All he conditions of this permit. Any other point source discharge�tos rface 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 mowed by this permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards. l � 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. Part I Page 1 of 2 Permit No. NCS000582 PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED DISCHARGES SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contributeto contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following: l (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle showing the facility's location in relation to name of the receiving waters to which the s is to a municipal separate storm sewer syst ultimate receiving waters; and accurate A discharge associated with industrial activit! /e .f site map) shall identify whether any rece vi list of impaired waters) o •lif the iFt`e is loal established, and what the parameters•of c Uj'iprop ,idly drafted equivalent map), por\tation routes and surface waters; the nter,outfalls discharge, or if the discharge ie name of the municipality and the ind-l'ongitude of the points of stormwater 'general location map (or alternatively the iters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) a watershed for which a TMDL has been )ncern are. (b) A narrative descriptiowo`f sto ge�ractices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust ors articulatb%enerating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormy ater-dfs'charge 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. (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. Part 11 Page 1 of 10 Permit No. NCS000582 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 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 areas 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 Record Micondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage~.an any amofint of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and ReauthAzation Act SAI(A) water priority chemicals: and storage in any amount of hazardous_substahces;,in order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table of summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary o t inment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connKte)d'to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by man a'lly`Iactiv "ted valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mec�ianimn). Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be4t�a mANum 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 thAi di ioualimaking 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 falilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan,(S�PCC), 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 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 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. Part II Page 2 of 10 Permit No. NCS000582 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping 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 facility 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 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. �\e. S. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility an4a`ll stor wateiptems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good House4ep ng Pro r�.at a minimum on a semi- annual schedule, once during the first half of the yelar Oanuary to June), and once during the second half Quly to December), with at least 60 da rsseparating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annuall . These�facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharg,cha�acte-ris& monitoring at the outfalls required in Part II B, C, and D of this permit. 6. Employee Training. Training`progk5m's\hall_be'developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis far Lcili personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activsr4ess, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate fortentified, ater, runoff. The facility personnel responsible for implementing the training4hall band their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 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 ofsignificant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview); (b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-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). (d) a review and comparison ofsample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Program's website (See 'Monitoring Forms' here: http:llporttal.ncdenr.orrgfweb/lr/npdes-stormwater). Part II Page 3 of 10 Permit No. NCS000582 The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP 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 SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part III, 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. SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUI 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 outfail (SDO). Only SDOs discharging s water"ussocrated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions)., y A measurable storm event is a st rm eventthafresults 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�oes,not4Tply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local,seorm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the loca4EMLR"'teR, onal En-aineer.

Part 11 Page 4 of 10 Permit No. NCS000582 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 (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 s mple collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of th�s.€�cility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Krio� sample�ates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two" res on� Ina _'litkfo sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in th�, he and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each sample;; er3� �: thin the monitoring period [see Part III, Section Q. However, for purposes of benchma compa _i on and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results from 1< rtsamle yvith valid results within the monitoring period. w►� Table 2.

The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage under the permit The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit 2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period. Part II Page 5 of 10 Permit No. NCS000582 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. Table 3. Benchmark Values for Analytical Monitoring: -Discharge Characterisfics Units Benchmark - Total Suspended Solids (TSS) � 100' Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BODs) mg/ 1 ` v 30 Chemical Oxygen Demand ETg/L 120 Ammonia, Total as Nitrogen �� mg/L 8.4 PH1 standard 6.0 - 8.0 Footnotes: 1. The in -stream water quality standard for pH is 6.0 - 9.0. A smaller stormwater benchmark range is applied because of the dens tiv ty of ammonia to increasing pH. The toxicity of ammonia to aquatic life increases significantly ahoy a pH of 8.0. 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. Part 11 Page 6 of 10 Permit No. NCS000582 - - -- -, - - - - -� --- .— - - Tier One If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Conduct 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. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection. 5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedance, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were impleme to 6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different paramet- eparately trigger a tiered response. ff Tier Two If The first valid sampling results from two consecuti a onitoring periods are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for an ecifiil arameter at a specific discharge outfall; Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions Pb outlineo in }�!'� re One. 2. Immediately institute monthly momt ring nd rdporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly monitoring at every outi4l f�tere a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutivelsmples. onthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sampyye res;ts,are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. If no discharge occurs dur'4thieLLsampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating " No�kloiW' to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Alternatively, in lieu of , eps 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 maydirect 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. 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 qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion; • require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process. Part 11 Page 7 of 10 Permit No. NCS000582 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 outfalls 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 shall be performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4 (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging,stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions). jj In the event an atypical condition is noted at a storm document the suspected cause of the condition and r This documentation will be maintained with the SPP Table 4.

