OBSERVATIONS: -According to Shawn Allen, Shop Manager, oily absorbent was thrown away into the trash for disposal. He stated that he was just recently told by his disposal company to start putting oily absorbent into a 55 gallon drum to be treated as hazardous waste. He stated during the inspection that he was going to start doing that. -In the storage area behind the maintenance shop, one rusted 55 gallon steel drum and one blue 16 gallon steel drum contained unknown material. -In the wash bay,two black 55 gallon poly drums dropped off by delivery trucks contained an unknown material. -The facility has a wash bay where waste water generated from washing external vehicles is mixed with a cement like mixture to create a clay like substance. Shawn Allen, Shop Manager,was not able to provide any disposal records for the pickup of the mixture. He stated that he believed the clay like substance was used in asphalt manufacturing. Immediately make a complete hazardous waste determination on the waste water initially generated before it enters the system. -The facility sells treated wood. The facility will also apply chemicals to treated wood that has been cut for customers. The two chemicals used to treat wood on site are"Copper Green Wood Preservative,"and "M-Fire AAF21." The treated wood the facility receives are"Pyro-Guard,""Preservabalance,""D-Blaze Fire Retardant, Pressure Treated Wood,"and "ACQ Preserve and Preserve Plus Pressure Treated Wood." The facility separates treated wood waste blocks from non-treated wood waste blocks. The treated wood waste blocks are disposed of into the normal trash as non-hazardous waste and is picked up by Republic Services. Saw dust generated from cutting activities is not separated and is combined with the sawdust of not-treated wood. The saw dust also goes into the normal trash. REGULATION GUIDANCE: Any person who generates a waste shall determine if the waste is a hazardous waste as specified in Title 22 California Code of Regulations(CCR). There are wastes that are listed as hazardous wastes. There are wastes that exhibit one or more of the hazardous waste characteristics:toxic, corrosive, reactive or ignitable. CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately cease disposal of the above listed wastes, make a hazardous waste determination for each waste, and manage them according to Title 22 CCR. Use Safety Data Sheets(SDS),waste sampling and test results or other knowledge to support your hazardous waste determination. Waste testing must be done using methods specified in Title 22 CCR including sections 66261.20-24. The facility has not made a hazardous waste determination on any of the treated wood wastes generated. Immediately make a complete hazardous waste determination on each treated wood waste to show they are hazardous or nonhazardous waste. If the waste is deemed hazardous, begin managing as hazardous waste or begin managing according to the treated wood waste alternative management standards. Submit a statement and supporting documentation with your hazardous waste determination. Demonstrate current storage and labeling for wastes determined to be hazardous wastes.
