Inspection Summary:
A compliance evaluation inspection was conducted at the facility. Adam Lynch and Mike Thompson were present
representing the facility.
Review of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)was last documented in November of 2021. Review of the
SWPPP is required annually.
The SWPPP contains a site map however it was not clear that all storm drains travel to one of the facilitys known outfalls.
Facility personnel also could not verify that roof drainage reaches one of the known outfalls.
The SWPPP contains a Good Housekeeping section, however houskeeping at the facility should be improved. Powdery
material was observed outside of roll up doors and coating much of the roadways internal to the facility. The facility operates
a street sweeper to minimize this issue.
The SWPPP does not have a Solvent Management Plan section. This is a requirement of the permit.
Illicit(non-stormwater)discharge monitoring has not occurred. Illicit discharge monitoring is required annually.
Analytical monitoring has not occurred. Analytical monitoring is required at each outfall on a quarterly basis. The facility has
not registered to submit discharge monitoring reports via a-DMR.
The facility receives dry material (gypsum) by truck and the trucks are required to go through a tire wash prior to exiting the
facility. This is listed as one of the stormwater Best Management Practices. NC DEQ received a complaint about trucks
dropping material onto the nearby roadways. At the time of this inspection, the tire wash was not operational. Facility
personnel indicated that the tire wash is currently being repaired/replaced and that the existing tire wash collapsed. No firm
date for when the tire wash would be active again was available. Facility personnel speculated that it would be operational
soon.
The outfalls were observed during this inspection. Two of the outfalls were slightly difficult to access due to overgrowth of
weeds and bushes. Clear access to the outfalls should be maintained.
