Inspection Summary:
This facility was inspected for compliance on September 22, 2021, by Levi Hiatt and Tim Latham.
All outfalls and the basins associated with said outfalls were inspected. A summary items that need to be addressed for
each outfall are listed below.
Sediment Basin 3, Outfall 3:
The sample point for this outfall should be sampled where the basin discharges and not where the pipe enters the basin.
Furthermore, a path should be made to the discharge point for this basin so that a sample can be easily obtained. Riprap
should also be placed downstream of the discharge point to prevent erosion.
As part of the Tier Responses in getting the parameters for this basin under the benchmarks, the following actions are
suggested.
The high TSS values for this basin could be caused by the turbulent flow of water in the basin. A permanent stone baffle
could reduce this turbidity if it is installed directly downstream of the pipe that enters the basin.
The high fecal values for this basin could be caused by the mulch pile, brush pile, and pallet pile directly upstream of this
basin. A stormproof shelter that allows for access of these piles from the front of the shelter could reduce the fecal values by
protecting these piles from stormwater runoff.
Sediment Basin 2, Outfall 1
Samples for this outfall should be taken from inside the riser pipe, when there is flow going into the riser caused by a
qualifying storm event, due to the actual outfall being located across NC Highway 268.
However, an access path does need to be created and maintained to allow access to the actual outlet pipe if needed. Riprap
should also be placed around the actual outlet pipe for this basin.
Sediment Basin 1, Outfall 2
Samples for this outfall should also be taken from inside the riser pipe, when there is flow going into the riser caused by a
qualifying storm event. An access path also needs to be created and maintained to allow access to the actual outlet pipe if
needed. Riprap is also needed around the actual outlet pipe for this basin.
Sediment Basin 5-R
It was noted that the discharge point for Sediment Basin 5-R was not included in the current permit for this facility and was
not being monitored. This basin indirectly discharges into Sediment Basin 1. A permit modification needs to be submitted to
add the discharge point for this basin to the permit. A Representative Outfall Request can be made at the same time the
outfall is added to the permit for this facility, so that Outfall 2 represents the outfall for Sediment Basin 5-R.
Site Map included in the SWPPP
Please update the site map included in the SWPPP so that the drainage areas for each outfall include all areas draining to
each outfall, and not just the areas associated with the landfill area. The site map was also missing a table showing the
latitude and longitude for each outfall and the amount of impervious surface for each drainage area. Please update the site
map to include the above items as specified in Section B-3 of the permit.
Maintenance and Inspections
While the SWPPP briefly discussed what items should be routinely inspected and when they should be inspected, an
inspection schedule that tracks when the inspection needs to occur and when the inspection occurred should be
established for each inspection item. Furthermore, the standardized inspection form included in the SWPPP is generic and
not site specific. These forms should have a line item for each storage tank, basin, outlet, diversion, piece of equipment, etc.
that relates to this facility.
Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP) included in the SWPPP was general. A SPRP should include the locations
of all spill kits and the name and contact information for the person to contact in the event of a spill. Furthermore, the steps
that should be taken in the event of a spill should be sequentially ordered for each type of spill that could occur on site (i.e.

oil, fuel, etc.).
Employee Training
At the time of inspection, an employee training program was being established. Once the program has been established, be
sure to keep record of the trainings for each employee.
Please attend to the items listed above for Outfalls 1-3 and the outfall associated with Sediment Basin 5-R within 60-days of
receiving this report. A re -inspection will occur after the end of the 60-day period. If those items have been addressed before
the end of the 60-day period, please notify this office. All other items associated with the SWPPP and SPRP should be
resolved before the end of the 12-month period starting from the date the new COC was issued for this facility.

At the time of inspection, the facility had not had the opportunity to evaluate feasible
alternatives to current practices, review and update the SWPPP annually, or implement the
SWPPP due to the previous permit not requiring a SWPPP. This inspection was conducted
within the 12-month time period of the implementation of the new permit. It should also be
noted an employee training program was being established.
The facility currently has a 750-gallon double -walled tank that contains heating oil, a
250-gallon gas tank that powers the generator, and 1000-gallon gas tank that is empty, and no
longer in service. Secondary containment requirements are satisfactory.
The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP) included in the SWPPP was general.
Qualitative Monitoring
Has the facility conducted its Qualitative Monitoring semi-annually?
Comment: The facility has conducted its Qualitative Monitoring more frequent than semi-annually.
Analytical Monitoring
Has the facility conducted its Analytical monitoring?
# Has the facility conducted its Analytical monitoring from Vehicle Maintenance areas?
Comment: The facility has conducted its Analytical monitoring for all outfalls.
