1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Northern Environmental Technologies, Incorporated (Northern Environmental) prepared this Storm-Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) at the request of Aeropres Corporation (Aeropres). This work was completed in order for the facility to comply with its General National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit and Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) requirements. This SWPPP addresses the Aeropres facility at 100 South Park Road, Manhattan, Illinois (the Property). The Property is covered under a General NPDES permit issued by the IEPA, Division of Water Pollution Control. The General NPDES Permit expires on April 30, 2014 and does not require Aeropres to sample and/or analyze storm-water discharge at the Property. On April 7, 2009, Northern Environmental inspected the Property in order to obtain the information necessary for preparing the SWPPP. This plan fulfills the General NPDES Permit requirements and provides information regarding the following items.

▲ Regulatory background and compliance ▲ Site drainage patterns ▲ Potential storm water contaminants ▲ Non-storm-water discharges ▲ Actions required for regulatory compliance ▲ Reporting, amendment, and record retention requirements

Aeropres’ existing storm-water management practices were studied. These practices were reviewed for effectiveness, and when necessary or desirable, new best management practices were proposed. In addition, the General NPDES Permit requires certification signatures to indicate commitment and support to the SWPPP, to certify that all non-storm-water discharges have been identified and have been eliminated, and to verify that the required site inspections have been completed. Signature pages and blank inspection forms are included in this SWPPP.

2.0 REGULATORY BACKGROUND AND PERMIT COMPLIANCE The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), Division of Water Pollution Control, issues storm-water permits to industrial facilities in Illinois that may potentially have contaminants that could come into contact with storm-water run off. The IEPA covers facilities under a General National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit based on its Standard Industrial Classification Code(s) and activities conducted at the facility. Facilities that have been issued a General NPDES storm-water permit are required to develop a storm-water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) for their facility. This SWPPP provides the information and guidance needed for the owners and employees of Aeropres Corporation (Aeropres) to comply with the permit requirements for storm-water discharges associated with industrial activity. The IEPA includes Aeropres under the General NPDES permit requirements. Northern Environmental prepared this SWPPP in cooperation with Aeropres management and employees. The methods used to complete this plan are included in Appendix A. A copy of Aeropres’ General NPDES permit is provided in Appendix B. 2.1 Regulatory Background The 1972 Federal Water Pollution Control Act (the “Clean Water Act” [CWA]) prohibits point source discharge of any pollutant to United States waters unless authorized by a NPDES permit. As a result of this legislation, the federal government, through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), directed and defined a national program for water pollution control. Since the CWA was passed, efforts to improve water quality primarily focused on reducing pollutants in industrial process wastewater discharges and from municipal sewage treatment plants. Previous efforts addressing storm water discharges through the NPDES program have generally been limited to certain industrial categories, using effluent limitations as a general permit condition. Recognizing the need for more comprehensive storm-water discharge controls, the 1987 Congress amended the CWA requiring the EPA to establish NPDES requirements for storm-water discharges associated with industrial and construction sites. In response to these amendments, the EPA published the storm-water rule on November 16, 1990. In this rule, the EPA established the initial scope of the storm-water program by mandating that facilities falling under eleven industrial categories must obtain permits for “storm water discharge associated with industrial activity.” As an NPDES delegated state, the Illinois EPA (IEPA) has the authority to issue general permits for discharging storm water to state waters. The General NPDES Permit requires regulated industries to prepare and implement a SWPPP. In addition, facilities that are required to file Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) Form R Reports must implement best management practices (BMPs) to prevent storm-water contamination by SARA Title III (or Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act [EPCRA]) Section 313 water priority chemicals. These facilities are also required to inform the IEPA when, and if, these chemicals could potentially enter storm water. Completing a SWPPP satisfies both the IEPA and EPA requirements. 2.2 General NPDES Permit Compliance Requirements for a SWPPP Facilities that are covered under a General NPDES permit from the IEPA must meet the general requirements listed below for a SWPPP:

▲ Develop a pollution prevention team and assign specific responsibilities to each member. ▲ Develop a SWPPP that includes a statement and signature certifying the company’s commitment

and support for the SWPPP and that non-storm-water discharges have been eliminated. ▲ Complete a SWPPP Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation no less than once a year.


3

▲ Visually monitor and document each storm-water outfall periodically. ▲ Qualified plant personnel shall be identified to inspect designated equipment and plant areas. ▲ Visually monitor and document each storm-water outfall during dry weather conditions at least

once every 6 months. ▲ The plan should briefly describe elements of other program requirements, including spill

prevention control and countermeasures under Section 311 of the CWA and BMPs under 40 CFR 125.100.

