Routine; CESQG (<100 kg/month) - Routine; Used Oil Transporter - Routine; Used Oil Transfer Facility - Routine; Used Oil Generator - Routine; VSQG (<100 kg/month) Ring Power Corporation - Lake City (Ring Power) Was Inspected On February 3, 2009, As An Unannounced Hazardous Waste Compliance Inspection. The Facility Notified The Department As A Small Quantity Generator (Sqg) On June 24, 2005, And Was Last Inspected On September 11, 2008. This Report Pertains To Both Inspections. The Facility Is Currently Operating As A Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (Cesqg). The Facility Also Maintains Registration As A Used Oil Transporter, Used Oil Transfer Facility, Used Oil Filter Transporter, And Used Oil Filter Transfer Facility. The Current Registration Expires On June 30, 2009. The Facility Has Approximately 30 Employees And Has Been In Operation Since 1991. | Ring Power Has Been Assigned The Epa Identification Number: Fld 984 206 854. Please Use This Number On All Hazardous Waste Manifests And On All Correspondence With The Dep. | Maintenance Areas
-------------------------------------
The Facility Is Comprised Of Three Distinct Maintenance Areas: A Truck Shop, A Heavy Equipment Shop, And A Rental Shop. Although Different Types Of Equipment Are Maintained In These Areas, Waste Streams And Waste Management Are Similar. Maintenance Operations Generate Used Oil, Used Oil Filters, And Waste Antifreeze. Used Oil Is Collected In Mobile Containers And Then Pumped To A 500-Gallon, Labeled, Used Oil Tank Located Within Secondary Containment. One Mobile Used Oil Container In The Truck Shop Was Not Labeled With The Words "Used Oil." During A Prior Inspection, On September 11, 2008, A Dep Inspector Had Similarly Identified One Used Oil Collection Container Not Labeled. A Facility That Generates Used Oil That Does Not Label Or Clearly Mark The Containers Or Aboveground Storage Tanks (Asts) That Contain Used Oil With The Words "Used Oil" Is In Violation Of 40 Code Of Federal Regulations (Cfr) 279.22(C)(1). The Violation Was Corrected During The Inspection. Used Oil Filters And Waste Antifreeze Are Accumulated In Labeled 55-Gallon Drums. Used Oil, Used Oil Filters, Waste Antifreeze, And Used Oil Absorbents Are Recycled Through Synergy Recycling, Llc. Oily Rags Are Collected In Kick-Cans And Laundered By Cintas. Three System-One Parts Cleaners Are Located In The Truck Shop And Three Are In The Heavy Equipment Shop. These Are Maintained By Safety-Kleen. The Sludge Is Collected In A Closed 55-Gallon Drum Labeled, "System One Sludge." When Disposed Of, The Sludge Is Manifested As D006/D007/D008 Hazardous Waste. If Safety-Kleen Changes The Solvent Within The Parts Washers, It Is Recycled Through Their Continued Use Program. All Of The Drains In And Around The Truck Shop Lead To A Sump Which Is Ran Through The Wash Rack (Described Below). The Facility Has Developed An Aerosol Can Collection Program. This Was Noted As An Area Of Concern During The Previous September 11, 2008 Inspection. Used Lead Acid Batteries Are Transported To The Parts Department Where They Are Collected For Transport To The St. Augustine Ring Power Facility, And Eventually, Recycled Through East Penn Batteries. Scrap Metal Is Recycled Through Tri-County Metals. No Painting Is Performed On-Site; All Paint Work Is Referred To The St. Augustine Ring Power Facility.
Wash Rack
----------------------------------------
The Facility Operates A 100% Closed Loop Recycling System For High Pressure Washing Of Equipment. [See Attached Photo]. Approximately Two To Four Vehicles Are Washed In This Area Per Day. This Area Is Permitted By The State Of Florida Dep Industrial Wastewater Facility Permit Number Fla017322. The Facility Occasionally Uses An Alkaline Solvent, Hydrosolve 4165 In This Area (Ph 13) Which Is Sprayed On Undiluted Prior To The Vehicle Being Pressure Washed. Wastewater Flows From A Concrete Wash Pad To A Collection Area Which Filters Solid Materials And Directs The Wastewater To An Oil-Water Separator. The Solid Material Is Removed, As Necessary, Dried And Accumulated For Disposa |
