SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
White's International Trucking CLRS
Permit No. WQ0029190
Surry County
Dear Mr. White:
On September 6, 2022, Division of Water Resources staff Caitlin Caudle completed a
routine compliance inspection. A review of available records and treatment facilities was
completed. Mark Hunt and Brian King of Whites Trucking were present during the entire
inspection. This review reflected compliance with the subject permit. The following items
of concern were noted:
• To date, a permit renewal application has not been submitted per Permit
Condition 1.1. The current permit expired on March 31, 2022. An electronic copy
of the renewal application was provided on August 29, 2022. Once completed, the
application can be submitted here:
https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/NonDischarge-Branch-Submittal-Form-Ver2.
• Per Permit Condition IV.4 a maintenance log shall be maintained at this facility.
Visual observations of the treatment facility and any preventative maintenance
(inspections, cleaning, changing equipment) shall be recorded. An inspection log
was not maintained for the system, but it was in good condition and well maintained.
Some maintenance information was available in the form of residuals removal
invoices and emails regarding replacement of the carbon filter. Moving forward,
please maintain a singular inspection log describing any observations or
repairs.
