1 INTRODUCTION
On January 23, 2025, a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Compliance Evaluation Inspection was conducted at Dana Transport (the Facility), pursuant to Section 3007 of RCRA. As part of the Inspection, an opening meeting, walkthrough, documents review and closing meeting were conducted to evaluate Facility's compliance with the requirements that govern hazardous waste generators, universal waste handlers and used oil generators, as applicable.
The Facility is located at 195 Industrial Luchetti, carretera 5 Industrial Luchetti , PR 00961-7420. Refer to Figure 1 for the location and to Figure 2 for an aerial photograph of the Facility, ATTACHMENT I.
According to EPA records, the Facility has been inspected four times from 2009 to 2020. EPA has inspected the facility three times and the State once in 2012. During the last EPA inspection in 2020 the Facility were found to have seven violations. Violations reported were related to waste determination, open containers, containers conditions, labeling, preparedness and management of Universal Waste.
2 OPENING MEETING
I arrived at the facility at 10:40 hours and initially spoke to Ms. Carmen Echevarria. Ms. Echevarria is the Driver Dispatcher of the Facility. Ms. Echevarria introduced me to Mr. Rogelio Hernandez. He is the Dana Transport Field Supervisor. Mr. Hernandez has work for the Facility for twenty-seven (27) years and has held the Field Supervisor position since 2020.
I identified myself as EPA RCRA enforcement officer and told Mr. Hernandez that the purpose of my visit was to conduct a CEI at the facility to evaluate its hazardous waste management practices and compliance. Mr. Hernandez was familiarized with the CEI process and explained that the Assistant Environmental Manager of the Facilty is Mr. David P Lacavera. During the CEI Mr. Lacavera was not able to participate. For the purpose of the CEI, Mr. Hernandez was the person in charge.
2.1 FACILITY PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Dana Transport is a transportation company under International Equipment Logistics (IEL) INC., that provides hazardous material transportation services throughout the island of Puerto Rico. The Facility started operations in 1988 and since then they have operated in the same location. By 2002, they started a tank wash operation, where they clean customers trucks tanks that were already used for fuel transportations. The Facility operates a truck tractor fleet for its services, therefore handles, stores and uses petroleum products in the form of diesel. IEL receives diesel fuel by common carrier via tank bus. Diesel is stored in an above ground storage tank with a capacity of 2,500 gallons.
The facility operates with approximately thirty (30) employees from Monday-Friday from 0600 hours1700 hours. They may work on Saturday upon request. The employees' workload is segregated as follow: nine (9) truck drivers, five (5) administrative, two (2) contractors for Human Resources, four (4) at the truck tank washer, two (2) mechanics, one (1) Wastewater Treatment Plant and seven (7) maintenance employees.

2.2 SOLID AND HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATION
According to EPA data base in RCRA Info the Facility generates the following waste codes: D001 (Ignitable), D002 (Corrosive), U002 (Acetone), U154 (Methanol), U239 (Xylene). I asked Mr. Hernandez where the Facility hazardous waste is generated, and he explained that is mostly from the residues of the tank washer operation and the WWTP.
According to Mr. Hernandez, Safety Kleen is the hauler used for the disposal of hazardous waste, and the frequency can range from one to three months. Interstate Battery is the hauler to manage used batteries. Oil Energy System is the company for the management of used oil, and IFCO Recycling is used for scrap metal.
I asked Mr. Hernandez if there is a significant change of the areas inspected from the last CEI and he replied that the Junker Area was eliminated after the last inspection.
3 FACILITY WALKTHROUGH
Mr. Hernandez accompanied me during the facility walkthrough. During the facility walkthrough the following areas were inspected:
Used Oil Recycled Area The Warehouse The Tools & Parts Equipment Area Hazardous Waste Storage Area WWTP The Tank Washer
The observations for each area are described below. Refer to Attachment 1 for pictures taken during the inspection.
3.1 USED OIL RECYCLED AREA
The area is located outside the Tools and Parts area and is identified as Recycle Area. Four (4) 55gallon blue plastic containers were on top of a wood pallet. The first two containers had pads impregnated with oil. The third container had one empty bottle of SW-30 motor oil, and the last (fourth) container had one empty spray of Harris Engine Enamel.
These containers had a recycle label, but none of them had a Used Oil or Universal Waste Label.

