The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow. . (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. Partit Page 1 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges., The permittee shall re -certify annually that the .stormwater outfall . have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The,certification statement will be signed in -accordance with the. - requirements found.in Part-IIl, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3. 2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy, shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure. ofsignificant materials; including structural and nonstructural measures. ,The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall -incorporate the following: I I (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 rainfall and run-on flows. Wherever practical,,the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In, area s where. elimination of 'exposure is not practical, this review'shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Requirements,and Records. Secondary containment is required. for: • storage in any amount of Section 313 of TitleJIl of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority• and storage in any amount of hazardous substancesin order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A -table or summary of all such..tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained., If the secondary containment devices are,connected to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves onother-similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism). 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 accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any material. -Records -documenting the individual makingthe observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release 'shall be kept for a period of five (5) years.

Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be*identified in a written list incorporated into,the SPRP and'signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities far the,plan: A responsible person shall be on�site-at all times during facility operations that have increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills'or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) maybe a componentlof the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCCwith the SPRP may be incorporated by reference4iito the SPRP. 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance arfd good housekeepirig:program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if -applicable); stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material 'storage areas, -material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas; loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all'drainage features and structures; and existing structural-BMPs. -The program shall establish schedules of inspections; maintenance,.and Housekeeping activities of stormwater.control systems, as well as,f icility equipment, facility areas; and facility systems that present a potential for-stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas an&regular cleaning,schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the -program. rTimely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP. 5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the second half (July to December.), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-arinually).

Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. ,The facility personnel responsible for*irriplementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. Part]] Page 3 of l l Permit No. NCS000309 7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify:a specific position orpositions responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities forall components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments,provided: 8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance,,or configuration of the physical features which may -have aisignificant effect on the potential for.the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall,bereviiewed and,updated on an annual basis. Thefannual update shall'include: (a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurrea f Element of the Site Overview); (b) d written're-certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of iron=stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management�Strategy).

PartIl Page 4 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 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 measureable storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity inust•be sampled'(See Definitions). A measurable -storm event is a,storm event that -results in an actual,discharge•from the permitted site outfall.:The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72, hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval:does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer.

If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response acfions under the previous permit,'the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the'provislons of this permit or the'Division. 2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative flutfall status (ROS) has been granted.. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. Ari on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a•local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. The permittee shall,complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two" response. Inability tosample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each Part Il Page 5 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 sample taken within the monitoring+period (see Part I11, Section E). However; for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results.from the first sample wilh-valid results within the monitoring period.

The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage before the subrtiittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be,considered for renewed coverage under the permit The permittee must continue analytical moniioring'througliout the permit renewal 6r ocess, even if a'renewal permit is not issued until after 6piration'of iliis'permit 2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling'period,'the permittee mu"st submit a monitdring report indicating "No Flow"'or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period. Failure to monitor semi-annually_per.pprmit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly,monitoring for all parameters for a_specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to'increase monitoring, increase management actions,'increase record keepir'ig, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs)'in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. 'In the event that the. Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two. or Tier Three, the Division's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent.reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

Tiek,.,One ifs The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall; . .. , Then: The* iftee shall: 1. Conducf a �stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance. 3. Identify potential; and select the specific feasible: source controls, `operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations within the benchmark range. 4. Implemenhe,selected feasible actions within two mont_ hs,of the inspection. 5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented. 6. Note: Benchmark exceedances fora different parameter separately trigger a tiered response. TierTwo if: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are, above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat,all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters: The permittee shall conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample 'results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating' No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency. 5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP. 6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process. Part II Page 7 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 1E If.

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater pollution., Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalIs must be performed during a' measurable. storm event. Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring sliall be performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to'perform further qualitative in per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability tb monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented ted in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDN'dischai ging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See DeFnitions): In the everit 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 SPPP. Partit Page 8 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 4 Table 4.

