Dear Craig:
On 9/29/2021 the City of Greensboro Stormwater Management Division completed an industrial
compliance inspection of General Dynamics. Local regulations permit an inspection of industrial
facilities under authority granted by City of Greensboro Code of Ordinance Chapter 30, Article
12, Section 7.1 (C-5). This inspection consisted of two parts: a review of the facility files/records
and an on -site facility inspection.
The inspection was performed by Blake Strumbel and Peter Schneider, and the following
deficiencies/observations were noted during the inspection.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan/Spill Plan Review
Site Maps and SWP3
• A Site Map was present during the time of the inspection. However, key features
of the site were not depicted. It is recommended that the Site Map be updated to
mirror the requirements laid out in the facilities NPDES Permit.
• An annual certification program needs to be instituted and should outline the
inspection of the facilities outfalls for nonstormwater discharges.
Spill Prevention and Response Plan
• The facility ensures that all employees know what actions need to be taken in the
event of a spill through various employee trainings. However, it is recommended
that a dedicated, written spill prevention plan be generated.
