Subject: Compliance Inspection
Permit No. NCG 240021
Reidsville Yard Waste & Material Recovery Facility
Rockingham County
Dear Permit Holder:
On April 3, 2019, Brandon Wise, inspector with the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) — Division of Energy, Minerals, and Land Resources met with
site contacts at the facility located at 407 Broad Street in Reidsville, to conduct a compliance
inspection as part of the comment period for a new permit application. The inspection consisted
of review of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and each of its components,
review of the facility outfalls, as well as the review of the overall site conditions.
The compliance inspection was conducted to ensure all site practices and facilities are in
working order. The inspection was also conducted as assistance to the City of Reidsville should
there be any questions about the implementation of the permit NCG240021.
Permit:
This facility has General Stormwater Permit NCG240021 to discharge stormwater from
industrial activity associated with Composting Operations [SIC 2875 and/or 28791 under the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The permit was not yet effective at
the time of the inspection, as the inspection was completed as part of the comment period.
Records/Reports:
This facility is required to develop and maintain a SWPPP in accordance with Part II of
the permit. All qualitative and analytical monitoring records are required to be maintained with
the SWPPP for a minimum of five (5) years. Under this permit, analytical monitoring is required
under current operating procedures. The facility records do not include any reports as the facility
was not actively permitted prior to the inspection. The SWPPP for this facility had been put
together prior to arriving on site. The SWPPP looked very good and contained all required
components. Outfall locations need to be updated to the locations that were discussed on site
rather than the creek sample locations previously chosen. The facility is required to maintain
employee training records in accordance with Part II, Item 6 of the permit. Ensure that these
records are added to the SWPPP when training is completed.

Facility Site Review:
This facility operates as a storage yard for natural debris prior to being mulched along
with storage for composting operations performed by the city. The facility is primarily flat with
a slight slope towards the southwest. A diversion ditch is located at the south side of the facility
that directs stormwater to an existing depression that is believed to have been a sediment basin at
one point. The stormwater discharge from this depression will be one of the sampled and
maintained outfalls. This outfall collects the stormwater from primarily the composting area. A
second outfall is located where stormwater is discharged to the unnamed tributary near a sewer
line access. The stormwater discharging to this area will come from the composting area along
with the natural debris storage area. A small area on the southeast side of the facility has been
designated for three roll off containers. This area of the facility will need to be inspected
regularly to ensure potential pollutants are not making it to the stormwater. General
housekeeping was very good while on site, as discussed while on site continued upkeep of the
grass areas between the industrial activity and outfalls is recommended to reduce pollutants.
Effluent Receiving Waters:
Effluent from this facility drains into an unnamed tributary of Little Troublesome Creek,
class "WS-V; NSW" waters of the Cape Fear River Basin.
Self -Monitoring Program:
This facility is required to provide Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring quarterly. The
outfalls discharging from the facility are expected to be properly maintained and sampled.
Should any issues arise please contact NCDEQ for assistance.
There are no comments about any changes to the issued permit. If you have any
questions or need additional information, please contact Brandon Wise at [phone] or
[e-mail].
