NARRATIVE El Camino Tire On May 10, 2006, Robert McClellon and Garrett Backus conducted a routine waste tire inspection at El Camino Tire, 2498 E Main St, Stockton, CA 95205. Approximately 860 waste tires and 2500 used tires were stored at the facility. Some of the tires included in the waste tire count were used tires which were not stored in two wide barrel stacks. Used tires must be stacked or racked in a way which allows access and inspection. Mr. McClellon explained to the operator that used tires must be stored on racks or barrel- stacked in rows of two and that there must be a walkway between the two wide barrel stacks. Mr. McClellon showed the operator which used tires were stored incorrectly. Mr. Backus took photographs of incorrectly stored used tires; see image 106_0690. Mr. Backus asked the operator who removes waste tires from the facility. He stated that Padilla Disposal hauls waste tires from the facility several times each month. Mr. Backus asked to see the Comprehensive Trip Logs (CTLs) for the removal of tires from the site. The operator provided several recent CTLs, filled out by Padilla Disposal, which documented the removal of waste tires from the site. Mr. McClellon asked if tires from other El Camino Tire stores were being brought to the facility. The operator stated that approximately 200 used and waste tires are being hauled to this facility every week. Mr. Backus asked the operator to provide CTLs for incoming waste and used tires. The operator indicated that he did not have CTLs for tires delivered to the facility. Mr. Backus explained to the operator that hauling 10 or more waste or used tires requires waste tire hauler registration with the California Integrated Waste Management Board and that each load of tires must be documented using CTL forms. A white panel truck was parked on the facility property with California license 2FAE874. The truck did not have a waste tire hauler decal on the front window. Mr. Backus took photographs of the truck; see images 106_0692 and 106_0693. Mr. McClellon and Mr. Backus noticed two plastic barrels with approximately 50 gallon capacity each on the facility property. The barrels were full of a liquid which looked like waste oil. The barrels were not labeled and did not have secure lids. One of the barrels contained trash floating on top of the liquid. Mr. McClellon observed waste oil leaking from an automobile transmission which had been removed from a vehicle. The oil stain on the ground was approximately 1.5 feet in diameter. Mr. McClellon contacted the business owner, Rode Montijo, by telephone and scheduled a meeting on May 16, 2006 at 10:00 am at the facility. On May 16, 2006, Mr. McClellon and Mr. Backus met with Mr. Montijo at the facility. Mr. McClellon explained to Mr. Montijo that used tires must be stored on racks or barrel- stacked in rows of two and that there must be a walkway between the two wide barrel stacks. Mr. McClellon showed Mr. Montijo which used tires were stored incorrectly. D 0 Page 1 of 3 r,
