1. BACKGROUND
PVS Technologies, Inc. 03/30/2022
The purpose of this report is to describe, evaluate and document PVS Technologies, Inc's compliance with the Clean Water Act (CWA) at its 1111 State Route 149, Burns Harbor, Indiana facility (the facility) on 03/18/2022. This inspection was performed pursuant to Section 308(a) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended.
The facility sits on an approximately 16-acre parcel with approximately 10 acres used for industrial processes and storage and the remainder including an office building, access road, agriculture, and stormwater management. The facility receives spent pickle liquor (ferrous chloride) and processes it into hydrochloric acid and iron oxide. The spent pickle liquor and hydrochloric acid are stored in a tank farm with secondary containment that can be pumped back into tanks for processing. The iron oxide is loaded into totes and stored either in the warehouse or temporarily outside. The facility operates under SIC code 2819 - Industrial Inorganic Chemicals, Not Elsewhere Classified.
The facility utilizes a series of ditches around the facility to collect stormwater and convey it to a stormwater storage pond. Valves are used to control the flow of stormwater from one ditch to the next and to control the flow of water from the stormwater pond to the outfall on Gustafson Ditch. The discharge of stormwater from the outfall to Gustafson Ditch is authorized under permit INRM02220. Gustafson Ditch is listed as impaired for E. Coli and Biological Integrity. The facility received their Notice of Sufficiency from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) on August 4, 2017. The permit had an effective day of June 9, 2017, and an expiration date of June 8, 2022.
The facility also has an air permit #M127-43056-00039 and is a Large Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator.

2.1 Opening Conference and Interview
Ben Atkinson and Joan Rogers of the EPA (the inspectors) along with Drew Gamble of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management arrived at the facility at approximately 9:36 AM. The inspectors parked and walked to the Office Building. In the Office Building, the inspectors were greeted and led to an office to conduct the opening conference and interview portion of the Inspection. The inspectors presented their credentials to Tim Klein, Erhan Duvarci, and Shane Brunson. Mr. Brunson was unable to stay for the interview portion of the inspection but stated that he would like to be part of the closing conference. The inspectors explained the purpose of the inspection, the format of the inspection, the facility's right to claim certain information as Confidential Business Information, and what to expect following the Inspection.
The Inspectors asked if the facility had an NPDES permit for wastewater or stormwater. The facility personnel stated that all process wastewater is directed by sump pumps back to the system and used in process. The facility personnel stated they had industrial stormwater coverage under Indiana's Rule 6 general permit #INRM02220. They stated that the facility collected stormwater in a series of ditches surrounding the facility. They stated that the ditches were connected by a series of valves which allowed them to control the flow of stormwater from one ditch to the next, from the ditches to the stormwater pond, and from the stormwater pond to the outfall on Gustafson Ditch. The facility personnel also stated that the facility had a connection for sanitary waste to the local sewer.
The inspectors asked for a brief explanation of what occurred at the facility. The facility personnel stated that they receive spent pickle liquor from steel mills which is stored in the tank farm. The spent pickle liquor is then recycled to 18% hydrochloric acid and iron oxide. The hydrochloric acid is sold back to the steel mills and the iron oxide is sold to a variety of end users.
The facility personnel stated that each ditch was tested for pH prior to release to the subsequent ditch and that the pond was tested for pH prior to discharging to Gustafson Ditch. The facility personnel stated that if the ditches had a pH less than 5, the stormwater would not be allowed to flow to the pond, but rather would be pumped to the tank farm for treatment. They stated that this had not occurred in four years.
The inspectors asked if there was a SWPPP onsite. The facility provided a SWPPP that had been updated November 2021 for review. The inspectors requested the last 3 years of quarterly and annual inspection reports.
While reviewing the SWPPP, the inspectors noted that in 2021 annual sampling there were metals found in the discharge. Additionally, the inspectors noted that the current permit coverage expires on June 8, 2022 and that the facility is required to re-apply for
3
PVS Technologies, Inc. 03/30/2022
coverage 90 days prior to expiration meaning that the application should have been submitted on March 08, 2022 and the facility was currently past due.
The inspectors requested a copy of the training syllabus for and a map of the location of the stormwater valves.
The inspectors left for lunch at 11:30 AM and returned at 12:20 PM. The inspectors then began the walkthrough of the facility.
2.2 Facility Walkthrough
The inspectors began the walkthrough at the intersection of the east office road and the main road. The inspectors observed the ditch along the south side of the main road. The inspectors observed a culvert under the west office road and a ditch between the west office road and the east office road (photos 1-3). The inspectors walked east and observed the culvert under the east office road as well as the valve that controlled flow through the culvert (photos 4-7).
The inspectors continued walking east along the main road and observed the ditch on the south side of the main road south of the process area. The inspectors observed a red color in the ditch (photos 8-10).
The inspectors then observed a ditch on the north side of the main road east of the center access road. The inspectors observed that there was a strong red color in this ditch as well as a sheen on the water on the west side (photos 11-13). The facility personnel stated that this ditch did not connect to rest of the stormwater ditch system and did not have an outlet. The inspectors walked west along the ditch and followed a series of pipes north to a paved area in the center of the process area (photos 14-17). The inspectors observed the flow of a bright red liquid from an area around an exhaust tower. It appeared that there was a containment curb around the exhaust tower and blower fan, but that there was a gap through which the red liquid was flowing (photos 18 and 20). The inspectors walked back south along the center access road and observed several fuel cans stored outside (photo 21).
The inspectors continued east along the main road and observed red coloring in the ditch on the south side of the main road (photo 22). The inspectors then observed the east end of the ditch on the north side of the main road (photo 23).
The inspectors followed the main road north to where it intersected with the warehouse road. The inspectors observed a culvert pipe and valve on the north side of the warehouse road (photos 25 and 26). The inspectors also observed the south end of the culvert on the south side of the warehouse road (photos 26 and 27). The facility personnel stated that the ditch on the north side of the warehouse road was connected by a pipe to the ditch on the north side of the process area.

