Inspection Narrative and Site Description
The inspection was conducted at the Little Eagle Community Lagoon (facility) also known as Running Antelope located on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, in Little Eagle, South Dakota to evaluate compliance with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The EPA is responsible for implementing the NPDES program in Indian Country within the State of South Dakota. The inspection was announced approximately one month prior to the inspection, to coordinate logistics for the inspection. On July 13, 2022, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) inspectors Emilio Llamozas and Stephanie Meyers met with Leon Spotted Bull and Wyatt Red Tomahawk with the MR&I Program in Little Eagle. The EPA inspectors had previous presented their credentials and had an opening conference to explain the purpose of the inspection on July 12, 2022 at the MR&I's main office for all the MR&I facilities that were inspected during this inspection trip. The inspectors proceeded to inspect the facility and asked questions to the facility representatives to help the inspectors evaluate compliance with the facility's permit. Throughout the inspection, the inspectors noted their observations in a checklist. Photographs taken during the inspection are included in the attached photo log.
The Little Eagle Lagoon System serves the Little Eagle Community located on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. The facility serves approximately 480 people. The facility is permitted as a no discharge facility, under the Lagoon General Permit for the Standing Rock Reservation. Any discharge from the facility is expected to be under emergency circumstances. The lagoon system was originally constructed in 1970, and in 1997 the system was renovated, and two cells were added. The average design flow to the facility is 0.04 million gallons per day (MGD) and the peak design flow is 0.05 MGD. The average design organic treatment capacity is 150 lbs BOD5 per day and the peak design organic treatment capacity is 188 lbs BOD5 per day. The facility does not accept hauled septic waste.
The wastewater from the Little Eagle Community (northwest of the lagoon) is collected in the lift station and pumped to cell 1. Wastewater then flows from cell 1 to cell 2, and then from cell 2 to cell 3. During the inspection, wastewater was being sent to cell 1. Cells 1 and 2 were in service. Cell 3 was not being used at the time of the inspection because they were installing riprap on the berms of cell 3 (See the enclosed facility schematic and flow diagram).
The inspectors first inspected the Little Eagle Lift Station (photo 120). The trash basket inside of the wet well of the lift station was full at the time of the inspection (photo 119). The operators were keeping track of the lift station's pump hours. Below are the coordinates for the Little Eagle Lift Station.

The inspectors and facility representatives then drove around the lagoons to evaluate berm integrity and the facility's discharge status. During the inspection, wastewater was flowing into cell 1 for treatment (photo 121). The wastewater flows from cell 1 to cell 2 (photo 122) and then from cell 2 to cell 3 (photos 123 and 124). There is a discharge pipe inside of cell 3 (photo 125). Facility representatives indicated the construction of the discharge pipe was never completed; therefore, the facility cannot discharge. Facility representatives also informed inspectors that they have not had to discharge from the facility. Vegetation had reached a height greater than six inches around the berms and inside of each of the three cells (photos 121-124). At the time of the inspection, riprap was being installed at cell 3 (photos 123 and 124), and the facility has plans to install riprap at the remaining two cells.
At the end of the day on July 13, 2022, the inspectors returned to the MR&I office and held a closing conference with Ms. Bailey, Mr. Spotted Bull, and Mr. Red Tomahawk where they discussed preliminary findings. On July 22, 2022, the EPA sent an email to Ms. Bailey, Mr. Spotted Bull, and Mr. Red Tomahawk with the preliminary findings from the inspection.

Inspection Narrative:
The facility was inspected under the Clean Air Act (CAA) for compliance with 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart CCCCCC - National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Category: Gasoline Dispensing Facilities (NESHAP 6C). Inspection activities included observation of a fuel delivery event by the EPA inspector and a request for records required to be maintained under NESHAP 6C. The following are areas of concern identified during the inspection or records review: 1. For gasoline dispensing facilities with gasoline throughput greater
than 100,000 gallons per month, Item 1(g) of Table 1 of NESHAP 6C applies:
Areas of Concern:
1(g) Pressure/vacuum (PV) vent valves shall be installed on the storage tank vent pipes. The pressure specifications for PV vent valves shall be: a positive pressure setting of 2.5 to 6.0 inches of water and a negative pressure setting of 6.0 to 10.0 inches of water. The total leak rate of all PV vent valves at an affected facility, including connections, shall not exceed 0.17 cubic foot per hour at a pressure of 2.0 inches of water and 0.63 cubic foot per hour at a vacuum of 4 inches of water.
To demonstrate compliance with Item 1(g) of Table 1 of NESHAP 6C, 40 CFR 63.11120(a) requires that a performance test using Test Procedure TP-201.1E is conducted initially and every three years thereafter. The facility most recently conducted a TP-201.1E performance test on April 26, 2022. The test report indicates that the tested components initially failed the test, stating that the tester "replaced existing OPW 623V vent caps, was having difficulties getting S1PD to pass, so vent caps were replaced/retested." The component was replaced and retested the same day as the initial test and subsequently passed the performance test. The initial failing results indicate that the facility may not have been continuously
Page 3 of 9
complying with Item 1(g) of Table 1 of NESHAP 6C. 2. Components of the tank and associated vapor balance system were
not vapor tight during the fuel delivery event, as required by Item 1(b) of Table 1 of NESHAP 6C. The following emissions were observed during the fuel delivery portion of EPA's inspection:
a. There are 2 separate regular unleaded (RUL) tanks with separate fill and vapor recovery equipment at this facility. Vapors were observed from both RUL fuel fill spill buckets prior to the caps being removed for fueling. The spill bucket for RUL #1 (RUL E) had some liquid in the bucket. The spill bucket for RUL #2 (RUL W) was completely dry.
b. Vapors were observed from the RUL #2 fill spill bucket during fueling.
c. Vapors were observed from the RUL #1 coaxial fill & vapor spill bucket during RUL fueling. The RUL #1 tank equipment is a coaxial design, where the fill and vapor recovery pipes are co-located.
d. A small vapor leak was observed coming from the loading head of compartment 3 on the truck. A small amount of liquid fuel was also leaking into the spill bucket during fueling.

