RE: Industrial Compliance Inspection
Inspection location: Chemol Company, Inc.
2300 Randolph Ave.
SW Permit #: NCS000048
Dear Mr. Newlin:
On October 12, 2021, the City of Greensboro Stormwater Management Division completed an
industrial compliance inspection of Chemol Company, Inc. 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
• The last annual non-stormwater discharge certification was conducted in 2017. It is
recommended that the facility incorporate this into its inspection program.
Spill Prevention and Response Plan
• No deficiencies noted.

Employee Training
• No deficiencies noted.
Site Inspection
Preventative Maintenance/Good Housekeeping
• A leaking, decommissioned grease container was noted near the railroad spur. It is
recommended that the fugitive material, and the container, be collected and disposed
of accordingly.
• Grease was also noted on one of the berms located near the main plant. The grease was
likely deposited by continuous use of this berm section as ingress/egress to the diked
area. Should a rain event occur, the material located on the outer edge of the berm
would flow into the stormwater system. It is recommended that the trekking of
material from inside the diked areas be addressed and that the material present during
the time of inspection be cleaned up and disposed of properly.
Non-Stormwater Discharges
• No deficiencies observed.
It is recommended that Chemol Company, Inc. take appropriate actions to correct the noted
deficiencies. If you have any questions concerning this inspection, please contact me at (336)
373-7665 or at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Blake Strumbel
