Administrative Offices And Warehouse
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Office Area And Warehouse Are Located In The Same Building. The Warehouse Area Is Used For The Storage Of Parts, Materials And Equipment (Photo 1). Mr. Moats Stated That No Vehicle Maintenance Is Performed On-Site, And That No Used Oil, Used Oil Filters, Or Hazardous Waste Is Generated At The Facility. A Flammable Locker Was Observed In The Warehouse That Was Used For Storage Of Product Fuels, And Aerosol Paints And Lubricants (Photos 2 And 3). Subsequent To The Inspection, A Hepaco Representative Provided Clarifying Information That Hepaco Utilizes Aerosol Products Primarily At Its Client Sites, And Any Waste Generated From Use Of Aerosols Is Managed By The Client. No Aerosol Cans Were Observed In The Trash At The Time Of The Inspection. However, The Facility Is Reminded That Spent Aerosol Cans May Contain Liquid Product And/Or Flammable Propellants Which Can Cause The Aerosol Can To Be A D001 And/Or Other Hazardous Waste. Additionally, Aerosol Cans With Broken Or Clogged Nozzles May Be Considered A Hazardous Waste. Unless An Aerosol Can Is Completely Empty Of Both Liquid And Propellent, As Defined In 40 Cfr 261.7, It Should Not Be Thrown Into The Trash. If Generated At The Facility, Any Unusable And/Or Spent Aerosol Cans Should Either Be Safely Punctured And Properly Drained Into A Closed Container Which Should Then Be Managed As Hazardous Waste, Or Be Placed Unpunctured Into A Closed Container Which Should Then Be Managed As A Hazardous Waste. Alternatively, The Facility May Choose To Manage Hazardous Waste Aerosol Cans As A Universal Waste, Provided They Meet The Requirements Of 40 Cfr 273.
At The Time Of The Inspection There Were Eleven 55-Gallon Drums Of Non-Hazardous Petroleum-Impacted Waste, Generated By Customers, That Were Staged Inside The Warehouse Pending Transportation For Disposal (Photo 4). One Of The Drums Labeled As “Diesel-Impacted Pads” Appeared To Have Leaked Onto The Concrete Floor (Photos 5 And 6) [40 Cfr 279.22(D)(3)].
