On December 18, 2014 I called Mr. Enos and was left a message with the receptionist. I was told that the best 

way to contact him would be via email. Please see attached email correspondence 

(senos@selectenergyservices.com).

On January 15th, Billey Goble called me and asked a few follow up questions. I gave him some background 

information on what we use the data for and he said their facility is working on preparing a memo and will add 

in 2014 data. They have a salt storage pad and have made changes to decrease the runoff which he will discuss 

in the memo. Mr. Goble said he could be reached on his cell at 724-531-5028. 

I called Mr. Goble on 1/23 and left a message. I followed up with an email on 1/26. 

On January 27th, I received a call from Diane Perkins with Cirrus Associates. She is a consultant for SES Assets 

LLC. She stated that the facility is a sand and gravel hauling facility with large salt piles on site. The facility 

was originally owned by Lambert Trucking who never sampled their wastewater. The company only put berms 

in place around the salt piles. In 2010 SES Assets bought the site and acquired all the environmental issues 

brought on by mishandling of the site by Lambert Trucking. SES Assets is a holding company and SES 

Services is a subsidiary which runs the site. Recently, SES Services has changed to Affirm Oil Fill Services. 

The NPDES permit is held by SES Assets LLC. Billey Goble works for SES Services. 

The facility has done a lot of remediation over the past 5 years to reduce the stormwater runoff from the large 

salt piles. These activities are described in the memo sent from Mr. Goble on 1/19/15. Outfall 001 is not in the 

salt storage area but Outfall 002 and 003 are in the salt storage area. The aluminum and chloride discharges are 

a result of the large salt piles. Ms. Perkins stated that the 2013 aluminum and chloride DMR data is most likely 

correct. The salt has been stored on site since the 1970s and in 2010 when SES Assets purchased the site it was 

well contaminated. SES Services/Affirm Oil Fill Services doesn’t actually own the salt; it is unloaded at their 

site and sold to WV DOT to use on roads in the winter. Because of the large amount of contamination, the 

facility is selling their remaining salt piles and do not plan to continue storing salt on site anymore. Ms. Perkins 

also stated that sampling was done of the Ohio River since 2010 and they did not find any impacts on the river 

from the stormwater runoff on the site. I sent a summary email to Ms. Perkins with the information we are 

requesting, she is planning to check with her client on confirming the DMR data.

(517-515-1721). 

1. Can you confirm the 2013 DMR data listed below (from my original email to Steve Enos on 12/18)?

Our records show the following values were discharged:

Outfall Date

Aluminum 

Concentration 

(mg/L)

Chloride 

Concentration 

(mg/L) Flow (MGD)

001 3/31/2013 0.00000001 0.00000001 0.00000001

001 12/31/2013 1.9 72 0.33

3. What is the source of metals in your wastewater?
Thank you!

Dear Mr. Enos,

Eastern Research Group, Inc. (ERG) under EPA Contract No. EP-C-12-021, is e-mailing you on EPA's behalf to request 

clarification of 2013 discharge monitoring reports for SES Assets LLC (WV0112640). Please see background information 

below.

EPA reviews publicly-available DMR data to fulfill its review obligation under Section 304(b) of the Clean Water Act. 

The CWA requires EPA to annually review and, if appropriate, revise its water pollution control technology-based 

regulations, called "effluent limitations guidelines" or "effluent guidelines," that limit the discharge of pollutants to waters 

of the U.S. from various categories of industrial facilities. EPA is currently conducting its 2015 annual review of existing 

effluent guidelines and potential industrial guidelines which may need to be included (see 

http://www.epa.gov/guide/304m/ for further information). EPA will discuss this review and the results in its 2015 Effluent 

Guidelines Program Plan scheduled for publication in the Federal Register sometime in 2015 or 2016. As part of the 2015 

annual review, EPA is evaluating the data in discharge monitoring reports from 2013 and needs further information to 

complete the review. 

We would like to obtain additional information on the following 2013 discharge data for SES Assets LLC. Our records 

show the following values were discharged:

Outfall Date

Aluminum 

Concentration 

(mg/L)

Chloride 

Concentration 

(mg/L) Flow (MGD)

001 3/31/2013 0.00000001 0.00000001 0.00000001

001 12/31/2013 1.9 72 0.33

002 3/31/2013 93 67,000 4.49

002 6/30/2013 1.4 2,600 0.0017

002 9/30/2013 4.4 5,200 0.26

003 3/31/2013 16 44,000 33.33

003 6/30/2013 1.4 18,000 0.403

003 9/30/2013 0.29 28,000 1.68

003 12/31/2013 0.89 64,000 0.16
We appreciate your help in confirming if the above data are accurate, or if there are units errors in the DMR data. 

Please call me at (517) 515-1721 if you have any questions. If you would like to speak directly with EPA regarding this 

request, you can contact William F. Swietlik of EPA's Office of Water/Engineering Analysis Division by phone at (202) 

566-1129 or by email: swietlik.william@epa.gov.

Thank you,
