SWPC 4 i.';M M ICY LZ <br /> MAY I j9po <br /> April 25, 1990 `-NVIRONMENTAL HEALT: <br /> PERMIT/SERVICES <br /> Public Health Services <br /> Mr. Ron Valinoti, Director <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> P. O. Box 2009, 1601 E. Hazelton Ave. <br /> Stockton, CA 95201 <br /> RE: Report of Violation and Schedule of Correction for <br /> Sumiden Wire Products Corporation dated 2/26/90, <br /> and received at SWPC: on 3/15/90 <br /> Dear Mr. Valinoti: <br /> This letter concerns the "Report of Violation and Schedule of Correction" <br /> letter we received; Mr. Wayne Mannor's meeting with Ms. Donna Heran of <br /> your office, and your re-inspection on April 10th of this year. <br /> The pictures of the stated violations in your letter dated 2/26/90, <br /> were not available when Mr. Mannor went to the County Offices to meet <br /> with Ms. Heran. They were made available however, on your re-inspection <br /> of our Plant site. <br /> The pictures were very useful in identifying the activities which were <br /> referred to as "violations". The following is our response to the <br /> "Report of Violations": <br /> 1. "Bags of zinc phosphate filter cake were on the ground behind <br /> the Plant, one was opened and spilling onto the ground." <br /> SWPC does not put filter cake in bags. SWPC does not put it <br /> behind the Plant. SWPC never allows it to touch the ground. <br /> The report may be referring to Drawing Sludge which is not a <br /> haz arucus :. :tom, :1 ch .�uS ho; r <br /> .r, dried out beforejksed,- <br /> 2. "Scale from heat exchangers was uncovered in 3 fiberboard drums." <br /> Your pictures verified that these were not fiber board drums, <br /> they were metal drums. The pictures also verified that the <br /> metal drums were inside the building and also were inside a <br /> bermed area. We use these metal drums as "clean out containers" <br /> and "transfer vehicles". These drums are never used for <br /> storage. SWPC removes scale from the heat exchangers, places <br /> it in the drums, and then transfers the scale to a 10-yard drop <br /> box outside the Plant. This process takes place each 8 to 10 <br /> working days, and we use the same barrels over and over again. <br /> Basically, we treat them as trash cans. If there is a violation, <br /> we will see to it that it is corrected. In the meantime, SWPC <br /> will see to it that no scale is stored in fiber board drums. <br /> SUMIDEN WIRE PRODUCTS CORPORATION <br /> 1412 EL PINAL DRIVE•STOCKTON,CA 95205 P.O.BOX 8719•STOCKTON,CA 95208 209-466-8924•TELEX 359424 <br />
