7) Purpose of Inspection
The purpose of this inspection was to conduct an unannounced compliance evaluation inspection to determine the U.S. DOE Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant's (PGDP) compliance with the conditions of its RCRA Hazardous Waste Facility Operating Permit (Permit Number KY8-890008-982), the applicable requirements of RCRA and the corresponding KDEP regulations. This was an EPA lead inspection supported by KDEP staff.
8) Facility Description
In October 1950, the United States Atomic Energy Commission selected a former World War II munitions plant near Paducah, Kentucky, known as Kentucky Ordnance Works, as the site for the second of three planned uranium enrichment plants in the United States. The other two enrichment plants were located near Portsmouth, Ohio and Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Before World War II, the area now occupied by the PGDP site was used for agricultural purposes. Numerous small farms produced various grain crops, provided pasture for livestock, and included large fruit orchards. During World War II, a 16,126-acre tract was assembled for construction of the Kentucky Ordnance Works, a trinitrotoluene (TNT) production facility, which subsequently was operated by the Atlas Powder Company until the end of the war. Ultimately, the land was turned over to the General Services Administration.
The US Department of Energy (USDOE) owns the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant which was constructed in the 1950s. The Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP) was constructed in 1952 to produce enriched uranium, initially for the nation's nuclear weapons program and later for nuclear fuel for commercial power plants. The Paducah Site was an active uranium enrichment facility until 2013. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 provided for the lease of the enrichment facilities to a commercial entity that operated the enrichment facilities from 1998 to 2013. In 2014, the leased facilities were returned to DOE control, and then a DOE contractor began managing the uranium enrichment facilities for DOE. These facilities are now undergoing deactivation in preparation for decommissioning. The facility is a secured federal facility with controlled access and numerous security measures in place to adequately secure the facility.
The Paducah Site is in a rural area of McCracken County, Kentucky, 10 miles west of Paducah, Kentucky, and 3.5 miles south of the Ohio River. The plant occupies a 3,556-acre DOE-owned Site, approximately 1,986 acres of which are licensed to the Commonwealth of Kentucky as part of the West Kentucky Wildlife Management Area (WKWMA).
USDOE conducts ongoing remediation activities and has a Part B Permit. The first RCRA Part A and Part B permit applications for storage and treatment of hazardous waste at the Paducah Site were submitted in the late 1980s. US EPA has authorized the Commonwealth of Kentucky to administer the RCRA-based program for treatment, storage, and disposal units. The current Hazardous Waste Management Facility Permit was initially issued by the Kentucky Division of Waste Management (KDWM) to DOE, became effective on August 26, 2015, was modified on February 21, 2020, and it expires on August 25, 2025. The facility has 3 permitted RCRA Part B storage buildings, C-733, C-746Q and C-752A.

The inspectors introduced themselves, showed their credentials, and explained the purpose of the visit. It was agreed that FRNP or DOE staff would take photographs so that all pictures could go through a security check before being released. It was agreed that the photographs, once released by security, would be transferred to the inspection team. The facility's staff provided a detailed overview of the facility's history, with an emphasis on recent and current operations. Current waste management operations were briefed by the facility's staff. A map was used to provide an overview of the facility layout. The facility staff reviewed health and safety protocols and the required personal protective equipment. Security requirements for the site were also reviewed.
The site is a large secured federal facility and documents are subject to a security review before release. The EPA inspector provided a copy of the U.S. EPA Small Business Resources Information Sheet and US EPA Confidential Business Information (CBI) Notice via email. The facility did not assert a business confidentiality claim.
11) Inspection Observations
Below is a description of the observations made during the walk-through portion of the inspection. Due to safety concerns, some of the containers had a radioactive component and/or were fissile materials (materials when placed together in threshold quantities may potentially sustain a reaction), so distance had to be maintained from the containers. Some areas were cordoned off due to radiation concerns and the inspection team, in general, stayed outside of the cordoned areas. The inspection notes on these areas were restricted due to distance requirements.
