Inspection Summary:
•
Kelly Jonas met Mr. Joe Reynolds, Mr. Brian Scott, and Mr. Bryon Luggett to conduct an industrial stormwater inspection of
the Richmond County Transfer Station facility in Rockingham, Richmond County, NC. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan(SWPPP)was reviewed per the conditions of the National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES)
General Stormwater Permit NCG080000. The plan, dated October 2013,was reviewed and appeared fairly complete. Few
updates have been required since the 2013 plan. The detailed map needs the latitude/longitude for the three outfalls. The
used oil aboveground storage tank(AST) has been removed. One 10,000-gallon diesel AST is located at the facility. Though
the Solvent Management Plan (SMP)was not included, it was confirmed no solvents were stored or used at the facility.A
contractor takes care of all vehicle maintenance, so no oil is stored or used at the facility.Vehicle washing is conducted on
the transfer floor, which drains to a 1,000-gallon leachate underground vault which is pumped out. No comingling of
washwater and stormwater occurs. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures(SPRP)does not contain the list of
responsible parties,which needs to be signed and dated annually.A current copy of the Certificate of Coverage(COC)was
not available.
Qualitative Monitoring has been conducted per the conditions of the General Stormwater Permit NCG080000.As the facility
does not conduct any vehicle or equipment maintenance, and has no new oil at the facility, per the conditions of the General
Stormwater Permit NCG080000,Analytical Monitoring is not required.
The facility grounds were inspected, including the three outfalls,the diesel AST, and the leachate vault. The facility ground
appeared fairly maintained. Outfall 2 was observed to have litter,which was advised to be cleaned out.The leachate tank
was confirmed to be a closed system.The diesel AST was confirmed to be locked and double-walled.
The following corrective actions are required: 1. Update the detailed map to include the latitude and longitude of the three
outfalls.; 2. Include a SMP with a certification of no solvent usage, which needs to be certified annually.; 3. Include a list of
responsible parties in the SPRP,which needs to be signed and dated annually.; 4. Keep a copy of the current COC with the
SWPPP.
The following action is recommended: 1. Monitor all outfalls for litter and clean as necessary.
