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 B, 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 50 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• Sections B, C: The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease (O&G) has been replaced by the parameter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• Sections B, C: The term "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable Storm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].

Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
General Stormwater Inspection - NPDES General Permit No. NCG030016
Luxfer Gas Cylinders — Alamance County
Dear Mr. Owens:
On November 9, 2010, Jenny Graznak of this office performed a General Stormwater Permit
Inspection at Luxfer Gas Cylinders located in Alamance County, North Carolina. This facility holds
General Stormwater Permit No. NCG030016 under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) to discharge Stormwater from metal fabrication activities. As Health and Safety
Manager for the facility, you were present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of two
basic parts: a review of facility files and self -monitoring data, and an on -site inspection of the facility
and its outfalls. This particular inspection evaluated five (5) areas as designated on the EPA
inspection form, and observations from each area are addressed below:
1- Permit .
The permit became effective November 1, 2007 and expires October 31, 2012. Mr. Owens did not
have the most recent copy of the permit, so Ms. Graznak provided one for him during the inspection.
2. Records/Reports
As required by the Permit, the facility has a complete Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)
that was last updated on November 12, 2007. The SPPP includes a Solvent Management Plan as
well as a site map showing the location of the stormwater discharge outfali. Employee Training
occurs on an annual basis as part of the Chemical Spill Clean -Up training.
3. Facility Site Review
Luxfer manufactures gas cylinders at this facility. All manufacturing takes place inside the plant;
however the back pad is used for storage of raw materials and waste products. Aluminum ingot (raw
material) is stored outside. A storage shed houses unused equipment. Aluminum chip scrap (waste)
is stored in uncovered trailers on the back pad. During the inspection in 2006, these waste materials
were stored inside, but due to increased manufacturing at this facility in recent years, they have
been moved outside. Upon inspection of the back pad and the storm water discharge outfall, it
appears that the chip scrap is not properly contained and some has made it to the outfall.
Ms. Graznak observed aluminum chips at the outfall. Therefore, it is suggested that
housekeeping at this site should be improved.
4. Effluent/Receiving_Waters
Stormwater discharges from this site drain to an unnamed tributary to Haw River (Class C; NSW) in
the Cape Fear River Basin.

5. Self -Monitoring Program
The stormwater permit requires semi-annual qualitative and analytical monitoring of the site's
stormwater outfall. On -site vehicle maintenance monitoring requirements at the site are waived,
since these activities are not performed at the site. Mr. Owen does a facility inspection twice a year
in compliance with the permit requirements. However, analytical sampling has not been
performed at the frequency required in the permit, twice per year.
The last sampling event took place on September 2, 2008, and Meritech handled the laboratory
analysis of the samples: Results were as follows:
Oil & Grease < 5 mglL
Biochemical Oxygen Demand 104 mglL
Lead, Total < 0.010 mglL
Please note that these are not the exact parameters required by the most recent version of this
permit. The copy of the latest permit was provided to you during the inspection and lists the required
parameters as Total Lead, pH, Oil and Grease, Total Suspended Solids, and Total Toxic Organics.
Refer to the permit text for further instruction on sampling requirements.
The failure to comply with the above monitoring requirements is a violation of the
General Permit. Therefore, this inspection report is being sent as a Notice of Violation. According
to permit text Part III Section A, "the permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any
permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is grounds for enforcement
action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit upon
renewal application." Under state law, a daily civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand
dollars ($25,000) per violation may be assessed against any person who violates or fails to act in
accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit. [Ref: NC General Statutes 143-
215.6A]
You must respond in writing to this office within 15 days of receipt of this letter,
advising us of the actions taken to abate the violations. Failure to do so could result in a
recommendation by this office in favor of the pursuit of formal enforcement actions against you.
Please include in your response a detailed description of why these violations occurred and how
they will be prevented in the future. If you have any questions concerning this report, please contact
Ms. Graznak or me at [phone].

Subject: RE:
Hunter,
The permit states that: "Total Toxic Organics sampling is applicable only for those facilities which perform metal finishing
operations,
manufacture semiconductors, manufacture electronic crystals, or manufacture cathode ray tubes." Would you consider
your operation to be involved in metal finishing? If so, then yes, you are required to do the TTO test. If not, then no. I
hope that helps.
Here is a copy of the permit text:

Your facility is currently covered liar stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG030000. This permit expires
on August 31, 2002. The Division staff is currently in the process of rewriting this permit and is scheduled to have
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

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 l 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://h2o.err.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.litml
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed
