Cause of Problem: Weather
Heavy rains during the week of 10/19 caused Motiva to bypass final pressure and sand filters of the Process Wastewater Treatment Unit (WWTU) to alleviate flooding of facility. Inactive MTBE/TAME Process Unit was overwhelmed with stormwater and flooded. Sampling of water showed no permit limits were exceeded. Dates on this incident are confusing; the two letters detail different flooding problems from the same storm, and one letter is dated 2005 but looks like it should be 2006. LDEQ report states "letter states SPOC notified of bypass 10/19/05, bypassing occurred 9/24/05. These dates are wrong" and that they contacted someone for a corrected letter.
