NCG100000 is a general permit allowing stormwater runoff to be discharged from auto wrecking and salvage yards. The stormwater permit program is administered by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Stormwater Permitting Unit. Why is this permit important? Stormwater permits are required for many businesses that have a potential to pollute North Carolina's streams, rivers, and lakes. For several common industries, DWQ provides general permits so that businesses don't have to spend extra time and money to develop a special, individual permit. In addition to auto wrecking and salvage yards, general permits have been developed for industries such as mining sites, ready -mix concrete sites, construction sites, and landfills. Who needs it? • Auto salvage yards (Used Auto Parts —SIC 5015) and scrap yards (Scrap and Waste Materials— SIC 5093) • Excludes wholesale metal waste and scrap operations (a subset of SIC 5093; covered by a different permit, NCG20) SIC = Standard Industrial Classification (1) Photo from—http://www.sasforks.com/ What's new in 2012? • Ethylene glycol benchmark revi- sion (8,000 mg/1 for Tiers 2, 3) • Total Suspended Solids (TSS) benchmark for sensitive waters (HQW, etc.) more stringent • Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) or "Non -polar Oil & Grease" with EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM) monitoring • New "measurable storm event" • Addresses "adverse weather" • Qualitative Monitoring Response What does this permit require me to do? Among other things, the permit • Site map shoing: drainage requires the owner/operator to Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan areas, directiown of flow, and do the following important items • Have a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) • Keep pollutants away from rainwater (oils,-anti=freeze- etc.), and control runoff from your site by Best Management Practices (BMPs) Sample stormwater dis- charges during rain events Submit required reports and keep records as listed in the permit. An SPPP is a written plan for preventing stormwater runoff pollution. You must keep it on site and follow all activities listed -in it: It -must include:-- • Local map showing the facility location relative to streams and roadways • Sources of pollutants— a list of materials and activities that might pollute, like oil storage, or loading and unloading equipment and materials storage and handling locations • Management Strategv (how the site will reduce exposure and control- runoff,-BMPs, etc. • Spill Prevention and response procedures, in writing • Inspection schedule • Maintenance & housekeeping procedures • Employee training • Certification statement by owner PAGE NC GENERAL PERMIT FOR STORMWATER TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR NCG 100000 What does this permit require me to do? (continued) Best Mana ement Practices BMPs are required to prevent runoff pollution. Auto salvage yards have used a number of BMPs, including: • Good housekeeping (clean up oil storage areas and others) • Removing fluids (gasoline, oil, antifreeze, refrigerants, power steering, etc.) immediately upon receipt of vehicle AND on con- tainment pads to prevent spills • Removing and properly storag- ing (under cover) sensitive ma- terials such as batteries, tires, and mercury switches Preventing wash down and leaks from contacting the ground Maintaining erosion controls Records All records listed in the SPPP as well as monitoring records must be kept on site. How can I reduce my costs for monitoring? If you have more than one place where runoff leaves your site, you may request that DWQ grant you "representative outfall status." So, instead of sampling at three or four locations, you can sample at only one. DWQ will visit Where can I find forms? To apply for coverage tinder the must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) application. If you are ap- proved, you will receive a Certifi- cate of Coverage (COC) along with a copy of your permit. For a copy of the permit, monitor- ing forms, and other information, visit our website. Example BMP showing batteries stored above ground (on pallet) and undercover (inside storage building) Water Quality Monitoring The permit requires analytical stormwater monitoring by a lab, and qualitative monitoring (visual check) during a rainfall event at your site to see if representative outfall status is appropriate. Who inspects me and for what ? DWQ personnel from the regional office may visit the site and look to see if you have the permit, an acceptable SPPP, and evidence that you are following your SPPP. These inspections may be routine or the result of public complaints. each SDO (Stormwater Discharge Outfall). Both analytical and qualitative monitoring are re- quired twice per year, unless Tier 2 response actions are triggered. Stormwater sample being collected. Sample should be taken at SDO, which is typically at the lowest point before water leaves the property. Non -Compliance and Fines Take compliance seriously! Facilities that violate stormwater permit conditions are subject to fines. Civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day may be assessed for each violation. Who can help me with questions?

Other Information PART IV DEFINITIONS T Permit No. NCG100000 PARTI— INTRODUCTION SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE All persons desiring to have facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (N01) and applicable fees. The NOI shall be submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater associated with industrial activity to the surface waters of the state. Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A NCAC 2H .0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge. This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an activity covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may request that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be provided. If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of intent (N01) form to the Division; must receive approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually. Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant -loading limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to a specific impaired water. For discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate applicable water quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If DWQ determines that discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard violations, the facility shall apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of this General Permit. Once that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have coverage under this General Permit. Note that the permittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development) and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site Plan, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, Part 11, Section A. During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity. Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit. --- — Part I Page 1 of 2 Permit No. NCG100000 SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES Until coverage under this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina, or to a separate storm sewer system, which has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this General Permit. Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval. The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards. This permit does not relieve the permittee's responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, or decree. Part I Page 2 of 2 Permit No. NCG100000 PART 11— MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED DISCHARGES SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following: (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameters of concern are. (b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of Flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non- stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3. Part 11 Page 1 of 10 Permit No. NCG100000 2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: (a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to rainfall and run-on Flows. Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the Stormwater run-on away from areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials including petroleum products; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substancesin order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism). Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather Flow, prior to release of the accumulated Stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by,any material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated Stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. 3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific, Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. Part 11 Page 2 of 10 Permit No. NCG100000 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP. 5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi- annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the second half Quly to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part 11 B, C, and D of this permit. 6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided. 8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include: (a) an updated list ofsignificontspills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview); (b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy). (d) a review and comparison ofsample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website (See 'Monitoring Forms' here: httl2://portal,ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw). Part 11 Page 3 of 10 Permit No. NCG100000 The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. 9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs to prevent contaminants from entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. 10. Solvent Management Plan. Facilities that implement a Solvent Management Plan may so certify, and the requirement for Total Toxic Organics (TTO) monitoring in Part 11, Section B. may be waived. The Solvent Management Plan shall include: (a) an annually updated and quantified inventory of the total toxic organic compounds present on site during the previous three years; (b) a narrative description of the in -plant locations and uses of the toxic organic compounds, the method of disposal including quantities disposed on- and off -site; (c) the management procedures and engineering measures for assuring that toxic organics do not spill or leak into stormwater. DWQ may at its discretion require submittal, review, and approval of the Solvent Management Plan as a condition of continuing the TTO sampling waiver. For those facilities electing to employ the TTO sampling waiver, the permittee shall include the following signed certification statement on each discharge monitoring report: "Based upon my inquiry of the person orpersons directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit monitoring requirement for total toxic organics (TTO), I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, no leak, spill, or dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the stormwater or onto areas which are exposed to rainfall or storm water runoff has occurred since filing the last discharge monitoring report. I further certify that this facility is implementing all the provisions of the Solvent Management Plan included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan." Part 11 Page 4 of 10 Permit No. NCG100000 SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DWQ Regional Office. See Definitions. Table 1.

A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. DWQ's ROS letter remains in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit and as long as the pert- inent site conditions and operations remain unchanged, unless the ROS letter provides for other conditions or duration. 4 For purposes of this permit, the list of Total Toxic Organics is that list as stated in Appendix D, Table II of Chapter 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 122. Facilities that implement a Solvent Management Plan may so certify, and the requirement for TTO monitoring maybe waived. The Solvent Management Plan shall be incorporated as a separate chapter into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (See Part 11, Section A.10.). S For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge or local rain gauge reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted as part of other requirements of this permit. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part 111, Section E). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours.

Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge' from an outfall or inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period, for example, does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. The benchmark values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring under Tier Three, DWQ's release letter remains in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

Readings from an on -site or local rain gauge (or local precipitation data) must be documented to demonstrate background concentrations were below the benchmark pH range of 6-9. Part 11 Page 7 of 10 Permit No. NCGI00000 Tier One If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any Then: The permittee shall: 1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance. 3. Identify potential and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations within the benchmark range. 4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection. S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the (late and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the If: During the term of this permit, the first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flog' to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response. S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP. During the term of this permit, if the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. The Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease monitoring frequency for some or all parameters; • rescind coverage under the General Permit, and require that the permittee apply for an individual stormwater discharge permit; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or Part 11 Page 8 of 10 Permit No. NCG100000 SECTION C: STORMWATER DISCHARGES: ON -SITE VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS See Section B. above for analytical monitoring requirements. SECTION D: STORMWATER DISCHARGES: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assess new sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event. Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified in Table 6, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative sampling per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions). In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP. Table 6.

