Director February 28, 2012 Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NC5000303 Waukesha EIectric Systems Wayne County Dee Freeman Secretary Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this faciliVs current permit: Analytical monitoring chances: 1. Parameters TSS, Oil and Grease, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Total Nitrogen (TN), and pH have been maintained in the analytical monitoring requirements. 2. Ali analytical monitoring has been maintained to semi-annually during a measurable storm event as defined in Part 11 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 FIow" 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 foIIow 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. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during measurable storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative outfall status. 5. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5.

Vehicle maintenance monitoring has maintained semi-annually monitoring. Monitoring for TPH has replaced Oil & Grease. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater permits, however it only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply. Other permit changes: 1. Per the requirements of the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule, all stormwater drainage from portions of this site that have been constructed after July 22, 1997 must be discharged through a correctly designed level spreader or another device that meets diffuse flow requirements per 15A NCAC 2B .0233. Diffuse flow requirements are described in Chapter 8 of the North Carolina Stormwater BMP Manual, available at: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/bmp-manual. 2.

We discussed their SP3 plan, reviewed their monitoring & inspected the sw discharge outlet. Their operations at this site have remained unchanged; however, they have made some minor revisions to their Spill Response Plan. Craig sent a copy of the revised SP3 plan to me by email in the last 30 days. I will review their plan & follow-up with him in the near future. I recommend that we issue this permit (will send copy of signed staff report form provided by Director by mail). The following comments apply to this permit and NPDES stormwater permits in general. After discussions with several industry reps over the past months, there seems to be some confusion about monitoring requirements & reporting. (1) Section A: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, (7) Plan Amendment. This section has combined Plan Amendments with Annual Review & Update of SP3 plan — broken & confusing as written. (2) My suggestion: (7) Annual Plan Review & Amendments. Begin with, All aspects of the SP3 plan shall be... in addition, make statement that annual review shall include review & comparison of sample data to BMV; also, an acknowledgement/discussion about Tiered Responses by permittee; also include annual summary data monitoring report. [in other words, be specific, spell out exactly what we want to see in the annual review; but keep it reasonable & flexible]. Then follow with next paragraph that speaks to Plan Amendments (wording is OK). (3) Same section, another thought: There is no specific instruction to actually submit the annual review. We need to say submit (2) copies of the annual review to [designate either RO, or SW group in CO]. The annual review submitted in summary form should not be that painful; it should be relatively short & would give DWQ at least a snapshot of what the industry is doing each year; rather than wait 5 years to figure out they basically didn't do much in the way of sw control, or compliance with their permit. (One thing that would help this whole scenario would be to get the sample results/reports into a readily available/user friendly database}. (4) Next subject, Section E: Reporting Requirements; both (1) & (2); reword to capture these 3 things: (1) analytical sampling results shall be submitted on DMR forms provided by Division within 30 days. (2) qualitative (visual) monitoring shall be recorded on forms provided by Division on our webpage. These forms shall be kept onsite; but, do not have to be submitted unless specifically requested by the Division. (3) Annual Plan Review as specified in Section A: (7) shall be submitted to the RO by March 1 of each year. If this is confusing, or if you have questions, let me know.

