Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) On November 2nd, 2023, NC Division of Water Resources staff, Ron Boone, conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of NPDES permit NC0026247 for Transmontaigne Operating Company's Southeast Terminal, located at 6801 West Market Street in Greensboro, NC. Terminal Manager, Daryll Freeman, was present for the inspection. The inspection findings are detailed below. This facility consists of several independent containment areas that all drain and discharge to a common outfall 001. The containment areas are for the rail spur ethanol off loading area, two containment areas for the petroleum above ground storage tanks, and a containment area for the fuel truck loading rack. The fuel truck loading rack is covered and all petroleum contact water (PCW) is captured from the rack and goes to a PCW tank which is pumped off by environmental contractors periodically and taken elsewhere for proper disposal. The facility uses an inline meter for measuring the effluent flow. It is calibrated annually by City of Greensboro Water Resources Department. It is currently out for calibration and the city has provided a spare meter to Transmontaigne that they may install temporarily in the event that they must discharge while their regular meter is out for calibration. The facility uses SM&E and Pace Environmental for sample collection and analyses. Discharge monitoring and laboratory reports were reviewed. No errors were noted. All required records, including the chains of custody, were noted as correct and complete. Operators visitation logs were also complete. The entire facility appeared to be very clean and well maintained. Mr. Boone noted no concerns, discrepancies, or violations. Please contact Mr. Boone by phone at 336.776.9690 or by email at ron.boone@deq.nc.gov, if you have any questions or concerns.
