hazardous waste containers. One container was waste paint thinner and the other was waste oil-based paint. Spoiled latex paint was also observed in the paint storage building. Product material was also stored in the paint storage building. We continued to walk through the facility through the Quonset and the grounds keeping area until we reached the Hazardous Waste Storage Area. This area had a covering with a chain linked fence and gate present to control access. I observed one jug of an unknown substance in the Hazardous Waste Storage Area. I asked Mr. Schmidt to make a waste determination on the unknown substance. I Observed a number of empty containers around the Hazardous Waste Storage Area and Lube Room. I informed Mr. Schmidt about the regulations pertaining to the management of empty containers that used to hold hazardous substances. I informed Mr. Schmidt that empty hazardous substance containers must have the date when they were emptied written on the container. These containers must be managed appropriately within one year of being emptied. One container labeled PCB was observed with no hazardous waste labeling in the hazardous waste storage area. An unlabeled asbestos container was also observed in the hazardous waste storage area. Two containers of paint chips were being accumulated by the Hazardous Waste Storage Area. Mr. Schmidt stated that they were waiting for the waste analysis to come back on the paint chips. We proceeded to the Auto and Bus Garage. I observed oil filters being drained into a container. No hazardous waste labeling was observed on the container. We proceeded to the Lube Room. Inside the Lube Room I observed an open and unlabeled container, approximately 30 gallons in size, of crushed used oil filters. I also observed oil filters being drained into an unlabeled container. I observed a container in the work station trench. I asked Mr. Schmidt if he new what was inside the container. At the time of the walk through inspection, he did not know (during the conclusion of our inspection on the second day, Mr. Schmidt told me that the container was empty). This concluded the facility walk through portion of the inspection. We took a lunch break, then resumed our inspection with the file review at approximately 1335 hours. Findings of the records review can be seen in Section III -Documents Review. We completed our record review at approximately 1430 hours. We informed Mr. Knight and Mr. Schmidt that we would conclude our inspection on Tuesday morning, October 24, 2000. We resumed our inspection at approximately 0900 hours on October 24, 2000. 1 went over what we observed during our inspection with Mr. Knight and Mr. Schmidt. I proceeded to go over the minor violations we observed and gave Mr. Schmidt a copy of the Summary of Violations. I explained to Mr. Knight and Mr. Schmidt that they need to correct the minor violations we observed during the inspection within 30 days of the inspection. During the closing meeting I was able to leave Department Fact Sheets regarding generator requirements. I also informed Mr. Knight and Mr. Schmidt about the California Compliance School, Hazardous Waste Generator Workshop. I faxed Mr. Knight information regarding California Compliance School classes.
