Site Inspection |
Routine; CESQG (<100 kg/month) - Routine; Used Oil Transporter - Routine; Used Oil Transfer Facility - Routine; Used Oil Marketer - Routine; VSQG (<100 kg/month) Fcc Environmental (Fcce) Was Inspected To Determine Its Compliance With State And Federal Regulations Governing Used Oil And Hazardous Waste. A Second Site Visit Was Conducted On October 9, 2009. Fcce Is A Used Oil Processor And Marketer Of On-Spec Used Oil Operating Under Permit #0030676-Ho-005, Which Expires On August 20, 2013. Fcce Produces A Fuel Oil That Is Equivalent To No. 5 Fuel Oil And A Flotation Oil For The Phosphate Industry. The Fcce Eight-Acre Site Contains An Oil Re-Refinery Facility, Laboratory, Industrial Wastewater Pretreatment Facility, Storage Tanks, Maintenance Garage And Administration Buildings. Little Has Changed At The Facility Since The Previous Inspection Of January 18, 2008, Except As Noted. At The Time Of This Inspection, Mr. Jack Thornburgh, The Branch Manager, Was On Vacation, However, He Was Present During The Second Site Visit. | The Fcce Tank Farms Consist Of Thirty Aboveground Storage Tanks (Asts), All Of Which Have Secondary Containment Consisting Of Coated Concrete Walls And Floors Designed To Contain Oil Spills. Overall, The Containment Areas Were Clean And In Good Condition. The Majority Of Used Oil, Used Oil Filters And Oily Wastes Are Brought In To The Facility By Fcce Trucks, Common Carriers, Independent Oil Transporters And Tanker Rail Cars. Water That Is Distilled During The Processing Of Used Oil Is Pretreated In The Company'S Wastewater Treatment Plant Prior To Being Discharged To The Plant City Potw. The Containment In Water Treatment Area Was Also Clean And In Good Condition.
There Was Used Oil On The Floor In The Area Around The Used Oil Filter Crusher Although This Could Be Reasonably Expected Since The Unit Was Undergoing Repairs At The Time Of The Inspection. The Hazardous Waste Satellite Container Near The Crusher Was Being Properly Managed. There Were Three Hoppers Of Used Oil Filters Awaiting Crushing That Were Unlabeled, However. The Strainer Tank Near The Shaker Unit Was Also Unlabeled. There Were Two Containers Of Oily Solid Waste Next To The Shaker Unit. Please Note That All Solid Waste Is To Be Processed, Consolidated And Solidified In Accordance With The Solid Waste Permit.
Crushed Used Oil Filters Are Sometimes Shipped Off Site By Rail. Used Oil Delivered By Rail Only Stays At The Facility For A Few Days Depending On The Time It Is Staged At The Spur. At The Time Of The Initial Visit, There Was A Rail Car On Site That Was Observed To Be Leaking From The Bottom At Several Locations Onto The Asphalt Between The Rails. According To Staff The Rail Car Was Empty And Had Arrived At The Facility To Be Loaded With Crushed Used Oil Filters. Examination Of The Interior Of The Rail Car Showed Numerous Used Oil Filters, As Well As What Appeared To Be Several Inches Of Used Oil. During The Subsequent Site Visit On October 9, 2009, The Rail Car Was Still On Site And Was Still Leaking From The Bottom. Several Pans Had Been Placed Under The Car, However, Not All The Leaks Were Being Captured. According To Staff, The Rail Car Was To Be Removed From The Site By October 16, 2009.
The Rail Car Transfer Area Is Equipped With Sumps That Are Supposed To Contain And Direct Spills And Stormwater To The Facility'S Oil / Water Separator. At The Time Of The Initial Inspection, It Was Observed That The Sumps In This Area Appeared Full, And There Was Evidence That The System Had Overflowed. Used Oil Contamination Was Observed On The Ground From The Rail Car Transfer Area. Also, It Was Noted That At The Rear Of The Property Were Several Hoses Used To Transfer Used Oil On The Ground. The Hoses Had Leaked A Small Amount Of Used Oil Onto The Soil. It Was Confirmed During The Following Site Visit That These Issues Had Been Addressed.