Building C-752-A (Photographs 1-10) The first area inspected was Building C-752-A. Building C-752-A is one of three container storage and treatment areas included in the hazardous waste permit. All waste streams (listed in the facility description above) may be stored in this facility except for flammable wastes with a flash point <
EPA-RCRA CEI Report U.S. DOE Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant EPA ID# KY8890008982 Feb 28-Mar 2, 2023
Page 6 of 54
100 F. Ignitable wastes may be stored at C-752-A with a flashpoint between 100 and 140 F. The maximum container storage capacity is 496,000 gallons.
We were met by Carol Tippin, the Supervisor for this area. C-752-A building is permitted to store and treat hazardous wastes. The building is located in the northwest section of PGDP. Neutralization, oxidation, reduction, precipitation, and/or stabilization treatment processes can be performed in this permitted building. These treatment processes can occur in a reaction unit or other appropriate containers. Treatment technologies such as absorption, compaction, and/or macroencapsulation are also permitted by the permit. C-752-A can be used for the treatment of wastewaters, including sump collections, recovered spilled water, decontamination water, landfill leachate, and groundwater purge and development water.
The C-752-A facility is a warehouse-type building that provides 41,000 ft2 of storage for waste containers. A concrete slab with a 16-inch curb provides secondary containment. The secondary containment for the C-752-A storage facility is provided by the area inside the curb. This facility provides 408,800 gallons of containment capacity for solids and liquid storage. The slab and curb are coated with a chemically resistant sealant. In some areas, temporary diked areas are around sub-storage areas located within Building C-752-A. The permit, in section 5.3.7 of the application, specifies that containers may be stacked two containers high with a pallet or elevated platform. The permit notes that the height of the stacked containers shall not exceed 12 feet.
The inspectors observed that containers were properly marked and labeled. Unless otherwise noted all containers were labeled, closed and dated. Supplemental secondary containment was around many of the storage areas within Building C-752-A. Wastes were observed to be stored in 55-gallon drums, tote tanks of approximately 200 gallons capacity, portable tanks of approximately 1,000 to 3,000 gallons in capacity, and square storage containers (ST-90s). Portable 1,200-gallon tanks, on trailers, were also in the building.
A square building was located within Building C-752-A. This containment building can be used to process waste in a controlled environment.
Building C-752-A was observed to have safety equipment and spill response equipment to include safety showers. Near the internal processing building four 10,500-gallon hazardous waste tanks were observed. These four plastic tanks were resting on metal pallets that had a label stating the capacity of the pallet was 10,000 pounds. The area was surrounded by an internal secondary containment berm. The tanks were labeled with hazardous waste codes F001, F002, and U228. The tanks were not in use at the time of the inspection and had not been utilized for several years. From observations from facility personnel, the tanks are believed to have been last in use around 2019.
Building C-757 (Photographs 11-17) Building C-757 contained a less than 90-day hazardous waste storage area (HWSA) 90DAA757-01 (the facility number for this area). The building appeared to be well maintained and no spills or releases were observed. This building had a SAA consisting of six red metal containers of approximately 5-gallons capacity. The containers were all closed and properly labeled with hazardous waste labels and hazards indication information. The containers segregated wastes for

A 30-gallon container of nickelcadmium batteries and a 30-gallon container of PCB wastes. An ST-90 Container Box, containing hazardous waste (circuit boards, fuses, starters, etc.) was also in the building. Two pallets with batteries on them were also observed. All containers appeared to be properly labeled and marked, closed, and were in good condition.
Building C-733 (Photographs 18-19) Building C-733 is a permitted area included in the hazardous waste permit. All waste streams listed in the permit may be stored in this facility to include ignitable wastes. The maximum container storage capacity is 38,500 gallons. Flammable wastes, reference the permitted areas, are stored in C-733 only. There was one 55-gallon container of aerosol cans present at the time of the inspection.
The C-733 Hazardous Waste Storage and Treatment Facility is a partially sided, roofed, and diked storage area permitted to store spent solvents, paint waste, mineral spirits, containers of waste chemicals, and other miscellaneous waste materials in containers. At the time of the inspection the building was found to properly equipped with fire extinguishers, and eye wash, a spill skit, and had a sprinkler system. One 55-gallon drum of hazardous waste was present. The area was mostly empty.
