EPA Region 10 Lead Inspector, Jon Jones, arrived at the Tesoro Logistics Operations, LLC Facility (the "Site" or "Facility"), located at 2211 St Francis Ln, Vancouver, WA 98660, at 08:31 AM (PT) on 08/30/2024 for an unannounced inspection. EPA Region 10 Lead Inspector presented credentials to and informed Micah Bardin that this was an EPA REGION 10 inspection to determine compliance with Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
The facility was inspected to ensure compliance with Washington's federally authorized hazardous waste regulations found at Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173-303. Specifically, the inspection assessed compliance with WAC 173-303-573 universal waste management standards, WAC 173-303-515 requirements for management of used oil, and WAC 173-303-170 through 230 standards for hazardous waste generators. The inspection was conducted as a core program requirement for fiscal year 2024.
This report is based on information supplied by Tesoro Logistics Operations, LLC Facility representatives, observations made by the EPA Region 10 inspector, and records and reports maintained by the facility, but not limited to: direct observations made by the EPA Region 10 Inspector(s), photographs taken by EPA Region 10 inspector(s), physical evidence collected by the EPA Region 10 inspector(s), measurements or samples taken by EPA Region 10 inspector(s), verbal or written statements made by information supplied by the facility representatives during or subsequent to the on-site Inspection, and materials, processes, data, photographs, or documents shown, demonstrated, or submitted to the EPA Region 10 inspector(s) by the facility representatives during or subsequent to the on-site Inspection.

After driving into the facility, I entered the facility office, met with facility personnel, and explained that this was an EPA Region 10 inspection to determine compliance with Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
During the opening conference, I explained that the focus of the RCRA inspection was to identify types of wastes generated, points of waste generation, methods of waste management, and review relevant documents.
Only those areas in which I observed potential compliance concerns or noted other pertinent issues are discussed in Section III of this inspection report.

Tesoro Logistics Operations, LLC (Tesoro) has operated at this site since 1961. The Tesoro facility is used for bulk petroleum storage. Aboveground storage tanks are used to store diesel fuel, gasoline, off-spec materials, ethanol, fuel additives, B-99 bio diesel, and dyes. Diesel fuel and gasoline are generally received via pipeline. Ethanol is primarily received by rail car and sometimes trucks. Bio diesel is primarily received by trucks and has the potential to be received by railcar. Fuel additives are received by tanker truck and dye is received either by small bulk containers or via tanker trucks. Fuels are also received at the facility by ship and barge. They also have a Facility ID under SPCC/FRP: R10-WA-00048.
Process Description
Mr. Bardin told me the following about the facility's processes and waste streams: Tesoro became an LQG due to sludge removal, a process known as "653," from some of the 12 aboveground storage tanks. The most recent tank cleanout took place in October 2023. Tesoro was acquired by Marathon Petroleum, but the terminal continues to operate under the Tesoro brand name.
Mr. Bardin said that on 5/31/24 the facility's fire suppression system dumped AFFF due to a bad heat probe. The waste was shipped to Chemical Waste Management of the NW, Inc. in Arlington, OR.
I was accompanied during the inspection by Mr. Bardin. I looked at the facility's processes, hazardous waste management practices, generation points, and accumulation areas. I looked for wastes that facility representatives had not yet identified or designated as hazardous. I did not observe any universal waste or used oil during the inspection of the facility.
