Section I - INTRODUCTION
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
PURPOSE OF THE INSPECTION
EPA Region 6 inspectors Kara Allen, Sophia Ong, Benjamin Rosenthal, and Colleen McCarthy ("I"), and EPA Region 5 inspectors Karina Kuc, Constantinos Loukeris, and Victoria Nelson ("we" or the "inspection team") arrived at the Union Carbide Corporation ("Union Carbide" or "UCC") St. Charles Operations ("SCO" or the "Facility") at 13:20 on September 23, 2024 for an unannounced inspection. Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality ("LDEQ") inspector Nathan Ward also participated in the inspection. We met with Lolita Tillery-Grant, EHS Delivery Leader; Philip Speyrer, Environmental Leverage Specialist; Jamie Williams, Senior Environmental Regional Delivery Leader; and Gus Becnel, Environmental Technician. I presented my credentials to Ms. Grant and informed them that this was an EPA inspection to determine compliance with the facility's Title V Air Permits and the Clean Air Act ("CAA"). The scope of the inspection is a partial compliance evaluation ("PCE") and includes evaluation of the facility's compliance with its Title V Operating Permits, Louisiana State Implementation Plan ("SIP"), and applicable CAA regulations listed under Parts 60, 61, and 63 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations ("CFR"). This inspection specifically focuses on the National Emission Standard for Benzene Waste Operations, 40 CFR Part 61 Subpart FF ("Subpart FF" or "BWON").
On September 24, 2024, EPA Region 6 inspector John Penland joined the inspection team. Inspector Penland conducted an unannounced inspection at the Facility for compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"). This inspection focused on the generation and management of wastewater generated by operations at the Facility and was conducted in conjunction with the CAA inspection. Inspector Penland presented credentials to Mr. Philip Speyrer and informed Mr. Speyrer that he was on-site to conduct an inspection of the facility under the authority of Section 3007 of RCRA.
FACILITY DESCRIPTION
Union Carbide Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Dow Chemical Company, owns and operates the St. Charles Operations chemical manufacturing complex in Hahnville, Louisiana. It consists of over 15 different process units and operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Facility produces a range of products including, but not limited to, acrylic acid, acrolein, various amines, butanol products, alkyloxylates, various glycols, low-pressure polyethylene, ethylene, propylene, and ethylene oxide.
Olefins Plant The Olefins Plant operates under Title V Permit No. 2422-V11 issued by LDEQ on February 27, 2024. The Plant contains two ethylene production units, Olefins 1 and Olefins 2, which are subject to the ethylene maximum allowable control technology ("EMACT") standards under 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart YY. Each unit utilizes furnaces to crack raw material (ethane, propane, or naphtha) into ethylene and other byproducts. The raw material is introduced to the furnaces as feedstock where it combines with process steam as a diluent. The combined stream passes through a preheater in the flue of the furnace and then enters the radiant side of the firebox, where the thermal reaction cracks the feed into ethylene, propylene, and other alkenes. The reaction products are then quenched in a quench tower to generate

high pressure steam and cool the furnace gas. The furnace gas is sent to the fractionator and quench areas for cooling and product separation.
In fractionation, the hot furnace gas is cooled with a quench oil cycle and the heavy pyrolysis fuel oil (C10+) is removed. The furnace gas then continues through a quench section where a quench water cycle further cools the gas, and dripolene (pyrolysis gasoline) is removed in a decanting operation. The dripolene removed is pumped to dripolene storage tanks owned and operated by Vopak. Some of the process streams from the decanter can be recovered in the tar pot and returned to the quench oil cycles. The water generated in the decanter goes through an oil-water separator before being treated in a process water stripper or is routed directly to a process water stripper. The effluent from the process water stripper can supply the dilution steam generator ("DSG") which then supplies dilution steam back to the furnaces. The DSG generated steam can also be routed to the wastewater treatment plant.
The remaining furnace gas (C5 and lighter materials) is routed to suction drums and a compression system. Compression occurs in five stages. After the third stage suction drum, the compressed furnace gas goes through an acid gas system to remove carbon dioxide and neutralize any acid present in the gas. Wastewater generated in the acid gas systems, from spent caustic, is collected in process sewer sumps and routed to wastewater tanks 1311 or 1321. The wastewater in tanks 1311 and 1321 feeds the East and West wastewater strippers for treatment before the effluent is routed to the wastewater treatment plant.
Following the acid gas system, the furnace gas continues compression in the fourth and fifth stages. After compression, the gas is dried, sent to cold separators, and routed through multiple distillation columns to recover ethylene, propylene, and other products. Many products from the Olefins Plant supply feed to other process units at the Facility or can be sent off-site.
Wastewater Treatment Plant The wastewater treatment plant ("Environmental Operations" or "EOB") is located on-site at SCO. EOB handles and treats SCO's stormwater and individual plant-produced wastewater streams, and wastewater from Amerchol's Greensburg, Louisiana facility. EOB was owned and operated by Union Carbide until November 11, 2023. Since November 11, 2023, Dow Hydrocarbons and Resources, LLC owns the infrastructure assets at EOB. Dow InfraCo LLC operates the assets at EOB. Both Dow Hydrocarbons and Resources, LLC and Dow InfraCo LLC are sub-entities of the Dow Chemical Company. EOB operates under Title V Permit No. 2104-V6 issued by LDEQ on November 11, 2023.
Section II - OBSERVATIONS
September 23, 2024
The inspection team met with Union Carbide representatives, including Charles Cuti, Leveraged Air Specialist; Thomas Nichols, Leveraged Air Specialist; and Van LeGaux, Olefins 1 Technical Advisor who joined the opening conference virtually, in Union Carbide's conference room (see Appendix 3 for

EPA Inspection Report - Page 5 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
opening conference sign-in sheets). After presenting my credentials to Ms. Grant, I explained the scope of the inspection and planned inspection activities. We shared our intent to tour of the facility and conduct interviews with facility personnel throughout the inspection.
I stated we would inspect the facility's wastewater systems, primarily focused on benzene-containing wastewater and the wastewater treatment plant. I explained that we would use flame ionization detectors ("FID") and optical gas imaging cameras ("OGIC") to monitor for emissions from equipment. Logs of photographs and videos taken during the inspection are found in Appendices 1 and 2, respectively. I also stated we would collect evacuated canister air samples for analysis of chemical species using EPA Method TO-15 ("Summa Samples"). EPA's Summa Sample results are found in Appendix 8. Union Carbide's Summa Sample results are found in Appendix 9.
According to Union Carbide representatives, the only process unit at the Facility known to have benzene-containing wastewater is the Olefins Plant. The Olefins Plant is comprised of two Olefins units, referred to throughout this inspection report and by facility personnel as Olefins 1 and Olefins 2. The Olefins units are ethylene production units subject to the EMACT and generate waste required to comply with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart XX ("Subpart XX"). Subpart XX requires affected sources to comply with BWON. Union Carbide has reported that its aqueous waste is more than 10 megagrams ("Mg") of benzene per year; therefore, it is required to implement a strategy to control benzene emissions from the facility waste operations. Union Carbide elects to follow the BWON compliance option as described in 40 CFR 61.342(c), also known as the "2 Mg" option.
Olefins Units Wastewater Overview
During the opening conference, Mr. Cuti presented process flow diagrams ("PFDs") showing the general flow of streams through the Olefins units. According to the PFDs, many of the benzene-containing waste streams at the Facility are collected in drain hubs in Olefins 1 and Olefins 2 and drain to the respective unit's process sewer. Most of the drain hubs in the Olefins 1 and 2 are open to atmosphere. From the process sewers, the wastewater is routed to external floating roof tanks 1301, 1331, 1311, or 1321 ("wastewater tanks"). Benzene-containing waste streams from various sumps located at the docks and storage tanks are also routed to the wastewater tanks.
The wastewater tanks are external floating roof tanks owned and operated by Vopak Industrial Infrastructure America St. Charles, LLC ("Vopak"). Vopak stores the benzene-containing wastewater and sends it back to Union Carbide where it is routed to one of three wastewater strippers ("WWS"). Union Carbide claims the waste streams from the wastewater tanks as controlled for benzene under BWON. Union Carbide owned and operated the wastewater tanks prior to their sale to Vopak in December 2020. When Union Carbide was operating the tanks, they were used as wastewater holding tanks to control the wastewater flow to the strippers.
Mr. Cuti explained that Union Carbide communicates with Vopak about operations and does not coordinate or communicate about environmental compliance efforts. Union Carbide and Vopak have
5
EPA Inspection Report - Page 6 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
integrated personnel for operations at the site. Mr. Cuti also stated that Vopak does not certify compliance with Subpart FF regarding the management and operations of the wastewater tanks. I asked Union Carbide personnel if Union Carbide was aware that Vopak submitted a letter to LDEQ claiming non-applicability to Subpart FF and a permit application removing Subpart FF applicability from their permit. Mr. Cuti stated that Union Carbide was not aware of Vopak's letter or permit application removing Subpart FF applicability. [Area of concern ("AOC") 1 and 24]
The wastewater stored in tanks 1301 and 1331 goes to the #3 WWS. Mr. Cuti stated the #3 WWS is a steam stripper that was installed in the plant around 1998 and that the #3 WWS was certified for use as a Subpart FF WWS in 2015 for treatment of benzene-containing wastewater. The effluent of the #3 WWS is monitored with a benzene analyzer that automatically controls flow direction. If the effluent of the #3 WWS measures greater than 475 parts per billion ("ppb") benzene, the stream is routed back to tanks 1301 and 1331. If the effluent of the #3 WWS measures less than 475 ppb benzene, the stream is routed to EOB for treatment.
