Permit: NCGO80331 Owner - Facility: Ezzell Trucking Inc
Inspection Date: 01/30/2019 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Facility renewed permit coverage effective November 1, 2018. Inspection conducted on January 30, 2019 as a follow-up to
the inspection conducted on December 20, 2013, which resulted in the issuance of a Notice of Violation. Met with Mr. Alan
Darr, Safety Manager, who provided the facility's analytical monitoring records from the time period after the previous
inspection to this inspection for review. Records indicate that monitoring results consistently met the benchmark values
contained in the previous permit cycle, however sampling was conducted and recorded only once per year from 2014 to 2017
instead of semi-annually as required by the permit and there were no monitoring records for 2018. Qualitative monitoring,
which is also required to be conducted semi-annually, was conducted and recorded only once for 2014 and once for 2015
with no records for 2016 to 2018. At the time of inspection, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the facility
could not be provided for review. After the records review, observations of site conditions were made to include the facility's
fueling station, oil/water separator, above ground fuel tanks with secondary containment structure, stormwater pond and
discharge outfall. Facility appeared to be well operated and maintained. A copy of a SWPPP dated February 7, 2019 was
provided to the inspector by Mr. Darr via e-mail on February 8, 2019 as agreed upon during the inspection. A review of the
SWPPP was conducted and while it contains the basic components as required by the NCG080000 permit, some
recommendations and comments were sent by the inspector to Mr. Darr via e-mail on February 11, 2019.
