Inspection Summary:
The stormwater pollution prevention plan (SP3) was scattered around in different places and was missing much of what was
required. What was available has not been updated and the PP&G plan has not been followed. The (PP&G)preventive
maintenance and goodhousekeeping plan should be focused primarily on the bakery receiving area, but to take into account
everything on site. The permit should be updated and fully implemented.
There were plans for additional shelters and a plans for how to bring in the food products without spilling it on the ground at
the time of the permit transfer. Jeff Smith, operations Manager and Douglas Murphy Plant Manager for Smithfield Grain were
both made aware of these issues and the ongoing plans during a follow up inspection of the site when Smithfield took over
the facility. The Bakery receiving area had mud and food products covering the loading area that extended up into the drop
inlet on site. No food products should be exposed to stormwater at any time in order to remain in compliance with the
stormwater permit.
The stormwater outfalls need to be reassessed to include all areas of consentrated flow from the site including the ditch
outlet and dirt access road outlet on the East side of the facility.
The facility has a laydown yard on the East side of teh property that is most likely contributing to polluted stormwater
outleting from the site. Tractor trailers are staged iin that area with their doors open an exposed to stormwater, contributing
to the problem.
The current plan for preventing the incoming food products from becoming exposed to stormwater does not work and
something will have to be done to prevent that from happeningA temporary solution will need to be implemented while a
permanent solution is developed and employed.

Comment: The outfalls were observed and we found that at least one outfall is not being sampled. The
outfall in the area of the incoming product, that has had so much problems
is clopped with mud
and food products. The very same thing that has them in the ongoing NOV that was inherited
with the permit transfer
