The following is an itemized list of hazardous waste violations that have not been addressed for DOLLAR GENERAL#14130 as of May 29, 2020. Open violations from July 19, 2019 inspection Violation#103-Failed to retain hazardous waste determination including waste analysis on site for 3 years. According to Bill Davis, Store Manager, in order to determine if a waste item is a hazardous waste (HW), and to determine which HW tote the item should be placed into based on its hazardous properties, employee's use a hand-held item scanning system. Once a waste item's barcode is scanned,the scanner's screen will prompt the employee if the item is HW by stating which of the seven different HW totes the item should be placed in.The seven different HW totes at the facility are labeled as flammable,oxidizer, acid, alkaline,toxic, smoking cessation, and universal waste. The bagged waste items listed below were found in HW totes at the time of inspection, however the hand-held scanner prompted Bill to place the items into the"Appropriate" HW tote, but did not specify which of the seven totes.According to Bill,when this occurs, employees rely on the Dollar General (DG) Environmental Compliance Poster(Poster)(see photo IMG 7483)and the DG Guidance document(IMG 7497-502)posted next to the HW storage area,to determine which HW tote an item should be placed in. However,the DG Poster and Guidance document did not include the items listed below, nor a similar type of item,to assist employees in making an accurate HW determination. 1.A Glade candle,found in the Toxic HW tote. (IMG 7486, 7495-6, 7527) 2.A seemingly empty container of Pine Glo Antibacterial and Disinfectant cleaner,found in the Toxic HW tote. According to Bill,this cleaner was a store-use item,which was used by employees to clean the facility. Bill stated that store-use items are given a store use number and have the item's barcode crossed out.According to Bill, empty chemical containers are also scanned to determine which hazardous waste tote the item should be placed in. Bill stated he thought the Pine Glo should go into the Flammable HW tote since he thought Pine Sol cleaner, which is pictured on the DG Flammable HW Guidance,was similar to the Pine Glo cleaner. (IMG 7507-10) Bill stated if he is still unable to determine which HW tote a waste item belongs in, he will usually place the item into the Toxic HW tote. Bill also mentioned he can submit a ticket to corporate notifying them about an item that is not assigned a specific HW tote on the scanner, so that corporate can update the scanning system. Immediately locate a copy of the hazardous waste determination made for the hazardous waste items listed above, ensure store employees are familiar with these waste determinations, and submit a copy to the EHD. If a copy is unavailable, immediately make a hazardous waste determination and begin managing the above listed waste under Title 22 hazardous waste regulations. ❑ This violation was corrected ❑This violation will be corrected by(date): ❑ Supporting documents included Describe actions taken or will be taken to correct violation: Page 1 of 4
