Lodi Chrome <br />and the nickel tank. I asked if Lodi Chrome had ever cleaned the floor of the plating <br />area. Mr. Mason said that he had cleaned the floor several years ago but has not <br />cleaned the floor since that time. Based on Mr. Mason's estimate of the time when the <br />floor was last cleaned the waste deposited on the floor may be several years old. <br />I asked Mr. Mason if any of the tanks had leaked onto the floor after Lodi Chrome <br />ceased operation in June 2006. Mr. Mason informed me that he checks on the shop <br />and the plating tanks on a weekly basis. Mr. Mason reported that none of the plating <br />tanks had leaked since the facility ceased operations and the floor conditions had not <br />changed since June 2006. Therefore, all the waste observed on the floor has been <br />stored since at least June 2006. <br />Inspection Rep <br />Lodi Chrome has not complied with the Enforcement Order (Docket HWCA No. <br />20040427) in that hazardous waste, as shown in the Attachment C Sample Results, is <br />being stored improperly on the plating shop floor. In addition, Health and Safety Code <br />25201 (a) and California Code of Regulations, title 22, section 66262.34(a) prohibits <br />accumulation times from exceeding 90 days without a permit. The facility does not have <br />a permit for storage of hazardous waste for greater than 90 days. Hazardous waste <br />deposited on the floor has been stored for over 239 days. Therefore, Lodi Chrome has <br />violated Health and Safety Code 25201 (a) and California Code of Regulations, title 22, <br />section 66262.34(a) in that hazardous waste spilled on the plating floor was been stored <br />at Lodi Chrome facility for longer than 90 days. This violation is being cited as a Class I <br />violation in section V of the inspection report. <br />Photo No.2A-Floor under the copper cyanide tank that is cover with white crystal waste <br />5of11 <br />
