requirements of RCRA and the corresponding Georgia Department of Environmental Protection (GAEPD) regulations. This was an EPA lead inspection.
8) Facility Description Kemira Water Solutions Inc. manufactures chemical solutions for water-intensive industries such as industrial and municipal water treatment operators, and pulp and paper industry. The Augusta facility started manufacturing sodium chlorate in 1994. Sodium chlorate is the raw material for chlorine dioxide (ClO2), which is produced on-site at the pulp mills, and it is the primary bleaching agent for kraft pulp. Chlorine dioxide is produced from sodium chlorate using different reducing agents, such as hydrogen peroxide, sulfur dioxide, methanol, and hydrochloric acid. Sodium chloride is the primary raw material used to produce sodium chlorate. The raw material is brought to the facility via truck. The majority of sodium chlorate is produced by passing a direct electric current through a sodium chloride brine in several electrochemical cells. The brine overflows into each cell which increase sodium chlorate and reduces the salt. The finished product is shipped directly to customer via railcar.
Kemira Water Solutions Inc. Augusta facility employs 40 employees with 19 employees handling hazardous waste. The facility operates four shifts, 24 hours a day, seven days per week.
Kemira Water Solutions Inc.'s most recent Hazardous Waste Generator Notification (EPA Form 8700-12) dated February 16, 2024, characterized the facility as a Large Quantity Generator (LQG) of hazardous waste. Kemira Water Solutions Inc. may generate D001, D002 and D007 hazardous waste streams, spent aerosol cans, used solvent, used oil, universal lamps and batteries, paint waste and other wastes. This facility was last inspected on March 3, 2016, by GAEPD.
9) Previous Inspection History GAEPD has conducted thirteen RCRA CEIs at the subject facility between 2001 and 2016 and found fourteen violations during those inspections.
On March 3, 2016, GA EPD conducted the most recent RCRA CEI at the subject facility and found no apparent violations of RCRA's requirements.
10) Opening Conference On January 7, 2025, EPA inspectors Paula Whiting, Novelle Smith and Margaret Zacharias, accompanied by GAEPD inspector Kynslei Fay, arrived at Kemira Water Solutions, Inc. at approximately 9:00 AM.

The EPA inspector also discussed the company's ability, pursuant to 40 C.F.R. 2.203, to assert a business confidentiality claim for information submitted to EPA. The company did not assert a business confidentiality claim.
Mr. Whitesell and Mr. Stevens provided an overview of the facility's history and current operations during the opening conference. The inspection participants also discussed health and safety protocols and required personal protective equipment before Facility representative led the inspectors on a tour of the Facility operations.
11) Inspection Observations 11.1 Main Office Kemira manages universal waste lamps in the Main Office. According to the records provided during the inspection, the facility sent one shipment of universal waste offsite during calendar year 2019. The most recent shipment of universal waste lamps was sent to Clean-lites Recycling on January 14, 2019. Facility representatives informed the inspectors that they are changing to LED lamps and the office area still using fluorescent lamps is under renovation.
The inspectors observed two cardboard containers of universal waste lamps in this area during the inspection (Pictures 1-2). One 4-foot cardboard container of Universal Waste lamps located near in an entry way was closed during the inspection by Mr. Whitesell and marked with an accumulation start date of December 3, 2024, was labeled universal waste lamps. A second 4foot container of Universal Waste lamps, which was not closed, not marked with an accumulation start date, and not labeled universal waste lamps was stored at the end of a hallway. Mr. Whitesell immediately closed, labeled and dated the container for September 26, 2024.

Kemira Water Solutions, Inc. EPA ID# GA0000081281
At the time of the inspection, the inspectors observed during the manifest review that Manifest 018570034FLE Line 9b.1.described Process Filter Cake, Filters and Sulfate Filtrate, NA3077 Haz Waste Solids, NOS, 9, PGIII (Chromium)(D001) "RQ" 10 lbs., and Line 13. Waste Codes listed D007. The inspectors provided the December 26, 2023, manifest (Picture 24) to Mr. Whitesell, and noted that multiple manifests were sent with this incorrect waste code in the waste stream description. Upon review of the 2024 records, the incorrect waste code had been corrected to D007 in the description.
Weekly Inspection Records: The inspectors reviewed Kemira's available records of inspections of the hazardous waste central accumulation area (CAA) since January 2022. The inspection log includes a checklist to record observations about leaking containers and for deterioration of containers caused by corrosion or other factors. The inspection log includes a notes section to record observations. The records include the date and time of the inspection and the name, signature and initials of the employee conducting the inspection. Employees do routinely record inspection observations and subsequent follow-up actions on the inspection log.
Waste Determination Records: The inspectors requested and reviewed the waste profile for Sodium Chlorate Cell Sludge. The waste profile 588637 was received by US Ecology; however, the waste profile was based on generator knowledge and not on analytical results. The inspectors advised Mr. Whitesell and Mr. Stevens that the hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams need to have a waste determination conducted prior to disposal and the analytical results must be kept on file. If any area of the process changes, then the waste stream(s) must be tested again prior to disposal. A Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) is used to determine whether a waste is a toxic hazardous waste.
Pursuant to Ga. Comp. R. and Regs. 391-3-11-.08(1) [40 C.F.R. 262.11], a person who generates a solid waste, as defined in Ga. Code Ann. 12-8-62(20) [40 C.F.R. 261.2], must make an accurate determination as to whether that waste is a hazardous waste in order to ensure wastes are properly managed according to applicable RCRA regulations articulated in Ga. Comp. R. and Regs. 391-3-11-.08(1) [40 C.F.R. 262.11].
Biennial Report: The inspectors reviewed the 2023 Biennial Report submitted to GA EPD. The inspectors observed the report had waste codes that did not apply to the waste streams in the facility. Mr. Mark Wenclawlak, Manager, Environmental Safety (former employee) compiled the report and stated in Section 10.B "Added additional waste for operational flexibility." Mr. Whitesell nor Mr. Stevens was aware of the additional waste codes added by Mr. Wenclawlak. The inspectors advised Mr. Whitesell and Mr. Stevens to remove the additional waste codes in the upcoming biennial report that were not applicable to their operations.
13) Closing Conference The inspectors conducted the exit meeting at 2:30 PM with Mr. Whitesell and Mr. Stevens. During this meeting, the inspectors stated their preliminary conclusions of the inspection.
