SAN ,dDAQ U I N Environmental Health Department C01-1 N T Large Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator Inspection Report Facility Name: Facility Address: Date: J M EQUIPMENT COMPANY INC 321 SPRECKELS AVE, MANTECA January 22, 2020 SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS (CLASS I,CLASS II,or MINOR-Notice to Comply) Item# Remarks 503 CCR 66265.192(k) Hazardous waste tank assessment is incomplete. OBSERVATION: This facility has hazardous waste tanks with incomplete tank assessments. Hazardous waste tank assessment for one 500 gallon used oil tank performed by Pacific Engineering&Consulting on 11-25-2019. "Tank assessment states that 500 gallon used oil tank does not meet the requirements for structural integrity in accordance to 22 CCR 66265.192 due to two aftermarket 1/4"holes on the north head.These holes compromise the tank's ability to be leak tight." Compliance requirements have not been met by the operator and the 500 used oil tank is still actively in use. Operator states as of this month he has been actively looking to close out the 500 gallon used oil tank and install a new used oil tank. Note: Inspector provided tank closure form. REGULATION GUIDANCE: Title 22 California Code of Regulations section 66265.192(a) Owners or operators of new tank systems or components shall ensure that the foundation, structural support, seams, connections, and pressure controls(if applicable)are adequately designed and that the tank system has sufficient structural strength, compatibility with the waste(s)to be transferred, stored or treated, and corrosion protection so that it will not collapse, rupture, or fail.The owner or operator shall obtain a written assessment reviewed and certified by an independent, qualified, professional engineer, registered in California in accordance with section 66270.11(d)attesting that the system has sufficient structural integrity, is acceptable for the transferring, storing and treating of hazardous waste, and that the tanks and containment system are suitably designed to achieve the requirements of this article. This assessment shall be obtained prior to placing the tank system in service, and shall be kept on file at the facility.This assessment shall also include, at a minimum,the following information: (1)design standard(s)according to which the tank(s)and ancillary equipment are or will be constructed; (2)hazardous characteristics of the waste(s)to be handled; (3)for new tank systems or components in which the external shell of a metal tank or any external metal component of the tank system is or will be in contact with the soil or with water, a determination by a corrosion expert of: (A)factors affecting the potential for corrosion, including but not limited to: 1. soil moisture content; 2. soil pH; 3. soil sulfides level; 4. soil resistivity; 5. structure to soil potential; 6. influence of nearby underground metal structures(e.g., piping); 7. stray electric current; and, 8. existing corrosion-protection measures(e.g., coating, cathodic protection), and (B)the type and degree of external corrosion protection that are needed to ensure the integrity of the tank system during the use of the tank system or component, consisting of one or more of the following: 1. corrosion-resistant materials of construction such as special alloys or fiberglass-reinforced plastic; 2. corrosion-resistant coating (such as epoxy or fiberglass)with cathodic protection (e.g., impressed current or sacrificial anodes); and 3. electrical isolation devices such as insulating joints and flanges; (4)for underground tank system components that are likely to be affected by vehicular traffic, a determination of design or operational measures that will protect the tank system against potential damage; and FA0014792 PR0521786 SCO01 01/22/2020 EHD 22-02 Rev.9/20/2019 Page 7 of 12 Large Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator OIR 1868 E.
