Inspection Summary:
Kelly Jonas and Melissa Joyner met with Mr. Hank Gay, Environmental and Maintenance Manager, to conduct an industrial
stormwater inspection at the S &W Ready Mix Concrete facility in Elizabethtown, Bladen County, NC. The Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP)was reviewed per the conditions of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES)General Permit NCG140000.The current SWPPP was dated March 18, 2023, and appeared to be complete and
well organized.The detailed Site Map needs to include topographic contours, percent impervious in the drainage area,
latitude/longitude of the outfall, and all control measures. No spills were noted in the plan, though none had occurred within
the last three years. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)needs to include a list of responsible parties with
dated signatures, as well as a list of response controls and their locations.The facility does not use solvents, and a
certification was in the SWPPP; however it did not include the specific verbiage as indicated in the General Permit
NCG140000 Section B-10.
The facility does not conduct any vehicle maintenance or cleaning at the facility.The facility has one diesel aboveground
storage tank(AST)and one admixtures AST, both which are double walled and locked.
Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring forms were reviewed and appeared complete. The facility recently registered on eDMR
in order to submit Analytical Monitoring results electronically.
The facility grounds were inspected, including the ASTs and the outfalls.The facility appeared to be well-maintained.
The following corrective actions are required: 1. Update the detailed Site Map to include topographic contours, percent
impervious in the drainage area, latitude/longitude of the outfall, and all control measures; 2. Document any significant spills
within the last three years, or a statement indicating no spills had occurred; 3.Update the SPRP to include a list of
responsible parties with dated signatures and a list of response controls with their locations;4. Update the no solvent usage
certification to include the verbiage listed in the General Permit NCG140000 Section B-10.
