(Roux) is submitting this Annual Report for the UPS facility located at 131 Ansel Hallet Road in West Yarmouth, Massachusetts (the Facility). This report provides a summary of activities associated with the Facility’s industrial wash water system and its disposal of toxic or hazardous materials during the reporting period. This report has also been prepared in response to the reporting requirements set forth in the Facility’s Storage of Toxic or Hazardous Materials License and covers the period between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. Based on information provided by UPS and as a result of complications arising from the COVID-19 pandemic as well as higher-than-usual employee turnover, pressure testing of the wash water holding tanks and piping system was not performed in 2021. Further, test results for all circuits, monitors, probes, alarms, traps, and systems have not been certified by a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.). UPS has been made aware of these issues of non-compliance and has made efforts to avoid similar non-compliance issues for the 2022 reporting year. Specifically, compliance with the Yarmouth Board of Health requirements have been escalated at a corporate level to better manage and ensure proper testing, inspections, and monitoring are performed. Additionally, UPS has retained an environmental consultant, Roux, to assist with regulatory compliance. Industrial Wash Water Holding Tanks and Piping System The Facility includes floor drains that capture fluids, principally vehicle wash water that drains on to the interior floor of the facility. The fluid captured in the floor drains flows by gravity and is pumped to two 5,000-gallon wash-water double-walled holding tanks located inside the Facility. The double-walled tanks are situated within lined rubber membrane concrete vaults. Various monitors, probes, and alarms are located throughout the wash-water system to control pumps and prevent overflows. Fluids stored in the wash-water tanks are removed on an as-needed basis for off-Site disposal by a licensed waste hauler (typically annually). The operation and maintenance protocols also include annual tightness testing of the storage tanks, piping and inspection of the floor drain trenches, traps and associated mechanical systems. To Roux’s knowledge, and based upon information provided by UPS, the tightness testing was not performed in 2021. During this reporting period, UPS conducted routine (i.e., monthly) inspections of its wash water holding tanks and piping system. The routine inspections include testing the system’s monitoring console, tank fill manhole, interstitial/vault sensors, vault sumps, floor drains, oil/water separator, control console, well motors, tank gauge manholes, and vent pipes. Based on the findings of the routine inspections, the inspected systems were observed to be properly functioning. Documentation of these routine inspections is provided as Attachment 1. As previously noted, certification of the pressure testing of the lines and wash tanks by a licensed P.E. was not performed during this reporting year. Mr. Carl Lawson October 28, 2022 Page 2 ROUX │ 0762.0480M004.100.LR Trap Maintenance Traps associated with the holding tank system were visually inspected by UPS and/or contracted personnel on a routine basis (i.e., monthly) during the reporting period. Trap maintenance is performed on an as-needed basis based on observations from the routine inspections. The following table provides a summary of trap and associated system maintenance performed during this reporting period. System Maintenance Log Date Maintenance Description Quantity 01/27/2021 Floor Drain Sediment Removal 207 gallons 05/03/2021 Oil/water Separator (OWS) Sludge Removal 130 gallons 07/27/2021 OWS Sludge Removal 648 gallons 10/26/2021 Floor Drain Sediment Removal 293 gallons The sediment and sludge removed from the floor drain and OWS was disposed of as non-hazardous waste The associated documentation is provided as Attachment 2. As previously noted, a visual inspection of all trench drain channels by a licensed P.E. was not performed during this reporting year. Reportable Spills According to UPS, there have been no reportable spills or leaks (i.e., greater than one gallon) of toxic or hazardous materials at the Facility during the reporting period. Hazardous Waste Management Damaged materials, or individual packages containing regulated materials typically up to five gallons, were shipped off-site for disposal during this reporting period. The following table provides a summary of the waste shipment from the Facility during the reporting year. The associated hazardous waste manifest is provided as Attachment 3. Hazardous Waste Removal Log Month Waste Description Quantity Receiving Facility April 2021 Damaged Materials Waste 94 pounds Veolia Technical Solutions, Flanders, NJ In addition to the above, based on information provided by UPS and as summarized in the following table, vehicle wash water was pumped from the Facility’s holding tank system on two occasions in 2021. The associated wash water removal documentation is provided as Attachment 4.1 Based on the available documentation, the wash water was received at the Yarmouth-Dennis Septage Treatment Facility. Wash Water Removal Log Date Quantity 08/21/2021 7,619 gallons 10/28/2021 4,000 gallons 1 The October 28, 2021, wash water tank pump-out was noted on the November and December 2021 monthly inspection logs. However, UPS has been unable to verify the accuracy of this note and has not been able to find supporting documentation that water was removed.
