Inspection Date: 08/12/2020 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Complaint
Inspection Summary:
On August 12, 2020, the facility was inspected for compliance with the NCG130000 General Permit following a complaint of
foul smelling water adjacent to a berm.
The inspection revealed that the SWPPP (received via email on August 19, 2020) had not been updated since February
2014, and no records had been kept since then. Representatives of the facility pointed out that the individual previously
responsible for stormwater compliance is no longer with the company and shared a list of deficiencies and a timeline to
correct them.
During the inspection, all outfalls were observed; notably, on -site personnel took a few minutes to locate outfall #1. The area
associated with the complaint, a bermed area of the parking lot upstream of outfalls #5 and #6, had no standing water at the
time of inspection, but the area was covered in what appeared to be moist sediments and/or soils. The inspector noted a
stagnant water odor and was unable to identify any potential pollutants in the area.Dumpsters and semi -trucks were in the
area, but no apparent leaks were observed. Outfall #6 should be closely monitored for the discharge characteristics required
by the permit.
Outfall #4 was observed to be over 50% full with sediment/soil. This, and any other outfall with accumulated sediment/soil
must be maintained in such a way that any necessary monitoring can be conducted, including qualitative monitoring of
suspended solids.
Corrective actions must be taken to bring the site into compliance with the permit. The site will be reinspected after 30 days
of receipt of this report to evaluate the corrective actions taken in response to the inspection. Failure to comply with the
NCG130000 General Permit may result in a Notice of Violation.
