1 INTRODUCTION
On July 5, 2023, a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Compliance Evaluation Inspection was conducted at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals LLC (the facility), pursuant to Section 3007 of RCRA. As part of the Inspection, an opening meeting, walkthrough, documents review and closing meeting were conducted to evaluate 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 689 State Road Km. 1.9 Carmelita Ward Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, 00694. Refer to APPENDIX I, Figure 1 for the aerial photograph and to Figure 2 for layout of the facility.
According to EPA records, the Facility has been inspected several times between 1985 and 2016. Two EPA inspections are registered in RCRA Info 2002 & 2018. Most of the inspections registered in the system have been performed by the State and shows no violations found.
2 OPENING MEETING
I arrived at the facility around 0950 hours and met with Mr. Jose Aleman for the opening meeting. I identified myself as EPA RCRA enforcement officer and told him that the purpose of my visit was to conduct a CEI at the facility to evaluate its hazardous waste management practices and compliance. Mr. Aleman identified himself as the Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Manager for the facility. He has been assigned in this position for the last seven years but, has been working with the facility for more than twenty-five years. Along with him, he also introduced me to Ms. Alexandra Perez. Ms. Perez is the EHS Specialist for the facility and has been assigned to this position for more than thirteen years.
I explained the facility representatives that the inspection would consist of the opening meeting, a walkthrough through the facility where hazardous waste is generated and stored, and to review the regulated documents according to their waste generation.
2.1 FACILITY PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Following the opening meeting, I started to gather more information regarding the facility physical description and operation. Mr. Aleman stated that the facility has approximately one thousand (1,000) employees and that hours of operations are five days a week from 0800 hours to 1630 hours. The facility has been operating in Vega Baja since 1978, former Warner Lambert and then Pfizer since 2001. The facility operation consists of the manufacturing of consumer goods such as: Zithromax, Lipitor, Dilantin, Neurontin, Atorvastatin etc. in tablets and/or capsules, and final packaging of Celebrex. Product distribution goes around one-hundred forty (140) countries. They provided me with a list of all the manufacturing products generated at the facility. Ms. Aleman as well as Ms. Perez also informed that on 16, November 2020 the facility announced the creation of VIATRIS, the new name of the company. The change of name does not constitute a change of the corporate entity nor corporate control. VIATRIS legal entity name was in effect on 16, June 2023 by the Department of State.

2.2 SOLID AND HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATION
According to the facility representatives as part of their manufacturing operation they generate hazardous waste as a Large Quantity Generator (LQG) and consist mainly of solvents, lab-packs, and rags containing solvents. Also, they manage universal waste such as fluorescent lamps, used oil, scrap metals, and electronic waste.
The hazardous generated waste from their manufacturing operations comes from chemical laboratories (Lab) (Raw material, Packaging, and Finished Products), the 90-Storage Area, Manufacturing Satellite Accumulation Areas (SAA) and the lab of the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP)
At this time, I asked Mr. Aleman for a facility layout to better understand where the hazardous waste areas are located and coordinate the walkthrough around the facility. The layout was provided, and the facility representatives showed me where exactly are the RCRA related areas and coordinated the walkthrough.
(See APPENDIX I- for Facility Layout)
3 FACILITY WALKTHROUGH
Mr. Aleman and Ms. Perez accompanied me during the facility walkthrough. During the walkthrough the following areas were inspected:
Scrap Metal Container Quality Control (QC) Lab and Finished Product Finished Product Lab 90-days Storage Area Packaging Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) Lab Manufacturing Satellite Accumulation Areas (SAA)
Refer to APPENDIX XII for pictures taken during the inspection.

Performed by/date: 08/23/22. Three of the four (1-quart) container had a Performed by/date 07/28/21.
(See APPENDIX XII-Pictures 80-88)
SAA 4 (VB-L010)- In this SAA the waste generated comes from the finished products of Celebrex, Dilantin, Norvasc and Statin drugs. At the time of the CEI I observed the following waste:
One (5- gallon) steel container of flammable waste of mixed solvent from HPLC. The container was ground and labeled as hazardous waste with pictogram included.
(See APPENDIX XII-Pictures 89-91)
SAA 5 (VB-L045)- This satellite area generates flammable waste from the ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) generated at the packing material. In this area I observed the following: One- (2-gallons) white chromatography container in a secondary container and labeled as hazardous flammable waste. On the description it also reads Performed by/date 07/28/21. The yellow hazardous waste label had also the description of the waste but, no accumulation date written.
(See APPENDIX XII-Pictures 92-96)
SAA 6 (VB-L008)- This laboratory refrigerator is where the hazardous waste lab packs are stored. The refrigerator is complete identified with signs of hazardous waste and compatibility storing labels. The refrigerator is designed with five shelves and six other shelves at the door. The waste stored here is only at the bottom shelf. The bottom shelf had ether waste, and acetaldehyde. The acetaldehyde bottle has a white label indicating two dates: effective date: 31-Mar-2021 and Performed by/date: 06-16-23.
(See APPENDIX XII-Pictures 97-101)
SAA 7 (VB-009)- This SAA is also for raw material lab packs. Inside the laboratory cabinet there's a tray with a variety of glass bottles. Inventory of bottles was provided. I also notice that each labeled waste has a Performed by/date.
