Inspection Summary:
Melissa Joyner and Kelly Jonas met with Mike Fulk, Plant Manager and Mark Anderson, Environmental Manager to conduct
an industrial stormwater inspection of the OmniSource Southeast-Fayetteville facility. Mr. James Winegar, Environmental
Manager, now retired, was a former contact person associated with the permit of this facility. He has now been replaced by
Mark Anderson. A NPDES Stormwater Permit Contact Update Request form will need to be completed and submitted with
the updated information.This form may be accessed at:
https:/Iwww.deq.nc.govlabout/divisions/energy-mineral-and-land-resources/stormwater/stormwater-programinpdes-industrial-
program
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)was reviewed. Per the conditions in General Permit NCG200000 this
permit is required to be reviewed annually, signed and dated by the reviewer and include the following annual updates.: 1.
The Feasibility Study-per General Permit NCG200000, a review of the feasibility of changing methods of operations and/or
storage practices to eliminatelreduce exposure of materials and processes to rainfall and run-on flows. If this is not practical,
a review of the feasibility of diverting stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.; 2. Evaluation of Outfalls-
checking for the presence/non-presence of non-stormwater discharges in the outfalls and certifying the evaluation results.
The Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring records were reviewed. In September 2022 (Period 2)-There was an exceedance
of the benchmark parameters for Total Suspended Solids(TSS)at Outfall 2 and for Copper(CU)at Outfalls 4 and 5, putting
the facility into a Tier One status. Per General Permit NCG200000,Tier One Response/Actions had not occurred. In 2023,
(Period 1)no discharge occurred. The facility has not registered for on-line electronic submittal of Discharge Monitoring
Report forms (eDMR)and has not submitted hard copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report forms since 2018. Registration
for eDMR may be initiated by going to the following link.:

programistormwater-electronic-d ischarge-monitoring-reports-edm r
Outfalls 2,4, 5 and 6,aboveground storage tanks and site structural best management practices being utilized by the facility
were inspected. Outfall 2 was being sampled off-site of the property.A different on-site location was identified for future
sampling at this Outfall.The site map will need to be updated with the new location of Outfall 2. Outfall 3 was no longer
being sampled because the drop inlet which had transported water to this outfall had been filled in. This information needs to
be included in the SWPPP. Near Outfall 4 metals and tires were on the ground. They should be put on clean pallets, and if
possible, put under cover. Open dumpsters with metal were observed which should be provided with covers. Analytical and
Qualitative monitoring of Outfall 6 has not been conducted semi-annually per General Stormwater Permit NCG200000
conditions.