▲ Document all spills that could potentially enter storm water. ▲ Revise the SWPPP whenever facility changes may affect storm-water runoff. ▲ Train and inform all employees of the goals and requirements of their SWPPP. ▲ Develop a preventive maintenance schedule for storm-water management practices (if

applicable).

3.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION 3.1 History, Operation, and General Layout Aeropres occupies an irregularly shaped parcel encompassing 12.03 acres at 100 South Park Road (aka 26060 South Route 52), Manhattan, Illinois (the Property). Aeropres has been in operation at the Property since 1974. The Property location and area topography is shown in Figure 1. A 1.5-story metal- and wood-frame building with metal siding is used for offices and a former repair shop in the northern portion of the Property. A fenced area containing drums of used molecular sieve pellets is near the far north property boundary. A small 1-story cinder block building in the central portion of the Property houses the quality control system. There is a 500-gallon diesel fuel aboveground storage tank (AST) situated on an elevated concrete pad located in the southern portion of the Property. A railroad spur is located in the northwestern portion of the Property. The majority of the Property is gravel-covered, with some paved and grass-covered areas. The site features are shown in Figure 2. The surrounding properties (see Figure 4) are as follows.

Direction Adjacent Properties Northwest: Vacant; then residential West: Agricultural; then BP bulk fuel storage

facility Southwest: Agricultural South: Commercial Southeast: Agricultural East: Agricultural Northeast: Agricultural; then commercial

Aeropres has conducted its liquid petroleum gas (LPG) transfer and blending operations at the Property since 1974. Aeropres operates year round, 5 days a week, roughly between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Various LPGs (propane, isobutene, normal butane, difluoroethane, dimethyl ether, and pentane) are all delivered to the Property via rail car. The gases are transferred to permanent tank vessels on the Property. Blending of the gases to customer specifications takes place in trailer vessels and the gas blends are then transported to the customers. 3.2 Storm Water Drainage Patterns The local topography is generally flat but gently sloped towards the southeast; there is a 15-foot drop in elevation from the far northwest corner of the Property to the southernmost corner of the Property (Figure 3).

The railroad spur in the northwestern portion of the Property is slightly elevated. There are several small high-elevation areas in the southwestern portion of the Property that correspond to gravel piles or other grading changes. In general, the Property is gently sloped towards the western property boundary with additional low areas in the southwestern and southeastern portions of the Property. According to the Village of Manhattan Public Works Department, there are no village-owned permanent storm-water conveyance structures serving the Property or surrounding area. Therefore, the storm-water flow at the Property is expected to follow the surface topography. Several open polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes were noted within the berm of the railroad spur. It appears that these pipes may provide flood relief should a major storm event occur. The pipes would prevent the railroad spur from being under water, and ultimately direct storm water towards the western property boundary. Additionally, a large drainage culvert was noted running underneath the entrance drive approximately where the drive bends and heads northwest. 3.3 Inventory of Exposed Materials Many substances are potential storm-water pollutants. These substances include raw materials, fuels, manufacturing by-products, solvents, detergents, plastic pellets and related materials, finished materials, hazardous substances, SARA Title III Section 313 chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, and waste products. When these substances are exposed to storm water, they may be carried in runoff to a receiving surface water body or groundwater. Therefore, identifying these materials helps determine where potential contaminant sources exist and is the first step in developing appropriate BMPs. At the time of the site inspection, the permanent tank vessels at the Property had the following LPG contents.

Tank # Size (in gallons of water capacity)

Product Code Product Description

1 30,000 A31 Isobutane 2 30,000 A31 Isobutane 3 30,000 A17 Normal Butane 4 30,000 A17 Normal Butane 5 18,500 A108 Propane 6 18,500 A108 Propane 7 18,500 A108 Propane 8 18,500 A108 Propane 9 6000 Recovery LP Gas Mixture 10 6000 Recovery LP Gas Mixture 11 6000 Recovery LP Gas Mixture 12 12,000 Dibble RS108 Propane 13 25,000 R108 Propane 14 25,000 R108 Propane 15 25,000 R108 Propane

Track 1, Tank #173 8100 DME Dimethyl Ether Track 1, Tank #17 15,350 D152 Difluoroethane

The tank vessels are presumed to be constructed of carbon steel. Product is transferred in and out of the vessels through pressurized hoses. A 500-gallon diesel fuel AST is located at the south end of the Property north of the grass-covered area. The AST is situated on an elevated concrete pad, and serviced by Gas City. The AST is constructed of double-wall steel and no additional containment devices were noted. No staining was present on the concrete pad. A fenced area in the northern portion of the Property contains storage of drums of used molecular sieve pellets.