Building 746-Q (Photographs 20-21) Building C-746-Q is the third area covered in the hazardous waste permit. All waste streams (listed in the condition immediately above) may be stored in this facility except for D001. No ignitable wastes are permitted to be stored at C-746-Q. The maximum container storage capacity for this permitted area is 306,570 gallons. Potentially fissile material wastes are stored in this building. The facility has special storage units to ensure that the containers are adequately spaced. At the time of the inspection, eight 5-gallon containers of hazardous waste were in the area. The containers were in good condition, closed, and properly labeled. No maintenance issues with the building were observed. Three non-hazardous 5-gallon containers of waste were observed. The facility has the potentially fissile material areas roped off to mark the areas that should not be entered without following proper safety protocols. All containers appeared to be properly labeled and marked, closed, and were in good condition.
C-404 Landfill (Photographs 22-29) The C-404 Landfill is a closed construction and demolition and radiological waste landfill which is currently undergoing groundwater monitoring. The landfill was observed closed off with chains and signs stating "Caution Inactive Contaminated Area. RWP Required in Area." The area appeared well kept and the grass was mowed to a short level. The inspectors observed that the wells were closed and had labeled plaques on the concrete slabs. The well caps were locked. The wells had yellow metal post around them to protect the wells.
Building C-400 (Photographs 30-32) Building C-400 is a closed building. The current plan is to demolish the building. During its operational period, Building C-400 was used as a chemical decontamination facility with laundry. Additional operations occurred in this building which resulted in the release of TCE plume.

cordoned off and had radioactive caution signs. One container held aqueous oxide solutions from laboratory operations and one container held aqueous solution from laboratory operations. The area appeared to be well maintained and no spills, leaks, or maintenance issues were observed. All containers appeared to be properly labeled and marked, closed, and were in good condition.
Building 724 (Photographs 66-68) The 90-day accumulation area 90DAA-724-01 was empty at the time of the inspection. This building had a battery testing area. SAA S-724-04 had one 55-gallon container for accumulating oil and fuel filters. SAA S-724-03 had one 55-gallon container for accumulating used oil that cannot be recycled. The area appeared to be well maintained and no spills, leaks, or maintenance issues were observed. All containers appeared to be properly labeled and marked, closed, and were in good condition.
Building 720 (Photographs 69-73) SAAs S-720-12, 14, and 10 were empty at the time of the inspection. One 90-day area, 90DAA720-02 was in operation in Building 720. The 90-day area had a ST-90 box and one 55-gallon container. The 55-gallon container held hazardous waste with waste codes D006, D007, D009, and D010 containing circuit boards, etc. The ST-90 container contained "RCRA wastes" containing welding rods and various electronics and had waste codes D006, D008, D009, and D010. The area appeared to be well maintained and no spills, leaks, or maintenance issues were observed. All containers appeared to be properly labeled and marked, closed, and were in good condition.
C-746-U Landfill Access (Photographs 74-78) In the 2018 U.S. EPA Inspection report a point of concern was raised about whether the route to the C-746-U landfill from the main site possibly constituted a route that made the C-746-U Landfill an off-site facility. The inspection team was briefed on different possible routes to the landfill. We then drove along one route that was entirely on the facility's on-site roads. We stopped at the crossroad leading to the landfill. The inspection team was shown another route where a single gate could be unlocked to provide another route to the landfill. Based on the review of the facility map and site observations, the two on-site routes to the landfill do not raise any concerns related to the landfill being an "off-site" landfill. There are two routes where the landfill can be accessed without traveling along a public road.
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 Site Emergency Management Plan, updated in December 2019, and approved in February 2020, which was reviewed. The last update put in new analytical methods, a quick reference guide, and updated regulatory references.
The plan described the 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 described arrangements agreed to with the local police department, fire department, other emergency response teams, emergency response

contractors, equipment suppliers, local hospitals or the Local Emergency Planning Committee. The facility has mutual aid agreements with numerous local agencies. The mutual aid letters were observed. These agencies have been provided a copy of the emergency plan.
