Inspection Summary:
Melissa Joyner met with Ms. Melissa Hildreth,Owner and Ms. Chanel Little,Office Manager to conduct an inspection of the
Hildreth Ready Mix, LLC facility. Mr. Karl Hildreth had recently passed on, leaving his wife, Ms. Hildreth as the new owner. I
informed her of the Owner Designation/Affiliation Form which will need to be completed with the updated information There
was no Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)available for review, although there was a site map of the facility.There
was one outfall at the facility.Both the Stormwater and Wastewater Discharge Monitoring forms had been fully completed for
2017,2019 and 2021.Wastewater Monitoring forms from one monitoring period in 2018 and two monitoring periods in 2020
were not available for review. "No Discharge"was noted on all of the monitoring forms. Qualitative Monitoring forms were not
documented since there was no discharge but will need to be utilized if there is a discharge from the outfall.
The facility grounds were observed. No applicable secondary containment was noted. Oily residue was noted on the
concrete base of a diesel fuel tank and the ground near the concrete base. Secondary containment is necessary to provide
sufficient containment if there is an accidental leak or spill.