3.4 History of Significant Leaks or Spills There are no known spills from the LPG tank vessels or the diesel fuel AST. During 1992, there was a release from a diesel fuel underground storage tank located north of the office/shop building, and cleanup activities were conducted during the 1992 UST removal. A No Further Remediation letter was issued by the IEPA for the release during 1992. 3.5 Summary of Existing Sampling Data and Observations Pursuant to General NPDES Permit requirements, Aeropres’ Manhattan, Illinois facility is not required to monitor or sample the storm-water effluent from the facility. Therefore, no analytical data is available or required. During the April 7, 2009 inspection of the Property, no storm-water flow was observed. Some standing water was observed west of the railroad spur and in the southern grass-covered areas of the Property. Based on visual observation, the water appeared to be free of particulates, surface sheens, or other obvious pollutants. 3.6 Non-Storm-Water Discharge Non-storm water is any water that is not precipitation. Examples include process water, non-contact cooling water, and sanitary wastewater. When non-storm water enters a storm-water collection system, it often becomes a significant source of pollution to receiving water. The following non-storm-water discharges are typically allowed.

▲ Fire hydrant flushing ▲ Air conditioning condensate ▲ Landscape irrigation ▲ Discharge of uncontaminated groundwater ▲ Foundation or footing drains

During the April 7, 2009 site inspection, no non-storm-water discharges were observed. 3.7 Risk Identification and Summary of Potential Pollutant Sources Potential storm-water pollutant sources were identified while inspecting the site. These potential sources include the following items.

▲ Fuel drips and spills from employee vehicles ▲ Soil erosion ▲ Particulates from unpaved (gravel) surfaces ▲ Used molecular sieve pellet storage ▲ LPG tank vessels ▲ Diesel fuel AST

Appendix C lists SARA Title III or EPCRA Section 313, water priority chemicals. Facilities that are required to report these chemicals must implement source control or treatment BMPs (see Subsection 5.2 and Subsection 5.4) if Section 313 water priority chemicals have the potential to enter storm water. These facilities are also required to report to the IEPA when and if these chemicals could potentially enter storm water. The following Section 313 water priority chemicals are stored outside at the Property or have the potential to enter storm water.

▲ None

4.0 SOURCE AREA CONTROL AND BMPS One of the primary purposes of this SWPPP is to address those areas of the Property where potential sources of storm-water pollution can be prevented or eliminated through the implementation of corrective actions and BMPs. BMPs include maintenance procedures, operating procedures, prohibitions of practices, schedules of activities, and other management practices to prevent or reduce pollution. Also included are practices to control facility runoff, spillage, leakage, waste disposal, or drainage from raw material storage areas. 4.1 Potential Pollutant Sources The potential pollutant sources for the Property are identified in Subsections 3.6 and 3.7. 4.2 Existing Management Practices Storm-water pollution at the Property is controlled or prevented using the following management practices.

▲ Quarterly, semiannual, and annual facility site inspections are conducted as outlined in Section 5.0 of this SWPPP. Inspection records are retained for a period of at least 5 years.

▲ Periodic inspections of the diesel fuel AST. ▲ All tank vessels on the Property are maintained at pressures required to maintain the integrity of

their contents. If the pressure in a vessel gets too high, the excess pressure will be released through a flare located in the southern portion of the Property. If a vessel were to leak, the boiling points of the products (roughly 40 degrees) would ensure almost immediate vaporization.

4.3 Proposed Management Practices and Source Area Control BMPs Northern Environmental recommends that Aeropres adopt the following site-specific BMPs to minimize potential pollutants from entering storm water..

▲ Continue using existing management practices. ▲ Train employees on methods used to minimize or eliminate storm-water pollution. ▲ Due to the large areas of gravel cover and potential for soil and particulates to erode and enter

into the storm water, the gravel-covered areas of the Property should be periodically inspected to ensure that the gravel has not been worn or washed away and that the cover is of even thickness to adequately cover the soil below.

▲ Periodically inspect tank vessels and diesel fuel AST for integrity, leakage, and/or spills. ▲ Clear the fenced area of all stored used molecular sieve pellets.