The 2008 Neuse Basinwide Plan shows that the Neuse River 27-(56)a is impaired for fish consumption (Mercury). All waters in the Neuse River basin are Impaired on an evaluated basis in the Fish Consumption category for mercury contamination. This is based on a fish consumption advice from the NC Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS). The Neuse River AU## 27-(56)a and AU# 27-(56)b (in subbasin.03-04-05) were added to the 2004 303(d) due to site specific fish tissue samples collected in 2000. In this highly agricultural subbasin, DWQ recommend that the local resources agencies implement appropriate BMPs to reduce nutrient and sediment loading in this watershed. 3. Threatened and Endangered: Based on the Natural Heritage Virtual Workroom there are no federal endangered aquatic species within two miles of the site. 4. Location: C;NSW 5. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: No significant changes over the life of the previous permit related to work processes or raw materials. 6. Anal3tical Monitoring Notes: The analytical monitoring results in the renewal application included 5 samples from 07-11. Two of the pH values were below the benchmark range of 6-9 SU. They are missed over half the required samples. T e permittee stated that not all the samp es were found because t ere were two different environmental managers there since 2007. The receiving stream is classified NSW; However, Phosphorous was not added in the previous renewal because based on the previous data, low phosphorous level had been detected over several years. The reviewer considered removing Nitrogen but only six results were provided. The reviewer desires more data in order to. make a final decision; therefore, Nitrogen was maintained in the permit renewal. The reviewer recommends keeping Oil and Grease in the permit. The reviewer considered replacing O&G with Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH). TPH is a more -specific analyte than O&G for use at facilities expected to discharge only petroleum based hydrocarbons. However, the site is using some environmental friendly oil that is similar to vegetable oil; therefore Q&G is a better o2tion for this site. TSS and pH were maintained as parameters because they are standard for most of our permits and provide valuable information when pollutants are discovered in stormwater. The reviewer recommends continuing monitor_i_n for PCBs. There are several concerns with detection of PCBs in the environment. Arochlors are both a human health concern (0.064 ng/1) and an aquatic life concern (1 ng/L). However quantitation limits (PQLs) are much higher than even aquatic life standards - PQLs are usually at or near 1 µg/L (103 higher). Additionally, PQLs will change daily within and between labs. These factors make it difficult to write the action level as a numeric benchmark. Therefore SPU has chosen to write the benchmark in this manner so that any detection over the PQL is an exceedence of the benchmark. This method will also incorporate advances in methods of PCB detection levels. The most sensitive appropriate method should be used. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Only three visual results were submitted. No signs of stormwater pollution were recorded.

Parameters TSS, Oil and Grease, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Total Nitrogen (TN), and pH have been maintained in the analytical monitoring requirements. 2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part It 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. Exceedances of benchmark values require the pennittee 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 pennittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in Part 11 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. Discussions with permittee: Craig Fulcher, 919-581-1677 craig.fulcher@spx.com, 10/12/2011 1, Samples results for pH were below the benchmark threshold the last two times. Any idea why? Not sure but will look into it. 2. What are the fluids used in your transformers instead of PCB? Do you have a PCB soil contamination remediation planned or underway at this site? The transformers now use transformer oil that is compared to baby oil. They are offering environmental friendly oil FR3 which is similar to vegetable oil. Currently, only about 5% of their transformers use this oil. The site was built in 1968 and PCB was in the oil. The site is a superfund site and remediation occurred in the late 90s. The site is now under land use restrictions_ 3. Do you have any more analytical monitoring results? No 4. Vehicle maintenance?

Please find enclosed a Current Site Map, Analytical Monitoring Summary, Visual Monitoring Summary and the Signed Certification of our Stormwate. Pollution Prevention Plan. To summarize our current Best Management Practices, we perform the following control measures. The Hazardous Waste./14-azardous Material storage facility and he booths are -inspected on a weekly basis and documented on MP-850-002B. Weekly inspections are performed on ail above ground storage tanks. The equipment operators perform weekly inspections -of the oil processing equipment, piping and hoses. All aboveground storage tanks and related piping are enclosed in a secure, fully fenced location. Oil levels are monitored through the use of overflow alarms and a computer inventory control system. All employees are aware of the locations of Spill Containment and Control Material Cabinets. An Emergency Response Team has been established and trained (HAZWOPER 24hr Operations Level) in the .procedures required to deal with various emergency situations including hazardous material releases. There have been no significant changes in industrial activities over the life of the current permit relating to work processes or raw materials. Substituting non -hazardous materials where possible has brought about reductions in the total usage of hazardous materials. These reductions in hazardous materials processed and hazardous waste generated include material �� Waukesha Electric Systems, Inc. - 2701 US Highway 117 South • PO Box 268 . Goldsboro, NC 27530-0915 On-line at www.WaukeshaElectnc.com wxENE IOE-111 IN NY- , changes implemented in the painting process, parts washer stations and fluorescent lamps. Material storage upgrades have also occurred over the past five years. Scrap metal and other waste material roll -off dumpsters are located under a covered shelter. A Rainwater Release Procedure was also developed as part of our Integrated Spill Response Plan, which requires rainwater to be evaluated and documented by an authorized and trained individual prior to release from containment. Scrap wood roll -off dumpsters are no longer stored on site. They are loaded and transported directly to the recycler on an as needed basis. Since the renewal of this permit in 2007, there has been two different Environmental Managers in this position that are no longer with the company. While I have conducted exhaustive research to locate all monitoring records, some have not been found for this time period. The attached stunmaries will provide all monitoring results available at this time and to the best of my knowledge.

