Three fuel/oil filters were stored on top of a hazardous waste drum. Used oil/fuel filters must be stored <br /> in a closed,rainproof container,labeled as"drained used oil and fuel filters," and marked with an <br /> accumulation start date. Immediately place the filters in a container and label. Ensure that all used <br /> oil/fuel filters are managed in this way. Recycle these filters under a bill of lading within one year of <br /> generation or handle as hazardous waste. We confirmed with our dealer that the fuel/oil filters were placed <br /> in the solid hazardous waste drum. The drum was removed by an authorized hauler on April 18, 2011. A copy <br /> of the manifest is attached for your review and records. <br /> Two empty 55-gallon hazardous waste drums were observed onsite without"empty" labeling. <br /> Containers larger than five gallons that previously held a hazardous material shall be marked with the <br /> date they were emptied and managed within one year of being emptied. Immediately mark and <br /> manage all empty containers per this section. On April 19, 2011, we confirmed with our dealer that the <br /> word "empty" has been added to the labels of the one solid and one liquid hazardous waste drum that are on <br /> site. <br /> Three 55-gallon partially full hazardous waste drums were observed on site.The accumulation dates on <br /> the drums were 10-9-07,9-23-09 and 1-20-08.The accumulation dates are greater than 180 days prior to <br /> today. Facilities who generate less than 1000 kg of hazardous waste per month and do not exceed 6000 <br /> kg of waste stored on site at any time may store waste on site up to 180 days. Immediately contact a <br /> licensed hazardous waste hauler to dispose of this waste under manifest and submit a copy of the <br /> manifest to the EHD by May 5,2011. These hazardous waste drums were removed by an authorized hauler <br /> on April 18, 2011.
