An updated plan was submitted to the Tyson Corporate Headquarters for approval in March 2010. Inspections of stormdrains, outfalls, storage tanks, containment releases, housekeeping, and hazardous waste storage are well documented. A blood tank collapsed on 114110. Approximately 80 gallons of material reached the creek at outfall SW101. The sudden release of a high volume of water overwhelmed the catch basin causing the discharge. The spill was reported by facility staff on 114110 per permit requirements (BiMs Incident No. 2010000141, NOV-2010-DV-0141).

Reason for Visit: Routine Comment: The stormwater in the area of the manufacturing facility is collected in a basin and pumped to the WWTP for treatment; therefore, monitoring of outfall SW101 is designated as "dry". SW301 collects stormwater from the boiler building area. Coal pile runoff enters a treatment system that collects the particulates and discharges the stormwater to a grassed area (sheet flow) before it reaches SW301.

Analytical monitoring was performed in September 2011 and May 2012. No stormwater benchmark levels were exceeded. Par Laboratories, Inc. (Certification #20) has been contracted to provide analytical support. The stormwater pH analyses are performed on -site and in accordance to Standard Methods, 18th-20th Editions. The facility's wastewater treatment plant laboratory has been certified (#5081) by the Division's Laboratory Certification Unit to perform on -site field analyses including pH. Permit and Oufalls # Is a copy of the Permit and the Certificate of Coverage available at the site? # Were all outfalls observed during the inspection? # If the facility has representative outfall status, is it properly documented by the Division? # Has the facility evaluated all illicit (non stormwater) discharges? Comment: The facility has designated three stormwater outfalls (SW101, SW301, SW401). No discharges were observed during the inspection. Outfalls SW101 and SW401 (recently designated) are equipped with pumping systems to convey the stormwater flows to the WWTP for final treatment. The facility maintains a cascade settling system and vegetated drainageway as BMPs at Outfall SW301. Outfalls SW101 and SW401 (manually activated) only discharge if the stormwater flows exceed the capacity of the pump systems and/or to prevent flooding conditions (SW401).

Outfall SW201 is connected to the WWTP and should be removed from the SPPP. Outfall SW101 only discharges during extreme rainfall events. The facility had installed a 200 gpm pump inside a catch basin (prior to this outfall pipe) to collect and pump all stormwater runoff to the WWTP. A clear effluent was observed discharging from Outfall SW301 due to a leaking water line (in the process of being repaired). In addition, coal residue was being collected and contained in the vegetated drainageway prior to this outfall discharge. The facility staff attempt to physically remove the coal residue from the concrete driveway to minimize any stormwater runoff. The facility staff must ensure the vegetated drainageway is properly maintained at all times (periodic removal of coal residue) to ensure the coal residue is not discharged into surface waters.
