Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
On June 7, 2022, MRO-DWR staff performed a Compliance Inspection of the groundwater
remediation system at Schneider Trucking under permit NCG510513. MRO staff met with James
Welton and Matt Brundage of S&ME.
During the site visit, MRO staff also met with Gary Lord and John Medina of Schneider Trucking.
During the site visit, MRO staff requested that reports being sent to DWM for the treatment system be
copied to DWR. This information will be helpful for DWR staff in maintaining a record of the effluent
data from the treatment system.
The system is currently using 12 of the 24 RWs for the treatment system. The RWs not being used
are in areas where product remediation has been completed and S&ME has received permission
from DWM to take the wells in the cleaned areas offline.
The system has two activated carbon vessels providing primary treatment of the GW. The site plume
has reduced and the system appears to be effectively performing its' function. This is evident by the
low values being reported in the laboratory analytical data. Information on the extent of the GW
contamination is provided in the Corrective Action Performance Report of 12-2021. The impacted
area has been reduced from 8,200 sq. ft in March/April 2021 to 6,400 sq. ft. in December of 2021.
MRO staff also requested information regarding Waste Manifests for spent Carbon and records for
the collection of the fluid from the oil and water separator and free product collection tank.
Bacteria growth continues to be present in the wells and is being collected in the treatment system.
The bacteria tend to clog the bag filters requiring more frequent changing of the bag filters. The
MRO has suggested trying some treatment to kill the bacteria. However, approval for this treatment
has to be approved by DWM.
The system has an alarm. However, the alarm is visual only and is not connected to any SCADA
notification system. The contractor is completely reliant on staff working and the trucking facility to
notify them if the visual alarm is on. Contact from the facility is by telephone call to the system
operator.
