Previous permit did have tier system. o Data reviewed from 2009 through 2017. A few parameters did show exceedances over this time period and these values will be retained in the permit monitoring. o Oil and Grease, TP, TN, Ethylene Glycol and MBAS were consistently below the benchmark values and have been removed from the permit. o Parameters remaining in permit —TSS, BOD, COD and pH o Tier structure adjusted to have the three levels as in current permits. o Parameter codes added to permit. • Discussed site issues with facility contact — Jason Greenwood. Since the last permit there have only been minor changes. They have added production involving titanium (7ppm) and this is the only new material. Process only involves one run a year for approximately 5 days. Site has two detention ponds. One pond drains into the second and most site drainage goes through both. Some drainage along storage rail track goes to the second pond only. In discussing the problems they were having with benchmarks he indicated they felt some of the issues were with the lab. I forwarded them the link to the DWR list of certified labs. • Facility drains to a UT to Back creek in the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin, a class WS-II; HOW stream. 2014 Assessment Report 13-2-3-3-(0.3} shows no impairment of concern for this facility in this area. • NC National Heritage review — Report shows no record of species of concern. • WSRO — Draft permit and related information sent to the region for comment by email on 3/20/18. Sue White in WSRO conducted site visit on 3/28/18 and submitted comments through email that same day. They are okay with changes and the facility was in compliance. Sue noted that they were having problems with TSS but she felt this was more from the way they were taking their samples. They were collecting from the bottom of the outlet pipe. She has advised that they make some adjustments to the riser in the pond and install a "v" notch weir at the outlet for proper sampling. Bennett, Bradley From: White, Sue Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2018 10:04 AM To: Bennett, Bradley Subject: Ncs0003S4 Starpet Hi Bradley: Went to site this morning. Looks good. Two ponds, pond 1 drains to pond 2. Everything on site drains to either or both. They were having trouble with suspended solids but I believe it was their sampling procedure. They were scooping from the bottom of the outlet pipe. I'm having them fix their riser pipe for longer retention and put a v notch weir at the end of the outlet so they can catch the sample as it flows over. I believe this will fix the ss issues. The site is pretty clean so they shouldn't be having these issues. Once they fix the riser they probably won't even discharge very often! Let me know if you need additional info.

As far as digging out a pond, unless it's impacting your ability to clear suspended debris, it should be fine. Your pond was definitely not full of sediment. It has a nice vegetated bed so I wouldn't disturb it. The reason your samples are showing high values for suspended solids is your sampling technique. Currently you all scoop up the water from the bottom of the pipe and you're also scooping up the solids that are there. The purpose of the makeshift weir is so you are getting your sample from falling water and not scooping up still water. You could also dig down at the outlet of the pipe forming a plunge pool, line it with riprap so it doesn't erode and get your sample where it spills out of the pipe. Just so your samples are from moving water and not still water. As far as the riser pipe goes, replacing the pipe would cause a lot of disturbance to the pond. You can do it if you want to. You just need to allow the stormwater retention time for the solids to settle out. As it is now, the holes in the riser aren't allowing any retention time so your pond isn't doing its job. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

The pipe coming out of the ground in the pond (that the pond water would overflow to go to the outfall) has holes in it. 1" diameter holes drilled through every -1 high and -2" between holes at the same height. Sediment has covered up the bottom hoes and water from the ground is continuous coming to the outfall. These low and covered up holes are likely why the pond never holds water (not that we want to hold water and grow mosquitos) Does the pond need to be dug out? Should we dig around the pipe and pour concrete around the pipe to cover up the holes underground? How high off the ground should the lowest hole be?

She had the recommended actions: 1. Install a weir at the outfall - approximately 1 foot high with a "V" to catch the sample as it overflows the weir (forcing all the water to go over the wall). The current sampling method of scooping is not appropriate and can picture while sampling taken on 3/20/18 during last stormwater outfall sample - waiting for test results) 2. Plug all but the top two rows of the second pond outlet pipe. Currently it looks like water has cut a path to the lowest hole and keeps the pond from any retention/detention. Shawn Ward said it would be best to replace the 3. As needed put some riprap in both the ditch between our 2 ponds and in the small ditch corning from the Universal property. 4. Remove any unneeded items from bone yard and either move the items outside maintenance shop to the bone yard or put a shelter over them. Thank you, Jason Greenwood Sr. Technical Manager StarPet Inc.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000354 Starpet, Inc. Randolph County Dear Mr. Greenwood: Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from the facility's current permit: 1. You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during "measurable storm events" as defined in Part 11, Section B. This term is different from the "representative storm event" in earlier permits. 2. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in Part 11, Section A. 3. Monitoring requirements in the draft permit have changed. Monitoring is required for BOD, COD, TSS and pH. After review of monitoring data from the past 10 years the results for the other parameters have remained well below the previously established benchmark level. The draft permit proposes to remove these parameters (Oil & Grease, Total Phosphorous, Total Nitrogen, Ethylene Glycol, WAS and Cobalt). Comments from our regional staff or other information may result in maintaining iron if it is apparent that your activities in some way have the potential to release this pollutant. Stormwater benchmarks remain in the permit as before. Keep in mind that benchmarks are not permit limits, but rather guidelines for implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark exceedance is not a permit violation; however, the permittee must State ar North Carolina i, E,tnv if-,m ilal Q dity i P..ncrgy, tiimnI and f, am! Rmourws 1612 Mail Service Criaer 1 512 North Salisbury Street ; Raleigh, NC 27699-1612 9197079200 i NC50003S4 Draft Permit Page 2 respond to exceedances. The draft permit has modified the tiered response process for benchmark exceedances consistent with other permits in our program. Please become familiar with the tiered process as proper response under the tiers may be enforceable items under your permit. Response to the tiered process may include review of onsite conditions, installation of BMPs or requirements for more frequent monitoring. 4. Vehicle maintenance (Tables 4 & 5) monitoring parameters have been revised. Non -Polar Oil & Grease (EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)} replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. The benchmark for Non -polar Oil & Grease using this method is 15 mg/L. This requirement appears in all individual stormwater permits; however, it only applies to facilities that perform onsite vehicle maintenance activities. 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 vehicle maintenance activities. S. Language has been added under Part fl Section D to address potential responses to qualitative monitoring issues. 6. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part ll, Section E to comply with federal regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring reports. Our electronic submittal process is not available for use at this time, but we will continue to provide feedback on when this process will be available. 7. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal law in Part ill, Section A, 2(b) and (g). Please review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days following your receipt of the draft. Comments may be emailed to me at bradley.benn ett2ncdenr.gov or mailed to my attention at NC DEMLR, Stormwater Permitting Program, 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612. With this notification the Division will solicit comment on this draft by publishing a notice in a local newspaper. Following the 30 day public comment period, the Division will review comments and take appropriate action prior to issuance of the final permit.

Ken From: Pickle, Ken Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2016 4:32 PM To: 'Greenwood, Jason' Cc: Crabtree, Mike Subject: RE: StarPet Stormwater Permit NCS000354 - ISO audit Mr. Greenwood, Our database shows that we received your renewal application on October 11, 2013. We consider that date to constitute timely application for renewal. Our stormwater permitting program is a delegated program from EPA, and North Carolina has adopted by reference the federal NPDES rules at 40 CFR 122, and specifically 40 CFR 122.26 for stormwater. The federal rule anticipates the present circumstance by providing that when a permittee makes timely application for permit renewal, but the permitting agency is late in delivering the requested permit coverage, the prior permit remains in effect, despite any expiration date that may appear on the permit. This is your case exactly. Federal rule protects you against liability for "discharging without a permit", provided you continue to abide by the permit. Your current permit remains in effect; please continue to abide by it. We have a substantial backlog of other stormwater permits, and I cannot provide you with a reliable estimate of when we will be able to pick up your renewal application and process it. Please contact me with any questions.

From: Crabtree, Mike [mailto:mike.crabtree@us.lndorama.net] Sent: Monday, August 11, 2014 2:49 PM To: Pickle, Ken Subject: Memo's on letter head Mr. Pickle, I appreciate your time this afternoon and look forward to your response to the two items we discussed. They were: 1. Our permit renewal was sent 120 days instead of 180 days as addressed in our current Storm Water Permit. We discussed that currently that is not a big concern with your unit/management. That's correct, see my Background comments below. You also discussed that the new permit will have new guidelines and these boilerplate statements will be deleted. Sorry, _mZmistake durinQour phone call. It is true that we are eliminating the 180-day deadline in our General Permits, but you have an individual permit NC5000354. All our current individual permits still contain the 180-day deadline, and we have no plans to change that. Backaround: The 180-dav reauirement in vour hermit reflects federal rule at 40 CFR 122.21(d)(2). That federal rule establishes the 180-day deadline with the exception that we may grant permission to submit later than the deadline. In practice we consider that trying to implement strict adherence to the 180-daydeadline would be an unfruitful, inefficient use of our limited monpower._So, one interpretation of our actions could be that in practice we de facto grant permission to submit later than the 180 days on a routine basis. In some circumstances it might help us in the execution of our administrative functions 1L our permittegs would strict!y observe the 180-day deadline but it they don't we i0st workaround it. In my eleven nears in the Stormwater Permitting( Program I am not aware_ f ony instance in which we considered enforcement action based solely on a_late submittal of o renewal request. Our current permit requires that Qualitative and Quantitative analysis must be done at the same time . That's correct. We discussed that given certain situations, ,that is not the case. Le. A good visual sample can be obtained but the lab performing the analysis cannot pick up the sample due to the time of day or the day of the week for the Quantitative analysis. The visual analysis can still be Used and sent to the NCDENR No. Your ermit provides that „visual monitoring records are to be kept on site, and it specifies that visual monitoring records should not be sent to NCDENR. as a standalone Qualitative sample. Further discussion: • 1 note that while vour current permit does require concurrent"monitbrina, the 2001 version of NCS000354 did not contain_a requirement for concurrent visual and analytical monitoring. We began requiring concurrent visual and analytical monitoring on individual permits written between 2005 (concurrent monitoring not required) and 2007 (concurrent monitoring_required.) • Today in our other individual permits we are tontinuina to require that visual monitoring be performed concurrently with the analytical monitoring. • The permit provisions seem reasonable to us under most circumstances. 1 mean, normally it seems to us to be no extra burden to take the visual observations at the sometime as the analytical sampling. It seems to us at least possible that if there are problems detected at on outfoll via one monitoring method,_ the concurrent analytical and visual sompling may provide a benefit in interpretino' the problem results. This was our purpose in combinina the two methods oL monitoring. it also seems a natural convenience to accomplish both obli otions on one visit to the outfalls. • However, we are amenable to minor revisions/interpretations of what monitoring approach is feasible and expeditious under unusual site conditions or timing constraints. o Consider that during drought periods, an infrequent rain occurring on a Friday afternoon might make a visual sample easillyobtained, but collection of a sample for lab analysis might be problematic, in that a particular contract lab may not be prepared to work over the weekend. And if no other rain occurs in the monitoring Qeriod the permittee would at least hove his visual observation, rather than neither visual nor analytical. But we think this is a very unusual circumstance. o Or, perhaps there are other unimagined site constraints that would argue for separating the visual and analytical monitoring. We would be open to discussing those. o While this moy be a minor point in so for as protecting North Carolina's surface watersgiven that the text of the permit clearly requires concurrent monitoring, any deviation from that should be supported at least by a letter from DEMLR agreeing to the revised implementation of permit conditions. Such an agreement and letter would be based on a site visit from the DEMLR Regional Office inspector, and on his interpretation of site conditions and on the sianificance of the requested variance from ,permit conditions. o As an alternative to a letter from DEMLR, a permit revision at the time of the re -issuance of your permit is another option. That re -issuance is now pending, but i can't 2rovide you a reliable estimate of when we will accomplish the renewal, Similar to a DEMLR letter, the permit revision would be based on an understanding and evaluation of the special site conditions that argue for separating the visual and analytical monitoring events. Thanks in advance for your time and help. Mike, here are my summary responses to your two questions. 1. Your renewal submittal at 120 days instead of 180 days is not a bia deal for us. We anticipate no further action on this topic related to NCS000354. 2. We think the concurrent visual and analytical monitoring is a good requirement in the permit. We are open to your invitation to a site inspection so that we can consider either a permit revision, or a DEMLR letter clarifying the implementation of visual and analytical monitoring. As of today, we anticipate no further action on this topic related to NCS000354. We are always open to considering revisions to the monitoring re uirements: a site inspection would be a necessary first step in considering any revision. Please contact me again if 1 can help further. Sincerely. Ken Best Regards, Mike Crabtree Senior Manager HR / HSES Indorama Ventures StarPet Inc. 801 Pineview Rd.