The inspectors walked east along the warehouse road and then east to the Gustafson Ditch (photos 28 and 29). The inspectors then walked west back toward the east side of the warehouse. The inspectors observed that there was a depression in the berm along the east side of the warehouse. This depression continued east down to Gustafson Ditch. It appeared that the depression could serve as a flow path for stormwater from the roof of the warehouse (photos 30 and 31).
The inspectors continued walking north along Gustafson Ditch and observed the facility's outfall to Gustafson Ditch. The inspectors observed that there was a slight discharge occuring (photos 32-34). No red color was observed in the discharge or in Gustafson ditch. The inspectors then walked west. The inspectors observed a pipe protruding from the berm along the north side of the facility's property conveying stormwater from property to the north of the facility to Gustafson Ditch (photo 35).
The inspectors walked west and observed the west end of the outfall pipe as well as the ditch that conveys stormwater from the stormwater pond to the outfall pipe (phots 37 and 38). No red color was observed in the ditch.
The inspectors then walked west and observed the east end of the stormwater ditch on the north side of the warehouse (photo 39). The inspectors continued west and observed a paved area on the north side of the warehouse that was being used to store iron oxide toes, used chemical totes, and miscellaneous equipment. The paved area was coated with red colored stormwater (photos 40-42). The inspectors also observed the stormwater ditch on the northside of the paved area. This ditch contained bright red stormwater (photo 43 and 45).
The inspectors then walked south and observed the tank farm and secondary containment (phot 44). The inspectors then walked northwest and observed the west side end of the northern stormwater ditch and the culvert under the gravel access road (photos 45 and 46). The inspectors then walked north and observed the west end of the ditch that conveys stormwater from the stormwater pond to the outfall (photo 47). The inspectors observed that the ditch passed through a culvert under the gravel access road (photo 48). The inspectors walked west and observed the valve at the stormwater water pond that releases stormwater to the outfall at Gustafson Ditch (photos 49 and 50).
The inspectors then walked around the north side of the stormwater pond, around the west side to the south side. On the south side of the stormwater pond, the inspectors observed the pipe and valve that convey stormwater from the ditch to the south into the stormwater pond (photos 51 and 52).
The Inspectors then walked north along the east side of the stormwater pond and returned to the north stormwater ditch so that the facility personnel could point out where the ditch on the south side of the warehouse connected (photo 53). The facility personnel stated that the pipe was obscured in the water vegetation.

The inspectors then walked southwest down the west access road and observed the ditch along the west side of the ditch that conveys stormwater to the south side of the stormwater pond.
The inspectors then walked back to the office and held the closing conference.
2.3 Closing Conference and Post-Inspection
Following the walkthrough of the facility, the inspectors held a closing conference in the office building. The Inspectors stated that they had three areas of concern:
1. For some of the ditches, the valves that controlled flow into or out of the ditch were obscured by vegetation. In an extreme precipitation event, it may be difficult to locate the valve to prevent an overflow.
2. The inspectors were concerned about whether the metals content shown in the 2021 annual report met water quality limits.
3. The status of the facility's past due permit re-application.
The inspectors requested that the facility provide the following documents electronically:
a copy of the SWPPP copies of annual and quarterly inspections copy of the syllabus for training used to meet the requirements of Rule 6 2017 Notice of Intent A map of the control valve locations for stormwater
Following the inspection, on 04/13/2022, The facility representatives submitted to EPA the following documents.
Storm Water Control Valve Map 2017 NOI 2019 Annual Report 2018 - 2022 Quarterly Inspection 2020 Name Change NOI 2022 Renewal NOI 2022 Renewal NOI Public Notice 2022 Annual Inspection 2022 Annual Report Facility SWPPP updated April 2022 Stormwater training syllabus Stormwater training attendance Record from 4/5/2022 - 4/7/2022

Following a review of the provided documents, EPA has identified the following areas of concern:
4. The maps provided in the SWPPP do not clearly denote "all on-site stormwater drainage and discharge conveyances"
5. The maps provided in the SWPPP do not show an outline of the drainage area for each stormwater outfall
6. The maps provided in the SWPPP do not show an outline of impervious surfaces, which includes pavement and buildings, and an estimate of the impervious and pervious surface square footage for each drainage area placed in a map legend.
7. The maps provided in the SWPPP do not show all existing structural control measures to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff.
8. The maps provided in the SWPPP do not show all existing and historical underground or aboveground storage tank locations.
9. The maps provided in the SWPPP do not show all loading and unloading areas for solid and liquid bulk materials
10. The maps provided in the SWPPP do not show all existing and historical outdoor storage areas for raw materials, intermediary products, final products, and waste materials.
11. The non-stormwater discharge certification is unsigned.
Additionally, while writing this inspection report, EPA identified the following areas of concern:
12. The depression in the berm on the east side of the warehouse has the potential to convey stormwater from the site to Gustafson Ditch.
13. The liquid stream coming from the exhaust stack seen in photos 18 and 20. 14. The uncovered storage totes located north of the warehouse. 15. Overall house-keeping that results in the widespread iron oxide coverage.
