There were no exceedances of benchmark values with the exception of one pH reading below 6 in the first half of 2018, which was analyzed by a contract lab outside the 15-minute hold time. Since that monitoring event, facility personnel began analyzing pH themselves using a calibrated pH meter located at the nearby Smithfield VVVVFP lab. Monitoring records for the first half of 2019 indicate no discharge. Facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) is complete and has been updated annually with supporting documentation related to facility inspections, employee training, non-stormwater certification, etc. After the records review, site observations were made of the facility's single stormwater discharge outfall, fueling island and AST's within secondary containment structure. Since the previous inspection, the multiple totes of liquid product that were previously located at the fueling island without secondary containment have been relocated to behind the maintenance building and placed within containment huts. All items of non-compliance as noted in the previous inspection report have been resolved and at the time of this inspection it was determined that the facility is compliant with the conditions of the NCG080000 permit.
