Inspection Date: 07/25/2019 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
An inspection of the Taylor Express, Inc. facility was conducted with Lisa Kuykendall, Facility Manager. The Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was reviewed. Robert Taylor, the facility's former President, has been replaced by William
Champine. This information will need to be updated in the SPPP and an Owner Designation/Affiliation form submitted
electronically, using this link: https://deq.nc.gov/aboutidivisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/npdes-industrial-stormwater.
The following items in the SPPP have not been implemented: Documentation of the annual review and update of the SPPP,
an updated list of significant spills or leaks or the notation that no spills have occurred, recertification that the stormwater
Outfall 1 has been evaluated for non-stormwater discharges, conducting/documenting facility inspections semi-annually,
documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the Best Management Practices, implementing/conducting employee
training and providing an updated table or summary of all Aboveground Storage Tanks (AST's) and their associated
secondary containment structures.
The Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring records were reviewed. Monitoring was documented once in November, 2017 and
once in January, 2019. Earlier records were not available. The amount of new motor oil usage or hydraulic oil usage
(gal./month) was not being estimated. In January, 2019, the Non -Polar Oil & Grease benchmark value was exceeded. This
was a violation of General Permit NCGO80000 conditions. Tier One responses, according to the conditions in General Permit
NCGO80000 were not enacted. If there is another exceedance during the next monitoring period, the facility will be in Tier
Two and will need to initiate monthly monitoring for all parameters until there are three consecutive sample results below the
benchmark value or within benchmark range. Sampling results must be submitted to the Regional Office within 30 days from
the date that facility receives the sampling results. The annual Summary Data Monitoring Report form has not been
completed and submitted.
The facility grounds were inspected. Secondary containment was not previously but is now installed around the oil tanks and
the air compressor. There was fresh oil on the ground from a pump next to the containment structure. Also, there was
staining under another pump near the exterior of the roof, not within this structure. Pollution prevention measures need to be
provided for this area or it should be relocated within the existing structure. This area was located upslope of the concrete
swale leading to Outfall 1. The concrete swale had sediment in it and needed maintenance. Containers containing used
anti -freeze which were to be removed from the facility grounds did not have lids on them and one of the containers was
leaking antifreeze onto the concrete pad beneath it.
