Permit: NCG130082 owner - Facility: Polyreps Inc
Inspection Date: 06/11/2019 Inspection type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The facility was instructed to obtain an industrial stormwater permit by the City of Monroe when the water plant noticed
plastics in its filters. The facility obtained the permit and maintained the outlets, but has failed to develop and implement a
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan required by the permit. The facility regularly uses a street sweeper to pick up spilled
plastic pieces and plastic was observed near the road ditch where the third outlet is located. It is recommended to use the
sweeper along the main road as well to prevent a discharge of plactic through the third outlet. If you have any questions,
please contact me at [e-mail] or by phone at [phone].
