to have a HMMP with SJC OES. I asked Mr. Kahler if it would be okay to go back over to the maintenance area and take pictures. He said that that was fine. 11:45AM—Left the scene. 12:30PM—Called the County Agriculture Commissioner's office to make a referral. 2:30PM — Tom Reed from the County Agriculture Commissioner's office called to confirm details of the referral and to tell me that they would follow up on it. April 7. 200 8:30AM — Called and left a message for Jim Allan with the SJC Agriculture Commissioner's office. April 11, 2000 Determined I had the wrong phone number for Jim Allan. I received the correct phone number and called him. He stated that he had not had a chance to verify the allegations with Mr. Kahler because they had not found a time to meet. He stated that they would be issuing the SJ River Club a Notice of Violation for the use of an unregistered pesticide (diesel fuel). He said that they would not be able to issue any worker safety violations, because the people who had applied it were volunteers. He said that he would send a copy of his report to me when it has been completed. Talked with Kasey Foley. She said to follow up with the SJ River Club to see if they intended to clean it up appropriately. April 12, 2000 Called Mr. Larry Kahler at the San Joaquin River Club and asked him what the status of the cleanup was. He stated that they had put the waste from the sprayer in containers and were going to take them to the household hazardous waste event in Tracy this month. I told him that he would also have to clean up any contaminated vegetation and soil,and that the cleanup would have to be done by individuals who have 40-hour HAZWOPER training. I asked him if he still had the list of hazardous waste haulers, and he said yes (it is at the office). I told him that he will need to contact one of those companies and arrange for cleanup. I told him that once cleanup is complete he could request permission to take that waste to a Household Hazardous Waste Collection event as well, or he could have the company haul it to an appropriate facility. He said that he was working with someone else about that. I confirmed that he was talking about Jim Allan. I told him that our agency is requiring cleanup, even if the Ag Commissioner does not. I told him that disposing of diesel to the ground is a Class I Violation. He said that the amount of diesel may not be detectable, because it was a small amount. I told him that any area that had been sprayed with the diesel would need to be cleaned up. The amount of diesel in the waste will only determine where the waste can be disposed of. He said that he would not be able to make a decision until the Board Meeting on Saturday (April 15, 2000). I told Mr. Kahler that I would need to come back out to the facility to conduct a routine hazardous waste inspection. He said that they did not want a hazardous waste permit. I told him that he would have to carry a permit until he ceased all hazardous waste operations at his maintenance facility. He said that they do not generate hazardous waste. I reminded Mr. Kahler that I had seen drums of used oil at the facility and that used oil is a hazardous waste. Mr. Kahler said that a lot of the waste in the yard has been there a long time. He said that I had told him that it depends on the amount of waste they have, and I told Mr. Kahler that I had never said that. He said that I should wait until next week to do the inspection, until he has a
