w i to Mr. Smith that it was up to him to resolve his problems with the City of Stockton. Mr. Smith stated that the City Manager had told everyone to expedite his request, but somehow the legal department had his application and was sitting on it. Mr. Ito stated that since the facility was not hooked up to the city sewage system (POTW) the waste stored on the site may be considered a RCRA or federally regulated waste. Mr. Ito related that because the facility did not have the hookup then it would not have the RCRA exemption. Mr. Ito also stated to Mr. Smith and Tupas that if the waste was considered RCRA, then over 5, 000 gallons of hazardous waste was in storage at the facility which would require a permit from CAL-EPA as a hazardous waste storage facility. Mr. Smith again stated that his waste problems would be over in three days if he could discharge. Mr. Smith stated, "You would not usually find the facility in such a condition at any other time" . Mr. Smith again indicated that because of his problems with the City, he was overrun with waste. Mr. Ito asked Mr. Smith if he knew where the property lines were. Mr. Smith stated that he was not sure if they were at the fence line or sidewalk. Mr. Smith was informed that the batch treatment system, as well as the hazardous waste storage area, may be less than the required distance from property lines, i.e. 50 ft. Mr. Smith was informed that the spent copper anodes found in the shed were not properly contained in a hazardous waste container. Mr. Smith was informed that the copper anode waste must be transported under manifest to a permitted recycler. Mr. Smith provided a copy of a receipt from the recycler and stated that the recycler put the anodes in a proper container to transport them. Mr. Smith was informed that he would receive a Report of Violation (ROV) from PHS-EHD in a few weeks outlining the violations found during this inspection. The inspection team members at that time left the site. 10
