T.F. Green Airport Improvement ProgramEnvironmental Impact Statement and Final Section 4(f) EvaluationRCRA-Regulated Hazardous WastesThe EPA requires biennial reports of information regarding the generation, management, and final dispositionof hazardous wastes regulated under RCRA (regulated as small and large quantity generators). 260 Based on theEDR database search and specific file reviews conducted at the RIDEM, no RCRA violations or violations of theRhode Island Rules and Regulations for Hazardous Materials were identified within the Project Area, although theT.H. Baylis Co., Inc. file was unavailable for review.One large quantity RCRA generator, Jay Packaging Group, Inc. located at 100 Warwick Industrial Drive, iswithin the Project Area (Figure 4-34). Jay Packaging Group, Inc. generates hazardous and non-hazardous wasteas a result of printing and coating paperboard packaging components (oil solids, spent lubricating oil,photographic fixer, silver, treated waste water, residual inks left after production cleanup, and mixed solventcleaners). RIDEM’s Office of Compliance and Inspection completed a Field Inspection Report onSeptember 29, 2004 and placed the site on the 2005 target list. In April of 2005, a Notice of Violation wasforwarded to U.S. Corporation Company from RIDEM with an administrative penalty. In September 2005,RIDEM re-inspected the property and indicated the site seemed to be compliant with most of the violations.4.16.2.2 Pollution Prevention Measures at T.F. Green AirportOperational procedures for product handling, particularly those relevant to spill prevention are included in theSpill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plan. 261 Emergency response procedures, oil spill clean-upprocedures, and reporting procedures are also described in the Plan.4.16.2.3 Solid WasteConsideration is given to solid waste materials, including sanitary sewage, and demolition debris andassociated materials.Solid WasteThe majority of facilities along the west side of the Airport (the Airport terminal and belly cargo facility) areconnected to the municipal sanitary sewer system along Post Road for treatment at the Warwick WastewaterTreatment Plant. Sanitary waste from aircraft is pumped into lavatory trucks, where it is pretreated withpropylene glycol. Trucks offload the waste at an underground, enclosed triturator at the southern end of the bellycargo facility. The waste is then gravity-fed into a holding tank. A pump station conveys the waste to a sewer lineconnected to the municipal sewer system along Post Road.Terminal and aircraft trash generated at the Airport is stored in two covered, roll-off, dumpsters at the individualtenant facilities located at the terminal loading dock. Waste from the two roll-off dumpsters and from smallerdumpsters used by other airport and tenant facilities is collected by private contractors, and disposed off-Airport, inaccordance with state regulations. Recycling bins for miscellaneous recyclables are maintained throughout theAirport and tenant facilities.260 The National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report, EPA. Based on 1997 data, updated July 20, 2001. Small quantity generators generate less than220 pounds of hazardous waste, or less than 2.2 pounds of acute hazardous waste per month. A facility is defined as a federal large quantity generator if itgenerated in any single month 2,200 pounds or more of RCRA hazardous waste, 2.2 pounds of RCRA acute hazardous waste; or more than 220 pounds ofspill cleanup material contaminated with RCRA acute hazardous waste.261 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plan T.F.
