3.1 General Operational Capabilities and
Treatment Strategies
The facility provides storage, blending, bulking,
shredding, and solidification services for non-RCRA regulated
industrial and special wastes. When wastes are received, they
are evaluated to determine the most appropriate management method.
The resulting processed batches are shipped to approved facilities
for disposal, recycling, reuse, or treatment. Appropriate analytical
tests are used to ensure compliance with applicable regulations
and specifications. Used oils are typically blended in bulk storage
tanks for use as a supplemental oil derived specification fuel.
Wastewaters, coolants, and related materials are typically blended,
and shipped off-site for aqueous treatment. Industrial solids
and sludges are shredded (if appropriate), consolidated and solidified
prior to shipment to an approved landfill or energy conversion
facility. Off specification consumer products are shredded, consolidated,
and solidified prior to shipment to an approved landfill or energy
conversion facility. Hazardous wastes are managed through a ten-day
transfer program. These wastes are also evaluated to determine
the most appropriate and economical treatment technology available.
Hazardous waste materials are temporarily accumulated under the
hazardous waste transporter ten-day transfer provisions to facilitate
economical transportation. The wastes are then routed to a permitted
facility having the appropriate treatment capabilities. All disposal
outlets utilized by Armor Environmental Services, Inc. must pass
initial and periodic audits conducted by Armor Environmental Services,
Inc.
3.2 Bulk Liquid Waste Loading and Unloading
Operations
Cargo tankers carrying bulk liquid wastes are unloaded
and loaded on a concrete unloading pad. The bulk tanker loading
area is a secure, contained system capable of accommodating two
cargo tankers. The concrete containment is designed to meet RCRA
secondary containment standards, and is sloped to a central spill
collection sump. The pump is located within secondary containment
as well.Bulk liquids such as used oils, coolants, and aqueous
liquids are transferred into one of three dedicated 25,000-gallon
blending and storage tanks. These tanks are located inside a concrete
containment structure designed to RCRA containment standards.
Containment floors and walls are coated with a chemical resistant
coating.
3.3 Container Receipt and Storage Operations
Waste materials received in containers are unloaded
directly onto a roofed receiving and sampling dock. Trucks and
trailers park on a concrete containment pad while being unloaded.
Shipping documents and container labels are reviewed upon receipt.
Samples may be collected for testing based on the type of material
received and the proposed management strategy. Following sampling,
drums are transferred to the container storage warehouse prior
to processing of off-site shipment. The roofed container storage
warehouse is also designed to meet RCRA containment requirements.
The building is equipped with an aqueous fire suppression system.
3.4 Used Oil Program
Armor Environmental Services, Inc. has received
authorization to operate a used oil management program from the
Tennessee Department of Environmental and Conservation. This activity
and site have been registered and identified by the Used Oil Processor
Number UOP 601028001.Used oil received in bulk and container shipments
as described in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this section. Inbound
materials are screened to ensure compliance with applicable specifications
and are then transferred to bulk storage. Final used oil blends
are shipped off-site via cargo tankers where they are ultimately
recycled or used as fuel product.
3.5 Aqueous Treatment Program
Compatible treatable materials are received as described
in sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this section. Candidates for this program
include non-RCRA regulated wastewaters, coolants, oil/water blends,
water based ink/paints, and similar materials. These materials
are processed into blended batches, and are then shipped off-site
via cargo tanker to an aqueous treatment facility for final treatment.
3.6 Solid/Sludge Shredding, Bulking, and
Solidification Program
Non-hazardous industrial waste solids and sludges
are received in bulk roll-off boxes, and containers. Non-RCRA
regulated wastes received in bulk are candidates for the bulk
solidification program, while non-RCRA regulated wastes received
in containers are candidates of the shredding, bulking and solidification
program. Wastes are selected for batch processing, and are analyzed
as a batch to ensure regulatory compliance. The batch samples
are sent out to a third-party laboratory for independent testing.
Containerized wastes are shredded and consolidated in a roll-off
box where residual free liquids are solidified during the batching
process. Bulk wastes are solidified in a dedicated solidification
pit, and loaded into roll-off boxes once the free liquids have
been solidified. The resulting material from each process is shipped
to either an approved land disposal facility, or to an energy
conversion facility depending on the generator's disposal requirements.
3.7 Consumer Product Destruction Program
Any off specification or out of date consumer product
that is not classified as a RCRA hazardous waste, a universal
waste, or pharmaceutical classified as a controlled substance
qualifies for this program. These materials can be accepted as
described in section 3.3, and destroyed by shredding the material.
Once shredded, the material is rendered useless, and is disposed
of in either an approved land disposal facility, or at an energy
conversion facility.
3.8 Ten Day Transfer Program
Armor Environmental Services, Inc. offers full service
waste management programs for hazardous wastes. Hazardous waste
management services are provided through the ten-day transfer
program. Armor Environmental Services, Inc. is a permitted hazardous
waste transporter and serves as a ten-day transfer facility for

recycling sites. Armor Environmental Services, Inc. facilitates
the waste approval process by submitting required waste profiles
and approval documents. Disposal outlets are selected based on
the EPA specified waste treatment methods, cost, and logistics
to ensure the cost-effective, as well as, compliant management
of customer waste streams. Shipping documents, labels, and transportation
services are provided by Armor Environmental Services, Inc. Hazardous
wastes are manifested from the generator directly to the final
disposal or recycling facility.

4.4 Site Climatology
Climate: Semi-humid
Prevailing Wind Direction: South
Wind Speed: 7-10 knots
Precipitation: 47.30 inches (Annual Average)
4.5 Site Geology
Moderately irregular topographic relief exists across
the site. The site generally slopes downward from the north towards
the south and southeast. The site is underlain by the Bigby-Cannon
Limestone Formation. The formation is typically medium grained,
medium bedded limestone with occasional shale partings and brown
phosphate pellets. The formation weathers to produce a brown silty
clay or clayey silt. Residual soils of the Bigby Cannon formation
typically have a high concentration (10% average) of tri-calcium
phosphate. Previous site borings indicate a silty clay surface
soil. Beneath the surface soil lies a strata of previously disturbed
silty clays and clayey silts with random soil consistency indicative
of strip mine backfill. Underlying the disturbed soils lies a
thin stratum of residual soil. This is underlain by a hard coarse
grained, medium bedded limestone at depths of less than twelve
feet below surface.
4.6 Groundwater
Depth to groundwater on site ranges from five feet
below the ground surface to greater than 10 feet.
4.7 Flooding
According to the 1989 FIRM map for the facility,
the entire property lies outside the 100 year flood plain.
4.8 Surface Waters
The general surface water drainage patterns are
toward the southwest to a small unnamed stream that flows through
an inactive portion of the facility. The stream exits the property
at Hoover Mason Road, and empties into Quality Creek. Quality
Creek eventually empties into the Duck River.
4.9 Area Water Supply
Drinking water in the area is not supplied by private
drinking water wells. The facility is located within the service
area of the Mt. Pleasant municipal water system. The Mt. Pleasant
water supply originates from Sandy Hook Springs, located approximately
two miles southwest of Mt. Pleasant. Surface waters primarily
influence the water supply system.
4.10 Sewage Treatment
