Inspection Summary:
During the compliance inspection, inspectors met with Josh Byrd and Mr.Lindsay. The inspection began at 10:10 am and
concluded at 1:30pm. During the inspection, inspectors reviewed the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and found it had
not been updated. The SWPPP was missing critical documentation such as; the recording of spills (or the lack of spills) for
the previous three years, an updated site map including all of the stormwater outfalls, weekly site inspection reports, the
annual evualuation of non-stormwater discharges at outfalls, annual training records/documentation and updated site
personell contacts. In addition, the facility had not been conducting the quarterly analytical and qualitative monitoring per the
permit requirement. Due to these reasons a Notice of Violation will be issued. All outfalls were observed during the site visit.
Minor sediment accumulation was observed at the inlet and outfall of outfall D. Currently, the site does not produce any
waste water discharges or conduct any vehicle maintenance and they did not have any liquid storage onsite. This facility had
not registered for eDMR at the time of the inspection.
