the office building and proceeded across the street to the welding shop. Mr. Lind escorted us through the welding shop and to the conveyorized paint operation. Next, Mr. Lind, Mr. Hunt and I saw the storage area for new and waste oil. There was waste oil spillage on the cement floor. One fifty-five (55) gallon drum was unlabeled. Mr. HuntMnd I discussed the proper handling of waste oil with Mr. Lind. Mr. Lind escorted us to the paint sludge storage area where I saw approximately sixty drums (55 gallon drums) of paint sludge without proper hazardous waste labels. Finally,Mr. Lind,Mr.Hunt and I visited the area where metal supports for portable school buildings are painted. This process uses 1,1,1,Trichloroethane solvent based paint. The 1,1,1,Trichloroethane is used as paint thinner and to clean paint spray equipment. IX. DISCUSSION WITH MANAGEMENT: Mr. Lind, Mr. Hunt and I crossed Kelly Street and entered the office. We were joined by Steve Schnable,a designated hazardous materials person. Mr. Hunt and I discussed the proper labeling of the paint sludge and waste oil. Mr. Hunt and I recommended Mr. Lind clean up the oil spillage in the waste oil storage area. I informed Mr. Lind that a copy of the inspection would be mailed to LMT on South Kelly Street. At this time Mr. Hunt and I departed. On December 3, 1990 1 received a copy of the results from the Bio Assay for a sludge sample. The testing laboratory was MEC Analytical Systems, Inc. Bio Assay Division,98 Main Street, Suite 428, Tiburon, CA. 94920. This report contains the results of a sludge sample. The sample location and transportation method are not specified. The sample results were submitted as LMT's Way of self classifying under Article 11. On January 28, 1991 I phoned Mr. Dalton Beitz and requested clarification on the amount of hazardous waste generated. In addition, I spoke to Mr. Beitz about the employee training. I requested information on the disposal of paint sludge. Mr. Beitz stated the paint sludge is being taken to Harney Land Landfill. 4
