Re: Progressive Environmental Services Inc., Petition for Adjusted Standard
Dear Board,
Enclosed please find Progressive Environmental Services Inc. (PESI), petition for
adjusted standard, complete with attachments and exhibits.
If it pleases the Board, I bring the following to your attention:
*
PESI will immediately publish notice and send verification of same within 14
days.
*
PESI's petition requests that if applicable, public hearing be waived. In the
event that a hearing is necessary, the Petitioner is not available May 20-27, 2001.
*
PESI also requests an
expedited hearing
in order to fulfill a March 27, 2001
deadline imposed by IEPA.
PESI's request for adjusted standard is almost identical to an adjusted standard that the
Board previously considered and granted. (See The Board's Order in AS-97-9 for Recycle
Technologies Inc.)
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Please direct any questions to the
undersigned.

PETITION OF PROGRESSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
(d/b/a/ Antifreeze Recycling)
FOR AN ADJUSTED STANDARD UNDER
35 ILL ADMIN. CODE 720.313 (c)
AS-01 —
PETITION FOR DETERMINING
WHETHER A MATERIAL IS A SOLID WASTE
COMES NOW, Progressive Environmental Services, Inc. (d/b/a Antifreeze Recycling), by and through its
Attorney Todd Parish, for its petition for determining whether a material is a solid waste, state as
follows:
a)
A statement describing the
standard from which an adjusted is sought.
PESI requests that the
Illinois Pollution Control Board (Board) review PESI's process of filtering used antifreeze at a
customer's site, and determine that the filtered antifreeze is a commodity-like material. PESI
requests that the Board make a solid waste determination, in accordance with 35 IAC 720.131(c),
that the filtered (reclaimed) antifreeze is not a solid waste, and as a result, is not regulated as such.
b)
A statement that indicates the regulation of general applicability was promulgated to
implement, in whole of in part, the requirements of the CWA (33 USC 1251 et seq.), Safe
Drinking Water Act 942 USC 300(0 et seq.), Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability (42 USC 9601 et seq.), CAA (42 USC 7401 et seq.), or the State
programs concerning RCRA, UIC, or NPDES [415 ILCS
5/28.1] The regulation of general
applicability, 35 IAC 721.131(c), was promulgated to implement, in part, the State program
concerning RCRA.
c)
The level of justification as well as
other information or requirements necessary for an
adjusted standard as specified by the regulation of general applicability or a statement that
the regulation of general applicability does not specify a level of justification or other
requirements.
There is no level of justification specified by 35 IAC 721.131(c); however, the
regulation of general applicability does include specific criteria, which must be followed by the
Board in making the solid waste determination. The criteria, as they apply to the applicant's
process, are detailed below:
1.
Degree of processing the material has undergone and the degree of further processing that is
required.
PESI will filter the antifreeze through a bag filtration system at the customer's site, then
transport the filtered product to a centralized location for further conditioning in a reverse
osmosis system. It is a common practice in the antifreeze recycling industry for a company to
filter the used antifreeze through bag filters, add chemical inhibitors, and resell the material to
the customer with out leaving the customer's location. In that situation, no further processing
would be required; however, PESI has chosen to significantly improve the quality of the final
product through an additional off-site conditioning process. PESI has invested significant
capitol in a reverse osmosis filtration system that removes the dyes, inhibitors and other
chemicals from filtered antifreeze, producing nearly pure ethylene glycol. Inhibitors may then
be added to the recycled product to produce a high-quality alternative to virgin antifreeze.
The high-quality product can be resold to a customer at a premium price.
2. Value of the material after it has been reclaimed.
The quality of the reclaimed product will approximate virgin antifreeze; thus, the value will be
similar. Currently the market price for the reclaimed product is $1.80 per gallon in the St.
Louis metropolitan area.
3.
The degree to which the reclaimed material is like an analogous raw material.
The reclaimed material will be equivalent to virgin antifreeze from a chemical, physical, and
economic standpoint.