This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this general permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items: Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of stonnwater discharges. The site plan shall contain t6,following: (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangl'e,map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters, the name,of"the receiving waters) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, Jor;if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system; the nam'eufthe municipality and the ultimate receiving waters, and accurate latitude/and longitude of the point(s) of discharge. The general locationlmap (onalternatively the site map) shall identify whether each receiving water is impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or is located in a watershed�foi which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameter(s) of concern are. North Carolina's 303(d) List can be found here: http:/ih2o.enr.state.,n'c.us/tmdUGencral 303d.htm#Downloads North Carolina TMDL documents can be found here: htt]2*//h2o.enr.state.ne.us/tmdl/TMDL list.htm#Final TMDLs. (b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn to scale (including a distance legend) showing: 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, all drainage features and structures, drainage areas for each outfall, direction of flow in each drainage area, industrial activities occurring in each drainage area, buildings, existing BMPs, and impervious surfaces.

Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Coleen H. Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality November 14, 2008 Mr. Michael D. Crabtree StarPet, Inc. 801 Pineview Road Asheboro, NC 27203 Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Inspection StarPet, Inc. Permit No. NCS000354 Randolph County Dear Mr. Crabtree: On November 13, 2008, Mike Mickey of this office met with you to perform a NPDES Stormwater Permit Inspection at the StarPet facility in Asheboro. The inspection found StarPet to be compliant with the stormwater permit. This inspection evaluated the five (5) areas as designated on the attached inspection form. Observations from each area are addressed below: 1. Permit StarPet holds NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCS000354 for the discharge of stormwater from the facility. The permit expired on December 31, 2006 and StarPet requested renewal June 29, 2006. This inspection was conducted in response to your renewal request. Comments from this office have been sent to our Central Office recommending that the permit renewed. Hopefully, they can accomplish that in the near future. 2. Records/Reports Part 11, Section A of the permit requires the development of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A copy of StarPet's SPPP was reviewed during the inspection. The plan, dated March 2006, appeared to be thorough and complete. Please note that Item 7 of Part A requires the plan be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. 3. Facility Site Review The facility recently completed an expansion that includes new truck and railcar unloading areas. A tour of the property found the site to be clean and well managed. 4. Effluent/Receiving Waters Stormwater from the site is discharged from a single outfall after being routed through two sediment basins. The stormwater eventually reaches an unnamed tributary to Back Creek, Class "WS-II, HWQ" Waters in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin.

Monitoring Program Part II, Section B of the permit requires the collection of annual analytical samples of the stormwater discharge during a representative storm event. A review of the facility files found that StarPet is performing this sampling as required. Please note that the results should be submitted to the Division no later than 30 days from the date that you receive the sampling results from your laboratory. Part 11, Section C of the permit requires that qualitative (visual) monitoring be performed and documented semi-annually. StarPet is also performing this monitoring as required. Please note that the qualitative records do not need to be submitted to the Division, however, they must be kept on file at the facility for a period of five years. Analytical monitoring for on -site vehicle maintenance listed in Section D of the permit is not required since StarPet does not use more that 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year. Your efforts to comply with the stormwater permit are appreciated. If you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact Mike Mickey or me at (336) 771-5000. Sincerely, Steve W.

