requirements for two open satellite containers and two satellite containers that did not have the hazard indicator marking on the containers. These deficiencies were corrected during the inspection.
10) Opening Conference
On December 6, 2023, EPA inspector Robert Nakamoto, accompanied by Kentucky inspectors Curtis Scott and Cammie Paul, arrived at Brenntag Mid-South, in Henderson, Kentucky, at approximately 9:00 a.m. Jacob Miller, the Site Safety, Regulatory, and Quality Coordinator, immediately received the inspectors. Jacob Miller, and the inspectors were joined by Joe Pryor, the Regional Safety & Regulatory Manager, for the opening conference. The inspectors introduced themselves, showed their credentials to Joe Pryor and Jacob Miller, and explained the purpose of the visit.
The inspectors described the anticipated use of equipment as limited to a digital camera (EPA) and cell phone (KYDEP) to take photographs during the inspection and provided a request for records. It was briefed that some areas of the plant were non-cell phone areas, but provisions for pictures would be made if needed. The EPA inspector explained that the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act's classification of a "small business" is generally set by the Small Business Administration using the business' SIC/NAICS code and annual receipts or number of employees. A copy of the EPA's information sheet for small businesses was provided to the company. The EPA inspector also discussed the company's ability, pursuant to 40 C.F.R. 2.203, to assert a business confidentiality claim for information submitted to EPA. The company did not assert a business confidentiality claim.
Joe Pryor and Jacob Miller provided an overview of the facility's history and current operations during the opening conference. The inspection participants also discussed health and safety protocols, watched a short safety video, and required personal protective equipment before Facility representative led the inspectors on a tour of the Facility operations. Bryon Mason, CSP, Director of Quality, Safety, Health, and Environment (Brenntag Mid-South), also joined the inspection.
11) Inspection Observations
Warehouse & Truck Maintenance Area The inspectors first went to the warehouse area where truck maintenance is performed. Used oil is collected in a steel used oil tank. The tank was appropriately labeled as "Used Oil" (Photograph 1). Brenntag is also an authorized hazardous waste transporter. The transportation of hazardous waste was discussed. Brenntag primarily transports its own hazardous waste when needed and has a limited service for a small portion of its customers. An aerosol can puncturing device, on top of a 55-gallon satellite accumulation container, was observed. The container was appropriately marked and labeled but was open (Photograph 2). Facility staff immediately closed the container (Photograph 3).
Pursuant to 401 KAR 39:080, Section 1(1)[40 C.F.R. 262.15(a)(4)], which is a condition of the SAA Permit Exemption, a generator is required to keep containers of hazardous waste closed
EPA-RCRA CEI Report December 6, 2023

Brenntag Mid-South, Inc. EPA ID# KYD981020159
at all times during accumulation, except when adding, removing, or consolidating waste; or when temporary venting of a container is necessary for the proper operation of equipment, or to prevent dangerous situations, such as build-up of extreme pressure.
During the walk-through of this area a single vehicle battery, without a cap, was observed (Photograph 4). Some small house-keeping issues were observed of vehicle fluid (oil) containers, and a partially full aerosol can, that were outside the door of the building (Photographs 5 and 6). The facility was advised that it would be better to keep the containers inside the building. The facility personnel located the battery cap and placed the battery with the rest of the vehicle batteries that are being recycled (Photograph 7). Brenntag Mid-South is managing its spent lead-acid vehicle batteries under the provisions of 401 KAR 39:090, Section 3 [40 C.F.R. 266 Subpart G].
Reconditioning Area (Compressed Gas Cylinder Area) In this building returned compressed gas cylinders are reconditioned. The facility will sometimes use aerosol can spray paint on the cylinders. The facility operates an acid and caustic wash bay and the effluent from this process is pH adjusted and discharged to the plant's wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) before being discharged to the city Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). In this area a can puncturing device, on top of a 55-gallon satellite accumulation container, was observed that had recently been put in operation. The container had a hazardous waste label but was missing the hazard indicator marking (Photograph 8). Facility personnel immediately affixed an appropriate hazard indicator marking (Photograph 12).
Pursuant to 401 KAR 39:080, Section 1(1) [40 C.F.R. 262.15(a)(5)(ii)], which is a condition of the SAA Permit Exemption, a generator must mark or label its container with the following: (ii) An indication of the hazards of the contents (examples include, but are not limited to, the applicable hazardous waste characteristic(s) (i.e., ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic); hazard communication consistent with the Department of Transportation requirements at 49 CFR part 172 subpart E (labeling) or subpart F (placarding); a hazard statement or pictogram consistent with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication Standard at 29 CFR 1910.1200; or a chemical hazard label consistent with the National Fire Protection Association code 704).
The container for the punctured cans had a few punctured cans in it but was inappropriately labeled as "Trash Only" (Photograph 9). The facility staff briefed that it was their intent to recycle the pierced cans. Several pierced cans were observed in a drum labeled as "Trash Only" (Photograph 10). The facility was briefed that if cans are pierced, the can must be recycled, or piercing is considered treatment of Hazardous Waste. The facility advised the inspectors that the drum was mislabeled. The facility was briefed that the punctured cans, for this exclusion, are required to be recycled as scrap metal and that the cans can be typically managed with a facility's other scrap metal. The facility staff immediately relabeled the container as "Scrap Metal" (Photograph 11).
Production Areas (Chlorine, Corrosives, and Solvents)

