Please address the following issues at Morrisville Dry Cleaners, as discussed during our on-site meeting on
September 13, 2012.
At no time shall any dry-cleaning solvent, wastes containing dry-cleaning solvent, or water containing
dry-cleaning solvent be discharged onto land or into waters of the State, sanitary sewers, storm drains,
floor drains, septic systems, boilers, or cooling-towers.
1. Adequate spill containment (secondary containment) must be present underneath all waste solvent
storage areas. (Spill containment must be capable of holding 110% of the capacity of the largest waste
container in the containment area, and be constructed of material that will retain its chemical and
structural integrity in case of a spill or leak for a period of 72 hours). Currently your 55-gallon waste
drum is not stored within spill containment.
2. Spill containment (secondary containment) must be present underneath and around the solvent storage
area. (Spill containment must be capable of holding 110% of the capacity of the largest vessel (solvent
tank/waste container) in the containment area, and be constructed of material that will retain its
chemical and structural integrity in case of a spill or leak for a period of 72 hours). Currently, your
DF2000 solvent drum is not stored within spill containment.
Please maintain the required records and documentation for your facility. Please also review the "Minimum
Management Practice (MMPs)" compliance requirements and the "Letter of Introduction" as it lists items that
compliance inspectors will need to review to determine environmental compliance at your dry cleaner facility.
Please submit a written response to the address below by October 16, 2012, as to the actions you have taken to
address the above items.
