APPLIED AEROSPACE STRUCTURES L19AAS CORP. A metal coffee can of machine oil drippings was observed without a lid in the Machine Shop. We believe that the skimmer and the can which captures the skimmed oil is part of the process. We feel that there's more chance of the operator forgetting to remove the lid to the can and causing a spill upon startup,than to label the can and empty it daily. The contents of the can was emptied into a waste oil drum which was disposed of on July 26, 2011 on Manifest No. 000037722DAT, Line item I 1 (Fig. 2). A black plastic bag of graphite prepreg was observed unlabeled on top of a 55 gallon drum of graphite pre-preg being removed from the Fiberglass Layup room. The bag was compacted and placed in a drum. We believe that the bag was still in process because after compacting the drum the black plastic bag of graphite pre-preg fit inside and filled the drum. The drum was disposed of on July 26, 2011 on Manifest No. 000037722DAT, Line item 12 (Fig. 2). Labels will be provided to the area so employees can place them on the bags prior to compaction. Employees will receive hazardous waste training on August 17, 2011. A black plastic bag of graphite pre-preg was observed unlabeled in the Building S Layup room.

Two white 5 gallon buckets of primer waste and a container of chromium contaminated mop water were observed without labels in the Prime Line room. The two white 5 gallon buckets contained liners full of the water based primer waste that was generated on the day of the inspection. The waste was generated from the flushing and cleaning of the 5 gallon paint pots. Lines get clogged with the primer if not done on the day the primer was sprayed. The buckets are part of the flushing process. They could not empty it into the drum because it became full. The inspectors witnessed the full drum as it was being brought to the hazardous waste storage area. A replacement drum was brought into the area and the two 5 gallon buckets were poured into the new drum in the presence of the inspectors. The new drum will be hauled offsite within 90 days after it AASC Response to 7-11-11 Inspection Page 5
