r <br /> Amador Chemical DECEIVED <br /> 48011 S. Carpenter Rd (near Mariposa Rd. ) <br /> J U N 1 3 1990 <br /> Field Inspection and Review of MSDS ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH <br /> April 19. 199 , PERMIT/SERVICES <br /> Contact: . Jim Na.Ylor <br /> Amador Chemical is a small firm that makes cleaners. <br /> detergents. car wares, floor waxes. etc. They generate about <br /> 3,000 gal . of waste per month from tank cleaning. The waste <br /> comes from the cleaning of their miring tanks, which are <br /> rinsed into a shallow tubs and pumped to a holdinq tank that <br /> is open to the elements. There are two tubs. one outside and <br /> one inside. Amador Chemical also has tanks which are <br /> dedicated to only one product such as car wax or floor war. <br /> According to Naylor these tanks are never rinsed out. <br /> Acids are stored along a paved area on the western side <br /> and caustics are stored along a paved area on the eastern <br /> side of their back lot. Flamnables are stored on the northern <br /> side in small groups of barrels according to the Fire Dept. ' s <br /> requirements according to Naylor. They have no ponds, only <br /> one storm drainage pond. Some tanks of reagents with filling <br /> hoses are stored in a bermed area. Any leakaqe would be <br /> contained but would leaf: into the ground. There was one <br /> box-shaped tank of waste that was open to evaporation out on <br /> their back lot that Naylor told me was used to store waste <br /> they did not want to go into their holding tank. They put <br /> absorbent into this tank; when the absorbent had taken up all <br /> the waste they put this used absorbent into the trash for <br /> disposal . <br /> I looked through all their MSDS sheets and found the <br /> following chemicals of interest: <br /> 1 , 1. 1 - trichloroethane parafins. (napthenes) <br /> methylchloroform petroleum naptha <br /> 7 different kinds of surfactants tetrahydorfuran <br /> toluene ammonia compounds <br /> trichloroethylene quaternary ammonia <br /> threthylene glycol xvlol <br /> phosphates dimethyl benzene <br /> phenols methvi toluene <br /> phosphoric acids xylene <br /> glycol-bis-(hydoxyether) methyl ethyl ketone <br /> propyleneglycol methylether methyl isobutyl ketone <br /> methlyene chloride monoethanolamine <br /> methyl n amyl ketone methly ethyl ketone <br /> triazamine 1 . 4 dioxane <br /> chloroform <br /> n, n diethvlethanolamine <br /> I collected a sample, but at the laboratory decided not <br /> to do an analysis on it.
