REGAN sccretary LINDA CULPEPPER Director Lucille Robinson, Owner I06-B Wicker Court Roanoke Rapids, NC 27870 Dear Ms. Robinson: NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality July 26, 2019 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Robbie's Texaco (Former) Groundwater Remediation Facility NPDES Permit NCG5I0352 Halifax County On Wednesday, July 17, 2019, Zach Thomas and Chris Smith of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the groundwater remediation facility located at the former Robbie's Texaco. The purpose of this inspection was to ensure compliance with the subject NPDES permit. The facility is Iocated at the intersection of NC Hwy 561 and 1-95 in Halifax County. A file review revealed that the permit was renewed effective November 21, 2016 and that all associated fees have been paid. In addition, previous inspections indicate the facility appears to be abandoned. During the July 17" site visit, the inspectors confirmed that the site still appears to be abandoned. The entire area was overgrown with vegetation and was difficult to access. The building door was unlocked and open at the time of inspection. The structure's electrical service meter appeared empty, indicating the building did not have power for permitted operations. All other equipment and wells at the facility appeared idle or abandoned and in disrepair. There were also multiple 55 gallon drums outside of the facility with minimal or no proper identifiers. Due to what appears to be abandonment of the facility, DWR recommends the permit be rescinded and that all equipment and materials onsite are disposed of in accordance with local, State, and Federal laws. A copy of this inspection report will be sent to the department's UST section for further review. Qj North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources o �-- ...
