Permit: NCS000037
Owner -Facility: Clariant Corporation
Inspection Date: 06/04/2008
Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
# Were all outfalls observed during the inspection?
# If the facility has representative outfall status, is it properly documented by the Division?
# Has the facility evaluated all illicit (non stormwater) discharges?
Reason for Visit- Routine
Comment: The permittee has identified 13 outfalls on site, which drain either to the
Catawba River or to Long Creek. All stormwater outfall pipes or the areas around the
pipe were observed during the inspection (due to vegetation growth) and no illicit
discharges were noted. The permittee should request representative outfall status for
those outfalls, which drain similar areas on site. The permittee currently leases space
on site. Stormwater runoff from the leased areas of the site discharges to the influent of
the on -site wastewater treatment.
