RE: Cargill,Incorporated,Fayetteville,NC—Stormwater Discharge Permitga
September 2016 Monitoring-Analytical Results
In accordance with the Cargill,Fayetteville facility's Stormwater Discharge Permit
NCG060000,Part III, Section B,Cargill is required to perform monthly monitoring in
accordance with the Tiered program for Outfall FV-002.
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.
I certify,under penalty of law,that this document and all attachments were prepared under my
direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified
personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted.Based on my inquiry of the
person or persons who manage the system,or those persons directly responsible for gathering
the information,the information submitted is,to the best of my knowledge and belief,true,
accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false
information,including the possibility of fines and imprisonment for knowing violations.
