Is Your Firing Range in Compliance with OSHA, EPA & RCRA with Required Regular Maintenance?
When Was the Last Time Your Firing Range had the Lead Removed? Are you willing (and able) to take this risk just to save a little money?
Keep in mind: under certain specific circumstances, range solid waste impacted with lead can be a RCRA Hazardous Waste. What does this mean for your range?
Improperly managed range soil or other backstop material, along with incorrectly collected, containerized and stored lead bullets or shot can trigger RCRA hazardous waste requirements and obligations for your range.
- Does your range cleanup and contractor crew really know what they are doing?
- Can they accurately communicate and prove to you, the range Owner/Operator, how they are keeping you out of a possible compliance nightmare situation with potentially thousands of dollars in fines and penalties?
Your choice of a lead reclamation contractor could expose your firing range to EPA hazardous waste fines up to $37,500 per DAY and potential criminal charges.
Sections 7002 and 7003 of the RCRA statute allow EPA, states or citizens to use civil lawsuits, to compel cleanup of or other action for “solid waste” (e.g., spent lead shot) posing actual or potential imminent and substantial endangerment. Since the risk of lead migrating increases with time, making ranges that have not removed lead more likely candidates for government action or citizen lawsuits under RCRA Section 7002 and 7003, ranges are advised to maintain a schedule of regular lead removal.
You may think that the job is done when your contractor rolls off of your property and tells you they will handle the lead and lead-waste… but as a matter of fact, you could be facing a painful EPA investigation by taking their word for it. Lead contaminated soil and waste (paper, PPE, filters, debris etc.) is commonly determined to be RCRA hazardous waste.
Your range may be liable for the negligent actions of the contractor you choose.
The Environmental Daily Advisor reported that there are 7 RCRA Violations That Can Send You to Jail and the #1 reason is one that should cause major concern, because if your contractor does this, you may be liable! It is: “Transport hazardous waste to a non-permitted facility.” Think about it, did you know this can be a criminal offense?
Did you ask the contractor on your last lead reclamation project how they would be handling YOUR lead waste or if the lead recycling facility they took YOUR lead to, is properly permitted?
For your protection, you must always maintain on-site written records of your Lead and Contaminated Waste Disposition!
When these violations come up, there may also be the additional consequence of an enforcement action for costly cleanup and remediation including Regulatory fines and penalties. Recent firing range environmental cases and projects have shown that a typical OSHA or EPA regulatory fine is in the range of $250,000-$500,000. Additionally, when the EPA has to step in, range cleanups with their oversight involved can be in the $5,000,000-$8,000,000 range.
A range owner ALWAYS retains responsibility for ALL lead waste and materials derived from their range regardless if they assumed their chosen contractor would take care of it.
This is what is commonly known as: “Cradle (generating the hazardous waste) to Grave” (disposal of the hazardous waste)
For your protection, your lead reclamation contractor must have sufficient assets and environmental liability coverage to protect range ownership from claims or occurrences of violations, penalties and cleanup expenses due to contractor negligence…even if it is not intentional!
These points are critical because a contract indemnification from a BANKRUPT contractor is not worth the paper it’s written on. Why would they go bankrupt? Because of OSHA or EPA violations and fines that they could not pay or resulting from: Under capitalization, Shoddy regulatory compliance, Volatility of lead pricing or Under-bid projects.
When dealing with the environmental hazards of lead, you simply CANNOT assign the risk away. You always retain significant liability and risk for your waste.
