Thermal Treatment Of Petroleum-Contaminated Soil Is Another Permitted Activity. Cemex Is Also A Registered Used Oil Filter Transporter And Used Oil Filter Processor; However, These Activities Are Not Taking Place At This Time. Cemex Has Also Notified The Department As A Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator Of Hazardous Waste And As An Off-Specification Used Oil Burner. The Permitted Activities Are Situated On 300 Acres Of Land And There Is Additional Contiguous 3,000 Acres Designated For Limestone Quarrying. Cemex Was Formally Known As Rinker Materials Of Florida, Inc. From 1958 Through April 2009, And Employs Approximately 100 People. The Facility Currently Uses Septic Tanks And Uses Onsite Water Wells As Sources For Industrial And Treated Potable Water Supplies.
Compliance History
The Last Inspection Conducted On July 15, 2010, Revealed Several Minor Violations At The Facility. On October 8, 2010, The Department Notified Cemex That It Appeared The Facility Had Returned To Compliance Based On The Information Submitted. No Formal Enforcement Was Required By The Department To Achieve Compliance. | Cemex Primarily Receives On-Specification Used Oil, But Occasionally Receives Some Off-Specification Used Oil. The Off-Spec Used Oil Has A Flashpoint Less Than 100 Degrees F Due To Mixing With Diesel Fuel At Off-Site Suppliers. Used Oil Is Burned During Kiln Startups To Preheat The Kiln To 1900 Degrees F And May Also Be Burned As Supplemental Fuel, Such As During Coal Mill Problems. Some Used Oil Is Used As Fuel For The Contaminated Soil Thermal Treatment Kiln.
Used Oil Storage Tank Farm And Unloading Station
This Area Consists Of Two 600,000-Gallon Aboveground Used Oil Storage Tanks, A Tanker Truck Unloading Station, And Six 25,000-Gallon Aboveground Oily Water Storage Tanks That Are Inactive. All Tanks Were Labeled "Used Oil". Used Oil Is Unloaded From Trucks And Transferred Via Pumps To The Tanks. Used Oil Pump Filter Residue Is Mixed With The Contaminated Soil For Processing. Oily Water From The Truck Unloading Containment Area Is Removed By Cliff Berry, Inc. (Cbi).
Kiln Feed Tank
The Kiln Feed Tank (Day Tank) Is A 30,000-Gallon Horizontal Steel Tank Used To Store Used Oil Fuel For The Kiln. It Was Labeled "Used Oil" And Lies Within A Covered, Concrete Secondary Containment Area. A Small Container Under A Pipeline Filter Was Labeled As 'Waste Oil" Instead Of "Used Oil". This Area Also Had One 55-Sallon Drum Of Used Oil, One 55-Gallon Drum Of Oily Rags And Four 5-Gallon Used Oil Collection Containers. A Safety-Kleen Parts Washer Is Located Within The Secondary Containment Area And Is Seldom Used. Any Oily Water That Collects In This Secondary Containment Area Is Removed By Cbi. The Inspectors Observed Used Oil That Had Been Absorbed With Oil Dry Material Under The Tank. Based On Information Provided By Cemex In An Email Dated 02/22/2012, The Spilled Used Oil Was Caused By A Leak In The Used Oil Recirculation Pipeline Above The Kiln Tank, And The Leak Will Be Repaired During The Next Kiln Shutdown In March 2012.
New Oil Drum Storage And Equipment Wash Area
This Area Had One 55-Gallon Drum Of Used Oil Filters, One 55-Gallon Drum Of Empty Aerosol Cans, One 55-Gallon Drum Of Oily Rags, One 55-Gallon Drum Of Empty Grease Canisters, And Seven 300-Gallon Plastic Totes Of Used Oil. All Containers Were Properly Labeled. This Area Also Has An Equipment Was |

| The Facility Was Not In Compliance At The Time Of The Inspection And Was Given 21 Days To Return To Compliance. | The Facility Tour Only Revealed A Few Small Compliance Issues. The First Issue Noted Concerned A Drum Of Used Oil Situated Underneath The Used Oil Tank For The Kiln. It Was An Open Top 55-Gallon Drum Labeled "Used Oil" Which Was Not Properly Closed As The Ring Around The Top Was Not Fastened. This Could Have Resulted In An Accidental Spill; However, The Impact Would Be Minimal, As The Drum Was Situated Within The Secondary Containment For The Large Used Oil Tank.
