Inspection Description
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Town of Windsor (Town) conducted a facility inspection at Tolmar Inc. (the facility) on April 13, 2023 at 0915. The facility inspection consisted of an opening interview facility walk-through tour, and a closing conference. Digital photos were taken during the facility tour to document laboratory wastewater sources, purified supply water treatment, the wastewater collection lift stations and the wastewater treatment system/discharge point to the Town. EPA reviewed relevant Pretreatment records provided by the facility electronically prior to the facility inspection.
Al Garcia and Stephanie Passarelli, EPA inspectors, and Mr. Ryne Oniecinski from the Town of Windsor (jointly referred to as inspectors) provided credentials and introductions to all attendees. The inspectors interviewed the facility representatives consisting of Mr. Tony Backo, Mr. Mike Ricks, Mr. Charles May and Mr. Chris Banfield about the facility and the associated unit operations/processes, including raw materials/chemicals and management or treatment of discharged and non-discharged wastestreams. A facility walk-through was performed to visually observe the unit operations, chemical storage/transfer/handling for slug discharge potential, wastewater generation/management/treatment and the discharge/compliance monitoring point. A closing conference was held to discuss the findings and observations of the facility inspection. During the facility inspection, EPA provided outreach regarding the applicable Pretreatment Regulations and projections of the control mechanism that will be issued by the EPA.

Description of Chemical Handling/Transfer to Process Operations:
The raw materials, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and chemicals are received in shipping docks located on the south side of the facility and stored in the Raw Materials warehouse. The boiler treatment and wastewater treatment chemicals are moved to the in-use areas. The raw materials are stored in the warehouse either on the floor or on shelves of large industrial storage racks. When requested by the various manufacturing areas or labs within the facility, the raw materials are staged in a pickup storage rack and issued to that area or lab.
Certain raw materials may be sampled to ensure quality control. An aliquot is taken from the raw material container and analyzed in the QA area, located in the Raw Materials warehouse. Note: the facility is decommissioning the dermatological products manufacturing (Derms East and Derms West areas and will be moving large manufacturing equipment (mixing/bulking) and quantities of chemicals used in this larger scale manufacturing out of the facility.
Potential for Spills or Slug Discharges from Chemical Storage/Handling/Transfer to reach Sanitary Sewer?
yes no
Describe Spill or Slug Discharge Potential:
Minimal, the facility is transitioning to smaller quantities of mixing, compounding and formulating of API and pharmaceutical products. The current slug discharge control plan adequately addresses slug discharge potential and measures, equipment and procedures to eliminate or minimize slug discharges to the sanitary sewer.
Process/Unit Operations
Describe the facility industrial process.
The facility organizes its pharmaceutical manufacturing of products into areas or labs within its building. As mentioned in the previous section, the raw materials, chemicals, and API are stored in the Raw Materials warehouse and are issued to the different pharmaceutical product areas when requested. The current pharmaceutical products manufactured at the facility includes the following:
x Eligard
4 of 17
Tolmar Inc. Pretreatment Inspection - April 13, 2023 COPF-000106
x Fen-Solvi x EPSS - Eligard with improved packaging. x Polymer Manufacturing Suites x Polymer R&D x Note: The facility no longer manufactures dermatological products in the Derms East and West
areas. The Derms East area is currently vacant, and the Derms West area is under construction for the EPSS product line.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing -
The raw materials and APIs that are issued from the Raw Materials warehouse are received in the centralized mixing or bulking lab. The bulking process occurs in one centralized area or lab within the facility. The mixing/compounding/formulating operations for each pharmaceutical product (Eligard, EPSS and Fen-Solvi) are the same, but the volumes change depending on the pharmaceutical product manufactured. The volumes for each pharmaceutical product will be identified in the narrative of the bulking operations.
The raw materials and APIs are mixed and compounded in carboys (Eligard - 10L, EPSS - 20L) using a magnetic stir plate. The mixed product is sent through an oven and then pumped through a series of filters to a media bag. The filters used during this process are single use and are collected as non-hazardous waste for disposal. The media bag is used in the filling machine designed to create dosage forms in syringe vials. The filling machine has a 5-station manifold and silicone tubing to fill syringes. The silicone tubing is single use and is disposed after every product filling run. The stainless-steel fill nozzles are rinsed in a lab sink, sterilized and reused. The facility manufactures 100 syringes per tub. The typical production runs for each pharmaceutical product are identified below:
x Eligard - 120 tubs x EPSS - 60 to 210 tubs x Fen-Solvi - 60 tubs
The dosage form products are freeze-dried (lyophilization) to stabilize the product in either final dosage form (EPSS) or ready for combining with the polymer syringe component.
Polymer Manufacturing -
The polymer is manufactured in two suites. The raw materials issued from the warehouse are received and mixed in an 8L helicone mixing vessel, the facility currently manufactures about two to three batches per week. The mixture is heated to dry and are extruded out of the containers into milling machines. The helicone vessel is cleaned with solvents to dissolve the residual polymer. The bottom of the container is opened to aid in cleaning. The waste solvent is collected and hauled off-site as hazardous waste.
The milled polymer powder is contained and sealed in a Syringe A bulking area/lab. According to facility representatives, the facility manufactures about 5 batches of polymer per week.
Polymer Development -
The polymer research and development are conducted in the Polymer Lab, located east of the Derms East area in the facility. The polymers developed and tested in this lab are produced in 10L batches. Acetone is
5 of 17
Tolmar Inc. Pretreatment Inspection - April 13, 2023 COPF-000106
used for cleaning and dissolving polymer in this lab. The waste acetone is collected and shipped off-site as hazardous waste.
Specialty Injectables -
The APIs used in specialty injectables is in powder form and are mixed in a 20L vessel, transferred to a 20L tank and are milled in a 200 machine. The milled product is contained in a carrier container and are transferred to a 30L tank and then moved to the filling room for dosage form in vials. These products do not undergo lyophilization. The vessels used in this manufacturing operation are washed in the washrooms.
Purified Water -
The facility uses supply water that has undergone reverse osmosis (RO) for use in its manufacturing operations. Approximately 1 gallon of reject water or brine is generated for every 3 gallons of RO-treated water. The RO brine generated from the process is discharged directly to the City sewer. The RO water is first contained in a 5,400-gallon tank for facility use, with the exception of the Eligard manufacturing process. The water undergoes an additional treatment process and contained in a separate 5,400-gallon tank for use in the Specialty Injectables and Eligard manufacturing processes.
Boiler Room -
The facility boilers are blown down daily, based on conductivity and are annually evacuated for maintenance/inspection. The boilers wastewaters are discharged directly to the City sewer.
Ancillary Wastestreams -
According to the facility representatives, a certain volume (about 250 to 450 gallons per day) of steam condensate is discharged to the Eligard and South lift stations and to the wastewater treatment system. In addition, the facility performs cleaning of the production areas/labs and this wastewater is discharged to the wastewater treatment system.
Describe any substantial changes in manufacturing processes (or planned changes):
The facility is currently performing construction to increase its manufacturing EPSS production in the old Derms West area. The old Derms East area is currently vacant, but the facility may add new manufacturing processes in this space. The Derms pharmaceutical products areas were discontinued since 2019 and as a result, the wastewater generated decreased significantly. In addition, the generation of waste acetone is tightly controlled. As a result of acetone exceedances in the past two years, the facility has tightly controlled the use of acetone in the Polymer Development lab. The facility collects this wastewater and hauls off-site as hazardous waste.
Did these changes result in substantial change in wastewater?
yes no
Were these substantial changes reported, as required in 40 CFR 403.12(j)?
yes no

