RIPON May 15. 2019 SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS (CLASS I,CLASS II,or MINOR-Notice to Comply) Item# Remarks According to Renesha,the items mentioned above, with the exception of the dish soap,were stored by another employee and to be used to clean the facility. However,the labeling on the Stericycle Environmental Solutions StrongPak bags indicate the bags are meant for hazardous waste, since the Poster and Rules for Accumulating Hazardous Waste poster, posted on a wall next to the HW storage area,were made by the Stericycle Environmental Solutions StrongPak company(IMG 6322). Additionally,the Rules poster states that there should be only one waste per bag, referring to only one hazardous waste per bag. Renesha removed the items from the cabinet and placed the items in their appropriate HW totes. -Two bags labeled as"Hazardous Waste"and containing used paper towels were found on top of a tote located on the ground beneath shelves of Dollar Tree baskets at the front of the store. Renesha said the baskets are used to hold items that are waiting to be placed back on the shelves for sale,while the tote on the ground is used to hold items waiting to be processed as hazardous waste. Renesha said the two hazardous waste bags with paper towels should have been inside the tote. Renesha suspected the paper towels were used to clean something in the store, but did not know what, nor what was on the paper towels. Renesha ultimately marked the two bags with"CB"for Corrosive Bases and placed them in a CB HW tote. (IMG 6382-4,6434) -The items listed below(except items noted with an asterisk*)were found inside bags labeled"Stericycle"and"One Waste Per Bag,"and inside the unlabeled tote found on the ground at the front of the store.
