Global Petroleum Corporation (MA0003425)

The Global Petroleum facility, which is located in Revere, Massachusetts, is engaged in the receipt, storage, and distribution of petroleum products. The product spectrum handled by this facility consists of gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, and No.2 Fuel Oil. Petroleum products are received in bulk quantities at a jointly owned marine vessel dock located along the Chelsea River on the west side of Lee Burbank Highway (Route 1A). Product is transferred underneath and east of Lee Burbank Highway to the facility’s bulk storage tank farm. Final distribution of product is conducted at the facility’s truck loading rack and on occasion at the marine vessel dock when product is shipped off-site. The NPDES discharge consists of: 1) treated storm water runoff from pervious and impervious areas at the facility including the tank farm and terminal yard; 2) ground water undergoing treatment as a result of a previous gasoline spill; and 3) occasionally water used for the hydrostatic testing of repaired tanks. The storm water, hydrostatic test water, and treated ground water discharges are to the Chelsea River through Outfall 001. The permit also establishes two internal waste stream outfalls with individual effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for the flow that is being discharged through Outfall 001. The first internal waste stream outfall (Outfall 002) consists of storm water runoff and hydrostatic test water. The second internal waste stream outfall (Outfall 003) consists of treated ground water.
