Hcc Has Never Before Been Inspected At Either Location And Is Currently Operating At Its New Facility At 11643 103rd Street As A Hazardous Waste Transporter/Transfer Facility, A Used Oil Transporter/Transfer Facility, A Used Oil Filter Transporter, And A Universal Waste Transporter. Hcc No Longer Occupies Space At Its Old Location On Pickettville Road, But Was Previously Operating There As A Hazardous Waste Transporter/Transfer Facility, Used Oil Transporter, And Universal Waste Transporter. According To Mr. Troy Strause, Jacksonville Branch Manager, Hcc Began Operations At Its New Location Approximately Three Months Prior To The Inspection. Mr. Strause Was Present Throughout The Inspection. | Hcc Is An Environmental Services Company, Which Offers Parts Washer Servicing, Hazardous And Non-Hazardous Waste Collection, And Used Oil And Used Oil Filter Collection. Hcc Provides Solvent And Aqueous Parts Washers And Other Cleaning Machines, Such As Paint Gun Cleaners And Immersion Cleaners, For Sale Or Lease To Their Customers. Hcc Offers Two Types Of Parts Washers, The First Has A 142° F Flash Point Solvent And Is Referred To As "High Flash Non-Hazardous Solvent" By Hcc. According To Mr. Strause, This Solvent Is Collected From Customers And Is Then Shipped Somewhere To Be "Recycled" And Then Sold Back To The Customer As New Solvent. The Other Parts Washer Has A 106° F Flash Point Solvent And Is On Hcc'S "Re-Use" Policy. According To Mr. Strause, Hcc'S Jacksonville Branch Is Currently Only Providing The "High Flash Non-Hazardous" Solvent To Its Customers. Containers Of Hazardous Waste And Containers Of Non-Hazardous High Flash Mineral Spirits Picked Up From Hcc'S Customers Are Transferred Directly From The Route Trucks Onto An Unhitched Storage Trailer. At Least Every Ten Days, Trailers With New Product And Supplies Are Brought Into The Facility, And The Waste Trailers Are Attached To The Truck Cab And Transported To Hcc'S Hub In Atlanta, Georgia. The 103rd Street Facility Includes Some Office And Warehouse Space, But No Transfer Operations Or Storage Takes Place Inside The Building. All Of The Facility'S Employees Are Dispatched On Service Routes For The Majority Of The Day. The Facility Is Surrounded On Three Sides (East, West, And North) By Trees And On The South Side Of The Facility By A Fence. The Facility Provides No Surveillance, And The Entrance Gate Remains Open During Business Hours, Even When No Hcc Employees Are Present On-Site. The Entrance Gate Is Locked At Night. Failure To Provide 24-Hour Surveillance Or A Physical Barrier Or Fence Which Completely Surrounds The Active Portion Of The Facility Is A Violation Of 40 Cfr 265.14(A). The Facility Failed To Post The Appropriate Warning Signs On The South Fence, Which Is A Violation Of 40 Cfr 265.14(C). There Were Three Semi-Trailers Present During The Inspection, Two Of Which Contained Product And Supplies. The Third Trailer Contained Non-Hazardous Wastes For Disposal. No Hazardous Wastes Were Present On-Site During The Inspection; However, Hazardous Wastes Are Frequently On-Site. The Trailers Were Parked On The South Side Of The Facility Parallel To The Fence. According To The Duval County Property Appraisers Website, The Property Line Runs Just North Of This Area, Between The Fence And The Building, And The Storage Trailers Appear To Be On City Of Jacksonville Property (Photo 1) (Attachment 1 - Property Line Map). The Storage Of Ignitable Waste Within 50 Feet From The Property Line Is A Violation Of 40 Cfr 265.176. The Facility Did Not Post The Required "No Smoking" Signs In The Waste Storage Area, Which I