A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit. Part I1 Page 8 of 10 Permit No. NCS000582 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. ualitative 41 Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of potential sources of stormwater pollution, and pi the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effe ' monitoring, or if the discharge causes or c�o!titrl Division may but is not limited to: /' /, • require that the permittee revis or all parameters (analyhCal or", • require the permittee tinstall • require the permittee to t�tpl�n • require the permittee�fO perfo � impacts on receivindwaters r • require the permi4e�implemei SPPP effectiveness, identifying new >permittee's response to pollution.

Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superhind'Amenc6ents 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 tanks and�stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be mainta ned.,46he 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 Part 11 Page 2 of 12 Permit No. NCS000582 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 suffcieri 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. (C<// \� 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program -shall be'developed and implemented. The program shall address all stormwatenc-6htrol,systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfails, all on -site and adjacent surface•waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage area4material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and u iloadinglareas,.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 theSPPP.Anspection 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 I1 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 11 Page 3 of 12 Permit No. NCS000582 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 of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview); (b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management'Strategy). (d) a review and comparison of sample analytical,data to benchmark values (if applicable) over the past year, includinia discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Program's website (See 'Monitoring Forms' here: htt: ortal:ncdenr.org/web11r/npdes-stormwater). 4 // ii-' The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the$ermit. 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 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to he Director that the changes have been made. l SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMP cs onsistent 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. 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.

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 sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part II1, 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.

The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration)•to be considered for renewed coverage under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not-issued,untilrfter expiration of this permit. 2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period. �1( (��/ 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 mti , oring 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.

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 onthe 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 theSP,PP. b. Continue Tier Two response obligations througliout`the permit renewal process. Tier Three If: The valid sampling results required for thetperMit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, forany �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 permitteesrevise, 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 permittee4o 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; • require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process. Part II Page 8 of 12 Permit No. NCS000582 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 outfalls 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 shall be performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4 (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documentedin the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse^Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial a ty mumonitored (See Definitions). In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormw� shall document the suspected cause of the condition an the discovery. This documentation will be.riiairitained Table 4.

The freshwater Total ple— Ammonia Benchmark should be fine so long as the stormwater pH is 5 8. Since the toxicity of ammonia to aquatic life increases with increasing pH, if it is found that the stormwater pH is consistently above 8, we may want to consider adjusting the benchmark for this facility. Assuming that can be done, of course @ o Just for reference, the CIVIC ( or 1/2 FAV) for ammonia (from the EPA 199 ) criteria) is: Im f 8.4 mg/L @ pH 8.0 (current stormwater benchmark) 3.2 mg/L @ pH 8.5 �Q <ra_I�C'4v4, 1.32 mg/L @ pH 9.0 Frs�ww_ everal organic compounds stored here. Concerned abo t both nitrogenous and chemical S v� oxygen demand. �� <5 o Which is appropriate: BCD, COD, both? +'"/ �T Response: b,�d J• `jSGfl d • I'm a fan of using both (at least for wastewater) O !!!! o COD to indicate total concentration of organic matter ■ Quick ■ Contains BOD, though no direct correlation can be made. o BOD to provide insight into how much of that is biologically available ■ This might be good to know for stuff like fish kills • I'm not really sure which is most appropriate for stormwater purposes. I would guess COD as it measures the oxygen demand of both biologically oxidized (biodegradable) and chemically oxidized (non -biodegradable) pollutants. This would provide a better overall view of the oxygen demand that stormwater from the facility is placing on the receiving stream whereas BOD would provide only a partial indication. Thoughts? 3. A number of compounds containing ammonia are stored here. o Measure Total Ammonia as Nitrogen (benchmark 8.4 mg/L NH3-N @ pH = 8) Response: • Agree. See #1 above. 4. The resin (PE1025) used by the facility is not of concern. 5. Not sure about Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. o Stored in racks at warehouse. o Used in small quantities. o Is there known toxicity for this? Response: • Looking into toxicity numbers acquired from ECOTOX. • Tentative CIVIC = 1200 ug/L, based on Daphnia ambigua (native to southeast US). • Tentative CIVIC = 4900 ug/L, based on Fathead Minnow • Still need to obtain & review references for this toxicity data A� ;VA NCDENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Office of Land and Water Stewardship Pat McOory Bryan GossV Donald R. van der Vaart Governor Director Secretary April 13, 2015 Bethany Georgoulias NCDENR 512 North Salisbury Street Raleigh, NC 27604 bethany.georgoulias@ncdenr.gov RE: Ennis -Flint Inc.; DEMLR-SW-NCS000582 NCNHDE-190 Dear Bethany Georgoulias: The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information about natural heritage resources from our database that have been compiled for the project referenced above. A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is included for reference. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for site -specific surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission. The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), or Federally -listed species are documented near the project area. Thank you for your inquiry.

