0 <br />8. LIKA reclaims silver from their photographic process. In 1993, .008 tons <br />of this waste was reclaimed by Drew Resources Corporation, 1717 Fourth <br />St., Berkeley, CA 94710. <br />9. A solvent station is maintained to clean mechanical parts from machinery <br />used in the manufacturing process. In 1993, .12 tons of this waste was <br />manifested offsite by Safety Kleen, 5050 Salida Blvd., Salida CA 95368. <br />VII. VIOLATIONS: <br />1. Bag house waste was stored in containers without labels. <br />2. Contaminated debris was stored in a rolloff bin that was not covered. <br />VIII. OBSERVATIONS: <br />I arrived at LIKA at approximately 1:20 p.m. on June 21, 1994. Upon arrival, <br />checked in at the front desk and requested to meet with James Neal. After <br />explaining the purpose of the inspection, Mr. Neal gave consent to inspect the <br />facility. Mr. Neal began the inspection in the raw materials storage area. <br />Mr. Neal then led me to the production floor where the circuit boards are <br />primarily etched and plated with various types of metals. <br />In the multilayer room, circuit boards are affixed together in a successive <br />formation up to eight layers. Oil contaminated absorbent is generated in this <br />area from cleaning up incidental leaks from the machinery. Mr. Neal explained <br />the absorbent is picked up from the floor and is taken directly to a storage <br />container located outside. <br />In the drilling room, holes are drilled into the circuit boards. The drill tailings <br />generated from the drilling is collected in a vacuum that eventually empties into <br />a bag outside the building on the east side. This "baghouse" waste is managed as <br />a hazardous waste. <br />Mr. Neal then led me to the screening room. In this area, waste oil generated <br />from the air compressors is stored in a five gallon container. <br />Adjacent to the chemical storage area was a large rolloff bin that contained <br />contaminated copper debris. This bin did not have a tight fitting lid. <br />On the east side of the building, the drill tailings are collected into two large <br />hoppers that eventually empty into a metal container. The container is lined <br />with plastic and according to Mr. Neal, is changed every shift and taken directly <br />out to the rolloff bin for storage. The two metal containers did not have labels <br />
