MUD is the designated Control Authority of the Pretreatment Program for the Stockton area that includes Giannecchini Lane. MUD inspectors meet AMP Plating Shop Manager, William Ramerz (Willie) in the front office. MUD inspectors informed Willie that they were at AMP to conduct a inspection of the facility and would be taking a inventory of all waste both treated and untreated that currently existed on site. Willie said that this was "OK". Willie lead MUD inspectors out of the office and into the production area. Willie accompanied MUD inspector during the inspection visit. MUD inspector, Richard Stiffler, told Willie that he would be taking photographs of the waste stored on site as part of the inventory. Willie acknowledge this and gave no objection. West Building Wall Waste/Chemical Storage Area: An inspection of the AMP waste storage area was conducted to determine the type and volume of waste currently on site in this area. AMP has four blue colored tote containers and 8 black pallet type containers that contain pressed sludge from the pretreatment filter press located next to the west wall. There is a motor boat and trailer parked in front of the waste containers. The black pallets containers did not have any fixed lids but had a piece of plastic draped over the top of each container. The sludge is generally brown in color with no visible free liquid on the top of the sludge. There is an additional black pallet of filter pressed sludge sitting outside the western pretreatment area containment wall which bring the total number of pallet type containers to nine in this general area. AMP has two 55-gallon drums, without lids, of electroless nickel solution next to the 8 pallet containers of sludge along the western building wall. Willie told me (Alex Baillie) that the nickel solutions could be reused in the nickel bath.
