The following wastes were observed on site with no hazardous waste determinations made by the facility: -Steel turnings observed in the trash can in the Machine Shop. The metals were removed from the trash by Mr. Van Teslaar for disposal in the metal bins throughout the shop. -Metal fines observed on the floor of the machine shop. -55 gallon steel drum of unknown liquid, labeled "empty" in the yard south of the Blasting Department. -Yellow liquid was observed pooled on a piece of cardboard on the floor of the Urethane Department. According to Mr. Van Teslaar, this is probably a urethane waste, and is being left until it dries and can be thrown away because it is difficult to clean up while wet. -A pile of metal, including metal fines, was observed on the ground in the Roll Department. According to Mr. Van Teslaar, the metals will be placed "in the trash." -A large pile of cans of cured urethane were observed in the yard south of the Blasting Department. According to Mr. Van Teslaar, the urethane is not hazardous once it has cured. He stated that there is sometimes a small amount of urethane remaining in the buckets when it is placed in the pile to"cure" so it can be thrown away. -Metal grindings were observed on the ground around a band saw just east of the Blasting Department. -Grit blast was observed on the floor throughout the Blasting Department. The metal fines were observed spreading under the walls of the building to the outside and were observed on the ground outside on both the north and west sides of the building. -Sand blast waste was observed on the ground outside the southwest corner of the Blasting Department. According to Mr. Van Teslaar, this waste was sampled and determined to be non-hazardous in 2012, but has not been tested since, despite using it on additional metals. -Bead blast waste was observed on the ground around the bead blasters west of the Blasting Department. Any person who generates a waste shall determine if the waste is a hazardous waste. Immediately stop disposal of these wastes as non-hazardous, prevent these wastes from being released to the environment, make a hazardous waste determination for the above noted wastes, and manage them according the Title 22 hazardous waste regulations. Submit a statement and supporting documentation explaining how these wastes were managed. This is a repeat violation, Class II. 103 CCR 66262.40(c) Failed to retain hazardous waste determination including waste analysis on site for 3 years. No waste analysis was available for the urethane solid waste. Mr. Van Teslaar stated the waste had been analyzed, but could not locate the test results. This waste is being disposed of as non-hazardous waste. A generator shall make a hazardous waste determination and keep a record of any test results, waste analyses, or other determinations made in accordance with hazardous waste regulations for at least three years from the date that the waste was last disposed of. Immediately locate a copy of the waste analysis conducted for the urethane solid waste and submit a copy to the EHD. If a copy is unavailable, immediately make a hazardous waste determination and begin managing the urethane solid waste under Title 22 hazardous waste regulations. This is a minor violation.
