___________________________________________
ACTION: Compliance Advisory #2403052/Closeout
Facility self-disclosure February 16, 2024
ISSUES:
CHGM received and disposed of hazardous waste without treatment.
This was because the waste was improperly profiled and manifested as
non-hazardous waste. A communication breakdown and a tracking
software loophole led to insufficient communication between the
generator, sales group, central profiling group, and the facility.
RESOLUTION:
All items were addressed in the response to the Compliance
Advisory. The Division took no further action.
___________________________________________
ACTION: Compliance Advisory #2401010/Closeout
CEI conducted: August 21 – 24, 2023
ISSUES:
1. Method accuracy check for pH verification listed was not in
compliance with the method or the permit.
2. It was unclear from the fingerprint logbook that the pH calibrations
for pH 2 and pH 12 were being done.
3. The update to Method GM-033.07 that was completed on June 5,
2023, was not provided to the Division when it was incorporated as
is required by the Permit.
4. Several inspection forms were completed incorrectly.
5. Cracks in the secondary containment of DFBWO.
6. An animal trail leading to and through a gap in the fence.
RESOLUTION:
All items were addressed during the week of the inspection and in
follow-up correspondence. The Division took no further action.

_____________________________________________________
ACTION: Warning Letter#2210119 issued October 21, 2022
Non-compliance self-disclosure – March 7, 2022
ISSUES:
CHGM disclosed that they had stabilized and disposed of 860 gallons of liquid waste that was profiled as
D002 only. They later learned from the generator that the waste was improperly profiled and should
have also carried a D007 waste code for chromium. As such, CHGM should have analyzed the waste
after treatment to ensure it met Land Disposal Restriction standards. This was not done.
The Division reviewed all the available information regarding the waste. The Division determined that
based on the information the generator provided, the central profiling group and CHGM should have
noted that chromium was a potential underlying hazardous constituent. The Division issued warning
letter 2210119.
RESOLUTION:
CHGM responded to the warning letter on December 5, 2022. Clean Harbors has implemented
improvements to their waste profile development process that will “better educate the user by
presenting potential EPA waste codes that may to apply to their waste as they enter various data points:
the waste composition (i.e., chemical names), physical state, pH range and flash point value.”
The Division took no further action.
________________________________________________
ACTION: Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI)
CEI conducted: August 22 – 25, 2022
ISSUES:
1. Containers with torn or peeling labels in DFBWO.
2. Containers beginning to rust in DFBWO-A4.
3. CHGM self-reported a drum fire on 8/5/2022 but did not note implementation of the contingency
plan in their report.
4. Expired buffer solutions in the laboratory.
RESOLUTION:
All items were addressed during the week of the inspection. The Division took no further action.
______________________________________________________________________________
ACTION: Warning Letter#2111123 issued January 18, 2022
CEI conducted: September 20 -22, 2021.
ISSUES:
1. The Division directed CHGM to submit a permit modification to correct an error in condition
VI.H.1.
2. CHGM self-disclosed that they had stabilized and disposed of 90 drums of liquid waste that was on
a non-hazardous waste profile and non-hazardous manifests. They later learned the waste was
hazardous. As such, they should have analyzed the waste after treatment to ensure it met Land
Disposal Restriction standards. This was not done.
RESOLUTION:
Item 1: CHGM submitted a permit modification that was finalized in March 2022.
Item 2: The Division reviewed all the information CHGM had available regarding the 90 drums of
waste. The Division determined that CHGM followed all the requirements of the Waste Analysis Plan
in their permit and that the screening they conducted would have given no indication that the waste
UTAH DIVISION OF WASTE MANAGEMENT AND RADIATION CONTROL - COMPLIANCE HISTORY - CLEAN HARBORS GRASSY MOUNTAIN, LLC 3
did not match the non-hazardous profile description provided to them. The Division did not require
CHGM to take further action.

whenever activities or actions were performed that changed the nature of the engineering design, or
function, or operational characteristics of a waste management unit or (designed) system (including the
associated wastes). This interpretation was not meant to be a restriction on hazardous waste
management activities that were or are being accomplished normally and routinely on a day-to-day
basis. USPCI concurred with this interpretation.
