Metal fines from the machine shop and sheet metal areas, identified in this <br /> year's inspection, as well as in the maintenance welding area identified in 2011, <br /> will be collected and disposed of in the 6 gal. solvent wipe containers which are <br /> emptied into the solvent contaminated debris drums on a daily basis. <br /> Hazardous waste management training addressing this specific issue was <br /> conducted by NES on August 28, 2013. <br /> #108 Failed to determine if a waste is a hazardous waste <br /> 1. An open 5 gallon red plastic bucket of unknown waste liquid was observed <br /> in the vapor degreaser room without any labeling. <br /> CORRECTIVE ACTION <br /> The liquid was determined to be a sample from our boiler water which is <br /> discharged to the sanitary sewer and periodically tested by Dubois Chemical. <br /> Dubois Chemical will be notified that whoever is testing our boiler water, shall <br /> not leave any unidentified and uncovered water unattended without proper <br /> labels. <br /> 2. In Building 3, items are being moved from one rinse/cleaning tank to <br /> another, while dripping in between tanks. Several of the tanks contain a <br /> phosphoric acid solution. The liquid is allowed to drip onto the floor under <br /> the tanks without additional clean up. The bottom of tank #7 (labeled <br /> phosphoric acid anodize 77 f 5°F), in the basement below the main room, <br /> was observed with several accumulation points of a white solid both on and <br /> next to the tank. <br /> CORRECTIVE ACTION <br /> At the time of the inspection, only tank #7 contained a phosphoric acid solution. <br /> The FPL (Forest Products Laboratory) process is a Boeing licensed process. <br /> We must spray rinse the solution from the parts with water from the time they <br /> are pulled out of the tank until they are placed into the rinse tanks to prevent the <br /> parts from drying out. The parts must also be looked at to ensure a water break <br /> free surface. We must also prevent too much rinsing over the phosphoric acid <br /> tank to prevent the dilution of the solution. The tank and white solid was <br /> cleaned up and the waste handled as a hazardous waste, based on generator <br /> knowledge. We are in the process of installing a new phosphoric acid tank by <br /> mid-November which should eliminate the accumulation of the solid on and <br /> next to the tank. <br />
