NARATIVE OF INVESTIGATION:
On Friday, June 28, 2002, at approximately 14:15 hrs, I entered Clark pest Control Office
accompanied by Tim Ryan and April West, Industrial Waste Inspectors. I introduced .
myself to the receptionist and informed her that we were there to conduct an inspection.
The receptionist called Keith MC KENZIE, Quality Assurance Director, to come up front
to meet with us. After explaining the nature of the inspection to McKenzie, he then
referred us to Joe 'VALENZUELA, Shop Forman, who led the Industrial Waste
Inspectors to the floor drain sump.
At this point, I asked McKenzie if he could sign a Consent for Administrative Inspection
form so that we may have permission to obtain samples and take photographs. McKenzie
said he would call the owner, Jim CLARK, to come down and sign the form himself.
McKenzie made the call to Clark and informed me that Clark was having lunch at
Uriccio's which is across the street from the Clark corporate offices located at 1700 K St.
During the time I was waiting for Clark to arrive, I rejoined the Industrial Waste
Inspectors who were examining the floor drain. The drain is located inside an exterior
shed on the north side of the shop building. There is a stainless steel sink attached to the
north side of the shed. A 2" diameter hard rubber hose connected to the sink drain
terminates at ground level where the drainage runs out and flows through under a gap
beneath the shed wall to the floor drain inside. Two partly filled pesticide containers
were observed in the sink, along with an empty container which had been cut in half. A
drum of empty, cut-in-half, pesticide containers were stored inside the shed. An open top
5-gallon pail of waste sludge was also inside the shed.
Mr. Clark drove up and I introduced the inspection team and asked him to sign the
Consent form, which he did. The Industrial Waste Inspectors then obtained a composite
sample from the floor drain and the pail containing sludge (Sample #1), and a second
sample from the discharge hose from the stainless steel sink (Sample #2). A dye was
added to the floor drain and the nearest sewer manhole was opened to observe the dye
passing from the floor drain into the sewer, which was confirmed as being connected to
the.sewer. Valenzuela said the floor drain had been clogging up, and that material had
been recently removed and placed in the pail.
A discussion then ensued between Clark and Valenzuela about why the waste sludge had
not yet been disposed. Valenzuela told Clark that he thought disposal cost might be
several hundred dollars. Clark responded, "If that's all it costs, go ahead and pay it."
A chain of custody was completed for the samples and I directly transported the samples
to BC Laboratory, a State Certified lab for hazardous waste analysis. The laboratory
results indicate that the material in the discharge hose from the stainless steel sink
qualified as a hazardous waste in California due to its aquatic toxicity.
NO FURTHER INFORMATION AT THIS TIME.

DETERMINATION OF VIOLATIONS
2. The CUPA hereby determines that Respondent violated:
2.1 The Hazardous Waste Control Law {California Health and Safety Code
section 25100, et seq, to wit: section 25189.5. Disposal, treatment or storage at, or
transportation to, facilities without permits or at unauthorized points. On June 28, 2002,
a hazardous waste generator inspection was conducted at the site for compliance with
regulatory standards as well as assessing the potential for environmental contamination
associated with the use of a floor drain in communication with discharge from an exterior
sink used for mixing and rinsing pesticide containers.
2.2 On June 28, 2002, waste water samples were collected from the floor drain
and sludge recently removed from the floor drain and from the discharge hose connected
to the exterior pesticide mixing sink.
2.3 On July 14, 2002, laboratory results from the sample of waste water removed
from the discharge hose from the exterior pesticide mixing sink confirmed that the waste
is considered a hazardous waste in California, due to its aquatic toxicity, pursuant to Title
22 of the California Code of Regulations, section 66261.24(a)(6).
SCHEDULE FOR COMPLIANCE
3. Based on the forgoing DETERMINATION OF VIOLATIONS, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED AND AGREED TO THAT:

All containers under 28 gallons, must be rinsed at the time of use, unless they
are returned to the registrant or the pesticide is not diluted during use. There
are two rinsing procidures. Follow one of them to ensure you have properly
rinsed containers.

NARATIVE OF INVESTIGATION:
On Friday, June 28, 2002, at approximately 14:15 hrs, I entered Clark Pest Control Office
accompanied by Tim Ryan and April West, Industrial Waste Inspectors. I introduced
myself to the receptionist and informed her that we were there to conduct an inspection.
The receptionist called Keith MC KENZIE, Quality Assurance Director, to come up front
to meet with us. After explaining the nature of the inspection to McKenzie, he then
referred us to Joe VALENZUELA, Shop Forman, who led the Industrial Waste
Inspectors to the floor drain sump.
At this point, I asked McKenzie if he could sign a Consent for Administrative Inspection
form so that we may have permission to obtain samples and take photographs. McKenzie
said he would call the owner, Jim CLARK, to come down and sign the form himself.
McKenzie made the call to Clark and informed me that Clark was having lunch at
Uriccio's which is across the street from the Clark corporate offices located at 1700 K St.
During the time I was waiting for Clark to arrive, I rejoined the Industrial Waste
Inspectors who were examining the floor drain. The drain is located inside an exterior
shed on the north side of the shop building. There is a stainless steel sink attached to the
north side of the shed. A 2" diameter hard rubber hose connected to the sink drain
terminates at ground level where the drainage runs out and flows through under a gap
beneath the shed wall to the floor drain inside. Two partly filled pesticide containers
were observed in the sink, along with an empty container which had been cut in haiti A
drum of empty, cut-in-half, pesticide containers were stored inside the shed. An open top
5-gallon pail of waste sludge was also inside the shed.
Mr. Clark drove up and I introduced the inspection team and asked him to sign the
Consent form, which he did. The Industrial Waste Inspectors then obtained a composite
sample from the floor drain and the pail containing sludge (Sample #I), and a second
sample from the discharge hose from the stainless steel sink (Sample #2). A dye was
added to the floor drain and the nearest sewer manhole was opened to observe the dye
passing from the floor drain into the sewer, which was confirmed as being connected to
the sewer. Valenzuela said the floor drain had been clogging up, and that material had
been recently removed and placed in the pail.
A discussion then ensued between Clark and Valenzuela about why the waste sludge had
not yet been disposed. Valenzuela told Clark that he thought disposal cost might be
several hundred dollars. Clark responded, "If that's all it costs, go ahead and pay it."
A chain of custody was completed for the samples and I directly transported the samples
to BC Laboratory, a State Certified lab for hazardous waste analysis. The laboratory
results indicate that the material in the discharge hose from the stainless steel sink
qualified as a hazardous waste in California due to its aquatic toxicity.