4.4 Pollutants Likely to Contaminate Storm Water after Source-Area Control BMPs are Implemented Source-area control BMPs can be extremely effective in reducing pollutants in storm water. However, BMP implementation does not eliminate all possibilities of pollutants from entering storm water. Unavoidable sources of pollution include:

▲ Fuel and/or grease drips from employee vehicles and delivery trucks. ▲ Particulates from unpaved surfaces.

These sources should be minimized to the extent practicable. The effect of these sources will be monitored by the quarterly, semiannual, and annual site inspections.


7

4.5 Sediment and Erosion Control As stated in Subsection 4.4, sediment and/or particulates from unpaved surfaces should be carefully monitored to minimize their effect on storm water at the Property. Soil erosion was not observed at the Property and is unlikely as no bare soil was observed. All visible soil was well covered with grass or other vegetation; however, snow cover on the day of inspection may have obstructed visible soil erosion. 4.6 Runoff Management As discussed in Subsection 3.2, several open PVC pipes were noted within the berm of the railroad spur. It appears that these pipes may provide flood relief, should a major storm event occur. The pipes would prevent the railroad spur from being under water and ultimately direct storm water towards the western property boundary. Additionally, a large drainage culvert was noted running underneath the entrance drive, approximately where the drive bends and heads northwest. Some standing water was present on the day of inspection, but runoff from the Property was not noted. 4.7 Certification of Non-Storm-Water Discharges No non-storm-water discharges were observed at the Property during the site visit, nor are there any centralized storm-water outfalls or discharge points from the Property; therefore, the certification required by E(7) of the IEPA General NPDES Permit was not feasible. However, inspections of the Property as part of a regular inspection plan should make it possible to identify non-storm-water discharges in the event they occur. Potential non-storm-water discharges that may occur at the Site include those listed in Subsection 3.6 of this SWPPP.

5.0 MEASURES AND CONTROLS REQUIRED TO ENSURE REGULATORY COMPLIANCE Completion (or revisions as necessary) of the following work will enable Aeropres to comply with requirements of the General NPDES Permit and this SWPPP. 5.1 Pollution Prevention Team Aeropres has assembled a pollution prevention team and will maintain a list of current team members. The list includes the names, responsibilities, and telephone numbers of each member. The list will be updated annually, or whenever team personnel change. Initial pollution prevention team members are listed in Appendix D. This list will be posted in the facility building to inform employees of who is responsible for storm-water management. 5.2 Certification Signatures Appropriate Aeropres personnel must sign the following certification statements in this SWPPP.

▲ Aeropres must certify its SWPPP. A certification statement with a signature blank is found in Subsection 7.1 of this SWPPP.

▲ Aeropres must certify that non-storm-water discharges have been eliminated or are covered under a General NPDES Permit. A certification statement with a signature blank is found in Subsection 7.2 of this SWPPP.

These certifications have been signed by a principal executive officer of at least the level of vice president or by an authorized representative responsible for overall site operation.

5.3 Quarterly Visual Storm-Water Inspections Because there are no centralized outfalls or storm-water discharge points for the Property’s storm water, the Aeropres inspection program will consist of inspection of all property boundaries, piping structures, and drainage culverts, as well as any areas of standing water, at least once every 3 months. Each inspection must be conducted within the first 30 minutes or as soon thereafter as practical, but not to exceed 60 minutes, after storm water appears in the drainage culvert underlying the entrance driveway. Winter inspections shall be of snow or re-melt. The inspections shall be documented and include observations of color, odor, turbidity, floating solids, foam, oil sheen, or other obvious indicators of storm-water pollution. A blank Quarterly Site Inspection form is provided in Appendix E. The inspection form describes the inspection location. Completed copies of these inspection forms shall be retained in Appendix F. 5.4 Semi-Annual Dry Weather Inspection Because there are no centralized outfalls or storm-water discharge points for the Property storm water, Aeropres’ inspection program will consist of inspection of all property boundaries, piping structures, and drainage culverts, at least twice a year. Observations shall be made at times when non-storm-water discharges from the facility are considered most likely to occur (i.e., periods of dry weather during normal working hours). Stains, sludge, color, odor, or other indications of a non-storm-water discharge shall be recorded on the Non-Storm-Water Discharge Assessment and Certification form provided in Appendix E. A certification statement on each inspection form must be signed by a representative of the Property indicating that the information on the form is accurate and complete. Completed copies of these inspection forms shall be retained in Appendix G. 5.5 Annual Facility Site Compliance Inspection Aeropres must perform a comprehensive annual facility site compliance inspection at the Property at least once per year. These inspections will verify that the site drainage conditions and potential pollutant sources identified in the SWPPP remain accurate, and that the BMPs prescribed in the SWPPP are being implemented, properly operated, and properly maintained. The findings from the annual inspection must be documented and the SWPPP re-certified annually. Based on the findings from these inspections, the Property SWPPP may need to be revised. Based on the results of the inspection, the description of potential pollutant sources identified in the SWPPP and pollution prevention measures and controls identified in the plan shall be revised as appropriate within 2 weeks of such inspection and shall provide for implementation of any changes to the SWPPP in a timely manner, but in no case more than 12 weeks after the inspection. A blank IEPA Annual Facility Inspection Form is included in Appendix E. Completed Annual Facility Inspection Forms should be retained in Appendix H. A thorough inspection, together with information from the quarterly and semi-annual dry weather inspection checklists, should be used to complete this form for submittal to the IEPA. 5.6 Annual Storm-Water Sampling and Testing Aeropres’ Manhattan, Illinois facility is not required to monitor or sample the storm-water effluent from the facility. 5.7 Spill Management and Documentation Should a spill occur on the Property, it must be managed immediately. If the spill is environmentally threatening, it must be reported to the appropriate agency. A record must be kept of all spills and should include the following information.


