Dear Mr. Gebrail:
2145 Suttle Avenue
Charlotte, NC 28208-5237
On February 17, 2020, Ron Eubanks of Charlotte -Mecklenburg Storm Water Services
(CMSWS) conducted an inspection of the above referenced facility as a requirement of the City
of Charlotte's NPDES Permit, NCS000240, Part II, Section H. Inspection authority is granted by
Charlotte City Code Chapter 18, Article III, Section 18-82. At the time of inspection, the facility
was observed to be in compliance with the City of Charlotte Storm Water Pollution Control
Ordinance; however, the following recommendation was made:
1) Charlotte Storm Water Pollution Control Ordinance Review
• Structural Stormwater BMPs — Absorbent booms have been placed around the catch
basin inlets to filter oil and other pollutants in the stormwater runoff from the property. It
is recommended that the absorbent booms be routinely checked and replaced as needed.
The used absorbent booms should be disposed of properly.
• Waste Storage/Disposal Area — There is one municipal waste dumpster and one scrap
metal recycling dumpster located on the property. Both dumpsters appeared to be in
good condition; however, the scrap metal dumpster was uncovered. It is recommended
that the scrap metal dumpster be covered to prevent exposure to stormwater.
The inspection was also conducted as part of a cooperative working agreement between
Mecklenburg County and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) —
Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR). NCDEQ — DEMLR has been copied
on this report and made aware of the following observations regarding the facility's NPDES
stormwater permit:
2) Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) has not been developed and implemented for Sam
Auto Salvage.
3) Qualitative Monitoring

Permit NCG 100000.
