HD 1303 Facility (the "Site" or "Facility"), located at 1301 Old Steese Highway, Fairbanks, AK 99701, at 08:58 AM (AKT) on 03/06/2023 for an unannounced inspection. This was a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) inspection. The facility was inspected to ensure compliance with standards for hazardous waste generators and universal waste management (40 C.F.R. Part 262 through 273). The inspection was conducted as part of a Core Program requirement for FY 2023. 1 of 29 Home Depot USA, Inc HD 1303 Inspection Date(s): 03/06/2023 - 03/06/2023 This report is based on information supplied by Home Depot USA, Inc.

Closing Conf. Yes Yes ashley.streveler@alaska.gov Yes Yes rod_t_person@homedepot.com Yes Yes Yes Yes No Yes Opening Conference Shortly after arriving at Home Depot, we were taken to the facility breakroom where I held the opening conference. I presented my inspector credentials to and informed Mr. Rod Person, HD 1303 Store Manager, that this was an EPA Region 10 inspection to determine compliance with Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). During the opening conference, I explained that the focus of the RCRA inspection was to identify types of wastes generated, points of waste generation, methods of waste management, and review relevant documents. Only those areas in which I observed potential compliance concerns or noted other pertinent issues are discussed in Section III of this inspection report. Facility/Site Information Number of employees ~130 Length of Facility at Location Since 2002 2 of 29 Home Depot USA, Inc HD 1303 Inspection Date(s): 03/06/2023 - 03/06/2023 Operating Hours Safety Training Provided to Inspector(s)? Size of Facility What type of generator facility notified? What type of generator facility verified as? Weather Conditions Winter hours: 7:00 am to 8:00 pm, Monday through Saturday and 7:00 am to 6:00 pm on Sunday. Summer hours: 6:00 am to 10:00 pm, Monday through Saturday and 7:00 am to 8:00 pm on Sunday. No Approximately 115,000 square feet Small Quantity Generator (SQG) Small Quantity Generator (SQG) verified by store personnel Cold and cloudy Process Description During the opening conference, Mr. Person told us the wastes generated at the facility were generated either due to product being damaged as it enters the store through receiving, damaged on the shelf at the store, or customer returns that cannot be resold. We were accompanied during the inspection by Mr. Person and Ms. Woeok. I looked at the facility's processes, hazardous waste management practices, generation points, and accumulation areas. I looked for wastes that facility representatives had not yet identified or designated as hazardous. I also observed the facility's universal waste.

At the time of the inspection, the container was labeled with the word "Rechargeable." The container was not labeled as either hazardous waste or universal waste. A review of the facility's training at the end of the walk-through inspection indicated that waste batteries and lamps are managed as universal waste. Following the inspection, I received an email from Mr. Person and a second email from a Mr. Steven Lohry, Assistant Store Manager, providing the same photos showing that the container of waste batteries had been labeled with the words, "Hazardous Waste." The photo submitted did not show a hazard indicator on the container. 3 of 29 Home Depot USA, Inc HD 1303 Inspection Date(s): Document(s) 1. Corrective Actions.msg 2.

At the time of the inspection, the area on the container label where a hazard indicator is marked was labeled "None." Following the inspection, I received duplicate emails from Messrs. Person and Lohry, on 3/6/2023, providing photos showing that the container had been marked with the word "Corrosive" for the hazard indicator. Photo(s) 1. IMG_0448.jpg 2.

We were able to determine that the labels printed by the facility were in English on one side and in Spanish on the reverse side. Facility personnel reversed the labeling so that the English side was showing. The lid on the container was not closed, as it was not making a complete seal with the container. Following the inspection, I received emails from Messrs. Person and Lohry, on 3/6/2023, providing photos showing that the container had been closed. Photo(s) 1. IMG_0450.jpg 2. IMG_0451.jpg 3.

At the time of the inspection, the container held approximately eight waste aerosol cans and was not labeled or marked with the words "Hazardous Waste" or the hazard indicator. Following the inspection, I received emails from Messrs. Person and Lohry, on 3/6/2023, providing photos showing that the container of waste aerosol cans had been marked with a hazard indicator, but there was no indication in the photo that the container had been labeled with the words, "Hazardous Waste."

The container was not labeled with the words hazardous waste and only marked with half of a Flammable/Ignitable hazard indicator. While discussing this container with store personnel, it seemed as though they were unsure about the contents of the container. I explained that a waste determination was required for this waste. Following the inspection, I received emails from Messrs. Person and Lohry, on 3/6/2023, providing photos showing that the container of waste oily paint rags was marked with the hazard indicator of "Ignitable," but there was no indication that it had been labeled with the words "Hazardous Waste."

When I opened the cabinet, I saw a 2-gallon container of hazardous waste that was not closed. At the time of the inspection the container lid was not making a complete seal with the container. The container was closed by facility personnel during the inspection. I also saw a black, 5-gallon container that had the Spanish language side of the label showing. The label was reversed during the inspection so that the words "Hazardous Waste" and the hazard indicator were visible in English. 5 of 29 Home Depot USA, Inc HD 1303 Inspection Date(s): Photo(s) 1.

The container of waste fluorescent lamps was on top of the flammable storage cabinet. The container held waste lamps and was preprinted with a label that was marked with the words "Universal Waste," but was not labeled as "Universal Waste - Lamps." At the time of the inspection the container of waste lamps was not closed. I also saw one loose, 4-foot waste fluorescent lamp on the shelf above the flammable storage cabinet. At the time of the inspection, the 4-foot waste lamp was not packaged and was not labeled as a universal waste lamp. Facility personnel placed the 4-foot waste fluorescent lamp in the 8-foot waste fluorescent lamp container during the inspection. Following the inspection, I received emails from Messrs. Person and Lohry, on 3/6/2023, providing photos showing that this 8-foot container of universal waste lamps had been closed. Photo(s) 1. IMG_0464.jpg 2. IMG_0465.jpg 3. IMG_0466.jpg 4.

Image3.jpeg SECTION III - RECORDS REVIEW Record: Inspections Ref #: JJ1-RR-001 Reviewed By: Jon Jones AOC: Yes Reviewed Date: 04/19/2023 I reviewed the facility's weekly inspections that were sent to me following the inspection and saw that the facility is conducting a weekly inspection almost daily with few exceptions. Based on the inspection frequency the facility is meeting the requirement of conducting weekly hazardous waste inspections of the hazardous waste in their CAA. Based on the areas of concern that I identified during the inspection of the CAA, it is apparent that personnel conducting these inspections are either not conducting adequate inspections or are not trained to recognize the areas of concern that were identified. A weekly inspection was conducted by the facility on the day of the inspection and the areas of concern noted in the inspection were not observed and/or addressed during the facility's weekly inspection.

For this manifest, the first transporter was also the generators designated representative. At the time of the inspection the facility did not have any of the original manifests that had been signed and dated by the designated facility. The facility followed up with a request for these documents and provided them following the inspection. A review of the final signed copy of manifest #200121243CLE showed that transporter 1 had signed the manifest, on behalf of the generator, and signed in the transporter 1 box using what looked like a felt tipped marker. The use of a felt tipped marker did not transfer the signatures onto the generator copy and as such, the generator was not in possession of a generator copy that had been signed by the transporter.

It was explained to me that the training was a computer-based training and could not be printed, so I sat through the training with Mr. German Villa-Bonilla, Assistant Store Manager. While personally viewing the computer-based training, I saw that nothing was included related to labeling hazardous wastes with either the words, "Hazardous Waste" or a hazard indicator.