The document was sent in "Microsoft word" and is as follows;
Ralph,
Investigation Of Possible Illegal Disposal Of
Hazardous Waste At Clark Pest Control.
On February 26, 2002, Ralph Huey was notified by the Ag Commissioners Office that
an employee of Clark Pest Control had called them to report that the company was dumping residual
chemicals down the drain. I was asked if our office wanted to pursue this alleged h~ardous waste
violation and I stated that we would. The employees= name that the Ag Commissioner office reported
was John Means.
On February 26, 2002, Ralph Huey instructed Howard Wines to confer with City Waste
Water Division in Preparation of an investigation of alleged dumping of chemical residue down the sewer
drain by Clark Pest Control. Ralph Huey said the complaint had been referred to this office from the Kern
County Ag Commissioner=s office and that the complaint involved discharge of chemicals to the City
sewer. The complainant was identified as John Means.
On or about February 27, 2002, Howard Wines contacted Waste Water Supervisor
Wen-Shi Chung regarding the complaint and April West was assigned to the investigation.
On February 28, 2002, April West telephoned Rich White, Ag Biologist IV and requested more details
regarding the complaint. In a memo dated 2/28/02 @ 2:15pm, April West wrote, ARick indicated the
complaint was received from a current Clark Pest Control employee. An employee advised another
employee to discharge residual chemical and container rinsate down the drain (sewer) at the shop
location. @ (Memo attached)
On March 8, 2002, April West received a telefax of the Pesticide Episode Investigation Report, dated
02/20/02, prepared by Irene Acosta, Ag Biologist III and reviewed/approved by Rick White. (Report
attached)
On April 11, 2002, a meeting with Deputy City Attorney, Walt Porr was conducted to discuss the merits of
the case. Walt Porr suggested that Howard Wines should contact Captain Nell Mahan to enlist the help of
the Bakersfield Police Department in contacting the complainant for further information. Detective Brad
Norris was assigned to assist, and during the month of April, Detective Norris made telephone contact with
John Means who denied any knowledge of the alleged complaint.
On or about May 10, 2002, Howard Wines telephoned John Means at Clark Pest Control to question him
about the complaint. Mr. Means said he was Adrawing a blank@ about the complaint to the Ag
Commissioner=s office and that he would call back if he remembered anything.
On or about May 24, 2002, Howard Wines telephoned Mr. Means at his work to follow up since he had not
called back. Mr. Means again denied any knowledge of the nature of the complaint.
If the residual or container rinsate was dumped into a sink drain, then there may be some residue
remaining in the trap. This is what we will attempt to obtain. If we provide 24-hour notification prior to
serving the warrant, we are concerned that the sink drain could be thoroughly washed down and any
residue could be completely washed into the sewer system. We hope to obtain samples from the sink
trap before an attempt to thoroughly wash out the trap can be completed.

26 3. As the Director of Environmental Services for the City of Bakersfield and as a
27 CUPA under State law, I am charged with enforcing the Hazardous Materials laws of the State
28 of California as more particularly set forth in Health and Safety Code sections 25100, et seq.
Declaration of R. Huey for Inspection Warrant -
Immediate Execution Without Notice
! As part of my duties, I am required to make determinations as to whether the conditions or
2 uses of properties constitute violations of the Health and Safety Code as they pertain to the
3 regulation of hazardous waste.
4 4. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 25185, I am authorized to conduct
5 ~nspections of premises like the I~roperty located at 530 California Avenue, Bakersfield,
6 California to ensure compliance with the Health and Safety Code. I, and members of my staff,
? are authorized to conduct inspections.
8 5. This affidavit is made in support of a request for an Inspection Warrant for Clark
9 Pest Control located at 530 California Avenue, Bakersfield, California, based upon a
]`0 reasonable belief that violations of the Health and Safety Code are occurring at the subject
! ! property in Bakersfield, California.
!2 6. Reasonable belief that a violation of the Health and Safety Code exists is based
!3 upon the following facts:
].4 a. On February 26, 2002, I was notified by the Kern County Ag
Commissioner that an employee of Clark Pest Control had called them
].5 to report that employees of the company were dumping residual
chemicals and chemical rinsate down the drains of Clark Pest Control
16 into the City sewers. I was asked by the Agricultural Commissioner's
Officer if our office wanted to pursue this alleged hazardous waste
].7 violation and I stated that we would. I was then informed that the
complaining employee was named John Means.
~9 b. On February 26, 2002, I instructed one of my subordinates, Howard
Wines, who is a Hazardous Materials Specialist, to confer with the City
20 Wastewater Division to assist us in our investigation.
21 c. On April 11,2002, I attended a meeting with Howard Wines and Deputy
City Attorney Walt Porr concerning the status of our investigation and
22 seeking his advice and direction in how best to further pursue the
investigation. Deputy City Attorney Porr informed us that in light of the
23 potential for criminal liability, that we should contact the Bakersfield
Police Department for assistance in the investigation. I directed Mr.
24 Wines to do so.
25 d. At this point, the Bakersfield Police Department is no longer assisting us
as it appears that our investigation will have to pursue administrative
26 channels. Hence, I have directed Mr. Wines to seek the assistance of
the City Attorney's Office in obtaining an administrative search warrant.
27 As an officer charged and empowered to investigate violations of
California's Hazardous Waste laws and based upon my experience over
28 the last several years in enforcing these laws, I am particularly concerned
Declaration of R. Huey for Inspection Warrant -
Immediate Execution Without Notice 2
! that the nature of the violation in the case is extremely difficult to detect
and easily covered up. In particular, administrative warrant requirements
2. normally envision a 24-hour notice period before execution of the
warrant. In this case, if such a requirement is adhered to, I fear that
3 notice to the violator will enable the violator to thoroughly rinse and wash
out all drains, traps, sumps and other chemical containers and conduits
4 such that when my staff attempts their inspection and the sampling
authorized under the Health and Safety Code, that the violator will have
.5 been able to cover up its wrong-doing and obstruct my investigation
thereby. Based upon my investigation to date, there is no way that the
0 City sewer system can be tapped below the violator's entry point and
obtain reliable data to pinpoint that the contaminates in the sewer are, in
7 fact, coming from the violator. Thus, the only way we can reasonably
expect to prove the violation is the inspect the property without notice and
8 obtain samples from the sinks, drains, sumps, traps and other places
where chemical residue and rinsate being dumped into the City sewer
9 system may remain trapped in the plumbing and associated fixtures on
the property. Thus, in order to assure anyhope of success in catching
]0 this violator, immediate execution of this warrant without notice is
necessary.
]]
]2. 7. I am requesting an inspection warrant to go to the business and inspect for the
13 illegal dumping of pesticides. I am also requesting the services of the Bakersfield Police
]4 Department to assist in the execution of this warrant.
! 5 8. If such violations are found to exist, they would constitute a violation of Health
l0 and Safety Code section 25189 and would thereby also constitute a public nuisance and
l? endanger the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Bakersfield.
]8 9. The City wishes to conduct an inspection of the subject property to determine
]0 the extent and nature of all Health and Safety Code violations.
2.0 10. The City of Bakersfield hereby requests that this Court issue an Inspection
2.! Warrant to allow the City to enter the subject property to determine whether the Health and
2.2-Safety Code is being violated.

