Inspection Date: 01/17/2018 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Met with Jack Sandlin, Terminal Manager, regarding a No Exposure Certification Application. A majority of the processes
and materials are under cover. Found a puddle of red liquid under one cleaned container trailer, most likely antifreeze.
Behind the washing/steaming shed, waste liquids are pumped to a container trailer for removal_ The junction of the hose and
container is a source of possible leaks, and thus the company puts a pan (half a barrel) under the junction. There were two
barrels with waste materials, one was very full. The cleaning process area may need additional evaluation. The container
trailers are steamed with sulfuric acid solution, which drains to an underground container, pumped to a long rectangle above
ground container, then pumped to the container trailer. The area could be a source of pollution if a major spill occurred as
there is not alot of freeboard with the concrete berms.
