Facility Tour
During The Facility Tour, These Issues Were Noted. Behind The Red Cargo Trailer And Along The Fence Line Were Two Oversized Yellow Plastic Containers That Were Covered With A Tarp And Appeared To Contain Used Oil. Upon Removing The Tarp, It Was Discovered That One Of The Two Containers Had Oily Water On Top And One Or Both Of Those Containers Could Possibly Have Been Leaking As There Was A Small Area Of Stained Soil On The Ground In Front Of The Containers. In That Same Area Was A Black Drum Which Also Appeared To Contain Used Oil. It Was Also Observed That Some Of The Used Oil Filter Containers Brought Into The Facility On The Day Before The Inspection Were Still Waiting For Consolidation And Had Not Been Properly Labeled.
.
Records Review:
The Facility'S Contingency Plan Was Adequate; However, The Facility Couldn'T Produce Documentation Proving That The Contingency Plan Had Been Distributed To The Local Authorities. All Other Records Appeared To Be In Order: I.E. Manifests, Acceptance And Delivery Logs, General Facility Inspection Logs, Training Records, The Waste Analysis Plan And The Closure Plan.

During The Inspection, Ros Was Represented By Mr. Rick Smerkers, The General Manager Of The Facility. The Dep Was Represented By Ms. Norva Blandin, An Environmental Specialist Iii.
Ricky'S Oil & Environmental Services Llc (Ros) Is Situated On A 0.72 Acre Site In A Heavy Industrial Area. The Facility Has Been In Operation At This Site For Approximately 65 Years, And There Are Currently Twelve (12) Employees. The Entire Facility Is Connected To City Water And Sewer.
The Facility'S Most Recent Used Oil Handler Notification Was Filed With The Department On 02/27/2017, Which Characterized Ros As A Used Oil Processor, A Used Oil Transporter, A Used Oil Transfer Facility, A Used Oil Marketer, A Used Oil Filter Transporter, And A Used Oil Filter Transfer Facility. The Notification Form Registration Is Set To Expire On 06/30/2018.
The Facility Was Most Recently Inspected By The Dep On 04/02/2015. One (1) Minor Recordkeeping Violation Was Noted. Compliance Without Enforcement (Cwoe) Was Pursued, As The Facility Returned To Compliance (Via Submittal Of The Missing Recordkeeping Information To The Department) Within Fifteen Days Of The Inspection.
Ppe (Personal Protective Equipment) Was Required To Enter This Facility. The Inspectors Wore Safety Boots
Throughout The Inspection. | Ros Is A Permitted Facility Authorized To Handle, Process, Transport, And Market Used Oil And Used Oil Filters. The Facility Consists Of A Tank Farm Contained Within Secondary Containment, Two Office Trailers, And A Small Parking Lot. The Ros Facility Is Completely Surrounded By A Security Fence.
Mr. Rick Smerkers Accompanied The Inspector Throughout The Used Oil Compliance Evaluation Inspection Of The Ros Facility.
Ros Has Eleven (11) Tanks On Site That Have A Total Aggregate Capacity Of 160,000 Gallons. Ros Maintains A Fleet Of Eleven (11) Vehicles, With Which Facility Personnel Transport Used Oil From Ros' Clients (I.E. Used Oil Generating Facilities) To The Ros Facility Site. All Used Oil Shipments Arriving At The Facility Are Offloaded Into Tank Eight, Unless The Shipment'S Water Content Is Less Than Five Percent. If This Is The Case, The Shipment'S Used Oil Is Considered On-Spec. The On-Spec Used Oil Is Then Stored In One Of Ros'S Finished Product Tanks And Marketed To The Facility'S Used Oil Customers. Only Tank Eight Is Used For Used Oil Processing, And Ros Only Engages In Passive Processing (I.E. No Heat Is Used To Process The Used Oil). However, An Emulsifier Is Sometimes Added To Tank Eight To Aid In Oil/Water Separation. The Waste Water That Is Generated As A Result Of This Emulsifying Process Is Collected, Handled, And Stored As Oily Water Waste In Properly Closed And Labeled Containers Within The Facility'S Main Storage Area. Ros Also Uses An Oil Filtration System As A Part Of Its Oil Processing Operations. More Specifically, Ros Filters The Used Oil Shipments Determined To Be On-Spec Before Storing Them In The Facility'S Finished Product Tanks. Any Sludge Waste Generated From This Oil Filtration Process Is Collected, Handled, And Stored As Oily Solid Waste (I.E. Stored Along With The Facility'S Oily Rag Waste In Properly Closed And Labeled Containers) In The Facility'S Main Storage Area.
Upon Arrival At The Facility, Any Used Oil Filters Are Completely Drained By Facility Personnel. The Drained Used Oil Filters Are Then Accumulated On-Site In One (1) Large, Open Container. Once The Used Oil Filter Container Is Completely Filled, Ros Personnel Remove The Filters And Pack Them Into Properly Labeled And Sealed Containers, Which Are Stored In The Facility'S Main Storage Area And Are Ultimately Shipped Off-Site As Scrap Metal For Recycling.
The Facility Also Has Two (2) Roll-Offs In Its Tank Farm Area. These Two (2) Roll-Offs |

