Today at work I volunteered to help out with a project, but got massively sidetracked by a 3 hour long power blackout when the storms hit Los Angeles today. Basically our company has been cited by the city of Vernon for poor used motor oil runoff control. So any ATOTer with insights into this area would be greatly appreciated.

This is only a partial list, as the storms knocked the power out while I was discussing it, and I was called away to unsuccessfully help my boss get the power back up.



Any info on
Used motor oil and used battery storage, maintanance, and removal processes at your work

name of Oil absorbant powder or material that you use at your business
(I can't remember the name of the stuff we used in high school auto shop, but I'm sure its something similar)

Enviro friendly industrial cleaning chemicals you use
wheter for oil or general cleaning was not specified.

The EPA web address has oil and hazardous materials in the same address
http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/ha...te/usedoil/usedoil.htm

but I can't find an EPA hazardous waste # for oil

I haven't seen the off site location yet, but from what I hear there is a problem there we need to address. But I also hear the inspectors are being jerks, which is fine since we do have a problem that needs to be addressed; but are also somewhat unreasonable in telling us to go look up this odd range of information from bio friendly cleaning agents on on hand, to EPA HazMat codes and LA county section codes regarding used oil, when they have all that information already.

Oil can be stored in portable containers for recycling. Contract with someone like Evergreen to come out and pick it up. You'll get recycle credits.
Used batteries should be stored on secondary containment pallets/containers.
