Inspection Date: 12/09/2020 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Inspection conducted to determine facility's compliance with the conditions of the NCG140000 General Permit. Met with
Larry Carter and Ron Beshears with TST and Ed Murchison with RC Construction Company. Facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP)was provided for review. Several required components of the SPPP were missing, such as an
updated listing of any significant spills or notation that none have occurred, a listing of responsible parties, documentation of
an annual review and update, and a facility inspection program. Based on the facility's site map, there is a single discharge
outfall that receives stormwater flows as well as process wastewater flows that enter a settling basin prior to discharge.A
monitoring record from November 2020 indicated all discharge characteristics met the associated effluent limitations. There
were no available records indicating that monitoring had been conducted in previous quarters within the current permit term.
After the records review, site observations were made including ASTs, aggregate piles, settling basin and discharge outfall.
