Section I - INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE OF THE INSPECTION Four United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) Region 6 Air Enforcement staff ("the team") conducted an inspection at Valero Partners Houston, LLC (Valero) on September 14, 2017. The Valero facility is located at 9701 Manchester Road in Houston, Texas. We arrived at Valero at 9:30 hours, and completed Valero's safety orientation requirements. We met with Mr. Matt Lindquist, Environmental Engineering Manager, and Mr. Jeff Hude, Director, Environmental, Health and Safety 10:22 hours for introductions and a briefing on the purpose and overview of the inspection. We presented our credentials, and we informed the Valero representatives that the inspection was a partial compliance evaluation focused on Tank 228, a gasoline tank, and Tank 3, an atmospheric crude tank, to determine Valero's compliance with the Clean Air Act (CAA) regulations and the facility's Risk Management Plan (RMP). The sign-in sheet for the inspection is included as Appendix 2.
EPA is investigating whether the two tanks were contributing sources of emissions in the adjacent community during and/or in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. The scope of the inspection included an evaluation of the facility's compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Subpart CC, CAA Section 112(r)(7), and 40 CFR Part 68, Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions. The inspection included an evaluation of compliance with emission limits, installation of emission control equipment, testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements.
FACILITY DESCRIPTION The Valero facility is a mid-sized plant with a total throughput capacity of 235,000 barrels per day. The refinery began operations in 1942 and has gone through numerous modifications and expansions including feedstock for a new ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) unit, a fluidized catalytic cracking unit (FCCU). The facility, which covers approximately 250 acres, is located on the Houston ship channel, and primarily outside the Houston city limits. Valero operates a fully integrated refinery with crude distillation, FCCU, alkylation, hydrodesulphurization, sulfur recovery and fuel blending. Valero produces a wide range of petroleum products including gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel, ultra-low-sulfur diesel, liquefied petroleum gases, propylene, No. 6 fuel oil, and sulfur. Crude oil is obtained primarily by pipeline and/or ship/barge and transported to the refinery via pipelines. Products leave the refinery by pipelines, railcars, tanker trucks and marine shipping.
Regulated substances are included in flammable mixtures within the tank farm and throughout the facility in several process units. There are no toxics maintained at greater than threshold quantities in any facility process. Miscellaneous flammable mixtures and pure component streams are maintained in storage tanks and contained within process unit equipment. The facility is subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 68. Valero employs about 340 full-time employees, and the facility operates 24 hours, 7 days a week.
Section II - OBSERVATIONS
1. Incident Response [112(r)(7)] According to Valero, an incident occurred on August 27, 2017, at 8:30 hours as a result of unprecedented heavy rainfall associated with Hurricane Harvey. The weight of the rain rapidly accumulating on the external floating roof of Tank 3 caused the western side of the roof deck to deform
EPA Inspection Report - Page 3 of 34
and breach the roof seal. Crude oil mixed with water on the roof deck was released into secondary containment via tank roof drains until the drain valve was closed. The spill was contained onsite, and no oil was discharged outside the secondary containment area. At the time of the inspection, Valero was in the process of recovering light crude from Tank 3. It was determined that light crude still existed in the pontoons of the floating roof. There are 19 of these pontoons on Tank 3, and Valero is cutting 10" - 12" diameter holes in the tank wall to access and open a cover on each of the pontoons in order to remove remaining crude. Valero was also cutting an 18' x 18' opening into the side of the tank wall in preparation for the demolition of the tank roof. According to the Valero representatives, due to safety concerns, the sludge and solids under the roof will be removed during the demolition operations. Valero expected a plan to be established by September 15, 2017, and to begin the demolition operations on September 16, 2017. We observed puddles of residual material on the roof of the tank. It was also noted that Valero will conduct an inspection evaluation to determine whether Tank 3 can be put back into service or if it will need to be replaced through the construction of a new tank.
