P.O. Box 5714 Denver, Colorado 80217 Dear Cle' : This letter will serve to specify and elaborate on the Division's interpretation; of the liquid waste stream that Roggen Disposal, Inc. may be authorized to receive regarding underground storage tanks. The basis for the waste is specifically water that has been contaminated with gasoline or diesel fuel. This could include waste water from: A. Groundwater tables adjacent to and contaminated by leaking storm tanks. B. Water removed from fuel storage tanks which held gasoline or diesel . C. Water from fuel lines, transport truck tanks, pumps or other fuel related equipment. D. Water recovered from the surface of the ground which is contaminated with gasoline or diesel fuel. E. Water that has been used to flush and/or clean gasoline or diesel fuel tanks , lines or equipment. The amount of petroleum contamination is not a limiting factor because these products are compatible with the existing waste stream. The level of lead can be a limiting factor if it is too high. Any liquid waste containing toxic substances or hazardous waste cannot be considered. I think that this adequately defines the waste that is being considered for the facility. This authority has not been approved as of this date. If you have further questions, please contact this office at 353-0635. Sincerely, r �- — 0 f r -� ,-- ,}L-7-,;----- _,, • --•-- I� a ,.

The control plan must enable the source to minimize fugitive emissions to a level that is technologically feasible and economically reasonable.

I called Clay Simmons (830-7156) and inquired on the matter. She confirmed that they were receiving bulk waste water from Limon. She said it was from an elevator that blew over in the tornadoes that they had recently. She said that the analysis showed the following: Acetone 24 ppb Butanane 34 ppb Tolulene 48 ppb I informed her that this was in violation of her certificate of designation issued under the auspices of a county special use permit. I advised her that they are required to hive approval from the county before varying from their permit. She said that she wasn't aware of that. She was trying to contact the facility to hault the dumping but feared that the dumping may already have been completed. I told her that she is required in such matters as this to submit the lab analysis with a letter requesting authorization along with . a copy of the state approval letter to this department. I closed the conversation with a request that she contact us as soon as possible to inform us as to what the status of the waste water was. If the dumping is completed I asked her to report the amount that was received. I • 1 rC J � Roggen Disposal P. O.

Ref : 8 HWM-ER - JUL - 3 1990 = Mr. Wes Potter, Director Environmental Protection Weld County Health Department 1517 16th Avenue Court Greely, CO 80631 Wastewater Disposal from Limon Elevator Dear Mr. Potter: EPA recently conducted an Emergency cleanup action in Limon, Colorado. The recent tornados had destroyed a facility that had stored farm chemicals. During the cleanup, EPA collected a wastestream of approximately 32, 000 gallons of water. It was subsequently determined that the wastewater was not hazardous. Rather than dumping the water on the ground, it gas determined that disposal through a treatment facility would be desirable due to odor and possible H2S problems. Roggings was selected because we were informed that they were both in compliance and could accept this wastestream. Please let me know if you need any more information.

C '�‘ Stationary Sources ), -4 __ E�(,,)E. C)(5 f 5 Air Pollution Control Division Lear Mr. Tistinic: . Pursuant to our discussion of today, I am writing on behalf of Mr. Howard C. Duckworth, owner of Weld County Disposal to describe the operations at the brine disposal site and the possible sources of odor in the area. As I indicated when we talked, the brine water received at the disposal site has approximately 2% crude oil associated with it. This brine water is discharged from the trucks into a concrete sump where the oil is skimmed from • the surface of the brine water and collected in closed tanks for sale. The brine water is pumped from the bottom of the sump through a series of three oil water separator tanks, to a seven acre clay-lined evaporation pond. Associated with the brine water are paraffins originally contained in the crude oil. These paraffins are waxy substances that have a low vapor pressure. Occasionally, during the summer months, these paraffins will float on the surface of the evaporation pond and will be accumulated behind a floating containment device located at the west end of the pond. Periodically, these paraffins are skimmed from the surface of the evaporation i pond by a vacuum truck and are removed from the site. I f t I have visited the site on numerous occasions and can recall only one f instance during the stir months, when wind speeds were low, that an oily odor was noticeable at the site. This odor was not especially objectionable but was much like the odor found in a service station. I do recall several times, however, during the summer months -when odors from the turkey farm located approximately 1/2 mile to the west of the disposal site have boon quite strong and objectionable. E I do not know what the nature of the complaints about odors in the area have been but I hope that this information is useful to you in issuing the air emissions permit for the site. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. I Sincerely, t CHEN & ASSOCIATES, INC. i t nc-[ r� y John E.