Vapors were observed from the RUL #1 coaxial fill & vapor spill bucket during RUL fueling. The RUL #1 tank equipment is a coaxial design, where the fill and vapor recovery pipes are co-located. A small vapor leak was observed coming from the loading head of compartment 3 on the truck. A small amount of liquid fuel was also leaking into the spill bucket during fueling. A small vapor plume was observed from both the loading head and from the bucket. See IMG_0147 - 0148 for condition of the hose gasket. The rubber o-ring felt soft and looked in new condition, but the driver replaced the part anyway due to the observations and said he would keep an eye on the hose and loading head. Vapor vent stacks for the RUL #1, RUL #2, and premium storage tanks located on top of the canopy structure. According to the facility, the vapor lines for RUL #2 and the premium storage tanks are manifolded together and tied in to one single pressure/vacuum vent.

Inspection Narrative:
The facility was inspected under the Clean Air Act (CAA) for compliance with 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart CCCCCC - National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Category: Gasoline Dispensing Facilities (NESHAP 6C). Inspection activities included observation of a fuel delivery event by the EPA inspector and a request for records required to be maintained under NESHAP 6C. The following are areas of concern identified during the inspection or records review:
For gasoline dispensing facilities with gasoline throughput greater than 100,000 gallons per month, Item 1(g) of Table 1 of NESHAP 6C applies:
Areas of Concern:
1(g) Pressure/vacuum (PV) vent valves shall be installed on the storage tank vent pipes. The pressure specifications for PV vent valves shall be: a positive pressure setting of 2.5 to 6.0 inches of water and a negative pressure setting of 6.0 to 10.0 inches of water. The total leak rate of all PV vent valves at an affected facility, including connections, shall not exceed 0.17 cubic foot per hour at a pressure of 2.0 inches of water and 0.63 cubic foot per hour at a vacuum of 4 inches of water.
To demonstrate compliance with Item 1(g) of Table 1 of NESHAP 6C, 40
CFR 63.11120(a) requires that a performance test using Test Procedure
TP-201.1E is conducted initially and every three years thereafter. The
facility most recently conducted a TP-201.1E performance test on June
25, 2024. The test report indicates that the tested component initially
failed the negative leak rate and cracking pressure test. The component
was replaced and retested the same day as the initial test and
subsequently passed the performance test. The initial failing results

Inspection Narrative:
The facility was inspected under the Clean Air Act (CAA) for compliance with 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart CCCCCC - National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Category: Gasoline Dispensing Facilities (NESHAP 6C). Inspection activities included observation of a fuel delivery event by the EPA inspector and a request for records required to be maintained under NESHAP 6C. The following are areas of concern identified during the inspection or records review: 1. For gasoline dispensing facilities with gasoline throughput greater
than 100,000 gallons per month, Items 1(g) and 1(h) of Table 1 of NESHAP 6C applies:
Areas of Concern:
1(g) Pressure/vacuum (PV) vent valves shall be installed on the storage tank vent pipes. The pressure specifications for PV vent valves shall be: a positive pressure setting of 2.5 to 6.0 inches of water and a negative pressure setting of 6.0 to 10.0 inches of water. The total leak rate of all PV vent valves at an affected facility, including connections, shall not exceed 0.17 cubic foot per hour at a pressure of 2.0 inches of water and 0.63 cubic foot per hour at a vacuum of 4 inches of water.
1(h) The vapor balance system shall be capable of meeting the static pressure performance requirement of the following equation:
Pf = 2e-500.887/v Where: Pf = Minimum allowable final pressure, inches of water. v = Total ullage affected by the test, gallons. e = Dimensionless constant equal to approximately 2.718. 2 = The initial pressure, inches water.
Page 3 of 8
To demonstrate compliance with Items 1(g) and 1(h) of Table 1 of NESHAP 6C, 40 CFR 63.11120(a) requires that a performance test using Test Procedure TP-201.1E and Test Procedure TP-201.3 is conducted initially and every three years thereafter. The facility most recently conducted both performance tests on April 17, 2024.
The TP-201.1E test report indicates that the tested components initially failed the positive and negative leak rate and cracking pressure test. The components were replaced and retested the same day as the initial test and subsequently passed the performance test. The initial failing results indicate that the facility may not have been continuously complying with Item 1(g) of Table 1 of NESHAP 6C.
The TP-201.3 test report indicates that the premium unleaded (PUL) gasoline vapor recovery system failed the static pressure test due to the "drop tube leaking vapor." The report does not document any corrective actions or additional testing. The failing results indicate that the facility may not be continuously complying with Item 1(h) of Table 1 of NESHAP 6C.
2. Components of the tank and associated vapor balance system were not vapor tight during the fuel delivery event, as required by Item 1(b) of Table 1 of NESHAP 6C. The following emissions were observed during the fuel delivery portion of EPA's inspection: a. Vapors were observed from PUL spill bucket during fueling. Several inches of liquid were accumulated in the spill bucket, which could have contributed to the vapors observed. However, the amount of vapors observed indicate that the standing liquid was likely not the only source of the vapors. Vapors may have also been coming from the premium vapor recovery spill bucket as well, but it was difficult to discern due to the fill bucket emission plume.
b. Vapors were observed from the vapor recovery still bucket during RUL fueling. Note that the vapor recovery hose used during this fuel delivery had been observed during an EPA inspection at another Loaf N Jug immediately prior to this delivery, and no emissions were observed during that delivery.