The plan includes an emergency coordinator list. The Plant Shift Supervisor (PSS) is the emergency coordinator. The plan includes an evacuation plan and an emergency equipment list.
The facility also has a contingency plan for its 90-day areas, dated January 23, 2023. The quick reference guide was reviewed and was found to be adequate. As a federal facility managing radioactive wastes, the facility's emergency procedures and plans meet, or substantially exceed, the RCRA requirements.
Waste Analysis Plan and Procedures: Waste analysis procedures were reviewed. The Waste Analysis Plan (WAP) had been updated in December 2019 and approved in February 2020. The facility appeared to be permitted for all waste codes. All paperwork reviewed, as well as all information observed from the walk-through portion of the inspection, indicated that the facility is thoroughly classifying its waste streams. The waste determinations and classifications appeared to be correct.
Training Records: The inspectors reviewed the computer-based training system. This computer-based training is developed and updated by FRNP. The employees have also completed a 20-hour RCRA refresher through the United Steelworkers Union. The training is based on the employee's job description. All new employees are trained based on their job description. The computer-based training system automatically notifies employees when they are due for an annual review. The training covers identification of wastes, TSDF requirements, handling and storage of wastes, shipping and emergencies. The facility also has specialized training on such areas as lead, asbestos, beryllium, etc. The Human Resource section keeps job descriptions. All employees interviewed during the course of the inspection were knowledgeable about their duties concerning waste management.
Hazardous Waste Permit: The facility had a copy of its current permit and the related permit application. The facility environmental personnel were familiar with both the permit and the permit application.
Hazardous Waste Manifests and Land Disposal Restriction Notifications: The hazardous waste manifests, and Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) notifications, for 2022, and 2023, were inspected. No missing manifests or incomplete manifests were identified. LDRs were included with each manifest. The manifest records were very well organized and promptly retrieved. Manifests are kept on file indefinitely.
Annual Reports: The inspectors reviewed the 2021 Annual Report. There were 73 shipments for a total of 345,630 lbs. The facility ships its hazardous waste to Clean Harbors, WCS, DSSI and Energy Solutions. The 2022 Annual Report has been submitted.
EPA-RCRA CEI Report U.S. DOE Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant EPA ID# KY8890008982 Feb 28-Mar 2, 2023
Page 12 of 54
Weekly Inspection Records: The weekly inspection records for the container areas were reviewed. The inspections are typically performed by Chasity Sunderland. No missing or incomplete inspections were identified. The inspection log includes a checklist to record observations about leaking containers and for deterioration of containers caused by corrosion or other factors. The records included the date and time of the inspection and the name, signature and initials of the employee conducting the inspection. Employees are routinely recording inspection observations and subsequent follow-up actions on the inspection log.
Tank versus Container Review: In regard to the four 10,500 mobile tank units in Building C-752-A a review was conducted on whether the units were tanks or containers for regulatory purposes. The June 3, 1987, federal register, page 20919, states, "Several members of the regulated community has asked whether a mobile unit could ever qualify as a tank, because 260.10 defines tanks as "stationary devices." EPA confirms that a mobile tank would qualify as a tank under 260.10, and would be subject to the Subpart J tank standards of Part 264, as long as it was intended to be stationary during operation and it otherwise met the definition of a tank." On EPA's website, page 2 of the tank module states, "Tanks are simply receptacles for holding hazardous waste. The distinguishing feature of tanks is that they are stationary while in use." While the units in question are mobile when empty, they are not intended to be used as transportation units and are stationary when in use. Each unit, when full, would weigh over 42 tons. The units, based on information received from the facility, are over 20 years old and may be approaching their service life limit. For regulatory requirements per 401 KAR 39:090, Section 2(1) [40 C.F.R. 265.191 and 192], and for safety considerations, an assessment by a Professional Engineer is required. The tanks are subject to Subpart J requirements. This was identified as an area of concern.

During this meeting, the inspectors stated their preliminary conclusions of the inspection. The only area of concern was the four 10,500 storage units on the question of if they should be managed under the tank or container standards. The units were not in use at the time of the inspection and it was believed they were last utilized in the 2018-19 time frame. The facility agreed to provide photographs the following week.
