The facility was inspected due to a complaint received by this Office. There were no issues in regards to this complaint. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was reviewed and appeared well -organized. Michael Fulgum, Jr. no longer works at this facility and his name will need to be removed from the SPPP. The site map should be updated, indicating the percentage of each drainage area which is impervious and the location of Outfall #2. The facility documented that there were no spills in 2018, but there was no documentation for 2019. The stormwater outfalls have not been annually evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Documentation of annual employee training has also not occurred. A Best Management Practices (BMP) summary needs to be developed, including the permanent basin, riprap outlet protection, berm, drop inlet protection and wattles utilized near the double -walled Above Ground Storage Tank (AST). This summary should be reviewed and updated annually. It is recommended that the facility's 'Weekly Inspection" form be modified to include these BMPs. The facility has not conducted a feasability study. The Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring forms were reviewed. No exceedances of the benchmark values for the parameters was noted. The parameter Total Toxic Organics has not been monitored. This will need to be initiated for the next sampling event. Analytical Monitoring had not occurred for Period 1, in 2020, at the time of the inspection.A Solvent Management Plan may be developed which will waive this requirement but until this plan has been developed and approved, Total Toxic Organics will need to be monitored. New motor oil or hydraulic oil usage (gal/month) has not been recorded. During the facility grounds inspection a second outfall was located which will need to be monitored during Period 1. There were no issues with the outfalls and other BMP's inspected except that the berm, which was partially disturbed, will need to be stabilized with permanent groundcover. The facility grounds appeared orderly.