During The Inspection, It Was Noted That The Spill Cabinet Needed To Be Restocked, And At Least One Eyewash Station May Not Have Been Maintained In Accordance With The Permit. There Were Also A Couple Of Containers Near The M |

Site Inspection |
Complaint; Used Oil-Other Fcc Environmental (Fcce) Was Inspected As A Result Of A Citizen'S Complaint. The Complaint Alleged That Fcce Had Picked Up Some Hazardous Waste And Was Storing It In The Yard In An Illegal Manner And Without The Proper Hazardous Waste 10 Day Permit. According To The Complaint, The Waste Was Located On A Storage Trailer "Out Back" And Has Been There For At Least A Month. Mr. Jack Thornburgh, The Branch Manager, Accompanied The Inspectors Throughout The Inspection. | Fcce Is A Used Oil Processor And Marketer Of On-Spec Used Oil Operating Under Permit #0030676-Ho-005, Which Expires On August 20, 2013. Fcce Produces A Fuel Oil That Is Equivalent To No. 5 Fuel Oil And A Flotation Oil For The Phosphate Industry. The Fcce Tank Farms Consist Of Thirty Aboveground Storage Tanks (Asts), All Of Which Have Secondary Containment Consisting Of Coated Concrete Walls And Floors Designed To Contain Oil Spills. The Majority Of Used Oil, Used Oil Filters And Oily Wastes Are Brought In To The Facility By Fcce Trucks, Common Carriers, Independent Oil Transporters And Tanker Rail Cars. Water That Is Distilled During The Processing Of Used Oil Is Pretreated In The Company'S Wastewater Treatment Plant Prior To Being Discharged To The Plant City Potw.
The Yard Was Inspected, But No Storage Trailer Of Wastes Was Observed. The Interiors Of Every Box Truck In The Yard Were Inspected, As Well, But No Wastes Like Those Described Were Found. In The Trailer Used By Maintenance, However, There Were Some Buckets Of Paint And Related Materials, Some Of Which Were Observed To Be In Poor Condition And Leaking. This Was Pointed Out To Mr. Thornburgh, Who Immediately Directed Staff To Address The Condition Of This Trailer. The Department Recommends That Fcce Regularly Inventory The Contents Of The Maintenance Trailer And Ensure That The Containers Within Are In Good Condition.
After Discussing The Nature Of The Complaint With Mr. Thornburgh And Other Fcce Staff, It Was Determined That The Complaint Was Most Likely Referring To A Shipment Of Virgin, Off-Spec Materials That Came From Gardner-Gibson On 10-02-09. The Customer Claimed The Material Was Nonhazardous, However, There Apparently Were Flammables Stickers Affixed To The Containers And It Appeared Questionable To The Yard Staff Receiving The Shipment. The Four Pallets Of Material Was Set Aside Pending Clarification From The Customer. The Pallets Were Placed In The Storage Trailer Normally Used To Store Parts Washer Solvent To Protect The Material From The Weather. The Customer Was Contacted And Indicated That The Material Was Thought Be Hardened In The Can And Was Therefore Nonhazardous. Lab Staff At Fcce Found That The Material Flashed And Was Not Fully Cured, So The Material Was Returned To The Customer On 11-20-09.
A Report Detailing The Incident, Including Shipping Papers, Was Provided To The Department By Fcce On 12-03-09. The Msds Provided With The Report Indicated That The Material Would Also Be Hazardous For Lead And Cadmium Upon Disposal, However, The Report And The Associated Documents Did Not Specifically Mention Lead Or Cadmium As Potential Hazardous Waste Constituents. In Accordance With Its Used Oil Processing And Solid Waste Permits, Fcce May Accept Only Nonhazardous Wastes. When Waste Is Being Evaluated For Acceptance By Fcce, All Potential Characteristics Should Be Considered, Not Just The Characteristic Of Ignitability.