NATURE OF BUSINESS (provide a brief description) The Ennis -Flint High Point facility engages in the manufacturing of a latex resin for use in road markings. The production process of the latex resin involves applying an initiator (ammonium persulfate) and heat to a monomer [methyl-methacrylate (MMA1 and butyl-acrylate (BA)l inside of a large stainless steel reactor tank. Other minor chemicals (both in liquid and powder forms) are also used in the production process in smaller quantities. The chemical reaction produces a latex resin, which is non -hazardous. The main areas of the facility related to production are the production/manufacturing room, storage room for drums of methacrylic acid (MAA)'; and an area which contains the deionized (or "wash") water system and shelving for storage of the non-flammable raw materials, Flammable chemicals are only used or stored in the production/manufacturing area and the MAA storage room. A total of 7 aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) are located to the west of the facilily and are used for bulk storage of materials (MMA/BA)�_ the pre -emulsion process, an overflow AST for runaway reactions, and two ASTs use for temporary storage of finished goods (the latex resin). The ASTs range in capcity from 5,800-12,000 gallons. All ASTs are constructed of stainless steel, with the exception of the two finished goods tanks, which are constructed of polyethylene. The ASTs sit on top of a concrete floor/footing and the entire AST area is bermed by concrete walls, with a containment capacity of approximately 62,000 gallons. Additionally, a shelter is located near the AST bains and is used for the storage of polyethylene intermediate bulk container (IBC) totes containing ammonium hydroxide. XIII.

DATE SIGNED COMMENTS FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY c C EPA Farm 3510-1 (8-90) FORM 2F - Section IV, part B (attachment) Ennis -Flint 201 Old Thomasville Road High Point, North Carolina Future activities (starting Spring 2015) will involve the production of a latex resin, and will include the following materials handling practices: -Bulk storage of the chemicals methyl-mythacrylate (MMA) and butyl-acrylate (BA). MMA and BA are stored in 12,000-gallon capacity ASTs constructed of stainless steel and are the main components of the latex resin. The ASTs are located outside of the facitliy to4he west of the production area within a concrete walled berm/containment area. The bulk chemicals are delivered to the site via tanker trucks and offloaded directly to the ASTs. A concrete containment area for the tankers will be constructed to contain any spills or leaks of MMA or BA during the offloading process. -A shelter is located south of the AST basin and will be used for the storage of polyethylene intermediate bulk container (IBC) totes containing ammonium hydroxide. The totes will be transferred to the production area through the bay door of the production area, on an as -needed basis using a forklift. -The production area (where all manufacturing takes place) contains a 6,900-gallon capacity stainless steel reactor tank in which the raw material components are combined. The room will be surrounded by a 3" high concrete curb/berm. Any spills that occur in the production area will collect to a central floor drain located in the room, which drains over to the AST containment berm. Additionally, the reactor tank is plumbed to a 12,000-gallon capacity overflow AST (located in the AST basin), to contain potential runaway reactions during the production process. -55-gallon drums of methacrylic acid (MAA) will be stored in the hazardous -materials storage room (as many as 16 drums total), located adjacent to the production area. The drums will be stored on pallets and transported to the adjacent production room using a forklift. This room will be bermed on three sides by a 3" high concrete curb. The fourth side of the room faces the production area and will not be bermed, such that any materials spilled within this room will flow into the production area, collect at the floor drain located in the production area, and drain to the AST containment berm. -The final room that will involve materials handling is located to the east of the production area and hazardous - materials storage room. Smaller quantities of non -hazardous raw materials (in both liquid and powder forms) that are used in the production process will be stored in this area in various types of containers including 55-gallon drums, 5-gallon plastic pails, and paper sacks (powered materials). These materials are stored on pallets and will be transported to the production area as -needed using a forklift, This room also houses a tank for deionized (DI) water. The DI, or "wash" water is pumped over to the adjacent production area and used to flush the final product. The wash water will then be captured and reused. Any spills or leaks of liquids that occur within this room will accumulate to a central floor drain. From the floor drain it will flow through underground piping to a 700-gallon capacity below -ground steel vault, located south of the AST basin and containment area. -All raw materials that are stored indoors at the facility will be offloaded at the eastern loading bay, which includes two bay doors and a covered overhang, and transported to their assigned storage area via forklift. -Very few waste materials will be accumulated through facility operations. Any waste materials that is accumulated will be stored in 55-gallon steel drums and disposed of accordingly. Continued from Paqe 2 EPA ID Number (copy from Item 1 of Form 1) VII.