Skvada, III Secretary November 3, 2014 Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000309 Schindler Elevator Corporation Sampson County Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure a thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains these significant changes from the facility's current permit: 1. Benchmarks have been revised for the following parameters: Aluminum has been adjusted to a value of 0.75 mg/L , Stormwater benchmarks are notpermit limits but are guidelines for implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark exceedance is NOT a permit violation; however, the permittee must respond to exceedances as directed in the Tiers. 2. You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during a "measureable storm event" as defined in Part 11, Section B. This term is different from the "representative storm event" in earlier permits. - 3. Vehicle maintenance monitoring parameters have been revised. "Non -Polar Oil & Grease" by Method 1664 (SGT-HEM) replaces Oil & Grease or TPH, This requirement appears in all individual stormwater permits; however, it only applies to facilities that perform vehicle maintenance activities (VMA) on -site. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permit cycle, the requirements shall apply. Also, pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated with VMA. 4. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been updated in Part 11, Section A. 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 on the front 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.

Large tanks are provided'with secondary containment structures. Smaller containers, such as 55 gallon drums, are kept within the plant and are inspected on a regular basis for signs of leakage or deterioration. • Petroleum drums are arranged to allow for easy inspection. Drums are labeled and kept closed except when product is added or removed. 3.0 SPILLS If a spill should occur the following tasks are implemented • Stop the spill • Contain the spill • Clean up the spill • Dispose of spill material occurring to applicable waste regulations SSF161 Rev.01131105 4.0 MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION Inspect surrounding plant areas at least twice per year (preferably during or after a significant rainfall). Inspector will observe conditions to determine if stormwater controls are operating correctly and that the best management practices are being observed. Whenever stormwater management control measures are not working properly, or the best management practices are not being implemented, steps will be taken to repair and correct conditions and/or ensure that BMPs (best management practices) are followed. immediately. Inspection personnel are trained in the following topics: • Location and type of control measures Maintenance requirements for each of the control measures • Spill prevention and cleanup measures • Inspection and record keeping measures SSF161 Rev.01/31/05 Schindler Step Plant NCS000309 609 Industrial Drive Clinton NC, 28328 Analytical and Visual Monitoring Results Summary(Sample Twice per Year) 2103 TSS PH Aluminum Lead Color Odor Outfall 1 7.5 6.52 <.20 <,001 light Brown no Outfall 2 10.5 6.54 <.20 0.00141 light Brown no Outfall 1 6.1 Data from lab not retumed light Broom no Outfall 2 6.2 at this time light Brown no 2012 TSS PH Aluminum Lead Color Odor Outfall 1 70A 8.B 0.32 <.005 light Brown no Outfall 2 117 6.8 0.25 <.005 light Brown no Outfall 1 10,6 6.1 <-20 <.005 light Brown no Outfall 2 <.5o 6.2 <.20 <.005 light Brown no 2011 TSS PH Aluminum Lead Color Odor Outfall 1 <5 6.35 0.28 <1.0 light Brown no Outfall 2 18.2 5.87 0.6 3.48 light Brown no Outfall 1 12 5.54 <-20 <.005 light Brown no Outfall 2 12.4 5.6 0.29 <.005 light Brown no 2010 TSS PH Aluminum Lead Color Odor Outfall 1 <5.00 6.12 0.058 <.001 light Brown no Outfall 2 <5:00 B-05 0.226 <.001 light Brown no Outfall 1 19 5.5 0.5 na Outfall2 22.7, 4.82 0.26 na 2009 TSS PH- Aluminum Lead Color Odor Outfall 1 •5.68 5.78 0.86 na Outfall2 5.38 5.38 1.1 na Clarity Floating Solids Suspended Solids Foam oil sheen erosion 1 2 1 no no no 1 1 1 no no no 1 2 1 no no no 1 1 1 no no no Clarity Floating Solids Suspended Solids Foam oil sheen erosion 2 2 2 no no no 2 1 1 no no no 2 2 2 no no no 2 1 1 no no no Clarity Floating Solids Suspended Solids Foam ail sheen erosion 2 2 2 no no no 2 2 2 no no no 2 1 1 no no no 2 1 1 no no no Clarity Floating Solids Suspended Solids Foam oil sheen erosion 2 2 2 no no no 2 2 2 no no no Clarity Floating Solids Suspended Solids Foam oil sheen erosion poor sampling -technique for solids poor sampling technique for solids AFFIDAVIT OF PUBLICATION NORTH CAROLINA Cumberland County NCDIV.OFrMROY >tinNERAL,AND Before the undersigned, a Notary Public of said County and state, duly RMIMCS,A.S'i' M%VA ERMUr LAINIDEDIS!

