Page# NPDES yr/mo/day Inspection Type (Cont.) NCO026247 I11 121 20/01/16 117 18 JCJ Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) The TransMontaigne Southeast Terminal's stormwater control system has not changed since the last inspection and still consists of the following: -Truck loading -rack drains which are followed by a sump which pumps to the Petroleum Contact Water (PCW) tank. The contents of the PCW tank are hauled off -site for disposal. The oil/water separator following the sump is currently not used. If the sump pump fails, the contents would overflow into the separator. - Ethanol rail car off-loading area with lined ditches that flow to a lined stormwater containment pond (approximately 130,000 gallons). Stormwater from the pond is routed by gravity through Outfall 001 via a manually controlled locked value. - Two secondary containment dikes for the AST's. Each dike has separate locked valves for releasing accumulated stormwater, also through Outfall 001. 2018/2019 DMRs and laboratory records were reviewed and no discrepancies were noted. Flow Measurement The permit requires episodic flow monitoring. The stormwater from the ethanol containment pond and both secondary containment areas flows by gravity through an inline totalizing meter prior to being discharged. The totalizing meter is calibrated every year by City of Greensboro staff and appropriate records are kept on file. Discharge records are kept annotating the date, time, source, and total volume discharged for each discharge event. Records/Reports A review of the facility files showed that all records were being maintained as required by the permit. Effluent/Receiving Waters The discharge goes to a ditch just outside the perimeter fence and flows to a tributary of East Fork Deep River, which is a class WS-IV* water in the Cape Fear River Basin. There was no discharge the day of the inspection.
