Permit: NCS000348 Owner - Facility: CPI USA North Carolina LLC
Inspection Date: 05/18/2021 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Met with Randy Mussellwhite, new manager of the closed plant. The plant closed on March 31, 2021. The plant will be
demolished including excavation of about 3 feet, to ensure no contaminants remain. Stockpiles of material have been
removed. The demo will need an erosion control plan.
The sampling has been conducted according to permit requirements. The facility can submit a representative outfall status
request to sample at the outfall by the train tracks.
There is a state stormwater permit SW8 090511. The permit is a high density permit that includes an underground sand
filter. The permit will need to be transferred to the land owner per permit document:
Please be aware that it is the responsibility of the permit holder, CPI USA North Carolina, LLC,
to notify DWQ of any changes in ownership and request an ownership/name change for the stormwater permit. However, if
the lease agreement or contract between CPI USA North Carolina, LLC, and Duke Energy Progress, Inc., dba Duke Energy
Progress is dissolved, cancelled or defaulted, and DWQ is not notified by CPI USA North Carolina, LLC, to transfer the
permit, then the responsibility for permit compliance reverts back to the property owner. As the property owner, Duke
Energy Progress, Inc., dba Duke Energy Progress must notify DWQ immediately of the permit ownership change and
submit a completed Name/Ownership form to DWQ within 30 days. Otherwise Duke Energy Progress, Inc., dba Duke
Energy Progress, will be operating a stormwater treatment facility without a valid permit. This is a violation of NC General
Statute 143-215.1 and may result in appropriate enforcement action including the assessment of civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day, being taken against the property owner, Duke Energy Progress, Inc., dba Duke Energy Progress.
The SW8090511 state stormwater permit will need to be renewed prior to transfer. Consult with Christine Hall (see email)
regarding these actions.
