`5AN 10AHWI Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator Inspection Report FacilityName: Facility Address: ty Date: Dollar General #14353 915 E Yosemite Ave, Manteca Julv 31. 2019 SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS (CLASS I, CLASS II, or MINOR - Notice to Comply) Item # Remarks 103 CCR 66262.40(c) Failed to retain hazardous waste determination including waste analysis on site for 3 years. When asked how employees determine which of the differently categorized hazardous waste (HW) totes a waste item belongs in, Tenisha Arbet, Store Manager, said each item is scanned using a hand-held scanner, which will sometimes state which HW tote the item belongs in. Tenisha indicated that when the scanner does not specify which HW tote an item belongs in, employees will read the item's label and ingredients, as well as the PSC HW guidance poster and documents (posted in the HW storage area), which provide product examples and key words for each of the HW categories, to determine which HW tote an item belongs in (see photos IMG 7815, 7819, 7830, 7862, 7875, 7901, 7923). When asked if a determination cannot be made based on the information on the item label and the guidance poster and documents, Tenisha stated she will contact her district manager. Steve Bohnak, District Manager, indicated he would call Eric Voyles, Director of Facilities Management, if needed, to ask for assistance on making the determination. Tenisha and Steve did not seem aware of Dollar General's Respond ticketing system to submit a notification to Dollar General (DG) Corporate regarding the scanning system not providing a HW category for a particular waste item. The waste items listed below were observed in the HW totes, but at the time of inspection it could not be determined how the HW determinations for each of these items were made. The hand-held scanner did not specify which HW tote the items should go in, and the PSC guidance poster and documents did not list these types of items: 1. A bag of Hickory Charcoal Briquets was found in a Toxic HW tote (IMG 7819-23). 2. A bag of six damaged Citrus Zest candles was found in a Oxidizer HW tote (IMG 7830-1, 7847-8). 3. DG Beauty Eye make-up Remover Pads were found in a Toxic HW tote and in an Oxidizer HW tote (IMG 7819-20, 7827-9, 7830-1, 7854-55). 4. An L.A. Colors Lash Adhesive was found in a Toxic HW tote (IMG 7819-20, 7836-7). Steve Bohnak, District Manager, stated that he believed many adhesives or glues were flammable. Tenisha pointed to a photo of an adhesive called Goop on the PSC guidance document for Flammable HW. 5. One brand of Super Glue was found in a Flammable HW tote, while another brand of Super Glue, along with a clear Gorilla Glue, were found in an Alkaline HW tote (IMG 7815-7818, 7862-3, 7888, 7891). 6. A bottle of Gain In -Wash Scent Booster and two bottles of Downy In -Wash Scent Beads were found in a Universal Waste tote (IMG 7909, 7920-1). 7. A 7 -Ib bag of Forever Pals Cat Litter was found in a Universal Waste tote (IMG 7909, 7922). A generator shall make a hazardous waste determination and keep a record of any test results, waste analyses, or other determinations made in accordance with hazardous waste regulations for at least three years from the date that the waste was last disposed of. Immediately locate a copy of the hazardous waste determination made for the hazardous waste items listed above, ensure store employees are familiar with these waste determinations, and submit a copy to the EHD. If a copy is unavailable, immediately make a hazardous waste determination and begin managing the above listed waste under Title 22 hazardous waste regulations. Submit a statement to the EHD documenting the hazardous waste determination for each of the above listed waste items. This is a Class II violation.
