<br /> RCRA Large Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator Inspection Report
<br /> Facility Name: Facility Address: Date:
<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 /> 8917-9).There was no longer a cloth at the bottom of the tote, and it was unclear how the cloth observed on
<br /> 10/14/2019 had been managed.
<br /> 3. Charell Gaines, an employee,was observed sorting through product and damaged product at Pick Module 1
<br /> Zone A-B (IMG 8936-7, 8940-1).When asked what he would do with a 9 fl oz bottle of hand soap that was found
<br /> damaged and leaking versus another undamaged bottle of the same hand soap, Charell stated he would throw the
<br /> leaky damaged product in the trash and place the undamaged hand soap into a box for repackaging (IMG 8933-4).
<br /> Charell proceeded to throw the leaky damaged bottle of hand soap into the blue dumpster next to his work area
<br /> (IMG 8938-9).
<br /> 4. The trash compactor was not locked and no one was actively placing trash into the compactor at the time of
<br /> inspection of the compactor. Rebecca Corona, Hazmat employee,was asked by Sherry Aebersold, Environmental
<br /> Health&Safety Compliance Manager, and Gustavo Garcia, Operations Manager,to demonstrate how trash is
<br /> sorted before disposal into the compactor to ensure hazardous waste is not being disposed into the compactor.
<br /> Rebecca dumped the trash from a blue dumpster into the trash compactor without sorting through the trash before
<br /> disposal.When Sherry asked Rebecca when the sorting process had stopped, it was unclear by Rebecca's
<br /> response when the sorting process had stopped.The leaky damaged bottle of hand soap that was previously
<br /> thrown into the dumpster by Charell Gaines was found in the trash that had just been dumped into the compactor
<br /> (IMG 8964-6).Two broken leaky 8 oz containers of Softee Extra Hold Protein Styling Gel were also found in the
<br /> dumped trash in the compactor(IMG 8964, 8967-9).
<br /> 5. The fallen,damaged, and/or leaking chemicals listed below were observed throughout the facility, on the floor,
<br /> floor pallets, Pick Module(MOD)floor grates and concrete floor,facility equipment,or on product boxes in the
<br /> MODS,without any facility personnel actively working to clean up and/or identify if these chemicals were hazardous
<br /> waste.According to the Dollar Tree California (CA)Store Quick Reference Guide, damaged and leaking chemical
<br /> items are to be identified as either waste, hazardous waste, or sellable product, and hazardous waste is to be
<br /> managed/processed properly. It was unclear how often the facility cleans up and identifies fallen,damaged, and
<br /> leaking chemicals throughout the facility. It was unknown how long ago the following containers of chemicals fell,
<br /> became damaged, and/or began leaking:
<br /> 1) Found on a floor pallet,an open unlabeled container of eleven bottles of orange dish soap, at least four of
<br /> which were contaminated with a white substance,two which were open and partially empty, and at least one with a
<br /> broken cap (IMG 8691-3).Two bottles of White Rain Body Wash, and a can of Rockstar Energy Drink were also
<br /> found in the open container.
<br /> 2) Found on a floor pallet,an open unlabeled container of at least 7 bottles of green Fresh Apple Dish Soap, at
<br /> least one of which was leaking (IMG 8694-6).
<br /> 3) Found on a forklift, at least 25 damaged boxes,each containing an LED light bulb (IMG 8697-700).
<br /> 4) Found on the floor,a spilled 14 fl oz bottle of Ultra Ajax liquid dish soap(IMG 8701-2).
<br /> 5) Found on the floor and floor pallets in the Aerosol/Flammables Room, at least six unlabeled cardboard boxes
<br /> completely or partially contaminated with motor oil due to leaking bottles of Driver's Choice SAE 1 OW-30 Motor Oil.
<br /> A pallet and cardboard on the pallet,was also contaminated with what appeared to be motor oil. (IMG 8703-5)
<br /> 6) Found on a MOD floor grate beneath pallets, a partially empty bottle of Palmolive liquid dish soap(IMG
<br /> 8709-10).
<br /> 7) Found on a MOD floor grate and in damaged cardboard boxes on a pallet, at least 26 bottles of pink Fresh
<br /> Berries Assured Moisturizing Hand Soap, some of which leaked through the floor grate onto product boxes and the
