This was an EPA lead inspection. 8) Facility Description Dal-Tile Dickson Building Products (Dal-Tile) notified as a Large Quantity Generator (LQG) of hazardous waste on February 21, 2024. In addition, Dal-Tile is a used oil generator and small quantity handler of universal waste. Dal-Tile is located at 1665 Old Columbia Road, Dickson, TN EPA-RCRA CEI Report September 6, 2024 Page 2 of 19 Dal-Tile Dickson Building Products EPA ID# TND980559702 37075. Dal-Tile was established 75 years ago to manufacture flooring tiles. There are eight manufacturing plants in the USA, as well as Mexico and Brazil. Mohawk Industries acquired DalTile in 2002. This facility began production of quartz countertops in 2019. Dal-Tile employs about 200 workers for production operations that span seven days a week/24 hours a day. Access to the site is controlled by locked facility doors and a fenced area behind the facility. There were three active waste streams that have been reported to be generating during 2023 at this location: Waste Stream 43 (WS#43) - Waste Acetone and Resin (D001/F003) are generated by cleaning of process equipment. This active waste stream is regularly generated at a maximum rate of 5,000 lbs./month. Waste Stream 44 (WS#44) - Ignitable Waste Catalyst (D001/D003) is generated from offspec or contaminated material. Currently, this active waste stream is intermittently generated at a maximum rate of 70 lbs./month. Waste Stream 45 (WS#45) - Ignitable hazardous waste liquid (D001 and F003) is generated from spillage and leaks into spill containment, intermittently generated at a maximum monthly volume 1,500 lbs./month. 9) Previous Inspection History Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has conducted three RCRA CEIs at the subject facility between 2017 and 2024 and found one violation during those inspections. On January 14, 2021, TDEC conducted the most recent RCRA CEI at the subject facility and found no apparent violations of RCRA's requirements. 10) Opening Conference On September 6, 2024, EPA inspectors Alan Newman and Sarah Rowell, accompanied by TDEC inspectors Terry Carrier, Rachel Freeman, and Michael Horsley, arrived at Dal-Tile at approximately 9:00 a.m. Adam Schumann, immediately received the inspectors. Adam Schumann and the inspectors were joined by Rony Patterson, David Jackson, and Brandy Earhart for the opening conference. The inspectors introduced themselves, showed their credentials to Adam Schumann and explained the purpose of the visit. The inspectors described the anticipated use of a digital camera during the inspection and provided a request for records. The EPA inspector explained that the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act's classification of a "small business" is generally set by the Small Business Administration using the business' SIC/NAICS code and annual receipts or number of employees. A copy of the EPA's information sheet for small businesses can be found at https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2017-06/documents/smallbusinessinfo.pdf. 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. EPA-RCRA CEI Report September 6, 2024 Page 3 of 19 Dal-Tile Dickson Building Products EPA ID# TND980559702 Adam Schumann 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 Dal-Tile's operations are currently being expanded. Line 1 is up and running and Line 2 is being constructed. The facility receives raw material in bulk super sac and/or pneumatic trucks which is then transferred into a series of hoppers and/or silos for use. Resin is held in the resin holding silos. A recipe for a particular design is loaded into the mixing data base. The operator verifies the recipe and starts the process. The material is transferred by conveyer belts to the 4th floor of the mixing deck where it will wait until the operator starts the process. Based on which recipe is used, the design can range from a single part to a five-part mix. This will determine the number of mixers used in the process. The first phase of mixing is a dry mix, then a small amount of colorant is added, then the wet mix starts. During the wet mix phase, resin is added to the mixer. Each batch runs up to 15 minutes depending on the number of parts and the design. Once all the mixers have completed, each mixer discharges to unload belts which lead to a large ring mixer. This is where everything comes together and is homogenized. Once the ring mixer reaches its max count, it unloads to another conveyer belt which brings the materials to the delumpers. The delumpers are two rounded ceramic rollers which are used to meter the material down onto a spreader loading belt. At this point, the material is metered