Permit: NCG120012 Owner - Facility: Gaston County
Inspection Date: 03/26/2014 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The facility has begun the tier two monthly sampling for exceeding the benchmarks for TSS and Fecal Coliform. Several
recommendations have been given to the landfill staff from their consultant (Buxton Environmental) to reduce the TSS
and Fecal Coliform results. The landfill staff has begun implementing those recommendations. During the site visit it was
noted that the sediment basins are of an older design, and updating to the new design may assist with reducing the TSS
leaving the site. At a minimum, coir mesh baffles should be installed in the sediment basins.

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal
Gaston Co Landfill
COC Number NCG120012
Gaston County
Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG120000
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued General Permit. This permit is
reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October
15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage (COC)
• A copy of General Permit NCG120000
• A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Two copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form
• Two copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater, and it specifies your obligations for discharge
controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself
with all the changes in the reissued permit. Your facility has six (6) months from the time of receipt of the
permit to update your current SPPP to reflect all new permit requirements.
The first sample period of your permit begins January 1, 2013. Your facility must sample a "measureable
storm event" beginning during the periods beginning January 1 and July 1 of every year (or, if applicable,
report "No Flow," as outlined in Part III, Section E). Also, please note that Tier 3 Actions in Part II of your
permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four occasions beginning on the effective date of this
permit and do not count prior exceedances.
The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last COC was issued are noted either in the
Draft Permit Fact Sheet that accompanied the public notice (http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wg/wslsu/current-
notices), or in the Response to Comments / Summary of Changes and Technical Bulletin documents that are
posted on the stormwater Permitting Unit's website with the new General Permit. Please visit
http.//portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw (click on `General Permits' tab) to review that information
for your specific General Permit carefully.

Some of the changes include:
Part II:
• Section A: The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) section, if applicable, has been updated
to the most current language of our permits. Additional conditions for specific industry sectors have
been added to the SPPP requirements in some cases.
• Sections 8, C: Failure to perform analytical stormwater monitoring may result in the Division requiring
that the permittee begin a monthly sampling scheme.
• Sections B, C: A lower TSS benchmark of SO mg/I for HQW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters applies to these
more sensitive waters.
• Sections B, C. The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease (O&G) has been replaced by the parameter
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) for vehicle maintenance areas, and in some cases, other
analytical monitoring requirements.
• Sections B, C, D: Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be recorded in the SPPP, or in
separate on -site records if your General Permit does not require an SPPP. Adverse weather is defined
in the "Definitions" section of the permit.
• Sections 8, C. The term "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable Storm
Event." A measurable storm event is defined in the permit.
• Section D: If the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, DWQ may require the permittee to perform corrective action.
Please review Parts III and IV to understand the Standard Conditions of your new NPDES General Permit,
including Compliance and Liability, Reporting, Monitoring and Records requirements; Operation and
Maintenance obligations; and Definitions. Please note that all samples analyzed in accordance with the terms
of this permit must be submitted to the Division on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms available on
the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website above. DMR forms must be delivered to the Division no later than
30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. Also note that existing
permittees do not need to submit a renewal request prior to expiration unless directed by the Division.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. This permit
does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, nor does it
relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law,
rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. If you have any questions regarding this permit
package, please contact the Division's Stormwater Permitting Unit at [phone].

Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report for the inspection conducted at
the subject facility on December 29, 2010 by Ms. Donna Hood of this Office.
The facility has made a good start to implementing the applicable stormwater permit. Currently the facility
is in a Tier Two response due to benchmark exceedances in the analytical monitoring. Some progress has been
made toward improvements in stormwater quality through site remediation. During the inspection one problem
was noted with analytical monitoring. Ph was not being analyzed within the fifteen minute hold time. This
deficiency was discussed and resolved with Buxton Environmental during the inspection.
This report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions concerning the report,
please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Hood or me at [phone].

Permit: NCG120012 Owner - Facility: Gaston County
Inspection Date: 12129/2010 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The facility is not required to develop a 5tormwater Pollution Prevention Plan but instead have an approved Sediment and
Erosion Control Plan. The Gaston County Landfill S&EC Plan was originally approved in 1997. The facility also has an
active permit with the Division of Waste Management to operate a MSW/C&D landfill.
The facility has performed qualitative visual outfall monitoring as required by the stormwater permit.
The facility has performed analytical monitoring per permit requirements, with the exception of pH monitoring. All pH
values, except for the first two were performed outside the required maximum 15 minute hold time. Please be advised
that all analytical monitoring is required to be performed as per Standard Methods.
A Tier One monitoring response was required beginning in October 2009. Buxton Environmental performed the Tier
One response which included that all fecal exceedances were due to vultures and seagulls. Total Suspended Solid (TSS)
exceedances were due to numerous unvegetated slopes. The cause of COD exceedances remained unknown. Tier One
responses included but were not limited to slope stabilization with mulch and/or vegetation. Tier One responses to fecal
exceedances included the consideration of a feasibility study to reduce the number of buzzards and seagulls on the site.
A Tier Two response was required beginning October 2010. Buxton Environmental performed the Tier Two response,
which included excavating silt from detention ponds, installing silt fencing and rock baffles in areas with large quantities of
stormwater runoff. The facility is still in Tier Two with required monthly monitoring due to the limited success of corrective
actions taken thus far_

