Inspection Summary:
Facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and semi-annual Qualitative Monitoring records from 2017 through
2019 were provided for review. The SPPP was developed by a consultant in 2011 and last revised in 2012. Based on the
SPPP, airport activities include aircraft maintenance, re -fueling and materials storage. According to Mr. Oxendine, de-icing
operations do not occur and there are no de-icing chemicals kept onsite. Although there are forms provided in the SPPP to
document annual employee training, non-stormwater certification, listing of any significant spills, and semi-annual facility
inspections, there is no documentation that these items have been performed. Based on the reviewed monitoring records,
the facility has one stormwater discharge outfall associated with industrial activities. After the records review, observations
were made at the facility's fueling area with underground storage tanks and the stormwater discharge outfall. Facility
personnel were informed at the time of inspection that a Notice of Deficiency would be issued for failure to document the
annual update requirements and semi-annual facility inspections in the SPPP as required by the permit.
