' CENTRAL VALLEY REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD <br /> INSPECTION REPORT <br /> 1 August 2000 <br /> DISCHARGER: Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. through its operating <br /> partners SFPP L.P. <br /> LOCATION & COUNTY: Holt, San Joaquin County <br /> CONTACT(S): Mr. Don Sanstrom, Operations and Maintenance Engineer <br /> Ms. Jill Jefferson, Environmental Specialist <br /> INSPECTION DATE: 22 June 2000 <br /> INSPECTED BY: Mr. Robert Fagerness <br /> ACCOMPANIED BY: Mr. Bill Morrison Operation and Maintenance Specialist <br /> OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS: <br /> On 22 June 2000, I met with Mr. Bill Morrison, a contract Operation and Maintenance Specialist for <br /> Kinder Morgan Energy Partners. Mr. Morrison accompanied me during a 1A compliance inspection of <br /> the petroleum groundwater treatment facility, located near Holt, in San Joaquin County. <br /> The inspection involved: reviewing the existing NPDES and Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR), <br /> General Order No. 92-150; review of the Discharger's self-monitoring reports (SMR) for the First <br /> Quarter 2000; inspecting the mechanical operations; and inspecting the receiving water. Samples of the <br /> influent, effluent and receiving water were also collected and analyzed to supplement the evaluation of <br /> permit compliance. <br /> GENERAL BACKGROUND: <br /> The Discharger owns and operates a groundwater petroleum remediation system located near Holt, in <br /> San Joaquin County. The facility is operated to control and remediate groundwater contaminated with <br /> petroleum products. The Site Cleanup Unit of the Regional Board conducts oversight of the <br /> remediation. Groundwater petroleum contamination resulted from a February 1986 petroleum pipeline <br /> release. Santa Fe Pacific Pipeline was the pipeline owner at the time of the fuel release to the <br /> environment. Currently Kinder Morgan Energy Partners L.P. manages the pipeline and SFPP L.P. is an <br /> asset holding company for the pipeline. <br /> Contaminated groundwater is pumped from a series of groundwater recovery wells. The contaminated <br /> water is passed through an oil water separator, bag filters, air stripper and granular activated carbon <br /> resulting in treated groundwater, which is then discharged to Trapper Slough. Soil vapors and process <br /> air from the air stripper that contains contaminant mass is treated through vapor phase carbon canisters. <br /> In addition to the mechanical processes, the Discharger adds sodium hypochlorite to the extracted <br />
