Inspection Summary:
Melissa Joyner met with Ken Hadaway, Airport Director, Steve Duffy, Public Services Director and John Duffy, GIS/GPS
Technician to conduct an industrial stormwater inspection at the Elizabethtown Airport.
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)was reviewed. There has been a recent change of personnel.A
Delegated Signature Authority(DOSA) and Permit Contact Update Request Form will need to be submitted reflective of
these changes.After this occurs registration should occur for the submittal of Analytical Discharge Monitoring reports
electronically(e-DMR). The following observations were made of the SWPPP.:
There should be a documented, signed and dated annual review of the SWPPP.The updated Tenant list should also include
updated narrative information about the Tenants. The Site Map should show the locations of the ditches and the direction of
the movement of the stormwater in these ditches. During the required quarterly facility inspections observations of the
ditches and outfalls should occur. As part of the Spill Prevention and Response Procedures(SPRP)there should be names
with dated signatures of all those involved with these responsibilities,including the Tenants. Please include all required
information for the SPRP as stipulated in General Stormwater Permit NCG150000 (Page 5 of 33).As part of the SPRP it is
required to annually document whether there have been significant spills or that none have occurred over the past three
years. There should also be annual documentation that the 5 Outfalls have been inspected for the presence of
non-stormwater. The required annual training of employees (including the Tenants) has not occurred. The facility(including
the current Tenants)does not have a Solvent Management Plan.A Certification statement about this must be developed and
included in the SWPPP-annually signed/dated. This information must be updated if one of the future Tenants does have
solvents.
No Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring records were available for review. Information was relayed about Qualitative and
Analytical Monitoring. Water sampling should occur within the first 30 minutes of the first measurable storm event which
occurs when there is enough rain to cause the outfalls to discharge. Conductivity and pH need to be tested within 15
minutes of collection with calibrated testing meters. The parameter Non-Polar Oil&Grease needs to be tested regardless of
whether the facility(including the Tenants) is using more than 55 gallons of new motor and/or hydraulic oil per month when
averaged over the calendar year.
The facility grounds were inspected, including the stormwater control measures,outfalls and Aboveground Storage Tanks.
Washing of vehicles is conducted outside and occurs on a concrete pad with water sheet flowing to a nearby grassy area.
Vehicle maintenance occurs indoors. The facility grounds appeared orderly.
The facility is not in compliance due to not implementing the SWPPP and doing the Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring per
the conditions of General Stormwater Permit NCG150000. The facility will be inspected within 6 months of receiving this
Compliance Report.
