This inspection evaluated the areas designated on the attached inspection form. Observations from each area are addressed below: 1. Permit CRIES Tobacco holds Certificate of Coverage # NCG060299 for the discharge of stormwater from the facility. The General Permit became effective February 15, 2007 and expires October 31, 2012. 2. Records/Reports Part II, Section A of the permit requires the development of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A copy of the SPPP was available for review. The plan contained all of the items required by the stormwater permit. Please note that the permit requires the plan to be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. 3. Facility Site Review The site appeared clean and well managed. No concerns or problems were noted. 4. Effluent/Receiving Waters Stormwater runoff from the facility reaches an unnamed tributary to Run Creek, Class °C waters in the Yadkin/Pee-Dee River Basin.

Monitorinq Program Part ll, Section B of the permit requires that semi-annual qualitative (visual) monitoring be performed and documented once in the spring (April - June) and once in the fall (September — November). A review of the facility files found that the qualitative monitoring has been conducted as required. Part II, Section B of the permit requires that analytical monitoring be performed. A review of the facility files found that the analytical monitoring has been conducted as required. The analytical monitoring for on -site vehicle maintenance listed in Section C of the permit is not required since CRIES Tobacco uses less than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year. Our office appreciates the efforts by you and your staff at the CRIES Tobacco facility to comply with the NPDES General Stormwater Permit.
