1 INTRODUCTION
On January 10, 2024, a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle C Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI) was conducted at Hamilton Sundstrand de Puerto Rico, Inc. (the Facility), pursuant to Section 3007 of RCRA. As part of the inspection, an opening conference, walkthrough, document review and closing conference were conducted to evaluate the Facility's compliance with the requirements that govern hazardous waste generators, universal waste handlers and used oil generators, as applicable.
The Facility is located at Felicia Industrial Park PR-576 Km 0.7, Santa Isabel, Puerto Rico, 00757. See aerial photograph (Figure 1) below for reference.
Figure 1: Overview of Hamilton Sundstrand de Puerto Rico, Inc. Aerial Photograph
The purpose of this inspection was to evaluate the Facility's compliance with the RCRA requirements for hazardous waste management. Based on EPA's RCRAInfo database, the Facility is listed as a large quantity generator (LQG) of hazardous waste and the last onsite inspection by EPA was conducted on June 21, 2016. Under EPA Policy, LQGs are required to be inspected every five (5) years and thus, an inspection was due in 2021. During the COVID-19 pandemic, an Off-Site Compliance Monitoring activity was conducted for the Facility on April 28, 2021. The onsite inspection conducted on January 10, 2024, was unannounced.
2 OPENING CONFERENCE
I met with Ms. Agnes Velazquez, Associate Director of Environmental Health, and Safety, and with Ms. Liza M. Rivera, Principal Environmental Health, and Safety Specialist for the opening conference. I identified myself as an EPA RCRA enforcement officer, told the Facility representatives the purpose of the inspection, and offered an opportunity to claim confidential business information (CBI).

I then proceeded to request documents that would be needed to complete the compliance evaluation. These were the following:
Hazardous waste manifests; Land disposal restrictions; RCRA personnel training; Contingency Plan; Quick reference guide; Biennial report; and Weekly inspections.
I also explained the areas that required a visit to ensure compliance with the regulations. A plan was put in place to ensure these areas were inspected during the walkthrough.
2.1 FACILITY BACKGROUND AND OPERATION
The Facility has been at its location since approximately 1992 when Sundstrand Corporation acquired it from Westinghouse. In 1999, it was acquired by United Technologies Corporation (UTC) to form Hamilton Sundstrand. Later in 2012, it merged with Goodrich Corporation forming UTC Aerospace Systems. In 2018, UTC Aerospace Systems and Rockwell Collins combined to form Collins Aerospace. Nonetheless, the Facility's legal name remains as Hamilton Sundstrand de Puerto Rico, Inc. The Facility is dedicated to the manufacturing of aircraft parts and has two (2) different processes or operations on site: electronics manufacturing and electromechanical manufacturing.
The electronic manufacturing process produces boards for different types of aircrafts. These are dock control unit cabins, auxiliary starters, power controls, turboprops, and air management system controls. The electromechanical manufacturing area produces auxiliary generator rotors, auxiliary generator exciter rotors, motor controller inductor transformers, common motor start controllers, ram air turbine generators and mixed flow flans. The final products are either for military or commercial use.
The Facility representatives reported that the plant currently employs approximately thirteen hundred (1,300) employees between four (4) shifts. From Monday through Friday, it operates a 24/7 schedule and on weekends there is a shift from 0600 to 1800 hours. Hamilton Sundstrand de Puerto Rico, Inc. covers an area of about two hundred thousand (200,000) square feet.
2.2 SOLID AND HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATION
Hamilton Sundstrand de Puerto Rico, Inc. generates hazardous and nonhazardous wastes mainly from its electronic and electromechanical manufacturing areas. These areas have multiple Satellite Accumulation Areas (SAAs) and internal Central Accumulation Areas (CAAs). The Facility accumulates its hazardous and non-hazardous waste in two (2) main CAAs, also known as buildings PR1 and PR5. Hazardous waste is generated daily throughout the Facility.

PRD987380078
Majority of the hazardous waste generated is shipped under waste codes D001 (ignitable), D002 (corrosive), D003 (reactive), D007 (chromium), D008 (lead), D009 (mercury-containing wastes), D011 (silver), D018 (benzene), D035 (methyl ethyl ketone), and F-listed spent non-halogenated solvents. Typically, the bulk of the hazardous waste is generated during cleaning processes and paint washes. The Facility utilizes Veolia Environmental Services LLC and Clean Harbors as their dedicated haulers.
3 FACILITY WALKTHROUGH
Ms. Velazquez and Ms. Rivera accompanied me during the facility walkthrough. The following areas were inspected for compliance:
PR1 (Circuit cart test and coating) Internal CAA; PR2 (Circuit card assembly) SAA and Internal CAA; PR3 (Electronic chassis assembly) Internal CAA; PR4 (Micro magnetic and electric motors) SAA and Internal CAA; PR5 (Manufacturing of electric motors, assembly and test) SAA; PR6 (Electric generators assembly) SAA and Internal CAA; PR12 (Electronics) SAA; CAA PR1, and CAA PR5.
The observations for each area are described below.
3.1 SATELLITE ACCUMULATION AREAS (SAAS) AND INTERNAL CENTRAL ACCUMULATION AREAS (CAAS)
As mentioned above, the PR2, PR4, PR5, PR6 and PR12 SAAs and the PR1, PR2, PR3, PR4 and PR6 internal CAAs were visited to evaluate compliance with the RCRA Regulations. The Facility representatives stated that the internal CAAs hazardous waste drums, which are dated with accumulation start dates, are moved to any of the main CAAs once they have been accumulated for fifty-five (55) days, and then, shipped offsite within two (2) weeks. The drums are usually kept in flammable safety cabinets (See Appendix A, Photograph One [1]).
SAAs
At the time of the inspection, the SAAs listed above had the following hazardous waste:
a small container of used rags at PR2; a bucket of used rags at PR2; a 55-gallon drum of solid paint at PR4; a container of skydrol particulate at PR5; a container of recyling blend at PR5; a 55-gallon drum of solid paint at PR5; a 55-gallon drum of solid impregnation at PR6; and a 55-gallon drum of solder paste at PR12.

