03/07/2024 - 03/07/2024
EPA Region 10 Lead Inspector, Jon Jones, arrived at the Lowe's of Anchorage #289 Facility (the "Site" or "Facility"), located at 333 E Tudor Rd, Anchorage, AK 99503-7318, at 09:13 AM (AKT) on 03/07/2024 for an unannounced inspection. EPA Region 10 Lead Inspector presented credentials to and informed Jeff Van Splunder this was an EPA Region 10 inspection to determine compliance with Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
This was a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) inspection. The facility was inspected to ensure compliance with standards for hazardous waste generators and universal waste management (40 C.F.R. Part 262 through 273). The inspection was conducted as part of a Core Program requirement for FY 2024.
This report is based on information supplied by Lowes Of Anchorage #289 Facility representatives, observations made by the EPA Region 10 inspector, and records and reports maintained by the facility and its HQ including, but not limited to: direct observations made by the EPA Region 10 Inspector(s), photographs taken by EPA Region 10 inspector(s), physical evidence collected by the EPA Region 10 inspector(s), measurements or samples taken by EPA Region 10 inspector(s), verbal or written statements made by information supplied by the facility representatives during or subsequent to the on-site Inspection, and materials, processes, data, photographs, or documents shown, demonstrated, or submitted to the EPA Region 10 inspector(s) by the facility representatives during or subsequent to the on-site Inspection.

Opening Conference
Shortly after arriving at Lowe's, we were taken up to Mr. Van Splunder's office where I held the opening conference. I presented my inspector credentials to and informed Mr. Van Splunder, Assistant Store Manager, this was an EPA Region 10 inspection to determine compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
During the opening conference, I explained that the focus of the RCRA inspection was to identify types of wastes generated, points of waste generation, methods of waste management, and review relevant documents.
Only those areas in which I observed potential compliance concerns or noted other pertinent issues are discussed in Section III of this inspection report.

Process Description
During the opening conference, Mr. Van Splunder told us the wastes generated at the facility were generated either due to product being damaged as it enters the store through receiving, damaged on the shelf at the store, or customer returns that cannot be resold. Mr. Van Splunder initially told me that the facility's waste lamps were managed as hazardous waste, but as I observed later during the inspection and verified through disposal paperwork, the facility was managing their waste lamps as universal waste. They store hazardous waste in two locations: the receiving area and the exterior hazmat cage.
We were accompanied during the inspection by Mr. Van Splunder. I looked at the facility's processes, 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.

Person Interviewed: Richard Holt
Title: Receiving
Mr. Van Splunder took us to the receiving area and while there, we met with Mr. Richard Holt, Receiving/Hazardous Waste Manager. While in the receiving area, we saw an area where the facility was accumulating various sizes of waste fluorescent lamps. During the inspection, we observed the following:
A container that held four-foot waste fluorescent lamps was not closed and was not labeled or clearly marked with either of the following phrases: "Universal Waste-Lamp(s)," "Waste Lamp(s)," or "Used Lamp(s)."
A container that held eight-foot waste fluorescent lamps was not closed and was not labeled or clearly marked with either of the following phrases: "Universal Waste-Lamp(s)," "Waste Lamp(s)," or "Used Lamp(s)."

One, blue, five-gallon bucket/container that held waste compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) was not closed and was not labeled or clearly marked with either of the following phrases: "Universal WasteLamp(s)," "Waste Lamp(s)," or "Used Lamp(s)."
One small, two-gallon container that held one, 1.5-foot waste fluorescent lamp was not closed and was not labeled or clearly marked with either of the following phrases: "Universal Waste-Lamp(s)," "Waste Lamp(s)," or "Used Lamp(s)."
Two, 1.5-foot waste fluorescent lamps, laying behind some blue, five-gallon containers, were not packaged and were not labeled or clearly marked with either of the following phrases: "Universal Waste-Lamp(s)," "Waste Lamp(s)," or "Used Lamp(s)."
A container that held a variety of waste fluorescent lamps in various styles and sizes, including four, 1.5foot waste lamps (three loose and one still in the fixture) and two round/circular waste lamps, was not closed and was not labeled or clearly marked with either of the following phrases: "Universal WasteLamp(s)," "Waste Lamp(s)," or "Used Lamp(s)."
One, 32-gallon, open-top, poly container that held incidental broken lamps was not labeled or clearly marked with either of the following phrases: "Universal Waste-Lamp(s)," "Waste Lamp(s)," or "Used Lamp(s)." Mr. Holt rotated the drum to demonstrate the lack of labeling. Incidental broken lamps may be managed as universal waste.
One, 32-gallon container that held waste lithium-ion batteries was mislabeled as "hazardous waste." Mr. Holt said they manage batteries as Universal Waste. Mr. Holt told us he had run out of the correct universal waste labels and said he could get more from another local Lowe's location. Mr. Holt removed the hazardous waste label at the time of the inspection.
A plywood storage bin that held lead-acid automotive batteries was labeled with both a universal waste label and a hazardous waste label. Mr. Holt said the automotive batteries were recycled through a local vendor. Mr. Holt removed the universal waste label and the hazardous waste label from the plywood storage bin at time of inspection. We requested the name of the recycling facility & paperwork regarding the transportation of batteries for recycling. Mr. Holt told us he did not readily have that information on hand but would provide it later.
Although weekly inspections of universal waste are not required, during my inspection of the facility's weekly hazardous waste inspection logs following the inspection, I observed that universal waste was something that the facility included in their inspection checklist. Their checklist specifically indicates that inspection personnel are looking to see if waste four-foot lamps, waste eight-foot lamps, and waste CFL fluorescent bulb disposal boxes are properly labeled as Universal Waste Bulbs with the accumulation start date, lids closed, and full boxes sealed? Based on the information that was being recorded in the logs it was apparent that the areas of concern identified above were not being identified during these inspections.

During the inspection asked to see the last three years of hazardous waste manifests and land disposal restriction notices (LDRs) covering the period of 03/07/2021 through 03/07/2024. Mr. Van Splunder told us that the Store Manager was not onsite, and he did not have access to these documents. Mr. Van Splunder told me they would have to send the documents to me following the inspection.
I returned to the facility on the afternoon of Monday 03/11/24 to see if I could get with the store manager and inspect the documents. At that time, I was told by onsite management that I would need to reach out to Rick Kosmata, Facility Manager for any documentation. Onsite management provided me with Mr. Kosmata's email at the time of my visit.
I returned to my office and decided that I would reach out to the facility's point-of-contact (Robert Gass) listed on the facility's site detail report that I reviewed prior to the inspection. I emailed Mr. Gass, Director of Hazardous Waste & Environmental Compliance on 03/21/24 and requested the hazardous waste manifests and LDRs. Mr. Lionel Damas, Environmental Operations Compliance Specialist, followed up with me in an email on 4/2/24 and provided the requested information in an attachment.

Neither Mr. Van Splunder nor Mr. Holt knew how they were being managed, so I inquired about the management of the batteries in a 3/21/24 email to Mr. Robert Gass, Director of Hazardous Waste & Environmental Compliance. Mr. Gass was listed in the RCRA Site Detail report as the contact person for source information.
