The purpose of the Storm Water Management Plan is to identify site -specific sources of
storm water pollution based on the field assessment and to develop best management
practices to decrease and/or eliminate potential pollutant sources. The preferred
hierarchy of Best Management Practices (BMPs) is:
1 ) Source Reduction: includes preventive maintenance, spill prevention, chernical
substitution, housekeeping, and training.
2) Containment/Diversion: includes segregating activities of concern, cove, ringthe
activity, berming the activity, and diverting flow to a grassed area,
3) Recycling
4) Storm Water Treatment
These practices are applied in each area where there is a potential for storrnwater to
become contaminated by the industrial activity as described below-
7.1.1 Area 300
This is the cook area. This area is completely enclosed and not subject toweather
conditions. The BMPs applied are Source Reduction (preventive maintenance and
housekeeping), Containment, and Recycling. The area is permanently diked to capture
any spills or drips and a SUMP Pump discharges any leaks or spills back into the
process. Routine (weekly) inspection of the diked area insures that the systerns are
functioning properly. An inspection log is maintained for the area, and the mechanical
equipment is on a routine maintenance schedule maintained by the plant maintenance
supervisor.
7.1.2 Area 400
This area includes seven large fermenters that are designed to Lie operated outdoors
and subject to rainfall. In normal operation, there is no exposure Of Pollutants to rainfall,
but there is potential for any leaks, spills, or drips from the rnechanical eqUipn lent 10
become contaminated by runoff. The PIMP applied in this area is Source Reduction,
consisting of preventive maintenance, housekeeping, and weekly inspection, Anyspills,
leaks, or drips noted during inspection will be addressed promptly. An inspection loci is
maintained for the area. and the mechanical equipment is on a routine- maintenance
schedule maintained by the plant maintenance Supervisor
7.1.3 Area 600
This area contains the distillation equipment for the operation The BMPs applied in this
area include Source Reduction consisting of ii ispectioi i, preventive maintenance. a, nd

to discharge the water from the containment area to the, plant stormwater dra-Inage,
system by manually pumping the captured stormwater to the ad) a cent storniwater

drainage ditch. Prior to any such discharge the stormwater is visually nispectedand
tested in the plant laboratory for COD and TISS to verify that it is notcon"Laminated
fiffz�-TWMWM
This area has tanks, pumps, and piping which are designed to be operated outdoors
exposed to the weather, The BMPs used to reduce the potential for the discharge of
pollutants in stormwater are good maintenance practices and routine weekly inspection,
of the area. The plant maintenance program has a schedule for preventive maintenance
of the equipment that meets manufacturers recommendations,
7.1.5 Area 800
This area contains the ethanol tanks and the storage tank for natural gasolinethe
denaturant. These tanks are inside a large containment area designed to provide the
proper containment volume for the tanks and a 1 00-year storm, These tanks are outside
and exposed to the weather, the product cannot corne into contact with thestormwater.
The drain valve to this area is always closed and locked. As the conta! n me tit becomes
filled with rainwater the water is sampled and analyzed, and is released if it if found to be
uncontaminated. After the water is released, the valve is again closed and locked. This
activity is documented on the inspection log form, This area is visually inspected
weekly. Adjacent to the storage area is a truck loading/Unloading area wheredenaturant
is unloaded to the storage tanks and product is loaded to trucks for shipment. Thisarea
can handle, two trucks at once. The floor is of the area is conorpte. and slopes to astimp
This sump is sealed and would be pumped out by a portable pump in the event of a -spill,
The BMPs used for this area are good housekeeping and operational controls toprovent
spills or discharges. The standard operating procedure for truck loading or unloading is
attached for reference. The area is inspected weekly.
7.1.6 Area 900
Area 900 is the DDGS drying and storage area. The BMPs Used in this area are
containment, recycling, and good housekeeping. In normal operation, there is no
potential for exposure of any product or raw material to stormwater, in the event of S-
process upset, the partially finished product, DDGS, is stored oil a pad that is exposed
to rainfall. The material is contained by the construction of the pad and all oroduetplus,
any rainfall that may accumulate on the pad is returned to the process with no discharge
to the stormwater system.
7.1.7 Area 1000
This is the chemical storage area for the process. The chemicals are stored inside, Out
of the weather with the exception of some tank storage The HMP's chosen for this area
are Source Reduction through containment around the tanks and Good HOUseke eplog.
This area is inspected weekly.
7.2.1 Sediment and Erosion Control
I he topography of the facility and surrounding land Includes Rtle relief, f esUltmp III
relatively sluggish water movement in most areas. No significant erosion or
sedimentation problem areas have been identified at the facility. The enbro. proces-sing
area drains to the existing stormwater detention porid. The existing storrilwate r
detention pond is adequately sized to contain a 10 year and 25 year storm and release
the water at the required rates.
