Inspection Summary:
I meet with Robert Howard, Lori Tollie and others to inspect the site and evaluate the effectiveness of their stormwater permit
program. We reviewed the required documents for the permit before walking the site and I found that everything was detailed
and complete.
The stormwater permit is issued for a flat staging and laydown area of 3.5 to 5 acreas with the plant and associated
materials located to the South and Hyco Lake to the East, North and West. The area has a railroad track which carries
gypsum, limestone and coal in rail cars that circles the entire laydown area. This laydown area consist of large pipe
sections that looked clean with no visible residue, staged in small areas around the site . There are Conex Boxes and
miscellaneous materials located in different areas of the yard. The sample outlet can be found at the one discharge point on
the East side of the permit area. Site BMP's consist of grass and ditches.
The stormwater pollution prevention plan (SP3)appeared to be in order and all the requirements of the plan are being
followed. The one exception being the spill log. We recommend that the (SP3) contain a list of spills or leaks for the last
threee years. If there were no spills or leaks during any year, please provide on the spill/leak document that there were no
spills for that year. We recommend that all spills or leaks that occurr be listed on this document, regardless of the quantaty
and whether its reportable. We also ask that the manner of recovered and the mode of disoposal of any spilledtleaked
materials be listed on that document. That is the only recommendation for this facilities stormwater permit and all other
requirements of the permit are being addressed as required
