To whom it may concern: Please find enclosed stormwater sampling results for Stormwater Discharge Outfalls #001 and #002 for the Cleveland facility in the month of November 2019. The storm water samples were collected on November 12, 2019. Results from this sampling event show exceedances at SDO #001 for TSS and SDO #002 for zinc. For the TSS sample, the lab indicates that there was a container leak that was not detected until nearly all of the sample had leaked out. The sample was analyzed but the results may be biased high as the remaining volume likely contains more suspended solids than the fully homogenized sample. Therefore, this result was not reported on the DMR. Included with the November 2018 Discharge Monitoring Report Cleveland facility provide re - notification under the NPDES General Permit No. NCG030000, effective November 1, 2018 that the facility remains in Tier Three for SDO 001 and SDO 002. Daimler Trucks Cleveland facility is awaiting notification from the Division of Water Quality as to what changes will occur when entering into Tier Three of the NPDES General Permit. Should you have any questions, please contact me at 704-645-5353 or lindsev.speed@daimler.com.

(Shield) successfully collected a monthly stormwater sample for Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) 9001 and SDO #002 at the Cleveland facility in the month of November 2019. During the November 12th sampling event, Shield's field measurements of pH were 7.84 and 8.47, respectively, at SDO #001 and SDO #002. The analytical results of the stormwater sample collected during the qualifying storm event on November 12th, 2019 are attached to this cover letter. In addition, the Qualitative Monitoring Report (QMR) forms and the partially completed Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) form are attached to this cover letter. The QMRs should be kept onsite. Results from the sampling event show exceedances at SDO 4001 for TSS and SDO 4002 for zinc. For the TSS sample, the lab indicates that there was a container leak that was not detected until nearly all of the sample had leaked out. The sample was analyzed but results may be biased high as the remaining volume likely contains more suspended solids than the fully homogenized sample. Therefore, this result was not reported on the DMR. Daimler's Cleveland facility remains in Tier Three of the NPDES General Permit No. NCG030000 at SDO #001 for Copper. The facility remains in 'Pier Three at SDO #002 for Copper and "Zinc. The person designated to act as the permittee by Daimler Trucks — Cleveland Facility should complete all "Red" sections of the attached Stormwater Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR). The completed DMR form should then be mailed to the regulatory agency Central Files. Shield greatly appreciates the opportunity to provide environmental services to Daimler Trucks of North America.

' Total Toxic Organics sampling is applicable only for those facilities which perform metal finishing operations, manufacture semiconductors, manufacture electronic crystals, or manufacture cathode ray tubes. For purposes of this permit the definition of Total Toxic Organics is that definition contained in the EPA Effluent Guidelines for the facility subject to the requirement to sample (for metal finishing use the definition as found in 40 CFR 433.11; for semiconductor manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.12; for electronic crystal manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.22; and for cathode ray tube manufacture use the definition found in 40 CFR 469.31).