4. The extent to which an end market for reclaimed material is guaranteed.
The reclaimed material is sold to clients when the next service cycle is needed. PESI's on-site
recycling business has been in operation since 1997, and has an established client list of over
100 clients. GM, Ford and most other original equipment manufacturers approve the use of
recycled antifreeze (see attachment #1). Currently, the St. Louis area has three other
companies recycling antifreeze. PESI has emerged as the leading provider of high-quality,
recycled anti-freeze as a result of using the reverse osmosis conditioning process.
5.
The extent to which the reclaimed material is handled to minimize loss.
Only the impurities removed from the used antifreeze are lost during the reclamation process.
It is estimated that over 99% of the ethylene glycol content of used antifreeze is reclaimed.
Other relevant factors.
The centralized process consists of four tanks. The first tank is a receiving tank for the
filtered antifreeze. The second tank is used for flocculation which further clarifies the
material. The third tank feeds the reverse osmosis machine. The fourth tanks holds the
product until it is pumped on to the truck for delivery. All fmal conditioning operations are
conducted indoors, on a concrete floor.
d)
A description of the nature of the petitioner's activity that is the subject of the proposed
adjusted standard.
The material is filtered through a bag filter at the customer's facility onto a
PESI truck. The reclaimed antifreeze is then transported to a central location for further
conditioning to enhance the marketable value of the reclaimed antifreeze. At the central location,
the material is off loaded into a holding tank. The material is then transferred to a flocculation step
in a second tank. The flocculation step is used to further clarify the material. The material is then
transferred to a third holding tank. The material is filtered through the reverse osmosis membranes
and collected in a forth tank. This material is mixed with dyes and inhibitors and sold to
customers.
The central processing facility is located at: 708 McClusky Road, Jerseyville, Illinois, 62052. The
facility consists of a 40 foot by 60 foot steel frame building with a concrete slab floor, and an
eight-inch concrete berm forming the foundation of the exterior walls. The steel frame building
was built in the 1930's. The facility currently employs two people. The tanks used to contain the
materials are 2000-gallon heavy-duty, polyethylene agricultural chemical tanks purchased new in
1999.
There are no air emissions resulting from the final conditioning process due to the nature of the
materials processed (water, filtered anti-freeze), and the fact that the fmal conditioning process is a
closed process. There are no volatile organic materials contained in the process that could result in
hazardous air emissions. There are no regulated discharges to a POTW, or other water source, as a
result of the final conditioning process. The only residuals generated from the final conditioning
process are precipitated solids. The residual solids were analyzed and found to contain no
regulated levels of Toxicity Characteristic metals (see analytical results, attachment #2). PESI
certifies, in accordance with Section 3.45 of the Illinois Pollution Control Act, that the residual
solids are not Illinois Special Wastes, as defined in the Illinois Environmental Protection Act. The
residual solids are disposed of in a solid waste landfill.
e)
A description of the efforts that would be necessary if the petitioner to comply with the
regulations of general applicability. If the Board determines that the antifreeze reclaimed in the
initial filtration process at the customer's site is solid waste, PESI would be required to obtain a
Special Waste Operating Permit to manage the material at the central processing facility. PESI
would have to manifest and report all shipments of the antifreeze from the customer's facility to the
central processing facility. PESI would be subject to significant record keeping requirements
associated with reporting and manifesting the antifreeze as a special waste. PESI would have to
obtain a special waste transportation permit to transport the antifreeze from the customer's site to
PESI's central facility. PESI would be required to obtain a financial instrument for closure of the
facility.
f)
A narrative description
of the proposed adjusted
standard as well as proposed language for
a Board order that would impose the standard. The regulation of general applicability (35 IAC
721.131) includes specific language allowing the Board to render a solid waste determination.
There are no additional efforts necessary for PESI to meet the proposed adjusted standard. PESI
has all equipment necessary to meet the proposed adjusted standard. There are no additional costs
associated with meeting the proposed adjusted standard.
g)
The quanitative and qualitative description of the impact of the petitioner's activity on the
environment
if the petitioner were to comply with the regulation of general applicability as
compare to the quanitative and qualitative impact in the environment if the petitioner were
to comply only
with the proposed adjusted standard.
