Richmond County Transfer Station, Certificate of Coverage NCG080926
Richmond County
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
On August 23, 2019, a site inspection was conducted for the Richmond County Transfer Station facility located at 191
Walter Kelly Road in Richmond County, North Carolina. A copy of the Compliance Inspection Report is enclosed for your
review. Along with yourself, Mr. Brian Scott, Operations Manager, was also present during the inspection and both your
and his time and assistance is greatly appreciated. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject facility is covered
by NPDES Stormwater General Permit NCG080000 under Certificate of Coverage NCG080926. Permit coverage
authorizes the discharge of stormwater from the facility to receiving waters designated as Cartledge Creek, a Class C
waterbody in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin.
As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to be in compliance with the conditions of the NCG080000 permit.
Please refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and observations made during the
inspection.
Please be advised that violations of the NPDES Stormwater General Permit are subject to a civil penalty
assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. If you or your staff have any questions, comments, or needs
assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit, please contact me at [phone] or by e-mail at
[e-mail].
Sincerely,
Michael Lawyer, CPSWQ

Inspection Summary:
Inspection conducted to determine compliance with the conditions of the NPDES NCG080000 Stormwater General Permit.
Met with Joe Reynolds, Division Manager, and Brian Scott, Operations Manager. Reviewed facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP), which appeared to contain all permit required components and is updated annually. Related
documents pertaining to site inspections, employee training, etc. were included with the SPPP. Vehicle maintenance is
conducted onsite by a third -party contractor, however less than 55 gallons of new motor oil is used per month such that
analytical monitoring under the NCG080000 permit is not required. Qualitative (visual) monitoring is conducted and recorded
semi-annually. Facility has three stormwater discharge outfalls. Due to the inaccessibility of the end of the stormwater
pipes, monitoring is conducted at each of the drop inlet drains leading directly to the outfalls. Site observations were made of
the storm drains/outfalls, trash off-loading area and ASTs, which have secondary containment. At the time of inspection,
facility appeared to be well operated and maintained.
