Routine; CESQG (<100 kg/month) - Routine; VSQG (<100 kg/month) - Routine; Used Oil Transfer Facility Progress Energy'S Wildwood Operations Center Was Inspected To Determine Its Compliance With State And Federal Hazardous Waste Managment Regulations. Rebecca Lee, James Haugabrook And Mason Anderson Explained Facility Operations During The Inspection. Until Recently, The Facility Was Subject To Used Oil Transporter Regulations Under 40 Cfr 279 As More Than 55 Gallons Of Oil Was Being Transported At A Time To The Facility As Part Of Field Maintenance Activities. Progress Energy Has Made Arrangements With Its Contractors To Pick Up Oil Directly From Its Field Locations In Most Cases. According To Ms. Lee, Progress Stopped Transporting Oil In Quantities Of 55 Gallons Or More Except For On Site Transport Around November 2008. The Facility Has Been A Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator Since At Least 2004, But Maintains Compliance With Most Small Quantity Generator Requirements. | The Operations Center Includes A Central Maintenance Warehouse, A Central Transformer Repair Building And A Fleet Services Building. The Heavy Hauling Department Transports Large Equipment And Hazardous Materials. Substation And Transmission Line Maintenance Mainly Occurs In The Field, But Equipment And Tools Are Stored At This Location. The Exterior Storage Yard Was Clean And Well Organized. Grass And Weeds Were Under Control In The Portions Of The Yard That Were Not Paved. Most Electrical Equipment Was Stored On The Paved Areas, And Articles Like Power Poles Were Stored In Grassy Areas.
The Operations Center Is Not Responsible For Maintaining Street Lighting, And Therefore Does Not Collect Universal Waste Lamps From Off Site. Overhead Hid Lighting Is Maintained By A Contractor, Who Removes The Lamps. The Only Universal Waste Lamps On Site Were About A Dozen Boxes Of Fluorescent Lamps Stored In The Central Warehouse. One Of These Was Open, And One Was Not Labeled, And This Was Corrected During The Inspection. No Hazardous Waste Is Generated In The Warehouse.
Transformer Repair Begins With Inspecting Incoming Transformers, Including Determining The Pcb Content. Pcb Equipment Is Managed In Accordance With Tsca Regulations, And The Facility Maintains A Separate Building For Pcb Storage. The Pcb Building Includes A Small Tank Farm. If Non Pcb Transformers Can Be Repaired, The Oil Is Drained And The Unit Is Repaired, Painted (If Needed) And Re-Filled. If Non Pcb Equipment Is Not Repairable, It Is Drained And Loaded On A Flatbed Trailer For Transfer To The Progress Rail Recycling Facility Adjacent To This Site. Progress Rail Was Formerly A Progress Energy Subsidiary, But The Business Unit Was Sold To Caterpillar, Inc. Several Years Ago.
Transformer Oil From Repairable Transformers Is Held In Separate Tanks, And Processed For Re-Use In Repaired Transformers. Oil From Unrepairable Transformers Is Held For Disposal. There Are Two Separate Tank Farms For Non-Pcb Oils, One Adjacent To The Central Repair Facility And The Second Along The East Property Boundary For Storage Of Oils Transported To And From Field Equipment. There Are Nine Horizontal Tanks In The Latter Tank Farm, Three For New Oil And Six For Used Oil. According To To The Facility, The Used Oil Tanks In This Farm Are Now Empty As The Facility Is No Longer Transporting Oil From The Field.
The Central Repair Tank Farm Was Operated In Compliance With Used Oil Regulations. However Several 55 Gallon Containers Of Used Oil, A Portable Tank And A Compartmented Tanker Were Also Noted In The Area That Were Labeled As Containing Used Oil. These Were All Closed, And On Pavement, But Were Not Provided With Secondary Containment. This Tanker Is Used To Transfer Oil From Large Equipment In The Yard To The Tank Farm. The Rear Container Mainly Holds Water That Has Been Removed From Transformer Casings. Three Additional Empty Tankers Were Noted In The Yard, And These Were Previously Used To Transport Used Oil To The Facility. The Secondary Containment Requirements W |

Routine; Used Oil Transporter Florida Power Corp.'S Wildwood Service Complex Was Inspected For Compliance With Used Oil Transporter And Hazardous Waste Generator Regulations. The Facility'S Notification Status Was Most Recently Updated In February 2012 To Change The Facility Contact Person To Brandon Barr, An Environmental Specialist With The Corporation. On The First Day Of The Inspection, Mr. Barr And Other Environmental Staff Were At An Off Site Meeting. The Department Inspected The Hazardous Waste Containers And Used Oil Tanks And Tank Trailers At That Time, And Returned To The Site March 14, 2012 For A Follow Up Inspection And Record Review With Mr. Barr. Florida Power Continues To Maintain Status As A Used Oil Transporter And Small Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator As A Protective Filing, But Is Not Currently Transporting Regulated Used Oil. The Facility Has Also Been A Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator For The Past Three Years, But Has The Potential To Generate Larger Quantities Of Hazardous Waste At Times. | The Facility Processes Have Changed Only Slightly From The Previous Inspections In 2000, 2004 And 2009. Hazardous Paint Waste Is Still Generated On Site, However The Facility'S Recycling Parts Washer Has Been Taken Out Of Service And Disposed Of. The Facility Has Three Labeled Satellite Collection Containers In The Painting Areas, One For Liquid Paint Waste, A Second For Paint Solids And A Third To Collect Waste Aerosol Cans. No Paint Waste Has Been Shipped For Disposal Since The Recycling Parts Washer Was Removed In June 2011.
