Dear Mark Norris:

On March 21, 2023, Michael Schley, Richard Farmer, and Andrew Decristofaro of Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Storm Water Services (CMSWS) along with Jerry Eplin (NCDEQ) conducted an inspection of the above
referenced facility as a requirement of the City of Charlotte’s NPDES Permit, NCS000240, Part II, Section H.
Inspection authority is granted by Charlotte City Code Chapter 18, Article III, Section 18-82. At the time of
inspection, the facility was observed to be in compliance with the City of Charlotte Storm Water Pollution Control
Ordinance; however, the following observations were made:

1. Charlotte Storm Water Pollution Control Ordinance Review
 Offsite Sedimentation – CMSWS observed particulate tracking onto Jeff Adams Dr with large amounts
of material deposited on the roadway. C&M isn't the only facility with tracking issues, but observation
supports it being the majority source; therefore, CMSWS recommends following good housekeeping
measures such as sweeping and dust suppression to help protect water quality.

The inspection was also conducted as part of a cooperative working agreement between Mecklenburg County
and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) – Division of Energy, Mineral and Land
Resources (DEMLR). NCDEQ – DEMLR has been copied on this report and made aware of the following
observations regarding the facility’s NPDES stormwater permit:

2) Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been developed, recorded, and implemented; however,
deficiencies were observed.

3) Qualitative Monitoring
Qualitative monitoring has been conducted and recorded.
