Section 118290 of the Act (California Health and Safety Code) reads: "Any small quantity generator who has properly containerized the medical waste according to the requirements of this article may store the waste in a pennitted common storage facility." It is therefore not necessary to segregate the two types of wastes as was indicated on the Fire Department inspection form. It is necessary, however, as additionally noted, to properly label the common storage area that hazardous wastes (not just medical wastes), specifically flammable wastes, are stored within. If you have any questions, please give me a call at 326-3979. Sincerely, ~4-fU~~ Howard H.

This inspection verifies the infonnation provided on fonn DTSC 1772. It also covers generator requirements, although a separate checklist may be used for those requirements. A checkmark indicates violation of the law, which are explained in more detail on the attached note sheets. The governing laws are the Health and Safety Code (HSC) and Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations (22 CCR). Generator Standards: Each inspection agency may use their own generator inspection checklist or protocols, which are summarized below. A full evaluation of each item or document is not conducted during the Verification Inspection, unless serious deficiencies are suspected.

The submitted plot plan/map adequately shows the location of all regulated units. There are records documenting compliance with sewer agency pretreatment standards and industrial waste discharge requirements, where applicable.

Your notifications are administratively complete, but have not been reviewed for technical adequacy. A technical review of your notifications will be conducted when an inspection is performed. At any time, you may be inspected and will be subject to penalty if violations of laws or regulations are found. The Department acknowledges receipt of your completed notification for the treatment unit(s) listed on the last pa,ge of this letter. These units operating under Conditional Authorization or Conditional Exemption are authorized by Qùifomia law without additional Department action, pursuant to Health and Safety Code sections 25200.3 and 25201.5. Yo:>ur authorization to operate continues until you notify DTSC that you have stopped treating waste and have fully closed the unit(s).

BOX 119 BAKERSFIELD, CA BAKERSFIELD EPA ID: CAD981400237 93302 Dear Permit by Rule Facility: The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has received your Fixed Treatment Unit Permit by Rule Initial Notification of Intent to Operate (DTSC Form 8462). This letter only acknowledges receipt of that notification, and does not authorize operation of any treatment activity at your facility. -' Enclosed are DTSC Forms 8462A (Fixed Treatment Unit (FTU) Permit by Rule Facility-Specific Notification) and 8462B (FTU Permit by Rule Unit-Specific Notification). If you are currently operating your fixed treatment unit, you must submit the completed Forms 8462A and 8~i62B for your facility by April 1, 1992, including all required at:tachments. You must include a completed Form 8462B for each unit at your facility. We have also enclosed a copy of the Disclosure Statement, form DTSC 84:30, the Certification of Financial Responsibility for PBR Operation, DTSC 8113, and a package· of other Financial Responsibility forms from which you can select the proper forms for one or more of the acceptable financial mechanisms. An order form for PBR documents (1002) is attached with a map of our regional offices printed on the back. If you need additional forms, they may be obtained from the nearest regional office of the DTSC, or by contacting this office. California law requires that the enclosed forms be certified (signed) by an authorized corporate officer or any other person in a company who performs decision making functions that govern operation of the facility. (See Title 22, California Code of Regulations, Section 67450.2 subds. (a)(2) and (b)(3) and Section 66270.11.) Our staff must rely upon job titles to judge if the signer has decision making authority for your facility. For instance, a vice president or general manager would clearly be authorized to certify (sign) while an environmental manager or safety officer would not. If the forms are improperly signed the notification will be rejected and returned to you and you will have to resubmit the entire notification package. o e e· PagE! 2 EPA ID: CAD981400237 Since this is your initial notification for operation under a Permit by Rule for your facility, you will be billed by the Board of Equalization for the fee specified in Section 25205.7(h) of Chapter 6.5, Division 20, of the California Health and Safety Code. The fee il:;$l,109 this year and will be adjusted annually for inflation on July 1st. That fee will also cover your first Facility-Specific and Unit-Specific notifications, mentioned above. Additional fees will bE! due for the annual notifications you must submit in future years. Ycm are also required to amend these notifications whenever any information changes. You will be charged one-half of the annual fee (~;555 this year) for each amended notification which you submit. HSLzardous waste laws and regulations are detailed and complex. At any time, you may be inspected by the DTSC or your local county hE!alth department. Violations of laws or regulations which are found may make you liable for criminal, civil or administrative penalties, as provided by law. If you have questions on completing the required forms, or have questions on operating requirements for your operation, please contact the nearest DTSC regional office, or this office at the lE~tterhead address or phone number.
