Dear Mr. Carpenter
On May 16, 2011, Thomas Ascenzo & Vicki Webb of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a compliance
inspection (CEI) of facilities stormwater pollution program. The assistance of yourself & George Orlovsky was
appreciated as it facilitated the inspection process.
The Lee Iron & Metal Company facility discharges stormwater to receiving waters of Buffalo Creek stream from 2
outfalls.
The following observations were made
Review of your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3) revealed the following :
• The plan contained the required general location map that included outfall location and drainage
areas.
• Employee training documents such as training forms were included however were not filled out to
document employee training was commenced. Provide Employee training annually to all staff and
document it on the appropriate forms.
• List of responsible parties for Emergency spill response notification
• No spills were noted for the 3 year period as noted in the documentation in the manual on page 4.
• Plan includes Stormwater Facility Inspection reports but forms have not been filled out to indicate
an inspection has been documented.
• Best Management Practices summary was observed on page 9 of the manual.
• The plan contains all the necessary components for the SP3 manual. Suggestion to add tabs to
make it easier to find a particular component or subject.
2. Qualitative Monitoring should be conducted semi-annually, reviews of monitoring documents indicate for
2008, 2010 there were only one monitoring event filled out. As of the date of the inspection it is noted that
monitoring for 2011 not was conducted. Ensure Qualitative Monitoring is conducted semi-annually and
documented in the SP3 manual.
3. Outfall #1 near fence line appears clear and has a slight red iron deposits color noted.
Outfall #2 is located in parking lot that appears to be sheet flow and overland flow. Update information on
permit renewal stating this fact since this is not a valid outfall.