] 4. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 25185, I am authorized to conduct
2 inspections of premises like the property located at 530 California Avenue, Bakersfield,
3 California to ensure compliance with the Health and Safety Code.
4 5. This affidavit is made in support of a request for an Inspection Warrant for Clark
5 Pest Control located at 530 California Avenue, Bakersfield, California, based upon a
6 reasonable belief that violations of the Health and Safety Code are occurring at the subject
7 property in Bakersfield, California.
8 6. Reasonable belief that a violation of the Health and Safety Code exists is based
9 upon the following facts:
]0 a. On February 26, 2002, I was instructed by my supervisor, Ralph Huey,
to confer with the City Wastewater Division in preparation for an
! 1 investigation of an alleged dumping of chemical residue into the sewer
drains by Clark Pest Control. Mr. Huey informed me that a complaint had
12 been referred to him by the Kern County Agricultural Commissioner's
Office concerning the discharge of chemicals into the City's sewer by
! 3 Clark Pest Control. He further advised me that the complaining party was
an employee of Clark Pest Control by the name of John Means
14
15 b. On or about February 27, 2002, I contacted Wen-Shi Cheung, a
Wastewater Supervisor for the City of Bakersfield, regarding the
!6 complaint against Clark Pest Control. Ms. Cheung assigned April West,
an Industrial Wastewater Inspector for the City of Bakersfield, to assist
!? me with this investigation.
! 8 c. On February 28, 2002, Ms. West telephoned Rich White, an agricultural
biologist for the County of Kern, requesting more details with respect to
19 the complaint against Clark Pest Control. In a memo dated February 28,
2002, Ms. West informed me that the complaint received by the Kern
20 County Agricultural Commissioner had been received from a current
employee of Clark Pest Control. The memo further advised that this
2! employee had been instructed by another.employee to discharge the
residual chemicals and the rinsate from a chemical container down the
22 drain into the City sewer at the Clark Pest Control shop. A true and
correct copy of that memo is attached hereto Exhibit "A."
23
24 d. On March 8, 2002, Ms. West received a facsimile transmission of a
Pesticide Episode and Investigation Report prepared by the Kern County
25 Agricultural Commissioner's Office concerning the complaint in this
matter. A true and correct copy of said Report is attached hereto as
26 Exhibit "B."

Declaration of H. Wines for Inspection Warrant -
Immediate Execution Without Notice 2
1 e. On April 11,2002, I attended a meeting with Ralph Huey and Deputy City
Attorney Walt Porr concerning our investigation to date and seeking
2 direction for furtherance of that investigation. I was informed by Deputy
City Attorney Porr that I should contact Captain Neil Mahan of the
:3 Bakersfield Police Department to obtain assistance in this investigation
inasmuch as the potential for criminal liability was very real.
4
5 f. Subsequent to my April 11,2002, meeting with Deputy City Attorney Porr,
I contacted Captain Mahan and he assigned Detective Brad Norris to
{5 assist us in our investigation. During the month of April, Detective Norris
made telephone contact with John Means, the complaining employee~
? who the denied any knowledge of the complaint detailed in Exhibit "B.'
Detective Norris informed me of this fact.
9 g. On or about May 10, 2002, I telephoned John Means at Clark Pest
Control to question him about his complaint to the Kern County
]0 Agricultural Commissioner. Mr. Means told me that he was drawing a
blank about this complaint and that he would call me back if he
22 remembered anything.
22
h. On or about May 24, 2002, I once again telephoned Mr. Means at Clark
23 Pest Control to follow-up with him concerning the complaint since he had
not called me back. Mr. Means, again, denied any knowledge of this
24 complaint.
25 7. I am requesting an inspection warrant to go to the business and inspect for the
]6 illegal dumping of pesticides. I am also requesting the services of the Bakersfield Police
27 Department to assist in the execution of this warrant.
28 8. If such violations are found to exist, they would constitute a violation of Health
29 and Safety Code section 25189 and would thereby also constitute a public nuisance and
20 endanger the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Bakersfield.
?-2 9. The City wishes to conduct an inspection of the subject property to determine
?-2 the extent and nature of all Health and Safety Code violations.
?-3 10. The City of Bakersfield hereby requests that this Court issue an Inspection
?-4 Warrant to allow the City to enter the subject property to determine whether the Health and
?.5 Safety Code is being violated.

Memo From:
From: Ralph Huey
To: Walt Porr
Date: 6/14/02 9:24AM
Subject: Re: Clark Pest Control
Walt;
The document was sent in "Microsoft word" and is as follows;
Ralph,
Investigation Of Possible Illegal Disposal Of
Hazardous Waste At Clark Pest Control.
On February 26, 2002, Ralph Huey was notified by the Ag Commissioners Office that
an employee of Clark Pest Control had called them to report that the company was dumping residual
chemicals down the drain. I was asked if our office wanted to pursue this alleged hazardous waste
violation and I stated that we would. The employees= name that the Ag Commissioner office reported
was John Means.
On February 26, 2002, Ralph Huey instructed Howard Wines to conf,er with City Waste
Water Division in Preparation of an investigation of alleged dumping of chemical residue down the sewer
drain by Clark Pest Control. Ralph Huey said the complaint had been referred to this office from the Kern
County Ag Commissioner=s office and that the complaint involved discharge of chemicals to the City
sewer. The complainant was identified as John Means.
On or about February 27, 2002, Howard Wines contacted Waste Water Supervisor
Wen-Shi Chung regarding the complaint and April West was assigned to the investigation.
On February 28, 2002, April West telephoned Rich White, Ag Biologist IV and requested more details
regarding the complaint. In a memo dated 2/28/02 @ 2:15pm, April West wrote, ARick indicated the
complaint was received from a current Clark Pest Control employee. An employee advised another
employee to discharge residual chemical and container rinsate down the drain (sewer) at the shop
location. @ (Memo attached)
On March 8, 2002, April West received a telefax of the Pesticide Episode Investigation Report, dated
02/20/02, prepared by Irene Acqsta, Ag Biologist III and reviewed/approved by Rick White. (Report
attached)
On April 11,2002, a meeting with Deputy City Attorney, Walt Porr was conducted to discuss the merits of
the case. Walt Porr suggested that Howard Wines should contact Captain Nell Mahan to enlist the help of
the Bakersfield Police Department in contacting the complainant for further information. Detective Brad
Norris was assigned to assist, and during the month of April, Detective Norris made telephone contact with
John Means who denied any knowledge of the alleged complaint.
On or about May 10, 2002, Howard Wines telephoned John Means at Clark Pest Control to question him
about the complaint. Mr. Means said he was Adrawing a blank@ about the complaint to the Ag
Commissioner=s office and that he would call back if he remembered anything.
On or about May 24, 2002, Howard Wines telephoned Mr. Means at his work to follow up since he had not
called back. Mr. Means again denied any knowledge of the nature of the complaint.
If the residual or container rinsate was dumped into a sink drain, then there may be some residue
remaining in the trap. This is what we will attempt to obtain. If we provide 24-hour notification prior to
serving the warrant, we are concerned that the sink drain could be thoroughly washed down and any
residue could be completely washed into the sewer system. We hope to obtain samples from the sink
trap before an attempt to thoroughly wash out the trap can be completed.

