Wilcox <br /> CAUTION:This email is originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless <br /> you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. <br /> Garrett, <br /> Our office was conducting industrial waste surveys and came across Stockton Propeller, Inc. Our <br /> office will be issuing a Zero Discharge Permit under 40 CFR 433 Metal Finishing as it was determined <br /> through our inspection that Stockton Propeller uses Alodine in there process and also generated <br /> Alodine waste. I'll assume your office is aware of the Alodine use and disposal through your <br /> inspections and CERS filing, but we wanted to confirm that SJCEHD was aware of a few issues we <br /> found. Etching process wastewater(acid and caustic rinse water) and penetrant fluid (Ardox <br /> 970P25E) rinse water are being discharged to the on site septic tank.Another issue of note with the <br /> penetrant process room was the plumbing code violations. There was no active plumbing in the <br /> penetrant room and operators were manually pumping with a garden hose and submersible pump <br /> into the ceiling and dropped into a sewer vent pipe and ultimately to the septic tank. <br /> This facility is located within the County but falls under Federal Regulations for Alodine and other <br /> ancillary processes. Our office is currently in the process of issuing a Zero Discharge Permit which <br /> stipulates the waste cannot be brought to out facility from any of our permitted septic haulers and <br /> will be added to our Do Not Pump List. <br /> Please let Richard or myself know if you need any additional info.They're currently in the process of <br /> drafting a permit application for us and the landlord lives on the property. Mike Belmont is the <br /> Service Manager and contact if needed. <br /> Thanks, <br /> Bryan Toledo <br /> Senior Environmental Control Officer <br /> City of Stockton Municipal Utilities Department <br /> Environmental Control Division <br /> Phone (209) 937-8719 <br /> Cell (209) 993-3273 <br /> Fax (209) 937-8702 <br /> Bryan.toledo(@stocktonca.gov <br />
