PURPOSE OF INSPECTION
This report documents an inspection conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) at the Watco Transloading, LLC facility 5297 River Road, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45233 (Watco). The purpose of the USEPA inspection is to describe, evaluate, and document compliance with the Clean Water Act (CWA) and their National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The NPDES permit number is OH0105716 (Permit), the effective date is October 1, 2019 and an expiration date of September 30, 2024.
BACKGROUND
The Watco facility includes liquid side and a dry side bulk material handling where material can be offloaded from barges and transferred to other loading operations on rail or truck. The dry side materials are primarily salt with a small amount of fish meal and a specialty dirt used for baseball diamonds. The liquid side is recycled oil, methanol and an alcohol-based chemical called 245 Fluid. The NPDES permit effective at the time of the inspection lists five NPDES outfalls, 002, 003, 010, 011, and 012, and includes a requirement to develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention (SWPPP), with benchmark monitoring. Watco provided a map which shows the approximate locations of the permitted outfalls. The map is shown on the next page.
ENFORCEMENT AND COMPLIANE HISTORY
Ohio EPA (OEPA) conducted a compliance inspection on February 10, 2021, and another on February 8, 2022. The 2021 inspection report cited 698 violations for missed reporting starting in October 2019 through January 2021.
The February 8, 2022, inspection report included the following findings: 1. The facility is in significant non-compliance (SNC) due to total suspended solids concentrations at Outfall 011. 2. The standard operating procedures (SOPs) in use at the facility for the analysis of pH do not include the minimum information required by the approved method. 3. The facility is collecting the sample used for the analysis of oil and grease in a glass container and transferring said sample to the container used for shipment to a third-party lab for analysis. 4. It was noted that the analytical method currently in use for the analysis of aluminum, lead and zinc appeared to be solid waste analytical methods. 5. The facility was not familiar with the General Lab Criteria (GLC) developed by the OEPA. 6. The facility submitted a NPDES permit modification request to extend the compliance schedule.
INSPECTION
Jonathan Moody and Danny Nguyen of USEPA first arrived at the Administration Building at 12:50 p.m. local time on February 23, 2023. Jonathan Moody and Danny Nguyen presented their credentials and identification to Rusty Smith and Carlton Lawrence.
Opening Conference
USEPA staff explained that the purpose of the inspection was to:
Review Watco's records, including sample measurements, monitoring activities, and storm water plans, as required by the Permit;
Conduct a walkthrough of the facility; Identify locations where storm water controls had the potential to be insufficient; and Inform Watco of areas of concern regarding the records review and facility walkthrough.
Records Review
During the inspection, USEPA began reviewing hard copy documents with the Watco staff. The following areas of concern were identified:
Whole
Effluent Toxicity (WET) Testing Results
The permit required five monitoring events during the time period January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2022. The five events were three periods of quarterly monitoring in 2020 and annual monitoring in 2021 and 2022. Quarterly monitoring, as defined in the permit, occurs in the months; March, June, August, and December. Annual monitoring, or yearly, as defined in the permit, occurs in September.
DMR data for the five monitoring events in the January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2022, period report only one WET result, which occurred during the third quarter 2020. The remaining monitoring events do not show up as missed monitoring since codes for below detection, or conditional monitoring were used.
During the inspection USEPA reviewed and obtained copies of the laboratory records for the WET testing conducted from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Table below summarizes the DMR Reporting and the laboratory records

The November 2022 DMR includes the results of WET analysis for the sample collected on November 11, 2022. However, the WET results shown on the November 2022 DMR do not appear in the effluent data in EPA's Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS).
WET testing was required during the third quarter 2020 and annual monitoring in 2022. The DMRs and report `Monitoring not Required' for those periods. WET test laboratory results were available for those monitoring periods, however the samples were not collected during the month required in the permit.
The first quarter 2020 monitoring period for WET testing appears as `Below Detection' in the DMR, however the laboratory report shows detectable toxicity values.
Laboratory Samples, pH monitoring and Specific Conductivity
Non-WET samples are sent to the ALS Environmental Lab in Cincinnati. The laboratory analysis includes the field parameters for pH and specific conductivity.
An onsite review of the laboratory records for December 2022 and the DMR showed that Watco used the pH and specific conductivity values from the laboratory results for DMR compliance reporting.
