The Facility Notified As A Used Oil Transporter And Was Registered In April Of 2010. The Facility Has Been Assigned The Epa Id Number Fld981027279. Jea Was Last Inspected In November Of 2004.
Jea Operates A Maintenance Facility At This Location For Its Electrical Transformers. Jea Is A Municipal Electric Utility Transporting Only Its Own Used Oil, Generated At Its Own Noncontiguous Facilities, To Its Own Central Collection Facility, And Is Therefore Exempt From The Used Oil Certification Program Under Section 403.767(1)(C), Florida Statutes. | Hazmat Building:
This Building Is Where Trucks Triage The Waste They Accumulate In The Field From Different Sites. Transformers Are Loaded Onto The Western Side Of The Building Where They Are Inspected (Photo 1). All Transformers (Good And Bad) Have A Sample Taken Of The Oil Inside. If The Sample Comes Back "Hot" (Pcb Concentration Of Greater Than 45 Ppm) They Are Moved To The Eastern Side Of The Hazmat Building To Be Shipped Off To Tci In Alabama (Fld983167891) As Pcb Contaminated Waste, Which Is Regulated Under The Toxic Substance Control Act (Tsca). If The Concentration Is Under 45 Ppm, And The Transformer Is Not Going To Be Reused, The Oil Is Kept Inside The Unit And Shipped To Tci. If The Transformer Is Able To Be Reused, And Does Not Come Back Hot, It Is Taken To The Transformer Shop To Be Touched Up, Repainted, And Put Back Into Service.
The Facility Also Generates Non-Pcb Used Oil From Various Machines, Which Is Brought Back To The Facility And Stored In 55-Gallon Drums (Photos 2-3). These Drums Were Not Labeled With The Words "Used Oil" [40 Cfr 279.22(D)].
Transformer Shop:
Transformers That Are Going To Be Put Back Into Service Are Brought To This Area For Minor Repair And Touch Up Work. Painting Is Performed In This Area Generating Waste Paint And Lacquer Thinner. The Facility Uses Interstate Chemical 3400 Lacquer Thinner In Its Painting Process And For Cleaning Its Guns. According To The Msds From The Manufacturer, 3400 Lacquer Thinner Contains 35-45% Toluene, 18-27% Acetone, 20-27% Methanol, 10-15% Mek, And Has A Flashpoint Of Less Than 60 Degrees Fahrenheit. The Dep Has Determined That Waste Paint And 3400 Lacquer Thinner From Cleaning Is A D001/F003/F005 Hazardous Waste. Waste Paint Is Stored In 55-Gallon Drums In The Paint Area (Photo 4). At The Time Of The Inspection, There Was One Full Drum Of Paint Waste And Another Was Approximately A Tenth Full. Both Were Closed. Acetone Is Used On Rags For Cleaning And Disposed Of To The Trash When Spent.
Used Oil Tanks:
The Facility Has Three Used Oil Tanks Located In The Northwest Corner Of The Hazmat Building. Used Oil With A Pcb Concentration Of Less Than 45 Ppm, And Only From Leaking Transformers Is Transfered Into These Tanks. The Transformers That Are Leaking Are Kept In Tarps During Transportation To The Hazmat Building. The Tarp And Transformer Are Set Into Large Metal Containment Pans (Photo 5) To Be Staged While Testing Is Performed. Once Testing Is Performed The Oil Is Either Pumped Into The Tanks Or Conainerized (If Hot) In 55-Gallon Drums To Be Shipped Of As A Tsca Regulated Waste.

-----------------------------------------------
This Building Is Divided Into Two Sections By A North-South Driveway That Is Used By Utility Trucks To Offload Transformers And Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment Pending Repairs Or Final Disposition. The Two Sections Are Constructed Approximately 12” Above The Driveway, Are Curbed To Provide Secondary Containment And Are Sealed With An Oil-Impermeable Coating. Jea’S John Whitten Participated During The Inspection Of The Hazmat Building.
Transformers Collected From The Field And Other Jea Facilities Are Brought To This Building To Determine Whether They Can Be Reused And To Sample The Oil Inside The Unit. If Transformers In The Field Are Leaking, They Are Placed Inside A Plastic Containment Tarp During Transport And Then Placed In Metal Drip Pans Inside This Building (Photo 1) Until They Can Be Inspected And The Oil Can Be Sampled. The Transformer Oil Is Sampled To Determine The Polychlorinated Biphenyl (Pcb) Concentration In The Oil. Pcb Concentrations In Oil Above Certain Levels Are Prohibited.
If The Oil Sample Comes Back "Hot" (I.E., Pcb Concentration >45 Ppm), The Transformer Is Placed In Another Section Of The Building Until It Can Be Shipped To Tci In Alabama (Ald 983 167 891) As Pcb-Contaminated Waste Which Is Regulated Under The Toxic Substance Control Act (Tsca). If The Oil In A Leaking Transformer Is Determined To Be “Hot,” The Oil Is Drained And Containerized In 55-Gallon Drums To Be Shipped-Off Site As A Tsca-Regulated Waste. The Drained Transformer Is Also Shipped To Tci.
If The Oil Concentration Is >2 Ppm And <45 Ppm, And The Transformer Can Be Reused, The Oil Is Drained And Stored In One Of Three Used Oil Storage Tanks Located On The North End Of The Building, And The Transformer Is Taken To The Transformer Shop, Described Below, To Be Repaired And Put Back Into Service. If The Transformer Cannot Be Reused, The Oil Is Drained Into One Of The Three Used Oil Storage Tanks, And The Drained Transformer Is Shipped To Tci. There Are Two 3,000 Gallon Tanks And One 8,000 Gallon Tank That Are Used To Store The Drained Used Oil Until The Oil Can Be Offered For Sale As Used Oil. Mr. Schumacher Stated That These Sales Usually Occur Once Per Year. The Used Oil Storage Tanks Are Located Within A Curbed Section Of The Building That Provides Secondary Containment For The Tanks. An Oil-Impermeable Coating Is On The Floor And Curbing.
The Facility Also Generates Non-Pcb Used Oil And Used Oil Filters From Maintenance Of Equipment At This And Other Jea Facilities. These Wastes Are Transported Back To This Facility And Stored In 55-Gallon Drums On The East Side Of The Building. There Were Numerous Drums Of Used Oil And Used Oil Filters Accumulating At The Time Of The Inspection (Photos 2 And 3), And All Of The Drums Were Properly Labeled. The Building Provides Secondary Containment.
On The West Side Of The Building Is A Bulb Crusher That Is Used For Spent Fluorescent Tubes And Other Types Of Used Bulbs That Are Collected From The Field. The Crusher Is Attached To The Top Of A 55-Gallon Satellite Accumulation Drum. The Bulb Crusher And The Drum Were Closed, And The Drum Was Properly Labeled. There Are Steps And A Platform In Front Of The Crusher For Access To The Top Of The Crusher Where The Bulbs Are Fed Into The Unit. Several Pieces Of Broken Bulbs Were Observed On The Platform That The Facility Had Not Cleaned-Up (Photo 4) [40 Cfr 273.13(D)(2)]. Bulbs Waiting To Be Crushed Are Contained In Cardboard Boxes Or 55-Gallon Drums Until They Can Be Crushed. At The Time Of The Inspection, There Were Five Boxes And Two 55-Gallon Drums Of Universal Waste Bulbs Accumulating. The Containers Were Closed And Properly Labeled And Had Been Accumulating For Less Than One Year.
