Alan Cabe has replaced Brandon Henricks as the person responsible for the permit for this facility. A Permit Contact Update Request Form will need to be completed and submitted. Please refer to the following link to access this form: https://deq. nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-and-land-resources/stormwater/stormwater-program/npdes-industrial-progr m Since the MHC Kenworth-Clinton facility had been issued industrial stormwater coverage in December 2019 under General Permit NCG080000, Certificate of Coverage NCG080980, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) had not been developed and implemented by the facility. No Analytical or Qualitative monitoring had occurred at the outfalls. The facility grounds were reviewed with two outfalls identified on the south side of the property where Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring should occur. Ms. Austin had said that a No Exposure Certification Application form had been submitted. (It was later determined that this form had not been submitted.) This facility does not qualify for No Exposure because there were parked trucks awaiting repairs on the facility grounds near the outfalls and there was also scrap metal located outdoors near a ditch which transported water toward the outfalls.
