Environmental Health Department <br />Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator Inspection Report <br />Date: <br />November 07, 2019 <br /> Facility Address: <br /> 5406 Pacific Ave, Stockton <br /> Facility Name: <br /> Petco #1319 <br />SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS <br />(CLASS I, CLASS II, or MINOR - Notice to Comply) <br />RemarksItem # <br /> 106 CCR 66262.34(d)(2) Failed to train employees on waste handling and emergency procedures. <br />OBSERVATION: At the time of inspection, it could not be demonstrated (not necessarily documented) that <br />employees who handle hazardous waste were properly trained, based on the following observations: <br />1. When asked how the facility manages the waste generated from a chemical spill clean-up, Claudia Castellanos, <br />Assistant Store Manager, gave the example of a shampoo spill. Claudia stated if a container of shampoo were to <br />spill onto the facility floor, the container of shampoo would be placed into the appropriate hazardous waste bin, <br />while the paper towels used to wipe up the spilled shampoo would be disposed of into the trash. According to the <br />Hazardous Waste Area and Spill Supplies Instructions listed on the Petco poster, found in the hazardous waste <br />storage area, potentially hazardous materials are never to be disposed of in the trash or down the drain, and paper <br />towels used to wipe up a small spill are to be placed in a bag, labeled, and placed into the appropriate hazardous <br />waste bin (see photos IMG 9295-6). Also according to this poster, shampoos are classified as potentially toxic <br />hazardous materials. According to the label on the Toxic Hazardous Waste bin, found in the hazardous waste <br />storage area, shampoo is listed as an example of toxic hazardous waste, and a Tropiclean Cat Shampoo was found <br />in the Toxic Hazardous Waste bin (IMG 9306-10). <br />REGULATION GUIDANCE: The business owner must ensure that all employees are thoroughly familiar with <br />proper waste handling and emergency procedures, relevant to their responsibilities during normal facility operations <br />and emergencies. <br />CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately train the employees. Provide proof of training and training materials within <br />30 days to the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) for employees whose responsibilities <br />include hazardous waste. <br />This is a minor violation. <br />FA0016654 PR0541075 SC001 11/07/2019 <br />EHD 22-01 Rev. 9/20/2019 Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator OIRPage 4 of 7 <br />1868 E.