New silos constructed for all of these except Therminol 66 and Therminol VPI. Smaller storage tanks constructed in the CP2 building for Therminol 66 and Therminol VP 1. 6. Analytical Monitoring Notes: No monitoring done the first year of the last permit term. Otherwise, monitoring done as required. They continued monitoring as required after the permit expired. A total of nine events were submitted. Most sample results are under the current benchmarks. One oil & grease sample had a value greater than the benchmark; two samples that had high BOD; two high values for COD; three high for TSS. The last two samples showed elevated Cobalt values, EPA's Multi -Sector General Permit for this SIC code only lists Zinc to be monitored for. 7. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: No items of concern. Light brown color noted for majority,of samples. Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring: 1. Continue all parameters from the last permit term. 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 .i require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or Y' '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. 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. 6. The permittee is 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 this permit, however.) 8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. Page 3 of 5 NCS000354 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.

(October 19, 2005) — The announcement was made possible in part by a $75,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund. �[ 10/19/2005 ] By:NEWS BRIEF [-- r'sE StarPet, makers of polymer resins used in food and beverage packaging, will expand its facility in Asheboro, creating 40 new jobs and investing $44 million during the next three years. The announcement was made possible in part by a S75,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund. StarPet is a wholly -owned subsidiary of lndorama Polymers PLC, based in Thailand. The Asheboro location, its only U.S. facility, manufactures polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polymer resins used in food and beverage containers such as soda, water and juice bottles. "Continued growth of our business has made it necessary to expand our operations in North America," said Anil Lohia, chief executive officer of StarPet. "Asheboro is the logical choice for our expansion since we have a dedicated and highly -skilled team to build on from the outstanding work force available in this area. The business -friendly climate in North Carolina and support from local and state authorities further convinced us that this location was the right choice." The One North Carolina Fund assists the state in recruiting and expanding quality jobs by providing financial assistance to businesses or industries deemed by the governor to be vital to a healthy and growing state economy. Through the use of this Fund, 17,000 jobs and $2 billion in investment have been created since 2001.

Owner's Other Permits: RCRA ID # NCR000004218 2. General Observations: Samples are taken at the outlet of the pond on the site. 3. Impairment: None. 4. Threatened and Endangered: None. 5. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: There is a new truck unloading area for isophthalic acid from tankers; new rail car unload system for terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. Increased quantity of the following onsite: Therminol 66, Therminol VP1, ethylene glycol, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, polyethylene terephthalate. New silos constructed for all of these except Therminol 66 and Therminol VP 1. Smaller storage tanks constructed in the CP2 building for Therminol 66 and Therminol VP 1. 6. Analytical Monitoring Notes: No monitoring done the first year of the last permit term. Otherwise, monitoring done as required. They continued monitoring as required after the permit expired. A total of nine events were submitted. Most sample results are under the current benchmarks. One oil & grease sample had a value greater than the benchmark; two samples that had high BOD; two high values for COD; three high for TSS. The last two samples showed elevated Cobalt values. EPA's Multi -Sector General Permit for this SIC code only lists Zinc to be monitored for. 7. Qualitative Monitoring otes: No items of concern. Light brown color noted for majority of samples. Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring: 1. Continue all parameters from the last permit term. 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 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. 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. 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. 6. The permittee is 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 this permit, however.) 8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative monitoring. Page 3 of 5 NCS000354 f Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit: l . Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part 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. 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. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A. Discussions with permittee: Michael Crabtree, 336-672-0101 x307, October 28, 2008 1. Q: Verify SIC code and industry? a. ANSWER: manufacture PET polymer plastic in a chip form, sell it to be made into food containers. 2. Q: Any spills or anything that would explain the elevated values of cobalt and ethylene glycol? a. ANSWER: No. Have doubled plant size and amount of steel pipes. 3. Q: Are unloading/loading areas covered? a. ANSWER: they are covered. 4. Q: Does the entire site drain to the pond? a. ANSWER: yes. Have added a second pond downstream before leaving site.

