FLOOR MANAGEMENT PLAN ANNUAL TRAINING

The Metal Finishing Associations of Southern California and Northern California in concert with the DTSC and CUPA has prepared a Floor Management Guidance Document to comply with federal, state and local agency environmental regulations. The areas of concern dealt with by this Guidance Document are the floors wherever Hazardous Materials and Waste are used or stored.

Why a Floor Management Plan?? Without one you could be fined up to $37,500 a day by your CUPA for any liquid found in your secondary containment system or shop floor.
What does it do?
1. Assure environmental compliance in a timely manner. 2. Establish daily operational standards for maintaining the cleanliness of process floors in the company’s metal finishing process and storage areas. 3. Provide an organized procedure for evaluation, cleaning, and maintaining the company’s process and storage floors. 4. Implement selected best management practices to accomplish the company’s environmental goals. 5. Provide a work environment that protects worker health and safety. 6. Prevent a release of hazardous materials to the environment by reducing and/or eliminating spills in all process and storage areas. 7. Protect the company’s facilities from contamination or deterioration.

SB 14

HAZARDOUS WASTE SOURCE REDUCTION

& MANAGEMENT REVIEW ACT

Ask yourself the following questions, for the year 2018, to determine if SB14 applies to your shop:
Are total manifested hazardous waste quantities greater than 26,400 pounds?
Are total manifested extremely hazardous quantities waste greater than 24.6 pounds?
Did you pre-treat more than 3,100 gallons of hazardous aqueous wastes on-site under tiered permit authorization prior to discharge?

If you answered YES to any of the above, then your company is subject to the SB14 requirements.

A generator subject to SB14 must prepare a:
1. Source Reduction Evaluation Review and Plan for the next four years. 2. Hazardous Waste Management Performance Report (comparing the promises made in 2018 to what was achieved in 2022.) 3. Summary Progress Report to be completed by 9/1/2023. 4. If you treat cyanide, a justification and evaluation is required to be submitted as part of the SB14 report. All of this is to be done on or before September 1, 2023.
