Safety-Kleen Systems, Inc., operates a hazardous waste management facility located at 2320 Yadkin Avenue in Charlotte, North Carolina. Safety-Kleen is providing notice to the public concerning a general description of the facility's operation, types of hazardous materials and wastes managed at the facility, and a general description of the facility's government approved emergency response contingency plan. Safety-Kleen has been in operation at the present location for more than 40 years providing responsible and safe environmental recycling and waste management services for the automotive, commercial, and industrial businesses, as well as governmental agencies primarily located in the southern piedmont region of North Carolina. Safety-Kleen provides a host of parts cleaning and environmental services for businesses of all sizes. These customers include some of the world's largest organizations to the corner automotive repair shop. Our commitment to environmental and operational excellence is evidenced by our EMS (Environmental Management System), which is compliant with the ISO 14001 Standards of Excellence. Operations at our Yadkin Avenue location include the accumulation and storage of various waste materials, parts cleaning products, and petroleum lubricants. The waste materials and products include recycled and used petroleum solvents, commercial dry-cleaner wastes, paint related wastes, used oils, used oil filters, oily wastewater, and used parts cleaning solutions. The facility functions as a hazardous waste storage facility, operating pursuant to 40 CFR 264, Standards for Owners and Operators of Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities. The Facility also meets the definition of a Transfer Facility under 40 CFR 263 and comparable State of North Carolina Rules and Standards applicable to Transporters of Hazardous Waste. As such, the facility may also hold certain hazardous wastes in closed USDOT approved containers for a period of ten (10) days or less during the normal course of transportation. The facility's hazardous waste operating permit authorizes the facility to conduct the following operations: storage of used petroleum (parts cleaning) solvent waste in a fixed roof steel aboveground storage tank provided with 100% secondary containment, operation of two drum washer/dumpster units for conveying used parts cleaning solvent an aboveground tank, and two enclosed secondarily contained storage areas for containerized ignitable and non-ignitable wastes. All of the waste materials managed at the facility are temporarily stored in containers and a tank while awaiting transportation to other off-site recycling and waste management facilities. No disposal or treatment of hazardous waste occurs at this facility. Safety-Kleen's permit-required contingency plan specifies safety and emergency response procedures to be implemented in the event of a significant release or fire involving hazardous materials/wastes. Safety-Kleen has provided copies of the contingency plan to local emergency response agencies with jurisdiction over this facility. Arrangements have also been made with these agencies, including the Mecklenburg County Emergency Management Agency, to provide emergency response support and evacuation assistance to the general public in the vicinity of the facility if such an occasion arises.