The PFDs presented by Mr. Cuti indicated the wastewater stored in tanks 1311 and 1321 is generated from the acid gas systems at the Olefins units. Olefins 1 and 2 have separate acid gas systems. In the acid gas systems, Union Carbide identified wastewater streams subject to BWON from the MEA sumps, NaOH sumps, and caustic decanters that are routed to tanks 1311 and 1321. From tanks 1311 and 1321, the wastewater is routed to the East and West WWSs. The East and West WWSs were installed approximately in 1998. They operate similarly to the #3 WWS and have continuous benzene analyzers measuring the effluent concentration to determine if flow should be directed back to wastewater tanks or to EOB.
The inspection team also inquired about the stormwater system. Union Carbide representatives described the stormwater system which collects stormwater and routes it to one of three stormwater skimmers. From the skimmers, the stormwater is pumped to stormwater tank T-702. T-702 acts as a storage tank for the stormwater in the Olefins units prior to being routed to EOB through a stormwater header. Prior to making it to EOB, the stormwater is analyzed for benzene. If the benzene analyzer detects greater than 475 ppb benzene, it is diverted to the wastewater tanks. [AOC 2]
We also discussed the DSGs in the Olefins units. According to Mr. LeGaux, use of the DSG varies by unit and the Olefins 1 DSG has not been used in approximately two years. Olefins 2 runs the DSG intermittently. When the DSGs run, quench water is routed through the process water stripper and the tails can be routed to the DSG or directly to EOB. According to Mr. LeGaux, approximately two thirds of the process water stripper steam is converted to dilution steam and routed back to the furnaces. Excess dilution steam is sent to EOB. The blowdown steam from the DSG is monitored with a continuous benzene analyzer. If the analyzer measures greater than 475 ppb benzene, the blowdown steam is routed to wastewater tanks through the process sewers. If the analyzer measures less than 475 ppb benzene, the blowdown steam can be routed directly to EOB [AOC 5]. Union Carbide identified the stream from the process water strippers to the DSGs as points of waste generation ("POG") as defined by 40 CFR 61.341. [AOC 6]

Total Annual Benzene ("TAB")
During the opening conference, the inspection team and Union Carbide personnel also discussed how the TAB quantity for the Facility is determined. Mr. Cuti displayed two Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and a previously submitted TAB report for EPA inspectors to review. One spreadsheet was a TAB report workbook with sampling data and analyses used to generate the TAB report for compliance with the reporting requirements in 40 CFR 61.357. The second spreadsheet identified POGs, as determined by Union Carbide, and PFDs for the Olefins units.
Upon initial review of the TAB report Mr. Cuti shared, we noted Union Carbide reported a total of 17 POG locations (See Appendix 4: Previous TAB Reports). EPA evaluated the reported streams and noted that many of the POGs included points downstream of where the waste would have exited the process or a waste management unit ("WMU"). Union Carbide identifies multiple streams feeding into drain hubs, process sewers, and sumps as a POG. As confirmed by Mr. Cuti, Union Carbide considers these POGs at the point in which they are combined. [AOCs 2, 6] Mr. Cuti told EPA inspectors that Union Carbide bases the TAB report off characteristics of the process sewers determined in 1999. The 1999 evaluation of the process sewer claims no stream was greater than 10 parts per million ("ppm") benzene in the individual drain systems ("IDS"). Ms. Grant and Mr. Cuti indicated that, to their knowledge, the Facility has not conducted any re-evaluations or sampling of the IDS streams since the late 1990s. [AOCs 2, 6, 7]
According to TAB reports, the only streams Union Carbide considers controlled for benzene emissions are the East, West, and #3 WWS feeds, and wastes sent off-site for disposal. The streams feeding each WWS come from the wastewater tanks at Vopak [AOC 1, 6, 8, 24]. Mr. Cuti presented PFDs that included labels identifying where Union Carbide claims POG locations. We noted that Union Carbide identified POGs at the Olefins 1 and 2 hubs prior to entering the process water sewers and at various sumps before combining at the wastewater tanks. I described that based on the PFDs, the POGs are being counted multiple times and Mr. Cuti agreed with that description. Mr. Cuti was unsure how the POG locations were identified. [AOCs 2, 6, 7]
A column on the TAB report is labeled "Will stream be controlled for benzene?" and I asked Mr. Cuti how the values (yes or no) in the column were determined. Mr. Cuti indicated that the column is intended to show which streams Union Carbide claims as controlled or uncontrolled to calculate the TAB quantity and demonstrate compliance with the 2 Mg option. Mr. Cuti also described how UCC calculates the TAB quantity by using historic sampling data, monthly sampling data, or continuous benzene analyzer data at POGs. Mr. Cuti stated that the determination for whether the stream is controlled is based on the sampling data and not based on how the stream was managed throughout the reporting year. [AOCs 8, 24, 25]
Following the discussions about the facility operations, I explained our planned inspection activities for the following day, including our intent to inspect the Olefins units and conduct monitoring with FIDs and
7
EPA Inspection Report - Page 8 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
OGICs. EPA inspectors requested information on ethylene oxide ("EtO") industrial hygiene ("IH") monitoring and the respective data. Mr. Cuti indicated he would communicate with UCC staff responsible for IH monitoring and records and provide the data to us for our review before entering process units the next day. I also summarized records we requested throughout the opening conference (See Appendix 5 for Inspection Document Requests).
At 16:48, EPA inspectors watched the Facility's safety video. At 17:00, EPA inspectors departed the Facility.
September 24, 2024
On September 24, 2024, we arrived at the Facility at 08:40 and met Mr. Cuti. John Penland, EPA Region 6 RCRA inspector, joined the inspection team. We discussed our intent to conduct a tour of the Olefins 1 and 2 units and conduct EPA Method 21 monitoring with FIDs and utilize OGICs to screen for emissions. Calibration gas information and FID calibration information for the inspection is found in Appendix 6. FID field measurement data is found in Appendix 7.
Mr. Cuti escorted us to the conference room where we met with Ed Walden, EH&S Technologist Lead. Mr. Walden told EPA inspectors that Union Carbide maintains EtO industrial hygiene data from badges in process areas. EPA inspectors requested the EtO industrial hygiene data for a second time on September 24, 2024, and Mr. Walden indicated that Union Carbide would provide the badge data including all lab analyses, analytical methods, locations of industrial hygiene monitors, and chain of custody forms to EPA.
While in the conference room, Union Carbide provided a blank Subpart FF visual inspection form as requested during our discussion during the opening conference. Mr. Cuti stated all visual inspections the Facility completes for Subpart FF are identified on the form. The form only identified inspections for the three WWSs and associated closed vent systems. The forms did not identify any other waste management units. [AOCs 2, 3]
Olefins 1 Control Room
At 09:50, we arrived at the Olefins 1 control room. We met Jay Swart, Olefins 1 Furnace Operator, who showed us the Olefins 1 control board he monitors. Mr. Swart explained that Olefins 1 receives propane or ethane as raw material to feed the furnaces. Olefins 1 has a total of 11 furnaces: seven Lummus furnaces, two carbide furnaces, and two SWEC furnaces. The SWEC furnaces are twin cells and can also use naphtha as a feedstock. The furnaces crack the feed gas which produces steam. Steam is sent to the superheater which turns the turbines. The cracked gas from the Lummus and carbide furnaces is then sent to the North quench system and the cracked gas from the SWEC furnaces is sent to the South quench system.
8
EPA Inspection Report - Page 9 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
Mr. Swart indicated that Olefins 1 routes process water to a DSG but it is used intermittently. At the time of inspection, Olefins 1 was not running the DSG. Mr. Swart stated the four reboilers operate at the DSG drum where dilution steam is generated and subsequently fed back to the furnaces. Condensate is sent to two deaerators which feed boilers and ultimately feeds back to the furnaces. When the DSG is running, the DSG blowdown is cooled and is hard piped to EOB if the benzene analyzer measures that the blowdown meets specification ("on-spec"). If the blowdown from DSG does not meet specification ("off-spec"), the stream is directed to the #3 WWS via tanks 1301 or 1331. [AOC 5]
After reviewing the furnace control board, inspectors met Reid Pichon, Olefins 1 Quench Operator, to review the quench systems control board. Mr. Pichon showed the inspection team that gas from the Lummus and carbide furnaces goes to the north quench tower (DA-1445). The quench water from DA1445 is routed to a decanter (FA-1449) where the oil is decanted, routed to the tar pot (FA-1446), and then sent to the fractionator (DA-101) in the south quench system. Mr. Pichon and Mr. Cuti confirmed that the tar pot receives pyrolysis gas. The water separated in the decanter is sent to an oil water separator (FA-1456) which has a dripolene weir. The dripolene is pumped to storage at Vopak and the water is routed to the process water stripper (DA-1463).