Tolmar Inc. Pretreatment Inspection - April 13, 2023 COPF-000106
Wastewater Treatment/Managment
Describe the wastewater treatment system or wastewater management:
Wastewater Collection and lift stations -
The south lift station (photo log # 271) collects regulated process wastewater from the Specialty Injectables, EPSS and old Derms East labs. The north lift station (photo log # 270) collects regulated process wastewater from the H2 area within the Derms East lab. The facility does not allow the north lift station to pump to wastewater treatment but instead, the north lift station pumps to a 12,000-gallon collection tank. The valves on the pipes leading to wastewater treatment are locked. The 12,000-gallon collection tank has alarms that are triggered at about 3,500 and 6,000 gallons. The wastewater within this tank is hauled off-site and is tested for pH and flashpoint to ensure they are within the characteristic pH hazardous waste levels and a flashpoint below 140 C.
The regulated process wastewaters generated in the pharmaceutical products bulking lab are collected in the 75-gallon Eligard lift station (photo log # 269) located on the west side of the Raw Materials warehouse.
Wastewater Treatment -
The wastewater pumped from the Eligard and South lift stations are collected in the 2,800-gallon equalization tank (photo log # 262). The facility has a larger backup overflow, in case this is needed. The contents in the 2,800-gallon equalization tank are pumped to the 2 waste treatment skids at about 37% capacity (photo log # 263). The 2 wastewater treatment skids are identical in functionality for pH neutralization and capacity.
The wastewater enters Stage 1 (450-gallon capacity) of the pH neutralization skid and is treated for pH and defoaming agent is added if needed. The pH treatment acid/base and defoaming agent is adequately contained in spill containment equipment (photo log #268). The treatment pH meter is set for 5.0 to 10.3. If Stage 1 wastewater is outside this range, the appropriate volume of either H2SO4 acid or caustic soda is added to adjust the pH within the set criteria. The wastewater is moved across a weir to Stage 2 within the system and is monitored for a pH range of 7.0 to 9.0. If the pH of the Stage 2 wastewater is outside this range, then the wastewater is rerouted back to Stage 1 for additional treatment (photo log #264). If the Stage 2 wastewater is within range, then the contents are discharged through the discharge pipe from the treatment skid (photo log # 265). The discharge pipes from the two treatment skids combine into one common discharge pipe. This is defined as outfall 001 and the facility continuously monitors for pH and flow. A monitoring point valve is also located on this discharge pipe (photo log # 267).
Are all treatment units functioning?
yes no
Bypasses or emergency overflows from the treatment system?
yes no

Pretreatment Inspection Findings
Follow up Action Items
1. The Pretreatment Regulations at 40 C.F.R.
403.6(d) states the following: "Except where expressly authorized to do so by an applicable Pretreatment Standard or Requirement, no
Pretreatment Requirement 40 C.F.R. 403.6(d)
Industrial User shall ever increase the use of process water, or in any other way attempt to dilute a Discharge as a partial or complete substitute for
40 C.F.R. 439.47 Corrective Actions
adequate treatment to achieve compliance with a Pretreatment Standard or Requirement." The Pharmaceutical PSNS standards at 40 C.F.R. 439.47 do not authorize dilution.
The facility needs to provide accurate volume measurements of the steam condensate discharged to the waste treatment system in the permit application to EPA.
Tolmar, Inc. currently discharges approximately 250 to 450 gallons of steam condensate to the waste treatment system. Steam condensate is determined to be an unregulated wastestream to the Pharmaceutical PSNS at 40 C.F.R. 439.47.
EPA recommends Tolmar evaluate the feasibility of rerouting the steam condensate to avoid discharging it to the waste treatment system to eliminate or minimize the dilution of regulated wastestreams.
