When I worked for another company, a large company with multiple facilities, I got a call from a manager of another location. He wanted to know what he should do with all these barrels of hazardous waste. LOL I asked him why did not address the issue as each barrel was full (keeping the place as a low-level HAZMAT producer which is easier to deal with v. having a zillion barrels and being deemed a large-level HAZMAT producer which is a nightmare). He said he had no idea, was recently hired. I told him he's in destination F ... and that he should get ready to bend over. The company was fined and learned a lession...my facility was OK, whenever a barrel got full, I dealt with it immediately to keep out place as a low-level HAZMAT producer. Both mine and the other facility produced equal amts of waste. Dealing with HAZMAT waste was just a perk at that job in addition to other minor things associated with the business.nut wrote: ↑Tue.

They caught up to him on the run and put him in jail. Another's gas station tanks were getting water in them. He would put the contaminated gas in barrels and take it for a ride. Another guy was putting barrels of chemicals in his unlined landfill in the middle of the night. It happens. I worry about legal chemicals in our food chain. Things like Round Up. It's in all of us now.
Using oil transformer oil, full of nasty stuff, was not too smart. With water in gas, one simply pumps out the water from the bottom of the tank..one should not get more than a quart of gas from such a procedure. water and gas don't mix and the tanks are designed to have the water collect at the bottom where one can put a tube down to pump out the water.
