Permit: NCG080933 Owner - Facility: Fedex Ground Package System Inc
Inspection Date: 02/27/2019 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
On February 27, 2019, Melissa Joyner met with Cordelia Howell, Senior Manager and Lynn Holmes, Operations
Administrator at the FedEx Ground - South Fayetteville facility. At the time of the inspection The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP) was not available and not reviewed. Ms. Joyner reinspected the facility on 3/26/2019 to review the
SPPP. It appeared orderly. Neither annual training nor semi-annual facility inspections had been conducted in 2016 and
2017 in accordance with the conditions of expired General Permit NCG080000. Annual training had been completed in
February 2019.
During the initial inspection, it was determined that Qualitative Monitoring had not been conducted since the facility's
Certificate of Coverage was issued on June 5, 2015, in accordance with the conditions of General Permit NCGO80000.
Qualitative Monitoring should be done semi-annually and the Qualitative Monitoring Form retained with the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan. If there is no discharge, this information should be noted on the form. Analytical Monitoring is not
required because the facility only performs brake maintenance on the trailers, using less than 55 gallons of hydraulic oil per
month.
Outfalls One and Two and the facility grounds were inspected. Outfall One and Two had no issues but the diversion ditch
leading to Outfall One had a bare slope which needed stabilization with groundcover. There were three subdrains near Outfall
One which needed maintenance with the removal of sediment. In the parking lot, near Outfall Two, dirt and an oil stain was
observed. There were also oil stains under the stationary truck trailers. The dirt and stains should be removed and it is
recommended that the sources of the oil stains be determined with preventative maintenance activities initiated. The
dumpster did not have a lid on it and some trash bags were on the ground. A lid should be utilized on the dumpster and the
trash bags removed from the ground.
