Opening Conference
Jon Jones, along with Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) Inspectors Grace Tapulgo and Sable McGovern arrived at the facility at 8:49 am and met with Valdez Marine Terminal (VMT) Environmental Coordinator, Dan Gilson, who led us to a conference room for the opening conference. We were joined by VMT Director Klint VanWingerden, VMT Operations Manager Weston Branshaw, and Environmental Coordinator Supervision Cathy Gerard.
During the opening conference we presented our inspector credentials, provided business cards, and informed the group that this was a routine hazardous waste compliance inspection in accordance with RCRA. We explained that the ADEC inspectors were accompanying the inspection for training purposes.
Additionally, we explained that the focus of the RCRA inspection was to identify and observe types of waste generated, points of waste generation, methods of waste management, and review related documents. These documents include manifests, hazardous waste training, and weekly inspections from the last three years. Dan Gilson provided us with a packet of the facility and map areas, which included each building at the VMT and their waste streams.
We were accompanied throughout the inspection by Dan Gilson. We were not denied access to any part of the facility, and we were allowed to take photographs.

Process Description
The 800-mile long Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) transports crude oil from Prudhoe Bay's Pump Station 1 to the Alyeska Marine Terminal where it is stored in tanks prior to shipment. The process for cleaning these tanks includes emptying the tank, purging it, and removing tank bottoms. At the time of the inspection there were no tanks being cleaned out. Hazardous waste sources include, but are not limited to, pigging, sandblasting, and sumps.
Additional hazardous waste generated at this facility include waste leather gloves, waste paint, compressed gas cylinders, flammables in the form of ethyl alcohol and petroleum distillates, used oil, and corrosive wastes. They also generate universal waste aerosol cans, universal waste LED lamps, and universal waste batteries.
During the inspection we examined the facility's processes, hazardous waste management practices, generation points, and accumulation areas. We looked for wastes that facility representative had not yet identified or designated as hazardous. We also observed the facility's universal waste management. Lastly, we reviewed the facility records and documents that were available at the time of the inspection.
We inspected the areas of the facility listed in the building(s) table below.

During the inspection, while driving around the facility, I had Mr. Gilson stop the vehicle while we were in the area of last tank clean out, at Tank #8, that occurred back in May or June of 2023. While there, I told Mr. Gilson that I was aware of an EPA CID visit to the VMT regarding a complaint. Mr. Gilson told me that CID came out to investigate a complaint earlier in April of 2024.
While I was viewing the area around Tank #8, from the vehicle, I asked Mr. Gilson to describe the tanks cleanout process. Mr. Gilson told me the following:
Crude oil is pumped from the storage tank, drawing the oil level down as low as possible, and sent to an
oil tanker vessel.
5 - 8K
are sucked out of the storage tank with hoses and put into a
couple of frac tanks where it is mixed with diesel and put into a slurry.
The slurry then goes through a centrifuge
with crude oil and diesel
During my conversation with Mr. Gilson, I was told that no waste determination was made on the waste tank bottoms prior to going into the TBPU dryer. After the solids go through the TBPU dryer, a waste ash is generated. The waste ash is then shipped offsite to the Republic Moose Creek landfill. Mr. Gilson said that Alyeska made a waste determination for the waste ash and that the waste ash is not hazardous.
Mr. Gilson said that 80 to 90 drums of waste tank bottoms was generated in either 2019 or 2020 due to issues with their contractor and the TBPU dryer being down. He said the waste tank bottoms were tested and determined to be a hazardous waste and were shipped offsite as hazardous waste. At the time of the inspection, Mr. Gilson said that the facility has been using the TBPU dryer since 2010.
During the inspection, I asked for documentation (Manifests/LDRs) related to the 2019/2020 event when the waste tank bottoms was shipped out as well as analytical data for both the waste tanks bottoms and the waste ash. Mr. Gilson emailed the information to me on the day of the inspection which is included in the document log of this report.

After inspecting the last three years of weekly inspections (8/6/21 through 8/6/24), the log was found to be complete with no weeks missed. However, based on the repetitive AOCs identified throughout the inspection, with regard to missing hazard indicators, there is concern that the facility is not conducting adequate inspections due to not catching this issue.
We requested that Dan Gilson send us the last five weeks of inspections by email following the inspection. Mr. Gilson emailed the last five inspection logs to me on the day of the inspection.

