Called David Hannen and left voice mail for him to call me back. Mr. Harmen returned my call. He informed me that he had the result. Asked to fax me a copy. MK 3/4/97 Received message from Mr. Harmen regarding problem with faxing materials. Received fax copy of analytical data. The pump sample is ND. The storm drain sample has 150 WL of Chrysotfle Asbestos. Per Title 22 66261.24, the STLC is 1.0% Per DW consultation, lab is to be consulted. Called lab and spoke with Mark Bailey, Company President, regarding the result. Per Mr. Bailey, it is impossible to maintain it in suspension to analyze for mg/L. The only other way is to redo analysis to include counting fibers and measuring width and length of fibers. Per Mr. Bailey, the EPA Drinking water std is 7 MFL. MK 4/24/97 Called and left message for Mr. Bailey of Asbestos TEM to call me regarding the conversion from MFL to percentage as reported in Title 22. MK 11/5/97 Conducted routine inspection. Will return to facility tomorrow for record reviewing. MK 11/6/97 Concluded the RI. There were several violations, most of which were repeated violations. Per records and discussion with the safety manger and plant manager, I discovered that no one on the plant ever had formal hazardous waste training or was fit -tested for APR. The manager, Mr Dufall, claimed that his men could learn from reading, the formal training or HAZWOPR was not a legal requirement. He was in business for 20 years. He also disagreed with the cradle to grave law when I explained it to him. He claimed that the manufacturer of the chemicals should be partly responsible. Mr. Moreno, Human Resource Manager and Safely Manager, conducted all the training, mostly safety training, he never had any formal training himself, he did not know what APR was. I explained to Mr. Dufall and Mr. Moreno that their staff did not know about hazardous waste management and handling. The problem that they had last year still existed. They claimed that I did not give then time to work on it, they disagreed with me on that. I also advised them to obtain the result of the lab report in % not MFL. Mr. Dufall asked me what % I was looking for. I told him more than 1%, he informed me that "don't worry, we're going to be a lot less than that." Mr. Dufall and Mr. Moreno disagree with the law and regulation I explained to them. They also did not know what a hazardous waste label looks like. I showed it to them in their catalog. They also asked me a lot of questions on how to handle and manage their waste, I answered most of them, then I advised them to take HAZWOPR training, I would not teach them all that. Apparently they did not know the hazardous waste laws and regulations, although they claimed they did; and they did not want to attend any formal training. They claimed they could learn through reading. Advised them to characterize the waste water. Also see OIR. Spoke with Alex Bailey of COSMUD regarding the hazardous waste storage area, the hazardous management and disposal of waste in storm drain and sewer lines.
