Inspection Summary:
Melissa Joyner and Evangelyn Lowery-Jacobs met with Charles Wilcox, Plant Manager, to conduct an industrial stormwater
inspection of the Lewis-Brady Builders Supply, Inc.facility. If the ownership of this facility will be changed a
Name/Ownership Change form will need to be electronically completed and submitted by going to the followng link.:
https://www.d eq.nc.gov/a bout/d ivisions/ene rgy-minera I-and-land-resources/stormwater/stormwater-p rog ram/n pdes-i nd ustrial-
program
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)was reviewed. Per the conditions of General Permit NCG140000 this
permit is required to be reviewed annually with following annual updates.: 1.The Feasibility Study- per General Permit
NCG140000, a review of the feasibility of changing methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate/reduce
exposure of materials and processes to rainfall and runoff flows. If this not practical, a review of the feasibility of diverting
stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.; 2. Documentation of a list of significant spills or leaks that
have occurred during the last 3 years and associated corrective actions taken or the notation that no spills have occurred.
The significant spill information is included under the Spill Prevention and Response Procedures(SPRP) in the General
Permit.All components of the SPRP should be included in the SWPPP.A Solvent Management Plan will need to be
developed for the SWPPP and updated annually.Annual Training has not been recorded. The Stormwater Facility Inspection
program should include the inspection of all best management practices (BMP's), such as the ditch and berm being utilized.
The ditch and berm should also be listed in the Stormwater BMP Summary. The Site Map will need to include all information
as specified in General Permit NCG140000.Additional information should be included in the SWPPP about the removal of
waste material from the lagoon.
There were no Qualitative or Analytical Monitoring records available for review. The facility does not historically have an
Outfall but had previously been informed by this Office to document on the Discharge Monitoring Report form"No
Discharge". Discharge Monitoring Report forms have not been submitted since 2018. The facility has not registered for
on-line electronic submittal of Discharge Monitoring Report forms(eDMR). Registration for eDMR may be initiated by going
to the following link.:
https://www.deq.nc.gov/about/d ivisions/energy-mineral-and-I an d-resources/stormwater/stormwater-program/n pd es-i nd ustrial-
prog ram/stormwater-electron is-d ischarge-m on ito ri ng-reports-ed m r
The aboveground storage tank(AST)and best management practices being utilized by the facility were inspected. The lock
on the valve of the AST had been broken off and will need to be replaced. During the inspection an additional possible
wastewater outfall was observed downslope of a waste pile of asphalt and a gravel pile. On 8/24/2023, a follow-up inspection
of the possible outfall was conducted by Melissa Joyner and Evangelyn Lowery-Jacobs and it was determined that this
outfall had the potential to be a point source discharge of stormwater and would need to be an additional wastewater outfall
in which Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring will be required. The outfall location should be shown on the site map. The
waste pile of asphalt had been removed.
