The following is an itemized list of hazardous waste violations that have not been addressed for TEC Equipment as of August 24, 2022. Open violations from May 01, 2020 inspection (1)constructed of or lined with materials that are compatible with the waste(s)to be placed in the tank system and shall have sufficient strength and thickness to prevent failure due to pressure gradients(including static head and external hydrological forces), physical contact with the waste to which they are exposed, climatic conditions,the stress of installation, and the stress of daily operation (including stresses from nearby vehicular traffic); (2)placed on a foundation or base capable of providing support to the secondary containment system and resistance to pressure gradients above and below the system and capable of preventing failure due to settlement, compression, or uplift; (3)provided with a leak detection system that is designed and operated so that it will detect the failure of either the primary and secondary containment structure or any release of hazardous waste or accumulated liquid in the secondary containment system within 24 hours, or at the earliest practicable time if the existing detection technology or site conditions will not allow detection of a release within 24 hours; (4)sloped or otherwise designed or operated to drain and remove liquids resulting from leaks, spills, or precipitation. Spilled or leaked waste and accumulated precipitation shall be removed from the secondary containment system within 24 hours, or in as timely a manner as is possible to prevent harm to human health or the environment, if removal of the released waste or accumulated precipitation cannot be accomplished within 24 hours. (A) If the collected material is a hazardous waste under chapter 11 of this division, it shall be managed as a hazardous waste in accordance with all applicable requirements of chapters 2 through 15 of this division. (B) If the collected material is discharged through a point source to waters of the United States,the owner or operator shall comply with the requirements of sections 301, 304, and 402 of the Federal Clean Water Act(33 U.S.C. sections 1311, 1314 and 1342, respectively), as amended.

CORRECTIVE ACTION: Have a qualified Professional Engineer prepare a tank assessment for each tank. Provide a corrective action statement and supporting documentation to the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department(EHD)within 30 days. Provide a copy of all tank assessments,when available. ❑ This violation was corrected ❑This violation will be corrected by(date): ❑ Supporting documents included Describe actions taken or will be taken to correct violation: Page 4 of 4
