Process Description
Changes since the last inspection:
Facility now manages waste aerosol cans as universal waste. New Power Plant has gone online - generating coal ash, waste lamps managed as universal waste, and
used turbine oil. Atkinson Central Power Plant has been decommissioned. Notified under Subpart P for waste pharms - Student Health Counseling Center, Veterinary clinic. Facility
opted into Subpart P; however, they do not generate any waste pharmaceuticals, either hazardous waste or non-hazardous waste, that would go back to a reverse distributor for credit.
Mr. Riley joined the opening conference at 10:18 a.m.
I asked for a list of all the hazardous waste and universal waste accumulation areas and was provided with this information during the inspection which is also included as attachments to this report.
During the inspection I was accompanied by Messer's. Deck and Riley.
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.

While inspecting the satellite accumulation area (SAA) near the maintenance shop, I saw a 55-gallon container with an attached aerosol can popper and filter. I asked the operator, Mr. Dean Ojala, Jr., CT3 Maintenance Mechanic Lead, about the container and he said they puncture aerosols into the container. At the time of the inspection, the container was approximately 1/6 full. The container was not labeled with the words "Hazardous Waste" and had no hazard indicator. UAF recycles the punctured aerosol cans as scrap metal.

While at the HMF, I saw seven, 55-gallon containers in Cell D. I looked at the labeling on one of the containers and saw that it was labeled as containing Iso-Propyl Alcohol. The containers were in a bermed concrete containment area that held an accumulation of liquid (potentially rainwater). I could see rust around the bottoms of the containers. According to Mr. Deck, five of the containers held Isopropanol, one held Methanol, and one held Ethanol. Mr. Deck told me that the containers held product that was used in various labs across campus.

At the time of the inspection, I observed several flammable, toxic, oxidizer, and corrosive storage cabinets in Bldg. 799 HMF. The exterior of each cabinet was marked with a hazard indicator. Mr. Deck confirmed the contents in the cabinets consisted of both product and hazardous waste. The products and wastes were separated in each cabinet by either being placed on separate shelves or on opposite ends of the same shelf. I looked at the wastes inside the cabinets and saw that all the hazardous wastes were labeled with the words "Hazardous Waste", but not a hazard indicator.

While in the HMF, I saw a pallet that contained boxes of four-foot fluorescent lamps that were labeled as universal waste. There were eight lamp boxes on the pallet and three of those lamp boxes were not closed. Two of the lamp boxes were not structurally sound. I saw one box at the bottom of the pile of boxes on the pallet, that was crushed from the boxes that were on it. It appeared to me to the weight of the other boxes caused the box on the bottom of the pile to be open. The other open box was broken (and therefore open) on the side.
Following the inspection, Mr. Deck sent me an email, dated October 8, 2021, that included both written and photo documentation that the cardboard boxes that contained waste fluorescent lamps had been repaired.

While in the HMF, I saw 14 small cardboard box containers. I asked Mr. Riley what the boxes held, and he said they held waste light ballasts and that each one contained a Ni-Cad battery. At the time of the inspection these ballasts were not labeled as a universal waste battery.
Following the inspection, Mr. Deck sent me an email, dated October 8, 2021, that included both written and photo documentation that the battery containers had been labeled. Although labeled, the photo documentation did not show that the containers were labeled with the words "Universal Waste." The photo showed them labeled as Non-RCRA waste. I contacted Mr. Deck by telephone on 11/22/21 to inquire about the labeling and he followed up with an email letting me know that the battery containers were in fact labeled with the words "Universal Waste."

While in the HMF, I saw a cart that held some boxes and a plastic container. The plastic container held various types of waste batteries including lithium and NiCad. According to Mr. Riley, the batteries were picked up from other locations on campus last Friday (9/10/21) and brought to the HMF. According to Mr. Deck, the waste lithium and NiCad batteries are managed as universal waste. There were at least 13 lithium/Ni-Cad batteries in the plastic container. Neither the plastic container nor any of the batteries were labeled as universal waste.
Following the inspection, Mr. Deck sent me an email, dated October 8, 2021, that included both written and photo documentation that the battery containers had been labeled. Although labeled, the photo documentation did not show that the containers were labeled with the words, "Universal Waste." The photo showed them labeled as Non-RCRA waste.

Mr. Deck also provided a copy of an inventory of the containers identified. The inventory includes the number of containers, container size, hazard determination and reference to photos taken of corrections made.

While inspecting Room 244, I saw containers under the fume hood SAA. One was labeled as an unknown and, according to Mr. Deck, required a waste determination. The other containers were labeled as waste but were not labeled with the words "Hazardous Waste" or hazard indicators.
Following the inspection, Mr. Deck sent me an email, dated October 8, 2021, that included both written and photo documentation that the containers of observed during the inspection were labeled with the words "Hazardous Waste" and hazard indicators. Mr. Deck also provided a copy of an inventory of the containers identified. The inventory includes the number of containers, container size, hazard determination and reference to photos taken of corrections made. Mr. Deck had previously stated in another email that the unknowns are truly unknown. In the email he says that once EHSRM Hazmat receives a waste pick up request for the items, they will be tested using the Haztech HazCat system to make the waste determination.

While in Room 143, in a SAA adjacent to the fume hood I saw four, 5-gallon containers, that according to the container labeling, held waste formalin and one 5-gallon container that according to the container labeling, held waste iso-propyl alcohol. I also saw a fifth container of waste Formalin inside the fume hood that Mr Riley told me was waste Formalin.

At the time of the inspection, I did not observe a label on any of the six containers that indicated if they held a hazardous waste nor did a I see a label that indicated the hazards of the container contents.
Following the inspection, Mr. Deck sent me an email, dated October 8, 2021, that included both written and photo documentation that the formalin waste containers located in the O'Neill 143 laboratory had been determined to be non-regulated. The formalin solution is a 10 percent solution containing 3.7 percent formaldehyde. While processing the samples the solution is further diluted. The one 5-gallon container of Isopropyl alcohol in 143 has been marked "Hazardous Waste" with the indicator word "Ignitable".

Records Review
During the records review, I inspected the facility's hazardous waste manifests, land disposal restriction notices (LDR), and weekly hazardous waste inspections for the period of 09/13/2018 through 09/13/2021. I also reviewed training records that were provided to me following the inspection which are listed in the document log of this inspection report.

I thanked everyone for their time and cooperation during the inspection and began a review of the areas of concern (listed in Section III - Areas of Concern) that I observed during my inspection of the facility. I then explained the follow-up process that would take place once I finished the report. I explained they would receive a copy as would a case officer. I told them that the case officer would review the report to determine if any of my areas of concern documented violations.
