Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine Inspection Summary: Inspection conducted as part of the permit renewal process. Met with Richard Pearson, Manufacturing Manager. Reviewed facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and monitoring records. The SPPP contains all permit -required components, however needs documentation of an annual review/update. The annual update should include an updated list of any significant spills during the previous three years or notation that none have occurred, written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of any non-stormwater discharges, and a re-evaluation of the effectiveness of BMPs. Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring records were complete. A review and discussion of the draft permit renewal was conducted. It was relayed that the Benchmark Value for aluminum was incorrectly listed in the current/expired permit as 30mg1L and will be revised in the renewed permit as 0.75mg/L. Historical analytical data for the facility showed that past monitoring results were below this revised benchmark. Observations of site conditions were made including outside storage areas and stormwater outfalls. Facility appeared to be well operated and maintained.

Through the NPDES permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit, depending upon the facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There are currently 19 active general stormwater permits in North Carolina. One condition that is applicable to both the general permits and individual stormwater permits is the requirement to develop and implement site -specific comprehensive stormwater pollution prevention plans (SPPP). These plans are required to include a comprehensive evaluation of the site and operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent pollutant discharge.
