Complaint Investigation RE t Tri -Valley Recycling I observed a shopping cart in the e -waste storage area, and Mr. Adams said that the cart contained computer hard drives. A cardboard Gaylord box was seen in the e - waste storage area that contained plastic panels that were separated from computers. The printed circuit boards were seen in boxes and on the floor. When I went to the backyard of the building, I observed a large steel container filled with metal residuals. The container had a label with the name "Alco Iron & Metal Co" with two phone numbers for the company; one phone number for the location at San Leandro and the other phone number for the location at Vallejo. Mr. Adams said that the container was filled with steel residuals from the computer dismantling operations. When the container was full, Alco Iron & Metal Co picked up the container and left an empty container in its place. Mr. Adams said Tri -Valley Recycling did not transport steel. The above observations substantiated the Complaint 1 in that the facility dismantled electronic devices and collected the steel residuals regularly in a large container. I said to Mr. Adams that DTSC got a complaint that the facility dismantled electronic waste without authorization. Mr. Adams said that the facility did not dismantle CRT devices. He further stated that he was not responsible for the notifications sent to DTSC. Later, I asked Ms. Craven to give me the DTSC notification, most recent annual report, district air permit and any other permits required by the facility. She said that she was not responsible for hazardous waste documents required by DTSC and she did not know where to look for the documents. Ms. Craven called the owner of the facility on the phone and then informed me that the documents will be available the next day. 11 of 20