The south quench system receives gas from the SWEC furnaces at the fractionator (DA-101). The fractionator assists in the removal of heavy pyrolysis fuel oil. The stream of heavy pyrolysis fuel oil is sent to a fuel oil stripper (FA-102). From FA-102, fuel oil is routed to a fuel oil storage tank and a stream is routed back to the fractionator. The main furnace gas line off the fractionator goes to the south quench tower (DA-103). The quench water from DA-103 is routed to a decanter (FA-119) to separate out any oils including dripolene. The oil from the decanter is pumped to dripolene storage tanks at Vopak or used in the unit. The water from FA-119 is sent to the process water stripper (DA-1463). Mr. Pichon indicated the tails of DA-1463 are monitored with continuous benzene and total organic carbon ("TOC") analyzers. At the time of inspection, the tails of DA-1463 were directed to EOB. At 10:11, the analyzers were reading 51.39 ppm TOC and 140 ppb benzene. Mr. Cuti noted that the process water stripper tails will divert to wastewater tanks 1301 or 1331 if the analyzers measure 475 ppb benzene or 500 ppm TOC.
Following the north and south quench towers, the furnace gas continues through compression. Mr. Pichon displayed the stages of compression on the control board and noted that the furnace gas goes through five stages of compression in a total of eight suction drums. After the third stage of compression, the compressed gas is sent to the acid gas system.
We met Lesly Holbrooks, Acid Gas Operator, to review the acid gas system control board. Mr. Holbrooks described the process in which the compressed gas is received from the third stage discharge separator and can go through the MEA cycle or caustic tower. Mr. Holbrooks indicated that the MEA cycle was down at the time of inspection, so the system was running the caustic tower. Blowdowns from the caustic tower are captured in a knock-out pot ("KO pot"), FA-126. The KO pot knocks out caustic and dripolene and is routed to the decanter (FA-163). Dripolene decanted is routed to the south quench system and water is routed to tank 1321. Gas from the KO pot is routed to the Olefins 1 flare. After the
9
EPA Inspection Report - Page 10 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
acid gas system, the furnace gas continues compression in the fourth stage and then fifth stage before continuing to distillation columns.
We also noticed that the control board in Olefins 1 included the stormwater skimmers and stormwater tank, T-702. Operators stated drains in the Olefins 1 unit collect at skimmers. Olefins 1 has two skimmers, East and West. The oil from the skimmers is directed to wastewater tanks 1301 and 1331. The stormwater is pumped to T-702. From T-702, water is routed to EOB for treatment. At the time of inspection, we observed the analyzer reading 0 ppb benzene from T-702.
While in the control room, we discussed with Union Carbide personnel that various pieces of equipment that may be generating and discharging benzene-containing wastewater were not included in the TAB reports or POGs identified as reviewed the previous day. [AOC 6]
Olefins 1 Field Observations
At 10:30, EPA inspectors departed from the Olefins 1 control room to enter the Olefins 1 unit for field observations. Two Think Environmental Leak Detection and Repair ("LDAR") technicians, Dennis Fleming and Donald Lyons, joined to conduct concurrent monitoring with EPA inspectors. Union Carbide contracts Think Environmental ("Think") to conduct LDAR monitoring throughout the Facility. FID field measurement data for September 24, 2024, is included in Table 1 of Appendix 7.
EPA inspectors monitored various stage suction drums in the gas compression system. Inspector Ong climbed FA-1477, a third stage suction drum, and conducted Method 21 monitoring on the accessible components at the platform. I also climbed FA-1477 with an OGIC and observed that the closed vent system was not accessible for complete visual inspection from the existing platform. [AOC 4] Inspector Ong monitored the equipment at the platform which appeared to be regulators and pressure gauges (Photos 2, 3, and 4). Inspector Ong's FID flamed out twice while monitoring at the gauges. [AOC 9] Mr. Lyons told Inspector Ong that Think does not monitor the instrumentation on suction drums.
Inspector Nelson conducted Method 21 monitoring at FA-1476, a second stage suction drum, and detected greater than 10,000 ppm VOC on regulators and gauges at the platform at the top of the drum. [AOC 9] Mr. LeGaux observed Inspector Nelson's FID measurements during the monitoring event. Mr. LeGaux indicated that he believed the gauges on the first through third stage suction drums were methane blowback lines and our FID were reading methane only. While monitoring the components on the second stage suction drum, Inspector Nelson observed New Source Performance Standard ("NSPS") tags 3Y56275 and 3Y56276.
North of suction drums FA-1476 and FA-1477, inspectors observed a dimethyl sulfide ("DMS") sump and noted strong odors.
At 11:46, EPA Inspectors Ong and Rosenthal climbed a 5th stage suction drum, FA-1479, to conduct Method 21 monitoring (Photo 9 and 10). I was told by Mr. LeGaux that the 4th and 5th stage suction
10
EPA Inspection Report - Page 11 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
drums had blowback lines like the first through third stages, except the 4th and 5th stages were ethylene blowback. [AOC 9]
While on the platform of FA-1479, Inspector Rosenthal observed a plug hanging from a potential openended line on an overhead line north of the suction drum (Photo 8). [AOC 10] The origin of the line could not be determined.
Inspector Loukeris conducted Method 21 monitoring near the south quench decanter, FA-119. Inspector Loukeris detected emissions greater than 500 ppm VOC at various decanter drains to the Olefins 1 process sewer (Photo 1 and Videos 1, 2, and 3). Mr. Fleming was unable to confirm those readings with Think's FID. However, Inspector Nelson monitored the same locations and confirmed Inspector Loukeris's observations.
Inspector Loukeris also conducted Method 21 monitoring at the Old Tar Pot, FA-1446, and detected above 3,000 ppm VOC at various locations. Inspectors Loukeris and Allen noted that the oil-water separator, FA-1456, was not accessible for monitoring by platform, roof, or ladder (Photo 6). [AOC 4]
Throughout the Olefins 1 unit, EPA inspectors observed various process sewer drain hubs open to the atmosphere (Photos 5, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, and 21). Several drains were observed with multiple lines leading into them and with FID detections above 500 ppm VOC [AOCs 1, 2, 6, 12]. The drain of condensate stripper DA-107 was observed with two lines, one of which was feeding into the drain hub and one that was leading directly to the ground. Inspectors observed that the line feeding the drain hub was not leaking but the line outside the drain hub was observed dripping directly on the ground [AOC 11].
In the afternoon, we continued our field observations in the Olefins 1 unit. I continued Method 21 monitoring at a fourth stage suction drum, FA-1478. I observed regulators and pressure gauges at the platform on top of FA-1478 and detected up to 12,500 ppm VOC. An Olefins 1 Operator stated that each stage of furnace gas compression has a knock-out, or suction drum, associated. The operator stated the 4th and 5th stages of compression have ethylene blowback as stated by Mr. LeGaux previously.
EPA inspectors continued to the flare KO drums, FA-1490 and FA-115. Inspectors observed that the KO drums were elevated and did not have accessible monitoring points to conduct monitoring or visual inspections. An Olefins Operator indicated that Think monitors flanges and valves at the top of the flare KO drums with very long extender poles for their FID probes. We also observed a drain line from FA1490 that leads to an open drain (Photo 14). [AOC 2] I monitored the pump area around the flare KO drums and did not observe elevated measurements. The pumps were not running at the time of monitoring.
I then monitored the KO pot, FA-126, off the caustic tower. To conduct Method 21 at the overhead piping of the KO drums, I had to climb the scaffolding around the caustic tower and reach through the platform grating and cage spindles with the FID probe. [AOCs 3, 4]

Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
EPA inspectors observed the three skimmers servicing stormwater from the Olefins units. No emissions were detected with the FID and no emissions were observed with the OGIC from the east and west skimmers. The Olefins 2 skimmer was observed receiving a hot steam stream from Olefins 2 (Photo 15 and 16, Video 7) [AOC 13].
At 16:45, we returned the conference room. I reviewed the inspection activities conducted during the day and reviewed records requests. Charles Cuti, Lolita Tillery-Grant, Jamie Williams, Brett Motherne, Environmental Delivery Specialist, Thomas Nichols, Gus Becnel, and Michelle White, Regulatory Affairs Leader for Louisiana, and the inspection team were present for the debrief.
I requested the analyzer data for each TOC and benzene analyzer at the facility for the last five years, the valve position and flow data for T-702, the valve position at the DSGs, a process sewer diagram, no detectable emissions testing data for Subpart FF monitored components, the location of field water decanter, BWON manual and/or training documentation, completed Subpart FF visual inspections, preventative maintenance records for TOC and benzene analyzers, and analyzer specification sheets.
I provided notice to Mr. Cuti that EPA would be collecting Summa Samples on September 25, 2024. Email correspondence between Mr. Cuti and I regarding the sampling analysis plan is included in Appendix 5.
We departed the facility at 17:35 on September 24, 2024.
September 25, 2024.
EPA inspectors arrived at the Facility at 08:30 on September 25, 2024, and met with Mr. Cuti. EPA inspectors calibrated equipment prior to going to the Olefins 2 control room at 09:30.
Olefins 2 Control Room
At the Olefins 2 Control Room, we met with Kurt Bitre, Technical Advisor, and Jason Lirette, Operator. According to Mr. Lirette, Olefins 2 has ten furnaces: nine are the same size, and one is smaller. At the time of inspection, Olefins 2 was operating nine furnaces. One furnace was going through a decoking operation and not receiving feed. Mr. Lirette explained that the furnaces typically receive ethane or propane as feed. Furnace gas then goes to the fractionator, DA-3101. The bottoms of the fractionator go through the quench oil recycle and the overheads go to the quench tower and then compressors.
