In March 2005, EPA inspectors found the facility had open containers of hazardous waste and stored its hazardous waste and used oil in severely corroded and leaking containers. The EPA found the facilityÂs treatment, handling, storage, and disposal of motor oil, used motor oil, used oil-based paint, solvents, and other unknown solid and hazardous waste was an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health and the environment.
The facility treated, stored and disposed of hazardous waste without a permit and also failed to:
 notify the EPA of its waste activity;
 transfer waste into containers in good condition, keep containers closed, and conduct weekly inspections;
 determine the type of and minimize releases of hazardous wastes;
 store used oil in un-leaking containers and label containers; and
 respond to releases of used oil, and comply with oil pollution control requirements
Operations at the airport facility include equipment maintenance and waste treatment and disposal. The facility historically accepted and burned solid and hazardous waste from airlines, law enforcement agencies, local businesses, and military vessels.
