program
This facility is in the process of closing down, Since August 2023 active operations have ceased. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP)was reviewed. It has not been annually certified as the SWPPP was dated 2009. No other
SWPPPs were available for review. The responsible party's name for the permit will need to be updated. Records were not
observed for the annual documentation of significant spills or the notation that this had not occurred during the past three
years. There was no annual documentation that the outfall had been inspected for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. The information for the Spill Prevention and Response Team will need to be updated with the name of the
Primary SWPPP Coordinator. Employee Training is not occurring as there are no longer employees at the facility. No
records of previous Employee training were available for review. The stormwater facility inspection program had not been
implemented.The Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring records were reviewed. Between 2015-2017 Analytical and
Qualitative Monitoring was being conducted twice per year. In 2018 the monitoring occurred once per year and in 2019 no
monitoring occurred.A data sheet was reviewed which contained information from these years as well as for 2020-2023
when Analytical Monitoring and Qualitative Monitoring was occurring once per year. The actual monitoring records for
2020-2023 were not available for review. In the hard file Discharge Monitoring forms were found for the second half of 2020,
2021 and 2022. Benchmark exceedances of several parameters had occurred.There were no Tier One or Tier Two
responses noted in the SWPPP. It will be necessary to register for e-DMR to upload the completed Analytical Discharge
Monitoring Reports on-line. Please go to the following link to do so:
https://www.deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-and-land-resources/stormwater/stormwater-program/npdes-industrial-
program/stormwater-electronic-discharge-monitoring-reports-edmr
The facility grounds were inspected. There were several locations where there were totes containing hazardous substances
(maelic, phosporic and sulfuric acids)per the Clean Water Act. The totes should be put inside of a building. Alternatively, if
the totes remain outside, full and empty ones, they will need to be put in containment structure(s). The containment
structure(s)will need to be able to hold the capacity(not volume)of the largest tote. It(they)should also be able to contain
a 25-year, 24-hour storm event. There were three totes observed which contained uncovered, colored liquid. Another tote wa
leaking on the ground. There were also piles of waste debris (metal, plastic and rubber)which are in the process of being
disposed of.
This facility is not in compliance with the conditions of NPDES Stormwater Permit NCS000236 and will be inspected within
6 months of the issuance of this Compliance Inspection report.