Next, we met with Renell Gales, Operator, to discuss the gas compression stage. The gas goes through five stages of compression. FA-3201 is the first stage compressor, or suction drum. Liquid from the first stage suction drum goes back to the quench tower. The second stage suction drum is FA-3202. Liquids from the second stage compressor go back to the first stage. This process continues through the third stage of compression. The liquids from Stages 4 and 5 are routed to the third stage to repeat the third stage compression. The suction drums can drain to the wet flare KO pot, FA-3901, if they reach capacity
12
EPA Inspection Report - Page 13 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
or if operations identify issues with the first stage suction drum. Liquids from the wet flare KO pot are routed to the quench tower.
The quench tower, DA-3104, supports dripolene and water separation. Dripolene from the quench tower returns to the fractionator and process water is sent to the process water stripper, DA-3106. The effluent of the process water stripper usually goes to the DSG, FA-3111, and is also equipped with TOC and benzene analyzers. If the bottoms of the process water stripper or DSG are on-spec, the stream is routed to EOB. If the bottoms are off-spec, the stream is routed to the wastewater tanks 1301 or 1331. At the time of inspection, the stream was being routed to EOB. If the DSG is running too high, the feed will trip and route to EOB or the wastewater tanks. The DSG blowdown is normally routed to the process water stripper or to the hot water sump.
Olefins 2 also has an acid gas system that can run an MEA or caustic cycle. Furnace gas is fed through the cycle and carbon dioxide is extracted and acid gases neutralized. The caustic tower, DA-3204, tails go to a spent caustic drum, FA-3212. According to UCC the spent caustic pot is routed to wastewater tanks 1321 or 1311. From the MEA still, DA-3203, tails are routed to a reflux drum, FA-3205. The reflux drum is routed to the spent caustic drum.
EPA inspectors departed from the Olefins 2 control room at 10:15. EPA inspectors split into two teams. One team inspected the Olefins 2 unit and the other team returned to Olefins 1 to collect Summa Samples and continue monitoring.
Olefins 2 Unit
Inspectors Kuc, Loukeris, Nelson, and Ong ("they") entered the Olefins 2 unit at 10:40. They conducted Method 21 monitoring throughout the unit. Field measurement data collected on September 25, 2024, can be found in Table 2 of Appendix 7.
Throughout Olefins 2, EPA inspectors observed open process sewer drain hubs and a roll off box labeled VB27168 with elevated VOC measurements.
EPA inspectors also noted that access to various equipment was limited or not available. Inspector Loukeris observed a small blowdown drum, FA-3805, with no access to monitor a valve and a pressure safety vent. Another blowdown drum, FA-3806, was observed with an open stem venting to atmosphere with no access to monitor. The wet flare drum, FA-3904, was observed with a pressure safety vent that vents to atmosphere but with no platform access to monitor. [AOC 3, 4]
Inspector Nelson monitored suction drums FA-3201, FA-3202, FA-3203, and FA-3207. On FA-3201, elevated VOC readings were detected on a valve stem. Barry Bradham, Senior Technician, tightened bolts on the valve steam and the FID measurement was 4.8 ppm VOC following the repair. Inspector Nelson observed visible signs of leaks on FA-3202 and at a drill and tap plug on FA-3023. Mr. Bradham observed the leaks at FA-3202 and FA-3203.

Olefins 1 Summa Sample Collection
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
Inspectors Allen, Rosenthal, and I ("we") returned to Olefins 1 at 10:30 to collect Summa Samples. Mr. Cuti and Mr. Lyons joined the EPA inspectors while collecting the samples.
At 10:38, we arrived at the Old Tar Pot, FA-1446. On September 24, 2024, EPA monitoring recorded a measurement of 3,300 ppm VOC at a regulator near the component tagged PCV-1446F-10. On September 25, 2024, EPA remonitored the regulator and detected 14,000 ppm VOC. Mr. Lyons confirmed EPA's reading with Think's FID at 50,000 ppm VOC. EPA inspectors noted that no leak tag was placed on the component the previous day or upon remonitoring. [AOC 14] At 10:56, I collected a Summa Sample (canister 11606) at the western side of the regulator gasket where the FID measurements were taken (Photo 20). This was collected as an approximately 25-second grab sample. This sample contained 597 ppb benzene. Inspector Rosenthal operated an OGIC and observed hydrocarbon emissions from the regulator (Video 8).
Mr. Cuti witnessed the sample collection and told EPA inspectors that Union Carbide would be collecting 24-hour summa samples on September 26, 2024 at the same location EPA collected samples.
At 11:09, we arrived at the #3 WWS. Inspectors Allen and Rosenthal climbed several platforms up the #3 WWS (DA-116-R). No emissions were detected with the FID and no emissions were observed with the OGIC. Inspectors noted that there appeared to be a blind flange at the top of the stripper that was not accessible by platform or scaffolding. It is unclear if Union Carbide is able to complete visual inspection or monitoring at this location. [AOCs 3, 4] Mr. Cuti stated that Think conducts quarterly Method 21 monitoring at the #3 WWS.
At 11:40, we returned to the base of suction drum FA-1481 where we observed one line from the suction drum feeding the process sewer drain. Upon remonitoring, EPA detected 1,400 ppm VOC. Think confirmed the reading at 2,300 ppm VOC. I collected a Summa Sample (canister 11612) from the drain (Photo 21). This was collected as an approximately 15-second grab sample. Mr. Cuti witnessed the sample collection. This sample contained 23.7 ppm benzene and 461 ppb ethylene oxide. [AOCs 7, 12, 24]
At 12:10, we arrived at stormwater tank T-702. I asked Mr. Cuti about the tank's applicability and vapor pressure determinations. Mr. Cuti indicated he was unaware of any applicable regulations to the tank as it only stores stormwater. EPA inspectors climbed to the platform at the top of the stormwater tank. T702 is an external floating roof tank. EPA inspectors observed 26 hatches around the perimeter on the floating roof. I noted 7 hatches visibly open (Photos 22 and 23, Video 11). [AOC 15] Mr. Cuti was unable to confirm if the hatches were pontoon covers.

EOB Control Room
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
At 14:05, EPA inspectors reconvened and arrived at the EOB control room. We met with Domingo Miller, Process Engineer; Eric Killian, Run Plant Engineer; and Lonnie Pitre, Environmental Operations Technical Advisor.
Mr. Miller explained the wastewater treatment plant ("WWTP") operations. EOB receives process wastewater from all process units at the Facility and stormwater. Each process unit has process sewer sumps located within the process unit that are pumped and hard piped through wastewater headers to EOB. Union Carbide has five process wastewater headers: stainless steel, old carbon steel, new carbon steel, transite header, and EA2/3 sump. Each header has a TOC analyzer. Mr. Miller stated that if EOB is receiving high TOC material, EOB operators are unable to determine the origin of the material without calling individual process units that feed the header as the TOC analyzer is not located at the individual process units generating the wastewater. [AOC 16]
All five headers merge at the D1 header before entering any treatment process at EOB. The D1 header feeds two open top stainless-steel pH tanks, North and South, for pH adjustment. The pH tanks lower pH with sulfuric acid or raise pH with caustic. At the time of inspection, the pH tanks were feeding caustic.
From the pH tanks, wastewater is fed through the equalization ("EQ") sump tank and then the EQ tank. If the EQ tank is at a high level or a diversion is needed, wastewater can be diverted to the surge sump tank which feeds the surge tank. All fixed roof tanks (EQ, surge, surge sump tank, and EQ sump tank) share a common header that vent to a scrubber.
From the EQ tank, the wastewater is gravity fed to the north and south aeration basins. From the aeration basins, the water goes to the secondary clarifiers, where the top is discharged to the river and the bottoms are recycled to the digesters. Union Carbide stated there is no temperature control regarding the material going into the digesters. At the time of inspection, the temperature of the feed going to the digesters was 47 degrees Celsius.
Union Carbide stated the TOC concentration at the final outfall is between 80 and 100 ppm TOC. At the time of inspection, the analyzer at the inlet of the aeration basins was measuring between 1,700 and 2,600 ppm TOC. Union Carbide stated they conduct periodic grab samples at the outfall.
Wastewater from the Olefins units is primarily pumped through the new carbon steel header with the ability to also use the old carbon steel header. Prior to the headers, Olefins 1 wastewater is collected in sump E-1, and Olefins 2 wastewater is collected in sump E-20.
Environmental Operations Plant Field Observations
At 15:00, the inspection team arrived at the wastewater treatment plant near the D1 header and the North and South pH adjustment tanks. Upon arriving at the pH tanks, I observed the top of the tanks and
15
EPA Inspection Report - Page 16 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
the splitter box on the North tank with the OGIC and observed hydrocarbon emissions (see Videos 13 and 18). [AOC 17] EPA inspectors requested access to the top of the pH tanks for monitoring and observation and were told that no one could climb the staircase to the pH tanks without self-contained breathing apparatuses ("SCBA"). I inquired about the decision to require SCBA at the pH tanks and Mr. Pitre and Mr. Cuti stated that SCBA is required due to potential exposure to benzene and ethylene oxide. Inspector Rosenthal inquired about the group status of waste streams entering the pH tanks. Mr. Killian stated that the wastewater treatment plant does not receive any Group 1 waste streams and any treatment required for compliance under Part 63 for Group 1 and Group 2 streams is completed at the individual process units generating the wastewater. [AOC 17, 19] Mr. Cuti stated group status has not been assessed for the comingled streams at the D1 header.