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal

COG Number NGG120012
Gaston County
Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG120000 the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued stormwater General Permit. This permit is reissued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between the state of North
Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated December 6, 1983.
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage
• A copy of General Stormwater Permit NCG120000
• A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Five copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form
• Five copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater only, and it specifies your obligations with respect to stormwater
discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself with all
the changes in the reissued permit.
The more significant changes to the General Permit include the following:
• Part I Section A - A new provision that facilities draining to 303(d) listed waters, or in watersheds with an approved TMDL,
may not be eligible for renewed coverage under the General Permit.
• Part II Section B Table 1 - An increased sampling frequency.from once per year to twice per year.
• Part II Section B Table 3 - Benchmark concentrations now replace cutoff concentrations; the elimination of the option to
avoid sampling based on cutoff concentrations.
• Part II Section B- New provisions requiring the permittee to execute Tier One and Tier Two response actions, based on
the first benchmark exceedence (Tier One) and the second consecutive benchmark exceedence (Tier Two). Tier Two
requires that the permittee institute monthly monitoring instead of twice -per -year monitoring, until three consecutive
monitoring events show no benchmark exceedences.
• Part Il Section 6 - A new provision that four exceedences of any particular benchmark will trigger increased DWO
involvement in the permittee's stormwater management and control actions. DWQ may direct the permittee to apply for
an individual permit, or may direct the implementation or installation of specific stormwater control measures.
DWQ received a number of comments on a series of general permits similar to this one. A full response to comments can be
found at http://ncwaterquality.org/suAndustrialgpinfo.htm. Some comments resulted in permit modifications, others are
addressed in the response document or Fact Sheet- A specific request for clarification is addressed below -
Must analytical results be by a certified lab? What about pH measurements? All analytical results obtained to satisfy
NPDES permit requirements must be certified, as directed in North Carolina regulations at 15A NCAC 2H .0800, and as
administered by DWO's Laboratory Section Certification Branch. This includes field pH measurements.
General Permit Text Error Note: Part lA Section D 6. Records Retention contains an erroneous reference to the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). An SPPP is not a required element of General Permit NCG120000.
Maintaining visual monitoring records and all other requirements of Part /it Section D 6. remain enforceable,' parts of
the General Permit. N"SiLtCamlina

Compliance Schedule Correction
Gaston
It recently came to the Division's attention that the compliance schedule in the NCGI20000 permit is
incorrect. The compliance refers to requiring a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan which is not a
requirement of this permit. The corrected compliance language that should go under Part III, Section A: 1. is
shown below. We have also attached a new page reflecting this change for your permit file (Part ffi page 1 of
11). This new page should replace the current page in your permit.
SECTION A: COMPLIANCE AND LIABILITY
1. Compliance Schedule
The permittee shall comply with the permit in accordance with the following schedule:
Existing Facilities: Upon the effective date of the Certificate of Coverage the permittee shall comply
with all of the conditions detailed in Part II, Section A: Final Limitations and Controls for Stormwater
Discharges.
New Facilities: Upon the beginning of discharges from the operation of the industrial activity the
permittee shall comply with all conditions detailed in Part H, Section A: Final Limitations and Controls
for Stormwater Discharges_

the permit reissued by late summer of 2002. Once the permit is reissued, your facility would be eligible for
continued coverage under the reissued permit.
In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in
advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a General Permit Coverage Renewal
Application Form. The application must be completed and returned by March 4, 2002 in order to assure continued
coverage under the general permit.
Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility
without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and
could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10.000 per day.
Please note that recent federal legislation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of industrial
facilities in any of the 1 I categories of "storm water discharges associated with industrial activity," (except
construction activities). If you feel your facility can certify a condition of "no exposure", i.e. the facilty industrial
materials and operations are not exposed to stormwater, you can apply for the no exposure exclusion. For additional
information contact the Central Office Stormwater Staff member listed below or check the Stormwater & General
Permits Unit Web Site at http:Hh2o.enr.state.ne.us/su/stormwater.htrnl
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed
Rescission Request Form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the
rescission process has been completed.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Mike Parker of the Mooresville
Regional Office at 704-66i3-1699 or Aisha Lau of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at [phone]. ext. 578
