The <br /> liquid was pH 12. The drum also contained solid sodium hydroxide according to Albert Mora. <br /> 4) Five drums of solid sodium hydroxide in the water treatment secondary containment was pH 13 with wetted pH <br /> paper. <br /> REGULATION GUIDANCE: Any person who generates a waste shall determine if the waste is a hazardous waste <br /> as specified in Title 22 California Code of Regulations(CCR). There are wastes that are listed as hazardous <br /> wastes. There are wastes that exhibit one or more of the hazardous waste characteristics:toxic, corrosive, reactive <br /> or ignitable. <br /> Title 22 CCR section 66261.2—Definition of Waste <br /> Title 22 CCR section 66261.3—Definition of Hazardous Waste <br /> A business operator shall keep records of any hazardous waste determinations made in accordance with Title 22 <br /> California Code of Regulations(CCR)section 66262.11 for at least three years from the date that the waste was last <br /> sent to an on-site or off-site treatment, storage,or disposal facility. The records may include Safety Data Sheets <br /> (SDS), waste test results or other hazardous waste determination documentation. <br /> CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately make a hazardous waste determination for each waste, and manage it <br /> according to Title 22 CCR. Use Safety Data Sheets(SDS),waste sampling and test results or other knowledge to <br /> support your hazardous waste determination. Waste testing must be done using methods specified in Title 22 CCR <br /> including sections 66261.20-24. <br /> Submit a statement and supporting documentation with your hazardous waste determination. Demonstrate current <br /> storage and labeling for wastes determined to be hazardous wastes. Provide disposal records for wastes <br /> determined to be hazardous wastes and stored longer than the number of days specified in Title 22 CCR for your <br /> hazardous waste generator status. <br /> This is a Class II violation. <br /> Overall Inspection Comments: <br /> Note: One half-full black 55-gallon drum containing used oil was observed without a hazardous waste label. All <br /> hazardous waste containers shall be marked with the following information: the words"Hazardous Waste", <br /> name and address of generator, hazardous properties, physical state, composition (contents), and accumulation <br /> start date. The container was labeled during the inspection. <br /> Note: Howard Chan, President was informed by EHD that if the PH level of the wastewater before pH <br /> adjustment is less than 2.0 or greater than 12.5 a treatment permit is required from the San Joaquin County <br /> Environmental Health Department. According to Howard Chan and Albert Mora, Maintenance Supervisor, the <br /> wastewater before treatment is pH range 4—8. <br /> FA0025491 PR0544855 SCO01 01/10/2023 <br /> EHD 22-01 Rev.12/06/2021 Page 4 of 5 Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator OIR <br /> 1868 E.
