The following is an itemized list of hazardous waste violations that have not been addressed for Dollar General #14353 as of May 29, 2020. Open violations from July 31, 2019 inspection Violation#103-Failed to retain hazardous waste determination including waste analysis on site for 3 years. When asked how employees determine which of the differently categorized hazardous waste(HW)totes a waste item belongs in, Tenisha Arbet, Store Manager, said each item is scanned using a hand-held scanner,which will sometimes state which HW tote the item belongs in. Tenisha indicated that when the scanner does not specify which HW tote an item belongs in, employees will read the item's label and ingredients, as well as the PSC HW guidance poster and documents(posted in the HW storage area),which provide product examples and key words for each of the HW categories,to determine which HW tote an item belongs in (see photos IMG 7815, 7819, 7830, 7862, 7875, 7901, 7923).When asked if a determination cannot be made based on the information on the item label and the guidance poster and documents, Tenisha stated she will contact her district manager. Steve Bohnak, District Manager, indicated he would call Eric Voyles, Director of Facilities Management, if needed,to ask for assistance on making the determination.Tenisha and Steve did not seem aware of Dollar General's Respond ticketing system to submit a notification to Dollar General (DG)Corporate regarding the scanning system not providing a HW category for a particular waste item. The waste items listed below were observed in the HW totes, but at the time of inspection it could not be determined how the HW determinations for each of these items were made.The hand-held scanner did not specify which HW tote the items should go in, and the PSC guidance poster and documents did not list these types of items: 1.A bag of Hickory Charcoal Briquets was found in a Toxic HW tote(IMG 7819-23). 2.A bag of six damaged Citrus Zest candles was found in a Oxidizer HW tote(IMG 7830-1, 7847-8). 3.
