The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)was reviewed. The following are comments about the SWPPP review.: There was an Annual Review of the SWPPP noted for 2024 but not for 2020, 2021 and 2023. The Site Map should show the location of any ditches on the property. The drainage area for the outfall should be shown and the percent impervious area of the drainage area indicated. Arrows pointing out the direction of the stormwater flow should be provided. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan should include the names of all personnel involved with this plan, with their dated signatures. There was documentation in 2024 of no spills having occurred at the facility for the past three years but no annual documentation was noted for previous years. There was a record observed in 2024 of the statement about checking for the presence of non-stormwater in the outfall,but not for previous years. The Good Housekeeping inspections of the stormwater control measures (SCMs) had occurred on 2/28/2022, 5/30/2022, and 8/28/2024. These inspections will need to occur quarterly per the conditions of General Permit NCG030000.The Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring records were reviewed. At the time of the inspection there were Qualitative Monitoring forms for 9/13/2024, 2020 and 2019 noted.In regards to Analytical Monitoring, the facility is currently in Tier 3 and doing monthly monitoring due to the exceedances of the benchmark parameter for Copper which occurred on 12/15/2022, 6/7/2023, 12/11/2023 and on 7/16/2024. The facility grounds were inspected, including the outfall,SCMs and AST with no issues. The facility is not in compliance with the conditions of General Permit NCG030000 for not fully implementing the SWPPP and not doing Qualitative Monitoring quarterly since the activation of the new General Permit on July 1, 2021. The facility will be reinspected within 6 months of receiving this Compliance Inspection Report.
