Adjacent to the roll form line, a container labeled "hazardous waste gear oil" had an accumulation start date that exceeded the 90 day storage time. The label on this container lacked the name and address of the person producing the waste. At the end of the roller line, I observed two large pieces of steel that appeared to be used as some type of cover to a structure located below grade. Mr. Ito asked Mr. Mathias what was below the steel. Mr. Mathias stated there is a concrete structure lined with epoxy that catches the spent roll form coolant. A coolant sludge is generated in the tank which is cleaned out as needed. Mr. Mathias led us to the welding and assembly area located on the west side of Sacramento St. Adjacent to the welding and assembly area is the forklift repair area. Immediately inside the east roll up door, I observed a 55 gallon drum platinum in color, labeled "hazardous waste", with an incomplete label. In this area, used oil filters are stored for recycling. Mr. Mathias then led us to the maintenance shop where used oil is kept in an aboveground tank, labeled "hazardous waste". This label lacked the name of the person producing the waste. This tank is situated over an aboveground catch basin that provides secondary containment. In the maintenance shop, decontamination equipment was not visible. When Mr. Eggleton was asked why there was not decontamination equipment at this location, he stated Interlake plans on installing some, but it has not been installed. Next, we were taken to the area referred to as "paint and finish" located on the east side of Sacramento St. In the vicinity of the spray booths, I observed a black 55 gallon drum labeled "Hazardous Waste MEK T.B.R". The label lacked the name and address of the person producing the waste. Adjacent to the four stage washer, I observed an aboveground tank referred to as the "Dump Tank". Mr. Eggleton stated this tank receives wastewater from the steel washing process. The wastewater is allowed to experience separation. The sludge that settles out is managed as a hazardous waste. The aqueous wastestream is discharged to the city of Lodi P.O.T.W. Mr. Eggleton was unable to furnish data to determine if the waste entering the "Dump Tank" is a hazardous waste. In the paint and finish area next to the "paint kitchen", I observed at least one green, 55 gallon drum, labeled "Non -Hazardous Waste" containing what Mr. Eggleton identified as paint waste. This container was not labeled correctly. Adjacent to the spray booths located next to the "paint kitchen", I observed a black, 55 gallon drum labeled "hazardous waste" that did not have a lid or a label. Mr. Mathias indicated the drum collects paint waste from the spray booths. Hanging on the side of one spray booth, 1 observed a black five gallon
