Opening Conference
EPA Lead Inspector Jon Jones arrived at the Alyeska TAPS Pump Station 1 at 08:10 AM (AKT) on 06/07/2022 for an inspection. I presented my credentials to Mr. Verne Griffis and informed him that this was an EPA RCRA inspection. The table above presents all the inspection opening and closing conference participants.
I was accompanied by Mr. Ratky during the inspection of the facility.
During the inspection I looked at the facility's processes, in addition to hazardous waste management practices, generation points, and accumulation areas. I looked for wastes that facility representatives had not yet identified or designated as hazardous. I also observed the facility's universal waste and used oil management. Specifically, I inspected the following areas of the facility listed below.
Only those areas in which I observed areas of concern or noted other pertinent issues are discussed in this inspection report.