Duke Energy requests that Outfall SW-008, be removed as a stormwater outfall and be placed in the facilities NPDES permit when new permit wastewater permit Is Issued. rt II Pace 8 of Under Table 2 Monitoring Schedule it Is requested that the dates of the monitoring period be adjusted to reflect the effective date of the permit (e.g, Year 1— Period 1 begin April 1. 2016). This will allow for any Improvement needed to establish access areas for analytical monitoring. Part 11 Paae 10 of 14 Under Table 4 some of the benchmark values are very low. For Copper the benchmark value Is listed as 0.01 mgA. The Silver value Is listed at 0.0003 mgA. Plus for Silver the practical quantification level listed In the Fact Sheet is 0.001 mgA, which as noted In the Fact Sheet Is higher than the benchmark level. Could these two values be re- evaluated? The potential e)dsts that these parameters could be measured in stoma water run-off from the influence of background soil containing metals, Instead of an Industrial activity. Part 11 Pawl of 13 The second sentence of the second paragraph states, °Qualitative monitoring shall be performed quarterly as specified In Table 2...' It should state the following, °Qualitative monitoring shall be performed quarterly as specified in Table 5..." Part 11 Pace 12 of 13 Under Table 5. Monitoring Schedule it Is requested that the dates of the monitoring period be adjusted to reflect the effective date of the permit (e.g. Year 1— Period i begin April 1, 2016). This will allow for any improvement needed to establish access areas for visual monitoring.

Chemical Oxygen Demand http://science.jrank.org/pages/1388/Chen ical-Oxygen-Dermnd.htm tl Chemical Oxygen Demand Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a measure of the capacity of water to consume c»_,_v en during the deeosnposition of organic matter and the oxidation of inorganic ehemical5'sticli as ariiinonht and nitrite. COD measurements are commonly made on samples of waste waters or of natural waters contaminated by domestic or industrial wastes. Chemical oxygen demand is measured as a standardized laboratory assay in which a closed water sample is incubated with a strong chemical oxidant under specific conditions of temperature and for a particular period of time. A commonly used oxidant in COD assays is potassium dichromate (KZCraO,) which is used in combination with boiling sulfuric acid (H2SO,). Because this chemical oxidant is not specific to oxygen -consuming chemicals that are organic or inorganic, both of these sources of oxygen demand are measured in a COD assay. Chemical oxygen demand is related to biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), another standard test for assaying the oxygen - demanding strength of waste waters. However, hiochemicalokygen demand only measures the amount of oxygen consumed by (microbial oxidation and is most relevant to waters rich in organic matter. It is important to understand that COD and BOD do not necessarily measure the same types of oxygen consumption. For example, COD does not measure the oxygen -consuming potential associated with certain dissolved organic compounds such as acetate. However, acetate can be metabolized by microorganisms and would therefore be detected in an assay of BOD.'In contrast, the oxygen -consuming potential of cellulose is not measured during a short-term BOD assay, but it is measured during a COD test.
