Routine; CESQG (<100 kg/month) - Routine; Used Oil Transporter - Routine; Used Oil Generator - Routine; VSQG (<100 kg/month) Ring Power Was Inspected On September 16, 2013, As An Unannounced Hazardous Waste Compliance Evaluation Inspection (Cei). Ring Power Notified The Department'S Hazardous Waste Section As A Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (Cesqg) In March 2011, And Updated Its Used Oil Transporter Registration In April 2013. The Facility Was Last Inspected By The Department'S Hazardous Waste Section On September 15, 2006. At The Time Of The Current Inspection, The Facility Was Operating As A Cesqg Of Hazardous Waste, A Used Oil Transporter, And A Used Oil Transfer Facility.
The Facility Has Been Issued The Epa/Dep Identification Number Fld 981 480 205. Please Use This Number On All Correspondence With The Department'S Hazardous Waste Section.
Ring Power Is A Heavy Equipment Dealer That Performs Routine Maintenance And Repair To Heavy Equipment. The Facility Also Provides Field Services Including Maintenance And Repair Of Equipment, Equipment Installation, And Owner/Operator Training To Industrial And Agricultural Businesses. The Facility Has Been At This Location For Approixmately 20 Years, Is On City Water, Well Water, And Septic, And Has Four Service Technicians.
The Facility Consists Of A Washrack Area, A Maintenance Shop, And Offices.
| Washrack:
________
When Equipment Is Returned From Rental Use, It Is Taken To The Washrack To Be Cleaned (Photo 1). Dirt Is Removed From The Equipment Using A Pressure Washer With Water. The Dirt Is Shoveled Into An Adjacent Shed Where It Is Accumulated And After Testing For Rcra Heavy Metals, The Non-Hazardous Dirt Is Incinerated Or Sent To A Landfill (Photo 2). The Facility Test And Disposes Of This Waste Stream Once Every Four To Five Years.
After Dirt Has Been Removed, The Equipment Is Washed Using A Non-Hazardous Soap To Remove Grease And Oil From The Equipment. The Oily Washwater Is Directed To An Adjacent Sump Where The Water Is Evaporated (Photo 3). During A Heavy Rainfall Event, Overflow Water Is Directed To A Nearby Detention Pond. This Is An Area Of Concern Because Of The Potential For A Used Oil Release To The Ground. Dep Inspectors, Joseph Emery And Kyle Watson, From The Department'S Wastewater Section Met With Dave Strickland, Environmental Manager, And Johnny Batton, Shop Leadman, On-Site To Discuss Whether The Washrack System Required A Permit Or Other Best Management Practices (Bmps). The Concern Was Forwarded To The Suwannee Water Management District For Their Review.
Dirt In The Sump Is Occasionally Removed And Placed Into The Shed Where It Is Tested Prior To Being Incinerated Or Sent To A Landfill As Described Above.
Maintenance Shop
_______________
In The Maintenance Shop, Routine Maintenance And Repairs Are Performed On Customer Equipment, Rental Equipment, And Facility Equipment. Used Oil Generated From Routine Maintenance Is Collected In Used Oil Catch Pans And Pumped Into The Facility'S 500-Gallon Double-Walled Used Oil Tank. The Tank Was Labeled "Used Oil" (Photo 4).
Used Oil Filters Are Drained Into A Used Oil Container And Then Placed Into A 55-Gallon Drum For Accumulation. Three 55-Gallon Drums Were Accumulating, And All Were Properly Labeled With The Words "Used Oil Filters" (Photo 5). Used Oil And Used Oil Filters Are Recycled Through Fcc Environmental. Spent Antifreeze Is Collected In A 250-Gallon Tote, And It Is Recycled Through Fcc Environmental. The Facility Has Three 30-Gallon Safety Kleen Petroleum Naphtha Parts Washers (Photo 6). The Parts Washers Are Serviced By Safety Kleen Every Eight Weeks Under Safety Kleen'S Continued Use Program.
The Facility Has One Glove Box Sand Blasting Unit That Has Bag Filters (Photo 7). This Unit Is Used Approximately Once Per Month To Blast Rust And Staining From Small Parts And Tools. Glassbeads Are Used As Blast Grit, And The Filter Bags Have Not Yet Been Changed. The Facility Should Perform A Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (Tclp) For Rcra Metal |