TRAINING TOPICS CHECK-OFF LIST
1. Format and meaning of information, such as precautionary statement about human health
hazard, contained in pesticide product labeling.
a. Ail Clark Pest Control employees who work with or handle pesticides have a right to work in a
safe and healthy enviromnent. Knowledge of the hazards of their use in conjunction with safe
operating practices help to give these persons the ability to protect themselves. The information
provided on the product label of pesticides in general will describe the human health hazards
associated with their use.
2. Hazards of pesticides, including acute and chronic effects, and sensitization, as identified
pesticide product labeling, Material Safety Data Sheets, or Pesticide Safety Informati. on Series
leaflets.
a. Hazards are the dangers associated with using poisonous materials. The more toxic the
pesticide you are w0r. king with, the higher the risk or the more HAZARDOUS it is for you to
use. Toxicity refers to how poisonous the pesticide is, it represents the killing power of the
material you are working with.
c. ACUTE exposure represents a single occurrence, or a one time large dose in which symptoms
of pesticide exposure can occur.
d. CHRONIC exposure represents several small doses accumulated in the body over a long
period of time.
e. On Pesticide Labels, MSDS, or Pesticide Safety Information Series leaflets, there may be
information related to identifying delayed effects and/or sensitivity issues that could be
experienced when using certain materials. Be sure to read the label to familiarize yourself with
these potential side effects.
3. There are four ways of entry for pesticides to enter the body.
a. Oral exposure is through the mouth.
b. Dermal exposure is through the skin.
c .Respiratory exposure occurs by breathing vapors or gasses into the lm~gs.
d. Oculatory exposure happens when pesticides are absorbed tl~ru the eyes.
4. Signs and symptoms of over exposure will vary with the type of material one 'is exposed to and
the degree of exposure to each material. Once again the Pesticide Label, MSDS, or Pesticide
Safety Information Series leaflets can give you the information that you need to help identif~
these symptoms. Here are some general guidelines to help you along...

ATL - Aquatic Testing Labora~es - Page 1 of 1
California: Title 22 CCR
This test is used to help determine whether or not a sample should be classified as a hazardous waste
under state of California criteria, (these criteria are codified in Chapter 30 of Title 22 of the California
Code of Regulations, Section 66696). In accordance to these regulations, the California Department of
Fish and Game has developed a Hazardous waste Testing procedural guidance document, (entitled:
"Static Acute _Bj_oassa_y Procedures for Hazardous Waste Samples"), that we follow when we conduct
this type of testing~I'his manual calls for a two-phase testing approach. Typically, the screen bioassay~is
_c_ogdugte~t, an4}h_e~n if needed followe~by, the definitive bioassay. Testing consists of mixing sub-
sa~m~les with St~ndard--~ze~~-wat~'~'~o p~-°-Oduc~s-~-~~entrati°ns. The screen test uses
two sample concentrations of 400 and 750 mg/1, which bracket the 500 mg/l state criterion, and is
conducted in duplicate. Ten fish are then added to each test tank and monitored for 96 hours. Water
quality parameters, such as dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature and mortalities are recorded daily.
The final fish survival rate is used to determine whether or not the sample passes state criteria for non-
hazardous waste, namely an LC50 greater than 500 mg/l (in other words, the concentration necessary to
kill half of the exposed fish must be greater than 500 mg/l). If the sample narrowly fails the screening
test, (40% or greater mortality in the 750 mg/1 concentration), a definitive test is recommended. The
definitive test uses five concentrations bracketing the 500 mg/l criteria with the resulting data analyzed
by computer to determine the LC50. Fathead minnows are typically used in this test, however, the
golden shiner minnow or juvenile rainbow trout may be used, depending on regional preference.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS: There is no specified holding time or temperature for samples under this
protocol. We prefer samples to be shipped cooled to 4°C. Approximately 100 grams of sample are
needed for testing, with 25 grams minimum for screen. Please notify laboratory in advance for rainbow
trout or golden shiner tests.

Industrial Waste Sampling Program
Sampling SOP
1. Container Control
Sample bottles are cleaned by the laboratory according to their quality assurance
protocols. Preservative may be added to the sample bottle by the laboratory depending
on the type of analysis to be performed.
Equipment, sampling containers, and automatic samplers are cleaned by the
pretreatment personnel according to the City's approved procedures and the procedures
outlined in the EPA's Industrial User Inspection and Sampling Manual for POTW's.
2. Grab Sampling
A grab sample is defined as "an individual sample collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes." A grab sample is collected when any of the following conditions
occur:
a) The set up of an automatic sampler is not feasible due to flow or site
arrangement.
b) The flow is of short duration. ~
c) The flow is not continuous (i.e., batch discharge).
d) Waste characteristics are relatively constant.
e) Analytical parameters require a grab sample
2.1 Obtaining a Grab Sample Manually ~
Sample Bottle with No Preservative
To obtain a manual grab sample you will need the appropriate sample bottle (label the
sample bottle prior to sampling) and a sampling pole, as needed. The sample bottle is
attached to the pole and lowered into the wastestream until the bottle is completely
filled.
Sample Container with Preservative
To obtain a manual grab sample you will need the appropriately preserved sample bottle
(label the sample bottle prior to sampling) and a sampling pole, as needed. Attach the
bottle to the sampling pole and lower it into the wastestream until the bottle is full.
Special care should be taken so that no preservative is lost. Should an inspector
suspect the loss of preservative while obtaining the sample, a note will be made on the
chain of custody (COC) and in the sampling notes. The laboratory should be instructed
to add additional preservative, if needed.
S:\C-pretreatment\SOPs\Sampling SOP.wpd March 13, 2002
1
Using a Container (Beaker) to Transfer Effluent to Sample Bottle or to Measure pH
The sampling container is attached to the pole and lowered into the wastestream where
it is first rinsed by the effluent. (This is known as "seeding."). Afterwards, fill the
container and transfer the liquid from the container into the sample bottle. Repeat the
transfer until the sample bottle is full.
2.2 Obtaining Grab Sample with Automatic Sampler
Other transfer devices can be used to obtain a grab sample when it cannot be obtained
with a sampling pole. The device must be properly cleaned according to test
specifications. The sample may be collected in a clean container or an appropriate
sample bottle.
Note: an Oil & Grease sample cannot be obtained through this method.
3. Composite Sampling
According to the EPA's Industrial User Inspection and Sampling Manual for PO TW's,
composite samples are those collected over a period greater than 15 minutes and are
formed by combining the appropriate number of discrete samples taken during the
sampling event. This type of sampling is used to determine the average pollutant
concentration of the sampling event.
The number and volume of the discrete samples can vary depending on the type of
compositing used and the length of the sampling event. For example, the length of the
sampling event is 24 hours if the facility discharges for 24 hours. If a facility is open 24
hours but discharges for only 6 hours, then a 6-hour composite sample is collected.
Composite sampling can be either time-proportional or flow-proportional.
3.1 Time-Proportional Composite Sampling
Samples are collected at equal time intervals. This method works well when the flow of
the sample stream is relatively constant (does not vary more than 10% of the average
flow rate over time)
3.2 Flow-Proportional Sampling
a) Discrete samples are collected at a constant interval and the volume collected is
proportional to the flow at the given moment of occurrence. The samples are
manually composited afterwards.
b) Samples are taken at a constant volume for each volume of wastestream flow
(e.g., 200 mL sample collected for every 5,000 gallons of flow) at a time interval
inverSely proportional to the wastestream flow.
S:\C-pretreatment\SOPs\Sampling SOP.wpd March 13, 2002

