Inspection Summary:
Melissa Joyner and Kelly Jonas met with Hector Moreno, Service Center Manager to conduct an industrial stormwater
inspection at the Fedex Freight, Inc. - Fayetteville facility. Since Mr. Moreno is now in charge of the permit and is the facility
contact person, a Permit Update Contact Request Form needs to be completed and submitted. This form may be accessed
at the following link:
https.//edoes.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW-Permit-Contact-Updates
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)was reviewed. It was noted that the SWPPP had been reviewed in 2021
and in 2023.There were no records of the required annual SWPPP review for previous years. The site map will need to
include topography, show the delineated drainage area for Outfall-001, include the latitude and longitude location of the
outfall and label the property boundary.A list of significant spills or leaks or the notation that this has not occurred over the
past 3 years needs to be included in the SWPPP and updated annually. The list of personnel in charge of the Spill
Prevention and Response Procedures should also include their signatures. Information about the location of the spill
response materials should be provided. Solvents are not being utilized by the facility. There needs to be a certification
statement about this information in the SWPPP.
The Qualitative Monitoring forms were reviewed for Outfall-001.No Analytical Monitoring of Outfall-001 has occurred which
has been required to be conducted quarterly since July 1, 2021, per the conditions of NCG General.An on-site rain gauge
will need to be installed. If the rain data is collected electronically,the source must be located within one mile of the facility.
Ph will need to be measured with a calibrated Ph meter within 15 minutes of the collection of the sample.After the water
sampling results are received from a water laboratory, the information must be recorded on a Discharge Monitoring Report
Form (DMR). On-line registration needs to occur prior to uploading these forms.At the following link one can register and
access the DMRs. The Permit Update Contact Request Form should be completed and submitted prior to doing the on-line
registration.
