EVALUATION OF HAZARDS (a) Degree of Hazard. The degree of hazard present depends upon many vari- ables which should be considered individually and in combination. Some of the variables are: 1. Chemical properties of the material. Chemical properties of the material determine self-reactions and reactions which may occur with other materials. Generally, materials within subdivisions of hazard categories will exhibit similar chemical properties. However, materials with similar chemical properties may present very different hazards. Each individual material should be researched to determine its hazardous properties and then considered in relation to other materi- als that it might contact and the surrounding environment. 2. Physical properties of the material. Physical properties, such as whether a material is a solid, liquid or gas at ordinary temperatures and pressures, consid- ered along with chemical properties will determine requirements for containment of the material. Specific gravity (weight of a liquid compared to water) and vapor density (weight of a gas compared to air) are both physical properties which are important in evaluating the hazards of a material. 3. Amount and concentration of the material; The amount of material pres- ent and its concentration must be considered along with physical and chemical properties to determine the magnitude of the hazard. Hydrogen peroxide, for ex- ample, is used as an antiseptic and a hair bleach in low concentrations (approxi- mately 8 percent, in water solution). Over 8 percent, hydrogen perox!de, is classed as an oxidizer and is toxic. Above 90 percent, it is a Class 4 oxidizer "that can un- dergo an explosive reaction when catalyzed or exposed to heat, shock or friction." a definition which incidentally also places hydrogen peroxide over 90 percent con- centration in the unstable (reactive) category. Small amounts at high concentra- tions may present a greater hazard than large amounts at low concentrations. APPENDIX VI-A ' 1991 UNIFORM FIRE CODE Blood or hematopoistm system toxins (chemicals which decrease hemoglo- bin function, deprive the body tissues of oxygen): carbon monoxide and cya- nides. Pulmonary damage agents (chemicals which irritate or damage the lungs): silica and asbestos. Reproductive toxins (chemicals which affect the reproductive capabilities, including chromosomal damage [mutations] and effects on fetuses [tersio- genesis]): lead and DBCR Cutaneous hazards (chemicals which affect the dermal layer [skin]): ke- tones and chlorinated compounds. Eye hazards (chemicals which affect the eye or visual capacity): organic sol- vents and acids. C. Irritants.

It is my understanding that you have been notified by Ms. Barbara Brenner, Hazardous Materials Planning Technician, of the following~violations: 1. Violation of section 25509(a)(1-4) of the California Health and Safety Code (incomplete hazardous materials inventory); 2. Violation of section 25505 o~ the California Health and Safety Code (inaccurate hazardous materials business plan); and 3. Violation-of section 25533 of the California Health and Safety Code .(Acutely Hazardous Materials Registration Form not completed for certain products). Mr. Paul Conley Re: Violations of Hazardous Materials Regulations April 13, 1992 The specific remedial action necessary to correct the above violations has been detailed to you in correspondence by Ms. Brenner dated April 8, 1992. The purpose of this letter is to further impress upon you the need to take immediate remedial action. With that goal in mind, I must inform you that failure to correct these violations on or before May 8, 1992, may necessitate legal action, including but not limited to, misdemeanor citations and/or injunction relief.

At that time I provided you with sections out of the Uniform Fire Code which specify amounts and manner of storage and dispensing for flammable' combustible liquids. These sections show that for a miscellaneous industrial building the storage (not dispensing) of flammable and combustible liquids arc as follows: 60 gallon of Class lA 120 gallon of Class lB 180 gallon of Class lC 240 gallon of Class II 660 gallon of Class III or 240 gallon in any combination of Class I & II liquids subject to the limitations of the individual class. Also, if any of these liquids are water mi~'cible, the quantity for that particular liquid may be doubled. Dispensing of flammable/combustible liquids shall be done outdoors or within a room designed, as an H-2 room. Dispensing outdoors shall be located on an area surrounded by.a minimtim 6" curb, disp~}sing shall be minimum 15 feet from any building, any combustible storage, or any storage of Class I, II, or III liquids and at least 25 feet from any opening in a building, any property line, or any street alley or public way. See the section I provided you on Use, Dispensing and Mixing for requirements on grounding, bonding, warning signs, etc. Sub,nit phms on this area for review. In our meeting you stated that compliance with the fire code would be accomplished by reducing amounts to within those allowed. We can allow you 3 months to comply, this time in addition to the allowance time previously given you in 1990 is more than adequate. ......................................................................

Bureau of Fire Prevention 5642 Victor Street Bakersfield, CA 93308 David: Enclosed is a copy of the hazardous materials business plan for C & L Coatings. I have marked the changes which resulted from my latest review of their inventory and MSDS. Since you will be reviewing the MSDS, I have not noted the flash point data at this time. I have also attached a copy of my most recent correspondence with Mr. Conley which lists the materials which I know must be added to the inventory and those which are acutely hazardous and must be registered. I agree with your position that the unacceptable interior storage of flammable & combustible liquids has continued long enough at this location. It appears that the creation of exterior storage and dispensing areas will alleviate this condition. Be aware that C & L is currently using the warehouse storage area for mixing & dispensing flammable and combustible liquids. For instance, isopropyl alcohol is used as a defoamer in the formulation of their Zollerguard product line which they mix in the warehouse area. I have made referrals regarding this location to both Kern County 'Environmental Health and City of Bakersfield Wastewater Treatment regarding questionable hazardous waste disposal methods. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance regardifig enforcement of UFC Article 79 at C & L. I will send you the updated business plan information when we receive it.

Columbus St. Bakersfield, CA 93301 Mr. Conley: I spoke with Jeff Mosley on the phone today regarding the MSDS sheets which we need in order to determine flammability classifications of the materials stored in your facility. The information which Mr. Mosley remembers delivering to my office was the updated hazardous materials business plan and the inventory additions. We did receive this information. The attached copy of your updated plan reflects these recent changes. As I discussed with Mr. Mosley, you still must pull the MSDS sheets for each of the products listed on the updated hazardous materials inventory so that I can review the hazard classifications. Include the MSDS sheets for the raw materials which are used to formulate the Zollerguard products. It will not be necessary to photocopy these MSDS for my use. I will come to your facility and review them onsite. Because the issues relating to the proper storage of flammable liquids at C & L have gone unresolved for so long, I must require that the MSDS be ready for review no later than August 9, 1991. Please call me at 326-3979 to schedule an appointment for this inventory review. I have some additional information regarding alternatives for disposal of waste and leftover products from specialty jobs. The California Waste Exchange (CWE) publishes a directory of industrial recyclers which includes several firms who recycle surplus epoxies, catalysts, resins and a variety of other hazardous materials.
