Lined Lab Pack cardboard boxes (Clean Earth System Inc. , Lab -Pak 55, UN Rated 4G/X158.8/s/ 16/USA+AA6576) were observed at the site storing various hazardous wastes. According to Elisa Moberly, these lab back boxes are being used to store and transport "pesticides, herbicides, and non-RCRA wastes with a Ph between 4-10 that test negative for oxidizer". At the time of inspection, "flammable" label was observed on the lined cardboard overpack container, and "corrosive" label was observed on a black poly 55 -gallon container. It's unclear if these containers are compatible with all the wastes for which they are being used at this site. Hazardous wastes shall be stored in a container made of or lined with materials which will not react with, and are otherwise compatible with, the hazardous waste to be transferred or stored, so that the ability of the container to contain the waste is not impaired. Immediately provide a proof that these containers are approved for storage and transportation and are compatible with the substances for which they are being for. Submit proof of correction to the EHD. This is a Class II violation. 403 CCR 66265.173 Failed to keep hazardous waste containers closed except when adding or removing hazardous waste. One black 55 -gallon metal container storing medical hazardous waste, was observed with a lid which was not closed. No waste was being added or removed to this container at the time of inspection. All hazardous waste containers shall be closed at all times except when adding or removing waste. This container was closed, as appropriate, at the time of inspection. This was corrected. This is a Class II violation. 607 CCR 66266.81(b) Damaged lead acid batteries not properly managed and labeled. One damaged lead acid battery was observed inside the storage area along with other undamaged lead acid batteries. Any damaged battery shall be managed so as to minimize the release of acid and lead and to protect the handlers and the environment, including at a minimum: 1. stored and transported in a nonreactive, structurally secure, closed container capable of preventing the release of acid and lead; 2. a container holding one or more damaged batteries shall be labeled with the date that the first battery in the container was placed there, i.e., the initial date of accumulation; 3. all container labels shall be written in ink, paint or other weather -resistant material so that the date is legible and conspicuous 4. a container holding one or more damaged batteries shall be packed for transportation in a manner that prevents the container from tipping, spilling or breaking during the transporting. This was corrected at the time of inspection, ensure that all damaged lead acid batteries are stored, and labeled in accordance with the Title 22 regulations. This is a Class II violation. Page 5 of 8