A pinhole leak developed in the drain line of Tank 228, and leaked contents of the tank (gasoline and naphtha mix) onto the surrounding area. Valero started degassing operations on Tank 228 and indicated that the tank will be completely emptied and opened up for inspection and cleaning on September 15, 2017.
Photographs of the tanks are included as Appendix 1.
2. Risk Management Plan (RMP) Valero Partners Houston, LLC, has submitted a single RMP that reflects all covered processes. As a facility with a Program 3 process, Valero must develop and implement a management system, conduct a hazard assessment, implement the prevention requirements of 40 CFR 68.65 through 68.87, develop and implement an emergency response program, and submit the data elements from 40 CFR 68.175 in their RMP. Records were requested from the facility related to the August 27, 2017, incident.
From the information provided, Tank 3 is not covered under the RMP. The substance held in the tank does not meet the criteria of the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) -4. Inspection records have been provided and a review of the records is on-going.
Tank 228 is an atmospheric tank currently holding a gasoline/naphtha mix. During the visit, the material from the tank was being pumped out of the tank. During Hurricane Harvey, Valero had to pump naphtha into Tank 228. Naphtha is normally sent to the barges; however, it was pumped into Tank 228 due to barges not being available. This is not a part of daily operations, as explained by Mr. Hude. From the information provided, Tank 228 normally holds gasoline, and is not covered under the RMP. The substance held in the tank does not meet the criteria of the NFPA -4. Valero indicated that the tank will be evaluated for its return to service when all clean up measures have been completed. Inspection records have also been provided and a review of the records is on-going.
Valero uses Guardian for tank seal gap inspections, and either HMT, Mistras, Team Qualspec, or Valero inspectors for the API 653 integrity inspections. Valero provided the two most recent Compliance Audits as required under the RMP. The last audit was conducted March 2015 and previously in June of 2012. A review of the records is on-going.
EPA Inspection Report - Page 4 of 34
EPA requested Valero's Emergency Response Plan, Offsite Consequence Analysis documentation, Hurricane Plan, and Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan, which were provided. A review of the records is on-going.
3. Permits Both tanks are incorporated in Valero's Title V permit, O3784, which was last issued June 30, 2016. The tanks are subject to the requirements of NESHAP Subpart CC. Tank 3 and Tank 228 are operated under Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) permit by rule (PBR), 30 TAC 106.261 and New Source Review (NSR) permit number 129444, respectively. Valero indicated that Tank 3 will be incorporated in NSR permit 129444 when due for renewal. Excerpts of the permits are included as Appendix 3.
4. EPA Air Monitoring We conducted air monitoring using a photoionization detector (PID) and forward looking infrared (FLIR) camera.
Tank 228: We conducted monitoring at the top, ground-level, and both upwind and downwind of the tank. We observed readings below 1 ppmv of volatile organic chemicals (VOC) with the PID. We observed very light emissions of VOC with the FLIR camera from the drain.
Tank 3: We conducted monitoring at the top, ground-level, and both upwind and downwind of the tank. We observed readings below 1 ppmv of VOC at the ground level, up to 102 ppmv of VOC at one of the westerly-facing holes to access the pontoon, up to 44 ppmv VOC at the top of the tank, and up to 45 ppmv VOC at a hole cut on the east side of the tank. We observed moderate emissions from the covers to the pontoons with the FLIR camera.
5. Valero Onsite Air Monitoring We reviewed records of onsite monitoring conducted by Valero staff for the period of August 29, 2017 through September 6, 2017. The records show few isolated instances of elevated emissions of benzene (150 part per billion [ppb] - 1250 ppb).
Section III - AREAS OF CONCERN
Other than the issues that have been mentioned above, we did not observe any areas of concern during the onsite inspection regarding Tank 228 and Tank 3.
Section IV - FOLLOW UP
No additional information was requested from Valero. EPA will conduct an offsite detailed and comprehensive review of the documents received from Valero during the inspection as a follow-up to the onsite inspection.
