Inspection Summary:
Ms. Melissa Joyner and Ms. Kelly Jonas met with Mr. John Ffleger, Regional Compliance Evaluation Manager, Mr. Jeremy
Freeman, General Manager, Mr. Lance Edwards, Operations Manager and Mr. Jim Frei,Consultant at the Waste Industries,
LLC-Hope Mills facility to conduct an industrial stormwater inspection.The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
was reviewed and contained the majority of the required information per the conditions of General Permit NCGO80000A list
of significant spills or leaks of pollutants or the notation that no spills have occurred during the past three years should be
included in the SWPPP and updated annually. In 2021,there was a certification statement that there was no presence of
non-stormwater in the outfall. This information should be documented annually.
Analytical monitoring records were reviewed for Outfall SDO-003 and Qualitative monitoriing records were reviewed for
Outfalls SDO-002 and SDO-003. Our Office had been notified on December 6, 2023 about Tier 1 Exceedances which had
occurred for TSS on November 30, 2022 (156 mg/L) and on June 22, 2023((340 mg/L). Since this last exceedance a plan of
action had occurred with the removal of sediment at the Outfall, restructuring of a gravel filter around the pond riser structure
and installing of filters under the stormwater grates. This was observed during the facility grounds inspection. Monitoring of
Outfall SDO-001 has not Occurred since 2012 when the outfall was modified and there was no longer a point source
discharge at this Outfall. Outfall SDO-003 has not been monitored since a Petition Requesting Representative Outfall Status
(ROS)letter was sent to Mr. Bradley Bennett on April 10, 2012.An official response had not been received from Mr. Bennett.
It was determined during the inspection of the outfalls that SDO-002 could have ROS for SDO-002 and SDO-003 with
Analytical Monitoring only occurring at SDO-002 and Qualitative Monitoring occurring at both SDO-002 and SOO-003.As a
reminder, the facility must notify DEQ in writing if any changes to the facility or its operations take place that may affect the
ROS. If ROS no longer applies, the facility must resume monitoring of all outfalls as specified in their NPDES permit. Also,
the facility must request reissuance of ROS by submitting a written request to the'Division's Central Office within thirty(30)
days prior to the expiration of General Permit NCGO80000 to maintain ROS. In a-DMR the outfalls for the facility are defined
as Outfall 1 (no longer existing)and Outfall 2 instead of as Outfall 2 and Outfall 3. Please notify Ms. Brittany Cook about the
correct, updated information of the outfalls. She may be contacted at [e-mail] or at 919-707-3648.
