Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
On September 7, 2017 Edward Watson of the MRO conducted a compliance evaluation inspection for
NPDES permit NGC510542 at the Plantation Pipeline facility in Gastonia, N.C.
During the inspection, MRO staff observed the installation of piping for and Air Spargre System that is
permitted under W10300342. Photos of the trench and line are in the electronic file.
The treatment trailer is equiped with a SCADA system that is connected to the ORC's cell phone. The
SCADA system will alert the ORC of system failures. The system will allow the ORC to re -set certain
alarms without having to visit the site.
The MRO has requested a copy of the spent Activated Carbon Manifests to be submitted via email as
part of record keeping and suggests that a copy of the waste manifest be kept on site as part of the
regular O&M records. MDS files were also present and available for review.
Calibration records for the Flow meter at the effluent discharge were observed to be up to date and the
calibration date was clearly marked next to the flow meter.
Laboratory records were reviewed. Laboratory records indicate the treatment system is being effective
at reducing BTEX and MTBE.
There is only one outfall for this facility. During the site visit, the outfall was observed the be free of
solids . foam and odors.
The MRO also viewed RW-1 well. A note was made to cover the exposed wire observed at the well
head. MRO also requested that the other RWs be checked for any exposed wiring and have those
wires covered.
Overall, the site was found to compliant with the permit.