4. Automatic Sampler Set Up and Retrieval
4.1 Set Up
a) Test the automatic sampler and the batteries before going to the location of the
event.
b) Fill the ice chest(s) with ice.
c) Set up the sampler at the location. Observe all necessary traffic safety
precautions when setting up the sampler.
d) Check the sampler's parameters and verify the sample volume.
e) Pack the sampler with ice.
f) Check if the length of the sample draw tube is correct.
g) If necessary set the sampler on a cable support.
h) Lock the sampler before positioning the strainer and lowering the sampler.
i) Log the sampler number, the battery ID, the sample location, and the sampling
parameters set on the automatic sampler's program. Record any necessary
modifications.
j) Clean the area before leaving.
4.2 Retrieval
a) Retrieve the automatic sampler and log the sampler's end time and its
retrieval time.
b) If necessary, manually composite the samples.
c) Stir the composite jar with a stirring rod.
d) Decant the sample to the appropriate sample analysis containers. Verify the
label information, attach custody seals, and store them in an ice chest.
e) Using the remaining liquid in the composite jar, measure and record the pH and
the EC.
f) Note the sample description and the sample ID in the sampling notes and on the
COC.
g) Clean the area and put away the equipment.
h) Transport samples to a certified laboratory (sample storage and preservation
should follow the protocols set in 40 CFR Part 136).
S:\C-pretreatment\SOPs\Sarnpling SOP.wpd March 13, 2002

5. Sample Handling and Transport
Once a sample is collected, precautions must be taken to ensure sample validity and
security. Every sample collected, regardless of type, should be handled according to
the protocols set in 40 CFR Part 136.
Once a sample is collected, the following procedures should be used:
a) Sample container and sample blanks (if required) should be labeled with:
1. City of Bakersfield's established sample identification system.
2. Type of sample collected: Grab, Composite Sample, or Manual
Composite Sample (composite of grabs).
3. Date and time of sample collection.
4. Initials of the sampling personnel.
b) Place tamper-proof custody seals on the sample container's lid and overlap onto
the bottle. If required, the seal will be initialed by the inspector(s).
c) Immediately after, samples should be placed in the ice chest(s). The ice chest(s)
should have enough blue ice, crushed ice, or other coolants to maintain a
temperature of 4°C. The samples are to be transported to the laboratory as
soon as possible.
d) Field analyses (pH/EC) are to be recorded accurately and neatly in the
appropriate log book immediately after the sampling is completed. All entries
should indicate the time, the date, and the inspector(s) who conducted the
analysis.
Reminder: pH equipment must be calibrated immediately prior to analysis.
e) If an automatic sampler was used. Record the sampler's ID number and the
program.
f) Complete a chain of custody (COC) form. See an attached example.
g) Document any conversation with industry personnel that would be pertinent.
h) Document any unusual occurrences in the sampling notes.
i) Some sample bottles contain preservative. If the inspector suspects some or all
of the preservative was lost during sampling, the inspector should note this
suspicion on the COC and in the sampling notes, and inform the laboratory upon
delivery.
j) If a sample is obtained in an unpreserved bottle and the analysis/holding time
requires a preservative, the inspector will preserve the sample in ice and instruCt

keep all doors locked and may choose to tape shut the ice chest and initial the
seal in such a manner that tampering would be noted.
6. Transfer of Custody
After delivering the samples to the laboratory, samples are to be identified and
inventoried by the laboratory personnel. The chain of custody (COC) should be signed
by both the relinquishing and the receiving parties. Once this takes place, responsibility
of the samples is transferred to the laboratory.
The inspector should obtain a signed copy of the COC.

Industrial User Sampling Manual Chapter 3- Sampling Industrial Users
Cleaning Procedures for Oil and Grease:
The approved method of analysis for Oil and Grease is gravimetric extraction (Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Wastewater, 17th edition, 1989, method #5520B or Methods for Chemical
Analysis of Water and Wastes, 1983, method 0413.1). When sampling for oil and grease, it is necessary to
use a wide mouthed glass jar, which has been rinsed with the solvent used in the extraction process.
Currently, freon is used as the solvent in this process. A substitute for freon is currently being researched and
may result in an alternative analytical method. The cleaning method for oil and grease is the following:
detergent wash; (2) tap water rinses; and (3) s01~,ent rinse. It is recommended that the sample bottles have a
teflon-lined cap. If this is not possible, there should be either aluminum foil or cut teflon pieces.which cover
the areas where the bottle and the cap meet. The teflon or aluminum foil used must also be prepared,
following the same cleaning procedures as the sample bottle. '-
Cleaning Prccedures ~..for Organic Analysis:
Volatile Organic Compounds
Generally, the glassware used to collect volatile organic samples is precleaned. When glassware needs to
.be cleaned, the procedure in 40 CFR 136 may be followed. EPA method 624 states that the vials and the
septa must be cleaned as follows: (1) detergent wash; (2) tap water rinses; (3) distilled water rinses; and (4)
drying at 105°C.
~"Semi-volatile Compounds, Organochlorine Pesticides, and PCBs
Organic
Semi-volatile organic samples should be collected in amber bottles according to 40 CFR 136, Methods
625 and 1625. Organochlorine pesticides and PCB samples should also be collected in amber bottles .............
according to 40 CFR 136, Method 608. If amber bottles are not available, the samples must be sheltered '
from the light. The sample bottles (including cap liner, either teflon or foil) and the collection vessels for
semi-volatile organic compounds, organochlorine pesticides, and PCBs must be cleaned by the following
procedure: (1) detergent wash; (2) tap water rinses; O) distilled water rinses; (4) solvent rinse (method 625
lists acetone or methylene chloride); and (5) drying. If one or more of the samples'is being collected in a
sampling vessel, the sampling vessel must be cleaned for all parameters. Examples of this include:
· Sampling for conventional pollutant analysis and metals analysis: the collection vessel must be
detergent washed and then acid washed (following the steps for metals cleaning listed above).
· Sampling for metals analysis and semi-volatile organic analysis: the collection vessel must be acid
washed (following the steps above) and then solvent rinsed. The initial steps in the semi-volatile
organic cleaning do not need to be repeated in this case (only the solvent rinsing), since they were
already done in the metals cleaning procedure.

