Dear Mr. Tarlton:
Ron Boone, of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR), Winston-Salem Regional Office
(WSRO), visited the Transmontaigne's Greensboro Piedmont Terminal and Southeast Terminal on
January 16th, 2020, to perform NPDES Compliance Evaluation Inspections (CEI). The assistance and
cooperation of Trey Rhodes, Terminal Manager, was greatly appreciated. Details of the inspections
are recorded on the attached EPA Water Compliance Inspection Reports.
You're reminded that, in accordance with NC General Statute 143-215.6A, failure to comply
with all conditions of the permit subjects the town to civil penalties not to exceed $25,000.00 per
violation, per day.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The TransMontaigne Southeast Terminal's stormwater control system has not changed since the last
inspection and still consists of the following:
-Truck loading -rack drains which are followed by a sump which pumps to the Petroleum Contact
Water (PCW) tank. The contents of the PCW tank are hauled off -site for disposal. The oil/water
separator following the sump is currently not used. If the sump pump fails, the contents would overflow
into the separator.
- Ethanol rail car off-loading area with lined ditches that flow to a lined stormwater containment pond
(approximately 130,000 gallons). Stormwater from the pond is routed by gravity through Outfall 001 via
a manually controlled locked value.
- Two secondary containment dikes for the AST's. Each dike has separate locked valves for
releasing accumulated stormwater, also through Outfall 001.
2018/2019 DMRs and laboratory records were reviewed and no discrepancies were noted.
Flow Measurement
The permit requires episodic flow monitoring. The stormwater from the ethanol containment pond and
both secondary containment areas flows by gravity through an inline totalizing meter prior to being
discharged. The totalizing meter is calibrated every year by City of Greensboro staff and appropriate
records are kept on file. Discharge records are kept annotating the date, time, source, and total volume
discharged for each discharge event.
Records/Reports
A review of the facility files showed that all records were being maintained as required by the permit.
Effluent/Receiving Waters
The discharge goes to a ditch just outside the perimeter fence and flows to a tributary of
East Fork Deep River, which is a class WS-IV* water in the Cape Fear River Basin. There was no
discharge the day of the inspection.
