Inspection Summary:
Based upon the inspection conducted,the Daimler Trucks America Cleveland facility was compliant at the time of
inspection. Present during the inspection was Colin Buchanan,the facility engineer. All portions of the stormwater pollution
prevention plan (SWPPP)were present and up to date. Analytical and qualitative monitoring data was present and being
completed per permit requirements.While the SWPPP was compliant, the following was suggested during the inspection:
-Including a sheet noting the yearly reviews or updating the cover sheet of the SWPPP to reflect the date it was reviewed
may aid in the efficiency of future inspections
- Including names and contact information for the list of responsible parties may aid communication in emergencies or other
acute scenarios.
The facility is in tier three status for Zinc at outfall 1 and zinc and copper at outfall 2.A tier 3 response plan was sent in to
DEQ indicating they believed the benchmark exceedances of zinc and copper were coming from brake dust and other debris
in the loading docks and storage areas on the north side of the facility.Daimler Trucks outlined in the response plan they
planned to implement a program to sweep the facility every two weeks to prevent this dust from reaching the outfalls. If this
plan is noted to not significantly reduce the analytical results of copper and zinc, additional measures may be needed.
All outfalls on site were observed during the inspection. Stagnant water in ouffall 2 had a light blue tint.
