Facility/Site Description
EPA REGION 5 lead inspector confirmed the following Facility information:
Schmitz Ready Mix applied for and was issued a General Permit to Discharge Under the Wisconsin Pollution Discharge Elimination System WPDES NO. WI-S067857-5 Tier 2 Industrial Facilities dated May 14, 2021. The Facility operates a ready-mix concrete batch plant with ingredient material storage onsite. Ancillary activities such as truck washout, concrete material recycling, and a covered repair shop are additionally housed onsite.
Material comes in via trucks, is stored in sheds and put into silos to mix with cement. The Facility is serviced by municipal water and all septic is handled by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District. Wastewater from the mixing process flows into a series of settling basins (3). From there material is hauled to a gravel pit offsite and the water gets reused in the process.
Most stormwater is collected via a series of catch basins in the main yard and discharges to Menomonee River via two outfalls. Mr. Schulz was not aware of the outfalls to the Menomonee River and believed stormwater from the Facility discharged into the stormwater sewer of the City of Milwaukee. Best management practices (BMPs) employed include, frequent sweeping and sediment filters placed at each catch basin. There were no records of BMP maintenance or a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) on site at the time of the inspection. Quarterly, semi-annual and annual inspections and reports are performed by Endpoint Solutions, a contractor. EPA requested that Mr. Schulz email copies of the last 3 years of annual reports, last year of quarterly and semi-annual reports and last year worth of employee training records.

Stormwater, which falls to the ground surface. A majority of the Facility flows overland via sheet flow towards a series of inter-connected catch basins towards the center of the property. Stormwater that falls upon structure roofs is routed directly to this storm sewer by a series of interconnected gutters and inlets. The approximate drainage area of outfall 001 is 4.12 acres and this outfall area consists of 100% impervious surfaces, including concrete and compacted gravel surfaces. This storm sewer line runs south, southeast down the center of the property towards an outfall to the Menomonee River. Stormwater that falls to the ground surface in the southeast corner of the Facility flows overland via sheet flow towards single catch basin routed to outfall 002, approximately 60' southeast along the river frontage from the southwest property interface with the Menomonee River. The approximate drainage area of this outfall is 0.34 acres and this outfall area consists of 100% impervious surfaces including concrete and compacted gravel surfaces.

SECTION II - OBSERVATIONS
Location: Outdoor area Observation #: AH2-OB-001
Date: 02/22/2024
Weather: Sunny and close to 60 degrees Fahrenheit
EPA observed the following, during the walkthrough of the outdoor area:
Starting from the north side of the Facility, there is a covered machine shop where maintenance takes place. The floor of the machine shop has a blind sump from which any liquid material that accumulates can be vacuumed and disposed offsite. Outside and at the southeast corner of the machine shop, EPA observed a couple of drums containing used oil and an IBC tote that did not have secondary containment. This area slopes towards one of the stormwater catch basins on site.
To the east of the machine shop and at an elevated area, EPA observed a shed with an open front that was split into six stalls where various aggregate material (sand, gravel and cement) was stored. EPA observed aggregates exposed to precipitation in front of the shed. South and just a few feet from the shed, EPA observed two more piles of aggregates that were not covered. This area has a steep slope towards the center of the Facility, where a couple of stormwater catch basins are located.
EPA observed two stormwater catch basins, one in the area between the machine shop and the office building, and the other one just east of the office building. Most of the runoff from the area outside the machine shop, the shed area and the east side of the Facility where the concrete mixing happens would drain into the first catch basin. The first catch basin then connects underground to the second one. EPA observed runoff going into the second catch basin at the time of the inspection. Both catch basins had sediment filters in them. EPA noted that there was a significant buildup of sediments in both filters.
East of the office building, EPA observed two 3-tiered settling basins. One of the basins was heated and to be used during the winter months. According to Mr. Schulz, the cement-mixing trucks have a 200gallon tank filled with water that they use to wash the top of the trucks. Next to the settling basins, there was a washing system to wash the inside of the mixing drum that used recycled water from the settling basins. Any wash water from the truck-washing was draining into the settling basins.
Just south of the Showroom building, EPA observed another stormwater catch basin that had a sediment filter in it with plenty of sediment buildup in and around it and next to a big aggregate pile.
EPA observed big piles of aggregates and recycled material from the settling basins next to the Menomonee River. There is a concrete wall south of the piles, about 1 foot high, to contain the material from falling on the banks of the Menomonee River. However, EPA observed material falling above the wall and into the banks of the river.
At the southwest part of the Facility, EPA observed more aggregate piles, a sand pile, a rebar pile and a stormwater catch basin that did not have a sediment filter in it. The area had an opening in the concrete wall by the river and a constructed channel/pathway on the north bank of the Menomonee River.
EPA observed outfall 002 discharging into the Menomonee River at the time of the inspection. There was no precipitation or visible snowmelt during the inspection. However, EPA observed runoff from various areas of the Facility.

EPA received and reviewed two SWPPPs. The first SWPPP was received on February 23, 2024, one day after EPA's inspection. The SWPPP was dated as September 12, 2003 and only covered part of the Facility. It also listed only one outfall.
The second SWPPP was received by EPA on March 29, 2024. The March 2024 SWPPP had an updated map of the Facility and a site layout that based on EPA's observations during the inspection, accurately represented operations, storage areas and draining patterns at the Facility. The new SWPPP also included two outfalls from the Facility to the Menomonee River.

EPA reviewed Annual Facility Site Compliance Inspection reports, required under section 4.3.1 of the WPDES General Permit No. WI-S067857-5, for years 2021, 2022 and 2023.
The reports included visual inspections for only one outfall. The Facility has two outfalls into the Menomonee River.
The reports do not include an annual check to determine whether its Facility discharges a pollutant of concern via storm water to an impaired water body listed in accordance with Section 303 (d). Section 2.8.2 of the WPDES General Permit No. WI-S067857-5 requires the results of the annual check be documented in the Annual Facility Site Compliance Inspection reports. The Menomonee River is listed as impaired with pollutants of concern listed as chlorides, phosphorus and nitrogen.
The reports indicate that there are no significant changes needed to the Facility's SWPPP. However, the copy of SWPPP provided to EPA on February 23, 2024, was dated as September 2003 and it did not cover all areas of the Facility or both its outfalls to Menomonee River.