Director Division of Water Quality January 10, 2007 Mr. Benjy Woodard Waukesha Electric Systems 2701 US Highway 117 South Goldsboro, NC 27530 Subject: Individual Permit No. NCS 000303 Waukesha Electric Systems Wayne County Dear Mr. Woodard: Enclosed with this letter is•a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. Modifications from previous permit: .1. Phosphorus monitoring has been omitted in the revised draft permit. Based on the data you -_----provided, -low phosphorus.levels.have been -detected _over.the_past several -years. Monitoring.is.retained for total nitrogen, pH, oil and grease, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). 2. You erroneously monitored Total.K,jehldahl Nitrogen (TKN) as opposed to TN during the previous permitting cycle. TN is fequired. TKN is not acceptable. The new permit has language clarifying this requirement. Your facility is located in the Neuse River basin, which has specific nitrogen reduction rules in place. 3. pH monitoring has been changed from semi-annually to quarterly. The majority of the pH values submitted were below the allowable benchmark, 6-9 SU. This permit requires you to determine the source(s) causing the low pH that have occurred in the past, determine the potential source(s) of low pH that may occur due to any foreseen future changes at the plant, and address these source(s) via onsite action such as adding additional BMPs, increasing your on -site clean up or changing operating practices. These changes should be documented in your stormwater pollution prevention plan (SPPP). This permit also requires you to report these actions to the Division in writing at the address listed at the bottom of this letter. This report is due one year from the issuance date of your permit. 4. Monitoring for PCBs has been changed from semi-annually to quarterly due to a high level reported for February 23, 2005. 5. The detection limit for PCBs has been specified in this permit. Previously, you tested for several PCB arochlors with detection limits ranging from 19 to 3.7 ug/L. All but one of the samples submitted had non -detectable values. The State -recommended detection limit is 1.0 ug/L, and you must use this detection limit. You must test for arochlors 1016, 1221, 1232, 1242, 1248, 1254, 1260, and 1262. Not all of the previous cycle's testing contained data for 1262. �Y North Carolina Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Phone (919) 733-5083 Customer Service Internet: www.ncwaternualitv.ora Location: 512 N.

Part II Section A has been revised. It now specifies all of the items to include on the site map. The map submitted with the application does not show the location of storage areas, process areas, loading or unloading areas or areas of industrial activity. Additionally, the outfall, existing BMPs, and a narrative of potential pollutants are not labeled on the drawing. In addition to these items, the new permit also requires you to show the percent of impervious area within each drainage area. You are required to submit a revised map to the Division. This is due one year after the effective date of your permit. 7. You are required to collect all of the analytical monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in this permit'. The new permit requires you to record both the date(s) of the rain event and the date of the sample. If samples are not collected at the appropriate time, you will be in violation of this permit and subject to penalties. Qualitative monitoring is not required to be conducted during a representative storm event. 8. Benchmarks have been added to this draft permit. These benchmarks are not permit limits but . should be used as guidelines for the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). New language specifies that if any measurements exceed benchmark values, the facility should evaluate the effectiveness of its BMPs, review and/or update its SPPP, and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination. See Part H, Sections B & D.' 9. All monitoring has been changed to semi-annual (spring and fall). This change is based on the ------Division's-revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits -and makes stormwater - - --- discharge sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. 10. The Division's policy is to include a vehicle maintenance section in each permit. We understand that you do not currently conduct vehicle maintenance and so you are not currently subject to these requirements. If you -should you begin to conduct these activities then the requirements listed in the permit_ would apply. 11. The Iatitude and longitude values in this draft permit have been corrected. 12. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall and event duration parameters have been retained.) Instead, Part H Section A clarifies that SPPP site map include drainage area for each outfall in acres and percent impervious area in each drainage area (should flow ever need to be estimated.) 13. Modifications to Qualitative Monitoring: color, odor, clarity, floating solids, suspended solids, foam, oil sheen; and other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution are required. Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft. Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of the first page of this letter. If no adverse comments are received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.

