NPDES Permits in New England
Global South Terminal, LLC (MA0000825)
The Global South facility, which is located in Revere,
Massachusetts, is primarily engaged in the receipt, storage, and
distribution of petroleum products. The product spectrum handled
by this facility consists of gasoline, diesel fuel, No.2 Fuel Oil,
and various fuel additives. Petroleum products are received in
bulk quantities at either the marine vessel dock located behind
the adjacent Global Petroleum Corporation Terminal (NPDES Permit
No. MA0003425) or through an inter-terminal supply network from
neighboring facilities. Product is then transferred to the aboveground
storage tanks located within the facility’s
tank farm on the east side of Lee Burbank Highway (Route 1A). Final distribution
of product was originally conducted at the facility’s terminal yard located
on the opposite side of the highway at 96 Lee Burbank Highway. In 1999, the office
and truck loading rack were closed and dismantled. Truck loading operations currently
take place at the Global Petroleum Corporation Terminal located next door at
140 Lee Burbank Highway.
The terminal yard, which consists of the former truck loading rack and office area, is now used for parking. The unpaved area to the west of the terminal yard is used in support of storm water collection and treatment activities. The NPDES discharge consists primarily of storm water runoff from pervious and impervious areas at the facility including the tank farm and terminal yard. On occasion, the facility will also discharge treated water used in the hydrostatic testing of recently repaired tanks. The proposed permit also contains language to allow the facility to treat storm water transferred from the tank farm of the adjacent Global Petroleum Corporation facility. The storm water and hydrostatic test water discharges are to the Chelsea River through Outfall 001.
