January 7,2003 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Inspection Report. Item 19 referred to two 55-gallon drums of unknown contents and one <br /> large bag of fuel filters. The manifest at Attachment C, dated April 24, 2002, was for <br /> disposal of three drums of"Gasoline and Water Mixture." Based on the description of the <br /> waste in the manifest, I believe that the April 24`h manifest showed disposal of the two <br /> drums of unknown contents, but not the fuel filters. I have not yet confirmed how the <br /> dealer managed disposal of the fuel filters. Used absorbent and fuel filter waste is generated <br /> by the lessee-dealer and it is the lessee-dealer who is responsible for the proper <br /> management and disposal of this material. <br /> Item 20 on August 26, 2002 Inspection Report <br /> As I explained in my November 20`h letter, in response to Item 20 from the August 26`x' <br /> Inspection Report, BP has taken steps to educate the dealer at ARCO Facility No. 2133 on <br /> proper hazardous waste labeling practices. In addition, although BP believes that its <br /> hazardous label is compliant, it is exploring revising the label to ensure that the EHD is <br /> satisfied with its form. <br /> Item 21 on August 26 2002 Inspection Report <br /> Item 21 on the August 26`s Inspection Report related to the requirement that hazardous <br /> waste containers be kept closed. Specifically, this item related to the 30 gallon carboy of <br /> antifreeze, which was the dealer's waste. In my November 20`h letter, I explained steps BP <br /> has taken to educate the dealer on proper hazardous waste management, including that <br /> "contractor will be requested to submit a copy of manifests for the transportation of <br /> hazardous waste to the facility." In hindsight, I realize that this statement could be read two <br /> ways. By this statement, I was referring to the fact that the contractor will be requested to <br /> submit the manifests to the facility(not that the hazardous waste would be transported to <br /> the facility). <br /> Item 45 on April 4. 2002 Inspection Report <br /> The April 4th Inspection Report indicated for this item that the facility had an"incomplete <br /> contingency plan"and that a form outlining the missing information was provided to the <br /> facility. In my November 20th letter, I responded that BP had completed the requested <br /> form and enclosed a copy of that Hazardous Waste Emergency Information form as <br /> Attachment E. In my November 20`s letter, I referred to that form as a"contingency plan," <br /> using the same terminology used in the Inspection Report. To clarify, the Hazardous Waste <br /> Emergency Information form is the informational form that a small quantity generator must <br /> keep by the phone under 40 CFR 262.34(d), and is not formally defined as a contingency <br /> plan in the applicable regulations. I understand that the ARCO Facility No. 2133 does not <br /> generate more than 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste per month, and therefore is not <br /> required to have a large-quantity generator contingency plan under Section 66265.52. <br />
