J <br /> LOF Glass <br /> Lib -Owens-Font Company <br /> August 10, 1983 <br /> Mr. Robert Jon <br /> Regional Quali Control Board <br /> 1 <br /> Central Valley egion <br /> r <br /> 3201 S Street <br /> Sacramento, C 94816 <br /> Subject: Waste Disposal Procedures <br /> Dear Mr. Jones: <br /> Our facility in Lathrop (San Joaquin County) generates waste oil from <br /> diesel, hydraulic, and lubricating systems. This oil does not contain <br /> toxic (heavy) metals, polychlorinated byphenyls, or halogenated hydro- <br /> carbons. Due to a severe dust problem on our facility's roadways, we <br /> would like to apply this waste oil to certain roads within our plant boun- <br /> daries. As a first step, we will mix oil with gravel and place it on the <br /> road beds; as needed thereafter, we will rent an agricultural spreader to <br /> place oil on the roads. Approximately one gallon of oil will cover 20 sq. <br /> yds. under this method of application. <br /> Although this is a typical application for waste oil, we thought it advis- <br /> able to inform you of our intentions. If your office has objections to <br /> this plan, please inform us by August 22. <br /> Also, regarding our letter of May 6, 1983 to you regarding solid waste <br /> disposal at the Lathrop site, we would appreciate an expeditious decision <br /> on our landfill classification. We understand that some doubt has arisen <br /> on the percentage of wood to be discarded at this site. To clarify this <br /> point, we are in the process of segregating materials that are presently in <br /> the disposal area. Wood, plastic, and metal will be removed to the county <br /> landfill or sold as scrap. Only inorganic materials such as glass batch <br /> or cullet (broken glass) will remain for disposal at the plant. <br /> To prevent a recurrence of this disposal problem, the plant has estab- <br /> lished a policy in which wood and metal will not be discarded at the <br /> plant in the future; these materials are being segregated. We reiterate <br /> our believe, therefore, that the disposal of wood, metal, and plastic will <br /> be less than 10% of the total weight percentage delegated to the site. <br /> The preponderance of waste at the site will be inorganic glass batch <br /> materials and cullet. <br /> 1701 East Broadway Toledo, Ohio 43605 Telephone 419 247-3731 TWX 810-442-1739 Telex 28-6437 <br />
