NCO046892 111 121 18/07/11 1 17 18 JCJ Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) OPERATION & MAINTENANCE SECTION cont'd: The secondary containment dike for the oil -water separator holding tanks was observed to have two significant areas of separation, and other minor cracks and separations. This condition was also noted during inspections conducted in 2015 and 2016, and displacement of the concrete blocks appears to have increased since the previous inspections. Although there was no evidence of a discharge from the containment wall, the structure should be properly repaired to ensure adequate secondary containment is provided. Please be advised that the subject permit requires the permittee to properly operate and maintain the facility at all times [Permit Reference: Part II, Section C(2) Proper Operation and Maintenance]. Other than the secondary containment dike, the facility grounds were observed to be well kept and in good condition at the time of inspection.

The facility no longer operates equipment listed in the permit as being associated with groundwater remediation activities, including the oil / water separator, carbon filters and air stripper. An air sparging system, or in-situ air stripper, is currently active for ground water remediation efforts. Other elements of the facility are consistent with the description in the permit. Discharge from the facility includes stormwater that accumulates within the tank containment dike and surrounding areas. Record Keeping Are records kept and maintained as required by the permit?

Comment: The facilitv utilizes an oil -water separator for treatment of loadina rack water. which is then discharged to two holding tanks. Contents of the holding tanks are removed by STAT Environmental Services or HEPACO for offsite treatment and disposal. Facility personnel inspect the oil -water separator twice weekly for levels and maintenance needs. The facility ORC states that the contents of the oil -water separator and holding tanks are removed on an as -needed basis. See "Summary" Section for additional comments.
