Inspection Summary
Melissa Joyner met with Mr. James Winegar, Environmental Manager and Steve Smith, YID 60 Manager at the CmniSource
Southeast - Raeford facility. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan was orderly, containing the information required by
General Permit NCG200000. The Analytical and Qualitative monitoring forms were reviewed. The benchmark value for two
consecutive samples of Copper was exceeded in June and August 2015. Monthly monitoring for Copper was initiated in
September 2016. The other parameters were notmonitored monthly until May 2017. In December 2017, exceedances of
benchmark values for Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Lead and Zinc were also noted. In July 2018, TSS and Lead were not
sampled. After July 2018, no additional monitoring was conducted. The facility is currently in Tier Three due to more than
four exceedanoes of benchmark values of Copper and four exceedances of Zinc. Qualitative Monitoring was conducted
semi-annually and was not increased to a monthly basis after the facility was in Tier Two. Analytical and Qualitative monthly
monitoring will need to be conducted until there are three. consecutive. sample results below the benchmark value. Sampling
periods when no sampling is able to be conducted does not count. If new permitting cycle begins, the facility is still
required to do monthly monitoring until the Tier Three response obligations are met. A report should be submitted to this
Office in regards to the evaluation of the measures as applicable under Tier Three.
Thefacilityhas one outfall. Slag is being usedas a filter at the mouthofthe outfall. It had been impacted by recent storm..
events and was in need of maintenance. There were scrap pieces of metal and dirt on the ground near the drop inlet which is -
-associated with the outall. Maintenance is necessary as well as the installation of additional protective measures.
