Opening Conference
EPA Lead Inspector Katie Bradshaw and EPA Inspector Jon Jones arrived at the Eldec Corp Martha Lake facility (Eldec or facility) at 09:25 AM (PT) on 08/31/2021 for an inspection. We presented our credentials to Brian Anderson and Barbara Anderson and informed them that this was an EPA RCRA Focused Compliance Inspection. The table above presents all the inspection participants.
During the inspection we looked at the facility's processes, in addition to hazardous waste management practices, generation points, and accumulation areas. We looked for wastes that facility representatives had not yet identified or designated as hazardous.
Only those areas in which we observed areas of concern or noted other pertinent issues are discussed in this inspection report.
We were accompanied for the entirety of the inspection by Brian Anderson and Barbara Anderson.

Process Description
Aviation fuel is pumped through meters to test aerospace manufacturing equipment. There is a skid with a pump and heating system, which pressurizes the fuel. Some fuel that is tested undergoes a viscosity change, and then is pumped out to a 500-gallon tank. This fuel is sent a couple times a year to a TSD facility as usable product. The facility does not perform testing or emissions on the tank. The tank is ambient, and has a Nitrogen blanket.
Organic hazardous waste includes liquid waste collected into 55-gallon DOT containers from aqueous cleaning units, saponifiers, and some solvent parts cleaning units. The facility also has a stencil wash system, which is not characterized as hazardous waste. There were also smaller lab pack drums containing organic hazardous waste in the Central Accumulation Area.

SECTION II - OBSERVATIONS AND RECORDS REVIEW Observations
Building: Bldg 4/Fuel flow transmitter testing Contains CBI: No
Observation #: KB1-OB-003
Date: 08/31/2021
I observed six, approximately 5-gallon satellite receiver containers, labeled "Hazardous Waste," with funnels open to atmosphere. Each flow leakage container receives any overflow or leakage of jet A fuel from the testing hose when disconnected. The satellite receiver containers are emptied daily into a 55-gallon container.

Fuel condensation tank. Visual monitored for leaks weekly. Sensor to detect amount. If managed as
hazardous waste, this tank requires leak detection and repair processes per Subpart CC requirements. On
November 2, 2021 I sent an email to Brian Anderson asking if the fuel condensation tank contains hazardous
waste. He replied the same day stating that the tank contains used Jet A fuel, which flows back to the tank
farm area and is product, not hazardous waste.

I thanked everyone for their time and cooperation during the inspection and began a review of the areas of concern that I observed during my walk-through inspection of the facility. I answered any questions they had and explained the follow-up process that would take place after the inspection. I requested the following documents to be sent via email:
site drawing showing locations of tanks and hazardous waste central accumulation area waste profiles with 10% or more organic content air permits x 3 emissions report for degreasers and spray booths I received all documents on September 9, 2021, which are included in the Documents section attached to this report.
SECTION IV - SAMPLING ACTIVITIES AND ANALYTICAL RESULTS - No sampling was conducted.
