Mr. Meyers then led us to the explosion proof mixing room. This room is located in the extreme southeast corner of the can plant. Hazardous materials and hazardous wastes are stored within this room. Since the last inspection, an alarm button has been installed on the west wall that is connected to an audible and visual alarm outside the room. Inside this room, I observed two drums labeled as hazardous waste that had accumulation start dates of May 11, 1993 and April 16, 1993. As we exited the room, I asked Mr. Meyers if there was any decontamination equipment located in the room. He pointed over to the wall next to the coater. The eye wash was located approximately 70 feet away on the south wall of the can plant. Mr. Meyers then led us to the "press" department where the ends of the cans are attached to the can bodies with an adhesive material. Adjacent to the press department is the "assembly" department. At this location, a solvent wastestream is generated from the cleaning of machines and from cleaning a series of chains used to catch enamel overspray. We then went outside to an area where forklifts are maintained. Next to the west wall of the forklift shop was a blue 55 gallon drum containing what Mr. Williams identified as waste crankcase oil. This drum did not have a hazardous waste label. Another hazardous materials and hazardous waste storage area is located outside the forklift shop. At this location, I observed a drum of hazardous waste, containing Methyl Isobutyl Ketone, Xylene. This drum did not have a start date of accumulation identified on it. Ms. Violett and I returned to Mr. Williams' office to review hazardous waste manifests, contingency plans, employee training records, hazardous waste reduction plan, etc. When we arrived at Mr. Williams' office, we were introduced to Boyd Stevens, Director of Technical Services. Ms. Violett reviewed the hazardous waste manifests and determined 19.2 tons of hazardous waste was manifested offsite in 1992. Ms. Violett noted several land disposal restriction notification forms were lacking for several manifests including #91681491. When asked, Mr. Boyd explained the waste oil generated at this address is taken to the forklift shop that Pacific Coast Producers owns at 941 S. Stockton St. Mr. Boyd furnished several manifests for waste oil disposal from Evergreen Environmental Services, 6880 Smith Ave., Newark, CA 94560. In 1992, 7.1 tons of waste oil was removed from 99941 S. Stockton St. Mr. Boyd was unable to determine how much of this waste was actually generated at 835 S. Stockton St. or the quantity of oil generated from motor vehicles versus machinery. When asked, Mr. Boyd explained Pacific Coast Producers does not have a formal hazardous waste minimization plan. 5