*See Attachment 2- Pictures from 0001-0010
3.2 TOOLS & PARTS EQUIPMENT AREA
The Tools & Parts Equipment Area is a storage room that stores mechanical tools. Inside is equipped with shelves for equipment storage and a Spill Kit container. Here I observed that there was a part washer, and it was empty and clean.
*See Attachment 2- Pictures from 0011-0014
*No concerns were observed in this area*
Outside the Tools and Part Area, I observed numerous trucks to be decommission but the Facility states that they also have them because its mechanical parts can be used to fix other trucks.
3.3 HAZARDOUS WASTE STORAGE AREA
The HWSA is a pad locked cyclone fenced square, built over a small dike with a ramp in the front and a poorly1 constructed aluminum roof. Outside and on the left side of the HWSA there is a fire extinguisher with its certification up to date, but there was no "NO SMOKE" sign observed (Reference: General (40 CFR 262 Subpart A). The fence gate had a sign that read "CAUTION HAZARDOUS WASTE STORAGE AREA". On the top left corner was the fire alarm. In addition, the HWSA did not have a water system at adequate volume and pressure to supply water hose stream, or foam in an emergency event (Reference: 40 CFR 262 SUBPART M). The right side of the HWSA had a sign, without a dated emergency name and locations of the Fire Department, Police, Hospitals, National Response Center and EQB (now Department of Environmental and Natural Resources).
At the time of the inspection the control valve that regulates spills to the outside at the dike around the HWSA was found to be broken.
Reference: 40 CFR 262 SUBPART M 262.251 -Maintenance and operation of facility
Inside the HWSA I observed the following:
One-55 gallon blue plastic container with waste hazardous liquid with sodium hydroxide dated 1/17/25 with the appropriate label and pictogram.
One-55 gallon blue plastic container with waste hazardous liquid with sodium hydroxide dated 1/23/25 with the appropriate label and pictogram.
One-55 gallon black plastic container with waste hazardous liquid with sodium hydroxide dated 12/06/24 with the appropriate label and pictogram.
1 Layers of aluminum sheets one on top of the other that are not attached.

During the observation of this area, I told Mr. Hernandez that aisle space was not observed and the importance of such practice.
Reference: 40 CFR 262 SUBPART M 262.255-Required aisle space
*See Attachment 2- Pictures from 0022-0061
3.4 WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT & TANK WASHER AREA
This area consists of an open building that has concrete floor, two (2) washing stations and the WWTP. This concrete floor has drains that collects wash waters and directs them to the WWTP2 to be treated prior to be discharged to PRASA3.
Next to the WWTP I observed two Steel Pallets IBC tanks with a Non-Hazardous waste label. The two tanks had effluent residues inside, but one of the tanks had a top broken opening space uncovered. None of the tanks were in use at the time of the inspection. I asked Mr. Hernandez why there was no cover on the tanks and according to him is not mandatory to have the opening covered when not in used.
On the side wall I also observed: Five (5) 55-gallon blue containers labeled non-hazardous waste caustic sodium. According to Mr. Hernandez, the labels were to identify the content but not waste, it was material to be use. I explained Mr. Hernandez that wrongfully labeling container can cause misunderstanding and mismanagement in an emergency. Mr. Hernandez immediately proceeded to take away the labels of all five containers.
Another observation made during the inspection was that the WWTP has several joints leaking all the time. This observation was documented on the Multimedia checklist4 and referred to the appropriate EPA Branch.
See Attachment 2- Pictures from 0064-0090
2 This WWTP treat the wash water generated at the wash stations and were collected at the drain located at the concrete
floor. Then, the latter is transferred to an influent tank. After this, the waste water is treated at the WWTP and then
transferred to an effluent tank that discharges via Waste Water (WW) sample point 001. 3 Description taken from previous report March 04, 2020 4 See Attachment III

