I misunderstood you. My fault. I thought you were asking us how we were separating the oil from the hazardous <br /> waste. We do consider the metal shavings as a hazardous waste... so I will have my guys stop separating the two. As for <br /> the metal grinding machine we are using a scraper to pick up all of the used oil and metal shavings until all of the <br /> shavings have been removed. We then use oil absorbent pads to pick up the remainder of the oil and dispose of it in our <br /> used oil absorbent container. Let me know your thoughts. <br /> Thanks, <br /> Eric Mootz <br /> Manager of Plant Engineering <br /> Swiss American Sausage Co. <br /> M: 920-284-1412 <br /> From: Gaitan,Jason <jgaitan@sjgov.org> <br /> Sent:Thursday, April 23, 2020 1:30 PM <br /> To: Mootz_Eric_J <EJMootz@Hormel.com> <br /> Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: Return to Compliance. <br /> Hi Eric, <br /> Thank you for the response. I have a question, the metal shavings are being managed as hazardous waste? If yes,then <br /> the metal shavings mixed with used oil should not be separated and instead should be all disposed of as hazardous <br /> waste in one container. Note: metal shavings not mixed with used oil should be managed by themselves and not be <br /> comingled with metal shavings mixed with used oil. <br /> As for violation 301: the main question that needs to be answered is in regards to the photo attached to this email.The <br /> used oil accumulated on this metal grinding machine, how was it cleaned off. We established that the used oil is being <br /> managed as hazardous waste. I want to know what was used to clean the used oil off the machine, rags, absorbent, etc. <br /> then how were the cleaning materials managed afterwards. <br /> Please contact me if you need me to clarify further. I hope this email helps. <br /> Looking forward to your response, <br /> .JASON GAITAN <br /> EHS <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Environmental Health Department <br /> (209)468-9848-Office <br /> (209)468-3433-Fax <br /> 1868 E.