There are no obvious qualitative or
quantitative differences in the impacts to the environment between adherence to the regulation of
general applicability, and the proposed adjusted standard. The regulation of general applicability
would require PESI to obtain a permit and generate additional paperwork in the form of manifests
and reports, but it would have no direct impact on the environment. There would be no change in
emissions generated by the centralized processing facility under the proposed adjusted standard,
because the final conditioning process would remain unchanged. There are no emissions currently
generated by the final conditioning process, therefore, permitting the process would do little, if
anything, to enhance the environmental quality of the process. Classifying
antifreeze that has
been run
through the initial filtration process as a solid waste may have a negative impact on
the environment. For example: An auto service station, faced with the burden of additional
record keeping requirements associated with manifesting and reporting his antifreeze as a
solid waste (Illinois Special Waste), may choose to
pour the antifreeze into
a
public sewer
system.
The only byproduct of the filtration process is the concentrated solid residual material (precipitate)
that is non-hazardous, and certified by PESI as exempt from the Illinois Special Waste rules (see
item d.). PESI has sampled and analyzed the precipitate collected from the final conditioning
process, and determined that the material is not a characteristic hazardous waste (see analytical
results attachment #2). The material may be placed into a solid waste landfill. There are no other
discharges to land, air, or water associated with any part of the final conditioning process.
The potential risk of harm to the environment associated with an accidental release from the final
conditioning process is extremely limited for several reasons: 1) relatively small quantities of
materials are stored at any given time; 2) there are limited environmental hazards associated with
ethylene glycol ( see MSDS, attachment #3); 3) the holding times for materials contained in the
filtration process, and stored as final product, are very short due to demand for the finished
product. Currently, the maximum practical amount of material that may be contained in the entire
final conditioning system at one time is 4000 gallons. It is important to note that the likelihood of
a release of the entire contents is extremely low considering each of the three tanks would have to
fail simultaneously. The holding times for the material in the process tanks is roughly 48 hours.
The process is essentially a "hand to mouth" operation, requiring that the incoming material be
processed to make new material to re-supply the customer.
h)
A statement which explains how the petitioner seeks to justify, pursuant to the applicable
level of justification the proposed adjusted standard. No justification is necessary. Please
refer to bullet item c) above for further detail.
i)
A statement with supporting reasons that the Board may grant the proposed adjusted
standard consistent with federal law. The regulation of general applicability [35 IAC
721.131(c)] includes a provision for the Board to make a ruling in such cases in determining
whether a material is a solid waste. The federal regulations mirror the state regulations in language
and content. There are no further procedural requirements imposed by federal law that are
applicable to the Board's decision on the petition. The citation for the federal regulation of
general applicability is 40 CFR 260.31(c).
j)
A statement requesting of waiving a hearing on the petition (pursuant to Section
104.422(a)(4) of this Part a hearing will be held on all petitions for adjusted standards filed
pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 212.123(CAA)). PESI requests that a hearing on the petition be
waived.
k)
The
petition must cite to supporting documents or legal authorities whenever they are used
as a basis for the petitioner's proof. See attachments.
Any additional information which may be required in the regulation
of general applicability.
In the industry of antifreeze recycling there are a number of companies that sell on site recycling
machines (Wynn's, BP 5, Glyclean, and HYtech). These machines perform the same function as
the bag filters PESI uses in the initial filtration process performed at the customer's site. In fact,
the primary components of the machines are bag filters and a pump. The machines pump the
antifreeze through the bag filters and generate a recycled product. Inhibitors and dyes are added to
make it a finished product. PESI is simply polishing the recycled product at a centralized facility
before it is resold as a finished product. In April of 1997 Recycle Technologies, Inc. (RTI) was
granted an adjusted standard. RTI uses an RO system that is identical in function to the RO system
used by PESI.
