OBSERVATION: 1. Metal fines were observed on the ground inside the warehouse, and on the ground, beneath a saw, and on equipment outside and west of the warehouse in the welding area(see photos IMG 1059-62, 1065-70, 1079-80). According to Edward Brown,Administrative Assistant, the metal fines are recycled with the rest of the facility's scrap metal at Alegre Trucking in Lodi, CA.According to Teresa Lockhart, Shop Manager, the metal fines are disposed of into the trash. The facility has not made a hazardous waste determination on the metal fines. 2. Used absorbent was observed on and around what appeared to be recent and historic oil spills on the ground in the warehouse(IMG 1063-4).According to Teresa, absorbent used to clean up oil spills is disposed of into the trash,without first making a hazardous waste determination. 3.An open unlabeled 55-gallon drum of used oil was observed with oil residue on the sides of the drum, located outside in the north-west area of the facility(IMG 1074-5).The used oil appeared to have spilled down the sides of the drum, and impacted the wooden pallet and soil beneath the drum (IMG 1076). 4. Dark staining was observed on the soil outside in the north-west area of the facility(IMG 1072-3).When asked what the staining was from, Teresa stated an old vehicle used to be parked in this location, indicating the vehicle may have leaked vehicle fluids onto the ground. REGULATION GUIDANCE:A hazardous waste generator must maintain and operate its facility to minimize the possibility of a fire, explosion, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air, soil, or surface water which could threaten human health or the environment. CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately clean up and containerize the metal fines inside and outside of the warehouse. Immediately clean up the oil spills in the warehouse and on the soil outside, and containerize the used absorbent and contaminated soil. Manage each waste according to Title 22 California Code of Regulations for hazardous waste.
