At the time of inspection, it could not be demonstrated (not necessarily documented)that employees who handle hazardous waste were properly trained. Employees were unable to identify which waste streams were hazardous waste at their facility which resulted in either the illegal disposal of a hazardous waste or illegal treatment of a hazardous waste, ECH7080 and EC700. Victor informed me all paints used are water based and are not hazardous waste even though they waste from cleaning the gun with water is being disposed of as a hazardous waste. The generator must ensure that all employees who handle hazardous waste are thoroughly familiar with proper waste handling and emergency procedures. Immediately provide training to all employees who handle hazardous waste and submit a copy of the training records to the EHD. Class II violation. 202 NSC 25189.5(a) Disposed or caused disposal of HW at an unauthorized point. -Envirobase High Performance ECH7080, flashpoint 104 F and EC700, flashpoint 76 F with pourable amounts were found in the trash can in the mixing room. According to an employee onsite, the cans are allowed to air dry in the trash can. -Bondo waste analysis submitted to this office June 10, 2013 had selenium levels at 1.903mg/L and zinc levels at 581 mg/L. On September 11, 2013 an email was received by this office with an indication a new product was being sampled to potentially replace the bondo product, that according to the analysis submitted,was a hazardous waste when disposed of. Upon reviewing the file no further information had been received. At time of inspection on October 23, 2014 the bondo waste was in a hazardous waste drum. It is not clear which bondo product is being used and when it was first started to be handled as a hazardous waste. Hazardous wastes shall be disposed of only by transportation to a permitted hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF). Immediately cease disposal of hazardous waste to the trash and ensure that all future waste is hauled by a licensed hazardous waste transporter to a permitted TSDF. Class I violation. 204 HSC 25201(a) Failed to obtain a permit to treat hazardous waste. Envirobase High Performance ECH7080, flashpoint 104 F and EC700, flashpoint 76 F with pourable amounts were found in the trash can in the mixing room. According to an employee onsite, the cans are allowed to air dry in the trash can. This facility does not have a hazardous waste treatment permit issued from either the EHD or the DTSC. Immediately cease treatment of hazardous waste without a permit or obtain a treatment permit. Class I violation. 403 CCR 66262.34(d)(2) Failed to keep hazardous waste containers closed except when adding or removing hazardous waste. A 55g drum of water based waste paint was seen open. All hazardous waste containers shall be closed at all times except when adding or removing waste. Immediately close these containers and ensure all hazardous waste containers are closed when not adding or removing waste. Class II violation. 601 CCR 66262.34(d) Stored hazardous waste onsite greater than 180 days. 1-55g drum of water based paint waste had what appeared to be a start date of 9/2/2013, 1-55g drum of solvent paint waste had an illegible label, and a 55g drum of bondo dust did not have a start accumulation date.
