Section I - INTRODUCTION PURPOSE OF THE INSPECTON
We, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 inspectors Tony Robledo and Aimee Boss arrived at the Enterprise GS LLC facility at approximately 9:00 a.m. on May 9, 2023, for an announced inspection. We met with facility representatives noted above at the opening meeting. We presented our credentials and informed facility personnel that this was an EPA inspection to determine compliance with the Clean Air Act (CAA) Sections 112(r)(1) and 112(r)(7). The scope of the inspection was a partial compliance evaluation (PCE) and included evaluation of the facility's compliance with 40 C.F.R. Part 68 - Chemical Accident Prevention provisions.
FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The Enterprise GC LLC (EPCO) Texas City Terminal receives and distributes refinery grade propylene, refinery grade butane, propane, butane, isobutane, and butane/butylene mix. The facility also has nine liquified petroleum gas storage tanks, and an area for the loading/unloading of trucks and rail cars. The facility handles regulated flammable chemical mixtures above the RMP threshold quantity. There are no listed toxic substances stored at the facility which exceed their respective threshold quantities. EPCO began its current ownership and operation in 2002. There are four full-time employees at this non-union facility. The facility operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Section II - OBSERVATIONS
We conducted a walk-through of the facility, accompanied by facility representatives, to observe the facility process equipment, and overall operations. We used the Forward Looking Infrared (FLIRTM) Series GF320 camera, and observed no spills, leaks, or fugitive hydrocarbon emission trails. The findings are found on the RMP Program Level 3 Checklist, located in Appendix #1.
During the walk-through, we observed that the facility was missing proper markings on piping (Photo Nos.
1, 2, 3 4 & 5 located in Appendix #2) - e.g., direction of flow, color-coding to identify the hazardous material present, placement of pipe labels, and type and size of letters on pipe labels - as required by the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Standard A13.1 (ANSI/ASME A13.1), Scheme for the Identification of Piping Systems. This standard is considered a recognized and generally accepted good engineering practice for above ground piping systems.
Section III - AREAS OF CONCERN
Close-out Meeting - We convened a closing meeting on Thursday, May 11, 2023, to discuss the Area of Concern (AOC) noted during the inspection, the inspection completion process, and to answer questions from EPCO personnel.
AOC 1. 40 C.F.R. 68.65(d)(2) - Process Safety Information
