The SWPPP was last updated in 2013 and appears to contain all permit -required components. However, there was no documentation related to an annual review/update to include an annually updated listing of significant spills or notation that none have occurred, annual employee training, or annual evaluation of the stormwater outfall for the presence of any non-stormwater discharges. The SPCC was updated in June 2021 and contains records of inspections of the facility's ASTs and secondary containment structures. Per Mr. Cadle, monitoring of stormwater discharges per the conditions of the NCG080000 permit has not been conducted for the past several years due to some miscommunication. Monitoring records available for review at the time of inspection were from 2015. After the records review, observations were made of the facility's ASTs with secondary containment, stormwater discharge outfall, and overall site conditions. Mr. Cadle was informed that a Notice of Violation would be issued for failure to update/implement the SWPPP and failure to conduct monitoring of stormwater discharges per the conditions of the NCG080000 permit.
