This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in-office file review and an on-site inspection of the treatment facility. The attached EPA inspection form notes the areas that were evaluated for this inspection. The findings and observations are outlined below: I. Permit The NPDES permit became effective January 1, 2017 and expires August 31, 2021. The facility had.a copy of the current permit available during the inspection. The treatment structures seen during the inspection match those listed in the permit. • II. Self-Monitoring Program A review of the monthly discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) for the period July 2017 through June 2018 showed that the facility complied with all permit limits. Regarding the permit monitoring requirements, it was noted that all sampling was performed per the frequencies specified in the permit. All laboratory analysis is performed by Research & Analytical Laboratories, Inc. except Acute Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing, which is performed by Environmental Testing Solutions, Inc. Mr.Witten collects the monthly and/or quarterly grab samples, and a representative from the laboratory picks them up at the site. Ill. Records/Reports Mr. Witten fills out a Retention Pond Draining Report for every discharge event. Chain of custody forms and lab data sheets are in good order. All the required monitoring was D Q North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources Winston-Salem Regional Office 1450 W.Hanes Mill Road,Suite 300 I Winston-Salem,North Carolina 27105 336-776-9800 r i Motive Enterprises,LLC—Greensboro Terminal,August 14,2018 performed per the frequencies specified in the NPDES permit. Ms. Graznak noted no data transcription discrepancies from lab sheets to DMRs in her documentation review. IV. Flow Measurement The permit requires episodic flow monitoring. Flow is measured using a totalizing flow meter on the effluent pipe. The discharge is controlled manually by a locked release valve. The flow meter was calibrated on December 4, 2017. Flow is recorded on the Retention Pond Draining Report. V. Operations and Maintenance The facility appeared to be well operated and maintained. No issues were noted during the inspection. VI. Facility Site Review The truck loading area drains to a concrete holding pit and then is pumped to an 8,000- gallon above ground storage tank with a hydrocarbon detector. If no hydrocarbon is detected, the water is transferred to the secondary containment area surrounding the aboveground storage tanks. From there, it drains to the settling pond. VII. Effluent/Receivinq Waters The system discharges to a rip rap lined ditch just outside of the perimeter fence. The effluent eventually reaches an unnamed tributary of Long Branch, class Water Supply IV Waters in the Cape Fear River Basin. No effluent was being discharged on the day of the inspection. If you have any questions regarding the inspection or this report, please contact Jenny Graznak or me at (336) 776-9800. • Sincerely, Sherri V. Knight, P.E.