After observing the pH tanks, the inspection team observed the grit chamber sump. According to Union Carbide, the grit chamber sump is the location where vacuum truck discharges are fed to the pH tanks. The grit chamber sump was observed open to atmosphere. While we were nearby, we observed a vacuum truck discharge directly into the sump (Video 15). Mr. Cuti was unsure of the contents of the vacuum truck but later determined that the truck was discharging domestic sewage. Mr. Cuti indicated that process waste collected in a vacuum truck would be discharged through a hose connection directly into the pH adjust tanks and would bypass the grit chamber. [AOC 26]
At 15:20, the inspection team observed the EQ sump tank and surge sump tank. Inspectors Loukeris and Rosenthal climbed the ladders to the EQ sump tank and surge sump tank, respectively, to monitor with the FID. Prior to climbing the tanks, Mr. Killian asked the inspectors what components they would be monitoring and how long the monitoring would take. Inspectors Loukeris and Rosenthal indicated they would be monitoring around hatches and pressure relief devices. Mr. Killian urged the inspectors to monitor quickly.
Inspector Loukeris noted strong odors on top of the EQ sump tank and detected 420 ppm VOC around the tank hatch. No emissions were detected from the pressure relief device.
Inspector Rosenthal climbed the ladder to the top of the surge sump tank and immediately noted strong odors. He was only able to monitor the hatch briefly and detected 1,000 ppm VOC before halting monitoring to descend from the tank due to the odor. From the ground, I observed the surge sump tank with the OGIC and observed hydrocarbon emissions from the hatch.
Inspector Rosenthal and I returned to the top of the surge sump tank wearing full-face respirators to continue monitoring. Inspector Rosenthal continued Method 21 monitoring along the hatch and detected over 500 ppm VOC around most of the hatch and then experienced an instrument flameout along the east side of the hatch. The east side of the hatch was observed by inspectors with a visible liquid leak and audible hissing leak (Photo 26 and Videos 16, 19, and 20). [AOC 18] Mr. Lyons climbed the surge sump tank to conduct monitoring with Think's FID and experienced a flameout approximately one foot away from the hatch. While Mr. Lyons was climbing down from the surge sump tank, Mr. Cuti asked him what a flameout meant.
16
EPA Inspection Report - Page 17 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
At 15:55, I collected a Summa Sample at the east side of the surge sump tank underneath the flange of the hatch (canister 16930). This was an approximately 25-second grab sample. Mr. Cuti witnessed the sample collection. This sample contained 143 ppm ethylene oxide. [AOC 19]
Inspector Loukeris climbed the EQ tank to conduct monitoring and detected up to 2,700 ppm VOC at various locations on the tank. At 16:25, I collected a Summa Sample (canister 16927) along the east side of PSV-4701-30 (Photos 31 and 32). This was an approximately 20-second grab sample. This sample contained 6.59 ppm ethylene oxide. [AOCs 19, 20]
Inspectors Nelson and Kuc climbed the surge tank to conduct monitoring and detected up to 2,000 ppm at various locations on the tank. EPA inspectors also noted visible defects on the seals of various pressure vacuum relief valves (Photos 27-30 and Video 21). [AOC 21]
Inspector Kuc observed the UNox scrubber with the OGIC and observed hydrocarbon emissions from the stack (Video 17). [AOC 22]
We arrived at the aeration basins at 16:30. Inspectors observed a visible haze over the basins. At 16:38, I collected a Summa Sample (canister 11610) between the north and south aeration basins at approximately the third bollard from the western side of the basins. Wind direction was from the north. At 16:56, I collected a Summa Sample (canister 16708) upwind of the aeration basins. The sample was collected north of the north aeration basin and south of equalization tank. Both Summa Samples near the aeration basins were each approximately 30-second grab samples.
Before leaving the aeration basin area, EPA inspectors observed the ethylene oxide flare pulsing and with no visible flame. [AOC 23] This flare is located near the ethylene oxide storage tank area.
We returned to the conference room at 17:10.
Section III - AREAS OF CONCERN
I conducted a closing conference at Union Carbide Corporation - St. Charles Operations at 17:20 on September 25, 2024, for the inspection. During the closing conference, I reviewed most of the Areas of Concern noted below. Additionally, AOCs marked with an asterisk were determined after the conclusion of the inspection and were not included in the closing conference.
1) Union Carbide may not be managing benzene waste in compliant waste management units.
Union Carbide elects to follow the 2 Mg compliance option as described in 40 CFR 61.342(c), which requires either the management and treatment of all benzene-containing waste streams such that 99% of the benzene is removed or destroyed in the waste stream or the waste stream is treated such that the benzene concentration is less than 10 parts per million by weight ("ppmw"). Waste streams with benzene concentrations less than 10 ppmw are exempt from this control requirement, and Union
17
EPA Inspection Report - Page 18 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
Carbide may exempt streams containing a total (cumulative) annual benzene quantity less than or equal to 2.0 Mg/yr.
Union Carbide must manage each benzene-containing waste stream in waste management units complying with the applicable requirements in 40 CFR 61.343-61.347. Union Carbide sends benzenecontaining wastewater for storage in wastewater tanks owned and operated by Vopak. Union Carbide personnel indicated during the inspection that they do not communicate with Vopak regarding any environmental compliance. Union Carbide does not receive certifications from Vopak stating Vopak has managed the waste as required by the applicable standards for tanks in 40 CFR 61.343 or the alternative in 40 CFR 61.351. EPA inspectors also identified a letter from Vopak to LDEQ claiming that Vopak is not applicable to Subpart FF and a permit application removed Subpart FF applicability.
In the Facility's TAB report from 2023, Union Carbide reported the #3 WWS feed and East & West WWS feeds as containing 26.956 Mg of benzene and 11.269 Mg of benzene, respectively. These feeds originate from the wastewater tanks at Vopak and Union Carbide reported those streams as controlled. Union Carbide may not be able to consider these streams controlled as Union Carbide does not certify the waste streams have been managed in compliant waste management units. Based on the 2023 TAB reported by Union Carbide, these streams accounted for 38.225 Mg of uncontrolled benzene.
2) Union Carbide may not have identified all waste management units at the Facility that receive or manage benzene-containing waste streams prior to and during treatment.
According to 40 CFR 61.341, waste management unit "means a piece of equipment, structure, or transport mechanism used in handling, storage, treatment, or disposal of waste. Examples of a waste management unit include a tank, surface impoundment, container, oil-water separator, individual drain system, steam stripping unit, thin-film evaporation unit, waste incinerator, and landfill."
Union Carbide has an integrated sewer system in which stormwater is collected and sent to skimmers. Oil in the skimmers is pumped back to the Olefins units and water is pumped to stormwater tank T-702. Union Carbide does not measure the concentration of benzene managed in the stormwater tank until the contents of the tank have been released. Union Carbide measures benzene in the effluent of the T702 by analyzer. T-702 can manage benzene-containing waste streams that may exceed 10 ppmw at the point of generation. Union Carbide currently does not consider T-702 applicable to Subpart FF.
During the inspection, EPA requested quarterly inspection records required by Subpart FF, including WMUs. In response, Union Carbide provided quarterly closed vent system and control device records that identified the #3, East, and West WWSs as equipment inspected. Union Carbide's inspection records did not identify any other waste management unit.
During the opening conference and throughout field observations in the Olefins units, EPA inspectors identified potential waste management units including, but not limited to, oil-water separators, decanters, individual drain systems, suction drums, and KO pots. These potential waste management
18
EPA Inspection Report - Page 19 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
units have not been identified by Union Carbide and are not being considered subject to the requirements under Subpart FF.
3) Union Carbide may not be conducting required inspections and monitoring of benzene waste management units.
WMUs have inspection and monitoring requirements, which depend on the type of unit managing benzene waste. As identified in AOC 2, Union Carbide has not identified all waste management units at the Facility and has not provided inspection or monitoring records that indicate the Facility is completing the applicable inspection and monitoring requirements in 40 CFR 61.343-61.347.
During the closing conference, Mr. Cuti told EPA inspectors that Union Carbide's LDAR database does not identify any components as subject to NDE testing for Subpart FF. Union Carbide may not be conducting any NDE testing of applicable equipment.
4) Union Carbide may not be able to perform effective visual inspections of various equipment that may be subject to BWON.
EPA inspectors observed equipment in the Olefins 1 and 2 units that were not accessible. It is not possible to conduct visual inspections and make assessments of the condition of components without visual access. Inspectors noted inadequate access to components on the flare KO drums, the caustic tower knockout, the #3 WWS, an oil water separator, a decanter, and various blowdown drums.
*5) The analyzer measuring the concentration of benzene in the DSG blowdown steam may not provide accurate measurements.
Union Carbide explained that excess steam from the DSG can be sent to EOB if the benzene analyzer for the blowdown steam measures less than 475 ppm benzene. The steam generated is at high temperature which may affect the accuracy of the analyzer, biasing the benzene concentration low. Union Carbide may be diverting benzene containing wastewater from the DSG to EOB without treatment to the required standard.
6) Union Carbide may not be identifying and reporting all points of benzene waste generation and may not be identifying and reporting all points in the correct locations.