4 DOCUMENT REVIEW
During the inspection, I requested the documents listed under Section 2 of this report. Below are the observations noted after the document review was completed.
Weekly Inspections
Central Accumulation Areas
The weekly inspection records for the internal and main CAAs were audited on-site since they were readily available and provided by the Facility representatives after conducting the walkthrough. These are kept by key personnel in several folders. The inspection checklist includes checking for leaking containers and for deterioration of containers caused by corrosion or other factors, and for proper hazardous waste labels and accumulation start dates. The inspection checklists were reviewed for 2021, 2022, 2023, and for the first week of January 2024.
Contingency Plan
The Facility provided a copy of the contingency plan the day of the inspection since it must include specific information and it would require a more in-depth review. A contingency plan dated January 2022 (Revision R) was not signed, not submitted to local emergency responders, and it listed Mr. Nelson Baez as the primary emergency coordinator. Mr. Baez left the position in May 2022, requiring the Facility to review and amend the plan and list its current emergency coordinator which is Ms. Velazquez. The Facility made another plan available that was completed in 2019, which was not signed either. The last available signed/approved integrated contingency plan (includes the spill prevention, control, and countermeasure plan) was dated January 26, 2017.
For the contingency plan dated January 2017, I verified that the plan was submitted to local emergency response agencies and that the Facility made arrangements with local responders, that it describes the actions needed to respond to explosions, fires and/or releases of hazardous waste, that it identifies an emergency coordinator alongside a 24/7 emergency telephone number, that it lists emergency equipment with its location and capabilities, and that it includes an evacuation plan.

Quick Reference Guide
The Facility has a quick reference guide that includes a list and description of the hazardous waste generated at the site, the estimated maximum amount of each generated waste, access routes and locations, a facility map layout, and the emergency coordinator contact information. The quick reference guide was prepared after the contingency plan's 2022 revision but was not submitted to local emergency responders.
Personnel Training
Annual personnel training was provided for staff associated with the hazardous waste management and operations of the Facility. The sign-in sheets included the trainees name alongside their respective job title and department, and the completion training date. These records were provided for 2021, 2022, and 2023 as requested.
The Facility provided its Hazardous and Universal Waste Training Program and Job Description plan. The program consists of both classroom and on-the-job training in areas like safe storage, handling, and management of hazardous and universal waste. It also describes skills, education or qualification, and duties associated with each job title, and the type and amount of introductory and continuing training needed per job title.
Manifests
The hazardous waste manifests had proper land disposal restriction notification forms based on the shipped waste codes, were dated, and signed by the designated facility, and were processed into EPA's Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest System (e-Manifest). For a list of hazardous waste shipments during 2021 through 2023, see Appendix B.
In 2021, the Facility shipped approximately 22,130 kilograms of non-acute and four (4) kilograms of acute hazardous waste. In 2022, it shipped approximately 27,373 kilograms of non-acute hazardous waste, and in 2023, the Facility shipped approximately 25,537 kilograms of non-acute hazardous waste.
Thus, based on the manifests reviewed for the past three years, and conversations with the Facility representatives, it appears that the Facility routinely generated more than 1,000 kg per month of hazardous waste. Consequently, the Facility appears to be correctly classified as an LQG.
The following table summarizes the amount of non-acute and acute hazardous waste the Facility shipped by calendar year.
Manifest Year 2021 2021 2022 2023
Acute? Acute Non-Acute Non-Acute Non-Acute

Hamilton Sundstrand ships its hazardous waste normally on a bi-weekly basis given the amount that is being generated.
Biennial Report
The Facility provided proof of its Biennial Report submission. This was verified in RCRAInfo for the reporting cycle of calendar year 2021. The report was received on February 25, 2022.
Note, the Facility must complete and submit by March 1, 2024, the biennial report for reporting cycle year 2023.
5 CLOSING CONFERENCE
On January 10, 2024, after completion of the walkthrough and onsite document review, I met with facility representatives Ms. Velazquez and Ms. Rivera to conduct a closing conference. I indicated that the purpose of the closing conference was to inform the Facility about the CEI observations and the opportunity to clarify any questions or doubts the representatives might have pertaining the RCRA inspection. I also communicated that a CEI report would be emailed once finalized.
6 POTENTIAL AREAS OF CONCERN

Environmental Justice & Supplemental Indexes
The environmental justice and supplemental indexes are a combination of environmental and socioeconomic information. There are thirteen EJ indexes and supplemental indexes in EJScreen reflecting the 13 environmental indicators. The indexes for a selected area are compared to those for all other locations in the state or nation. For more information and
calculation details on the EJ and supplemental indexes, please visit the EJScreen website.

*Diesel particulate matter, air toxics cancer risk, and air toxics respiratory hazard index are from the EPA's Air Toxics Data Update, which is the Agency's ongoing, comprehensive evaluation of air toxics in the United States. This effort aims to prioritize air toxics, emission sources, and locations of interest for further study. It is important to remember that the air toxics data presented here provide broad estimates of health risks over geographic areas of the country, not definitive risks to specific individuals or locations. Cancer risks and hazard indices from the Air Toxics Data Update are reported to one significant figure and any additional significant figures here are due to rounding. More information on the Air Toxics Data Update can be found at: https://www.epa.gov/haps/air-toxics-data-update.
