Dear Mr. Medlin:
On February 27. 2020, a site inspection was conducted for the Norman H. Larkins Water Pollution Control facility located

your review. Ms. Lisa Osthues, Environmental Programs Manager, Mr. Blake Raynor, Chief Wastewater Operator and Mr.

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

Inspection Date: 02/27/2020 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan was reviewed and appeared well -organized. The site map should be updated to
-include the location of the Maintenance building. A feasability study was not included in the SPPP. The semi-annual facility
inspections should include inspections of all Best Management Practices being utilized on the grounds of the facility (e.g.
ditches and riprap protection, etc.) These measures were inspected as well as Outfall 1. There was erosion noted downslope
of this outfall. A repair plan has been developed for this issue. There was also erosion observed undercutting three culverts
discharging to a ditch. Near the stormwater pumps, erosion was observed near.a drop inlet which needed additional
protective stabilization. The facility grounds appeared well -maintained.