The Facility Also Continues To Generates Bead Blast Waste That Is Sometimes Characteristically Toxic. The Facility Analyzes And Manifests All Its Wastes Off Site Depending On The Test Results.
Oil Containing Electrical Equipment Is Transported To The Facility For Evaluation And Either Repair Or Disposal. In The Past, The Company Pumped Oil From Large Transformers In The Field, And Transported More Than 55 Gallons Of Oil At A Time To The Facility For Storage Pending Disposal. Now, The Company Has A Registered Transporter Respond Directly To The Equipment Location To Pump Out The Oil. The Company Still Has Two Tank Trailers Available In Case They Are Needed For Emergencies. However, They Are Currently Being Used For On Site Transfer Of Oil And Oily Waste Water From Equipment On Site To The Facility'S Oil Storage Tanks. When Not In Active Use, The Trailers Are Parked Within Secondary Containment.
Used Oil Is Accumulated In Two Above Ground Storage Tanks. The Old Tanks Were Recently Replaced With Double Walled Tanks. All Used Oil Tanks And Containers On Site Were Properly Labeled, In Good Condition And Provided With Secondary Containment.
Universal Waste Lamps Were Being Accumulated In Labeled Containers, Which Were The Original Boxes In Which The Lamps Were Supplied. The Lids Of The Cardboard Boxes Were Closed, However Hand Holds And Cut Out Were Punched In The Boxes, So That The Sides Were Not Closed As Required By 40 Cfr 273.13(D)(1). This Was Corrected The Day Of The Inspection By Taping The Cutouts.
A Second Satellite Collection Area, Including One Container For Waste Aerosol Cans, One For Used Circuit Boards And A Third For Used Hid Lamps Was Located Outside The Northern Transmission Building, Used For Staging Line Crews And Offices. The Containers Were Closed And Properly Labeled. The Building Also Contained A Room With Banks Of Lead/Acid Emergency Batteries. The Room Was Clean And Well Kept, And Contained A Spill Kit.
Facility Waste Determinations, Disposal Records, Inspection, Contingency Planning And Training Records Were Reviewed And Were In Compliance. | One Area Of Concern Related To Packaging Of Universal Waste Lamps Was Noted During This Inspection, Which Has Been Corrected. The Facility Is In Compliance With Hazardous Waste And Used Oil Management Regulations. | Edit Made | Submitted For Approval By Knauss, Elizabeth |

| Wildwood Service Complex Was Inspected As A Self-Transporter Of Used Oil And Was In Compliance At The Time Of The Inspection. The Inspection Of 9/4/2015 Was Conducted Strictly To Verify The Facility’S Status As A Self-Transporter Of Duke Energy Of Florida’S Used Oil From Its Own Non-Contiguous Facilities. Based On The Information Provided During And After The Inspection, The Facility’S Status As A Self-Transporter Of Used Oil Was Confirmed. Wildwood Service Complex Was In Compliance At The Time Of This Inspection. | The Wildwood Service Complex Serves As A Hub For The Collection Of All Duke Energy Of Florida’S Electrical Power Station Equipment Prior To Determining The Equipment’S Final Destination For Reclamation Or Disposal. Equipment Handled Includes But Is Not Necessarily Limited To: Transformers, Capacitors, Capacitor Bushing Rods, Circuit Breakers, Electrical Caps & Switches, And Shunt Capacitor Bank Racks.
Used Oil From Electrical Equipment Is Tested Via Samples Collected Onsite. Samples Are Taken From Each Unit Brought Into The Complex Prior To Shipment Offsite And Combined Into A Batch Sample. Once Enough Samples Are Accumulated, The Sample Batch Is Primarily Sent To Florida Transformer Inc. For Testing Of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (Pcb’S), However Occasionally Flowers Chemical Labs Inc. And Clean Harbors Inc. May Be Used For The Analysis If The Situation Warrants It. According To Mr. Devlin, These Samples Are Usually Sent Out Once A Month, Sometimes Twice A Month If A Large Number Of Units Come In.
If Used Oil Sampling Results Come Back With Non-Regulated Levels Of Pcb Contamination, The Corresponding Units From Which The Samples Were Taken Have Their Oil Removed And The Used Oil Is Stored Onsite In Tanks As “Non-Pcb Oil” Prior To Being Shipped Offsite For Reclamation. Units Whose Oil Samples Contain Regulated Levels Of Pcb Contamination Do Not Have Their Oil Removed Prior To Being Shipped Offsite To A Registered Used Oil Processor.
Units With Pcb Levels Over 500 Parts Per Million (Ppm) Are Kept In A Designated Storage Building Referred To As The “Pcb Building” While Units With Pcb Levels Between 49 And 500 Ppm Are Stored Next To The Pcb Building To Keep Them Segregated From The Higher Pcb Content Units. Non-Pcb Units Are Shipped Out Together With The Pcb-Positive Units But Are Accounted For Separately In Manifests.
Used Oil Either Removed From The Units Or Brought In Separately From Electrical Power Stations Is Stored Onsite As Follows:
