The following i an itemized list of hazardous waste violations that have not been addresse for Global Materials Management, LLC as of April 17, 2017. Open violations from August 26, 2016 inspection Violation #501 - Failed to completely label stationary hazardous waste tanks. SE-25 Oil filter Kruncher s seen storing hazardous waste (used oil) in the secondary containment. It was described by Mr. Kandathil the secondary containment was drained every 10-15 minutes into oil drums stored nearby. He stated approxi ately 3-5 drums were generated per shift. During the inspection the crusher was not running, nor was any oil re oved from the secondary containment. The secondary containment overflows once every couple of days. All hazardous waste tanks hall be marked with the words "Hazardous Waste" and the accumulation start date. Immediately ensure that al hazardous waste tanks are marked with the required information. Violation #502 - Failed to comply with new hazardous waste tank system assessment requirements. Facility does not have a to k assessment for the used oil tank under the filter crusher(Kruncher). The owner or operator of a hazardous w ste tank shall obtain a written assessment reviewed and certified by an independent, qualified, professional engi eer, registered in California attesting that the system has sufficient structural integrity, is acceptable for the transfer ng, storing, and treating of hazardous waste, and that the tanks and containment system are suitably designed. Im ediately have an assessment prepared for the used oil tank under the crusher. Submit a schedule showing when thi will be accomplished to the EHD. Violation#507 - Failed to onduct daily inspections of hazardous waste tank system and maintain records onsite. Inspections of the hazardo s waste tank system was not performed and documented. The following items are required to be inspected at east daily: 1. overfill/spill control eq ipment; 2. aboveground portions of the tank system to detect corrosion or releases of water; 3. data gathered from m nitoring and leak-detection equipment; 4. outside areas of the t nk system including secondary containment to detect erosion or signs of releases of hazardous waste; 5. for uncovered tanks, t e level of waste in the tank. Immediately begin required inspections of the hazardous waste tank system, and document the items inspected. Submit a copy of the inspec ion log for the next 30 days to the EHD. Violation#509 - Failed to i mediately respond to spills and leaks from hazardous waste tank system. SE-25 Oil filter Kruncher wa seen storing hazardous waste (used oil) in the secondary containment. It was described by Mr. Kandathil e secondary containment was drained every 10-15 minutes into oil drums stored nearby. He stated approxi ately 3-5 drums were generated per shift. During the inspection the crusher was not running, nor was any oil re oved from the secondary containment. The secondary containment overflows once every couple of days. Appropriate controls and pr ctices shall be used to prevent spills and overflows from the tank or secondary containment systems. The include at a minimum: - spill prevention controls (e.g., check valves, dry discount couplings); -overfill prevention contr Is (e.g., level sensing devices, high level alarms, automatic feed cutoff, or bypass to a standby tank); and - maintenance of sufficie t freeboard in uncovered tanks to prevent overtopping by wave or wind action or by precipitation. Uncovered tan s shall be operated to ensure at least 60 centimeters(2 feet) of freeboard, unless the tank is equipped with a cont inment structure (e.g., dike or trench), a drainage control system or a diversion structure (e.g., standby tank with a capacity that equals or exceeds the volume of the top 60 centimeters(2 feet) of the tank. Immediately implement app priate controls and practices to prevent spills and overflows from the tank or secondary containment syst ms. Page 6 of 8
