Inspection Summary:
A stormwater inspection was conducted on October 18, 2023.Aiding this inspection was Edward Watson with the Division
of Water Resources.
During the inspection, only the documentation of employee training and detailed site map were present from the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).All sections of the SWPPP must be up to date and available on site.
Qualitative monitoring was being conducted on site per permit requirements. However, only outfalls 1 and 5 were being
sampled for analytical monitoring. As of this inspection, no representative outfall status has been approved by NCDEQ. All
outfalls with stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity must be sampled for analytical monitoring of
parameters outlined in the permit. Additionally, multiple no-flows have been reported for the outfalls sampled. It was
recommended that due to the high number of no-flows being reported, the site should document no-flow events in the
discharge monitoring reports with photographic evidence.
The site is currently in Tier 3 status for copper and zinc. No corrective action plan for the benchmark exceedances has been
received by NCDEQ. During the inspection a document outlining actions taken on site was produced when this was stated.
This document is not a corrective action plan for benchmark exceedances, but an outline of zinc management and
installation of metal removing SCMs required by the permit in sections B-10 and B-11.
All outfalls on site were observed with no visible issues at the time of the inspection.
Based upon the inspection conducted the facility is not compliant. The facility must:
- Begin documenting no-flows with photographic evidence.
-Submit an action plan for the tier III benchmark exceedances of copper and zinc to NCDEQ Mooresville Regional Office.
- Immediately begin analytical monitoring for all other industrial stormwater outfalls on site.
-Within 30 days, submit a copy of the full Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan to the NCDEQ Mooresville Regional Office.
