While inspecting the single step carbonization process in the basement, I observed four 55-gallon drum container, each labeled as hazardous waste. All four containers were closed and had accumulation start dates and hazard indicators. Two of the containers in this area had labels listing the waste as D003 reactive waste but had toxic hazard indicators. One container was labeled as, "SSC Carbon Tar PPE, Rags, Absorbent, & Ammonia," the other was labeled "SSC Acid Filters."

One additional area of concern is the hazardous waste tank in the basement level of the SSC area. This tank designates as Extremely Hazardous Waste and receives oil from the three oil tanks which are part of the oilwater separator process. I asked Chris Matuszak if the tank was subject to Subpart CC requirements, and he replied that he was not sure.
SECTION V - CLOSING CONFERENCE AND FOLLOW UP Closing Conference
During the closing conference, I reviewed the areas of concern cited above with Chris Matuszak and Craig Meredith. I requested the following:
Documentation of the corrected hazard indicator labels A copy of the contingency plan The waste profiles for the Waste Scrubber Oil Most recent analytical results for the Waste Scrubber Oil Waste profile for the Contaminated Rags Waste Profile for the SSC Waste Liquids I explained that I was not making a compliance determination on site, and that any follow up would likely come from a compliance officer once I finished the report. I thanked them for their time and cooperation and departed the facility at 1:15 PM.
Follow Up I observed Chris Matuszak close the funnel and label the used oil container in the Machine Shop SAA.
Communication Log I received an email from Chris Matuszak with the following records:
