Inspection Summary:
On October 22, 2019 this facility was inspected for compliance. I met with Blake Cloninger on site. During the inspection,
the following items were noted:
1) The Site Map is not up to date and does not accurately reflect the situation of the site. The permittee is directed to
evaluate, revise and update the site plan to reflect the conditions on site.
2) The containment structure at the vehicle draining area was observed to be overtopping at the time of the inspection, and
the drain screw on the side was loose ad leaking. The permittee is directed to review and revise the preventative
maintenance and good houskeeping practices at the facility to address the secondary containment issues noted.
3) Employee training was not documented ad made available for review at the time of the inspection.
4) Documentation of an annual review of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention plan was not made available at the time of the
inspection. The permittee is directed to locate or conduct documented training at the facility in accordance with General
Permit NCG200000.
5) The stormwater basin was not far from overtopping at the far southwest end. The permittee is directed to evaluate the
condition of the berm/dam between the basin and the stream and modify as needed to provide adequate storage.
Please give the above items your immediate attention. If you have any questions, please contact this office at (828)
