SECTION I - INTRODUCTION
Site Entry and Inspection Objectives
Region 5 Lead Inspector, Matthew Schulte, and inspector Andi Hodaj arrived at the American Crystal Sugar - Moorhead Facility (the "Site" or "Facility"), located at 2500 11th St. N, Moorhead, MN 56560, at 9:30 AM on May 31, 2023, for an unannounced inspection. Inspectors presented their credentials to American Crystal Sugar representatives: Doug Emerson and Aaron Bjerke, and informed the Facility that this was an EPA Region 5 inspection to investigate elements of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. The inspection was conducted under the authority of the CWA NPDES permit program and Section 308 of the CWA. The table above identifies the attendees that participated in the inspection.
This report is based on information supplied by Facility representatives, observations made by the Region 5 inspectors, and records and reports maintained by the permittee and Region 5. These include the following: direct observations made by the Region 5 inspectors, photographs taken by Region 5 inspectors, physical evidence collected by Region 5 inspectors, measurements taken by Region 5 inspectors, verbal or written statements made or supplied by Facility representatives (the permittee) during or subsequent to the on-site inspection, and materials, processes, data, photographs, or documents shown, demonstrated, or submitted to the Region 5 inspectors by Facility representatives during or subsequent to the on-site inspection. In addition, information gathered prior to or subsequent to the inspection from a review of U.S. EPA, State, and public records may be included in this report.
Facility/Site Description
Region 5 Lead Inspector confirmed the following Facility information:
The Facility is a sugar beet processing facility that processes approximately 6,764 tons of beets a day, for 240 to 280 day per year. Products from the Facility include refined sugar and byproducts of molasses and dried beet pulp. The Facility owns and operates a wastewater treatment system to treat all process wastewater

generated from the following activities: beet transport flume wastewaters; barometric condenser wastewaters; and factory sewer wastewaters, including but not limited to, floor drains, pump seal cooling, boiler blowdown, house hot water overflows, research center wastewaters, and miscellaneous wastewaters.
The Facility's wastewater treatment processes consist of primary clarification, mud solids presses, and mud cell storage basins. Containment of contaminated snow melt and storm water runoff is stored in an approximately 15-acre stormwater pond for primary treatment before entering the Facility's wastewater treatment plant. Once treated, wastewater may be discharged from either Outfalls SD001 or SD002 to the Red River to the North or is transferred to 3 storage ponds on-site, referred to by the Facility as, game ponds. Additional sampling is performed on the game ponds prior to discharge. An Outfall SD003 exists in the NPDES permit, which represents the discharge combination of both SD001 and SD002, but this event has never occurred at the Facility to date.
At the time of this inspection, the Facility had already completed its annual beet processing and was performing maintenance. Beet processing typically occurs at the Facility from mid-August through mid-May while maintenance occurs from mid-May to mid-August. Under normal operations, all water used in the Facility's processes originates from the beets. The Facility has the ability to draw water from the City of Moorhead, but has never had the need to.
SECTION II - OBSERVATIONS
Observations may not be in sequential order.
Unique Identifying No. MS-OB-001 MS-OB-002
MS-OB-003
MS-OB-004
MS-OB-005 MS-OB-006
Observation Facility had chemical totes stored on-site that were not being kept under cover or in secondary containment. (Photos #: 22 and 23) Facility had a scrap yard that was referred to as the "Boneyard" where scrap metal was kept. This yard was not covered, nor did it have secondary containment. Facility has experienced exceedances for fecal coliform and is currently under a stipulated agreement with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to address the exceedances from September 2019 through June 2022. The Facility has 2 stormwater collection ponds the Facility refer to as "low strength" and "high strength," where all stormwater is sent prior to entering the Facility's treatment system. All composite sampling is currently being performed as a time-based composite. Sample box for the composite sample did not contain a thermometer to ensure that samples were being kept at the required preservation temperatures (<6C).