Randolph County Dear Mr. Crabtree: 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 significarit changes from this facility's current permit: Analytical monitoring changes:. _ - - 1. All analytical monitoring parameters have been continued from the previous permit term. 2. pH has been added to the analyticaI'mornitoring requirements as per our current monitoring strategy. 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 sampting 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 perfrittee to in_creas_e 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 guidelixtii 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-immediate.ly 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 B. QuaIitative monitoring is required regardless of w representative outfall status. 6.. You are responsiblefor 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.this permit, however.) 8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analyticalN�hCarol;na and Qualitative monitoring.

The general location'map,(or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether each receiving water is impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or is located in a water" hedjfor Which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameter(s) of concern1are. North Carolina's 303(d) List can be found here: http://h2o.enr.state ne.us/tmdl/Gencral_303d.htm#Downloads North Carolina TMDL documents can be found here: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/tmdl/TMDL list.htm#Final TMDLs. (b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn to scale (including a distance legend) showing: 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, all drainage features and structures, drainage areas for each outfall, direction of flow in each drainage area, industrial activities occurring in each drainage area, buildings, existing BMPs, and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the three (3) previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. Part I f Page] of 10 Permit No. NCS000354 (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. 2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: (a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical'and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations:Ih.areas where elimination of exposure is not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away f orn areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment.Requtrements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of he-S\perfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals:.and storage in any amount of hazardous substances. in order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all -such and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism), and any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released'if found to be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five years. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMP) 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 data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. Part I I Page 2 of 10 Permit No. NCS000354 3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan.

Facility personnel (or the team) 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 the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stonnwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP. 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A,preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program� shall;be developed. The program shall list all stormwater control systems, 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 structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspection's; maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential for-stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution. 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 in writing and maintained in the SPPP. 5. 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. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented and position assignments provided. 7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall include a re-evaluation of the Part II Page 3 or 10 Permit No. NCS000354 effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan. The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part III. Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes have been made. $. 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 required in Part II B and C of this permit. 9. Implementation. The permittee shall implement the�Plan. Implementation of the Plan shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance F activities, and training provided to employees,,including the log of the sampling data and � ♦�1F i / of actions taken to implement BMP§ associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activitie\S\,Such�documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available.to�theDirector or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. �I Part II Page 4 of 10 Permit No. NCS000354 SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge, and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the next 10 hours.

Identify potential, and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, or to bring concentrations to within the benchmark range. 4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection. 5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. 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. Part 11 Page 7 of 10 Permit No. NCS000354 Tier Two If: During the term of this permit, the first valid 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 roe►, (consecutive): Then: The permittee shall: l . Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two. consecutive samples. Monthly /`11 // (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue:until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values, or within the benchmark range, for all parameters at that outfall. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a �^ Jtmonthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow." 4. Maintain a record of the Tier Two res onse`in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. p During the term of this perml if the-�"Ta" lid 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 more than four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. DWQ may, but is not limited to: • require that the permittee increase or decrease the monitoring frequency for the remainder of the permit; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; or • require that the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for the No Exposure Exclusion. Part 11 Page 8 of 10 Permit No. NCS000354 SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified in Table 4, during the analytical monitoring event. [If analytical monitoring is not required, the permittee still must conduct semi- annual qualitative monitoring.] Qualitative monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources -of stormwater pollution. In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP. Table 4.

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 May 9, .1994 (or as subsequently amended). 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-off 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. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please take notice this permit is not transferable.

If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass. Individual Stormwater Page A10 (2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice within 24 hours of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part 11, E. 5, of this permit. (24- hour notice). d. Prohibition of Bypass Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass, unless: (1) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; (2) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary control facilities, retention of stormwater or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime or dry weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and (3) The pem-ittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section. The Director may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. of this section. 4. UAsets a. Definition "Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment or control facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. b. Effect of an Upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. Conditions Necessary for a Demonstration of Upset A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: (1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; Individual Stormwater Page A 11 (2) The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated; and (3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 5.
