SORENCO Site Tank Closure Update
Coordination with the Bureau of Environmental Response and Remediation, Underground
Storage Tank (UST) Branch, has commenced concerning the closure of an underground storage
tank for a company called SORENCO. SORENCO, a perfume manufacture has apparently been
storing hazardous waste characterized for ignitible characteristics for the past three years.
Wastewaters accumulated in the underground storage tank have been a combination of isopropyl
alcohol, and SD-40 alcohol mixed with water. The tank has a capacity of 2000 gallons, and is
constructed of fiberglass material. In the past, wastewaters have been accumulated in the tank
for periods greater than 90 days before shipping the contents for disposal. Currently the tank
system is empty and contents have been manifested as hazardous waste.
Contact has been made with SORENCO concerning the tank contents, and what actions they
have taken towards the tank closure. They are not aware of any RCRA reporting requirements.
Chem Waste Management was hired to dispose of the contents and transported the contents to
a company called, Oil and Solvent Processing Company of Henderson, Colorado. The contents
of the tank were characterized only for ignitible characteristics, thus no information is available
for ciosure purposes of other possible constituents associated with the tank system.
It is apparent from the information supplied to Bureau of Environmentai Response and
Remediation, that the closure of this tank system can not be closed under the authority of the
UST program, and recommendation is given that this tank system be closed as a RCRA Tank
Closure with its regulatory closure guidelines, and corrective action schemes.
