Inspection Summary:
Inspection was inresponse to the seperation of stormwater from the NPDES wastewater permit.
A very detailed summary of each drainage area was provided in the facility SWPPP. All industrial activities observed onsite
correlated with the descriptions in the SWPPP. Materials, waste, chemical storage, etc. descriptions were provided in the
application. The areas observed during the inspection appeared to correlate with these summaries as well.
Currently the facility does not perform analytical monitoring of the stormwater outfalls. The facility has had representative
outfall status under the combined permit. Only two outfalls, Outfalls 3 and 6, have been sampled in the past. Composite
sampling equipment is set up at both of the outfalls.
The majority of the exterior of the site was observed during the inspection. All accesible stormwater outfalls were viewed as
well.
In drainage areas 8 and 9 there is a laydown and storage area. Metal piping, sand and gravel, pallets, crushed stone and a
few empty tanks were observed in this area. The tanks were reported to be cleaned out by Shamrock Environmental. An old
generator is stored in this area and was reported to be removed from the site soon.
A second laydown area was observed in drainage areas 1 ad 2. Other materials in the laydown included metal replacement
parts and other pieces. There was a small wash bay located in this area. An old container labeled as "Klaraid CPPI 301"
has been re -purposed and is used to hold water for the wash bay. Dumpsters with household waste and one paint can were
observed in this area. Other dumpsters contained metal materials as well. This area is also used to store equipment.
A chemical storage building was observed as well.
The firing range was inspected for potential contamination to stormwater. The firing range is birmed on three sides and
runnoff is expected to drain internally. The firing range facility has an underground domestic treatment area that handles
bathroom and kitchen wastes. The area also houses a single mineral oil transformer. The area is not expected to cause
significant stormwater contamination. Stormwater sheetflows from the parking area towards a canal that is an inlet to the
site. Water flowing from the canal is treated in the facilities onsite wastewater treatment plant
A few good housekeeping practices in the laydown, chemical and equipment storage areas were discussed onsite. Overall,
no serious issues were identified during the inspection.