Skvarla, III Secretary November 3, 2014 Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000309 Schindler Elevator Corporation Sampson County Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure a thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains these significant changes from the facility's current permit: 1. Benchmarks have been revised for the following parameters: Aluminum has been adjusted to a value of 0.75 mg/L . Stormwater benchmarks are not'permit limits but are guidelines for implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark exceedance is NOT a permit violation; however, the permittee must respond to exceedances as directed in the Tiers. 2. You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during a "measureable storm event" as defined in Part II, Section B. This term is different from the "representative storm event" in earlier permits. 3. Vehicle maintenance monitoring parameters have been revised. "Non -Polar Oil & Grease" by Method 1664 (SGT-HEM) replaces Oil & Grease or TPH. This requirement appears in all individual stormwater permits; however, it only applies to facilities that perform vehicle maintenance activities (VMA) on -site. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permit cycle, the requirements shall apply. Also, pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated with VMA. 4. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been updated in Part I1, Section A. 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 on the front 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.

Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit. If industrial materials and 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. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Ce/rtificatAn/ Notice of Intent (NO[) form to the Division; must receive approval by the ❑iVlsio mu�tl dint, no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPD S-sl'orm�ater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually. n SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES Until this permit expires or is rdodifed,br rdyoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater to the surface waste of �Narth-Carolina or separate storm sewer system that '\ \; µ")' has been adequately treated and.riganaged%in accordance with the terms and conditions of this permit. All stormwater discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this permit. Any other point source dis =ha�rg�e t/o surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval. The stormwater discharges allowed by this permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards. This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.

A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate'the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. Part II Page 1 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually 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 III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3. 2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: ' (a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and the methods of operations and/or storage pr�cti of materials and processes to rainfall and r -on fk permittee shall prevent exposure of all sto gea and manufacturing or fueling operations.

Secondary containment is required for: bulk t r �e,ofJ.i&A"I materials: storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the S�i `�"' WAme'■'n",Yl m,ents and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals; and story"'e:�m any amount of hazardous substances. in order to prevent leaks and spills from 'ntaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and6t ored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained.A the secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyance=systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism). 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 accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any material. 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 (S) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a Part II Page 2 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. 3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficieneto completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements%f the SPCC with the SPRP may be'incorporated by reference into the SPRP. %r z/\ \_ h. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping progr m shh bi:`developed and implemented. The program shall address all stormwatercontrol,systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacefft sdrface•vvaters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material stoAge /ea4material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloa in�(are s ,and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural MPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and -housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment facility/ areas, and facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposur�±or sto4water pollution where not already addressed under another element of the(SPP.P. inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these -areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP. 5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part 11 B, C, and D of this permit. 6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. Part it Page 3 of ll Permit No. NCS000309 7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided. B. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include: (a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks o pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spill}, shave oc urred(element of the Site Overview); 1 r^ter (b) awritten re -certification that the sto mtfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater disci., es,(element of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of the-effectiyeness of the on -site stormwater '; •i:-x BMPs (BMP Summary element di the'Storinwater Management Strategy). (d) a review and comparison of semplLandlyt►cal data to benchmark values (if applicable) over the past year,}�fcluding a discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee ehah s� h Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report(DMR)aform, available from the Stormwater Permitting Programs website:�SeeMoriitoring Farms here: The Director may notifyjhe,pe6ittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements'of.'tl a permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part II1, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. 9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. Part ❑ Page 4 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 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 measureable storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions. Table 1. Analytical Monitoring Requirements P X, ,7 Discharge Measurement Sample Sample Characteristics Units Frequencyl Type?