40 CFR 61.341 Definitions. "Point of waste generation means the location where the waste stream exits the process unit component or storage tank prior to handling or treatment in an operation that is not an integral part of the production process, or in the case of waste management units that generate new wastes after treatment, the location where the waste stream exits the waste management unit component."
19
EPA Inspection Report - Page 20 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
"Waste stream means the waste generated by a particular process unit, product tank, or waste management unit. The characteristics of the waste stream (e.g., flow rate, benzene concentration, water content) are determined at the point of waste generation. Examples of a waste stream include process wastewater, product tank drawdown, sludge and slop oil removed from waste management units, and landfill leachate."
"Waste means any material resulting from industrial, commercial, mining or agricultural operations, or from community activities that is discarded or is being accumulated, stored, or physically, chemically, thermally, or biologically treated prior to being discarded, recycled, or discharged."
40 CFR 63.1082 "Dilution steam blowdown waste stream means any continuously flowing process wastewater stream resulting from the quench and compression of cracked gas (the cracking furnace effluent) at an ethylene production unit and is discharged from the unit. This stream typically includes the aqueous or oily-water stream that results from condensation of dilution steam (in the cracking furnace quench system), blowdown from dilution steam generation systems, and aqueous streams separated from the process between the cracking furnace and the cracked gas dehydrators. The dilution steam blowdown waste stream does not include blowdown that has not contacted HAP-containing process materials..."
"Spent caustic waste stream means the continuously flowing process wastewater stream that results from the use of a caustic wash system in an ethylene production unit. A caustic wash system is commonly used at ethylene production units to remove acid gases and sulfur compounds from process streams, typically cracked gas..."
Under 40 CFR 61.357, Union Carbide must annually report the total annual benzene quantity from facility waste. Through review of the processes in the Olefins units, PFDs, and on-site inspection observations, Union Carbide may not have identified all points of waste generation.
In review of the Facility's TAB reports, the following are examples of waste streams reported in which the points of generation were reported in potentially incorrect locations:
"Ol-1 & Ol-2 Process Sewers, Dist. A & B-sumps, Ol-2 DSG B/D & PWS Tails (also includes all quench oil sumps), Ole-1 PWS Tails & DSG B/D": Union Carbide explained this stream includes all benzene-containing waste from the Olefins 1 & 2 process sewers, the A & B sumps, the Olefins 1 and 2 DSG blowdown and process water stripper tails, and all quench oil sumps. Many individual points of generation may be contributing to this waste stream described in the TAB. Inspectors noted that the process sewers, the sumps, the blowdowns, and the process water stripper tails are not the point at which the waste exits the process unit component prior to handling or treatment that is not an integral part of the production process. During the inspection of the process units, inspectors observed multiple drain lines feeding the process sewer hubs.
"East & West Waste Water Stripper Feed (including Ole-2 MEA & Caustic Sumps)": Union Carbide explained this stream as the wastewater that is routed to the East and West WWSs and the wastewater collected in the MEA and caustic sumps. The East and West WWSs are fed primarily and directly by streams from wastewater tanks 1311 and 1321. Tanks 1311 and 1321 store wastewater that is generated by the acid gas systems for the Olefins 1 and 2 units. This 20
EPA Inspection Report - Page 21 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
wastewater stream may include many individual POGs that exit process unit components prior to storage in the storage tanks and wastewater sumps and before treatment by the East and West WWSs. "#3 WWS Feed": Union Carbide explained this stream as the wastewater that is routed to the #3 WWS. The #3 WWS is fed primarily and directly from wastewater tanks 1301 and 1331. Tanks 1301 and 1331 receive and store wastewater from the majority of the Olefins units including all waste streams referenced in the first bullet point. This wastewater stream may include many individual POGs that exit process unit components prior to storage in the storage tanks and before treatment at the #3 WWS.
The examples referenced above also indicate the points of generation may not have been reported in the correct location. The "Ol-1 & Ol-2 Process Sewers, Dist. A & B-sumps, Ol-2 DSG B/D & PWS Tails (also includes all quench oil sumps), Ole-1 PWS Tails & DSG B/D" is routed to the wastewater tanks for storage before feeding the #3 WWS. Union Carbide may have accounted for the wastewater multiple times by misidentifying the location of the point of generation.
Many instances in which the point of generation reported may not have been in the correct location were identified on the TAB report and Union Carbide may have failed to identify and report a significant number of points of generation. This may include the complete and accurate identification and reporting of dilution steam blowdown waste streams and spent caustic waste streams.
*7) Union Carbide may not have determined the total annual benzene quantity from the facility in accordance with 61.355.
Inspectors reviewed and inspected processes, sampling results, PFDs, and TAB reports which may not reflect the total annual benzene quantity that the facility has determined. As discussed in previous AOCs, Union Carbide may not have identified the appropriate POGs or WMUs. In their TAB reports, Union Carbide relies on sampling data at points where multiple POGs have already combined. Under 40 CFR 61.355(b), Union Carbide shall determine the annual waste quantity at the point of waste generation and determine the flow-weighted annual average benzene concentration at the point of generation (40 CFR 61.355(c)(1)(i)). Union Carbide may not be able to determine the total annual benzene quantity from facility waste as prescribed by 61.355(a) because they may not have determined the annual waste quantity or the flow-weighted annual average benzene concentration at each point of generation. Union Carbide may not be able to report the actual total annual benzene quantity without determining the value in accordance with 61.355(a).
During the inspection, Union Carbide indicated that the Facility has not reevaluated waste streams since the initial evaluation in the 1990s. The information required to be included in the TAB report should represent the waste stream characteristics based on current configuration and operating conditions (61.357(a)(4)). Union Carbide may not be reviewing the configuration and operating conditions to determine accurate TAB reports annually.
In documentation provided by Union Carbide, the benzene concentration range for the streams from the Olefins 1 and 2 sewers, various sumps, the DSG blowdown, and process water stripper tails was reported based on the maximum concentration that can be sent to EOB. The maximum concentration
21
EPA Inspection Report - Page 22 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
used in the calculation for determining the annual benzene quantity is 0.475 ppm benzene which is the concentration measured after treatment in the WWSs. This is not representative of the concentration of benzene in the waste streams prior to treatment. These streams may be uncontrolled for benzene emissions prior to treatment.
8) Union Carbide may not be accurately reporting the control status for waste streams reported in their TAB reports.
EPA inspectors observed Union Carbide's previous TAB reports with a column labeled, "Will Stream Be Controlled for Benzene?" Union Carbide explained that this column determines if the stream is required to be controlled based on the benzene concentration and the stream's contribution to the 2 Mg compliance option. This stream designation in the column does not reflect the actual management of the stream as the column designation is the determination for requiring control of the stream and not how the stream was managed in the reporting year.
9) EPA inspectors detected emissions above 1,000 ppm VOC at every monitored suction drum in Olefins 1.
As described in the process description and the narrative, cracked gas from the furnaces go through five stages of compression, each with corresponding suction drums. EPA inspectors detected above 1,000 ppm VOC at the instrumentation such as regulators and pressure gauges and the lines feeding them at the following suction drums: FA-1476, FA-1477, FA-1478, and FA-1479. According to Union Carbide, the instrumentation monitored at FA-1476 and FA-1477 were methane blowback lines from the suction drums and the instrumentation monitored at FA-1478 and FA-1479 were ethylene blowback lines from the suction drums. Union Carbide and Think stated that the components EPA monitored on the suction drums are not monitored by the Facility. The emissions detected at the suction drums may result in excess emissions and indicate the components may not be operated and maintained as intended.
10) EPA inspectors observed a potential open-ended line in Olefins 1.
While on the platform at the top of FA-1479, EPA inspectors observed a plug discharged or removed from a line north of the suction drum (Photo 8). Union Carbide was unable to identify the line during the inspection. The potential open-ended line may be acting as a bypass or releasing material to atmosphere.
11) EPA inspectors observed a drain line discharging directly onto the ground and not into a process sewer hub or catch basin.
EPA inspectors observed a drain near condensate stripper DA-107 with two lines feeding it. One of the lines was feeding into the drain hub and the other was leading directly to the ground. Inspectors observed that the line feeding into the drain hub was not leaking but the line outside the drain hub was observed discharging directly on the ground. Union Carbide may not be capturing all process waste in the process sewer.

12) Detectable emissions were observed from open process sewer drain hubs throughout the Olefins 1 and 2 units.
EPA inspectors monitored open process sewer drains and detected emissions greater than 500 ppm in several locations (see Appendix 7). EPA also collected a Summa Sample from the process sewer drain at FA-1481. This Summa Sample (canister 11612) contained 23.7 ppm benzene, 461 ppb ethylene oxide, 7.47 ppm toulene, and other VOCs. As mentioned in other AOCs, Union Carbide may not be accurately identifying the total annual benzene from POGs, applying the applicable control requirements, and conducting applicable monitoring and inspections.
In records provided by Union Carbide, wastewater characterizations from 1999 were used to calculate the annual average benzene concentration in the process water sewers. This information was used in the calculation of the 2023 TAB which claims the process water sewers contained less than 10 ppm benzene. The analytical results for the Summa Sample collected at the process sewer at FA-1481 suggests the 1999 data may not be accurate.
The process sewer system observed on-site is an IDS and may not meet the standards required in 40 CFR 61.346.
