Mr. J.B. Coomes, Owner, And Mr. Kenny Deford, Facility Employee, Were Both Present Throughout The Inspection. A Follow-Up Visit Was Made To The Facility On May 08, 2009. Coomes Sells Product Oil, Gas, Diesel, Mineral Spirits, Toluene, And Kerosene To Customers From Various Industries In Northeast Florida. According To Mr. Coomes, The Facility Also Collects And Transports Used Oil And Used Oil Filters From Some Of Its Customers And Accepts Used Oil And Used Oil Filters From The Nearby Community. The Facility Is Currently Operating As A Used Oil Transporter/Transfer Facility, A Used Oil Filter Transporter/Transfer Facility, And A Public Used Oil Collection Center. The Facility Operates Ten Tanker Trucks And One Box Truck. Coomes Employs Seven People And Has Been In Operation For Approximately 30 Years. The Facility Consists Of A Used Oil Storage Area, Product Pumping Station, Product Tanks, And A Warehouse With Offices. | Used Oil Storage Area: ________________________ Used Oil And Used Oil Filters Are Brought Into The Facility By Coomes Transportation Trucks. The Used Oil Is Either Pumped Into One Of The Facility'S Two Tanks Or Is Left In A 55-Gallon Drum. Area Businesses Also Bring Their Used Oil To Coomes For Disposal. According To Mr. Coomes, The Used Oil Is Usually Left Outside The Facility'S Fence Or Is Brought In And Left Near The Secondary Containment Area. Coomes Will Then Add This Used Oil To The Tanks Or Drums. The Secondary Containment Area Is Used To Hold The Facility'S Two 250-Gallon Used Oil Tanks, Waste Drums, And Empty Drums (Photo 1). The Secondary Containment Structure Is 36 Feet Long, 8 Feet Wide, And 4.5 Inches Deep And Could Hold Approximately 808 Gallons Of Liquid If The Containment Were Structurally Sound. The Secondary Containment Wall Was Cracked In Several Areas (Photos 2 - 5) And Therefore Was Not Oil Impervious, Which Is A Violation Of 40 Cfr 279.45(D). The Facility'S Two Tanks Were Both Labeled; However, The Round Tank Was Near The Edge Of The Containment Structure On The End Closest To Vehicle Traffic Flow, And The Second Tank'S Release Valve Was Over The Containment Wall On The Other Side Of The Containment (Photos 6 And 7). This Is An Area Of Concern. Immediately Outside The Secondary Containment Structure Were Five 55-Gallon Drums Of Used Oil, One 55-Gallon Drum Of Used Oil Filters, And One 5-Gallon Bucket Of Used Oil (Photos 8 And 9). All Of These Containers Were Sitting On Soil. Failure To Store Used Oil Containers On An Oil-Impermeable Surface Inside Secondary Containment Is A Violation Of 40 Cfr 279.45(D). Failure To Store Used Oil Filters On An Oil-Impermeable Surface Is A Violation Of Rule 62-710.850(5)(A), Fac. The 5-Gallon Bucket Of Used Oil Was Open And Unprotected From The Weather, Which Is A Violation Of Rule 62-710.401(6), Fac. Four Of The 55-Gallon Drums Of Used Oil And The 5-Gallon Bucket Were Not Properly Labeled With The Words "Used Oil," Which Is A Violation Of 40 Cfr 279.45(G). The 55-Gallon Drum Of Used Oil Filters Was Moved Into The Secondary Containment During The Inspection. Also Immediately Outside The Containment Area Near The Used Oil Drums Was A Large Area Of What Appeared To Be Oil Stained Soil (Photos 10 And 11). No Attempts Had Been Made To Clean Up This Release. Failure To Cleanup A Release Of Used Oil Is A Violation Of 40 Cfr 279.45(H). During The May Visit To The Facility, It Was Noted That This Area Was Covered With A Fresh Layer Of Dirt; However, After Removing The Loose Surface Soil In A Few Spots, It Was Observed That There Was Still Used Oil Stained Soil Underneath (Photos 12 And 13). There Were Also Several Other Areas Of Used Oil Stained Soil Throughout The Facility (Photos 14 - 19). No Attempts Had Been Made To Cleanup The Releases [40 Cfr 279.45(H)].
