Comment: The facilitv's current Dermit became effective on 10/1/2015 and exDires on 6/30/2020. The
last inspection of this facility was conducted by the Mecklenburg County Water Quality
Program on 8/29/2016.
The facility is as described in the permit, with treatment units that include diked areas for
aboveground storage tanks, an oil/water separator for flow generated at the loading -rack, a
manually operated discharge valve at Outfall #006, a secondary containment area equipped
with an automated valve for ethanol offloading, and a groundwater remediation system. The
oil -water separator listed as being associated with the groundwater remediation system is
no longer active.
Discharge at Outfall #006 includes stormwater collected in the dike containment area and
separated water from the oil -water separator. Outfall #007 is not currently active, and flow
generated from groundwater remediation activities is hauled offsite for treatment and
disposal.
Record Keeping
Are records kept and maintained as required by the permit?
Is all required information readily available, complete and current?
Are all records maintained for 3 years (lab. reg. required 5 years)?
Are analytical results consistent with data reported on DMRs?
Is the chain -of -custody complete?
Dates, times and location of sampling
Name of individual performing the sampling
Results of analysis and calibration
Dates of analysis
Name of person performing analyses
Transported CDCs
Are DMRs complete: do they include all permit parameters?
Has the facility submitted its annual compliance report to users and DWQ?
(If the facility is = or > 5 MGD permitted flow) Do they operate 24/7 with a certified operator
on each shift?
Is the ORC visitation log available and current?
Is the ORC certified at grade equal to or higher than the facility classification?
