Analytical results and DMRswere reviewed for consistency and found to be accurate. The composite sampling program was reviewed and was found to be in compliance with permit conditions. No violations of permit conditions or applicable regulations were observed during this inspection. Other observations made during the inspection include several containment areas where process overflows had occurred. Most of these overflows appeared to have been contained with the exception of the gypsum staging area where some material had been pushed over the containment wall. This area was being cleaned at the time of inspection. Also observed at the outfall was an area which had been en ded during a recent storm event. Regarding the construction storm water pond and the impacted area on the riverbank, a 404 is not required if the repair work is all above the ordinary high water mark. If you are going to remove any sediment below the ordinary high water mark you should contact us and the Army Corps to discuss. page# 2 Permit: N00089109 Center- Facility: RutherorC County Production Facility Inspection Oak: 09/t]IY014 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Record Keeping.
