SAN J O A Q I I I N Environmental Health Department L -0 U N-j- Y I�I AMENDED 10/28/2019 RCRA Large Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator Inspection Report Facility Name: Facility Address: Date: Dollar Tree Distribution Center-Stockton 1 1122 Runway Dr, Stockton October 14, 2019 SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS (CLASS I,CLASS II,or MINOR-Notice to Comply) Item# Remarks 102 CCR 66262.11 Failed to determine if a waste is a hazardous waste. OBSERVATION: 1. The oil water separator waste, near the Maintenance Area, is being hauled off by Stericycle as"non-hazardous liquid (water with trace oil and sludge)",without the facility first making a complete hazardous waste determination. The sample lab test results from September 16, 2014, are incomplete for the CAM 17 Metals test and did not appear to be a complete hazardous waste determination.According to Albert Melgoza, Maintenance Manager, and Richard Hearn, a Maintenance employee,the only waste put into the separator is the waste collected from the facility's floor scrubbers.According to Richard, the separator waste is pumped out twice a year. (see photos IMG 8990-3, 8883-4, 8892-3, 8895-9). 2.According to Albert and Richard,the waste generated from cleaning the forklift lead-acid batteries, in the Battery area wash rack,flows to a drain that leads to a neutralization tank,which is near the Maintenance area (IMG 8892, 8894-5, 8900-5).According to Robert Her, Battery Area employee, the battery wash rack is regularly used to wash batteries. It was unclear if a hazardous waste determination has been made for the battery waste in the neutralization tank in the Maintenance area.Additionally, it is unclear how often the neutralization tank is being pumped and how the waste is being disposed of. Disposal records for the neutralization tank waste were not provided at the time of inspection. 3.A Dewalt Bench Grinder and a Central Machinery Metal Cutting Bandsaw, each containing metal shavings/fines, were observed in the Maintenance Area.According to Albert,the bench grinder is no longer being used,while the bandsaw continues to be used.Albert did not know how the metal shavings/fines are managed or disposed of.The metal shavings/fines were not being collected in a storage container. (IMG 8885, 8887-91). REGULATION GUIDANCE: Any person who generates a waste shall determine if the waste is a hazardous waste as specified in Title 22 California Code of Regulations(CCR). There are wastes that are listed as hazardous wastes. There are wastes that exhibit one or more of the hazardous waste characteristics:toxic, corrosive, reactive or ignitable. Metal particles 100 microns or smaller in size must be handled and disposed of as hazardous waste if the metal is determined to be a hazardous waste. Metal particles larger than 100 microns in size can be recycled as scrap metal. CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately stop disposal of the oil water separator waste,the neutralization tank waste, and the metal shavings/fines as non-hazardous, make a complete hazardous waste determination for each waste, and manage it according to Title 22 CCR. Use Safety Data Sheets(SDS),waste sampling and test results or other knowledge to support your hazardous waste determinations. Waste testing must be done using methods specified in Title 22 CCR including sections 66261.20-24. Submit a statement and supporting documentation with your hazardous waste determination for each waste. Demonstrate current storage and labeling for wastes determined to be hazardous wastes. Provide disposal records for wastes determined to be hazardous wastes and stored longer than the number of days specified in Title 22 CCR for your hazardous waste generator status.