When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative outfall status (110S) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two" response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each Part ll Page 5 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part III, Section E).

IF ing period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report within 30 days of the end of the sampling period. Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. 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. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

Benchmark Values for Analytical Monitoring Discharge Characteristics Units Benchmark Total Suspended Solids (TSS) mg/L 100 Aluminum mg/L 0.75 pH standard 6 - 9. The benchmark values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for implementation of the permittee's SPPP. An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this permit is a violation of permit conditions. n Tier One if: The first valid sampling results are above a benchrna.rVvalue, o _outside of the benchmark range, for rameter at any ou Then: The permittee shall: 1. Conduct a stormwater management i sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes 3.

Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedenc4fhe inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date tlie•selected actions were implemented. 6. Note: Benchmark exceedanc s for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response. Tier Two if. The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency. 5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP. 6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process. Part li Page 7 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 ° Tier Three If: The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results; Then: The Division may but is not Iimited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for some or all of the parameters herein; • require sampling of additional or substitute parameters; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to *utaliF for a No Exposure Exclusion; • require the permittee to continue Tier Three oblie'atiohrough the Dermit renewal Drocess. SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQU The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate thffectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identi ne of ntial sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwatou •falls must be performed during a measurable storm event. Qualitative monitoring requires k. uisua inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status. Quali ti' monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and during req ired analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform furtl% qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inabili'ltomenitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and fre corded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions). 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 SPPP. Part 11 Page 8 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 Table 4.

A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part II Page 9 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some or all parameters (analytical or qualitative) • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or + require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion. SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING R QUIREMENTS Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activii , occurring on -site which uses more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month shall perform analytical monitoring as spec�4 monitoring shall be performed during a meast discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge Moral and in accordance with the schddule.Msentf!

If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division. 2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall be begun within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (00) that discharges stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. Part II Page 10 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain guage may be substituted for an on -site reading. Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period, as provided in Part 11 Section B. Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 6. The benchmark values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Sxceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Pr .'ctiees (BMPs), as provided in Part I1 Section B. t:y41 . 1: Table 6.

A table or summary of all such tanks and6tored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be mainta ned.•Itthe secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyance -systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism). 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 accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any material. 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 (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a PartII Page 2 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. 3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficienfto completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elemenY��bf the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. 4. Preventative Maintenance- and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping progr m-shall,b�,developed and implemented. The program shall address all stormwater controhsystems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent sdrfa�e•waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material sto6ge i�reas%material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and �uitload\ g(are4s,.and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and -housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposureor stormwater pollution where not already addressed under another element of the( skp_,pection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these•areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP. S. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part 11 B, C, and D of this permit. 6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. Part ll Page 3 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided. 8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include: (a) an updated list ofsignificantspills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills+hae "occurred (element of the Site Overview); ' (b) a written re-certif cation that the stLmlater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater dischares element of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of theeffectiueness of the on -site stormwater BMPs (BMP Summary element 6H U'"St�ormwater Management Strategy). (d) a review and comparison ofsamp anNalytical data to benchmark values (if applicable) over the past yAr, i cluding a discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall us the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Repo(DMRj rm, available from the Stormwater Permitting Program's websitel(5ee�Mo" 'Monitoring Forms' here: or a . �e r .we lr es- t r r).

Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part II[, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. 9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. Part II Page 4 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 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 measureable storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions. Table 1.

If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division. 2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative outfall status (110S) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two" response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each Part II Page 5 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 t sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part Ill, Section E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results from the first sample with -valid resiAlts within the monitoring period.

Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. 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. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

Benchmark Values for Analytical Monitoring Discharge Characteristics Units Benchmark Total Suspended Solids (TSS) mg/L 100 Aluminum mg/L 0.75 pH standard 6-9 The benchmark values in Table 3 are nolermit limits but should be used as guidelines for implementation of the permittee's SPPP. An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this permit is a violation of permit conditions. Tier One If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, `or-oufside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall: Then: The permittee shall: 1.

Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence�:the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date tlie.sel_ected actions were implemented. 6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response. Tier Two If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific earameter at a specific discharge outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly, monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency. 5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP. 6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process. Part II Page 7 of l l Permit No. NCS000309 Tier. Three . If: The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results; Then: The Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for some or all of the parameters herein; • require sampling of additional or substitute parameters; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to ua,lify for a No Exposure Exclusion; • require the Dermittee to continue Tier Three oblidationsithroueh the Dermit renewal Droce SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identi€y nee q otential sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater ouffdlls must be performed during a measurable storm event. Qualitative monitoring q re uires -visua inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless o ,h 9 f representative outfall status. Pa it ti. nsve monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and dung req iced analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform furt er qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inabili�tombKitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP an rerecorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions). 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 SPPP. Part II Page 8 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 Table 4.

If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part II Page 9 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some or all parameters (analytical or qualitative) • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

The SPPP oontains all permit -required components, however needs documentation of an annual revlew/update. The annual update should include an updated list i of any significant spills during the previous three years or notation that none have occurred, written re -certification that the I stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of any non-stormwater discharges, and a re-evaluation of the effectiveness of BMPs. Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring records were complete..A review and discussion of the draft permit renewal was conducted.. It was relayed that the Benchmark Value. for aluminum was incorreoily listed in the currenttexplred permit as 30mgtL and .will be revised in the renewed permit as 0.75mgtL. Historical analytical date for the facility showed that past monitoring results were below this revised benchmark. Observations of site conditions were made including outside storage areas and stormwateir outfalls. Facility appeared to be well operated and maintained.

Partit Page 4 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 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 measureable storm event at � stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer.

When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two" response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each PartI l Page 5 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part 111, Section E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

Failure to monitor semi-annuallyper permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. 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. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

The permittee shall conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. if no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow' to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency. S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP. 6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process. Part II Page 7 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 If The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results; _ Then: The Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for some or all of the parameters herein; • require sampling of additional or substitute parameters; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or require the permittee implement site modifications to require the permittee to continue Tier Three SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQU The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evalflla'te th Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identi n of pollution.

Inabili to mSnitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP an ecorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions). 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 SPPP. Part 11 Page 8 of 11 Permit No, NCS000309 Table 4.

A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part II Page 9 of 11 Permit No. NCS000309 Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the Division may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some or all parameters (analytical or qualitative) • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

