Inspection Report <br /> State of California-California Environmental Protection Agency Department of Toxic Substances Control <br /> INSPECTION REPORT <br /> I. GENERAL INFORMATION <br /> Company Name: Lodi Chrome (hereafter referred to as LC) <br /> Facility Address: 316 N. Main Street <br /> Lodi, California 95240-0604 <br /> Telephone Number: 209-368-4691 <br /> EPA ID Number: Previously CAL00003304; recently changed to federal <br /> number: CAR000143776. <br /> Facility Type: Metal plating job shop. <br /> Regulated Units: LC is not authorized to treat any hazardous waste onsite. <br /> According to Mr. Reggie Mason, owner and operator, LC <br /> does not generate any hazardous waste rinse water from <br /> electroplating operations. Mr. Mason stated that the rinse <br /> tanks used in LC's plating processes are "continuous flow" <br /> (e.g., water flows out as fast as fresh water flows in). <br /> Therefore, according to Mr. Mason, the rinse water never <br /> accumulates hazardous materials in sufficient concentration <br /> to make the waste rinse water a hazardous waste. Waste <br /> rinse water is discharged from the facility to the local <br /> sanitation district. <br /> Waste Streams: Entity (E400) analysis and waste code by year analysis <br /> using the Department of Toxic Substances Control's <br /> (DTSC's) hazardous waste tracking system (HWTS) shows <br /> that LC transferred 0.45870 tons of hazardous waste to <br /> offsite facilities in 2003 (see attachment 1). All of this waste <br /> was classified as "degreasing sludge" [California waste code <br /> 451 ; Resource Conservation and Recovery (RCRA) waste <br /> code D002 (corrosive)]. According to Mr. Mason, the <br /> "degreasing sludge" is material recovered from the bottom of <br /> an alkaline cleaning tank used to degrease parts before <br /> electroplating. <br /> Regulatory Status: Because of the "continuous flow" rinsing system used by <br /> LC, LC only generates an average of 35 kg of hazardous <br /> waste per month (based on manifest records in the HWTS). <br /> Based on this information, LC appears to be a conditionally <br /> 1 <br />
