Approximately 60% of the property is asphalt- or concrete-paved; the remaining is undeveloped and landscaped. The developed portion of the property is surrounded on all sides by an electric fence. The entire site is considered a single Drainage Area. Stormwater from the site drains into a series of interconnected catch basins and drainage ditches that discharge to a large retention area. The retention area is on the southwestern portion of the property and receives flow from the entire facility. Two outfalls have been designated for the property.A fuel and oil storage area is located at the west-central property boundary. Industrial activities performed at the terminal that could potentially impact stormwater include fueling, oil and material storage associated with maintenance of tractors and trailers, and vehicle washing. We also recommended additional BMPs addition for this plan update.(reference: Joe Fuhr, PG, GEOS Environmental, Inc., Tampa, FL)
