Operations Manager Gerry Mccormick, Jr., Provided Information On The Current Business Operations For This Inspection. This Facility Operates On Land And Docks Leased From The Port Of Tampa, Off Causeway Blvd. Company Operations Primarily Focus On Providing Services To Vessels And Bulk Terminals At The Port. Wastes From These Operations That Are Not Immediately Transferred Off Site Are Stored On A Single Hulled Company Barge, The Crystal River, And Allowed To Phase Separate. Wastes Are Transferred To Des For Final Treatment. Dmt Plans To Cease Using This Barge When Its Coast Guard Certification Lapses, And Double Hull Requirements Are Effective. | Diversified Marine Tech Operates A Number Of Vessels, Used For Its Repair And Service Operations, Including A Shop Barge, A Crane Barge And Two Small Tugs, The Cindy E And The Mariella. The Crystal River Is The Only Vessel Used For Waste Storage. The Barges Elk River And Cottee River Are No Longer Owned By The Company. In Addition, The Company Has Several Other Vessels Docked, Either Under Repair Or Being Held For Sale Or Scrapping. These Include The Peggy Palmer, Formerly Used To Haul Coal For Tampa Electric, And Several Tugs And A Ship Formerly Used As A Shuttle For Fun Cruises. A Frac Tank And Several Tankers Parked At The Property Were Empty At The Time Of The Inspection. Used Oil Is Not Held More Than 24 Hours On Land At The Facility. However, Frac Tanks May Be Used To Store Fuel Removed From Vessels That Is To Be Returned To The Same Vessel After Cleaning, Repairs And/Or Inspections Are Complete.
Oil That Separates From The Bilge Waste In The Crystal River Is Skimmed And Transferred To Tank Trailers Operated By Des And Taken To The Des Facility For Processing. Waste Water Is Also Treated At Des For Discharge To The City Of Tampa'S Howard Curran Wastewater Treatment Facility. Waste Oil Is Screened For Halogens By Des According To The Company'S Written Screening Procedure, And Records Are Kept Of Screening Results And Waste Transfers. In Some Cases, The Epa Identification Numbers Of The Facilities Providing Or Receiving Oil Was Not Recorded. This Was Discussed With Mr. Mccormick During The Inspection, And He Has Agreed To Ensure This Information Is Recorded Correctly Going Forward.
Dmt'S Services Mainly Generate Bilge Waste And Tank Cleanout Waste, Waste Fuel And Used Oil. Ship Repair Services Focus On Mechanical And Electrical Repairs.

Chemicals Were Stored In Appropriate Containment, Inside The Shop Building On Site. A Labeled Drum Was Available For Collection Of Paint Waste. A Small Empty Fuel Tank Was Noted In A Separate Roofed Storage Bay. This Is Intended For Scrap. | Based On The Results Of This Inspection, Diversified Marine Tech Was Found To Be Out Of Compliance With Used Oil Recordkeeping Requirements, And This Was Corrected Subsequent To The Inspection. | Edits Made | Submitted For Approval By Knauss, Elizabeth |
