Subject: NPDES Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Groundwater Remediation System (Petroleum)
General Permit NCG510000
Certificate of Coverage NCG510070
Dixie Grocery (4730 NC Hwy 39 S, Gillburg)
Vance County
On September I0, 2019 Jason Robinson of the NC Division of Water Resource's Raleigh Regional
Office (RRO) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection at the former site of Dixie Grocery at
4730 NC Hwy 39, S, Gillburg, specifically for compliance with General permit NCG510000 and
Certificate of Coverage NCG510070 that covers the groundwater remediation discharge system. We
thank Mr. James Dobson of EMS Environmental for his correspondence and Mr. Justin Abreu of EMS
for meeting the inspector onsite.
Based on the inspection, correspondence with Mr. Dobson and a file review, the following was
determined:
I. This Certification of Coverage (CoC) is for the operation of a groundwater remediation system
and discharge of treated petroleum -contaminated groundwater or similar wastewater stream.
The CoC was originally issued on June 30, 1993, was reissued on November 21, 2016 and will
remain effective for the duration of the General Permit.
2. The pump and treat system that is covered under the general NPDES permit has not been
operational since August 9, 2018. Mr. Dobson explained that the groundwater system was
deactivated at this time as directed by the NCDEQ UST Section. As of now, a rescission of the
CoC has not been requested, pending a decision by the UST Section.
3. Mr. Dodson provided the Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and lab bench sheets for the
last quarterly sampling that was done (June 2018). No discrepancies were found.
4. The effluent discharge pipe discharges down the street to a ditch between 155 and 177 Gillburg
