Dear Mr. McPherson:
On January 21, 2020, a site inspection was conducted for the Moore County Airport facility located at 7825 Aviation Drive,
Carthage, Moore County, North Carolina. A copy of the Compliance Inspection Report is enclosed for your review. Mr.
Bobbie Cox, Operations Director, and Mr. Paul Puszynski, Line Supervisor, were also present during the inspection and
their time and assistance is greatly appreciated. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject facility is covered by

the discharge of stormwater from the facility to receiving waters designated as Mill Creek (Warrior Lake, Crystal Lake), class

As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to be compliant with the conditions of the NCG150000 permit. Please
refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and observations made during the inspection.
Please be advised that violations of the NPDES Stormwater General Permit are subject to a civil penalty
assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. If you or your staff have any questions, comments, or needs
assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit, please contact me at (910) 433-3394 or via e-mail at

Inspection Summary:
Met with Bobbie Cox, Operations Director, and Paul Puszynski, Line Supervisor, with the Moore County Airport Authority.
Airport activities include aircraft storage, maintenance, re -fueling and washing. De-icing operations have not occurred and
there are no de-icing chemicals stored onsite. Facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and semi-annual
Qualitative Monitoring records from 2017 through 2019 were provided for review. The SPPP appeared to contain all
permit -required components along with documentation related to the annual update requirements including employee
training, non-stormwater certification and listing of any significant spills (none). Based on the monitoring records, the facility
has three stormwater discharge outfalls associated with industrial activities and there have been no observable issues
related to stormwater pollution. After the records review, observations were made of the aircraft wash area, which is located
between the T-Hangars where wash water can flow into a vegetated area for infiltration. There is a sign posted in the wash
area regarding the use of bio-degradable detergents. Observations were also made at the fuel storage tanks with secondary
containment and the stormwater discharge outfalls. At the time of inspection, facility appeared to be well operated and
maintained.
