Chris,

 

Based on the information provided, I do not see a problem with issuing separate permits for the equipment washing operations at the Kinder Morgan facilities.  Please be advised that this decision must be reviewed more closely once all of the information in the permit applications is submitted for review.  Information regarding treatment of these wash waters must be submitted with the applications along with the design of any treatment equipment.  Please let me know if you have any additional questions.  Thanks!

Will you give consideration to the following email thread and comment on whether or not you would support (or allow) establishing separate NPDES permit for washing permits at the Kinder Morgan bulk terminals near Blytheville that would be in addition to the barge cleaning discharge permits already in place?  Operationally and functionally for Kinder Morgan, it makes sense to keep them separated.

 

Please call or email with questions.

 

 

 

You will need to discuss this request with Kim Fuller, Engineering Supervisor, who is in charge of individual permits.  Her phone number is 501-682-0643.

The following email bounced back…per your discussion, we explored whether or not the equipment cleaning general permit could work, but the general permit limitation on exterior cleaning only did not work as equipment engines must be washed prior to maintenance.

Kinder Morgan has asked AECOM Environment to prepare NPDES permit applications for equipment washing operations at each of its Barfield and Hickman Terminal facilities located near Blytheville. The Barfield facility has an active NPDES permit (AR0050083) for barge washing, as does the Hickman facility (AR0051128).

 

Based on differing facility operations and responsibilities, Kinder Morgan would like the NPDES permits for equipment cleaning to be separate from the barge washing permits. Please advise if it is acceptable to ADEQ to pursue the permitting for equipment cleaning separate from the barge cleaning permits.

 

Thank you for your attention in this matter. Please do not hesitate to call me at 713-807-6537 or Sofia Lamon at 713-807-6660 with any questions or additional information needs in order to provide guidance.
