Inspection Summary:
Melissa Joyner, Denise Bruce and Kelly Jonas met with Mike Gregory, Environmental Field Services Supervisor at the CSX
Turnout Facility-Hamlet.The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)was reviewed in accordance to the NPDES
Stormwater General Permit NCG030000.The hardcopy of the SWPPP contained the regulatory language,with supporting
documentation available online. The majority of the required documentation was available.The SWPPP has been
updated/reviewed every two years, not annually.The SWPPP did not include certification of lack of use or storage of
solvents, as required for the Solvent Management Plan.The site map needs to include topographic contours, % impervious
of the drainage areas, and location of the stormwater drop inlets.
Qualitative and analytical monitoring records were reviewed, and appeared complete.The facility was out of Tier 2 status on
January 19, 2017. No rain gauge is located onsite,with rain totals taken online from the Hamlet Airport weather report The
facility was granted representative outfall status,with the one outtall being a retention basin. No rain gauge is located onsite,
with rain totals taken online from the Hamlet Airport weather report Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)was not listed as a
parameter to monitor. However, no discharge has been noted, including since the issuance of the new permit on July 1,
2021. Therefore, no analytical monitoring has been conducted.The facility has a calibrated pH meter onsite.
The facility grounds were inspected, and generally appeared to be well-maintained.The four Aboveground Storage Tanks
located outside are all double-walled and locked.
The following actions are recommended: 1. provide stormwater inlet protection,to limit debris from entering.;2. stabilize with
groundcover the sidewalls in the permanent basin where bare.; 3.Add additional riprap to the areas in the permanent basin
being undermined by erosion.;4.Add inspection of the stormwater drop inlets to the stormwater facility inspection program.
