Background The HMD conducts routine inspections of permitted facilities under the authority of the California Health and Safety Code, or H&SC, to determine compliance with applicable provisions of the H&SC, the California Code of Regulations, or CCR, and the San Diego County Code of Regulatory Ordinances, or SDCC. On Nov. 30, 2021, HMD staff arrived at the STC to inspect the facility with emphasis on shooting range maintenance operations and related activities generating hazardous waste. Upon completion of the on-site inspection, HMD inspectors informed city staff of two violations. A final inspection report was provided to the STC Manager on Dec. 30, 2021. Discussion On Nov. 30, 2021, staff provided the HMD inspectors a facility tour and overview of operations, shooting range maintenance and cleaning activities, and access to all records, waste storage areas and waste treatment systems. All permitting requirements were current. This was the fourth inspection of the STC since the facility opened in 2012. The last two inspections occurred in August 2016 and September 2018, with no reportable violations or corrective actions. Training activities have increased at the STC; however, the maintenance and hazardous waste handling activities have remained the same since the last inspection in 2018. Violation # 1: Inspectors observed wastewater sludge generated from the facility wet-cleaning operations accumulating on site in a 55-gallon pre-treatment drum requiring disposal within the hazardous waste accumulation time limits of 12 months. Public Works Branch Fleet and Facilities Department 405 Oak Avenue I Carlsbad, CA 92008 I 760-434-2980 t Council Memo -County of San Diego Compliance Inspection Report on the STC (District 2) Jan. 13, 2022 Page 2 Action/Response: Staff has requested additional guidance from the HMD as there is a discrepancy in the interpretation of the wastewater treatment process used at the STC. The current process is permitted through the Encina Wastewater Authority, or EWA. The HMD interprets the treatment process as a satellite hazardous waste storage area. In the interim, staff will coordinate with US Ecology and Veolia to determine the best method to transport the wastewater sludge off-site for proper disposal. Staff will continue to work with the HMD to determine how the treatment areas will be reported in the future and documented in the California Environmental Reporting System, or CERS. Violation # 2: Inspectors observed heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or HVAC, filters and other lead- contaminated debris stored behind the 25-yard range backstop area with containers that did not have hazardous waste labels. While hazardous waste labels were placed on the stalls above the storage area, each individual container or box did not bear these individual labels. Action/Response: The backstop area is a controlled access area and is clearly marked as a lead-contaminated hazardous waste storage location for the STC. Staff designed and printed specific labels that were placed on secondary containers containing lead-contaminated debris to meet the labeling requirements outlined in the final inspection report. Action has been completed. Next Steps Staff will prepare a written response within 30 days of the report, as required by the HMD. Staff will provide another Council Memorandum after all actions have been completed. Attachment: A.

Present from the Hazardous Materials Division (HMD) were Alaaeddine Zahra, EHSIII and Mirna Shaker, EHSII. On-site facility representatives that assisted with the inspection were: -Jason Kennedy, Facility Manager -Jayce Galeazzi, Project Manager -Jose Estrada, Facility Attendant Consent for the inspection and to take photos was granted by Jason Kennedy. This is a training facility for City of Carlsbad Police and Fire Department personnel and other public agencies, the facility operates a shooting range on site. The scope of the inspection covered the Hazardous Materials Business Plan, the Hazardous Waste Generator program (including tiered permitting) and the Medical Waste Management Act program requirements. Based on documents reviewed and statements by Jason Kennedy, the facility appears to be a Large Quantity Generator (LQG) of RCRA hazardous waste ( .'.'.'.....1,000 kg of non-acute RCRA hazardous waste in a single month). A summary of violations was issued on the day of inspection and the full report was issued on 12/13/2021. The facility generates the following hazardous waste streams: 1-Dry cleaning of the range via a HEPA vacuum generates gun powder/metal fines managed as hazardous waste. 2-Wet cleaning of the range floor via "zamboni" accumulates gun powder/shooting range dust contaminated wastewater (treated on site via a Conditionally Authorized tiered permitted filtration system). 3-Maintenance of the backstop (about once every 6 months), larger bullet fragments are recycled and fined ust is managed as hazardous waste. 4-Maintenance of the facility HVAC system, generates pre-filters, mid-filters, and HEPA filters, all managed as hazardous waste. 5-Other range generated lead contaminated debris, such as waste sticky mats and rubber blocks with lead shot. 6-Spent/empty shotgun shells. 7-Spent filters used for filtering and reusing of ultrasonic cleaner liquid. The facility operates multiple ultrasonic cleaners where HM-924(01/15) COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO SUPPLEMENTAL COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT INSPECTION DATE: 11/30/2021 PAGE 2 OF 10 - -RECORD ID#: DEH2014-HUPFP-000889 firearms are cleaned. The solution inside the ultrasonic cleaners use a water based cleaner. Per Jason Kennedy, the spent cleaning solution is not disposed but is replenished and is filtered for lead. The filters contaminated with lead are disposed as hazardous waste. Per Jason Kennedy, after the ultrasonic cleaner is used, the firearms are then cleaned further with microfiber towels. Using generator knowledge, the facility has determined the waste towels to be nonhazardous and are managed through a laundry cleaning service. 8-Spent filters from CA wastewater treatment system. 