Example For example, .in the agricultural, plant category applicators should demonstrate
practical knowledge of drift problems and prevention. It would not be expected that
a seed treatment applicator would demonstrate practical knowledge in drift
problems and prevention. However, a seed treatment applicator would be expected
to know the types of equipment used for treating seed and precautions for

· 40.C.F.R. Part 171 -- Certificati{ fPesticide Applicators Page 3 of~ ' ~
pesticides, solutions, and gases, together with a knowledge of
which technique of application to use in a given situation;
(b) Relationship of discharge and placement of pesticides to proper
use, unnecessary use, and misuse; and
(c) Prevention of drift and pesticide loss into the environment.
(viii) Laws and regulations. Applicable State and Federal laws and regulations.
(c) Specific standards of competency for each category of commercial applicators. Some of the factors
referenced in paragraph (b) of this section are of particular importance because of the different types of
activities carded out by applicators in each category. Such factors must be especially stressed and
specifically reflected in State certification standards, as appropriate. For example, practical knowledge
of drift problems should be required of agricultural applicators but not of seed treatment applicators. The
latter, however, should be particularly knowledgeable of the hazards of the misuse of treated seed and
the necessary precautionary techniques. Many applicators in § 171.3(b) (8), (9), and (10) will have had
considerable formal education, training and experience in preparation for their positions. Their
competency with respect to the use and' handling of pesticides will have been determined by examining
boards of their professional scientific societies utilizing standards which equal or exceed those
prescribed herein. Such standards should be consulted by States in developing their State standards for
certification of such applicators under these regulations. Commercial applicators in each category shall
be particularly qualified with respect to the practical knowledge standards elaborated below:
(1) Agricultural pest control--
(i) Plant. Applicators must demonstrate practical knowledge of crops grown
and the specific pests of those crops on which they may be using restricted use · -.
pesticides. The importance of such competency is amplified by the extensive
areas involved, the quantities of pesticides needed, and the ultimate use of .~,.:...
many commodities as food and feed. Practical knowledge is required
concerning soil and water problems, pre-harvest intervals, re-entry intervals,
phytotoxicity, and potential for environmental contamination, non-target injury
and community problems resulting from the use of restricted use pesticides in
agricultural areas.
(ii) Animal. Applicators applying pesticides directly to animals must
demonstrate practical knowledge of such animals and their associated pests. A
practical knowledge is also required concerning specific pesticide toxicity and
residue potential, since host animals will frequently be used for food. Further,
the applicator must know the relative hazards associated with such factors as
formulation, application techniques, age of animals, stress and extent of
treatment.
(2) Forest pest control. Applicators shall demonstrate practical knowledge of types of
forests, forest nurseries, and seed production in their State and the pests involved. They
should possess practical knowledge of the cyclic occurrence of certain pests and specific
population dynamics as a basis for programming pesticide applications. A practical
knowledge is required of the relative biotic agents and their vulnerability to-the pesticides to
be applied. Because forest stands may be large and frequently include natural aquatic
http://www.pestlaw, com/x/cfr/part 171 .htm 3/7/2002
, .~.'~4(}. C.F.R. Part 171 -- Certifica~ of Pesticide Applicators Page 4 of 5
habitats and harbor wildlife, the consequences of pesticide use may be difficult to assess.
The applicator must therefore demonstrate practical knowledge of control methods which
will minimize the possibility of secondary problems such is unintended effects on wildlife.
Proper use of specialized equipment must be demonstrated, especially as it may relate to
meteorological factors and adjacent land use.
(3) Ornamental and turf pest control. Applicators shall demonstrate practical knowledge of
pesticide problems associated with the production and maintenance of ornamental trees,
shrubs, plantings, and turf, including cognizance of potential phytotoxicity due to a wide
variety of plant material, drift, and persistence beyond the intended period of pest control.
Because of the frequent proximity of human habitations to application activities, applicators
in this category must demonstrate practical knowledge of application methods which will
minimize or prevent hazards to humans, pets, and other domestic animals.
(4) Seed-treatment. Applicators shall demonstrate practical knowledge of types of seeds that
require chemical protection against pests and factors such as seed coloration, carriers, and
surface active agents which influence pesticide binding and may affect germination. They
must demonstrate practical knowledge of hazards associated with handling, sorting and
'mixing, and misuse of treated seed such as introduction of treated seed into food and feed · .....
channels, as well as proper disposal .of unused treated seeds.
(5) Aquatic pest control. Applicators shall demonstrate practical knowledge of the
secondary effects which can be caused by improper application rates, incorrect
formulations, and faulty application of restricted use pesticides used in this category. They
shall demonstrate practical knowledge of various water use situations and the potential of
downstream effects. Further, they must have practical knowledge concerning potential
pesticide effects on plants, fish, birds, beneficial insects and other organisms which may be
present in aquatic environments. These applicators shall demonstrate practical knowledgf.of~
the principles of limited area application.
(6) Right-of-way pest control. Applicators shall demonstrate practical knowledge of a wide
variety of environments, since rights-of-way can traverse many different terrains, including
waterways. They shall demonstrate practical knowledge of problems on runoff, drift, and
excessive foliage destruction and ability to recognize target organisms. They shall also
demonstrate practical knowledge of the nature of herbicides and the need for containment of
these pesticides within the right-of-way area, and the impact of their application activities in
the adjacent areas and communities.
(7) Industrial, institutional, structural and health related pest control. Applicators must
demonstrate a practical knowledge of a wide variety of pests, including their life cycles,
types of formulations appropriate for their control, and methods of application that avoid
contamination of food, damage and contamination of habitat, and exposure of people and
pets. Since human exposure, including babies, children, pregnant women, and elderly
people, is frequently a potential problem, applicators must demonstrate practical knowledge
of the specific factors which may lead to a hazardous condition, including continuous
exposure in the various situations encountered in this category. Because health related pest
control may involve outdoor applications, applicators must also demonstrate practical
knowledge of environmental conditions, particularly related to this activity.
(8) Public health pest control. Applicators shall demonstrate practical knowledge of vector-
disease transmission as it relates to and influences application programs. A wide variety of
http://www.pestlaw.com/x/cfr/part 171 .htm 3/7/2002
..' 40. C.F.R. Part 171 -- Certificatio~f Pesticide Applicators Page 5 offf
pests is involved, and it is essential that they be known and recognized, and appropriate life
cycles and habitats be understood as a basis for control strategy. These applicators shall
have practical knowledge of a great variety of environments ranging from streams to those
conditions found in buildings. They should also have practical knowledge of the importance
and employment of such non-chemical control methods as sanitation, waste disposal, and
drainage.
(9) Regulatory pest control. Applicators shall demonstrate practical knowledge of regulated
pests, applicable laws relating to quarantine and other regulation of pests, and the potential
impact on the environment of restricted use pesticides used in suppression and eradication
programs. They shall demonstrate knowledge of factors influencing introduction, spread,
and population dynamics of relevant pests. Their knowledge shall extend beyond that
requiredby their immediate duties, since their services are frequently required in.other areas
of the country where emergency measures are invoked to control regulated pests and where'
individual judgments must be made in new situations.
(10) Demonstration arid research pest control. Persons demonstrating the safe and effective
use of pesticides to other applicators and the public will be expected to meet comprehensive
standards reflecting a broad spectrum of pesticide uses. Many different pest problems
.... ' ' ' situations will be encountered in the course of activities associated with demonstration, and
practical knowledge of problems, pests, and population levels occurring in each
demonstration situation is required. Further, they should demonstrate an understanding of a
pesticide-organism interactions and the importance of integrating pesticide use with other
control methods. In general, it would be expected that applicators doing demonstration pest
control work possess a practical knowledge of all of the standards detailed in § 171.4(b). In
addition, they shall meet the specific standards required for paragraphs (c) (1) through (7) of
this section as may be applicable to their particular activity.
Persons conducting field research or method improvement work with restricted use pesticides shouid be
expected to know the general standards detailed in § 171.4(b). In addition, they shall be expected to
know the specific standards required for paragraphs (c) (1) through (9) of this section, applicable to their
particular activity, or alternatively, to meet the more inclusive requirements liSted under
"Demonstration."
(d) Special standards. This space reserved for possible issuance of Special Standards.
(e) The above standards do not apply to the following persons for purposes of these regulations.
(1) Persons conducting laboratory type research involving restricted use pesticides; and
(2) Doctors of Medicine and Doctors of Veterinary Medicine applying pesticides as drugs
or medication during the course of their normal practice.

