A SPPP template from 1994 was available, but it had never been modified to reflect the conditions found at the subject facility. Qualitative monitoring has not been conducted at this facility since the permit was issued. This facility has two SW outfalls, but one main outfall appears to be representative of the activiites at this site. This outfall drains the majority of the fueling area and the fuel storage area, and also captures a significant amount of the SW water that passes through the site. The fuel storage is separated from a SW conveyance channel by an earthen berm, which acts as secondary containment. Installed in the berm is a pipe and valve that allows for the release of accumulated SW in the secondary containment area, There was no indication of excessive fuel spillages inside the secondary containment area nor evidence of oil staining in the adjacent SW conveyance channel. The onsite representative (Ms. Diane Suther) will be forwarded a link to the Division's web site where a template for preparing a SPPP can be downloaded.
