The SPPP was developed by a consultant in 2011 and last revised in 2012. Based on the SPPP, airport activities include aircraft maintenance, re -fueling and materials storage. According to Mr. Oxendine, de-icing operations do not occur and there are no de-icing chemicals kept onsite. Although there are forms provided in the SPPP to document annual employee training, non-stormwater certification, listing of any significant spills, and semi-annual facility inspections, there is no documentation that these items have been performed. Based on the reviewed monitoring records, the facility has one stormwater discharge outfall associated with industrial activities. After the records review, observations were made at the facility's fueling area with underground storage tanks and the stormwater discharge outfall. Facility personnel were informed at the time of inspection that a Notice of Deficiency would be issued for failure to document the annual update requirements and semi-annual facility inspections in the SPPP as required by the permit.