The inspection team walked through these inspection areas. No housekeeping or waste management issues were observed. The areas appeared to be well kept and organized. The facility's staff also briefed on the strict safety protocols that are in place due to the nature of some of the products that the company is managing.
Central Accumulation Area (CAA) This area had signage to identify the area. Ten 55-Gallon drums of hazardous waste were present (Photograph 13). The containers were all properly labeled and had hazard markings. The containers were on pallets, appeared to be in good condition, and no leaks or releases were observed. The oldest date recorded in this area was 10/23/2023. Seven 55-gallon drums of waste styrene and toluene were dated 10/23/2023, two 55-gallon containers of waste styrene and toulene were dated 11/10/2023, and one 55-gallon container of waste paint solvent was dated 12/1/2023. The company noted that yellow hazardous waste labels for transport are affixed when the transporter arrives.
The 55-gallon container of waste paint solvent, dated, 12/1/2023, was observed to have a defective bung hole cap. A small opening (gap) between the defective cap and container was observed under approximately a third of the cap with a gap of approximately an eight to a quarter of an inch (Photograph 14). Facility personnel obtained a new bung hole cap and this item was immediately corrected (Photograph 15).
Pursuant to 401 KAR 39:080, Section 1(1) [40 C.F.R. 262.17(a)(1)(iv)(A)], which is a condition of the large quantity generator permit exemption, A container holding hazardous waste must always be closed during accumulation, except when it is necessary to add or remove waste. Pursuant to 401 KAR 39:080, Section 1(1) [40 C.F.R. 262.17(a)(1)(i)], which is a condition of the large quantity generator permit exemption, (1) Accumulation of hazardous waste in containers. If the hazardous waste is placed in containers, the large quantity generator must comply with the following: (i) Air emission standards. The applicable requirements of subparts AA, BB, and CC of 40 CFR 265.
Pursuant to 401 KAR 39:090, Section 2(1) [40 C.F.R. 265.1087(c)], which is a condition of the large quantity generator permit exemption, (1) A container using Container Level 1 controls is one of the following: (i) A container that meets the applicable U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations on packaging hazardous materials for transportation as specified in paragraph (f) of this section. (ii) A container equipped with a cover and closure devices that form a continuous barrier over the container openings such that when the cover and closure devices are secured in the closed position there are no visible holes, gaps, or other open spaces into the interior of the container. The cover may be a separate cover installed on the container (e.g., a lid on a drum or a suitably secured tarp on a roll-off box) or may be an integral part of the container structural design (e.g., a "portable tank" or bulk cargo container equipped with a screw-type cap).
The CAA is equipped with a device capable of summoning emergency assistance from local police departments, fire departments, or state or local emergency response teams; it is equipped with portable fire extinguishers, fire control equipment, spill control equipment, and
EPA-RCRA CEI Report December 6, 2023

Brenntag Mid-South, Inc. EPA ID# KYD981020159
decontamination equipment; and the building is equipped with water to supply water hose streams, or foam producing equipment, or automatic sprinklers, or water spray system (Photographs 16 and 17).
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) The WWTP area was visited to observe if there were any hazardous waste issues present. The WWTP has two separate neutralization tanks (Photographs 18 and 19). No solid waste streams were observed in this area. It appeared that the only solids that would be generated would be from periodic tank cleanouts. The facility's staff briefed that no tank shutdowns and cleaning had occurred in the past six years. No generation or management of solid or hazardous waste solids was evident at the time of the inspection.
12) Records Review
Contingency Plan and Quick Reference Guide (QRG):
The actions that facility personnel should take in response to an emergency are described in the facility's "Emergency Contingency Plan", which was last updated on 2/06/2023. The Contingency Plan appeared to be complete. The plan describes actions facility personnel must take in response to fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air, soil, or surface water at the facility. The plan describes arrangements with the local police department, fire department, other emergency response teams, emergency response contractors, equipment suppliers, local hospitals and the Local Emergency Planning Committee. Facility staff briefed that they routinely host exercises with local emergency responders.
The plan lists the names and emergency telephone numbers for persons identified as emergency coordinators. Mike Theising (Plant Operations Manager) is listed as the primary emergency coordinator, and the other individuals are listed in the order in which they will assume responsibility as alternates. The plan includes a list of all emergency equipment at the facility. The list includes fire extinguishing systems, spill control equipment, communications and alarm systems, and decontamination equipment. The list appears up to date. The plan includes the location and a physical description of each item on the list, and a brief outline of its capabilities. The plan includes an evacuation plan for personnel. This plan describes signal(s) to be used to begin evacuation, evacuation routes, and alternate evacuation routes.
The quick reference guide includes the types/names of hazardous waste in layman's terms and the associated hazard associated with each hazardous waste present at any one time; the estimated maximum amount of each hazardous waste that may be present at any one time; the identification of any hazardous wastes where exposure would require unique or special treatment by medical or hospital staff; a map of the facility showing where hazardous wastes are generated, accumulated and treated and routes for accessing these wastes; the locations of water supply; the identification of on-site notification systems; and the name of the emergency coordinator(s) and emergency telephone number(s).