Five with pH c 6.0 SU. Staff report elements Consider pH monitoring increase from seven per term (previous permit) to quarterly (note: standard SPU practice is now twice per year, but this site has pH below benchmark on five of seven occasions.) YES, require quarterly pW_monitoring. Further, emphasize in the permit text and transmittal letter that permittee's obligation is to react to the pH values below 6 by on -site action of some sort. And to record their reaction in the SPPP. Perhaps add BMP, perhaps on -site clean up, perhaps changes to operating practices. At the very least, permittee should identify the source of the low pH runoff. Perhaps we should require as a permit condition a response to SPU and WARO within a year of issuance on permittee's actions to address low pH. Further discussion warranted w/In SPU of appropriate action. 12. Note some data missing. Most of the required seven data points were obtained during the term (5 for pH, 7 PCBs, 7 O&G, 5 TKN.) Minor deficiency on its own. - no action. Failure to collect during storm event, but rather after event. Not good enough. We know there are PCB soils on the site, and that PCBs attach to the soil particles. Monitoring for PCBs on the day after the rainfall is not in compliance with the permit requirements, and in so far as soil particles are mobilized to a much lesser extent the day after a rainfall event, we are significantly reducing our opportunity to discover If PCB soils are leaving the site in the runoff. Consider quarterly monitoring here, too, since it is so important to get the sample during the rain event. The extra sampling involved in a quarterly requirement amounts to OJT for getting the sample at the right time. Benchmarks added, with requirement to address excursions beyond benchmarks. Yes. Furthermore, suggest we require a response to previous pH excursions as a permit condition, as outlined above in item 1. ..Ft.

Tell permittee lat and long correction - OK No new chemicals on site - OMIT from cover letter. - - - - Wait, I wonder, they're still making transformers, but they're no longer using PCBs, so what are they using as the replacement fluid in the transformers? Would that be a new chemical? Worth a call to Waukesha? ^a( Tell permittee flow reporting requirement has been removed - OK. "1" Tell permittee that the map requirements are now specified in the permit IIA - OK. -nr Consider NEW cover letter item - Tell permittee new permit condition requires him to submit to WARO and SPU an acceptable site plan (be sure to include this requirement as a permit condition, in addition to the recitation of map contents in IIA). Kelly - PE stamp not required, since this isn't a "design of a treatment unit". But maybe we should require that the site plan be the work of a .registered surveyor, and carry his stamp. - ?

Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 (9I9) 733-7015 Customer Service 1-877-623-6748 Central Office Review Summary: This facility discharges to an unnamed tributary of the Neuse River in subbasin 03-04-12. The Neuse River is currently classified NSW and is under a TMDL for nitrogen. DWQ Basinwide Planning Staff drafting the 2007 Neuse Basinwide Plan have indicated that streams in this area of the subbasin will not be listed for impairment in 2007. Qualitative Monitoring Results: The permittee reported some floating and suspended solids, as well as a decrease in clarity on multiple occasions. The most recent report, October 2006, has shown particularly poor quality. If the permittee has not already done so, it should consider BMPs to reduce solids. The permittee has not submitted three categories of qualitative monitoring data, 1.) Color, 2.) Odor, and 3.) Other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution. DWQ will bring this requirement to the attention of the permittee in the cover letter of the permit. Analytical Monitoring: 1. Phosphorus monitoring has been omitted in the revised draft permit. Based on the data provided by the applicant and summarized in Table 1, low phosphorus levels have been detected over the past several years. This subbasin does not have specific phosphorus monitoring needs. Monitoring is retained for total nitrogen, pH, oil and grease, and PCBs. 2. The permittee has erroneously been monitoring TKN as opposed to TN. DWQ has discussed this with the permittee, and will also notify the permittee of this error in the cover letter of the permit to ensure that they begin monitoring for TN. This facility is located in the Neuse River basin, which is an NSW with a TMDL in place for nitrogen. The current version of the Basinwide Plan (2002) does not indicate impairments in this area of the subbasin. The draft 2007 plan also does not anticipate impairments. 3. There have been several low pH values found. Ask Ken/Bethany: Increase pH frequency to quarterly? ue-S 4. As shown in Table 1, the permittee did not submit monitoring data for all of the scheduled monitoring periods. Ask Ken/Bethany: Increase frequency of any of the chemicals? They did not collect all of the samples that they were required to collect. "&--5 ,h3ve'= 5. The permittee did not collect all of the analytical monitoring during representative storm events. He said that many of the samples were collected the day after the storm. DWQ has notified that applicant that analytical monitoring samples must be collected during a representative storm event, as defined in the permit. Qualitative monitoring is not required to be conducted during a representative storm event. 6. Benchmarks have been added to this draft permit. These benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP), New language specifies that if any measurements exceed benchmark values, the facility should evaluate the effectiveness of its BMPs, review and/or update its SPPP, and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination. See Part II, Sections B & D. Oil and grease and PCBs have shown mostly non -detectable (ND) levels. The oil and grease detection level is 7.9 mg/L, which is acceptable for the 30 mg/L benchmark. Ask Connie Brower: This facility is using the following PCB detection Ievels (expressed in ug/L). Are they low enough (no benchmark)? a. PCB-1016, 1.9 �`AAP b. PCB-1221, 3.7 c. PCB-1232, 3.7 d. PCB-1242, 1.9 e. PCB-1248, 1.9 f. PCB-1254, 1.9 g. PCB-1260, 1.9 7. All monitoring has been changed to semi-annual (spring and fall). This change is based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits and makes stormwater discharge sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring.