*13) EPA inspectors observed the Olefins 2 skimmer receiving a hot stream.
EPA inspectors observed a stream discharged to the Olefins 2 skimmer accompanied by steam. Union Carbide may not be accounting for the volatilization of VOCs received at the Olefins skimmers.
14) EPA inspectors observed no monitoring tags or leak tags at components monitored with detectable emissions.
EPA inspectors conducted Method 21 monitoring in the Olefins 1 and 2 units and EOB. Inspectors observed few monitoring tags on components with regulated material subject to Method 21 monitoring. Union Carbide's LDAR technicians did not place leak tags on any components observed with detectable emissions. On September 25, 2024, EPA inspectors returned to locations observed with detectable emissions on September 24, 2024. No monitoring or leak tags were observed in these locations and the components were monitored on September 25, 2024, and were observed with detectable emissions again.
Union Carbide may not be recording instances of detectable emissions, maintaining records of each test of no detectable emissions or leaking components, and complying with repair timelines. The lack of monitoring tags suggests Union Carbide may not be conducting Method 21 at all required components.

Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
15) EPA Inspectors observed at least seven open covers/hatches on Tank T-702.
Tank T-702 is an external floating roof tank used for stormwater storage. Inspectors observed the floating roof from the tank platform and identified at least seven openings on the tank roof. The openings observed suggest Union Carbide is not operating T-702 in conformance with the applicable design, operational and maintenance standards.
*16) Union Carbide may not be able to effectively manage all process unit wastewater received at EOB.
EOB receives wastewater generated by individual process units at the Facility and from off-site. Union Carbide explained that all process wastewater is routed to EOB through five wastewater headers that eventually comingle at one header named D1. Each of the five wastewater headers have TOC analyzers. Union Carbide explained that if a TOC analyzer spikes and wastewater must be diverted at EOB, Union Carbide is unable to immediately determine which process unit is causing the spike. EOB personnel must call each unit to ask if they have any issues with the process that may be affecting the wastewater in sumps leading to the wastewater header. This may not be an effective practice to identify potential exceedances and manage wastewater.
17) Union Carbide may not be sufficiently controlling or minimizing air emissions from any wastewater received at EOB.
Union Carbide sends all wastewater received from the D1 header to two pH tanks prior to storage in fixed roof tanks. The pH tanks are open top stainless-steel tanks that vent directly to atmosphere. EPA inspectors observed hydrocarbon emissions from the pH tanks and the splitter boxes at the tanks. During the inspection, Union Carbide personnel stated no person could access the platform at the top of the pH tanks without SCBA. In records provided following the inspection, Union Carbide stated that personnel who need access to the walkways on top of the pH tanks need fresh air masks "due to the potential of abnormally high levels of some chemicals in the wastewater."
18) EPA inspectors detected emissions and observed hydrocarbon emissions from the surge sump tank.
EPA inspectors monitored on the roof of the surge sump tank and detected emissions with the FID, observed emissions with the OGIC, heard an audible leak, and visibly saw material leaking from the tank hatch. EPA inspectors also noted strong odors. The nature of the observations suggests the facility may not be operating or maintaining the surge sump tank in accordance with operating and design standards.
*19) EPA Inspectors collected Summa Samples at the surge sump tank and EQ tank that contained high concentrations of ethylene oxide and other HAPs.
I collected a Summa Sample at the hatch on the surge sump tank on September 25, 2024. The analytical results indicated the sample contained 143 ppm ethylene oxide.
24
EPA Inspection Report - Page 25 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
I collected a Summa Sample at the hatch on the EQ tank on September 25, 2024. The analytical results indicated the sample contained 6.59 ppm ethylene oxide.
Union Carbide collected Summa Samples at the surge sump tank and EQ tank on September 26, 2024, after EPA inspectors concluded the inspection. Union Carbide's chain of custody forms noted "TO-15 No EO" on the analysis required column. Union Carbide's analytical results did not include analysis for ethylene oxide.
The concentration of ethylene oxide may be exceeding exposure threshold limits. The Recommended Exposure Limits ("REL") designated by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health ("NIOSH") and Permissible Exposure Limits ("PEL") designated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") for ethylene oxide are presented in Table 1 below.

20) EPA Inspectors detected emissions at the EQ tank.
EPA inspectors monitored components on the roof of the EQ tank and detected emissions at the tank hatch and pressure vacuum relief valves. The observations at the EQ tank suggest the tank may not be meeting applicable design, operational, and maintenance standards.
21) EPA Inspectors detected emissions at the surge tank.
EPA inspectors monitored components on the roof of the surge tank and detected emissions at the tank hatch and pressure vacuum relief valves. The pressure vacuum relief valves were also observed with broken seals. The observations at the surge tank suggest the tank may not be meeting applicable design, operational, and maintenance standards.
22) EPA Inspectors observed hydrocarbon emissions from the UNox scrubber.
EPA inspectors observed emissions from the UNox scrubber located at EOB with the OGIC. According to Union Carbide, this scrubber has not been performance tested and is the vent point for the common header shared by the EQ and Surge tanks. The scrubber may not be operating as designed.

Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
*23) EPA Inspectors observed the ethylene oxide flare pulsing and without a visible flame.
While departing from EOB, EPA inspectors observed the ethylene oxide flare pulsing and without a visible flame for several minutes. This may indicate that the ethylene oxide flare may not be operating in accordance with the applicable requirements resulting in excess emissions.
24) Union Carbide may have exceeded the allowable 2 Mg uncontrolled benzene in facility waste streams with greater than 10 ppm benzene.
As described in previous AOCs, Union Carbide may not have identified all POGs, determined the concentration of benzene at each POG, managed waste streams in compliant WMUs, or accurately determined the contribution of each waste stream to the facility's TAB.
Union Carbide accounts for more than 2 Mg of benzene waste in wastewater storage tanks at Vopak and does not communicate with Vopak or receive certifications that Vopak is operating the storage tanks per the control requirements in Subpart FF. Union Carbide currently reports these waste streams as controlled but may need to consider them uncontrolled and count the TAB from the stream against the 2 Mg allowance.
Union Carbide considers the process sewers and various sumps as POGs and has used the concentration of benzene in the wastewater at those locations to calculate their TAB. The concentration of benzene for each stream contributing to the process sewers and sumps has not been determined. Union Carbide may not be able to exempt all benzene waste streams contributing to the process sewers from the control requirements of Subpart FF because the concentration may not be less than 10 ppm benzene at the POG. Union Carbide samples of the process sewer are diluted downstream of the POGs and may not comply with the control requirements of Subpart FF.
The process sewer system in the Olefins 1 and 2 units consist of drain hubs that are open to atmosphere. Any streams greater than 10 ppm benzene that are routed to the process sewer system may not be considered controlled. Union Carbide submitted an operating procedure document for SCO Olefins titled "Non Routine - Olefins 1 & 2 - Maintaining Compliance with Governmental Regulations Concerning Benzene in Wastewater" which included the statement, "Environmental regulations such as NESHAP FF and MACT state that waste water streams containing more than 10ppm Benzene must not be processed in an open air system."
25) Union Carbide may be underestimating the actual benzene quantity at the facility.
Union Carbide is required to determine the total annual benzene quantity from facility waste by the test methods and procedures under 40 CFR 61.355. Based on the information provided by Union Carbide and interviews with Union Carbide personnel, the calculation of total annual benzene has not been calculated using the annual waste quantity at the POGs. Since Union Carbide has not identified all POGs,
26
EPA Inspection Report - Page 27 of 170
Union Carbide Corporation / St. Charles Operations Inspection Date 09/23-25/2024
as noted by other AOCs, Union Carbide may not be accurately calculating the actual benzene quantity and accurately submitting reports required by 40 CFR 61.357.
*26) Union Carbide does not maintain records of vacuum truck movements throughout the facility.
EPA inspectors observed a vacuum truck discharging into the grit chamber sump at EOB during the inspection. Following the observation, EPA Inspectors requested vacuum truck movement logs identifying specific streams collected by each truck and the destination. Union Carbide stated the Facility does not maintain vacuum truck records but did provide EPA an excel spreadsheet identifying routine vacuum truck jobs. This spreadsheet identified situations in which vacuum trucks are used in specific areas of the Facility, including the Olefins units. The material collected in the Olefins units may contain benzene wastes and may be required to be managed appropriately. Vacuum truck wastes may be required to be reported in the TAB reports and records of location, disposal, control status, and benzene quantity would be necessary to calculate the waste stream contributions.
Section IV - FOLLOW UP
I requested records and information from the facility during and after the inspection (see Appendix 5). EPA received some of the requested records on September 24 and 25, and October 16, 18, and 30, 2024. Union Carbide did not provide all requested information including the ethylene oxide industrial hygiene data requested on September 23 and 24 while inspectors were on-site and again on September 30, 2024.
On October 1, 2024, John Penland requested that UCC provide records documenting the hazardous waste determinations made for wastewaters treated in the wastewater strippers at the facility (See Appendix 10 for RCRA records requests). UCC began providing those records on October 17, 2024 and continues to maintain a dialog with the RCRA Enforcement Section concerning their review. These records will be used to determine the facility's compliance with 40 CFR 262.11.

Custody
Alyssa Miller received the samples on 10/3/2024 after being relinguished by Dow Chemical Company. The samples were received at ambient temperature and in good condition.
