Open violations from April 14, 2016 inspection Violation #613 -Failed to conduct inspections or maintain records for 3 years. Oily staining and standing oil were noted below the used oil tanks located in the vicinity of the onsite oil water separators. Furthermore, the oil water separator, which was full of oily liquid at the time of inspection, is being used as a secondary containment for the 1,750-gallon used oil tank. Inspections and testing shall be conducted on all aboveground liquid petroleum containers larger than 55 gallons, including the regulated oil filled equipment and all 55 gallon drums of oil. Although some inspections are being implemented, these inspections are not addressing the issues observed at the time of inspection. Records of these inspections and tests shall be signed by the appropriate supervisor or inspector and kept on site with the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure(SPCC) Plan for a period of three years. Immediately begin necessary and adequate testing and inspections for all Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act regulated containers and maintain on site with the SPCC Plan. Submit proof of correction to the EHD. #613:RESPONSE TO THE RECEIVED RETURN TO COMPLIANCE CORRECTIVE ACTION STATEMENT(RTC): The submitted corrective action statement indicated that this facility is currently performing daily inspections of its hazardous waste and used oil tank system. Please provide a corrective action statement concerning the inspections for all SPCC regulated containers. Violation #614-Failed to train personnel on discharge prevention. Oil handling personnel were not adequately trained. Thirty people were trained in 2010 compared to the most recent training during, which only two people were trained. The last spill prevention briefing was held in 2013. At a minimum, oil handling personnel shall be trained in the operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent discharges; discharge procedure protocols; applicable pollution control laws, rules, and regulations; general facility operations; and the contents of the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan. Immediately provide this training to all oil handling personnel and submit a copy of the training log to the EHD. #614:RESPONSE TO THE RECEIVED RETURN TO COMPLIANCE CORRECTIVE ACTION STATEMENT(RTC): The submitted supporting documentation indicates that only two people received the spill prevention training on 12-3-2015. According to the reviewed SPCC plan (page 24), "Owens-Broakway provides spill response and prevention training to its oil-handling employees at least one a year. In addition, since the facility operates 24-hours a day and seven days a week, a foreman from each shift must be trained in spill response and prevention training." As such, employees who handle oil and at least several foreman require training. As such, it appears that the adequate training is not being provided to all oil handling personnel. Immediately provide all required training and submit proof of correction to the EHD. Violation #616 -Failed to schedule and conduct discharge prevention briefings at least annually. Discharge prevention briefings are not scheduled at least once a year. According to William Boscacci, the last spill prevention briefing was held in 2013. Discharge prevention briefings for oil handling personnel must be scheduled and conducted at least once a year to assure adequate understanding of the SPCC Plan for that facility. Such briefings must highlight and describe known discharges or failures, malfunctioning components, and any recently developed precautionary measures. Immediately schedule and conduct a discharge prevention briefing, ensure that they are scheduled and conducted at least once a year. #616:RESPONSE TO THE RECEIVED RETURN TO COMPLIANCE CORRECTIVE ACTION STATEMENT(RTC):No corrective action statement was received for this violation.
