SAN J O A g U I N Environmental Health Department <br /> ki '\J I y AMENDED <br /> 4/22/2020 <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 /> 202 HSC 25189.5(a)Disposed or caused disposal of HW at an unauthorized point. <br /> OBSERVATION: <br /> 1. Charell Gaines, an employee,was observed sorting through product and damaged product at Pick Module 1 <br /> Zone A-B (see photos IMG 8936-7, 8940-1). When asked what he would do with a 9 fl oz bottle of hand soap that <br /> was found damaged and leaking versus another undamaged bottle of the same hand soap, Charell stated he <br /> would throw the leaky damaged product in the trash and place the undamaged hand soap into a box for <br /> repackaging (IMG 8933-4). Charell proceeded to throw the leaky damaged bottle of hand soap into the blue <br /> dumpster next to his work area(IMG 8938-9). <br /> 2. 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 appeared to have dumped the trash from a blue dumpster into the trash compactor without sorting <br /> through the trash before disposal. It was unclear when the sorting process had stopped.The leaky damaged bottle <br /> of hand soap that was previously thrown into the dumpster by Charell Gaines was found in the trash that had just <br /> been dumped into the compactor(IMG 8964-6). Two broken leaky 8 oz containers of Softee Extra Hold Protein <br /> Styling Gel were also found in the dumped trash in the compactor(IMG 8964, 8967-9). <br /> REGULATION GUIDANCE: The disposal of any hazardous waste, or the causing thereof, is prohibited when the <br /> disposal is at a facility which does not have a permit from the department issued pursuant to this chapter,or at any <br /> point which is not authorized according to this chapter. Hazardous wastes shall be disposed of only by <br /> transportation to a permitted hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility(TSDF)or other authorized <br /> point. <br /> CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately cease disposal of hazardous waste into the facility dumpsters and trash <br /> compactor. Provide a corrective action statement to the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department <br /> within 30 days. <br /> This is a Class I violation. <br /> FA0013602 PR0539024 SCO01 10/14/2019 <br /> EHD 22-03 Rev.9/20/2019 Page 19 of 44 RCRA Large Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator OIR <br /> 1868 E.
