SAN JOAQUIN -:aU; i y Environmental Health Department AMENDED 116/2020 Large Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator Inspection Report Facility Name: Facility Address: 1 Date: PEP BOYS #562 1401 S CHEROKEE LN, LODI December 20, 2019 SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS (CLASS I, CLASS II, or MINOR - Notice to Comply) Item # Remarks 403 CCR 66265.173 Failed to keep hazardous waste containers closed except when adding or removing hazardous waste. OBSERVATION: The following open hazardous waste storage containers were observed on-site: 1. A red 5 -gallon container, about half filled with used oil, was observed with a hole in it's lid through which a drain tube ran from a metal oil filter crusher, located on the south side of the service bay area. The tube was not secured to the container, nor the lid, and there was enough space around the tube where it entered the lid hole to see the used oil in the container (see photos IMG 9873-7). The container was labeled as hazardous waste used oil and marked "drain weekly" in the space for the accumulation start date. 2. An open grey tote labeled "Returns Service" and located under a front register, contained a partially filled aerosol can of VHT Flame Proof Primer (IMG 9916, 9918-20). The aerosol can was missing it's actuator/nozzle and was labeled as "Extremely Flammable." It was unclear how long ago the aerosol can had been placed in the "Returns Service" tote. According to the facility's Hazardous Waste Training Guide, posted in the hazardous waste storage area next to the store's break room, items that are partially full and/or are missing the nozzle/cap are identified as waste, and flammable aerosols are identified as Hazardous Waste Aerosols, Flammables, and Combustibles (AF) (IMG 9948-59). At the time of inspection, hazardous waste storage area, located next to the store's break room, had an empty tote designated for Ignitable Flammable (FL) Hazardous Waste. REGULATION GUIDANCE: A container holding hazardous waste shall always be closed during transfer and storage, except when it is necessary to add or remove waste. CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately ensure all hazardous waste is placed in a closable container, close these containers. and ensure all hazardous waste containers are closed when not adding or removing waste. Provide a corrective action statement and supporting documentation to the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department within 30 days. This is a Class II violation. 501 CCR 66262.34(f) Failed to completely label stationary hazardous waste tanks. OBSERVATION: The hazardous waste tank storing waste antifreeze and the hazardous waste tank storing oily water did not have complete labeling. Both tanks appeared to contain waste antifreeze and oily water, respectively, and were missing the accumulation start date (see photos 9888-97, 9900-5). REGULATION GUIDANCE: All hazardous waste tanks shall be marked with the words "Hazardous Waste" and the accumulation start date. CORRECTIVE ACTION: Label the hazardous waste tanks with the words "Hazardous Waste" and the accumulation start date. Provide a corrective action statement and supporting documentation to the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) within 30 days. This is a Class II violation.
