*%W 1%001 In 1992, Tank #6 was cleaned resulting in 38.3 tons of rinsate and sludge manifested by PRC. 4. TOC generates a hazardous waste as a result of incidental spillage. The spills are contained with rags or clay absorbent and hauled by a hazardous waste hauler. In 1992, .43 tons of this type of waste was manifested to AEM. VII. VIOLATIONS: #1 Personnel training records were incomplete. VIII. OBSERVATIONS: Mr. Trevena and I arrived at TOC at approximately 11 a.m. Upon arrival, we met Mr. Michael Wilkinson who informed us he was down from the Seattle office for his periodic terminal inspection. He informed us that his position is the Health/Safety Specialist for TOC. The three of us proceeded to the terminal office where we joined Mr. Charlie Kyle, Terminal Manager and Mr. AI Bieniecki, Foreman. Mr. Trevena and I explained the purpose and scope of our inspection. We then requested and received permission to perform the inspection from Mr. Kyle. We began the physical inspection of the facility at the loading rack where we observed a container used for the waste absorbent. In addition, TOC maintains a "drip pan", with four inch sides, to catch incidental drips from the hose used to fuel the tanker trucks. I took photographs of this and the surrounding area. We also noted the grates (at least three) that cover the conduit leading to the sump used to collect runoff. Mr. Kyle then escorted Mr. Trevena, Mr. Wilkinson and me out to the tank farm area. There, we reviewed the sump/separator/filter/discharge system operation. We observed six 55-gallon drums of carbon filters in the area just south of the oil/water separator. Two of the drums were performing the treatment process, two were being maintained as replacements and the remaining two were spent and awaiting removal by a hazardous waste hauler. I took photographs of the drums and this area. We then proceeded to the area just north of the separator where we observed two 55-gallon drums containing an alcohol/water mixture. Mr. Kyle explained that TOC is no longer using alcohol as an additive to their fuel. Therefore, they were required to dispose of all alcohol additive remaining in the pertinent aboveground tank. Mr. Kyle further explained that the tank did not require cleaning, but only the removal of the contents. This represents a one-time wastestream generation to be manifested in 1993 and thus accounted for in the next inspection. I took photographs of these two drums showing their accumulation start date. 4
