Inspection Narrative and Site Description
On May 18, 2023, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) inspectors Brit Rustad and Stephanie Meyers along with North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (NDDEQ) inspectors Dallas Grossman, Kylee Harrison, and Alexis Delzer arrived at Lakeview Dairy (facility) located in Devils Lake, North Dakota at approximately 1:45pm to conduct an inspection and evaluate the facility's need for industrial stormwater permit coverage. The EPA and NDDEQ performed a joint reconnaissance inspection at this facility. No one appeared to be on site when inspectors arrived, but shortly after their arrival, facility representatives arrived. The inspectors presented their credentials and explained the purpose of the inspection was to evaluate the need for industrial stormwater permit coverage, and that the inspection was initiated as part of an industrial stormwater non-filer effort on behalf of EPA in order to permit industrial facilities in need of stormwater permit coverage. Facility representatives indicated there were no industrial activities occuring on site, that the facility was only used for storage of farm equipment. Facility representatives had stated that the dairy operation had been out of business for over 20 years, and the trucking operation had shut down as well.
Facility representatives allowed the inspectors to walk the site, where they observed no industrial activities occuring. Though inspectors did observe three large fueling tanks and informed EPA Region 8's Oil Pollution Act inspectors of these tanks. See the photos below of the tanks on site, as well as an aerial image of the facility.
As a result of this inspection, EPA and NDDEQ inspectors determined that this facility does not require industrial stormwater permit coverage and no further action is required.