Watco provided records for periodic calibration of an Oakton 300 used for pH, temperature and specific conductivity measurements. The records document the calibration using either a 3-point calibration with buffers 4, 7 and 10, or a 2-point calibration with buffers 4 and 10. Conductivity is calibrated with a 1,413 uS/cm solution. A review of digital versions of the documents, provided by Carlton Lawrence include monthly calibration records for 2022 except for the months of January, September and October 2022. Per an email from Carlton Lawrence on March 22, 2023, no records could be located for January 2022, and no samples were collected in September and October 2022.
The laboratory results for specific conductivity at the Outfall 001, for the sample collected on December 14, 2022, was 26 uMhos/cm. The result from the onsite conductivity analysis conducted by Rodney Hamilton using the Oakton 300 was 19.03 mS/cm, or 19,030 uS/cm which is three orders of magnitude higher than the laboratory result. For specific conductivity measurements a siemen (S) is equal to a Mho.
No lab records were available for the reporting periods listed below. Carlton Lawrence said that samples were not collected those months since the facility was unable to access the outfall and collect the sample within the first 30 minutes of a measurable rainfall event. o February 2021 o May 2021 o July 2021 o January 2022 o March 2022 o September 2022 o October 2022
No records were available for monitoring at outfalls 010 nor 012. Carlton Lawrence said that although the outfalls are listed in the permit, there were no monitoring requirements for those outfalls.
Benchmark Monitoring The permit contains stormwater benchmarks values for aluminum, lead and zinc. In a review of a summary document, provided by Watco, showed that the discharge at 011 was above the aluminum benchmark for most of 2022. The laboratory report for the August 2022 monitoring at Outfall 002 shows a discharge on August 30, 2022 where aluminum was 2.0 mg/L and above the benchmark value. In an email dated March 28, 2023, Carlton Lawrence confirmed there was no documentation for follow-up of this benchmark exceedance. In an email dated March 24, 2023, Carlton Lawrence confirmed that benchmark monitoring for Outfall 003 is not conducted since the benchmark parameters are not included in the online eDMR entry system.
Permit
Application and Request for Modification
Watco provided a hard copy of an Application for Modification of Ohio NPDES Permit. Per Carlton Lawrence, this document was submitted digitally on January 4, 2023. The document requests a change to the compliance schedule and the TSS limit until construction of the stormwater system is complete. The document states:
"Watco Transloading, LLC (Watco) respectfully request to modify Permit No. 1IN00169*GD to extend the current 27-month full compliance with final effluent limitations for Outfall 1IN00196011 to align with the permit expiration date of 9/30/24... In addition, Watco request to have the Total Suspended Solids (TSS) limits reevaluated while we continue construction of the stormwater system. The current limit is 50 mg/l and we would like to modify the limit to benchmark monitoring until construction is complete and the system is fully functional."
Watco provided a hardcopy of the NPDES permit application, signed July 13, 2018. The permit requested coverage for six outfalls; 002, 003, 005, 009, 006, and 007. Per an email from Carlton Lawrence on March 22, 2023, the Outfalls 002, 003 and 010 are the same as those outfalls in the current permit. Outfalls 005, 006, 007 and 009 were removed during the salt pad improvements in 2018 and were replaced with outfall 011.
Drainage Logs and Stormwater Inspections
Watco provided hard copies of liquid site containment drainage logs for January 1, 2023, through the date of the inspection, and digital copies of drainage logs for the calendar years 2021 and 2022. The logs are a requirement of the Spill Prevention Containment and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan. The logs include the dates and times when the containment valves are opened to release accumulated stormwater. The logs include a column for containment area. The midland containment is associated with outfall 003. HVC 1 refers to the valve which controls the flow in the pipe which is monitored as Outfall 002. HVC 2 is the valve which controls the flow to another pipe, located in the same manhole as Outfall 002, but is not monitored as an NPDES outfall.

Watco provided copies of the quarterly stormwater controls inspections for the January 2020 through to the date of the inspection. In an email dated March 28, 2023, Carlton Lawrence was asked about three specific dates when the inspections noted the piles were uncovered, and the inspection did not include a description of follow-up maintenance activities. The dates are: o June 29, 2021 - inspection notes the piles are not covered, no maintenance, repair or replacement documented. o December 20, 2021 - inspection notes the piles are not covered, no maintenance, repair or replacement documented. o June 23, 2022 - inspection notes the piles are not covered, no maintenance, repair or replacement documented. Carlton Lawrence confirmed in the March 28, 2023 email that documentation is not available for the maintenance activities taken to address the uncovered salt pile on these three dates.
