IV. <br />V. <br />VI. <br />E <br />Lodi, CA. The plant <br />individual in charge <br />"Ted" Meyers. This <br />location since 1963. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />manager is Al Saldano, and the <br />of hazardous waste management is E.R. <br />facility has been in operation at this <br />On March 1, 1988, PHS-EHD investigated a complaint alleging <br />illegal disposal of hazardous waste at Pacific Coast <br />Producers. The complaint could not be validated, but as a <br />result of the inspection, Pacific Coast Producers was <br />placed on the hazardous waste generator list. On September <br />22, 1988, PHS-EHD investigated another complaint alleging <br />illegal disposal of hazardous waste into a dumpster. An <br />inspection was conducted and the complaint could not be <br />validated. <br />r � r <br />Pacific Coast Producers can plant manufactures tin cans for <br />their food processing plant located at 32 N. Tokay Street, <br />Lodi, CA. <br />The can manufacturing process initially involves an <br />application of enamel coating to sheets of tin. The sheets <br />of enamel coated tin are then baked at 400° F for ten <br />minutes to cure the enamel. After the enamel has been <br />cured, the sheets of tin are cut and shaped into cylinders. <br />The final step involves attaching a circular enamel coated <br />tin piece to one end of the cylinder with an adhesive. <br />Once the end has been attached to the cylinder, circular <br />indentations are made to increase the strength of the can. <br />This facility generates three waste streams: <br />1) A solvent sludge referred to as "lights" is generated <br />from changing the enamel in the machine that applies <br />the enamel to the tin sheets. <br />2) Another solvent waste is generated from cleaning <br />machine parts and from a chain filtration system that <br />collects enamel overspray that is applied to some <br />welded seams on the cylinders. This sludge is referred <br />to as "heavys". <br />In 1990, Romic Chemical Corporation, 2081 Bay Road, <br />East Palo Alto, CA, manifested 15.5 tons of solvent <br />generated from both "heavys" and "lights" waste <br />streams. In 1991, 18.45 tons of both solvent waste <br />streams were manifested off site by Romic Chemical. <br />N <br />