Large tanks are provided'with secondary containment structures. Smaller containers, such as 55 gallon drums, are kept within the plant and are inspected on a regular basis for signs of leakage or deterioration. • Petroleum drums are arranged to allow for easy inspection. Drums are labeled and kept closed except when product is added or removed. 3.0 SPILLS If a spill should occur the following tasks are implemented • Stop the spill • Contain the spill • Clean up the spill • Dispose of spill material occurring to applicable waste regulations SSF161 Rev.01131105 4.0 MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION Inspect surrounding plant areas at least twice per year (preferably during or after a significant rainfall). Inspector will observe conditions to determine if stormwater controls are operating correctly and that the best management practices are being observed. Whenever stormwater management control measures are not working properly, or the best management practices are not being implemented, steps will be taken to repair and correct conditions and/or ensure that.BMPs (best management practices) are followed. immediately. Inspection personnel are trained in the following topics: • Location and type of control measures • Maintenance requirements for each of the control measures • Spill prevention and cleanup measures • Inspection and record keeping measures SSF161 Rev.01/31/05 Schindler Step Plant NCS000309 609 Industrial Drive Clinton NC, 28328 Analytical and Visual Monitoring Results Summary(Sample Twice per Year) TO 2103 TSS PH �� Alum um Lead tTai Color Odor Clarity Floating Solids Suspended Solids Foam oil sheen erosion Outfall 1 7.5 6.52 <.20 <.001 light Brown no 1 2 1 no no no Outfall 2 10.5 6.54 <.20 0.00141 light Brown no 1 1 1 no no no Outfall 1 6.1 Data from ab not retu ned light Brown no 1 2 1 no no no Outfall 2 6.2 at this timi 1 light Brown no 1 1 1 no no no t. 2012 TSS PH Aluminum Lead Color Odor Clarity Floating Solids Suspended Solids Foam oil sheen erosion Outfall 1 -1 G 70. 6.8 0.32 <.DQS light Brown no 2 2 2 no no no poor sampling -technique for solids Outfall 2 6.8 0.25 <A05� D light Brown no 2 1 1 no no no poor sampling technique for solids Outfall 1 10.6 6.1 <.20 <.005 j T light Brown no 2 2 2 no no no Outfall 2 cSD '� 6.2 <.2-D <.00 light Brown no 2 1 1 no no no 2011 f SS PH Aluminum Lead rg� Color Odor Clarity Floating Solids Suspended Solids Foam oil sheen erosion Outf 11 light Brown no 2 2 2 no no no Outfall 2 18:2 5.87 0.6 3.48 1� light Brown no 2 2 2 no- no no 6UffaIFT-12 5.54 .20 .005 light Brown no 2 1 1 no no no Outfall 2 12.4 5.5 0.29 <.005 light Brown no 2 1 1 no no no 2010 rss PH AJumInum ead Color Odor Clarity Floating Solids Suspended Solids Foam oil sheen erosion Outfall 1 ' .00 6.12 { 0.058 •001 light Brown no 2 2 2 no no no Outfall 2 5:OD 6.05 I t�.2"26 .001 light Brown no 2 2 2 no no no Outfall1 10 -r3 5.5 (DL0.5 ia Outfall2 22.7jp 4.82 0.28 a rror , 2009 SS H luminu ead Color Odor Clarity Floating Solids Suspended Solids Foam oil sheen erosion Ouifall 1 5.68 5.76 0.8 a utfa 2 5:38 5.38 1.1 T55: i11ir(e9C6---a^e, asurewvan4S) (o.-,s,t� R ` � rl Pb •t s � � �" � erg � �" �r� r1e �t'@-'r� for I nII .....ram NCDENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Beverly Eaves Perdue Coleen H.

Sampson County Dear Mr. Spell: DWQ Enclosed with this Ietter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. PIease 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 facility's current permit: Ana_Iytical monitoring changes: 1.. Analytical monitoring parameters have been added to this permit. 2. pH has been added,to the analytical monitoring requirements. 3.. 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. 4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. 5. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in Part II Section 13, QuaIitative monitoring is required regardless of representative outfalI status. 6. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. 7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in tl* permit, however.) 8.

Impairment: Not impaired. 3. Threatened and Endangered: None. 4. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: Eliminated some types of chemicals used. Improved secondary containment in waste processing area of building. 5. Analytical Monitoring_ Notes: None required, none submitted. 6. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Performed as required. No items of concern recorded. Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring: 1. Add pH, Aluminum, and TSS to the analytical monitoring. 2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part 1I 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, of outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. 4. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in Part 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 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 Page 3 of 5 NCS000309 ensure that they do -not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section A. 2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More . details regarding secondary containment are provided. 3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges. , ' 4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater management controls as specified in Part II Section A. 5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit.

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.

Improved secondary containment in waste processing area of building. 5. Anal ical Monitoring Notes: None required, none submitted. 6. Oualitative Monitoring Notes: Performed as required. No items of concern recorded. Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring: 1. Add pH, Aluminum, and TSS to the analytical monitoring. 2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days of the end of the six -month -sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2. 3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to.increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the benchmark'values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier I 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 Page 3 of 5 NCS000309 ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges.
