Shane,
I inspected Case Farms (NCG060392) on April 30, 2019. 1 met with Jason Hicks, Michael Rash, Phil Richardson, and
William Pate on site.
During the inspection, the following items were noted:
1) On page 3, question 13, of the NOI "No" is checked concerning vehicle maintenance. Vehicle maintenance is
conducted at the facility. They maintain the trucks used for shipping. After discussing the maintenance area with
the manager of the garage section, it was discovered that they also use in excess of 55 gallons/month of oil as
well. I informed Mr. Pate about the change in hos Analytical monitoring requirements. What I did not know was
if you would need them to resubmit the NOI correcting the issue.
2) There was some confusion concerning the current and proposed site conditions relating to their storm water
infrastructure. I informed Mr. Pate that this will be the primary element moving forward concerning his SWPPP.
3) Their appeared to be a very high potential for process waste to get into the storm drains. I anticipate various
benchmark issues.
4) Due to the buildup of feathers and other organic debris in the storm drains, I anticipate issues with COD in
particular, and will specifically look for them to address storm drain preventative maintenance in their SWPPP.
5) There was one area of the facility where process water was not being contained. Mr. Pate has assured be that
those areas will be addressed ASAP.
If you have any other questions, or would like to see pictures, just let me know.
Thanks,
Isaiah
