Discharae Monitoring Reports (eDMRs) were reviewed for the period September 2019 through Octobel 2020. No effluent limit violations were reported and all monitoring frequencies were correct. The ORC and staff must ensure that the times for effluent sampling (at outfall), preservation (transported samples put on ice) and sample relinquishment are properly documented. Please note that all effluent samples must be preserved (chemically, on ice, etc.) within 15-minutes of sample collection (Reference: 40 CFR 136.3 Table II). In addition, the ORC and staff must ensure to report all future effluent total recoverable phenols down to the contracted lab's reporting limit (40 uq/L) and not the method detection limit (8.3 ug/L). The contracted lab should be contacted to obtain a lower reporting limit (5 uq/L) for this parameter. Laboratory Are field parameters performed by certified personnel or laboratory? Are all other parameters(excluding field parameters) performed by a certified lab? # Is the facility using a contract lab? # Is proper temperature set for sample storage (kept at less than or equal to 6.0 degrees Celsius)? Incubator (Fecal Coliform) set to 44.5 degrees Celsius+/- 0.2 degrees? Incubator (BOD) set to 20.0 degrees Celsius +/- 1.0 degrees?

Comment: The subject permit requires effluent grab samples Operations & Maintenance Yes No NA NE Is the plant generally clean with acceptable housekeeping? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ Does the facility analyze process control parameters, for ex: MLSS, MCRT, Settleable ❑ ❑ ❑ Solids, pH, DO, Sludge Judge, and other that are applicable? Page# 4 Permit: NCO021962 Owner -Facility: Charlotte Terminal Inspection Date: 12/15/2020 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Operations & Maintenance Yes No NA NE Comment: NPDES facilities appeared to be properly operated and well maintained. The secondary containment dikes and valves, storage tanks, etc. are inspected daily (minimum) during all business days. Any water (stormwater runoff, wash down water, etc.) from the truck loading rack is collected and pumped into a storage tank for off -site disposal. Zebra Environmental & Industrial Services has been contracted for the removal and disposal (approximately 2-3 times per year) of the storage tank contents. Although no effluent total suspended solids and turbidity violations have been reported, this Office recommends the facility staff to apply a gravel/rock cover to the small areas of exposed dirt observed within the secondary containment structure. 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? ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ (If units are separated) Does the chart recorder match the flow meter? ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Comment: Effluent flows are based on a previously determined instantaneous flow rate and duration of discharge. The facility staff should re -verify the flow rate to ensure accurate flow values are being measured/reported. 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 facility was not discharging at the time of the inspection. The manually operated discharge valve was secured with a lock. The accumulated water inside the dike (near the discharge outfall) appeared clear with no petroleum sheens. Page# 5
