Management of Used Oil 577
A.19.1 APPENDIX: SCENARIOS
This chapter includes several situations that are intended to apply the regulatory foundation pro-
vided in previous chapters. All situations are based on actual events and inspections experienced by
hazardous waste regulatory personnel. Names of companies and individuals have been changed.
After reading each scenario, discuss what, if any, violations may have occurred. How may these
violations be best addressed (i.e., via changes in engineering design, a modified storage or disposal
program, some use of common sense, etc.)? These are open-ended situations.
1. What is wrong with this picture (Figure A. 19.1)?
2. At a wire-coating facility, an employee alleges that F002 solvent was mixed with used oil
and the mixture was stored in the facility basement. An inspector found the drums in ques-
tion to be leaking (Figure A. 19.2), and cracks were apparent in the floor and along the walls.
