Comment: NPDES facilities appeared to be properly operated and well maintained. The secondary containment dikes and valves are inspected daily and the product recovery in the oil/water separator (SPCC tank) is checked twice per week. The recovered petroleum (oil/water separator) is either reused on -site or removed by Hepaco and disposed at the Heritage -Crystal Clean facility located in Concord, N.C. Groundwater is pumped through two carbon tanks (operated in series) for the reduction of manganese prior to discharging into the dike structure. The accumulated water in the dike is conveyed into a retention pond prior to being discharged (via manually operated valve) through the discharge outfall. Flow Measurement - Effluent Yes No NA NE # Is flow meter used for reporting? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ Is flow meter calibrated annually? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ Is the flow meter operational? M ❑ ❑ ❑ (If units are separated) Does the chart recorder match the flow meter? ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Comment: The calibrated in -line flow meter was placed into operation on 6/16/2020. The facili contracts Sparling Instruments, LLC. to calibrate the flow meters annually. 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? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ If effluent (diffuser pipes are required) are they operating properly? ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Comment: The facility was not discharging at the time of the inspection. The manually operated discharge valve was secured with lock and chain. The accumulated water inside the dike appeared clear with no petroleum sheens. Page# 5
