The facility had previously been issued Notices of Violations on November 13, 2008 and on May 31,2016 for not having a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)and not conducting Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring. She initially reviewed the SPPP and noted the following items which should be included in this document: 1.All parts of the SPPP need to be reviewed/updated (if needed) annually,with the person in charge of the SPPP signing/dating a statement that this has occurred. 2.A site map which more clearly shows the drainage areas and notes the percentage of each drainage area which is impervious. The map should be updated, showing the location of the sludge pit and the correct location of the Outfall. The structural best management practices(BMP's)which are being and will be utilized should also be shown/labeled on the site map. 3.A narrative which fully provides the information as specified in General Permit NCG080000. 4.A list of significant spills or the notation that no spills have occurred for the past 3 years should be documented annually. 5. Annual certification that the outfall has been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. 6.A feasibility study about possibly modifying operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to rainfall and run-on flows. This should be done annually. 7.A BMP summary which lists the site structural and non-structural BMP's. 8. Information about the facility's Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP)specifically in regards to stormwater management.The names of those responsible for implementing the SPRP should be included as a written list, signed and dated by those individuals. 9. Information about the facility's Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program including the information specified in General Permit NCG080000. Facility inspections in regards to stormwater BMP's should occur twice per year and be documented in the SPPP. The Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring records were reviewed. Some Analytical Monitoring forms from 2020 were emailed to the Inspector after the inspection. Since the last inspection on May 26, 2016,the facility was in Tier Two, monthly monitoring, due to exceedances of the benchmark value for Total Suspended Solids(TSS). No Analytical and Qualitative monitoring occurred in October and November, in 2016, or October through December, in 2017,or in April, 2018. Monitoring only occurred once in 2019. The facility came back into compliance in 2020 and has now resumed semi-annual monitoring. The facility grounds were inspected.A rain gauge will need to be installed on the site. The location of the single outfall will need to be changed from the middle of the intermittent stream to the end of the swale, prior to where water discharges from it into the stream. The haul road near the access to the sludge pit was eroding and will need stabilization to prevent potential impacts to the intermittent stream. The sludge pit and area adjacent to it where a sand pile was located will need additional, protective measures installed. The sludge pit will need to be continuously cleaned out in a timely manner.
