Enclosed are two copies of Bridgestone/Firestone North American Tire, LLC's
(BFNT's) stormwater discharge permit (Permit No. NCS000370) renewal
application. The application consists of a completed and signed Renewal
Application Form, a signed Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Development and
Implementation Certification, an initialed Supplemental Information Checklist for
Renewal of Individual NPDES Permit, a current Site Map, a summary of Analytical
Monitoring results during the term of the present permit, a summary of Visual
Monitoring results during the term of the present permit, a summary of the Best
Management Practices utilized at the Wilson plant, and a short narrative describing
the significant changes in industrial activities at the Wilson plant.
BFNT would like to request that the requirement for a "site map drawn to
scale" in Part II, Section A.1 .(c) be changed to "a site map drawn approximately to
scale." If the site map is approximately to scale and locates pertinent structures,
this should be sufficient for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

Narrative of Changes inIndustrialActivities
Bridgestone / Firestone North American Tire, LLC-Wilson, NC
Permit Number NCS000370
Outfall Areas
During 2002, Bridgestone / Firestone North American Tire, LLC (BFNT) discovered that
103,429 square feet of total area that had been assumed to be in the South Outfall was really
in the East Outfall. Of this, 76,063 square feet were paved. The total drainage area for the
South Outfall is 2,947,607 square feet of which 386,628 are paved or covered. In addition to
this, building additions since 2000 have added 41,040 square feet to the paved areas of the
East Outfall. The total drainage area for the East Outfall is 6,119,189 square feet of which
2,556,781 are paved or covered.
Raw Materials
During the last two years, usage of the solvent containing N-hexane and hexane isomers was
eliminated. This solvent was replaced by a naphtha/heptane based solvent and a pure
heptane solvent.
A liquid ethanol producing pigment replaced three solid ethanol producing pigments. The
liquid arrives by truck in totes and is stored inside. It is not exposed to storm water.
Activities
When the previous permit application was submitted, a tire shredding operation was
inadvertently left out of the application although it was listed on the site map tit was
submitted. The operation has been moved once during the current permit's coverage period,
but the operation is still in the East Outfall's_drainage area. The tire shredding operation
does not produce fine particulate which could contaminate storm water and the area is swept
periodically to minimize storm water contamination. In addition, since the state of North
Carolina has approved shredded tire for use in septic tank drainage beds, shredded cured tires
do not leach harmful amounts of contaminants in water contacting them.
BFNT has recently installed 3 peak shaving diesel fired generators and the City of Wilson
has installed one generator on site. The diesel tanks for these generators are double walled
and are away from any traffic that could damage them. The diesel unloading area for these is
not covered or diked. ---- - ��
