Safety Kleen Permit
The Safety-Kleen Pioneer Road facility, located at 1066 South Pioneer Road in Salt Lake City, provides solvent distribution, collection, and reclamation to companies primarily engaged in automobile repair, industrial maintenance, and dry cleaning services. The facility collects petroleum and aqueous solvents, dry cleaning wastes, imaging wastes, paint wastes and universal wastes. The facility has a state hazardous waste permit to store hazardous wastes in containers and in a waste solvent storage tank. The facility also includes a vacuum distillation system for on-site recycling of petroleum-based parts washer solvents. The facility was originally permitted by the state in 1988, with the current permit on-line not official copy issued effective July 15, 2005. All wastes brought into the facility are either recycled on-site or shipped off-site for recycling, treatment or disposal.
Currently there are two permitted container storage areas at the facility. The warehouse storage area located inside the main warehouse building at the facility has a capacity of 4,500 gallons of containerized waste and is used to store spent parts washer solvent, spent immersion cleaner, dry cleaning wastes and spent imaging/photochemical wastes. Other materials, including non-hazardous wastes, universal wastes, 10-day transfer wastes and products may be stored in the warehouse storage area. The second container storage area is the metal waste paint storage building. This storage area is a separate building from the warehouse and is used to store paint wastes. It has a capacity of 3,300 gallons of waste and may also be used to store product. Containerized wastes stored at the facility are either recycled on-site or regularly shipped off-site for recycling, treatment or disposal.
Spent solvent from parts washers is either routed directly to the recycling system upon arrival at the facility or is pumped to the waste solvent storage tank. Containers of parts washer solvent are emptied into one of two dumpster/drum washers in the return and fill station on the warehouse dock. A pump in the dumpster/drum washer pumps the solvent to the recycle system or the waste storage tank. If parts washer solvent is not being recycled on-site, it is pumped from the waste storage tank to a tanker on a regular basis and sent off-site for recycling. The waste solvent tank is an above ground tank and has a permitted capacity of 13,986 gallons.
