On June 8, 2018, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Energy, Mineral
and Land Resources (DEMLR), conducted a site inspection for the tract/project known as
Gillikin Marine Railways located in Carteret County, North Carolina. The site drains to the
Newport River, which is currently classified as Class SA HQW Waters in the White Oak River
Basin.
The following observations were noted during the DEMLR inspection (please see the attached
addendum for additional information about your permit):
1. A stormwater pollution prevention plan has not been developed and implemented and is a
violation of Permit Condition Part II Section A.
2. Analytical sampling has not occurred for the site and is a violation of Permit Condition
Part II Section B which requires semi-annual sampling for 7 parameters.
3. Qualitative sampling has not occurred for the site and is a violation of Permit Condition
Part II Section C which requires semi-annual observations for 9 parameters.
4. The site needs general housekeeping and implementation of best management practices
to keep potential pollution sources from entering stormwater discharges.
5. Spill prevention and response procedures need to be implemented. Petroleum products
found on site were spilled on the ground.
