Inspection Date: 03/17/2022 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Melissa Joyner conducted an inspection at the Perdue Agribusiness, LLC - Ansonville (formerly Venture Milling, Inc.) facility
and met with Mr. Joey Baggett, Regional Environmental Manager, Mr. Joe Potts, Plant Manager and Ms. Evonne Green,
Production Supervisor. She reviewed the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) which appeared orderly and
contained the majority of the information required by General Permit NCGO60000 with the following exceptions. The site map
should include all features per the conditions in General Permit NCG060000. There should also be yearly documentation
that spills or no spills have occurred. No Solvent Management Plan has been developed for this facility. The Analytical and
Qualitative Monitoring records were reviewed. The monitoring records were fully present except for the monitoring period Jul}
1, 2021-September 30, 2021 because no monitoring had occurred. General Permit NCG060000 which had been renewed
July 1, 2021 now requires quarterly monitoring. The facility grounds were inspected with the review of the single
outfall,aboveground storage tank and the other Best Management Practices being utilized. Facility personnel wanted me to
determine if they qualified for No Exposure Certification. There was metal scrap material and used tires completely exposed
to stormwater runon and runoff on the facility grounds which currently prevents the facilty from applying for a No Exposure
Certification.
