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. \ i

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified in Table 4, during the analytical
monitoring event. [If analytical monitoring is not required, the permittee still must conduct semi-
annual qualitative monitoring.] Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the
effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of
stormwater pollution.
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall

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 engaged 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.
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet
water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the pollutant's sources. A TMDL is a detailed
water quality assessment that provides the scientific foundation for an,implementation plan. The
implementation plan outlines the steps necessary to reduce pollutant loads in a certain body of water to
restore and maintain water quality standards in all seasons. T4 Clean\ater.Act, Section 303, establishes
the water quality standards and TMDL programs. %f ��\

Summary of Best Management Practices
Onyx Environmental Services (OES) employs many Best Management Practices (BMPs) as a part of daily operations. They are
listed below with a brief description of the activities:
1. Remove and cover potential sources — Hazardous wastes are situated in enclosed trailers staged within secondary
containment under a roof. The trash dumpster is covered and also under roof. Vehicle maintenance activities are
generally conducted off -site.
Good housekeeping — All materials are stored neatly and orderly in designated storage areas. Leaks and spills are
isolated and cleaned up properly upon detection. All material inventories are kept up-to-date.
Preventative maintenance — Containers and container storage areas are inspected daily. If a container is found to be
leaking, bulging, of or poor integrity, it will be remediated immediately. The facility maintains an extensive inventory of

emergency response equipment and supplies, which are readily available. The secondary containment system is
maintained in a good state, free of cracks or damage.
4. Visual inspections — The facility is inspected daily by facility personnel to ensure that there are no leaking containers
and that containers are in good condition. The containment system is also inspected daily. Facility personnel are
trained to recognize pollution sources and to report them immediately.
5. Other considerations — Safety and environmental audits are conducted routinely. These audits include a review of the
facility for good housekeeping practices. Facility personnel are trained annually on emergency response and the
contingency plan.

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.)

Special Issues Explanation:
• The current permit has no analytical monitoring. The permit contact said that most of the activities are
under roof. A recent inspection (07/24/2008) by Myrl Nisely shows the site is compliant. The comments
say "Strong program, site designed to capture any spills,.operated in a manner that would minimize releases
from drums or tanks trucks into catch basins if they ever occurred."
• Is the regional staff concerned there is no analytical data for this site?
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.

Central Office Review Summary:
1. 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. Additional information is provided in Part lI 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 anc
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. Additional information
is provided in Part I Section A.

Summary of Best Management Practices
Onyx Environmental Services (OES) employs many Best Management Practices (BMPs) as a part of daily operations. They are
listed below with a brief description of the activities:
1. Remove and cover potential sources — Hazardous wastes are situated in enclosed trailers staged within secondary
containment under a roof. The trash dumpster is covered and also under roof. Vehicle maintenance activities are
generally conducted off -site.
2. Good housekeeping — All materials are stored neatly and orderly in designated storage areas. Leaks and spills are
isolated and cleaned up properly upon detection. All material inventories are kept up-to-date.
3. Preventative maintenance — Containers and container storage areas are inspected daily. If a container is found to be
leaking, bulging, of or poor integrity, it will be remediated immediately. The facility maintains an extensive inventory of

emergency response equipment and supplies, which are readily available. The secondary containment system is
maintained in a good state, free of cracks or damage.
4. Visual inspections — The facility is inspected daily by facility personnel to ensure that there are no leaking containers
and that containers are in good condition. The containment system is also inspected daily. Facility personnel are
trained to recognize pollution sources and to report them immediately.
5. Other considerations — Safety and environmental audits are conducted routinely. These audits include a review of the
facility for good housekeeping practices. Facility personnel are trained annually on emergency response and the
contingency plan.

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a
minimum, the following items:
Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan 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 water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate
storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate recgiving
waters: and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge.
(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.
(c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas
and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each
outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing
BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants
which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the 3 previous 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 certification statement will be signed in
accordance with the requirements found in Part Ill, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
Part 11 Page 1 of 4
Permit No. NCS000175
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, 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 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. 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 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.

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
