Dear Mr. Hall and Mr. Neubauer,
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report
for the inspection we conducted at the Monroe facility on October 28, 2021. Please

implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and address the issue with
plastic powders in storm drains that directly discharge to the storm drain system.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me at (704) 663-1699 or by E-mail at