9

▲ Date and time of the incident ▲ Substance spilled ▲ Volume spilled ▲ Weather conditions ▲ Duration of the incident ▲ Cause of the incident ▲ Response procedures ▲ Parties notified ▲ Amount of spilled material recovered and recovery method

A spill documentation form, which should be photocopied and used for recording the pertinent data whenever a spill occurs, is included in Appendix E. Completed copies of this form should be retained in Appendix I. Table 2 provides guidelines for reporting spills. Note: An inspection checklist for all of the above-required inspections is included as Table 1. 5.8 Employee Training Requirements To effectively implement the SWPPP, employees must be adequately trained. The goal of the training program is to teach personnel the components and goals of the SWPPP. Properly trained personnel can recognize situations that could contaminate storm water and can respond safely, quickly, and effectively to an incident. The employee-training program should cover topics such as:

▲ Spill prevention and response ▲ Good housekeeping ▲ Material management practices

All employees should be trained at least annually. Training frequency should be determined based on the complexity of stored materials, storm-water management practices, staff turnover, and changes in job assignments at the facility. Training effectiveness should be evaluated to ensure information has been effectively communicated. A blank employee record of training form is included in Appendix E. Completed copies of this form should be retained in Appendix J. 5.9 Preventive Maintenance Aeropres must perform preventive maintenance checks on all storm-water containment and conveyance structures (i.e., drainage pipes and culverts) used at the Property. These devices should be examined during the quarterly visual storm-water inspections, or more frequently if needed.

6.0 REPORTING, AMENDMENTS, AND RECORD RETENTION 6.1 Monitoring and Reporting Requirements Facilities covered under a General NPDES permit are required to retain periodic inspection records and/or quarterly, semi-annual, and annual facility inspection records, as described in Section 4.0. These records must remain at the site and must be made available for IEPA review. Aeropres is not required to conduct chemical-specific monitoring.


10

6.2 Amendments The SWPPP must be amended if any of the following events occur.

▲ Pollution prevention team personnel change. ▲ The facility finds, through its periodic inspections, that the provisions of the SWPPP do not

control storm-water pollutant discharges. ▲ Upon written notice that the IEPA finds the SWPPP ineffective in achieving the conditions of

the General NPDES Permit. ▲ When expansion, production increases, process modifications, changes in material handling or

storage, or other activities are planned that will significantly increase exposure of pollutants to storm-water discharge, either to waters of the state or to storm-water treatment devices.

If expansion or production changes occur, the amendment shall describe the new activities that contribute to the increased pollutant loading, planned source control activities that will be used to control pollutant loads, and when appropriate, describe the effect of the new or increased discharge on existing storm-water treatment facilities. The amendment must estimate the new or increased discharge of pollutants following treatment. All amendments to the SWPPP should be documented on a revision form provided in Appendix E. Completed forms should be retained in Appendix K. 6.3 Records Retention Records associated with this SWPPP must be retained at the Site for a period of at least 5 years beyond the date of the cover letter of the storm-water general permit. Copies of inspection records must be maintained for at least 3 years. All records must be made available to the IEPA on demand.