9-Sludge accumulating at the bottom of the drum used to accumulate pre-treatment wastewater. The facility cleans the range as following: 1-Larger bullet casings are collected. 2-Range floor is dry cleaned via HEPA vacuum. 3-Range floor is wet cleaned via zamboni This facility has the following BMPs in place to minimize releases of hazardous waste from the range to the environment: -HVAC with a three stage filtration sytem: Each gun range operates an HVAC system that pushes air away from the shooters towards the backstop area where air is filtered through the three stage filtration system before being exhausted outside the facility through roof exhausts. The filtration system is monitored for use via a gauge and replaced routinely as needed. -Facility takes routine wipe samples from the roof where the filtration system exhausts to ensure that the filtration system is operating properly. -Routine maintenance of the backstop media to minimize excessive contamination of the backstop (vendor is Action Target). -Sticky mats that are replaced routinely are used to minimize tracking of lead dust by range users. -Maintaining the range under negative pressure and re-balancing of the ventilation system when necessary to ensure negative pressure is maintained. Range Floor Debris & Gun Powder: -Per Jason Kennedy, the range floor collected debris contains enough gun powder to make the waste stream ignitable which is why the vacuum waste is managed as ignitable hazardous waste . -Zamboni generated wastewater contains gun powder and toxic metals from shooting range operations, this wastewater is accumulated in a 55-gallon drum pre-treatment, the facility has determined that sludge accumulating at the bottom of the drum may become ignitable if dried up and therefore when ready to be disposed (after cleaning of the drum) will be managed under an ignitable waste stream to ensure safe hauling/disposal. Conditionally Authorized Hazardous Waste Treatment System: The facility operates a conditionally authorized (CA) treatment unit consisting of a drum and a filtration system made of 4 different sized particulate filters. The wastewater collected from wet floor cleaning via the facility "Zamboni" (cleaning equipment) is first accumulated in a 55- gallon drum then pumped to the filtration system. Effluent from the filtration system is drained to sewer and spent filters are managed as hazardous waste. The facility collected samples from the treated effluent (before draining to sewer) and based on sample analysis deemed the effluent non-hazardous and within acceptable discharge limits for local industrial wastewater control program. Sludge Accumulation in Pre-treatment Hazardous Waste Drum: Over time, sludge begins accumulating in the bottom of the the 55-gallon drum (pre-treatment container), per Jason Kennedy, the sludge contains gunpowder and other fines and should be managed as ignitable hazardous waste when disposed because if the sludge was to dry during transport it may become ignitable. When I asked Jason Kennedy why would the sludge be ignitable Jason Kennedy stated that when the Zamboni is used to clean the range some trace sludge remains on the equipment, and when the sludge dries up it turns into a powder-like substance which ignites easily if a flame is introduced to the mixture. HM-924(01/15) COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO SUPPLEMENTAL COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT INSPECTION DATE: 11/30/2021 PAGE 3 OF 10 --RECORD ID#: DEH2014-HUPFP-000889 Ammo Sent to Camp Pendleton: -Per Jason Kennedy, ammunition received from the sheriffs department (i.e. surrendered ammo) is taken to Base Range at Camp Pendleton and is either used or blown up for training purposes. Please note that the facility is responsible to make a proper waste determination at the point of generation of the waste. If the waste is determined to be a hazardous waste, it must be properly managed and hauled off as a hazardous waste. Be advised, per 22 CCR§ 66261.2 (d)(l), a material is a waste if it is being recycled through being used in a manner constituting disposal. Commercial chemical materials listed in section 66261.33, which are discarded commercial chemical products, off- specification species, and which are applied to the land and application to the land is their ordinary manner of use are non-RCRA hazardous wastes. Other Notes: Per Jason Kennedy, air monitoring was conducted on staff performing routine cleaning of the range. Per Jason Kennedy, only he and Jose Estrada have access to the hazardous waste storage area and this area is inspected daily. Ensure HW accumulation areas are inspected at least on a weekly basis. VIOLATION# 1 3030057 Failed to comply with hazardous waste satellite container regulation. 22 CCR 66262.34(e) Classification: Class II Observations: Observed wastewater sludge generated from the facility wet-cleaning operations accumulating on site in the 55-gallon pretreatment drum, staff stated the drum is a satellite container for storage of pre-treatment hazardous waste. Per Jason Kennedy, the sludge has been accumulating for over 12 months. Accumulation time limit for pre-treatment waste: Be advised that hazardous waste accumulating in the pre-treatment drum must meet hazardous waste accumulation time limits for the facility (90 days for LQG's, or 12-months total on site for satellite accumulation) including any sludge accumulating in the pre-treatment drum. You may contact your hazardous waste hauler to determine if sludge accumulating in the bottom of the pre-treament drum can be mixed and disposed with other waste streams on site under the same manifest line item. Corrective Action Due By:01/31/2022 As soon as possible but within 30 days: 1-Ensure that the hazardous waste sludge accumulating at the bottom of the pre-treatment drum is disposed via a hazardous waste hauler. Submit manifests showing the dispsoal. 2-Conduct a review of the satellite accumulation requirements and submit a statement indicating whether the pretreatment · drum will be handled as a satellite container in the future if so, ensure satellite requirements are being met (i.e. labeling).
