MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Gordon Witcher <br />FROM: Jane 'Limmerman <br />DATE: November 19, 1991 <br />SUBJECT: Goodman Auto Sales Plan Review, <br />Oil/Water Separator Issues <br />The oil/water separator serving the carwash area must not <br />receive runoff from the surrounding area. It is not <br />intended to treat stormwater runoff, just the wash water <br />prior to discharge to the sanitary sewer. The wash area <br />must be hydrologically isolated� from the rest of the site. <br />As indicated on earlier mark-upc, the saparator is to be <br />sized for the expected rate of discharge that will be usecl <br />to wash cars. The size of the service and the expected <br />water presGure can be used to determine the expected rate of <br />flow. <br />The newly submitted plans show the site divided into two <br />sub-basins, basin A and basin B. All the runoff from the <br />site must be routed through an oil/water separator prior to <br />being dischargeZ from the site. The site should be altered, <br />either by grading or installatior� of storm drain, to route <br />all runoff to a common discharge point. The runoff would <br />then be routed throuqh an oil/water separator sized for the <br />entire site. <br />If all the runoff from the site cannot be routed to a common <br />discrarge point, then an oil/water separator for each sub- <br />basin will be necessary in addition to the oil/water <br />separator serving the carwash area. <br />Per earlier comments, the oil/water separator(s) provided <br />for stormwater runoff treatment must be equipped with <br />coalescing plates. <br />
