Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
TransMontaigne Selma Terminal
NPDES Permit No. NC0003549
Johnston County

Dear Mr. Tarlton:

On June 17, 2021, Jason Robinson of the NC Division of Water Resources Raleigh Regional Office
(RRO) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance provided
by Mr. Terry Murray – Terminal Manager, Sheila Johnsen – Environmental Specialist, Shawn Daye –
Director of Operations, and Lee Reid - Environmental Coordinator was appreciated.

1. The most recent permit became effective on December 1, 2018 and expires on March 31,
2023.

2. Flow is calculated using the rational method. Microbac Laboratories is used for lab analyses.
Lab results, chain-of-custody forms, and DMRs were complete and current, kept in good order
and ready for review. September 2020 and February 2021 eDMRs and lab bench sheets were
reviewed and no discrepancies were found.

3. There are two sites and two discharge points included in this permit. The sites and discharges
are on opposite sides of West Oak Street.

a. Outfall 003 discharges from the North Terminal into a ditch on southwest corner of the
site beside W Oak Street on the other side of the fence. This outfall receives flow from
the containment area of five above ground storage tanks and hydrostatic test water.
Standing water usually evaporates/infiltrates and therefore is not regularly discharged.
Water is usually only discharged before and/or after large rain events. Flow from the
loading area in this location is collected and hauled off site for treatment by Shamrock.

b. Outfall 002 discharges from the South Terminal into a ditch at the southwest corner of the
site on the other side of the fence. This outfall receives flow from the above ground
storage tank containment area, pump pad area, hydrostatic tank test water and the rail






  


car loading area. This flow goes into two lined lagoons, which was constructed to
accommodate the rail car expansion for delivery of jet fuel and ethanol. Most water
evaporates/infiltrates in the holding area and evaporates from the lined lagoon and
therefore is not discharged regularly. Water is typically only discharged before/after large
rain events. All water collected from the loading rack is collected in a holding tank and
shipped off-site for disposal by Shamrock

c. There were no discharges at either of the outfalls at the time of the inspection. Both
discharges are operated with manual valves. Standing water that was observed in the tank
containment area and in the lined lagoons appeared to be clear with no oily sheen at the
time of the inspection.

This facility was found to be compliant with NPDES permit conditions as a result of this inspection. If
you have any questions regarding the attached reports or any of the findings, please contact Jason
Robinson at [e-mail].

Sincerely,

Scott Vinson, Regional Supervisor
