(Roux) is submitting this Annual Report for the FedEx facility located at 60 Ansel Hallet Road in West Yarmouth, Massachusetts (the Facility). The 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. The report has been prepared in accordance with the reporting requirements set forth in the Facility’s Storage of Toxic or Hazardous Materials License and covers the period between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022. Industrial Wash Water Holding Tank and Piping System On November 17, 2022, a registered Massachusetts Professional Engineer (PE) from Roux conducted the required annual visual inspection of the holding tank system. The following observations were made during the inspection: • Based on the visual inspection of the trenches, traps, tank sumps, and concrete pads associated with the system, all system appurtenances were in good and working condition (i.e., there was no evidence of cracks or other wear and tear that would suggest a potential risk for leaks or discharges to the subsurface). • There was some debris (sediment and leaf matter) observed in the trench drains and the trap in the sorting area that appeared to cause localized clogging, as indicated by the retention of the water in the drains. • The system alarm panel was in good working condition, and both the visual and audio indicators were functioning properly for each of the three tank sensors. • Standing water was present around the seams of a concrete patch from a historical trench drain that was previously removed. As the standing water was present at the time of inspection, it is unlikely there were cracks in the seams extending through the concrete slab. However, over time, a crack could develop should the standing water be permitted to accumulate around the seams. • The handle on the fiberglass lid for the tank sump was heavily corroded. In addition to the above, several housekeeping items were in need of attention, including some areas with chemical drips and sorbent pads with oil that had not been cleaned up, containers not being stored on containment pallets, and storage of vehicle parts outside of designated areas. Based on the November 17, 2022, visual inspection of the holding tank system, Roux recommended that: • The trench drains be cleaned at more frequent intervals throughout the year (e.g., quarterly). • Mesh guards be installed on the trench drain outlets to mitigate solids from entering the traps and the holding tank. • The seams around the concrete patch in the sorting area be resealed to ensure that they do not become a conduit to the subsurface in the future. Mr. Carl Lawson, Jr. June 1, 2023 Page 2 ROUX │ ANNUAL REPORT 0444.0074M005.107.LR • The tank sump lid handle be replaced. • Housekeeping items be addressed, including the clean-up of chemical drips and sorbent materials, implementation of secondary containment for containers, and relocation of vehicle parts to designated areas (e.g., indoors or in covered areas away from exposure to precipitation and away from trench drains). It is Roux’s understanding, based on a review of work order completion documentation, that the Facility has cleared the sorting area trench drains and trap of debris that was causing localized ponding within the trenches, that standing water was removed by the concrete patch from a historical trench drain, and that the fiberglass lid handle for the tank sump was replaced by the end of February 2023. Additionally, based on conversations with FedEx, the housekeeping items were also addressed. Roux will inspect these improvements during its next annual inspection. In addition to performing the visual inspection, Roux’s PE oversaw testing of the holding tank’s three alarm sensors (high-level, tank interstitial containment, and piping interstitial containment). The sensor testing was conducted by US Ecology, as indicated in the attached testing form (Attachment 1). All three sensors were determined to be fully operational. Additionally, FedEx manually tested the leak detection panel weekly during 2022 to ensure that the audible and visual alarms were functional. Panel testing logs for the 2022 reporting year are provided as Attachment 2. Based on both the visual inspections and the alarm sensor testing, Roux’s PE has determined that the wash water system is in good working condition and is not discharging to the environment. FedEx will continue to manually test the leak detection alarm panel in accordance with the Facility’s Storage of Toxic or Hazardous Materials License and will have the entire holding tank system inspected and the monitoring system tested under the oversight of a PE on an annual basis. The system will next be inspected and tested in 2023. Trap Maintenance Traps associated with the holding tank system were visually inspected by FedEx personnel on a routine basis (i.e., quarterly) during 2022. In addition, the traps were inspected by Roux’s PE during the November 17, 2022, annual inspection. Except as noted above for the sorting area trap, the traps were in good working condition and did not require any additional maintenance in 2022. Reportable Spills According to FedEx, there have been no reportable leaks or spills (i.e., greater than one gallon) of toxic or hazardous materials at the Facility during the reporting period. Hazardous Waste Management Used oil, fuel filters, and oil filters from vehicle repair activities in the Facility’s maintenance garage were shipped off-site for disposal during the reporting period. No waste solvent, waste antifreeze, or aerosol cans were disposed of during the reporting period. The following table provides a summary of the waste shipments.
