San Joaquin County Health Department Environmental 1868 East Hazelton Avenue, Stockton, California 95205-6232 Telephone: (209) 468-3420 Fax: (209) 468-3433 Web: www.siaov.org/ehd Large Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator Inspection Report Facility Name: SJC PERMANENT HOUSEHOLD HAZ WASTE Facility Address: 7850 S RA BRIDGEFORD ST, STOCKTON Date: June 29, 2016 SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS (CLASS I, CLASS II, or MINOR- Notice to Comply) Item # Remarks 714 HSC 25201.16(f) Failed to properly manage containers of waste aerosol cans. According to Olie Janvrin, waste aerosol cans are not being segregated for incompatibility at this time. Cans with the actuators still in place and missing can caps, were observed inside the waste aerosol storage bin. Olie indicated that based on her review of the DTSC's Aerosol Can Waste Management fact sheet dated October 2015, the HHWF doesn't have to segregate aerosol cans for incompatibility purposes. At this time, all aerosol cans are being stored in a lined over pack cardboard container, without any segregation. According to the HSC 25201.16(f)(4) and 25201.16(g), the universal waste aerosol cans shall be accumulated in a manner that is sorted by type and compatibility of contents. As such, incompatible materials shall be kept segregated and managed appropriately in separate containers. Immediately separate the incompatible aerosol cans and store them in separate containers. Ensure that all aerosol cans are checked for compatibility prior to storage. Submit proof of correction to the EHD. HSC 25201.16 (f) Any container used to accumulate or transport universal waste aerosol cans, or the contents removed from a universal waste aerosol can or processing device, unless the contents have been determined to not be hazardous waste, shall meet all of the following requirements: (1) (A) Except when waste is added or removed or as provided in subparagraph (B), the container shall be closed, structurally sound, and compatible with the contents of the universal waste aerosol can, and shall show no evidence of leakage, spillage, or damage that could cause leakage under reasonably foreseeable conditions. (B) The closed container requirement in subparagraph (A) does not apply to a container used to accumulate universal waste aerosol cans prior to processing the cans pursuant to subdivision (h), or prior to shipping the cans offsite, except that the container shall be covered at the end of each workday. (2) The container shall be placed in a location that has sufficient ventilation to avoid formation of an explosive atmosphere, and shall be designed, built, and maintained to withstand pressures reasonably expected during storage and transportation. (3) (A) The container shall be placed on or above a floor or other surface that is free of cracks or gaps and is sufficiently impervious and bermed to contain leaks and spills. (B) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to a container used to accumulate universal waste aerosol cans prior to processing the cans pursuant to subdivision (h) or prior to shipping the cans offsite. (4) Incompatible materials shall be kept segregated and managed appropriately in separate containers. (5) A container holding flammable wastes shall be kept at a safe distance from heat and open flames. (6) A container used to hold universal waste aerosol cans shall be labeled or marked clearly with one of the following phrases: "Universal Waste-Aerosol Cans", "Waste Aerosol Cans", or "Used Aerosol Cans". HSC 25201.16 (g) A universal waste handler shall accumulate universal waste aerosol cans in accumulation containers that meet the requirements of subdivision (f). The universal waste aerosol cans shall be accumulated in a manner that is sorted by type and compatibility of contents. This is a Class II violation. Overall Inspection Comments: Onsite to conduct a routine hazardous waste generator inspection. The inspection was initiated on 6-29-2016, wa: continued on 6-30-206, and was finalized on 7-1-2016.
