Document Description
The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), pursuant to authority granted under California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 22, Division 4.5, Chapter 20, Sec. 66270.61, has issued an Emergency Permit to Kindeva Drug Delivery, (EPA ID# CAR000307983) to treat hazardous waste through a controlled reaction with chemical solutions. Specifically, fourteen (14) 1-liter containers of Tetrahydrofuran; two (2) 100-milliliter containers of Ethyl Ether; two (2) 100-milliliter containers of 1,4 Dioxane; and one (1) 100-milliliter container of Acetaldehyde must be stabilized prior to transport to an authorized hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility.
These chemicals are currently being stored at Kindeva Drug Delivery located at 19901 Nordhoff Street, Northridge, California 91324. DTSC has determined as a safety precaution to prevent an accident or severe injury, an Emergency Permit should be issued for Clean Harbors Environmental Services (Clean Harbors) to chemically stabilize the hazardous waste prior to storage and eventual transportation off-site.
Background: The containers have peroxide formation present on either the inside, outside, or the bottom of the chemicals’ containers, as well as the thread container caps. The presence of peroxide formation may be unstable at relatively low concentrations, resulting in fire and/or explosion if improperly handled. Due to the presence of peroxide formation, DTSC considers these chemicals to be an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health and the environment. Chemical stabilization is recommended prior to transport to a permitted treatment, storage, and disposal facility. Project Activities: The treatment of these hazardous wastes involves the addition of a solution to the containers in a controlled manner to reduce the reactive or ignitable characteristics of the chemicals. Treatment will take place within a designated exclusion zone. Only technicians from Clean Harbors will be allowed in the exclusion zone. Movement, preparation, and treatment of the containers will be in accordance with established standards.