A Site Visit Was Also Conducted On May 31, 2018, For Records Review. Hcc Was Last Inspected By Both The Usepa'S And The Department'S Hazardous Waste Program On June 6, 2014, And By The Department'S Hazardous Waste Program On June 1, 2009. Mr. Ricky Powell, Warehouseman, Was Present During The Inspection On May 8, And Mr. Kevin Falls, General Manager, Was Present During The May 31 Visit. Mr. Vinnie Glorioso, Hcc Regional Manager, Participated By Phone During A Portion Of The May 31 Site Visit. Hcc Is A Registered Used Oil Transporter/Transfer Facility, A Used Oil Filter Transporter/Transfer Facility, A Hazardous Waste Transporter/Transfer Facility And A Universal Waste Transfer Facility. Hcc Is Currently A Non-Handler Of Hazardous Waste. The Facility Has Been Issued Epa/Dep Identification Number Flr 000 154 278. Please Use This Number On All Correspondence With The Department'S Hazardous Waste Program. Hcc Has Been At This Location Since 2009. Hcc Leases Approximately One Acre Of A Seven-Acre Parcel That Is Owned By Group Iv Cecil, Inc., Based In Jacksonville, Fl. The Facility Is Connected To A Private Water Supply And City Sewer. It Operates Three Used Oil Vacuum Trucks, One Fuel-Only Pump Truck And Three Box Trucks. The Facility'S Vehicle Fleet Is Maintained Off-Site By A Third-Party Vendor. Hcc Has Eight Employees, Including Five Drivers, And Operates Monday Through Friday From 6:00 Am To 5:00 Pm. The Facility Consists Of Administrative Offices, A Main Warehouse, A Truck Parking Lot And The Waste Transfer Area. | Used Oil Transporter And Transfer Facility ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hcc Transports Used Oil In Vacuum Trucks That Return To The Facility At The End Of The Work Shift And Park In The Truck Parking Lot Described Below. When The Vacuum Truck Is Full, The Vacuum Truck Transports The Used Oil To The Jacksonville Transflo Facility (Transflo, Fld 984 253 526) Where It Is Loaded Onto A Rail Car And Shipped To Hcc'S Facility In Atlanta, Ga (Gar 000 078 279) For Processing. According To Mr. Falls, Used Oil Is Transferred To Transflo Two To Three Times Each Week. Occasionally, A Truck That Is Not Empty Will Be Parked At The Facility Over A Weekend And Longer Than 24-Hours. The Truck Parking Lot Is Unsealed Asphalt, Loose Limerock And Dirt, Is Not Oil-Impermeable And Does Not Have Secondary Containment [62-710.401(6), Fac]. Hcc Also Transports Oily Water Collected From Customers To Liquid Environmental Solutions Of Florida (Fld 981 928 484) For Processing. Mr. Falls Stated That New Customers Are Required To Complete A “Generator Certification” Form Upon Requesting Service. The Form Requires The Customer To Identify Its Hazardous Waste Generator Category And Epa Id, If Applicable, And To Certify That Its Used Oil Meets The Definition Of Used Oil Contained In 40 Cfr 279. Hcc Uses This Form To Determine Whether A Customer Has An Epa Id Number And To Determine The Frequency That Hcc Performs Used Oil Halogen Screening Prior To Transport. Mr. Falls Stated That Used Oil Generated During Automotive Repair/Maintenance Work Is Screened With Chlor-D-Tect Kits Prior To Pick-Up From First-Time Customers And Then It Is Only Screened Approximately Every Six Months Thereafter. Used Oil Generated During Industrial-Related Work Is Screened Prior To Each Pick-Up. Because Every Load From Some Customers Is Not Screened Every Time, Hcc Failed To Screen All Used Oil Prior To Transport [40 Cfr 279.44(A)]. A Used Oil Sample Is Collected From Each Customer And A Batch Sample Is Collected From The Vacuum Truck Prior To Transferring The Used Oil To Transflo. The Samples Are Kept In The Main Warehouse (Photo 1), Described Below, For Three Months In Case The Receiving Facility In Atlanta Requests Lab Analysis. After Three Months, The Used Oil Is Emptied Into One Of Two Used Oil Containers Located Inside The M

The Facility'S Vehicle Fleet Is Maintained Off-Site By A Third-Party Vendor. Hcc Has Nine Employees, Including Six Drivers, And Operates Monday Through Friday From 6:00 Am To 5:00 Pm. The Facility Consists Of Administrative Offices, A Main Warehouse, A Truck Parking Lot, And The Waste Transfer Area. | Used Oil Transporter And Transfer Facility Operations Hcc Transports Used Oil In Vacuum Trucks That Return To The Facility At The End Of The Work Shift And Park In The Truck Parking Lot Described Below. When The Vacuum Truck Is Full, The Vacuum Truck Transports The Used Oil To Jacksonville Transflo Terminal (Transflo, Fld984253526) Where It Is Loaded Onto A Rail Car And Shipped To Hcc'S Facility In Atlanta, Ga (Gar000078279) For Processing.
