Allwaste, located in Baymont, TX, provides hydro excavation services to industries, primarly pipelines. Allwaste travels to job sites that require hydro excavation of sediment around pipelines to allow for pipeline repair work. Allwaste uses high pressure water for hydro excavation and collects the sediment/dirt by vacuuming it into a collection tank. The sediment/dirt undergoes analytical testing to ensure it is nonhazardous prior to transportation off the client site. The sediment/dirt analytical includes testing for RCRA metals. Allwaste does not store any hydro-excavated material on site and transports the material directly to Enterprise Cedar Bayou at the completion of services performed. Mr. Smart stated that though material is rarely hazardous, if it is, Allwaste leaves the material on site for the client to handle all hazardous waste generator duties, including transportation of hazardous waste offsite. Allwaste transports all non-hazardous hydro-excavated material using a bill of lading to Enterprise Cedar Bayou, located at 7705 West Bay Road in Baytown, TX 77523. Mr. Smart stated Allwaste does not transport or generate any hazardous waste and that he was unaware the facility had the active EPA ID TXR000085082. Per RCRAInfo, the facility applied for an EPA ID number in 2019 and was registered only as a hazardous waste transporter.
After the opening conference, the inspection team observed Allwaste's facility. The facility consisted of an office building, yard, and maintenance shop. The maintenance shop is used for truck maintenance and used oil is generated from maintenance completed on trucks. Inside the maintenance shop, the inspection team observed one 250-gallon tank of used oil that was approximately full. The used oil container was closed and labeled "Used Oil" (see Appendix 1 - Photo 1). Allwaste recycles used oil with Flex Oil Services, which picks up the used oil as needed based on truck maintenance completed. Flex Oil Services picks up the used oil at least once per year. At the time of the inspection, Allwaste was not accumulating any universal waste.
Next, the inspection team walked through the yard that is used for parking trucks. The inspection team did not observe any waste being accumulated in the yard. The inspection team did not observe any areas of concern (AOCs) at the time of the inspection. However, further EPA review may change or add to their potential AOCs. A closing conference was conducted at approximately 11:45 AM with Allwaste personnel.
