Site Inspection |
Routine; CESQG (<100 kg/month) - Routine; Used Oil Transporter - Routine; Used Oil Generator - Routine; VSQG (<100 kg/month) Ring Power Was Inspected On December 30, 2010, As An Unannounced Hazardous Waste Compliance Evaluation Inspection. The Facility Last Notified The Dep In April Of 2010 That It Was Operating As A Used Oil Transporter And A Small Quantity Generator Of Hazardous Waste. The Facility Has Never Before Been Inspected, And Is Currently Operating As A Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (Cesqg) And A Used Oil Generator. The Facility Has Been Operating At This Address For Approximately Six Years And Has 53 Employees. The Facility Is Connected To The City Sewer.
This Ring Power Location Specializes In The Sales And Service Of Lift Trucks. The Facility Consists Of A Paint Shop, Service Center, Used Oil Storage Area, A Storage/Metal Shop, And Offices. Mr. Marcel Meyer, Service Manager, And Mr. Lewis Byers, Vice President Of Product Support, Were Both Present Throughout The Inspection.
| Used Oil Transportation
--------------------------------
The Facility Services Lift Trucks In The Field And Then Transports The Used Oil Generated From That Operation Back To Its Facility At 8040 Philips Hwy. Mr. Meyer Stated That The Facility Transports No More Than 10 Gallons Of Used Oil Per Day And Less Than 500 Gallons Per Year. These Totals Fall Below The Definition Of A Used Oil Transporter, As Defined In Section 62-710.201, Fac. Since The Facility Does Not Currently Meet The Definition Of A Used Oil Transporter, The Facility Is Not Required To Comply With Used Oil Transportation Rules. Should The Facility Begin Transporting More Than 55 Gallons Of Used Oil At One Time, The Facility Will Be Required To Comply With The
Following: The Facility Must Annually Register Its Used Oil Transportation Activities With The Dep, It Must Display The Used Oil Transporter Registration In A Prominent Place At The Facility, And It Must Maintain Proof Of Financial Responsibility According To Rule 62-710.600(2)(E), Fac. Though It Was Not Required At The Time Of The Inspection, The Facility Was In Compliance With These Used Oil Transportation Requirements. The Used Oil Generated In The Field Is Added To The Facility'S Used Oil Tank.
Paint Shop
------------------
The Facility Paints One To Two Lift Vehicles Per Week On-Site. Ring Power Uses Mostly Black And Cat Yellow Paints. Spray Guns Are Cleaned Using Grow Automotive Het 1501 Premium Wash Thinner (10-30% Methanol, 10-30% Toluene, 6° F Flash Point), And The D001/F003/F005 Hazardous Waste Paint/Thinner Is Placed Into A 5-Gallon Container For Accumulation. At The Time Of The Inspection, The 5-Gallon Container Was Labeled "Used Paint Thinner," But The Lid On The Container Would Not Seal Closed Due To Paint Build Up On The Rim (Photo 1). This Is An Area Of Concern. The Facility Purchased A Drum To Use As Its Paint/Thinner Waste Container, But Was Waiting To Use The Drum Until The Facility Could Install A Self-Closing Funnel. According To Mr. Byers And Mr. Meyer, The Facility Began Painting Only About A Year Ago And It Generates Only Approximately 5 Gallons Of Waste Paint/Thinner Per Year.
Service Center
----------------------
General Maintenance On Lift Vehicles Is Performed In This Area. The Facility Operates Two Model 33 Safety-Kleen Parts Washers In The Service Center, Which Are Serviced By Safety-Kleen Every Eight Weeks. The Facility Is On Safety-Kleen'S Continuous Use Program.
One Used Oil Drain Pan Within The Service Center Was Not Properly Labeled (Photo 2) [40 Cfr 279.22(C)(1)]. In Addition, One Used Oil Filter Bucket Was Not Properly Labeled (Photo 3) [Rule 62-710.850(5)(A), Fac]. Adjacent To This Bucket Were Seven Used Oil Filters That Were Not Within A Properly Labeled Container (See Photo 3) [Rule 62-710.850(5)(A), Fac].
The Facility'S Rags Are Laundered Through Cintas, And Its Waste Batteries Are Recycled Through The Supplier.
