Dear Ms. Anderson,
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report
for the inspection we conducted at the Shuford Yarns LLC — Hickory Spinners Plant
on August 18, 2021. Please note that in the stormwater inspection report summary
we ask that all outfalls be clarified, and that Outfall 3 be removed as it is not
representative of the industrial activity. Once all outfalls are clarified, the eDMR
system needs to be updated.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone] or by E-mail at
[e-mail].

Inspection Summary:
This was a routine inspection. The Stormwater polution prevention plan (SPPP) was onsite and most of the associated
documents were complete. Employee training records need to be kept yearly for the appropriate time limit. The SPPP needs
to have an annual review and certification. Outfall 3 needs to be removed from the monitoring as this is where the water flows
onto the property from the roadway. Additional outfalls were discovered during this inspection. All outfalls from the property
need to be identified with GPS coordinates for each outfall.