For Example, In This Case, Based On The Discussions During The Inspection And The Report Subsequently Submitted, Had The Material Been As It Was Represented By The Customer, I.E., Hardened In The Can With No Measurable Flash Point, It Appears That Fcce Would Have Accepted It Without Further Analyses Or Evaluation, Which May Have Resulted In Permit Violations. In This Case, The Msds Clearly Indicates That The Material Is Hazardous For The Presence Of Heavy Metals Even Without Being Ignitable. Fcce Needs To Ensure That Msdss And Other Accompa |

Routine; CESQG (<100 kg/month) - Routine; Used Oil Transporter - Routine; Used Oil Generator - Routine; Used Oil Processor - Routine; VSQG (<100 kg/month) Fcc Environmental, Llc, (Fcce) Was Inspected To Determine Its Compliance With State And Federal Regulations Governing Used Oil And Hazardous Waste. Records Were Reviewed On December 1, 2010. Fcce Is A Used Oil Processor And Marketer Of On-Spec Used Oil Operating Under Permit #0030676-Ho-005, Which Expires On August 20, 2013. Fcce Produces A Fuel Oil That Is Equivalent To No. 5 Fuel Oil And A Flotation Oil For The Phosphate Industry. The Fcce Eight-Acre Site Contains An Oil Re-Refinery Facility, Laboratory, Industrial Wastewater Pretreatment Facility, Storage Tanks, Maintenance Garage And Administration Buildings. Little Has Changed At The Facility Since The Previous Inspection Of September 16, 2009, Except As Noted. At The Time Of This Inspection, Mr. Jack Thornburgh, The Branch Manager, Was Out Of Town, However, He Was Present During The Records Review. The Inspector Was Accompanied By Mr. John Ruchlewicz, The Plant Manager. | The Fcce Tank Farms Consist Of Thirty Aboveground Storage Tanks (Asts), All Of Which Have Secondary Containment Consisting Of Coated Concrete Walls And Floors Designed To Contain Oil Spills. Overall, The Containment Areas Were Clean And In Good Condition. The Majority Of Used Oil, Used Oil Filters And Oily Wastes Are Brought In To The Facility By Fcce Trucks, Common Carriers, Independent Oil Transporters And Tanker Rail Cars. Water That Is Distilled During The Processing Of Used Oil Is Pretreated In The Company'S Wastewater Treatment Plant Prior To Being Discharged To The Plant City Potw. At The Time Of The Inspection, The Facility Was Resurfacing The Truck Off-Loading Area. According To Mr. Ruchlewicz, It Was Noted That Some Cracks Had Formed In The Concrete. They Were In The Process Of Jack-Hammering Out The Cracks, Refilling Them With Concrete Patch And Then Resealing The Concrete.
During The Previous Routine Compliance Inspection, The Department Determined That The Sumps In The Rail Car Transfer Area Were Not Being Maintained Properly, And Also That A Rail Car That Had Been Used To Transport Used Oil Filters Was Leaking Used Oil. Fcce Now Cleans The Sumps Out Weekly, And Gondola Rail Cars Are No Longer Accepted At The Facility. The Appearance Of The Rail Car Transfer Area Was Improved Since The Previous Inspection.
In The Used Oil Filter Crushing Area, There Was One Hopper Of Used Oil Filters, And Four Hoppers Of Blocks Of Crushed Used Oil Filters. These Containers Were All Being Properly Managed. In The Staging Area, There Were Approximately 26 Containers Of Used Oil Filters, Including Two Cubic Yard Boxes Of Used Jet Filters And One Drum Of Individually Crushed Filters, Or "Pucks." All These Containers Except One Was Being Managed Properly. The Facility Has A Satellite Accumulation Container Near The Crushing Unit For Waste Aerosol Cans Pulled From The Drums Of Used Oil Filters. The 55-Gallon Drum Is Equipped With A Can Puncturing Assembly, But It Was Observed That The Hazardous Waste Label Is Now Illegible And Should Be Replaced.
Other Containers Observed Included Approximately 75 Empty Drums Staged For Head Cutting And Crushing, Plus Four Containers Of Antifreeze To Be Transferred Into Tank #20. Seven Drums Of Used Oil Were Noted, Two Of Which Were Labeled "Oily Water," And Twelve Drums Of Used Oil Filters. The Containers Were Being Managed Properly Except As Noted. There Were Also Eleven Containers Of Oily Waste Solids, Such As Oil Impacted Soil And Oil Soaked Clay Absorbent, And Two Drums Of Used Grease For Disposal At The Landfill In Okeechobee, Fl. Mr. Ruchlewicz Was Asked About Disposal Of Materials, Such As Waste Grease, At The Landfill. He Stated That Fcce Will Not Accept Any Waste For Landfill Disposal Without A Profile And Analysis.
