I met with Candi Stansbury the General Manager and Priscilla Tenorio the Administrative Assistant. I presented my credentials to Candi and informed her that this was an EPA inspection to determine the facility's compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The scope of the inspection is a Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI) and includes evaluation of the facility's hazardous waste management activities. I provided the facility representatives with the US EPA Small Business Resources Information Sheet and the Notice Regarding Proprietary/Confidential Business Information form. FACILITY DESCRIPTION ALX Industries' 2204 Catalina Dr. facility is a recycling facility that processes photographic chemicals and films to reclaim silver. The facility consists of an office area and warehouse. The EPA ID TXR000080711 associated with the facility address of 2204 Catalina Dr last notified as a RCRA transporter, transfer facility, receiver of hazardous waste from off-site, and a recycler of hazardous waste in August of 2012. Section II - OBSERVATIONS During the opening conference I was informed by the General Manager that the founder of the company had passed away in October 2024 and the facility's bank account was frozen for about 4 months. The General Manager also shared that Amy Alexander is the Dependent Administrator and Legal Final Signatory of ALX Industries. During the walk-through of the facility, I observed the waste management containment and procedures. Warehouse: During the inspection I observed approximately 80 totes stacked two and three high throughout the warehouse (Appendix 1, photos 1 and 2). It was difficult to move around the containers as there was little to no aisle spacing (Appendix 1, photos 1 and 2). The containers that I could get to had small cards (business card style) sitting on top with a date to indicate when the material was received. The totes are full of either fixer or developer solutions used in photographic processing. I observed the electrolytic recovery area (Appendix 1, photo 1). I then observed the peristaltic recovery area that had two totes used for processing (Appendix 1, photo 3) . A map of the warehouse and operating areas was provided, and I took a picture for documentation (Appendix 1, photo 4). I observed a tote with a cutoff top in the post treatment POTW discharge area (Appendix 1, photo 7) and per the General Manager, it is rinse water from washing totes. 2 ALX Industries 2204 Catalina Dr. Inspection Date 03/03/2026 Section III - AREAS OF CONCERN (AOC) The closing meeting was attended by me, Bill Mansfield (EPA Inspector), Candi Stansbury (General Manager), and Pricilla Tenorio (Administrative Assistant). I discussed the following AOC with them: AOC(1) Aisle spacing and General Housekeeping. There was little to no room to walk or maneuver between the totes. Although there are no regulatory requirements, the ability to detect leaks or address emergencies may be hindered. I fielded questions from facility personnel and provided information about the next steps in the inspection process. Section IV - FOLLOW UP EPA is waiting for information requested from the facility. 1. POTW Permit 2. Sampling results to meet permit discharge limits 3. Payment records for penalty from 2023 EPA enforcement Order 4. eManifest SOP 5. Records showing 75% of incoming hazardous waste has been processed for the year 2025 (40 C.F.R. 261.1 (c)(8)).
