The following was noted at the time of inspection: 1) Standing liquid with some rainbow sheen was noted inside the secondary containment structure for the removed 10,000-gallon diesel tank. No tank was observed inside the secondary containment, according to the onsite documentation this tank was triple rinsed and removed from inside the secondary containment. 2) One 5-gallon container (3/4-full of standing liquid)was observed next to the bulk storage fertilizer tanks located on the northern portion of the property. The liquid inside this 5-gallon container had two separate liquid phases: one clear liquid phase toward the top of the container and one orange and less clear liquid phase toward the bottom of the container. 3) Five to six inches of dark liquid was noted inside one of the bulk fertilizer ("poly") tanks stored behind the fenced area in the northern portion of the site. Dark and oily liquid was observed inside the bottom valve port of the second fertilizer bulk storage tank which was labeled as"humas". The se bulk storage ('poly") fertilizer tanks ranged in size between 6,500 and 9,500 gallons and 6,500 gallons. 4) One bag house dust collector, utilized for"pot ash 0062- murriated pot ash (potassium chloride)"was observed next to the bulk storage fertilizer tanks. White powdery material was present inside the outflow pile of this bag house dust collector. Similar white powdery material was noted inside the auger blender(also used for"pot ash"); this auger blender was located next to the bulk storage tanks. Any person who generates a waste shall determine if the waste is a hazardous waste. Immediately make a hazardous waste determination for all above wastes, and manage them according the Title 22 hazardous waste regulations. Submit a statement and supporting documentation explaining how these wastes were managed. This is a Class II violation. 202 HSC 25189.5(a) Disposed or caused disposal of HW at an unauthorized point. White powdery staining was noted on bare soil north of the fertilizer tank located in the northwestern portion of the facility. Mr. Pallen stated that this staining is probably due to a fertilizer overspill since this type of fertilizer is salt like. According to Mr. Pallen this fertilizer overspill originated from the secondary containment during a water pipe rupture, which occurred 1-2 month ago. White staining was also noted inside the drainage ditch located north of the fertilizer tank. This impacted drainage ditch runs along the northern property boundary s from the approximate location of the fertilizer storage tank, toward the northwestern property boundary and beyond the property fence. Hazardous wastes shall be disposed of only by transportation to a permitted hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF). Immediately cease the disposal of hazardous waste to ground surface, address all residual wastes left behind inside the secondary containment, address all waste spillage and all impacted surface areas, and ensure that all wastes are hauled by a licensed hazardous waste transporter to a permitted TSDF, as appropriate. Submit proof of correction to the EHD. This is a Class I violation. Page 4 of 7
