CONFIDENTIAL BIC Head Quarters-4900 E Dublin Granville Rd Columbus, OH 43081 LOTS Region 6-19331 Soledad Canyon Road Canyon Country, CA 91351 of the UL WERCSmart iPod application and Big Lots Haz Waste Program to make all hazardous waste determinations. All new store employees will continue to be trained within 30 days of hire and recertified on an annual basis. District and Regional leadership will continue to regularly audit these training records to verify completion. Observation:#109 CCR 66262.23(a)(4)Failed to send generator manifest copies to DTSC within 30 days. In response to the above discrepancy, copies of manifests 002301853PSC (4/29/19), 002107642PSC (2/4/19), 002107641PSC (2/4/19), 002005767PSC (11/12/18), 001986545PSC (10/1/18), 001968846PSC (9/17/18), 001938562PSC (8/20/18), 00191841OPSC (7/23/18) have been mailed to the DTSC. Observation:#110 CCR 66262.40(a)Failed to keep signed copy of manifests from the designated facility for three years. AND Observation:#111 CCR 66262.42(a)(c)(d)Failed to comply with uniform hazardous waste manifest exception requirements. Contrary to the inspection report, signed copies of all manifests were retained at Big Lots corporate headquarters and were readily available for production and inspection. As the regulations do not specify where the manifests must be kept, Big Lots Hazardous Waste Management Program (in consultation with outside counsel and the relevant California District Attorneys) utilizes centralized data management at its corporate headquarters for efficient and reliable storage of the manifests. As such, copies of manifests referenced as missing in the inspection report on 6.25.2019 were available at the time of the inspection. In response to the inspection report, copies of 3 years' worth of manifests were mailed to the DTSC Report Repository on 8.9.2019 and are attached with this letter (see attached copies of manifests referenced in inspection report). Observation:#405 CCR 66262.34(d)(2)Failed to manage incompatible wastes in containers properly. As noted in the inspection report, the container in question included damaged consumer products, generated from the most recent truck unload that occurred approximately 24 hours prior to the inspection. Upon identification that some of the items may have been of a chemical nature, all items were immediately separated to limit contamination of saleable products. Big Lots' Hazardous Waste Program instructs MODs to immediately contain the potential hazard, identify the nature of the hazard, determine the type of hazard, then ultimately process the hazard. In response to the above observation, store leadership immediately processed the hazardous waste in its corresponding totes based on the hazard determinations from the UL WERCSmart application and Big Lots Haz Waste
