Operator states that all metals are taken to Sims metal <br /> management located at 1000 South Aurora Street Stockton California 95206 <br /> REGULATION GUIDANCE: Any person who generates a waste shall determine if the waste is a hazardous waste <br /> as specified in Title 22 California Code of Regulations(CCR). There are wastes that are listed as hazardous <br /> wastes. There are wastes that exhibit one or more of the hazardous waste characteristics:toxic, corrosive, reactive <br /> or ignitable. Metal particles 100 microns or smaller in size must be handled and disposed of as hazardous waste if <br /> the metal is determined to be a hazardous waste. Metal particles larger than 100 microns in size can be recycled as <br /> scrap metal. <br /> CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately stop the removal of scrap metal, make a hazardous waste determination for <br /> each waste, and manage it according to Title 22 CCR. Use Safety Data Sheets(SDS),waste sampling and test <br /> results or other knowledge to make your hazardous waste determination. Waste testing must be done using <br /> methods specified in Title 22 CCR including Title 22 CCR sections 66261.20-24. <br /> Submit a statement and supporting documentation with your hazardous waste determination. Demonstrate current <br /> storage and labeling for wastes determined to be hazardous wastes. Provide disposal records for wastes <br /> determined to be hazardous wastes and stored longer than the number of days specified in Title 22 CCR for your <br /> hazardous waste generator status. <br /> This is a repeat violation, Class II. <br /> 301 CCR 66262.34(d)(2) Facility not maintained to minimize the release of a hazardous waste. <br /> OBSERVATION: The following were observed in both shops: <br /> -Absorbent pads saturated with oil observed on the floor of shops. Found underneath various metal grinding <br /> machines. <br /> Note: Operator states that absorbent pads are placed underneath machines due to oil leaking out of them. He <br /> states that the absorbent pads are cleaned up once completely saturated and placed into waste solids container, <br /> managed as hazardous waste. <br /> REGULATION GUIDANCE:A hazardous waste generator must maintain and operate its facility to minimize the <br /> possibility of a fire, explosion, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous <br /> waste constituents to air, soil, or surface water which could threaten human health or the environment. <br /> CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately clean saturated absorbent pads and fix any leaking machine parts if possible. <br /> Manage the waste according to Title 22 California Code of Regulations for hazardous waste. Submit a statement <br /> and supporting documentation to the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department describing the storage <br /> and final disposition of the cleaned up waste. <br /> This is a minor violation. <br /> FA0012417 PR0516007 SCO01 01/21/2020 <br /> EHD 22-01 Rev.9/20/2019 Page 4 of 6 Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator OIR <br /> 1868 E.