3.5 OUTSIDE AREAS Outside the WWPT and Tank Washer, the facility has a 15-yard dumpster for Scrap Metal.
*See Attachment 2- Pictures from #91-#93
The facility perimeter goes beyond its own fence where unused tanks are dumped waiting to be decommissioned.
*See Attachment 2- Pictures from #95-#99 and #100-#101
I walked the outside east perimeter of the facility and found a well, covered with vegetation and the sign to identify the well was covered with mud. Mr. Hernandez proceeded to clean the sign and put it back on.
*See Attachment 2- Pictures from #101-#106
On the west side of the Facility there is a waiting station for trucks. In this area I observed, another diesel dike where a check valve was broken and needed to be fixed. During the inspection Mr. Hernandez took immediate action to fix the valve (Picture #105).
I also observed an oil tramp where the top lid did not cover the entire opening leaving it partially open.
*See Attachment 2- Pictures #107

5 CLOSING MEETING
After completion of the walkthrough and document review, I met with Mr. Hernandez to conduct a closing meeting. I indicated that the purpose of the closing meeting was to inform the facility about the CEI observations. I communicated Mr. Hernandez the following:
6 POTENTIAL AREAS OF CONCERN
6.1 GENERATORS
On April 09, 2024, the Facility notified of its hazardous waste activities as large quantity generator. During the inspection, I confirmed Facility's generator status by verifying its disposal events as described in the manifests and/or the quantity of hazardous waste that was being accumulated onsite (i.e. over 1,000 or 6,000 kg). Based on the observations and information gathered during the inspection, the following areas of concern were identified:
6.1.1 General (40 CFR 262 Subpart A)
262.17 Conditions for exemption for a large quantity generator that accumulates hazardous waste.
40 CFR 262.17(a)(1)(ii) Condition of Containers
If a container holding hazardous waste is not in good condition, or if it begins to leak, the large quantity generator must immediately transfer the hazardous waste from this container to a container that is in good condition, or immediately manage the waste in some other way that complies with the conditions for exemption of this section.
At the time of the inspection the lid from one of the HWSA containers was observed cracked.
40 CFR 262.17(a)(1)(v) Inspections
At least weekly, the large quantity generator must inspect central accumulation areas. The large quantity generator must look for leaking containers and for deterioration of containers caused by corrosion or other factors. See paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section for remedial action required if deterioration or leaks are detected. During the review of the Weekly Inspection Log I observed that the inspection checklist provides a statement for the check valve, and it was marked as in good condition for the recent days, when in fact, was broken.
40 CFR 262.17(a)(1)(vi)(B) Special conditions for accumulation of ignitable and reactive wastes
Status: Final
10
CEPD-RCRA-09-0141
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Dana Transport PRR000018259
While ignitable or reactive waste is being handled, the large quantity generator must confine smoking and open flame to specially designated locations. "No Smoking" signs must be conspicuously placed wherever there is a hazard from ignitable or reactive waste.
At the time of the Inspection the "No Smoke" sign was not observed in the HWSA.
40 CFR 262.17(a)(7)(iv) Personnel training
The job title for each position at the facility related to hazardous waste management, and the name of the employee filling each job.
Mr. Rogelio Hernandez, the Facility field supervisor Job Description was not available at the time of the CEI
40 CFR 262.17(a)(9) Land disposal restrictions
The large quantity generator complies with all applicable requirements under 40 CFR part 268. 40 CFR 268.7(a)(8) Generators must retain on-site a copy of all notices, certifications, waste analysis data, and other documentation produced pursuant to this section for at least three years from the date that the waste that is the subject of such documentation was last sent to on-site or off-site treatment, storage, or disposal. The three-year record retention period is automatically extended during the course of any unresolved enforcement action regarding the regulated activity or as requested by the Administrator.
During the review of the Hazardous Waste Manifest I noticed that the LDR certification receipt was missing on the February 2022 manifest.
6.1.2 Manifest Requirements (40 CFR 262 Subpart B)
40 CFR 262.20(a)(1) Paper manifest
A generator that transports, or offers for transport a hazardous waste for offsite treatment, storage, or disposal, or a treatment, storage, or disposal facility that offers for transport a rejected hazardous waste load, must prepare a Manifest (OMB Control number 2050-0039) on EPA Form 8700-22, and, if necessary, EPA Form 8700-22A. Large and small quantity generators must register with the EPA's eManifest system to obtain signed and dated copies of completed manifests from the EPA e-Manifest system and comply with paragraph (a)(2) of this section.