into the distributer. The distributer in conjunction with the mold shuttle, distribute the material evenly within the mold cased on the weight being used. The slab will either pass through the Robot station or can be bypassed in the design from the Robot station is not needed. The slab then rolls down more sets of conveyers until stopping just before the Vibropress to receive an upper mold which is placed over the slab to protect the Vibropress. Once the slab has been pressed to fill in all the gaps in the mold, the slab is stopped just before the oven to be inspected for quality assurance. The slab is placed within a large carousel oven where it will sit for about 30 minutes to cure. The slab is removed and passes through the demolder system when the mold is removed, cleaned, and sent back to be used again. The slab continues to the cooling tower where it will again sit for up to 30 minutes until it reaches ambient temperature. Once the slab is cooled it heads to the double shuttle area when the unloading LB will stack more slabs on top until it reaches bundle height for transport to vertical storage. All these movements are done by automation. From vertical storage, the slabs will then be moved by conveyer to the polish line. On the polish line, the flashing all around the slab is removed by longitudinal grinders and transversal cup wheels and diamond tools. The slabs are then milled down on both the top and bottom removing roughly 2.5mm of material from each side. This is to ensure a flat surface for the fabricators to work with. After this, the slabs pass through a polishing machine and then onto a quality assurance inspector. At last, the slab is transferred to the warehouse until it is sold and shipped out. EPA-RCRA CEI Report September 6, 2024 Page 4 of 19 Dal-Tile Dickson Building Products EPA ID# TND980559702 Mixing Area The inspection team noted two 55-gallon containers in the Line 1 Mixing Area of waste acetone and resin (WS#43): one was full and the other one full and being filled (Photographs 1-8). DalTile was managing this area as an SAA. Neither of these containers were labeled with the words "Hazardous Waste." Facility representative labeled the containers with the words "Hazardous Waste" during the inspection (Photographs 5-6). The container being filled was affixed with a funnel for pouring waste into the container through a bung hole. The closure device on the funnel was not closed during the inspection; facility personnel closed this clasp during the inspection (Photographs 7-8). There was no date on the container storing the excess waste. Pursuant to Tenn. Comp.

[40 C.F.R. 262.15(a)], which is a condition of the SAA Permit Exemption, a generator may accumulate as much as 55 gallons of non-acute hazardous waste in containers at or near any point of generation where wastes initially accumulate which is under the control of the operator of the process generating the waste, without a permit or interim status provided that all of the conditions for exemption in this section are met. Pursuant to Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0400-12-01-.03(1)(f)1.(vi)(III) [40 C.F.R. 262.15(a)(6)(iii)], which is a condition of the SAA Permit Exemption, a generator accumulating hazardous waste in excess of the amount listed in paragraph (a) of this section at or near any point of generation must during the three-consecutive-calendar-day period the generator must continue to comply with paragraphs (a)(1) through (5) of this section. The generator must mark or label the container(s) holding the excess accumulation of hazardous waste with the date the excess amount began accumulating. Daily Tank Area The inspection team noted spills of materials in the Daily Tank Area where Silan and Cobalt supply chemicals are stored (Photographs 9-12). There were two spill containment pallets located under the dispensing spigots for each the silane and the colbalt materials. Both pallets were storing spilled waste. The floor in this area also showed evidence of spilled material. Facility personnel stated that this material, if wasted, would be determined to be nonhazardous waste. The inspection team recommends that these secondary containment pallets be inspected on a schedule and accumulated spilled liquids be removed and properly managed. The location of the signs in this area should be re-evaluated as they are directly under the dispensing spigots. EPA-RCRA CEI Report September 6, 2024 Page 5 of 19 Dal-Tile Dickson Building Products EPA ID# TND980559702 Robot Line 1 SAA Dal-Tile had three 55-gallon blue poly containers staged near the robot line 1 for accumulations of excluded solvent-contaminated wipes (ESCW)(Photograph 13).
