Permit: NCG030478 Owner-Facility:Columbus McKinnon-Wadesboro Oprs
Inspection Date: 11/02/2023 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Melissa Joyner and Kelly Jonas met with Lily Hans (Corporate EHS Manager),Worley Johnson (EHS Plant Manager) and
James Clark (Plant Manager),to conduct an industrial stormwater inspection of the Columbus McKinnon-Wadesboro
Operations facility. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) was reviewed per the conditions of the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit NCG030000. The current plan was dated October 2023,
and appeared fairly complete. The facility had recently received it from their engineering consultant, and was still in the
process of reviewing and completing the certifications. The detailed site map needs to be updated to include topographic
lines and percent of impervious area in the drainage area. The annual employee training had not been conducted as of the
date of the inspection, but was being scheduled.
Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring has not been conducted per the conditions of the General Stormwater Permit
NCG030000. Quarterly good housekeeping inspections have not been documented. Annual evaluation of the presence of
non-stormwater(illicit)discharges in the stormwater outlets has not been completed and documented.
The facility grounds were inspected, including the outfalls, including Outfalls 02 and 04. Outfalls 01, 02 and 03 flow into
Outfall 04. Therefore,the facility only needs to conduct quarterly Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring of Outfall 04. The
facility grounds appeared to be well-maintained.
The following actions are recommended: 1. Complete implementing the updated SWPPP, including certifications and
employee training.; 2. Update the Site Map to include the topographic lines and percentage impervious.; 3. Conduct
quarterly Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring per the conditions of the General Permit NCG03000O.; 4. Document
inspections of the quarterly good housekeeping inspections.; 5. Conduct the annual evaluation of the presence of
non-stormwater(illicit)discharges in the stormwater outlets.; 6. Moving forward, conduct annual review and certification of
the SWPPP.; 7. Maintain a rain gauge at the facility.