During The Inspection, There Was Some Used Oil Noted Inside The Containment Next To The Rail Spur. A Pail Of Used Oil And Oily Solid Materials Was Observed Overflowing Into The Containment. Discussion With Staff Indi |

Complaint; Used Oil Processor Fcc Environmental, Llc, (Fcc) Was Inspected As A Result Of A Citizen'S Complaint Originating With The State Warning Point, Which Referred The Complaint To The Department'S Criminal Bureau Of Investigations (Cbi). The Cbi Notified The Department'S Hazardous Waste Section That There May Be Hazardous Waste Improperly Stored On Site In The Form Of "Hot Used Oil," Or Used Oil Contaminated With Hazardous Waste. According To The Cbi, The Hot Used Oil Was On A Rail Car And In Three Drums. The Hazardous Waste Section Performed A Site Visit To Determine Whether Hazardous Waste Was Being Improperly Stored. Mr. Jack Thornburgh, The Branch Manager, Accompanied The Inspector Throughout The Inspection. | Fcc Is A Used Oil Processor And Marketer Of On-Spec Used Oil Operating Under Permit #0030676-Ho-005, Which Expires On August 20, 2013. Fcc Produces A Fuel Oil That Is Equivalent To No. 5 Fuel Oil And A Flotation Oil For The Phosphate Industry. The Majority Of Used Oil, Used Oil Filters And Oily Wastes Are Brought In To The Facility By Fcc Trucks, Common Carriers, Independent Oil Transporters And Tanker Rail Cars. Water That Is Distilled During The Processing Of Used Oil Is Pretreated In The Company'S Wastewater Treatment Plant Prior To Being Discharged To The Plant City Potw.
Mr. Thornburgh Was Asked About The Rail Car And The Drums. He Was Not Sure Which Drums The Complaint Referred To Since At Any Given Time There May Be One Or More Drums Of Hot Used Oil Where The Presumption Had Been Or Was In The Process Of Being Rebutted. He Said That Currently, There Were No Such Drums On Site. He Then Said That There Was Indeed A Rail Car On Site Containing Contaminated Used Oil That Had Been Received At The Facility In Late October 2010. The Rail Car Originated At The Fcc Facility Near Atlanta, Ga (Gar 000 051 946). When It Arrived In Plant City, It Was Found Via Fcc'S Standard Screening Processes To Be Contaminated With Chlorinated Solvents. Additional Analysis Indicated The Contaminant Was Trichloroethylene (Tce).
Review Of The Field Screening Results On Acceptance Records Associated With The Used Oil On The Rail Car Indicated The Used Oil Was Not Contaminated, But Further Investigation Indicated The Source To Be Fort Benning Army Base, Which Generated The Majority Of The Used Oil In The Rail Car. Fort Benning Was Contacted About The Contaminated Used Oil, And Samples Of Residual Used Oil Were Obtained From The Tanks That Had Been Pumped Out By Fcc. These Samples Were Also Contaminated With Tce, Confirming Fort Benning As The Source Of The Contaminated Oil. Fort Benning Is A Large Quantity Generator Of Hazardous Waste And The Presumption Could Not Be Rebutted.
At The Time Of The Inspection, Fcc Was Still In Discussions With Fort Benning About The Disposition Of The Oil And Associated Costs. Additionally, Csx Was Involved In The Matter Due To Its Being Shipped By Rail. There Were Further Delays Because The Designated Facility, Giant Resource Recovery (Scd 003 351 699), Is Currently Accepting This Type Of Waste, Which It Burns In Its Cement Kiln Incinerator, Only Intermittently Due To The Economy. Subsequent To The Inspection, Mr. Thornburgh Indicated That Fort Benning Had Assumed Complete Responsibility For The Costs Associated With The Rail Car Of Contaminated Used Oil, Which Was Shipped By Rail For Disposal On December 10, 2010.
