Environmental Health Department Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator Inspection Report Date: May 10, 2019 Facility Address: 450 S Cherokee Ln, Lodi Facility Name: Dollar Tree #06120 SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS (CLASS I, CLASS II, or MINOR - Notice to Comply) RemarksItem # 106 CCR 66262.34(d)(2) Failed to train employees on waste handling and emergency procedures. Based on the types of violations observed, the facility employees are not trained on proper hazardous waste (HW) handling or the training provided has been inadequate. Several empty and partially empty chemical containers were found in the HW storage totes. When asked what happened to the missing liquid from these empty containers, Andres said that the containers could have become empty from either being “store-use” items to clean the facility, spilling in the store, or spilling in the shipment truck during delivery to the facility. When Andres was asked about the empty containers listed below individually, he stated he did not know what specifically happened to the missing liquid from each container, unless the container was marked with an orange sticker on the item’s barcode, indicating the item was a “store-use” item. At the time of inspection, a partially empty container of Spic and Span Antibacterial Cleaner was observed on the facility’s cardboard bailer and marked with an orange “store-use” sticker on the item’s barcode (IMG 6093-4). The following observations were made at the time of inspection: - An Aerosols, Flammables, & Combustibles (AF) HW tote was found lacking the physical state on the HW label (IMG 6066). Andres marked the physical state on the AF HW tote at the time of inspection. - An open 6 fl. oz. container of hydrogen peroxide was found in a Dollar Tree basket labeled “Damages” at the front of the facility. When Andres scanned the item’s barcode, the hand held scanner indicated the item should be placed in an State-Regulated, Toxics, Electronics, OTC Pharmaceuticals, Universal Waste (STOU) HW tote. However, according to the Dollar Tree Potentially Hazardous Materials Management poster, posted on a wall next to the HW storage area, items containing hydrogen peroxide are classified as Oxidizers (OX). Andres bagged the item with absorbent and placed the hydrogen peroxide into an OX HW tote. (IMG 6062, 6065, 6070-2, 6128-9). - A Corrosive Bases (CB) HW tote was found containing three empty 20 fl. oz. containers of LA’s Totally Awesome All Purpose Concentrated Cleaner & Degreaser Spot Remover, free liquid from the containers, and saturated absorbent, bagged and labeled as CB HW. The amount of liquid and absorbent in the bag did not account for the amount of liquid that was missing from the containers. None of the containers were marked with an orange “store-use” sticker. (IMG 6073-5). - The CB tote containing the three empty containers of LA’s Totally Awesome All Purpose Concentrated Cleaner & Degreaser Spot Remover, was found broken on one side of the tote. Andres transferred the HW bag containing the cleaner into, and the CB HW label onto, an unbroken tote. (IMG 6076) - The following items were found in a STOU HW tote with accumulation start date 4/26/19 (IMG 6077-84, 6091-2): o A broken nail polish container labeled AF HW. The hand-held scanner stated the nail polish should be placed in an AF HW tote. Andres placed the nail polish into an AF HW tote. o An open, partially filled, container of green slime labeled HW. o An empty container of Sure Scents Pumpkin Air Freshener Crystal Beads, labeled STOU HW, and not marked with an orange “store-use” sticker. o Three partially empty containers of dried paint labeled HW. - The following items were found in a STOU HW tote with accumulation start date 5/8/19 (IMG 6085-90): o An open leaking container of Cinnamon Spice Fragrance Diffuser, labeled STOU HW, and not marked with an Page 7 of 13 FA0023050 PR0540455 SC001 05/10/2019 EHD 22-01 Rev. 09/27/2018 Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator OIR 1868 E.
