TRI � NS DEPARTmENr V U e _ ,_ _- GRDTallace, �tii MORANDU To: Robpez, OES San Joaquin County PlAmt 4 From: Jefucking cc: Dan Bob Bennett 10/10/94 Subject: FOLP ON FINDINGS FROM OES INSPECTION ON 10/6/94 . On 10/6/9 , Robert Lopez from OES made an inspection of TVG plant 4 in St ckton, California. During the inspection we came across an area on the east side of the plant near the north/east side of the ch rry sheds which had some open drums stored in the area which had used oil and rain water in them. That same day, Mike Infurna f om the County Health Department was notified., He spoke with our USDA inspector in the plant, Debbie, about looking the area over o make sure that there was no contamination to the cherry storage bins next to the drums from the water contaminat-ad with oil next to it. The USDA confirmed our findings that the water level w s only half way up the pallet base of the bins, approximately 2 inches, which house the area for the forks on a forklift. The inspector was also notified that the bins were lined with a hard p astic and the cherries inside were also in a bag liner as well. We did note the bins which we were concerned with and we will in pect them carefully when we process them. On 10/7/9 , John Johnson and myself sealed up these drums and cleaned the w ter with oil absorbent pillows and pads. We then labeled them p and placed two of them in over packs because the ring tops were not DOT approved. We took the remaining pillows and pads on 10/8/9 , which were left to soak up the remaining oil, and placed them 'n waste drums which were already being used for absorbent. The two old caustic drums which. were found out in the old equipment storage area were also disposed of by being sealed up and put into labeled overpacks for hazardous material disposal. We have also clea ed up the berm that housed the diesel fuel tanks and have labeled he west tank. We are c aining up the remaining gas cylinders which were unchained dur. ng the inspection and consolidating all our drums full and empt and disposing of our empty ones through approved companies. I am still working on the map and reviewing chemical invento- ries for the map. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to call. My number is (209) 931-8072 .
