S0 JOA U 1 Environmental Health Department <br /> U ; I y I AMENDED <br /> 11/21/2019 <br /> Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator Inspection Report <br /> Facility Name: Facility Address: Date: <br /> SWISS AMERICAN SAUSAGE CO 251 DARCY PKWY, LATHROP November 20, 2019 <br /> SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS <br /> (CLASS I,CLASS II,or MINOR-Notice to Comply) <br /> Item# Remarks <br /> 102 CCR 66262.11 Failed to determine if a waste is a hazardous waste. <br /> OBSERVATIONS: The following were observed in the metal grinding room. <br /> -Metal fines observed on metal grinding machine. <br /> -Metal fines saturated with hydraulic oil observed on metal cutting machine. <br /> -Batteries observed on top of 15 gallon container with universal waste aerosols. Operator states that he cannot <br /> dispose of batteries as universal waste batteries and does not know how to dispose of them <br /> Note: Operator states that he does not know what is done with the metal fines. He thinks the metal fines are left on <br /> the machines. <br /> REGULATION GUIDANCE: Any person who generates a waste shall determine if the waste is a hazardous waste <br /> as specified in Title 22 California Code of Regulations(CCR). There are wastes that are listed as hazardous <br /> wastes. There are wastes that exhibit one or more of the hazardous waste characteristics:toxic, corrosive, reactive <br /> or ignitable. Metal particles 100 microns or smaller in size must be handled and disposed of as hazardous waste if <br /> the metal is determined to be a hazardous waste. Metal particles larger than 100 microns in size can be recycled as <br /> scrap metal. <br /> CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately make a hazardous waste determination for the metal fines and batteries , <br /> and manage it according to Title 22 CCR. Use Safety Data Sheets(SDS),waste sampling and test results or other <br /> knowledge to make your hazardous waste determination. Waste testing must be done using methods specified in <br /> Title 22 CCR including Title 22 CCR sections 66261.20-24. <br /> Submit a statement and supporting documentation with your hazardous waste determination. Demonstrate current <br /> storage and labeling for wastes determined to be hazardous wastes. Provide disposal records for wastes <br /> determined to be hazardous wastes and stored longer than the number of days specified in Title 22 CCR for your <br /> hazardous waste generator status. <br /> This is a repeat violation, Class II. <br /> 301 CCR 66262.34(d)(2) Facility not maintained to minimize the release of a hazardous waste. <br /> OBSERVATION: The following were observed in the metal room: <br /> -One metal grinding machine observed with hydraulic oil accumulating at the base of the machine. <br /> REGULATION GUIDANCE:A hazardous waste generator must maintain and operate its facility to minimize the <br /> possibility of a fire, explosion, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous <br /> waste constituents to air, soil, or surface water which could threaten human health or the environment. <br /> CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately clean accumulating hydraulic oil. Manage the waste according to Title 22 <br /> California Code of Regulations for hazardous waste. Submit a statement and supporting documentation to the San <br /> Joaquin County Environmental Health Department describing the storage and final disposition of the cleaned up <br /> waste. <br /> This is a minor violation. <br /> FA0012392 PR0515945 SCO01 11/20/2019 <br /> EHD 22-01 Rev.9/20/2019 Page 4 of 7 Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator OIR <br /> 1868 E.
