I'm passing on a possible hazardous waste issue regarding Chevron in Contra Costa <br />County. Claudia Muro of my department and myself are working with Tony Feliciano of the company Calgon in our <br />County. Calgon treats waste water with granulated carbon at client sites and regenerates the carbon, when <br />possible. Sometimes the carbon is too contaminated to regenerate. <br />Tony passed on a case where Chevron in Richmond sent a load of spent carbon to Calgon in San Joaquin County and it <br />was high in vinyl chloride. The load was hauled back to Richmond for storage until disposal. I'm not sure if the vinyl <br />chloride exceeded the RCRA TCLP level of 0.2 mg/I since I don't have the test results. Details are in the email string. <br />I just wanted your CUPA to know that Chevron may be generating hazardous waste at the Castro Street address below. <br />Contact me with any questions, <br />Garrett Backus, Ld.