The permittee did not submit vehicle maintenance monitoring data because they do not conduct vehicle maintenance activities onsite. The company owns only one vehicle, which is maintained offsite. 9. The latitude and longitude values in this draft permit have been corrected. 10. There are no new chemicals or industrial activities at the plant. 11. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall and event duration parameters have been retained.) Instead, Part II Section A clarifies that SPPP site map include drainage area for each outfall in acres and percent impervious area in each drainage area (should flow ever need to be estimated.) 12. Part-11 Section A has been revised. It now specifies all of the items to include on the site map. The map that the permittee submitted does not show the location of storage areas, process areas, loading or unloading areas or areas of industrial activity. Additionally, the outfall is not Iabeled on the drawing. The outfall is a ditch, though two ditches are labeled on the drawing. It is therefore unclear where the outfall is located. The drawing does not show existing BMPs. It shows impervious areas, but not the percent of impervious of each drainage area. It also does not have a narrative of potential pollutants in each drainage area. -Ask Ken/Bethany: It is not required to be stamped, but it seems odd that it isn't? 01tt Follow-up with the company contact (Benjy Woodard, 919.580.3218) on 20 December 2006: 1. Does the facility conduct vehicle maintenance onsite? No. The company only owns one vehicle and all maintenance is done offsite. 2. Where is the facility located? Mapquest and Terrain Navigator locate the facility in different areas. After discussion with the applicant, DWQ used Mapquest's location for this permit and revised the latitude, longitude, and subbasin appropriately. 3. Are you collecting analytical monitoring samples during representative rain events? The samples are often taken the day after a rain event. DWQ advised the permittee that they need to be taken during (not after) representative rain events. 4. Are you aware that your permit requires testing of TN as opposed to TKN? The permittee was not aware that there is a difference. He will work with his laboratory to ensure that the proper testing is done for future. Recommendation: Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on October 4, 2004 is sufficient to issue an Individual Stormwater Permit.

Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, Nardi Carolina 27699-1617 (919) 733-7015 Customer Service 1-S77-623-6748 Central Office Review Summary: This facility discharges to an unnamed tributary of the Neuse River in subbasin 03-04-12. The Neuse River is currently classified NSW and is under a TMDL for nitrogen. DWQ Basinwide Planning Staff drafting the 2007 Neuse Basinwide Plan have indicated that streams in this area of the subbasin will not be listed for impairment in 2007. Qualitative Monitoring: The permittee reported some floating and suspended solids, as well as a decrease in clarity on multiple occasions. The most recent report, October 2006, has shown particularly poor quality. If the permittee has not already done so, it should consider BMPs to reduce solids. The permittee has not submitted three categories of qualitative monitoring data, 1.) Color, 2.) Odor, and 3.) Other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution. DWQ will bring this requirement to the attention of the permittee in the cover letter of the permit. Color, odor, clarity, floating solids, suspended solids, foam, oil sheen, and other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution are now required. Analytical Monitoring: 1. Phosphorus monitoring has been omitted in the revised draft permit. Based on the data provided, low phosphorus levels have been detected over the past several years. Monitoring is retained for total nitrogen, pH, oil and grease, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). 2. The permittee erroneously monitored Total Kjehldahl Nitrogen (TKN) as opposed to TN during the previous permitting cycle. TN is required. TKN is not acceptable. The new permit has language clarifying this requirement. This facility is located in the Neuse River basin, which has specific nitrogen reduction rules in place. 3, pH monitoring has been changed from semi-annually to quarterly. The majority of the pH values submitted were below the allowable benchmark, 6-9 SU. This permit requires the pertnittee to determine the source(s) causing the low pH that have occurred in the past, determine the potential source(s) of low pH that may occur due to any foreseen future changes at the plant, and address these source(s) via onsite action such as adding additional BMPs, increasing on -site clean up or changing operating practices. These changes should be documented in their stormwater pollution prevention plan (SPPP). This permit also requires the permittee to report these actions to the Division in writing at the address listed at the bottom of this letter. This report is due one year from the issuance date of the permit. 4. Monitoring for PCBs has been changed from semi-annually to quarterly due to a high level reported for February 23, 2005, 5. The detection limit for PCBs has been specified in this permit. Previously, the permittee tested for several PCB arochlors with detection limits ranging from 1.9 to 3.7 ug/L. All but one of the samples submitted had non -detectable values. The State -recommended detection limit is 1.0 ug/L, and the permittee must use this detection limit. The permittee must test for arochlors 1016, 1221, 1232, 1242, 1248, 1254, 1260, and 1262. Not all of the previous cycle's testing contained data for 1262. It is important to test for all of the arochlors because the total of these values will be considered for violation of the State aquatic life standard, 0.001 ug/L. The benchmark has been set of 0 ug/L because the State aquatic life standard is below the detectable limit. Any detection therefore constitutes a violation. 6. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in this permit. The new permit requires the permittee to record both the date(s) of the rain event and the date of the sample. The permittee will be notified in the cover letter that failure to collect samples at the appropriate time will be seen as a violation of the permit. Qualitative monitoring is not required to be conducted during a representative storm event. 7. Benchmarks have been added to this draft permit. 8. All monitoring has been changed to semi-annual (spring and fall). 9. The Division's policy is to include a vehicle maintenance section in each permit, though this facility does not conduct vehicle maintenance AN& N. C.

The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall and event duration parameters have been retained.) Other Changes to the Previous Permit: I . Part II Section A has been revised. It now specifies all of the items to include on the site map. The map submitted with the application does not show the location of storage areas, process areas, loading or unloading areas or areas of industrial activity. Additionally, the outfall, existing BMPs, and a narrative of potential pollutants are not labeled on the drawing. In addition to these items, the new permit also requires the permittee to show the percent of impervious area within each drainage area. The permittee is required to submit a revised map to the Division. This is due one year after the effective date of the permit. 2. The latitude and longitude values in this draft permit have been corrected from the previous permit. Follow-up with the company contact (Benjy Woodard, 919.580.3218) on 20 December 2006: 1. Does the facility conduct vehicle maintenance onsite? No. The company only owns one vehicle and all maintenance is done offsite. 2. Where is the facility located? Mapquest and Terrain Navigator locate the facility in different areas. ' After discussion with the applicant, DWQ used Mapquest's location for this permit and revised the latitude, longitude, and subbasin appropriately. 3. Are you collecting analytical monitoring samples during representative rain events? The samples are often taken the'day after a rain event. DWQ advised the permittee that they need to be taken during (not after) representative rain events. 4. Are you aware that your permit requires testing of TN as opposed to TKN? The permittee was not aware that there is a difference. He will work with his laboratory to ensure that the proper testing is done in the future. Recommendation: Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on October 4, 2004 is sufficient to issue an Individual Stormwater Permit.