Prior to, during, and after analysis, the samples were kept under lock with access only to authorized personnel by Enthalpy Analytical, LLC.
Analysis
The samples were analyzed for the TO-15 target compound list using the analytical procedures in EPA Method TO-15, Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) In Air Collected In Specially-Prepared Canister And Analyzed by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS).
Upon receipt, the canister pressures was measured and recorded. The canisters were then pressurized with UHP nitrogen and dilution ratios were calculated. See the Canister Pressurization Data sheet located in the Results section of this report.
All samples were analyzed undiluted. Sample #6 OldTar Pot Lvl3 was analyzed at a subsequent 20-fold analytical dilution in order to bring benzene, propylene, and 1,3-butadiene into the instrument's calibration range. Dilution factors are displayed in the sample header.
The Agilent Technologies Model 6890N, Gas Chromatograph "Xavier" (S/N US10721018) equipped with a 5975C VL Mass Selective Detector (S/N US71215962) was used for this analysis. The sample and standards were introduced directly to the analyzer using an Entech 7200 Preconcentrator.
Calibration
The BFB tune analyses associated with the initial and continuing calibrations met all method acceptance criteria.
The initial calibration (X100722A_TO15) met the 30% RSD criteria. The initial calibration verification (ICV) met the 70-130% recovery criteria. The continuing calibration (CCV) met the 30% difference criteria.
Chromatographic The acquisition method (TO15_SCNV6) may be made available upon Conditions request.

EPA Inspection Report - Page 162 of 170
General Reporting Notes
The following are general reporting notes that are applicable to all Enthalpy Analytical, LLC data reports, unless specifically noted otherwise.
Any analysis which refers to the method as "Type" represents a planned deviation from the reference method. For instance a Hydrogen Sulfide assay from a Tedlar bag would be labeled as "EPA Method 16-Type" because Tedlar bags are not mentioned as one of the collection options in EPA Method 16.
The acronym MDL represents the Minimum Detection Limit. Below this value the laboratory cannot determine the presence of the analyte of interest reliably.
The acronym LOQ represents the Limit of Quantification. Below this value the laboratory cannot quantitate the analyte of interest within the criteria of the method.
The acronym ND following a value indicates a non-detect or analytical result below the MDL.
The letter J in the Qualifier or Flag column in the results indicates that the value is between the MDL and the LOQ. The laboratory can positively identify the analyte of interest as present, but the value should be considered an estimate.
The letter E in the Qualifier or Flag column indicates an analytical result exceeding 100% of the highest calibration point. The associated value should be considered as an estimate.
Sample results are presented `as measured' for single injection methodologies, or an average value if multiple injections are made. If all injections are below the MDL, the sample is considered non-detect and the ND value is presented. If one, but not all, are below the MDL, the MDL value is used for any injections that are below the MDL. For example, if the MDL is 0.500 and LOQ is 1.00, and the instrument measures 0.355, 0.620, and 0.442 - the result reported is the average of 0.500, 0.620, and 0.500 - - - i.e. 0.540 with a J flag.
When a spike recovery (Bag Spike, Collocated Spike Train, or liquid matrix spike) is being calculated, the native (unspiked) sample result is used in the calculations, as long as the value is above the MDL. If a sample is ND, then 0 is used as the native amount (not the MDL value).
The acronym DF represents Dilution Factor. This number represents dilution of the sample during the preparation and/or analysis process. The analytical result taken from a laboratory instrument is multiplied by the DF to determine the final undiluted sample results.
The addition of MS to the Sample ID represents a Matrix Spike. An aliquot of an actual sample is spiked with a known amount of analyte so that a percent recovery value can be determined. The MS analysis indicates what effect the sample matrix may have on the target analyte, i.e. whether or not anything in the sample matrix interferes with the analysis of the analyte(s).
EA Job# 0924-208 Page 40 of 44
EPA Inspection Report - Page 163 of 170
General Reporting Notes
(continued)
The addition of MSD to the Sample ID represents a Matrix Spike Duplicate. Prepared in the same manner as a MS, the use of duplicate matrix spikes allows further confirmation of laboratory quality by showing the consistency of results gained by performing the same steps multiple times.
The addition of LD to the Sample ID represents a Laboratory Duplicate. The analyst prepares an additional aliquot of sample for testing and the results of the duplicate analysis are compared to the initial result. The result should have a difference value of within 10% of the initial result (if the results of the original analysis are greater than the LOQ).
The addition of AD to the Sample ID represents an Alternate Dilution. The analyst prepares an additional aliquot at a different dilution factor (usually double the initial factor). This analysis helps confirm that no additional compound is present and coeluting or sharing absorbance with the analyte of interest, as they would have a different response/absorbance than the analyte of interest.
The Sample ID LCS represents a Laboratory Control Sample. Clean matrix, similar to the client sample matrix, prepared and analyzed by the laboratory using the same reagents, spiking standards and procedures used for the client samples. The LCS is used to assess the control of the laboratory's analytical system. Whenever spikes are prepared for our client projects, two spikes are retained as LCSs. The LCSs are labeled with the associated project number and kept in-house at the appropriate temperature conditions. When the project samples are received for analysis, the LCSs are analyzed to confirm that the analyte could be recovered from the media, separate from the samples which were used on the project and which may have been affected by source matrix, sample collection, and/or sample transport.
Significant Figures: Where the reported value is much greater than unity (1.00) in the units expressed, the number is rounded to a whole number of units, rather than to 3 significant figures. For example, a value of 10,456.45 ug catch is rounded to 10,456 ug. There are five significant digits displayed, but no confidence should be placed on more than two significant digits. In the case of small numbers, generally 3 significant figures are presented, but still only 2 should be used with confidence. Many neat materials are only certified to 3 digits, and as the mathematically correct final result is always 1 digit less than all its pre-cursors - 2 significant figures are what are most defensible.
Manual Integration: The data systems used for processing will flag manually integrated peaks with an "M". There are several reasons a peak may be manually integrated. These reasons will be identified by the following two letter designations on sample chromatograms, if provided in the report. The peak was not integrated by the software "NI", the peak was integrated incorrectly by the software "II" or the wrong peak was integrated by the software "WP". These codes will accompany the analyst's manual integration stamp placed next to the compound name on the chromatogram.

Penland, John pspeyrer@dow.com Pandak, Debra (she/her/hers); McCarthy, Colleen (she/her/hers) Sept. 24-25, 2024-Inspection Summary and Information Request for DOW St Charles Operations (EPAID:LAD041581422) Tuesday, October 1, 2024 4:36:00 PM
All, Here is a summary of my notes from last week's inspection. If there are any errors or omissions, please let me know.
Introduction On September 24 and 25, 2024, I, John Penland, conducted an unannounced inspection of the Dow St. Charles facility and collocated Vopak Terminal located at 355 Highway 3142, Hahnville, LA 70057 for compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). This inspection focused on the generation and management of the wastewater generated by operations at the two facilities and was conducted in conjunction with a parallel Clean Air Act inspection.
Daily Summary Initial Entry to the facility - September 24, 2024, at approximately 9:00am
I presented my credentials to Mr. Philip Speyrer and informed him that I was there to conduct an inspection of the facility under the authority of section 3007 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
RCRA Section 3007 - For purposes of developing or assisting in the development of any regulation or enforcing the provisions of this chapter, any person who generates, stores, treats, transports, disposes of, or otherwise handles or has handled hazardous wastes shall, upon request of any officer, employee or representative of the Environmental Protection Agency, duly designated by the Administrator, or upon request of any duly designated officer, employee or representative of a State having an authorized hazardous waste program, furnish information relating to such wastes and permit such person at all reasonable times to have access to, and to copy all records relating to such wastes. For the purposes of developing or assisting in the development of any regulation or enforcing the provisions of this chapter, such officers, employees or representatives are authorized--
(1)to enter at reasonable times any establishment or other place where hazardous wastes are or have been generated, stored, treated, disposed of, or transported from;
(2)to inspect and obtain samples from any person of any such wastes and samples of any containers or labeling for such wastes.
Discussed the right of DOW to assert a Confidential Business Information claim for records requested by EPA. Facility Walkthrough - Following my meeting with Mr. Speyrer, I began my walkthrough of the facility with the two Olefins units. This was followed by inspection of the 1300 series tanks, the Barge Dock, the 6200 tank, and the 5101 tank.
Applicability of 268 standards
EPA Inspection Report - Page 170 of 170
During this inspection I assessed the applicability of the 40 CFR 268.40 treatment standards to the wastewaters generated by Dow St. Charles. Initially, I believed that the presence of the surface impoundment in the WWTU might affect the applicability treatment standards and the dilution prohibition. However, upon further review, footnote 8 of the table found in 40 CFR 268.40 clarifies the applicability of the treatment standards by citing to the exemption located at 268.1(c)(4).
Request for information:
Based on my preliminary observations, EPA will require additional information to complete its assessment of the wastewaters generated by DOW St. Charles.
A. For each wastewater stream treated in the following units: OLE1-PWS DA-1463; OLE-2 PWS DA-3106; #3WWS DA-116; East WWS DA-118; and West WWS DA-119 1. Identify the point of generation of the waste. 2. Provide waste determination documentation consistent with the requirements of 40 CFR 262.11 at the waste's point of generation and where any subsequent management may have altered the waste's properties. 3.
