Permit: NCG060390 Owner - Facility: Smithfield Distribution LLC
Inspection Date: 09/09/2021 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Met with Kyle Newton, Environmental Coordinator, to review the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and
monitoring records from initial permit coverage (June 21, 2019) to present. Facility's SPPP contains all components and
associated documentation as required by the NCG060000 permit that was in effect from November 1, 2018 to May 31, 2021.
The SPPP is scheduled to be updated with new/current permit requirements within six months as allowed under Part 1-1(c)
of the renewed permit, which became effective on July 1, 2021. Monitoring records indicate that the facility was triggered into
the Tier Two monthly monitoring schedule due to consecutive exceedances of the pH benchmark for the second half of2019
and first half of 2020. During the monthly monitoring schedule, facility had three consecutive monitoring events with all
results meeting the respective benchmarks and was able to return to the base monitoring frequency, which is now quarterly
under the new permit. All monitoring has been conducted, recorded and submitted as required. After the records review,
observations of site conditions were made including the facility's stormwater pump system, retention pond and discharge
outfall. Based on the current configuration of stormwater flow and discharge, some revisions are needed to the detailed site
map. At the time of inspection, facility appeared to be well operated and maintained.
