Inspection Summary:
Melissa Joyner and Kelly Jonas met with Daniel Godwin,Service Center Manager at the TForce Freight- Fayetteville facility.
Since Ken Recke is no longer the legally responsible person for this permit a Permit Contact Update Request Form will
need to be submitted which may be accessed at:
https://www.deq.nc.gov/about/d ivisions/energy-mineral-and-land-resources/stormwater/stormwater-program/npdes-industrial-
program
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)was reviewed. It had been previously updated in 2021 but not since this
time period. The list of Responsible Parties and their responsibilities was not noted in the SWPPP. The Site Map should
include the latitude and longitude locations of the three outfalls. Numbered contours should also be shown on the Site Map.
In the SWPPP it was noted in 2021 that the facility did not have significant spills over the last three years. This information
needs to be recorded annually. Neither a stormwater Best Management Practices summary nor a Spill Prevention and
Response Plan was included in the SWPPP. Facility employees had not received the required annual training.
There was no information provided about the annual evaluation of the possible non-stormwater discharges from the outfalls.
Solvents are utilized by the facility. A Solvent Management Plan will need to be developed and included in the SWPPP. The
Qualitative Monitoring records were reviewed.Analytical Monitoring is not applicable because this facility uses less than 55
gallons of new motor and/or hydraulic oil per month when averaged over the calendar year.
The facility's three outfalls and Best Management Practices were observed.There were no Aboveground Storage Tanks at
this facility whose grounds appeared orderly.