Mr. Thornburgh Was Asked About Why The Used Oil Was Not Identified In The Field As Hot By The Fcc Driver In Conyers. He Said That The Driver Had Been Questioned About That And Insisted That He Had Screened It In The Field In Accordance With Fcc'S Standard Operating Procedures. It Is Unknown How The Contaminated Material Made It Through The Screening Process. The State Of Georgia Inspected The Conyers Facility In November 2010.
The Rail Car Was Examined During The Inspection. It Was Noted That It Was Placarded As A Petroleum Product, But Was Not Identified As Hazardous Waste. In The |

Routine; CESQG (<100 kg/month) - Routine; Used Oil-Other - Routine; Universal Waste Transporter - Routine; VSQG (<100 kg/month) Fcc Environmental Llc (Fcc) Was Inspected For Compliance With Used Oil And Hazardous Waste Regulations. The Facility Operates Under A Used Oil And Oil Filter Processing Facility Permit, #30676-Ho-005. Angelo Pousa, The New Branch Manager, Represented The Facility During The Inspection. Facility Operations Have Not Changed Significantly Since The Previous Hazardous Waste Program Inspection, Conducted December 2, 2010. The Facility Also Has A Waste Water Pretreatment Unit That Discharges To The City Of Plant City Potw Under An Administratively Extended Pretreatment Permit. The Pretreatment Permit Is For Discharge Of Waste Water Generated On Site From Oil Processing, Rather Than A Centralized Waste Treatment Permit. | The Facility Receives Off Specification Used Oil Transported By Fcc Drivers And From Other Transporters. The Oil Is Processed Into On-Specification Used Oil Fuel And Marketed. No Off-Specification Fuel Has Been Marketed By The Facility Since The Previous Inspection. The Main Difference In Facility Operations Is That The On-Site Laboratory Is No Longer Certified By The Department Of Health For Environmental Analyses. The Lab Has One Employee That Still Analyzes Fuel For Internal Purposes, Including Chlorine And Sulfur Analyses By Xrf. However Analyses For Environmental Compliance Are Conducted By An Off Site Certified Lab. Analytical Reports Were Reviewed And Cross Referenced To The Certificates Of Analysis For The Fuel Sold, And No Discrepancies Were Found. The Highest Level Of Lead Detected Was 6.1 Mg/Kg.
The Facility Continues To Ship Oil By Rail And Tank Trailer, And Also Occasionally Receives Oil By Rail From Other Fcc Facilities. Plant City Is Able To Process Off Specification Oil Produced By Other Fcc Facilities If It Requires Further Processing To Be Marketable Specification Fuel. Oil Is Also Accepted From Other Transporters. The Facility Continues To Maintain A Non-Conforming Load Log To Document Loads That Were Rejected, And Loads That Were Accepted After The Generator Was Able To Rebut The Presumption. Fcc Does Not Require Each Load To Be Rebutted By Analysis, If The Source Of Contamination Is Consistent. Oil Contaminated With Chlorine From A Pool Chemical Supplier And Soluble Coolant With Chlorinated Paraffins Are Examples Of Wastes Fcc Accepts Based Upon A Rebuttal That Is Maintained On File. The Rebuttal Statement May Or May Not Include Information On The Source Of The Halogens In The Oil. It Is Recommended That Fcc Obtain Copies Of The Material Safety Data Sheets For Used Metalworking Oils If The Generator Claims To Have Process Knowledge That The Oil Contains Chlorinated Paraffins Rather Than Regulated Halogenated Constituents. This Information Should Be Maintained By Both The Transporter In Accordance With 40 Cfr 279.44(D) And The Processor In Accordance With In Accordance With 40 Cfr 279.55(A)(3).