A review of aerial images from the DigitalGlobe service showed three dates when the uncovered portion of the salt pile exceeded 150 feet. Screenshots of those three dates are included with measured estimates of salt pile storage on the following dates o April 22, 2020 o November 3, 2020 o July 5, 2021
April 22, 2020 - 93 Meters is approximately 305 feet.
November 3, 2020, 76 meters is approximately 250 feet. July 5, 2021, 96 meters is approximately 315 feet.
In an email dated March 28, 2023, Carlton Lawrence confirmed that the conditions shown in the July 5, 2021 aerial were caused by high winds on July 5, 2021, and were corrected on July 15, 2021. He also confirmed that Watco does not have the ability to place or replace covers or tarps on the salt piles. The salt pile covers are the responsibility of Watco's customers.
Facility Walkthrough
USEPA staff made the following observations during the Facility walkthroughs, further documented in the Photograph Log (attached):
EPA observed a roll off container stored outside of containment and in an area where runoff is tributary to the Ohio River. The roll off container was located southeast of the truck wash. Photos 8 through 12 show the contents of that dumpster which included crushed drums used to store oil. Before the end of the inspection, the facility relocated the roll off container to inside the truck wash containment, which is tributary to a blind tank with no outlet. The relocated container location is shown in photo 35.
Monitoring for Outfall 002 occurs inside a manhole located between the loading rack and the liquid storage tanks. The inside of the manhole is shown in photo 7, with north shown up in the photo. There are two white plastic pipes, one on the north side of the manhole and a second on the south side. Per Carlton Lawrence and Rodney Hamilton, the white pipe on the north side of the manhole comes from the northeast side of the liquid storage area, also known as HVC 1. The north white pipe is the pipe sampled for compliance for Outfall 002. The white pipe on the south side of the manhole is for drainage of the southwest half of the liquid storage area, also known as HVC 2, and is not monitored for NPDES compliance purposes. The clay-colored pipe on the east side of the manhole is no longer used and, per Rodney Hamilton, does not flow.
At the bottom of the manhole there was water flowing from the north to the south. Carlton Lawrence thought that this was offsite flow from a storm sewer which was associated with the rail road property located north of the Watco facility. Per Rodney Hamilton, this water is not sampled.
The inlet shown in photo 18 goes to an onsite sewer system tributary to outfall 011. At the time of the inspection there was filtersock surrounding the inlet, and a filter hat inside the inlet. There was a small rip forming along the upper edge of the hat.
There were straw bales at locations of concentrated storm water flow. At one location shown in photo 22 the bale was loose, and another location shown in photo 24 the bale had begun disintegrating with loose straw visible on the surrounding pavement as shown in photo 25.
A small pile of sand was present adjacent to the slope leading down to the river, and shown in photo 26. At the time of the inspection there was a filter sock surrounding the pile, but sand could be seen on the pavement downstream of the filter sock. Per Mike
Beatty this pile is wash sand and is used under a tank floor when the floor is repaired or replaced.
Northwest of the salt pile pad is a soil pile which is part of an ongoing project to install a tank for managing the wastewater discharge at outfall 011. At the time of the inspection, a portion of the soil pile was sparsely vegetated, and portion of it was not vegetated as shown in photo 29. There was also a filter sock surrounding the toe of the pile adjacent to the river.
The approximate location of Outfall 012 is shown in photo 30. This is a location where stormwater flows off the north end of the site and into the river. At the time of the inspection there were no BMPs visible at this location and sediment was visible on the pavement leading to the bank to the river.
There is a small area of pavement tributary to a black corrugated pipe leading to the river. The area is located beneath the salt conveyor used for unloading barges. This pipe is shown in photo 31 and 34. There were no visible BMPs present at this location at the time of the inspection, and this pipe and drainage area is not shown on the maps associated with the SWPPP.
Field Monitoring
USEPA staff conducted field monitoring using an AT-600 manufactured by In-Situ Inc serial
number 692432. The AT-600 included a pH probe, and a temperature/specific conductivity
probe. A calibration was conducted in the morning on February 22, 2022. A three point pH
calibration with 4.00, 7.00 and 10.00 standards, a specific conductivity calibration with a 12,880
uS/cm. Two measurements were taken on February 24, 2023 with the meter, the first at a
manhole immediately upstream of Outfall 011, and the second in a pool of water located
immediately below Outfall 011. Time stamps are in the central timezone.
