NC0004839 I11 12, 20/02/13 117 18 JCJ Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) OPERATION & MAINTENANCE SECTION cont'd: Shamrock has been contracted to remove and dispose of the separated petroleum in the oil/water separator on an as -needed basis (approximately three to four times per year). The carbon in the filtration unit is replaced annually and Republic Services disposes of the spent carbon into a permitted landfill. Outfall 001 discharge is combined with the stormwater runoff from the driveways, etc. (via separate piping system) prior to entering the receiving stream. This final outfall is equipped with a hydrocarbon detection system that can shut down the discharge if a positive reading is detected.

Comment: Site arounds includina secondary containment structures (berms) were well maintained Facility staff perform both daily site inspections (including NPDES facilities) and monthly tests on the high water alarms for the oil/water separator. The stormwater runoff from the loading rack areas is conveyed through an oil/water separator, holding tank and carbon filtration. The accumulated stormwater in the secondary containment structure is visually inspected prior to being manually discharged (via pump system). The discharges from both the treatment system and secondary containment structure are combined prior to Outfall 001. See 'Summary" Section for additional comments. Flow Measurement - Effluent # Is flow meter used for reporting? Is flow meter calibrated annually? Is the flow meter operational? Yes No NA NE • ❑ ❑ ❑ • ❑ ❑ ❑ • ❑ ❑ ❑ Page# 4 Permit: NC0004839 Inspection Date: 02/13/2020 Flow Measurement - Effluent Owner - Facility: Charlotte Terminal 2 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation (If units are separated) Does the chart recorder match the flow meter? Yes No NA NE ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ Comment: The treatment system and secondary containment discharaes are indeoendently measured by in -line flow meters. The flows from both meters are added together to determine the total flow for Outfall 001. The flow meters are calibrated annually and new flow meters were installed for each discharge in May 2019 (2" flow meter) and October 2019 (Y flow meter). Effluent Pipe Yes No NA NE Is right of way to the outfall properly maintained? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ Are the receiving water free of foam other than trace amounts and other debris? ❑ ❑ ❑ If effluent (diffuser pipes are required) are they operating properly? ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Comment: The effluent discharge from Outfall 001 appeared clear with no petroleum sheens or odors.