During the inspection, I asked Mr. Gilson for copies of the manifests for the shipment of waste tank bottoms that were generated back in 2019/2020 when the TBPU was down. Mr. Gilson emailed those manifests to me on the day of the inspection.
Following the inspection, I emailed Ms. Gretchen Stoddard, SME, and requested copies of records which is routine, as the bulk of documentation required for LQGs is maintained at their office in Anchorage, AK. My request for these manifests (8/6/21 through 8/6/24), along with other documentation, was sent to the facility on September 19, 2024. In that email, I asked for the documents to be provided on or before October 4, 2024. My request for documents was followed by an email from Alyeska requesting an extension to provide the requested documentation on or before October 18, 2024. I approved the extension. The requested documentation was received from the facility in two batches. Documents were received on October 18, 2024, and additional documentation was received on October 24, 2024. While inspecting the documentation received on October 24, 2024, hazardous waste manifest 013166999FLE, dated 03-21-2022, had not been signed or dated by the designated facility.

Closing Conference
At the close of the inspection, we reconvened with Dan Gilson VMT Environmental Coordinator, Klint VanWingerden VMT Director, Weston Branshaw Operations Manager, and were joined by Gretchen Stoddard Waste Management SME to conduct the closing conference. I thanked them for their time and cooperation during the inspection and began the review of the areas of concern identified during the inspection which are included in Section IV of this report.
Additionally, I told Ms. Stoddard that I would send her an email requesting documents. I explained the process that would take place once the final report was finished and submitted. Finally, I explained that they would receive a copy of the report, as would a case officer. We answered any questions they had and departed the facility at 4:45 pm.
Follow Up
I sent a request for documentation email, via the Go Anywhere platform, to Ms. Stoddard on 9/16/24 requesting the following information:
1. Copies of hazardous waste manifests, LDRs, and any applicable exception reports for the last three years, covering the period from August 6, 2021, through August 6, 2024. 2. A copy of the facility's Training Plan and/or training provided to VMT personnel and training records for VMT personnel that manage hazardous and universal waste. 3. Copies of job titles for positions related to hazardous waste management and the name of the employee filling each job, written job description for each position, and written description of type and amount of both introductory and continuing training. 4. Copies of any emergency responder agreements.
5. A copy of the VMT Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan and Quick Reference Guide.
6. A map and/or drawing of the tanks located at your facility where tank bottoms are generated during periodic tank clean-outs.
7. A list of those tanks, their identification number, as well as each tanks capacity and clean-out schedule. 8. For the tanks identified in question 7, please provide information on each tank's clean-out since the VMT started processing tank bottoms to include: - Dates of each tank clean-out and quantity of tank bottoms generated during each clean-out. - Total amount of tank bottoms generated and/or processed on-site. - Name of Contractor, contact information, and name of contractor point-of-contact that processed the tank bottoms on-site. - Total amount of ash generated as a result of processing as well as disposal paperwork associated with the ash. Please also include copies of manifests and/or bill of lading, waste profiles and/or analytical results, and shipping company and disposal location contact information. 9. Please also provide the following information regarding the VMT's Tank Bottoms Processing: - The date that Alyeska's VMT commenced on-site Tank Bottoms Processing. - Documentation and records of Alyeska's decision to initiate Tank Bottoms Processing at the VMT, and at what level was this decision made?

This was followed by a Teams meeting requested by Ms. Stoddard and Mr. Jan Shifflett, Alyeska Environmental Manager, to discuss the requested information in items #8 and #9 listed above.
During the Teams meeting, Mr. Shifflett talked about the TBPU and its operation. During the discussion, Mr. Shifflett said that the operation of the TBPU actually started around 2002. He said that an EPA inspection was conducted in 2004 and following the inspection, an EPA information request was sent to the Alyeska VMT. Mr. Shifflett and Ms. Stoddard indicated that my requests in #8 and #9 above would be labor intensive and that some of the requested information may no longer exist. Mr. Shifflett asked if they could provide the information from the 2005 information request in lieu of the information requested in items #8 and #9. Mr. Shifflett said he thought their response to the previous information request contained most of the information that I was requesting. I told them that I would be willing to do that, but indicated that after the review of the information, the items in #8 and #9 may still need to be provided.
The information requested was provided by the facility in emails dated October 18, 2024, and October 24, 2024. This requested information was received after this inspection report was completed and is not included in the Document Log of this report.
