Inspection Date: 01/15/2020 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The site map must be updated to include outfall locations, the building addition, the storm drains and the flow direction of the
storm drains, and the stormwater sheet flow directions. In addition, the site map is to include storage and containment areas
which may include drums, roll offs, and material storage areas. A spill sheet for the previous 3 years must be
documentation. The documentation must include any spills or leaks that have occurred. If no spills or leaks did not occur
within the year, add "no spills" to the document. Any feasible alternatives to current practices must be added, which can
include the addition of rip rap. Formal stormwater training must be conducted for applicable employees. The training must
be conducted yearly and when a new employee starts. Include a sign -in sheet to document which employees received the
training. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan and the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Plan need to
be more site -specific. Rearrange the responsible parties by order of contact. Sampling for zinc and copper are to be
conducted following the Tier 3 procedures.
During the inspection of the facility, roll -offs were leaking cutting fluid. The roll -off containers should either be completely
sealed or covered. Outfall 2 had a visible sheen possibly due to the fluid leaking from the roll -offs. All drums are to be
capped off regardless of whether they are empty or not. Personal materials were found outside covered in grease. All
facility -owned and personal materials are to follow stormwater guidelines.
To qualify for a tier relief, the permittee must submit a letter requesting relief from Tier 3 sampling requirements. This is to
include documentation on how the facility identified the source of the problem and what was conducted to alleviate the issue.
