<br />CCR 66262.34(d)(2) Failed to train employees on waste handling and emergency procedures.
<br />Based on the types of violations observed, the facility employees are not trained on proper hazardous waste (HW)
<br />handling or the training provided has been inadequate.
<br />1. When asked how employees determine which of the differently categorized HW totes a waste item belongs in,
<br />Tenisha Arbet, Store Manager, said each item is scanned using a hand-held scanner, which will sometimes state
<br />which HW tote the item belongs in. Tenisha indicated that when the scanner does not specify which HW tote an item
<br />belongs in, employees will read the item's label and ingredients, as well as the PSC HW guidance poster and
<br />documents, which provide product examples and key words for each of the HW categories, to determine which HW
<br />tote an item belongs in. When asked if a determination cannot be made based on the information on the item label
<br />and the guidance poster and documents, Tenisha stated she will contact her district manager. Steve Bohnak, District
<br />Manager, indicated he would call Eric Voyles, Dollar General Director of Facilities Management, if needed, to ask for
<br />assistance on making the determination. Tenisha and Steve did not seem aware of Dollar General's Respond ticketing
<br />system to submit a notification to DG Corporate regarding the scanning system not providing a HW category for a
<br />particular waste item.
<br />2. A HW tote containing flammable HW and labeled Flammable, was also labeled as containing Oxidizer HW. Tenisha
<br />Arbet, Store Manager, replaced the Oxidizer label with a Flammable label at the time of inspection. (IMG 7815-7)

<br />According to the DG Environmental Compliance Program Training, and a PSC HW guidance poster and documents,

<br />According to the Toxic HW tote label, over-the-counter Health & Beauty (including cosmetics), medicine, and light
<br />bulbs are to be placed in a Toxic HW tote. Steve Bohnak, District Manager, stated that he believed many adhesives or
