Site Number: WT003090
A&Y Salvage, Inc.
Rockingham County
Dear Mr. Gentry,
On March 11, 2021, Levi Hiatt and Blane Houck from the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the Division
of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), visited the subject site located at 804 Island Drive in
Madison, Rockingham County, North Carolina. The site visit and file review revealed that A&Y Salvage,
Inc. has neither applied for, nor obtained coverage under, NPDES General Permit No. NCG 100000 (Used
Motor Vehicles) for stormwater discharges from the site. The site currently discharges stormwater affected
by processes on site to receiving waters designated as Big Beaver Island Creek a Class C waterbody in the
Roanoke River Basin.
An NPDES permit is required to discharge stormwater to waters of the state in accordance with G.S. 143-
215.1(a) and Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (hereby known as NCAC) 2H .0126. Enclosed
with the inspection report is a copy of Notice of Intent (NOI) that shall be filled out and submitted to the
Department of Environmental Quality within 30 calendar days of receipt of this Notice. Submission
information can be found in the NOI.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. This office requires that the violations, as detailed above,
be properly resolved. These violations and any future violations are subject to a civil penalty
assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. Your efforts to undertake activities to bring the
subject site into compliance are not an admission, rather they are actions that must be taken in order to
begin to resolve ongoing environmental issues. The timeliness with which you submit an NOI, the degree
and extent of harm to the environment, and the duration and gravity of the violation(s) will be considered
in any civil penalty assessment process that may occur. Should you have any questions regarding these
matters, please contact Levi Hiatt or myself at [phone].