Fuel Delivery Event Observation:
A fuel delivery event was observed by the EPA inspector. The inspector used a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) camera to record optical gas imaging (OGI) videos of gasoline vapors. Any auditory, visual, and olfactory (AVO) observations were also recorded. See Appendix A for a list of photographs and videos recorded during the fuel delivery inspection.

Several inches of liquid were accumulated in the spill bucket,
which could have contributed to the vapors observed.
However, the amount of vapors observed indicate that the
standing liquid was likely not the only source of the vapors.
Maintenance of fuel Vapors may have also been coming from the premium vapor

General Site Characteristics (layout of property, etc.)
The Site has been impacted by heavy machinery for the construction of the Loafer Mountain Parkway. Heavy machinery was used to import and spread a large amount of fill material within wetlands and channels for the construction of the Parkway. Impacts include, but are not limited to, culverts, side casted material and placement of water control structures for the construction of irrigation ditches, and fill material to expand the roadway width. The Loafer Mountain Parkway alignment is complete and open to the public.
Purpose and Need for Discharge of Dredged and/or Fill Material
Construction of a new roadway, Loafer Mountain Parkway. The purpose of the Parkway is to improve mobility and alleviate current and future traffic delays and congestion in the Elk Ridge and Salem areas.

Site Name
Loafer Mountain Parkway
Start Date May 2, 2024 End Date May 2, 2024
Site Overview (Past inspections, site description, permits, etc.)
The approximate 1000-acre Site is located between Elk Ridge Drive and Interstate15, northwest of Salem in Sections 2, 3, 10, 11, 34, and 35, Township 8 South and 9 South, Range 2 East, Salt Lake Meridian, Latitude 40.0666N, Longitude -111.6857W, Salem, Utah County, Utah.
On August 22, 2017, a section 404 Corps Individual Permit was issued for the road construction project, which authorized the loss of 3.4 acres of wet meadow wetland and 0.34 acre of emergent marsh wetland, as well as permanent impacts to 1,224 linear feet of channel/ditch features. The observed impact areas are generally consistent with the Individual Permit, but the fill footprint width exceeded the authorized acreage. The permit also required retaining walls within wetland crossing areas to reduce the width to 64 feet. However, the completed roadway width did not incorporate retaining walls and fill slopes were constructed instead, in excess of 64 feet. In addition, a ditch has been constructed parallel to the road through a large portion of wetland crossing, which was not part of the original authorization. The work authorized by the August 22, 2017 Individual Permit did not begin until November 2022, after the 5-year permit authorization expired.
The Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) conducted a site visit on August 30, 2023. During the August 30 inspection, Corps personnel explained that the reason for the site visit was to: (1) discuss project history and permitting to bring all parties up to speed; (2) gather information and better understand what work had already occurred within jurisdictional waters; (3) get clarification on the PCN submittal for NWP 14 regarding the ditch construction; (4) discuss next steps and potential paths forward.
On October 12, 2023, the Corps sent a letter to the Utah County Government Public Works Department, indicating that one or more of the terms and conditions of the Individual Permit were not in compliance. The Corps determined that the activities in wetlands had exceeded the authorized impact acreage by at least 2 acres and that the work appeared to have occurred after the permit expired.
In the Spring of 2023, irrigation ditches were constructed as shown in Attachment B, photograph 7 and 8. The pre-construction notice and nationwide permit application was submitted in August 2023. The impacts associated with the construction of the irrigation ditches have not been authorized.
Scope of Inspection (Areas inspected or not inspected) Inspected all areas on the Site documented in Attachment B.
