Inspection Report Pilkington <br /> One stop along the line was made in the maintenance shop. In this shop there was a used oil <br /> container that was open at the time of inspection. One of the maintenance employees closed the <br /> container at this time. We continued down the line toward the furnace where temperatures can reach <br /> 1,600 degrees Celsius. <br /> We then headed over to where ongoing ground water monitoring is taking place, just west of a <br /> 5,000 gallon diesel tank. At the time of inspection, there were two (2) containers (photo 1) of <br /> hazardous waste from the monitoring well that did not have all of the required labeling elements <br /> (SOV). <br /> This concluded our walkthrough and we returned to Dr. Wang's office to review documents. <br /> VI.VIOLATIONS <br /> The Summary of Violations (SOV) issued to Pilkington on November 20, 2003 is found in the <br /> Appendix (Attachment A). <br /> Additional Violations not noted in SOV. <br /> 1. Class I violation: Pilkington has violated California Code of Regulations (Cal. Code of Regs.), <br /> title 22, section 66265.193 every day since January 24, 1998, in that Pilkington has operated <br /> an oil water separator on a continuous 24-hour per day basis, but failed to provide secondary <br /> containment for tanks comprising the oil water separator. Failure to provide secondary <br /> containment for a hazardous waste tank is a Class I violation because it increases the <br /> potential for an unplanned sudden or nonsudden uncontrolled release from a tank that could <br /> result in harm to human health or the environment. <br /> Required Action: Pilkington shall provide secondary containment for tanks and applicable <br /> ancillary equipment comprising the oil water separator pursuant to Cal. Code of Regs., tit. <br /> 22, § 66265.193 within 30 days of the date of this report. Pilkington shall prepare a tank <br /> system assessment that has been reviewed and certified by an independent, qualified, <br /> professional civil or mechanical engineer registered in California that attests to the tank <br /> system's integrity, and shows that the tank system has been provided with secondary <br /> containment pursuant to Cal. Code of Regs., tit. 22, § 66265.192. The assessment must <br /> contain all applicable written statements specified in section 66265.192. Pilkington shall <br /> submit a copy of the certified assessment to DTSC within 30 days of the date of this report <br /> via certified mail, return receipt requested. Pilkington shall also submit a written statement to <br /> DTSC describing, in specific detail, what was required to provide secondary containment <br /> (e.g., did concrete walls or slab have to be constructed, did already existing concrete need to <br /> have chemical-resistant coating applied, were any significant structural alterations <br /> required?). <br /> 2. Minor violation: On or about November 20, 2003 Pilkington violated Cal. Code of Regs., tit. <br /> 22, § 66.264.193(c) in that waste (dark material) was in the secondary containment system <br /> and not removed within 24 hour (photo 13). Cal. Code of Regs., tit. 22, § 66264.193(c) <br /> requires that Spilled or leaked waste and accumulated precipitation shall be removed from <br /> the secondary containment system within a timely manner as is necessary to prevent <br /> overflow of the containment system, but no more than 24 hours, or in as timely a manner as <br /> possible to prevent harm to human health and the environment. <br /> Required Action: Pilkington shall remove the waste as shown (photo 13) and keep the <br /> secondary containment area clear of such wastes. Pilkington shall provide a photo as <br /> evidence, that the waste has been removed from the secondary containment <br />
