For the monthly sample monitoring period of September, a sample was not obtained for Outfall FV002. Several events attributed to not obtaining samples during the month of September; 1. The facility was in a transitional period with the personnel that had previously coordinated this sampling. The position was filled in early October and training has been conducted to ensure future coordination of the sampling is understood and planned. 2. The facility did not sample during the first measurable rain event on September 1St and though it rained on the 2nd and 3rd, this was within a 72-hour storm interval, so sampling was not conducted on either of those days. 3. The facility shut down for an annual welding shutdown from September 10th thru September 23rd. During this time, employee work schedules were altered to provide coverage 24 hours a day. The task of obtaining Stormwater samples during this time was overlooked when specific shutdown tasks were assigned. Therefore; samples were not obtained during the measurable storm events On September 19th, 20th , 21'&22nd The first of these days and then again unable to sample within the 72-hour storm interval. 4. The facility experienced a serious fire in a piece of operational equipment on September 27th. The Fire department used mass amounts of water to extinguish this fire and employees were working to prevent any product(soybean) contaminated water from discharging through the Stormwater outfall. Due to product being hung-up in the equipment, additional water was needed for the next several days to help "flush"product from the equipment. Due to the amount of water, and not all being from a natural rain, monitoring for Outfall FV002 was not conducted during this period with measurable rain events on the 27th, 28th, and 29th & 30. 5. Sampling resumed based on Permit requirements in October.