Ros Maintains A Fleet Of Eleven (11) Vehicles, With Which Facility Personnel Transport Used Oil From Ros' Clients (I.E. Used Oil Generating Facilities) To The Ros Facility Site. All Used Oil Shipments Arriving At The Facility Are Offloaded Into Tank Eight, Unless The Shipment'S Water Content Is Less Than Five Percent. If This Is The Case, The Shipment'S Used Oil Is Considered On-Spec. The On-Spec Used Oil Is Then Stored In One Of Ros'S Finished Product Tanks And Marketed To The Facility'S Used Oil Customers. Only Tank Eight Is Used For Used Oil Processing, And Ros Only Engages In Passive Processing (I.E. No Heat Is Used To Process The Used Oil). However, An Emulsifier Is Sometimes Added To Tank Eight To Aid In Oil/Water Separation. The Waste Water That Is Generated As A Result Of This Emulsifying Process Is Collected, Handled, And Stored As Oily Water Waste In Properly Closed And Labeled Containers Within The Facility'S Main Storage Area. Ros Also Uses An Oil Filtration System As A Part Of Its Oil Processing Operations. More Specifically, Ros Filters The Used Oil Shipments Determined To Be On-Spec Before Storing Them In The Facility'S Finished Product Tanks. Any Sludge Waste Generated From This Oil Filtration Process Is Collected, Handled, And Stored As Oily Solid Waste (I.E. Stored Along With The Facility'S Oily Rag Waste In Properly Closed And Labeled Containers) In The Facility'S Main Storage Area.
Upon Arrival At The Facility, Any Used Oil Filters Are Completely Drained By Facility Personnel. The Drained Used Oil Filters Are Then Accumulated On-Site In One (1) Large, Open Container. Once The Used Oil Filter Container Is Completely Filled, Ros Personnel Remove The Filters And Pack Them Into Properly Labeled And Sealed
Containers, Which Are Stored In The Facility'S Main Storage Area And Are Ultimately Shipped Off-Site As Scrap Metal For Recycling.
The Facility Also Has Two (2) Roll-Offs In Its Tank Farm Are |

Ros Has Eleven Tanks On Site That Have A Total Capacity Of 160,000 Gallons. Ros Maintains A Fleet Of 7 Vehicles.
Since The Last Inspection Conducted On 2/11/2019, Ros Has Made A Change To Its Process. Before, All Used Oil Shipments Arriving At The Facility Were Offloaded Into Tank 8, Unless The Shipment'S Water Content Was Less Than Five Percent. If This Was The Case, The Used Oil Was Considered On-Spec. The On-Spec Used Oil Was Then Stored In One Of Ros'S Finished Product Tanks And Marketed To The Facility'S Used Oil Customers. Now, All Used Oil Shipments Arriving At The Facility Are Offloaded Into Tank 5 For Processing. Once The Processing Is Done It Is Stored Onsite And Later Taken To Synergy Recycling In Kingsland Georgia (Epa Id: Gar000048009) Who Is A Refiner; Synergy Recycling Also Owns Ros. Also, The Facility Had A Recent Change In Its General Manager, Jeff Englin Who Is A Temporary General Manager And Will Be Replaced By Xavir Rivera In August 2020.
The Facility Uses A Demulsifier Which Is Used To Separator Water From The Used Oil. The Processing Is Passive Since It Does Not Use Heat. The Waste Water That Is Generated As A Result Of This Demulsification Process Is Collected, Handled, And Stored As Oily Water In Properly Closed And Labeled Containers Within The Facility'S Main Storage Area.
Upon Arrival At The Facility, Any Used Oil Filters Are Completely Drained By Facility Personnel. The Drained Used Oil Filters Are Then Accumulated On-Site In 6 Large, Closed Containers That Are Properly Labeled.
