Dear Rod Johnson:

On January 31, 2024, Lauren Bradley of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services (CMSWS) conducted
an inspection of the above referenced facility as a requirement of the City of Charlotte’s NPDES Permit,
NCS000240, Part II, Section H. Inspection authority is granted by Charlotte City Code Chapter 18, Article III,
Section 18-82. At the time of inspection, the facility was observed to be in compliance with the City of Charlotte
Storm Water Pollution Control Ordinance; however, the following observations were made:

1) Charlotte Storm Water Pollution Control Ordinance Review
 Vehicle/Equipment area – Staining was observed under the used oil tote and an empty oil drum. CMSWS
recommends promptly and properly cleaning all leaks and spills to protect water quality.

The inspection was also conducted as part of a cooperative working agreement between Mecklenburg County
and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) – Division of Energy, Mineral and Land
Resources (DEMLR). NCDEQ – DEMLR has been copied on this report and made aware of the following
observations regarding the facility’s NPDES stormwater permit:

2) Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