Oil Filters Were Not Being Processed At The Time Of The Inspection. Bins And Containers Of Filters Were Either Closed Or Under A Roof If Open. The Oil Filter Bins Were Stenciled With The Words "Used Oil Filters," And The Markings Are Refreshed When They Become Worn. The Processing Equipment Includes A Containment Pan That Fills With Used Oil That Splashes During Processing. The Containment Pan Is Pumped Out At The End Of Every Shift, Or More Often If Necessary. Absorbent Is Also Spread In A Dike Around The Containment To Catch Splashes Or Drips. A Satellite Hazardous Waste Accumulation Container Is Located In This Area To Puncture Aerosol Cans Found When Emptying Filter Drums. The Container Was Properly Labeled And Closed. Several Containers Of Universal Waste Lamps Were Stored On A Mezzanine In This Building. All Were Closed And Labeled. Relatively Few Lamps Are Managed, And They Are Disposed Of At Least Once Per Year. Several 10 And 16 Gallon Containers Of Used Wheel Weights Were Stored Outside, On The North Side Of The Tank Farm Adjacent To The Rail Siding. Mr. Pousa S |

Routine; Used Oil Processor A Routine Inspection Was Conducted At Fcc Environmental To Determine The Facility'S Compliance With Regard To Used Oil Program And Solid Waste Regulations. Angelo Pousa And Other Facility Staff Provided Information And Assistance During The Inspection. The Facility'S Operations Have Not Changed Significantly Since The Previous Inspection. The Used Oil Processing Permit Was Renewed Effective September 12, 2013. Registration And Financial Assurance Information On File Is Up To Date. | The Facility Receives Used Oil In Tank Trucks And Occasionally By Rail Car. An Xrf Analyzer Is Used To Check For Halogen And Sulfur Content Before The Oil Is Unloaded Into Day Tanks. Oil That Contains More Than 1,000 Ppm Halogens Is Held Separately Until The Oil Is Either Rejected Or The Generator Has Been Able To Rebut The Presumption. The Oil His Held In The Day Tanks Until A Third Party Also Lab Verifies The Material Is Not Contaminated With Pcbs. The Oil Is Then Transferred To A Bulk Storage Tank Pending Processing. Processed Oil Is Also Tested By An Outside Certified Laboratory To Ensure It Meets 40 Cfr 279.11 Specifications Before It Is Sold As Fuel, Flotation Oil Or Re-Refinery Feedstock. The Oil Is Shipped Off Site By Tanker And Rail Car As Non-Dot Regulated Material. The Company'S Process And Specification Testing Ensures That The Processed Oil Has A Flash Point Above 200 Degrees F.
Fcc Also Checks Incoming Loads For Flash Point, Water Content And Other Parameters That Affect Their Process. Flash Points That Exceeded 140 Degrees F Were Not Determined. A Number Of Incoming Loads With Flash Points Below 140 Degrees F Were Noted. These Were Due To Mixtures Of Fuel And Oil, And The Oil Acceptance Records For These Loads Appeared To Reflect The Correct Usdot Shipping Information For The Wastes.
The Company Has Completed Transitioning To Electronic System For Tracking Oil Pickups. These Automatically Generate And Print Records In The Field, And Can Capture The Signature Of The Oil Providers. The Drivers Can Key In Their Halogen Screening Results, Indicated As "Pass" On The Printout. The System Is Also Set To Automatically Print Usdot Shipping Information Based On The Oil Providers' Statements Regarding Mixtures Of Oil And Fuel.
In Most Cases, The Company Collects A Retain Sample From The Oil Provider, Which Is Kept In Case A Contaminated Load Is Detected Using The Xrf. The Retained Samples Are Analyzed Only If Necessary In Order To Rebut The Presumption, Or Determine Liability For A Contaminated Load. The Samples Are Processed As Used Oil When No Longer Needed. The Facility'S Records Indicate That Only A Few Issues Have Been Detected Since The Previous Inspection. In Most Cases, The Presumption Was Rebutted Due To Contaminated By Salt Water, Cesqg Waste Or Public Used Oil Collection Center Waste. A Few Loads Were Shown Not To Contain Halogenated Solvents By Analysis.
Used Oil Filter Processing Operations Were The Same As In Previous Inspections. Four Open Drums Of Oil Filters Were Awaiting Processing Outside The Roofed Area. Solids Such As O-Rings And Other Debris Removed From The Containment Tray Are Drummed And Then Mixed With The Facility'S Solid Waste Stream For Disposal. Occasionally, Filters Are Now Sometimes Shipped To Kellen Environmental For Processing, If They Are Not Shipped Directly To The Foundry. A Number Of Cracks And Worn Areas Were Noted On The Floor Of The Filter Processing Building. As This Floor Acts As Secondary Containment For The Oil Collection Sump Beneath The Filter Crusher, It Must Be Maintained In Good Condition. Documentation Of Repairs Was Submitted After The Inspection.

