Inspection Summary:
Melissa Joyner met with Mr. Danny Strickland, Facility Manager and Mr. Ronnie Sykes, Stormwater Manager at the Spring
Lake Auto Center & Salvage facility. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan was not available for review. The Analytical
Monitoring records were observed for December 12, 2017 and for June 27, 2018. No exceedances of benchmark values were
noted. These were the only records available during the inspection. Total Toxic Organics (TTO) was not being monitored. A
Solvent Management Plan was not available for review. TTO must be monitored unless there is a developed and
implemented Solvent Management Plan. The Discharge Monitoring Report forms are not being completed and sent to the
Division of Water Resources Central Files as required by the permit. Qualitative Monitoring is not being conducted and
should be done so at the same time as the Analytical Monitoring. An on -site rain gauge will need to be installed for
monitoring. the precipitation. There was erosion on the side slopes of the central ditch on the site. Garbage is also noted in
and near the central and western ditches, which should be retrieved. There is one Outfall recorded for the facility. Analytical
stormwater monitoring should occur in the ditch south of the crossover dirt road. During the field inspection, a secondary
ditch on the west side of the property was also observed. Analytical stormwater monitoring should be conducted for this
second Outfall and should take place in the ditch prior to where the water is being discharged to the pond.
