Routine; Transporter Tampa Transflo Terminal Is A Rail To Truck And Truck To Rail Transfer Facility For Bulk Commodities, Including Used Oil And Hazardous Waste Fuel. This Inspection Was Conducted In Conjunction With A Npdes Storm Water Inspection, And A Copy Of That Report Is Filed Under The Npdes Facility Id, Flr05f806. The Terminal Consists Of 10 Rail Sidings With A Total Capacity Of 109 Cars. On March 11, 2013, Operation Of The Facility Was Transferred From Kinder Morgan To Arrow Material Services, And The New Terminal Manager, Kevin Roberts Provided Information During This Inspection. The Facility Has About 14 Employees, And Operates Five Days Per Week, Or On Saturdays If The Customer Arranges For It. Csx Provides Rail Service To The Terminal. The Facility Has Been In Operation Since Before The Legislature Adopted Restrictions On Siting Hazardous Waste Transfer Facilities, And Is Not Subject To That Restriction. | The Facilitiy Handles Both Liquid And Solid Materials, Including Hazardous Waste Fuel, Used Oil, Sulfuric Acid, Fluosilicic Acid, Lp Gas, Hydrogen Peroxide, Toluene, Cement, Quicklime, Alumina, Fly Ash, Herbicide Formulations Containing Round-Up, Magnesium Hydroxide, Limestone, Perlite, Plastic Pellets Used In Injection Molding And Other Bulk Commodities. The Facility Only Handles Liquid Hazardous Waste At This Time. In Addition To The Sidings, The Property Holds An Office Building, A Small Maintenance Shed And Truck Scales Located On The East Side Of The Facility. Collected Storm Water Is Discharged From Two Outfalls, 001 On The East Side And 002 On The South Side Of The Facility. Water And Sewer Service Is Provided By The City Of Tampa.
Used Oil Is Transported To The Facility By Safety-Kleen. At The Time Of This Inspection, Three Rail Cars Had Been Delivered For Loading. Track Pans Were Placed Under Each Car. Transfer Of Liquids Is Through Equipment That Is Bolted To The Tanker. Used Oil Is Not Held On Site For More Than 35 Days. According To Mr. Roberts, Heritage Crystal Clean Also Transferred Used Oil Into Rail Cars At This Location In The Past, However That Activity Ceased When Heritage Acquired Fcc Environmental Services In Plant City. At This Time, Safety Kleen Is Transferring The Oil To The Company'S East Chicago Facility, Ind077042034 For Processing. The Shipping Documents For The Material Describe It As "Non Dot Regulated Material." Information Will Be Requested From Safety Kleen Regarding How The Combustibility Of The Oil Is Determined, As The Company Is Not A Used Oil Processor And Accepts Oil That Has Been Mixed With Flammable Liquids Such As Gasoline At Times.
Hazardous Waste Fuel (Commodity Fibk) Is Transported To The Facility By Clean Harbors. Typically Four Tanker Loads Will Fill A Car, And Only One Car Is Loaded At A Time. The Loading Is Generally Accomplished Within A Week, And Waste Never Remains On Site For Ten Days. A Track Pan Provides Containment. Manifests For The Received Waste Were Signed By Transflo Staff. The Current Destination Facility Receiving The Fuel Is Ash Grove Cement Company In Chanute, Ks, Facility Id Ksd031203318.
Manifests From Clean Harbors Were On File, Indicating The Csx\Transflo Was The Second Transporter. This Line Used The Transflo Facility Identification Number, And Csx'S Transporter Identification Number Was Not Included On The Manifests. Instead, The Manifests Indicated A Direct Transfer To The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Rail Line (Bnsf), Mnd048341788. Csx And Transflo Are Separate Corporations, And Should Not Have Been Designated As One Entity On The Manifests. If Transflo Is Accepting Custody Of The Waste On Behalf Of Csx, Then Csx Should Have Been The Designated Second Transporter. If Csx Does Not Accept Custody Of The Waste Until It Leaves The Transflo Property, Csx Must Be Listed As The Third Transporter. Transflo May Still Be Authorized To Sign The Manifest On Behalf Of Csx. In A Letter Submitted After The Inspection, Jan Barnes Of Transflo I |