Crystal-Clean Produces A Fuel Oil That Is Equivalent To No. 5 Fuel Oil And An Industrial Oil For The Phosphate Industry. The Crystal-Clean Site Contains An Oil Re-Refinery Facility, Laboratory, Industrial Wastewater Pretreatment Facility, Storage Tanks, Maintenance Garage And Administration Buildings. Little Has Changed At The Facility Since The Previous Inspection Of January 22,2014, Except As Noted. The Inspector Was Accompanied By Mr. Tony Piotrowski, The Field Services Supervisor And Primary Designated Emergency Coordinator, With Additional Assistance Provided By Mr. Angelo Pousa, Regional Manager East Coast Operations.
Crystal-Clean Acquired Fcc Environmental Services, Llc, In 2015, And The Permit Was Transferred Via A Permit Minor Modification On May 20, 2015. The Permit Was Modified Again On October 26, 2015, To Include Revisions To The Waste Analysis Plan (Wap). Updated Closing Cost Estimates Were Provided And Approved By The Department In 2015. The Facility'S Dot Phmsa Certification Expires June 30, 2017. Since The Previous Inspection, Crystal-Clean Has Become A Certified Hazardous Waste Transporter, However, No Hazardous Waste Is Actually Transported Under This Id Number. Additionally, The Facility Is No Longer Crushing Used Oil Filters. | The Facility Receives Used Oil In Tank Trucks And Occasionally By Rail Car. Used Anti-Freeze Is Also Picked Up And Shipped For Recycling Via Rail Car To A Crystal-Clean Glycol Distillation Facility In Rockville, Va. In Accordance With Its Approved Wap, Used Oil That Is Transported By Crystal-Clean Is Screened In The Field Using A Chlor-D-Tect Test Kit. Note That Used Oil From Automotive Sources Is Screened Only Upon The First Pickup, And This Practice Has Been Approved By The Rcra Permitting Section. If The Used Oil Is Found To Contain >1,000 Ppm Halogens, The Oil Will Not Be Collected Without Direction And Approval From Crystal-Clean'S Divisional Oil And Vacuum Service Manager. In Addition To The Field Screening, At Least One Retain Sample Is Obtained At Each Pick-Up.
All Incoming Loads Are Screened For Halogen Content Upon Arrival Using A Chlor-D-Tect Test Kit. Single Source Loads That Fail The Screening Are Kept Segregated Until The Presumption Is Either Rebutted Or Not. If It Can’T Be Rebutted, The Load Is Rejected, And Usually Returned To The Generator Unless Other Arrangements Are Made. Loads Of Consolidated Used Oil That Fail The Halogen Screening Upon Arrival Are Segregated And Analyzed To Characterize The Waste. Each Retain Sample Is Then Analyzed To Determine Which Customer Had The Contaminated Used Oil. If The Presumption Can Be Rebutted Based On Who Generated It (E.G., Cesqg) It Will Be Accepted. If Not, The Load Is Transported To A Tsd, And The Original Generator Signs The Hw Manifest. Segregation For Loads Received From A Third Party Transporter Are Segregated By Placing The Material Into A Dedicated Tank And Are Not Released Until Additional Screening Is Conducted And Passed. Part Of This Screening Is Analysis By An Outside Nelap Certified Lab To Determine Pcb Contamination.
Samples Retained By Drivers Are Processed When No Longer Needed, Or At Least 90 Days. Based On Review Of The Non-Conforming Log, The Facility Has Received Nine Nonconforming Loads In 2016. In All Cases, The Presumption Was Rebutted. The Last Nonconforming Load That Was Rejected Was In 10-5-15 Because Of High Levels Of Pcbs. This Load Was Initially Accepted From A Third Party Transporter And Kept Segregated As Part Of The Screening Process Described Above Before Analytical Results Showed Pcb Contamination.
