Y <br /> SITE RECONNAISSANCE INTERVIEW AND OBSERVATIONS REPORT (Cont'd) ~` <br /> Site: Busy Bee Laundry and Cleaning <br /> washing machines and a Suprema dry cleaning machine. Waste drums containing condensation <br /> water, used filter cartridges, and distillation sludge are stored in this room. Also stored in this <br /> room is a large barrel containing rags to mop up spills of the solvent tetrachloroethene, also known <br /> as perchloroethene (PCE). The southern part of the building is primarily used as a clothes <br /> pressing area. Clothes racks, a boiler, and two laundry machines are also located in this room. <br /> The Busy Bee facility operates a Suprema dry cleaning machine with a capacity of 35 pounds of <br /> clothes. Seventy-five gallons of PCE are stored within the machine. Approximately 5 gallons of <br /> PCE are used every week in the dry cleaning operation. The wastes generated during the dry <br /> cleaning process include distillation sludge, used filter cartridges, and condensation water <br /> (condensate). The distillation sludge generated at Busy Bee is stored in a 20-gallon drum. The <br /> condensate is collected through a hose, drained into a 5-gallon bucket, and then stored in a <br /> 15-gallon drum. Used filter cartridges are stored in a 55-gallon drum. Three filter cartridges are <br /> used for every 3,500 pounds of clothes that are cleaned. The stored drums are hauled away every <br /> six weeks by Technichem, Inc., a hazardous waste hauler. <br /> Mr. Roes provided the Bechtel site visit team with a document prepared by his attorney. The <br /> document outlined the history of the site and the processes used at the facility. He also provided <br /> copies of the RCRA permit and an emissions permit from the San Joaquin Air Pollution Control <br /> District. <br /> SI Busy Bee Laundry and Cleaning-0(F)• 1/93 E-2 Printed on 50%recycled paper. 7a_2 <br />