During the review of the Hazardous Waste Manifest the certification of receipt signature was missing from the following manifests: November 2022, September and December 2024.
40 CFR 262.27(a) Waste minimization certification
"I am a large quantity generator. I have a program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of waste generated to the degree I have determined to be economically practicable, and I have selected the practicable method of treatment, storage, or disposal currently available to me which minimizes the present and future threat to human health and the environment;"
The Hazardous waste minimization was not available during the Documents Review
6.1.3 Recordkeeping and Reporting Applicable to Small and Large Quantity Generators (40 CFR 262 Subpart D)
40 CFR 262.41(a) Biennial report for large quantity generators
A generator who is a large quantity generator for at least one month of an odd-numbered year (reporting year) who ships any hazardous waste off-site to a treatment, storage or disposal facility within the United States must complete and submit EPA Form 8700-13 A/B to the Regional Administrator by March 1 of the following even-numbered year and must cover generator activities during the previous year.
During the documents review I observed that the Biennial Report Form 8700-13 A/B was submitted EPA on 04/09/24. The EPA deadline was on March 1st 2024
6.1.4 Preparedness, Prevention, and Emergency Procedures for Large Quantity Generators (40 CFR 262 SUBPART M)
40 CFR 262.251 Maintenance and operation of facility
A large quantity generator must maintain and operate its facility to minimize the possibility of a fire, explosion, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air, soil, or surface water which could threaten human health or the environment.

40 CFR 262.252 Required equipment
(d) Water at adequate volume and pressure to supply water hose streams, or foam producing equipment, or automatic sprinklers, or water spray systems.
At the time of the inspection the HWSA did not have a water system at adequate volume and pressure to supply water hose stream, or foam in an emergency event.
40 CFR 262.255 Required aisle space
The large quantity generator must maintain aisle space to allow the unobstructed movement of personnel, fire protection equipment, spill control equipment, and decontamination equipment to any area of facility operation in an emergency, unless aisle space is not needed for any of these purposes.
During the observation of the HWSA, aisle space was not observed in between containers.
40 CFR 262.261 Content of contingency plan
(b) If the generator has already prepared a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan in accordance with part 112 of this chapter, or some other emergency or contingency plan, it need only amend that plan to incorporate hazardous waste management provisions that are sufficient to comply with the standards of this part.
(c) The plan must describe arrangements agreed to with the local police department, fire department, other emergency response teams, emergency response contractors, equipment suppliers, local hospitals or, if applicable, the Local Emergency Planning Committee, pursuant to 262.256.
(d) The plan must list names and emergency telephone numbers of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator (see 262.264), and this list must be kept up to date. Where more than one person is listed, one must be named as primary emergency coordinator, and others must be listed in the order in which they will assume responsibility as alternates. In situations where the generator facility has an emergency coordinator continuously on duty because it operates 24 hours per day, every day of the year, the plan may list the staffed position (e.g., operations manager, shift coordinator, shift operations supervisor) as well as an emergency telephone number that can be guaranteed to be answered at all times.
During the evaluation of the Contingency Plan Mr. Hernandez could not provide evidence of emergency agencies notification.

**Guidance for completing the Multi-Media Inspection Checklist**
The Multi-Media Screening Checklist should be filled out during the visit. Inspectors are not expected to be experts in all media. If something looks odd or suspicious, use the provided questions, document and take photos of the suspicious activity. If you answer yes to any of the questions below, inform the MMRC ASAP that you observed possible non-compliance in another program area during your
inspection and send the checklist including comments and photographs to complete the referral.
Inspectors should record preliminary observations on this checklist, which can assist in determining compliance at a later date. Compliance determinations are not made in the field.
Please remember when submitting this checklist to provide detailed comments and photos for each section you observe possible non-compliance activities
