(II) FACILITY CLASSIFICATION:

HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATOR CATEGORY - CESQG: Morrisville Dry Cleaners has contracted with MCF
Systems of Atlanta (EPA ID# GAD981269095) to transport the facility-generated non-hazardous solvent waste to a
licensed Treatment Storage or Disposal (TSD) facility. The most recent solvent waste generated was transported to
Clean Earth Alabama Inc. in Glencoe, AL (EPA ID# ALD981020894). Approximately 34 pounds of solvent waste are
generated per month. In the past 12 months, 550 pounds of facility-generated waste were transported off site. The last
waste pickup occurred on October 18, 2017, when a total of 550 pounds of solvent waste were transported off site
(liquid waste). No solvent waste was observed on site at the time of the inspection (just had a pickup).

(III) INSPECTION SUMMARY: On October 30, 2017, Pam Moore, Compliance Inspector, with the North Carolina
Division of Waste Management, Dry Cleaning Solvent Cleanup Act (DSCA) Program conducted a Compliance Inspection
at Morrisville Dry Cleaners. The inspector met with Kishan Desai, store owner, who provided the inspector access to the
facility's equipment and available records.

The dry cleaning equipment is operated for an average of four loads per day, Monday through Friday, starting at 7:30 a.m.
No dry cleaning equipment changes, modifications, and/or additions were made since the previous inspection. The dry
cleaning equipment was operating per the manufacturer's specifications and in compliance with all applicable regulations.
Adequate spill containment was utilized for all dry cleaning equipment, solvent storage, and waste solvent storage areas.
The spill containment areas exceeded 110% of the largest solvent container and appeared to be free of cracks, breaks, or
damage. An emergency response plan was posted and dedicated emergency spill cleanup materials were readily available
at the time of the inspection. All wastewater containing dry-cleaning solvent was properly disposed of as waste; a total of
about 4 gallons of contact water are generated per month. DSCA Petroleum Compliance Calendars were kept on site;
because the facility does not use a wastewater treatment unit, there is no required recordkeeping in the calendar. Additional
required recordkeeping (e.g. waste manifests) were readily available for review.

Picrin spotting agent, which contains TCE, is stored and used onsite. Mr. Desai said he has about ½ gallon of Picrin onsite
and uses it very sparingly; he also said he would very likely not purchase any more Picrin since the dry cleaners association
had urged its members to cease using it. Pyratex is the main spotting agent used onsite.

(IV) RECOMMENDATIONS: A DSCA Compliance Program Checklist (#02484) was issued to Mr. Kishan Desai, owner
of Morrisville Dry Cleaners, indicating any compliance issues to be addressed (no response required). Mr. Desai was
instructed to take the necessary actions to maintain compliance at Morrisville Dry Cleaners. A follow-up inspection should
be conducted by October 30, 2018 to confirm compliance.
