Shop Area
The Facility Uses The Shop Area To Store Products And Tools And To Perform Light Maintenance Work.
Fleet Maintenance Is Performed On-Site For All Of The Company'S Trucks. Used Oil Is Drained Into A Small Catch Pan, Which Was Not Labeled (Photo 1). Failure To Label Containers Storing Used Oil Is A Violation Of 40 Cfr 279.22(C)(1). Mr. Snow Added A Used Oil Label To This Container During The Inspection (Photo 2). According To Mr. Snow, Used Oil Is Disposed Of By Adding The Used Oil To The Facility'S Rags And Oil Dry. The Oil Is Then Sent To Ecoflo Se, Inc. For Disposal In A Landfill, Which Is A Violation Of Rule 62-710.401(3), Fac. Also According To Mr. Snow, Used Oil Filters Are Also Placed In With The Facility¿S Rags For Disposal Through Ecoflo, Which Is A Violation Of Rule 62-710.850(1), Fac. After The Inspection, The Facility Submitted Documentation On 9/24/08, Stating That Used Oil And Used Oil Filters Would No Longer Be Mixed In With The Facility'S Rags And Oil Dry But, Instead, Would Be Disposed Of By Recycling Through A Permitted Facility.
Frequently, The Facility Will Clean Heat Exchangers, Which Are Scaled With Calcium Deposits, With Hydrochloric Acid (Hcl). The Heat Exchangers Are Made Of Copper Nickel And Copper And Are Pulled From Compressed Air Systems, Oil Systems, And Ultra-Pure Demineralized Water Systems. According To Mr. Snow, The Waste Hcl Is Neutralized Before Disposal. There Were Two 55-Gallon Poly-Drums Of Neutralized Hcl On-Site During The Inspection. A Ph Paper Test Of One Of The Drums Confirmed That The Waste Had Been Neutralized. The Neutralized Hcl Is Disposed Of With Ecoflo.
The Facility Also Offers A Water Purifying Service To Mayport Carriers. Sun Coast Has Four 2-Vessel Demineralizers For This Purpose. To Regenerate The Demineralizers, The Facility Will Flush The First Vessel With Hcl And The Second Vessel With Naoh. The Two Solutions Then Mix Together, Forming Salt Water. According To Mr. Snow, The Facility Has Received Permission From The City Of Atlantic Beach To Dump The Waste Saltwater Into The Sewer System.
