Description of Facility <br /> The McCormick and Baxter Creosoting Company owns and operates a wood <br /> preserving facility for lumber used primarily by the construction and <br /> utilities industries. <br /> Hazardous wastes produced on site are primarily waste liquids or sludges <br /> containing either pentachlorophenol, ammoniacal copper, arsenic, <br /> creosote, or some mixture of each. Hight pH rinse waters containing <br /> pentachlorophenol, empty hazardous waste drums, lubricating oils, and <br /> storm-water runoff containing hazardous wastes are also produced on site. <br /> Sediment sludges from the 5 plant retort units, sludges and skimmings <br /> from the oily-waste tank, and intermittent wastes from the chemical <br /> handling areas are collected in 55-gallon drums and stored in the haz- <br /> ardous waste storage facility. This storage facility is covered and <br /> has a design capacity of approximately 9,000 gallons. The design and <br /> construction of the storage facility complies with applicable state and <br /> federal standards and has been certified for its intended uses by an <br /> engineer registered in California. <br /> The plant's oily-water treatment (evaporation and separation) tank <br /> receives condensate from the 6,000-gallon blowdown tank, condensate from <br /> 2 butane raw storage tanks, and the sludge from the 2 oil-water separator <br /> tanks (north and south). The oily-waste tank is periodically pumped out, <br /> and the resultant wastes along with drummed hazardous wastes are trans- <br /> ported to a Class I site for proper disposal. <br /> The facility permit addresses only the hazardous waste treatment and <br /> storage aspects of the facility. The storm water ponds will remain under <br /> interim status regulations. The issuance of this permit is contingent <br /> upon compliance with the Department's Director's Order and the Settlement <br /> Agreement with the owner or operator, both of which relate to the correc- <br /> tion of hazardous waste contamination :problems on-site. <br /> II. Explanation of Draft Permit Conditions <br /> The application, OP, and. supplementary documents have been reviewed and <br /> found to be complete. <br />