Please find enclosed a Current Site Map, Analytical Monitoring Summary, Visual Monitoring Summary and the Signed Certification of our Storm'water Pollution Prevention Plan. To summarize our current Best Management Practices, we perform the following control measures. The Hazardous Waste/Hazardous Material storage facility and the paint booths are inspected on a daily basis and documented on form MP-850-002B. Weekly Inspections are performed on all aboveground storage tanks. The equipment operators perform weekly inspections of the oil processing equipment, piping and hoses. All aboveground storage tanks and related piping are enclosed in a secure, fully fenced location. Oil levels are monitored through the use of overflow alarms and a computer inventory control system. All employees are aware of the locations of Spill Containment and Control Material Cabinets. An Emergency Response Team has been established and trained in the procedures required to deal with various emergency situations including hazardous material releases. There have been no significant changes in industrial activities over the life of the current permit relating to work processes or raw materials. Substituting non -hazardous materials where possible has brought about reductions in the total usage of hazardous materials. These reductions in hazardous materials processed and hazardous waste generated include material changes implemented in the painting process, parts washer stations and fluorescent lamps. Material storage upgrades have also occurred over the past five years. Previously, completed transformer'units were stored on a gravel area. This area was capped with concrete during a 2002-2003 Soil Remediation Project. The remediation I project was completed under a consent order with NCDEHNR and the Remedial Action Completion Report is dated April 2004. This project also included covering PCB contaminated soils with a cap of 1 ft of soil, asphalt or concrete. This project increased the total impervious surface area, but has limited the possibility of migration of PCB r contamination. A site plan is enclosed which provides details of the areas capped with soil, asphalt and concrete.

This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215 .1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection agency dated December 6, 1983. Please note that the Division has revised the analytical monitoring strategy for individual stormwater permits. Based on a review of the permit monitoring data received to date, the analytical monitoring measurement frequencies have been changed and cut-bff concentrations have been removed. These changes will be implemented for all second term individual stormwater permits with analytical monitoring requirements. For those permits with analytical monitoring requirements, Part II - Monitoring, Controls, and Limitations for Permitted Discharges has been modified to reflect the change in monitoring strategy. The qualitative monitoring strategy remains the same as the first term of the permit. Please note that the semi-annual qualitative monitoring is a requirement of the permit. Failure to complete the monitoring as required is a violation of the permit and any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act. Reference Part III, Section A, Item 2 "Duty to Comply", Item 9 "Penalties for Tampering " and Item 10 "Penalties for Falsification of Reports" of your permit for further information. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter.

LOUIS OWENS WAUKESHA ELECTRIC SYSTEMS PO BOX 268 GOLDSBORO, NC 27530 N I WA 1•NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Renewal Waukesha Electric Systems Permit Number NCS000303 Wayne County Dear Permittee: Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000303. This permit expires on March 31, 2000. In order to assure your continued coverage under your permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find an individual permit renewai application form, supplemental information request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification. Filing the application form along with the requested supplemental information will constitute your application for renewal of your permit. The application form must be completed and returned along with all requested information by October 11, 1999 in order to constitute a timely renewal filing. Recent legislation modified the fee structure for DWQ permits. Renewal fees have been eliminated and annual fees have been changed. The new annual fee for your permit is now $715.00 (you will be invoiced later this year for your annual fee.) A copy of the new fee schedule is enclosed in this package. Failure to request renewal by October 11, 1999 may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without coverage under a valid Stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day. If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Tony Evans of the Stormwater and General Permits Unit at (919) 733-5083, ext. 584.

We have recently established new monitoring policies that may help you in meeting your monitoring requirements. First, we have modified the definition of a representative storm event (see attached definition). The second change is that we have removed the April to November sampling window to allow sampling throughout the calendar year. You should continue to seek a representative storm event and required analysis. The monitoring has to be completed before March 3, 1996. Please be aware of requirements in state water quality regulations to advise our office of any changes in ownership or names of industrial facilities. Currently, the above mentioned stormwater permit is issued to Hevi-Duty Electric Company. However, your letter of 13th December indicates a name of Waukesha Electric Systems. If a change in ownership has occurred at the facility, please complete the enclosed form for name changes to NPDES permits. If no name or ownership change has occurred, you do not need to forward this change form.. If you have any questions on this matter, please call Steve Ulmer at 919/ 733-5083, extension 545.
