Special Issues Explanation:
• Location: This site is upstream of an endangered species habitat
• Other: This facility may have two owners with co -mingling outfalls after June 2008.
Description of Onsite Activities:
The site currently has two plants, driveline and forming. (The driveline plant is closing in June 2008.) The forming
plant heats metal and then forms it to specific shapes.

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: N/A
2. General Observations: Recipient of the 2006 Environmental Stewardship Award, presented by Secretary Ross. The
Environmental Stewardship Initiative is a voluntary program that encourages facilities to use pollution prevention
and innovation to meet and go beyond regulatory requirements.

NCS000155
3. Impairment: Not 303(d) listed. Not addressed by the 2005 Basinwide Plan (North and South Buffalo creeks are
addressed and parts of those creeks are listed.)
4. Location: This facility appears to drain to Little Buffalo Creek. However, the watershed for Gum Fork is also in
the immediate vicinity. It appears from the Google Satellite Map that the facility is in the location to drain to
Little Buffalo Creek. `Buffalo Creek" (not "Little Buffalo Creek") is listed on both the previous permit and the
application. However, `Buffalo Creek" is not the receiving stream. If a site visit is done, verify the receiving
stream. This is an important element because if the facility drains to Little Buffalo Creek, then it drains to an
endangered species habitat.
Figure 2: Receiving Stream Validation
5. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: The driveline portion of this facility will be closing in June 2008,
Request the RRO's input on the following: The changes in activities on the site may make them eligible for
the NCG03 (metal fabrication) permit instead of an individual permit (unless the owner or RO would prefer to
keep it as an individual permit). This could depend on who leases the former driveline building. They could be
co-permittees or get separate permits. Another option would be to hold off issuing until they have more
information on who will be leasing the building.
6. Analytical Monitoring Notes: No sampling was required in the previous permit. EPA requires TSS sampling.
7. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: No issues noted. However, The color and clarity are always "clear". The other
parameters are always "none". Typically, there is at least one instance where an anomaly is recorded.
Determine if the person monitoring understands what items to record.
Page 3 of 7

NCS000155
8. Threatened and Endangered: The Cape Fear Shiner (a fish) is found in downstream of the facility in Little Buffalo Creek, where the creek meets the
Cape Fear River. The NHP database shows that the Shiner was found in a separate creek that also drains to the Cape Fear, downstream of where the
Little Buffalo Creek meets the river. However, the expected range of the fish includes part of Little Buffalo Creek. Though the outfall of the facility
does not intersect the expected location of the fish, stormwater from the site may affect the Shiner downstream. Potential threats to the species and its
habitat could come from such activities as changes in stream flow, runoff from agriculture and communities, road construction, impoundments,
wastewater discharge, and other development projects in the watershed (http://www.fws.gov/nc-es/fish/cfshiner.html).

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. TSS and pH have been added to the analytical monitoring requirements. TSS has been added because it is
required in the EPA Sector Specific permit. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring for all permits.
2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II
Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs
during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days
of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally,.samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart,
as specified in Table 2.
3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. 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. If the sampling results are above a
benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall
follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a
mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the
benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall
two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of
the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall
where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.
4. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative
outfall status.
5. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote I of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each
outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant
spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to
ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section
A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More
details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not
contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and
activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR § I22.26(g), the facility may qualify
for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information
is provided in Part I Section A.

Discussions with permittee: Dib Paul, 919.708.6243, dib.paul(aekndriveline.com and Kimberly Killian,
919.708.4574, Kimberly. killian(a)gkndriveline.com. (Kimberly is the main contact.) :
1. Discussion with Dib, late April 2008: Discussed the fact that part of his facility will soon be closing. He indicated
that most of the stormwater concerns were for the portion that would be closing, and asked if he still needed a permit.
I explained the No Exposure option. He met with his staff, and they decided not to pursue that route.
2. Have there been any significant changes at your facility since you applied for the renewal permit in November 2004?
a. The site currently has two plants; driveline and forming. The driveline plant is closing in June 2008. It is
being mothballed in preparation for selling it to a new owner or leasing it to a leasee. Most of the
stormwater concerns for the previous permit were related to the `oil bearing activities" at the driveline plant.
The stormwater from the two facilities co -mingles in at least one of the outfalls. The permit will need to be
written appropriately. As of May 2, the permittees do not know who will be using that building.
3. What does each of your two plants manufacture? Your website says driveline "precision forming".
a. Diveline: Oil bearing operations (will be closing)
b. Forming: Heat and form metal components
4. What is your SIC code for the plant that will remain open?
a. Metal forming plant: SIC=3714, and NAICS=336350

Regional Office Staff Comments
Robert,
I met with Kim Killian with GKN Driveline facility NCS000155 on July 8`h, 2008 to do a
site visit.
After review of their paperwork and doing an inspection of the outfalls, this is my
finding:
The facility should draft a site map that shows all outfalls and the direction of
flow for stormwater. Also describe any potential pollutants for each outfall.
The driveline plant is closed. The facility is still not sure who will occupy this
front building or when this will happen.
The facility drains to Little Buffalo Creek not Buffalo Creek. Stormwater from
the front is carried to the back of the facility and then discharged where it will
flow to Little Buffalo Creek. I don't see where Gum Fork will be affected by this
facility.
The facility is doing a good job of following their permit. I did talk with Kim to let her
know that sampling was going to be required in the new permit and she is already
working on getting a contract lab and quotes for the sampling.
I recommend that the permit continue to go forward and be renewed. If the driveline
building is leased or sold then at that time we can revisit the facility to see if they need a
separate permit or if the one permit shall stay in tacked and or other sampling parameters
added.

significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges.
Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. 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 SPCC plan 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.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping-Program/A preventative
maintenance program shall be developed. The ,program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormXvater-control systems, plant equipment
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program: ,/
5. Employee Training. Training schedules "shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and
preventative maintenance activities for,all personnel involved in any of the facility's
operations that have the potential'to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel
(or team) responsible fo/r i plementing the training shall be identified.
6. Responsible Party. The,Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible•forthe overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance that has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update
shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous
three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include
re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan 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 Plan to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.

8. Facility Inspection Program. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall
occur at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year
(January through June) and once during the second half (July through December), with at
least 60-days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently). The
inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities performed shall be documented,
recording date and time of inspection, individual(s) making the inspection and a narrative
description of the facility's stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems.
Records of these inspections shall be incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the
stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring required in Part II of this permit.
9. Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. The permittee shall document
all monitoring, measurements, inspections and 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 years and made

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 representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours. X ��
