<br /> Dollar Tree Distribution Center-Stockton 1 1122 Runway Dr, Stockton October 14, 2019
<br /> SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS
<br /> (CLASS I,CLASS II,or MINOR-Notice to Comply)
<br /> Item# Remarks
<br /> 103 CCR 66262.40(c) Failed to retain hazardous waste determination including waste analysis on site for 3 years.
<br /> OBSERVATION:
<br /> 1. The following waste was found in a container labeled Hazardous Waste Aerosols, Flammables and
<br /> Combustibles(AF)in the hazardous waste storage area (see photos IMG 8670-1):
<br /> -An aerosol can without a label and inside a bag marked AF (IMG 8675). It was unknown what chemical was
<br /> contained in the aerosol can and if the chemical is compatible with flammable hazardous waste.
<br /> -An aerosol can of The Home Store Non-Abrasive Bathroom Cleaner(UPC 639277928115), inside a bag
<br /> marked AF.When Rebecca Corona, Hazmat employee,scanned the bathroom cleaner to show which hazardous
<br /> waste container the cleaner belonged in,the hand-held scanner did not provide a hazardous waste category
<br /> determination (IMG 8676-8). It is unknown if the bathroom cleaner is compatible with flammable hazardous waste.
<br /> -An aerosol can of Foaming Glass Cleaner, labeled streak-free and ammonia-free(IMG 8679-80).According to
<br /> Sherry Aebersold, Environmental Health&Safety Compliance Manager, and Rebecca Corona, Hazmat employee,
<br /> the foaming glass cleaner was used by the facility employees,was not sold as a Dollar Tree product, and thus
<br /> when scanned did not have a hazardous waste category determination input into the hand-held scanning system
<br /> (IMG 8681). It is unknown if the bathroom cleaner is compatible with flammable hazardous waste.
<br /> -An aerosol can of Battery Cleaner(IMG 8682-3).According to Sherry and Rebecca,the battery cleaner was
<br /> used by the facility employees,was not sold as a Dollar Tree product,and thus when scanned did not have a
<br /> hazardous waste category determination input into the hand-held scanning system. It is unknown if the bathroom
<br /> cleaner is compatible with flammable hazardous waste.
<br /> 2. The oil water separator waste, near the Maintenance Area, is being hauled off by Stericycle as"non-hazardous
<br /> liquid (water with trace oil and sludge)",without the facility first making a complete hazardous waste determination.
<br /> The sample lab test results from September 16, 2014, are incomplete for the CAM 17 Metals test and did not
<br /> appear to be a complete hazardous waste determination.According to Albert Melgoza, Maintenance Manager, and
<br /> Richard Hearn, a Maintenance employee,the only waste put into the separator is the waste collected from the
<br /> facility's floor scrubbers.According to Richard, the separator waste is pumped out twice a year. (see photos IMG
<br /> 8990-3, 8883-4, 8892-3, 8895-9).
<br /> 3.According to Albert and Richard,the waste generated from cleaning the forklift lead-acid batteries, in the Battery
<br /> area wash rack,flows to a drain that leads to a neutralization tank,which is near the Maintenance area (IMG 8892,
<br /> 8894-5, 8900-5).According to Robert Her, Battery Area employee, the battery wash rack is regularly used to wash
<br /> batteries. It was unclear if a hazardous waste determination has been made for the battery waste in the
<br /> neutralization tank in the Maintenance area.Additionally, it is unclear how often the neutralization tank is being
<br /> pumped and how the waste is being disposed of. Disposal records for the neutralization tank waste were not
<br /> provided at the time of inspection.
<br /> 4.A Dewalt Bench Grinder and a Central Machinery Metal Cutting Bandsaw, each containing metal shavings/fines,
<br /> were observed in the Maintenance Area.According to Albert,the bench grinder is no longer being used,while the
<br /> bandsaw continues to be used.Albert did not know how the metal shavings/fines are managed or disposed of.The
<br /> metal shavings/fines were not being collected in a storage container. (IMG 8885, 8887-91).
<br /> 5. Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest(UHMW)012496412FLE(4/1/2019)had the waste description"UN3139,
<br /> Waste Oxidizing liquid, n.o.s. (Hydrogen Peroxide, Phosphoric Acid), 5.1, PG II, ERG#140)", in item 9b line 1,
<br /> crossed out(IMG 9001). The number and type of containers,total quantity, unit weight/volume, and waste codes