Industrial Waste Sampling Program
Sampling SOP
1. Container Control
Sample bottles are cleaned by the laboratory according to their quality assurance
protocols. Preservative may be added to the sample bottle by the laboratory depending
on the type of analysis to be performed.
Equipment, sampling containers, and automatic samplers are cleaned by the
pretreatment personnel according to the City's approved procedures and the procedures
outlined in the EP^'s Industrial User Inspection and Sampling Manual for POTW's.
2. Grab Sampling
A grab sample is defined as "an individual sample collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes." A grab sample is collected when any of the following conditions
occur:
a) The set up of an automatic sampler is not feasible due to flow or site
arrangement.
b) The flow is of short duration.
c) The flow is not continuous (i.e., batch discharge).
d) Waste characteristics are relatively constant.
e) Analytical parameters require a grab sample
2.1 Obtaining a Grab Sample Manually
Sample Bottle with No Preservative
To obtain a manual grab sample you will need the appropriate sample bottle (label the
sample bottle prior to sampling) and a sampling pole, as needed. The sample bottle is
attached to the pole and lowered into the wastestream until the bottle is completely
filled.
Sample Container with Preservative
To obtain a manual grab sample you will need the appropriately preserved sample bottle
(label the sample bottle prior to sampling) and a sampling pole, as needed. Attach the
bottle to the sampling pole and lower it into the wastestream until the bottle is full.
Special care should be taken so that no preservative is lost. Should an inspector
suspect the loss of preservative while obtaining the sample, a note will be made on the
chain of custody (COC) and in the sampling notes. The laboratory should be instructed
S:~C-prel~eatment~SOPs~Sampling SOP.wpd I March 13, 2002
Howard Wines - Sampling SOP.wpd ~-
to add additional preservative, if needed.
SAC-pmlmatment~SOPs~Sampling SOP.wpd 2 March 13, 2002
I H0ward Wines - Sampling SOP.wpd -" ""- Page 31
Usinq a Container (Beaker) to Transfer Effluent to Sample Bottle or to Measure pH
The sampling container is attached to the pole and lowered into the wastestream where
it is first rinsed by the effluent. (This is known as "seeding."). Afterwards, fill the
container and transfer the liquid from the container into the sample bottle. Repeat the
transfer until the sample bottle is full
2.2 Obtaining Grab Sample with a Transfer Device
Other transfer devices can be used to obtain a grab sample when it cannot be obtained
with a sampling pole. The device must be properly cleaned according to test
specifications. The sample may be collected in a clean container or an appropriate
sample bottle.
Note: an Oil & Grease sample cannot be obtained throu.qh this method.
3. Composite Sampling
According to the EPA's Industrial User Inspection and Sampling Manual for POTW's,
composite samples are those collected over a period greater than 15 minutes and are
formed by combining the appropriate number of discrete samples taken during the
sampling event. This type of sampling is used to determine the average pollutant
concentration of the sampling event.
The number and volume of the discrete samples can vary depending on the type of
compositing used and the length of the sampling event. For example, the length of the
sampling event is 24 hours if the facility discharges for 24 hours. If a facility is open 24
hours but discharges for only 6 hours, then a 6-hour composite sample is collected.
Composite sampling can be either time-proportional or flow-proportional.
3.1 Time-Proportional Composite Sampling
Samples are collected at equal time intervals. This method works well when the flow of
the sample stream is relatively constant (does not vary more than 10% of the average
flow rate over time)
3.2 Flow-Proportional Sampling
a) Discrete samples are collected at a constant interval and the volume collected is
proportional to the flow at the given moment of occurrence. The samples are
manually composited afterwards.
b) Samples are taken at a constant volume for each volume of wastestream flow
(e.g., 200 mL sample collected for every 5,000 gallons of flow) at a time interval
inversely proportional to the wastestream flow.

