Inspection Summary:
On August 29, 2019 this facility was inspected for compliance. I met with Joe Washburn on site. During the inspection, the
following items were noted:
1) A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has not been implemented and maintained. A SWPPP was available at
the time of the inspection, but it has not been updated annually and maintained. The permittee is directed to immediately
review and update all components of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan as outlined in the NCG070000 General
Permit.
2) Qualitative monitoring and non-stormwater discharge records could not be located at the time of the inspection. The
permittee is directed to locate, and have available all monitoring records outlined and described in the NCG070000 General
Permit.
This facility will be re -inspected on or after October 3, 2019. If the above items have not been addressed, further action will
be taken.
If you have any questions, please contact this office at [phone]
