Environmental Health Department Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator Inspection Report Date: April 25, 2019 Facility Address: 2318 S AIRPORT WAY, STOCKTON Facility Name: FAMILY DOLLAR #31867 SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS (CLASS I, CLASS II, or MINOR - Notice to Comply) RemarksItem # 601 CCR 66262.34(d) Stored hazardous waste onsite greater than 180 days. - A ST HW tote was found with accumulation start date 9/10/18, which is past the 180 day storage limit, and contained the following bagged items (IMG 5554): - Three empty containers of motor oil, which were indicated by the hand-held scanner to be placed into a TX HW tote (IMG 5555-6). However, the ST HW tote pre-printed label had "Motor Oil" marked as the contents. When asked how employees determine which HW tote an item should be placed into, Monica stated employees follow what is indicated on the scanner, but she suspected whoever placed the motor oil containers into the ST HW tote followed the tote label, rather than following the scanner. Monica stated the empty motor oil containers were left by customers who buy and use the motor oil, but leave the containers in the facility's parking lot. - A container of LA's Totally Awesome All Purpose Cleaner Degreaser Spot Remover was found leaking into the bottom of the ST HW tote (IMG 5557, 5561-2). - A bottle of Tylenol Extra Strength tablets, which the hand-held scanner indicated should be placed in the ST HW tote, although according to the Family Dollar StrongPak poster posted adjacent the HW storage area, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines are to be placed in a TX OTC HW tote (IMG 5563-4, 5543, 5582). - An almost empty container of Magic Power Cleaner with Bleach was found labeled "ST," and which the hand-held scanner indicated should be placed in the ST HW tote, although according to the Family Dollar StrongPak Poster, items containing bleach are classified as OX (IMG 5567-70). - A CB HW tote was found with accumulation start date 9/10/18, which is past the 180 day storage limit, and contained a leaky bottle of Purple Power Cleaner/ Degreaser labeled "CB" (IMG 5571-2). - An OX HW tote was found with accumulation start date 9/10/18, which is past the 180 day storage limit, and contained the following bagged items (IMG 5574-6): - A partially filled leaky bottle of hydrogen peroxide labeled "OX." - A leaky container of Ajax with bleach cleaning powder. - An AF HW tote was found with accumulation start date 9/10/18, which is past the 180 day storage limit, and contained the following bagged items (IMG 5577-81): - A black trash bag which had a container partially filled with gasoline. According to Monica, the container was returned by a customer because the container began to leak once she put gasoline in the container. The container was triple bagged. - A half filled leaky container of Febreze Fabric Refresher spray with free-flowing liquid in the single bag without absorbent. According to the Family Dollar Hazardous Waste Training Guide, absorbant should be applied to a bag containing free liquids and the leaky item should be double-bagged. - Three bagged aerosol cans, each labeled "UW." - A TX OTC HW tote was found with accumulation start date 9/10/18, which is past the 180 day storage limit, and contained the following bagged items (IMG 5582-4, 5611-2) - Several packs of Glow In The Dark glow sticks. - Four Slim Fast Original meal replacement shakes, labeled "TX" and with Nutrition Facts. According to Monica, Julia Giddens, Environmental Specialist for Dollar Tree and Family Dollar, indicated Slim Fast Original meal replacement shakes should go into the TX OTC HW tote. Facilities who generate less than 1000 kg of hazardous waste per month and do not exceed 6000 kg of waste stored on site at any time may store waste on site up to 180 days.