Howard Wines - Sam Page 411
4. Automatic Sampler Set Up and Retrieval
4.1 Set Up
a) Test the automatic sampler and the batteries before going to the location of the
event.
b) Fill the ice chest(s) with ice.
c) Set up the sampler at the location. Observe all necessary traffic safety
precautions when setting up the sampler.
d) Check the sampler's parameters and verify the sample volume.
e) Pack the sampler with ice.
f) Check if the length of the sample draw tube is correct.
g) If necessary set the sampler on a cable support.
h) Lock the sampler before positioning the strainer and lowering the sampler.
i) Log the sampler number, the battery ID, the sample location, and the sampling
parameters set on the automatic sampler's program. Record any necessary
modifications.
j) Clean the area before leaving.
4.2 Retrieval
a) Retrieve the automatic sampler and log the sampler's end time and its
retrieval time.
b) If necessary, manually composite the samples.
c) Stir the composite jar with a stirring rod.
d) Decant the sample to the appropriate sample analysis containers. Verify the
label information, attach custody seals, and store them in an ice chest.
e) Using the remaining liquid in the composite jar, measure and record the pH and
the EC.
f) Note the sample description and the sample ID in the sampling notes and on the
COC.
g) Clean the area and put away the equipment.
h) Transport samples to a certified laboratory (sample storage and preservation
should follow the protocols set in 40 CFR Part 136).
S:\C-pret~eatment~SOPs\Sampling SOP.wpd 4 March 13, 2002
rHoward Wines - Sampling SOP.wpd '-"'- ~l
5. Sample Handling and Transport
Once a sample is collected, precautions must be taken to ensure sample validity and
security. Every sample collected, regardless of type, should be handled according to
the protocols set in 40 CFR Part 136.
Once a sample is collected, the following procedures should be used:
a) Sample container and sample blanks (if required) should be labeled with:
1. City of Bakersfield's established sample identification system.
2. Type of sample collected: Grab, Composite Sample, or Manual
Composite Sample (composite of grabs).
3. Date and time of sample collection.
4. Initials of the sampling personnel.
b) Place tamper-proof custody seals on the sample container's lid and overlap onto
the bottle. If required, the seal will be initialed by the inspector(s).
c) Immediately after, samples should be placed in the ice chest(s). The ice chest(s)
should have enough blue ice, crushed ice, or other coolants to maintain a
temperature of 4°C. The samples are to be transported to the laboratory as soon
as possible.
d) Field analyses (pH/EC) are to be recorded accurately and neatly in the
appropriate log book immediately after the sampling is completed. All entries
should indicate the time, the date, and the inspector(s) who conducted the
analysis.
Reminder: pH e(~uioment must be calibrated immediately prior to analysis.
e) If an automatic sampler was used. Record the sampler's ID number and the
program.
f) Complete a chain of custody (COC) form. See an attached example.
g) Document any conversation with industry personnel that would be pertinent.
h) Document any unusual occurrences in the sampling notes.
i) Some sample bottles contain preservative. If the inspector suspects some or all
of the preservative was lost during sampling, the inspector should note this
suspicion on the COC and in the sampling notes, and inform the laboratory upon
delivery.
S:\C-p~etreatment~SOPs~Sampling SOP.wpd 5 March 13, 2002
Howard Wines - Sampling SOP.wpd '"'- Page 6 I1
j) If a sample is obtained in an unpreserved bottle and the analysis/holding time
requires a preservative, the inspector will preserve the sample in ice and instruct
the laboratory to add the necessary preservative upon receipt. The inspector
should note this information on the COC and in the sampling notes.
k) All precautions will be taken to insure the samples are secure. Inspectors will
keep all doors locked and may choose to tape shut the ice chest and initial the
seal in such a manner that tampering would be noted.
6. Transfer of Custody
After delivering the samples to the laboratory, samples are to be identified and
inventoried by the laboratory personnel. The chain of custody (CO(::) should be signed
by both the relinquishing and the receiving parties. Once this takes place, responsibility
of the samples is transferred to the laboratory.
The inspector should obtain a signed copy of the COC.

' Eye Contact: Where eye contact is likely, use chemical splash goggles. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should'
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
Skin Contact: Where contact is likely, wear chemical-resistant (such as nitrile or butyl) gloves, coveralls, socks and.
chemical-resistant footwear. For overhead exposure, wear chemical-resistant headgear.
Stringent housekeeping measures are necessary to prevent translocation of the material from contaminated
work surfaces to uncontaminated surfaces (railings, doors, etc.). Unprotected contact with such
translocated material can result in paresthesia effects (see Section 11).
Inhalation: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels
below exposure limits. A NiOSH-certified combination air-purifying respirator with an N, P or R 95 or HE
class filter and an organic vapor cartridge may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne
concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air-purifying respirators is
limited. Use a pressure demand atmosphere-supplying respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled
..~ release, exposure levels are not known, or under any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators
may not provide adequate protection.

Other Toxicity Information
In humans, contact with exposed skin may result in temporary itching, tingling, burning or numbness, called paresthesia.
The effect may result from splash, aerosol, or hot vapor contact, or transfer to the face from contaminated gloves and
hands. The symptoms normally disappear within 24 hours. Face and genital areas are especially susceptible to this effect.
Paresthesia involving the face is also known as "subjective facial sensation" or SFS.
Toxicity of Other Components
Petroleum Solvent
Supplier states that inhalation of vapors at high concentrations can cause central nervous system effects '
(dizziness, headache), irritation to eyes or respiratory tract. Skin exposure can cause defatting with resulting
dermatitis. Damage to the stomach, liver, thyroid, and urinary bladder for high oral doses in rats, however, the
manufacturer states that these effects are not relevent to humans at occupational levels of exposure.
Titanium Dioxide
Titanium dioxide is listed as an IARC (Group 3) carcinogen not classifiable as human carcinogen (No Data
Available) with limited animal evidence. Prolonged exposure causes respiratory irritation and may lead to
pulmonary fibrosis.

i
On February 22, 1990, the Kern County Agricultural Commissioner's Office received an anonymous
letter and diagram. The complaint is apparently from an ex-employee of Clark Pest Control.
(See enclosed letter and diagram.)
The complainant states that the owners of Clark Pest Control knowingly instructed their
employees to put old rat bait down the sink. The complaint al~-o-states that on
afternoons employees are told to rinse out their sprayers and pour the rinseate down the sink
at the rear of the company's building.
I met with Jim Clark Jr. and Pat Clark on March 30th, owners of Clark Pest Control. I gave
the Clark's copies of the documents and asked them for comments. Both Jim and Pat stated that
they do not request their employees to put pesticides down the sink and they would not allow
'it if they knew about it. They stat~-~h~'-t~h-6--~-~
then visually examined the sink that drains into the floor drain and the floor drain itself.
I did not observe any sign of pes{~l~'-T6-e~F~-t-h-~-se areas.
No further action will be taken.