In The Equipment Wash Area Were Several Drums For Oily Rags And Used Oil Filters That Had Appropriate Labels On Them But Also Had Older Labels Visible Indicating That The Containers Held Different Contents.
Located In The Quarry Maintenance Area Were Several Drain Pans With Used Oil In Them And One 55-Gallon Drum That Were All Labeled "Waste Oil."
The Last Issue That Was Encountered During The Actual Facility Inspection Was Noted In The Hazardous Waste Storage Area. The Only Drum That Was In This Area Didn'T Have The Facility'S Epa Id Number In The Appropriate Area On The Label.
Record Review
There Were A Few Recordkeeping Issues Noted During This Inspection. The First Concerned The Disposition Of Their Mercury Containing Lamps. The Facility Was Having Them Picked Up By Vieola But Couldn'T Produce Certificates Of Recycling At The Time Of The Inspection. The Facility Could Not Prove That The Latest Revision Of Its Contingency Plan Had Been Distributed To Local Authorities. The Department'S Contacts On Their Emergency Response Contact List Had Not Been Updated Since The Department'S Reorganization And The Department'S Address Also Needed To Be Updated. The Inspector Supplied The Facility With The Address Correction And Promised To Forward The New Organizational Chart Upon Their Return To The Office.

Used Oil Is The Main Fuel Used For Firing The Cement Kiln But The Facility Is Also Using Wood And Tire Fluff, As Fuel Alternatives. The Facility Already Has Natural Gas Lines Hooked Up At The Plant But They Haven'T Been Connected To Kiln Due To Initial Installation Cost. Cemex Is Also A Registered Used Oil Filter Transporter And Used Oil Filter Processor; However, This Activity Is Not Taking Place At This Time. The Permitted Activities Are Situated On 300 Acres Of Land And There Is Additional Contiguous 3000 Acres Designated For Limestone Quarrying. Cemex Employs Approximately 100 People And Is Connected To County Water And Septic Tanks.
Compliance History
This Visit Was A Routine Compliance Evaluation Inspection; The District Is Obligated To Inspect Each Of Their Used Oil Processors At Least Every Other Year. Cemex Is Permitted Because Of The Amount Of Used Oil That Is Stored Onsite. The Last Two Inspections Were Conducted On December 19, 2011 And March 20, 2013, Respectively. Each Of These Inspections Revealed Only Minor Violations And In Each Case, The Facility Return To Compliance Without Enforcement.
| The Facility Was Not In Compliance At The Time Of The Inspection And Was Given 14 Days To Return To Compliance. On March 10, 2015, The Department Received A Compliance Submittal From Cemex That Provided Documentation Demonstrating The Facility Had Returned To Compliance From The Issues That Were Noted During The February 24, 2015 Inspection. | The Facility Tour Only Revealed Two Small Compliance Issues. Out At The Facility'S Maintenance Shop, That Is Associated With The Quarry, There Was A Pallet Of Batteries That Was Sitting Out In The Open And Unprotected From The Elements. The Other Issue Was Related To The Laboratory Waste That Is Created Onsite. It Is Stored In A Three Sided Concrete Enclosure With A Roof Which Has An Entrance Consisting Of A Locked Chain Link Fence. Since The Facility Representative Didn'T Have A Key To The Enclosure With Him, The Drum Was Observed Through The Fence. From That Vantage Point, It Appeared That The Drum Was Not Properly Closed And A Funnel Had Been Left In The Bung Hole.
Record Review
There Was Only One Recordkeeping Issue Noted. The Facility Had Recently Purchased An Aerosol Can Puncturer And Was Combining The Waste Paints And Solvents From Their Aerosols Cans To Be Shipped Offsite As Hazardous Waste. They Were Also Collecting The Empty Cans For Metal Recycling. However; The Facility Couldn'T Produce Any Documents From The Last Three Years To Account For The Shipment Of "Non-Rcra Empty" Aerosol Cans As Hazardous Waste Prior To The Purchase Of The Puncturer.