See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting cycle. The permittee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal process. 2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) regardless of representative outfall status. Part 11 Page 9 of 10 Permit No.NCG100000 A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit. If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, assessing new sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, The Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease monitoring frequency for some or all parameters (analytical or qualitative); • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

The Certificate of Coverage shall expire when the general permit is terminated. 7. Certificate of Coverage Actions The general permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated for cause. The notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any general permit condition [40 CFR 122.41(o]. Part III Page 5 of 10 Permit No. NCG100000 8. Annual Administering and Compliance Monitoring Fee Requirements The permittee must pay the administering and compliance monitoring fee within 30 (thirty) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee in timely manner in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b)(2) may cause this Division to initiate action to revoke coverage under the general permit SECTION C: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS 1. Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit [40 CFR 122.41(e)]. 2. Need to Halt or Reduce Not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this general permit [40 CFR 122.41(c)]. 3. Bypassing of Stormwater Control Facilities Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass unless: a. Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; and b. There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary control facilities, retention of stormwater or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime or dry weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and c. The permittee submitted notices as required under, Part III, Section E of this general permit If the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above, the Director may approve an anticipated bypass after considering its adverse effects. SECTION D: MONITORING AND RECORDS Representative Sampling Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Analytical sampling shall be performed during a measureable storm event Samples shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge. All samples shall be taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points as specified in this general permit shall not be changed without notification to and approval of the Permit Issuing Authority [40 CFR 122.410)]. PartIII Page 6 of 10 Permit No. NCGl00000 2. Recording Results For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this general permit, the permittee shall record the following information [40 CFR 122.411: a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements; b. The individual(s) who performed the sampling or measurements; c. The date(s) analyses were performed; d. The individual(s) who performed the analyses; e. The analytical techniques or methods used; and f. The results of such analyses. 3. Flow Measurements Where required, appropriate Flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. . 4. Test Procedures Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published pursuant to NCGS 143-21S.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136. To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this general permit, all test procedures must produce minimum detection and reporting levels and all data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below general permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method must be used. S. Representative 0 tfall If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status. If it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced number of outfalls. 6. Records Retention Qualitative monitoring shall be documented and records maintained at the facility along with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Copies of analytical monitoring results shall also be maintained on -site. The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including o all calibration and maintenance records, o all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation, o copies of all reports required by this general permit, o copies of all data used to complete the Notice of Intent to be covered by this general permit. These records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least 5 years from the date of the sample, measurement, report or Notice of Intent application. This period may be extended by request of the Director at any time [40 CFR 122.411. If this volume of records cannot be maintained on -site, the documents must be made available to an inspector upon request as immediately as possible. PartIII Page 7 of 10 Permit No.NCG100000 7. Inspection and Entry The permittee shall allow the Director, or an authorized representative (including an authorized contractor acting as a representative of the Director), or in the case of a facility which discharges through a municipal separate storm sewer system, an authorized representative of a municipal operator or the separate storm sewer system receiving the discharge, upon the presentation of credentials and other documents as may be required by law, to: a. Enter upon the permittee's premises where a regulated facility or activity is located or conducted, or where records must be kept under the conditions of this general permit; b. Have access to and copy, at reasonable times, any records that must be kept under the conditions of this general permit; c. Inspect at reasonable times any facilities, equipment (including monitoring and control equipment), practices, or operations regulated or required under this general permit; and d. Sample or monitor at reasonable times, for the purposes of assuring permit compliance or as otherwise authorized by the Clean Water Act, any substances or parameters at any location [40 CFR 122.41(i)]. SECTION E: REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this general permit shall be submitted to the Division on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms provided by the.Director. DMR forms are available on the Division's website (http://portal.ncdenr,or2/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw). Submittals shall be delivered to the Division no later than 30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. When no discharge has occurred from the facility during the report period, the permittee is required to submit a discharge monitoring report, within 30 days of the end of the specified sampling period, giving all required information and indicating "NO FLOW" as per NCAC T15A 02B.0506. If the permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this general permit using test procedures approved under 40 CFR Part 136 and at a sampling location specified in this general permit or other appropriate instrument governing the discharge, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the data submitted on the DMR.
