The summary can consist of a table including such items as outfall number, parameters sampled, lab results, date sampled, and storm event data. * 3. A summary of the Visual Monitoring results. Do not submit individual monitoring reports. The summary can consist of a table including such items as outfall number, parameters surveyed, observations, and date monitoring conducted. 4. A summary of the Best Management Practices utilized at the permitted facility. Summary should consist of a short narrative description of each BMP's in place at the facility. If the implementation of any BMP's is planned, please include information on these BMP's: 5. A short narrative describing any significant changes in industrial activities at the permitted facility. Significant changes could include the addition or deletion of work processes, changes in material handling practices, changes in material storage practices, and/or changes in the raw materials used by the facility. 6. Certification of the development and implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan for the permitted facility (Sign and return attached form). * If the final year analytical monitoring of the existing permit term has not been completed prior to filing the renewal submittal, then the last years monitoring results should be submitted within 30 days of receipt of the laboratory reports. (i.e. do not withhold renewal submittal waiting on lab results) Representative storm sampling may now be conducted anytime during the year (the April to November window has been eliminated) and the representative rainfall event is now defined as a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches and is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred.

Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality November 24, 2008 Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000175 Veolia ES Technical Solution, L.L.C. Granville County Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to iI6sure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit: 1. N, P, TSS, Oil and Grease, and pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements. 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 da s 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 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 twc consecutive samples. 4. You are 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. You are respgnsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 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.)

Description of Onsite Activities: http://veoliaes-ts.com/Contacts/Creedmooi`/o20a/o20NC The Veolia Environmental Services (VES) Creedmoor, North Carolina facility is a Part B hazardous waste storage and transfer facility permitted by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR). Located on a 25-acre site, the facility consists of an office building for sales and operations personnel, a 10,000-sq. ft. warehouse for equipment storage, and a 3,120-sq. ft. covered loading dock for receiving and Page 1 of 7 NCS000175' transferring wastes. Waste materials are stored in trailers that are parked in one of four secondary containment areas prior to shipment for final treatment and disposal. The VeoliaES-Creedmoor facility is permitted to store non -hazardous and all RCRA and state hazardous wastes excluding PCBs, medical and radioactive wastes. The facility has a storage capacity equal to 1,600 55-gallon drums. The facility utilizes a bar code scanning system to track the location and status of all wastes received and shipped off -site. The facility is permitted to bulk and blend waste prior to disposal at a VeoliaES approved facility. The facility received its Part B permit in May 1990. The renewed Part B Permit became effective August 13, 2001.

Owner's Other Permits: Owner has no other permits in BfMS. 2. General Observations: VES-TS specializes in the packaging, handling and transportation of hazardous and non- hazardous waste. In providing these services, hazardous and non -hazardous wastes are temporarily stored at this location. There are no treatment or disposal activities conducted at this location. All waste materials are packaged in appropriate containers and temporarily stored in trailers at a loading dock, located in the rear of our facility. The loading dock area is designed with a secondary containment system.to prevent the escape of waste materials into the environment in the event of a release. The facility also meets the established federal and state standards for security and fire prevention. The wastes that VES-TS handle generally fall into two broad categories: (1) packaged laboratory chemicals and (2) containerized liquids and solids. Some of these wastes are classified as hazardous waste due to the chemical properties they exhibit (ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic) or because they meet a specific listing according to the regulations. Some examples of the common wastes managed by VES-TS that are generated by local businesses include discarded paints, cleaning solutions, batteries, mercury -containing lamps, and off - specification industrial or consumer products. 3. Impairment: Little Ledge Creek is not listed on the 303(d) and not in the Neuse Basinwide Plan. 4. Threatened and Endangered: Based on the NC Natural Heritage Virtual Workroom there are some State or Federally endangered or threatened species within 2 miles of the site. Only one is federally threatened or endangered: Echinacea laevigat (Smooth Coneflower) E. However, this is not an aquatic species. 5. Location: Veolia ES Technical Solutions, L.L.C. (VES-TS) is an environmental services company that conducts waste management operations at the comer location of State Routes 1104 and 1106 (Will Suitt Road and East Lyon Station) in Butner, North Carolina. The mailing address of the facility is 2176 Will Suitt Road, Creedmoor, NC 27522. 6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: No industrial changes were noted in the application. Many administrative changes had taken place though. 7. Analytical Monitoring Notes: The current permit has no analytical monitoring. The EPA sector specific permit did not mention facility with SIC code of 4953. After talking with the permit contact the site seems to be primarily under roof. This site discharges to a nutrient sensitive water (NSW) and therefore Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus will be added to the renewed permit. TSS has been added to the renewal permit because it is a general stormwater parameter and is a potential pollutant for the site. Oil and Grease was added as a parameter because of the waste oil on site. 8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: The site has 3 outfalls and 4 trenches. The outfalls have monitoring results 9 times from 04/03/02 to 12/9/05. The summary table only reports problems and conditions overall. Usually reported no problems. Once there is pine pollen in the water and once there is floating leaves and suspended solids. Four times the outfalls were cleaned. The trenches were also observed for discharges and problems. A pH of 6 was noted for a couple discharges. Page 4 of 7 NCS000175 Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring: 1. N, P, TSS, Oil and Grease, and pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements. 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 facilityinspection 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 1 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.

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 stormwater. 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, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be secured with a locking mechanism] and 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 actttmulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. 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 years. (c) BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. 3. 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, a 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 stormwater control systems, plant equipment Part 11 Pa,e 2 of 4 and systems.

Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified. 6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific position(s) responsible for the 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 which 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 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 I11, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. 8. Facility Inspection Program. Facilities are required to inspect all stormwater systems on at least a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once in the spring (April - June). 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. Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part II of this permit shall be performed in addition to facility inspections. 9. Implementation. 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 activities 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 available to the Director or his authorized representative immediately upon request. Part 11 Page 3 of 4 ® 0 Permit No. NCS000175 SECTION B: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 1. Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls does not need to be performed during a representative storm event. 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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. All qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and once in the fall (September - November). V Table 1.

Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. Significant Materials Includes, but is not limited to: raw materials; fuels: materials such as solvents, detergents, and plastic pellets; finished materials such as metallic products; raw materials used in food processing or production: hazardous substances designated under section 10l(14) of Part VI Page 4 of 6 Pages 00 Permit No. NCS000175 25. 26 27 28. 29 30. 31 CERCLA; any chemical the facility is required to report pursuant to section 313 of Title III of SARA: fertilizers; pesticides; and waste products such as ashes, slag and sludge that have the potential to be released with stormwater discharges. Significant Spills Includes, but is not limited to: releases of oil or hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities under section 311 of the Clean Water Act (Ref: 40 CFR 110.10 and CFR 117.21) or section 102 of CERCLA (Ref: 40 CFR 302.4). Stormwater Runoff The flow of water which results from precipitation and which occurs immediately following rainfall or as a result of snowmelt. Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activity The discharge from any point source which is used for collecting and conveying stormwater and which is directly related to manufacturing, processing or raw material storage areas at an industrial site. Facilities considered to be engaLed in "industrial activities" include those activities defined in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14). The term does not include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan A comprehensive site -specific plan which details measures and practices to reduce stormwater pollution and is based on an evaluation of the pollution potential of the site. Ten Year Design Storm The maximum 24 hour precipitation event expected to be equaled or exceeded on the average once in ten years. Design storm information can be found in the State of North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. Total Flow The flow corresponding to the time period over which the entire storm event occurs. Total flow shall be either; (a) measured continuously, (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining to the outfall, the amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c) estimated by the measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event. Toxic Pollutant Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.
