Mr. Nelson:
On August 7, 2019 a site inspection was conducted for the Mountaire Farms, Inc. facility located at the
1101 E. Third Street Facility, Chatham County, North Carolina. A copy of the Compliance Inspection
Report is enclosed for your review. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject facility is
covered by NPDES Stormwater General Permit-NCG060000, Certificate of Coverage-NCG060383.
Permit coverage authorizes the discharge of stormwater from the facility to receiving waters designated
as Loves Creek, a Class C waterbody in the Cape Fear River Basin.
As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to be in non compliance with the conditions of the
NCGO60000 permit. We request a response to the comments within 30 days from the receipt of this
document. Please refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and
observations made during the inspection.
Please be advised that violations of the NPDES Stormwater General Permit are subject to a civil
penalty assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. If you or your staff has any
questions, comments, or needs assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit, please contact
me at [phone] or by e-mail at Thad.valentineOncdenr.00v.

Permit: NCGO60383 Owner - Facility: Mountaire Farms Inc
Inspection Dale: 08107/2019 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluat on Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
To date only one outfall sample point has been sampled, The permit indicates three sample points and the facility site map
shows two outfalls. Clearly there have been errors implementing the permit requiremnets concerning sample locations, and
after a review of the site map with an enlarged view of the stormwater system, it appears that there should be additional
sample points added that are not depicted on any maps. lncluded in the samples should be the untreated stormwater
discharging off site that is being introduced into the bypass storm drain from the Hwy 64 at MJB-1. That stormwater outlets
below the facility and dischrges below East Raleigh Street. The stormwater that is being treated from MJB-1 is only the first
30 minutes of a rain event, so untreated overflows into MJB-2 and into the bypass storm drain that should somehow be
treated as well. A detailed investigation into exactly where all the disharge points are and where untreated stormwater is
entering the system should be undertaken. Once all the discharge points have been identified and the issue with discharging
untreated stormwater has been resolved a detailed report should be sent to DENR regional office..
