In the plant manager's office,William Snavely and I reviewed the Material Safety Data Sheets and the facility contingency plan(emergency procedures). Next,Mr. Lewis arranged for John Welch to escort Mr. Snavely and 1 around the plant. The tour included the machine shop, the main shop, the cook room, the process building, the lift truck shop, and the warehouse parts. There were five (S) Safety Kleen recycler stations noted, each with a 30 gallon drum container. After touring the shop buildings,Mr. Welch showed us two 400 gallon above ground tanks of bunker and waste oil. These two tanks were in a four foot high bermed area with a proper label identifying the stored hazardous materials. The bermed area was sloped to a corner and was provided with an isolation valve. IX. DISCUSSION WITH MANAGEMENT: Mr. Welch accompanied us back to the plant office. In front of the plant office, a cement gutter was being used to carry waste water from the plant to a waste water pond located on the facility. The waste water is used on fields for irrigation. I asked Mr. Welch if TVG-T had a waste water discharge permit from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB) and he stated he did not know. It was noon, so Mr. Snavely and I told Mr. Welch we would break for lunch. We informed him that we would return after lunch when Clayton Henke and Stan Lewis were available to complete the inspection. January 17, 1990 @ 1:15 p.m. Mr. Snavely and I returned to TVG-T and met with Clayton Henke, Production Manager, and Stan Lewis, Quality Control Manager. Mr. Henke and Mr. Lewis escorted Mr. Snavely and myself to the production office: where we reviewed the employee training records. The next area we visited was the laboratory where the tomato products are evaluated for quality specifications. The last stop was the plant office where Mr. Snavely and I reviewed the 1989 hazardous waste manifests and permits. Mr. Snavely and I inquired if the site had a CVRWQCB waste discharge permit. Mr. Lemke, Mr. Henke and Mr. Lewis all said they did not know if the site had a discharge permit and they would check into getting one. After completing the inspection, Mr. Snavely and I left the premise. December 20, 1990 Follow up to the January 17, 1990 inspection: I received a copy of the application for waste water discharge permit from Mr. Lemke. ( TVG - T had applied for a CVRWQCB discharge permit on October 31, 1990). 3
