INSPECTION REPORT <br /> RLUIVED <br /> June 24, 1992 at 1000 hours ff''II <br /> Inspectors Present: Pam Violet;County Health / Toni Duncflria OAK <br /> �K <br /> Location: Automotive Diesel Service, 833 South Comn�}tpR� pn, r ;; <br /> Company Owner: Mr. William Panogapolous PERIli (/5: ' <br /> A joint inspection of this facility was made in response to a <br /> complaint lodged with the County Health Department. The caller is <br /> either a current or former employee who has concerns about the <br /> company's manner of handling waste oil, glycol, etc. . <br /> The Automotive Diesel Service (ADS) building is typical for this <br /> type of business; large open-bay area, slab floor, no floor drains <br /> in the slab, one drain area for the sump which connects to a <br /> sand/oil trap prior to discharge to the sanitary sewer. The paved <br /> area outside ADS' bay door does not indicate any recent <br /> oil/gas/glycol spills. Inspection of the two parking lot storm <br /> drains indicates that a small quantity of oil has run off with <br /> washdown water into one of the drains. The quantity of oil <br /> (surcharged storm line) on the water is no greater than what can be <br /> found in any parking lot storm drain. Infiltration of automotive <br /> products into the Storm system does not appear to be a major <br /> concern at this location. <br /> It is relatively clean inside the facility. Small oil leaks are <br /> absorbed with kitty liter and put in the trash. The owner was <br /> informed that it is hazardous waste which must be drummed and <br /> shipped out. Several 55 gallon drums of various substances were <br /> found on site. only four of the drums were located within some type <br /> of secondary containment. All of the drums were either unlabeled or <br /> inadequately labeled. Mr Panogapolous was informed of the need to <br /> properly label all containers at his facility. It was also <br /> explained to him that hazardous waste must be removed from his <br /> facility after 90 days (maximum) storage. Mr. Panogapolous was <br /> unable to locate copies of his manifests. He said his wife <br /> routinely handles the waste and record keeping. He is to have those <br /> records available, at his facility, for a minimum of three years. <br /> It is expected that the manifests will be available for the follow- <br /> up inspection in one to two weeks. Better housekeeping practices <br /> are recommended for ADS and a follow-up visit from County Health <br /> and/or MUD to certify that Mr. Panogapolous has brought his waste <br /> storage situation up to Code. <br /> Toni L.
