Warraich Winston-SalemRegi®na1 office Auto Salvage 7224'01d Lexington Road Winston-Salem, NC 27107 SUBJ: Compliance Storm Water Evaluation Inspection Dear Mr. Warraich: On January 14, 2003 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Winston-Salem District Office performed a Compliance Storm Water Evaluation Inspection (CSWEI) of Stamper and Haynes Salvage (Facility). EPA's participation in this inspection was to evaluate the Facility's compliance with the treatment and disposal of storm water in accordance with the requirements of Section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), 33 U.S.C. § 1342(p), the regulations promulgated thereunder at 40 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) Part 122,26, and the NCDENR General Permit to Discharge Stormwater Under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), General Permit No. NCG100000 (the Permit) issued in September 2002. The results of EPA's inspection are summarized in the enclosed report. During the inspection it was discovered that your facility had not submitted a Notice of Intent (N01) for coverage under the Permit. A copy of the NOI and the Permit were provided to your representative during the inspection. EPA requested that you submit the NOI to the NCDENR not later than February 17, 2003, with a copy to EPA. If you have not submitted the NOI, please do so as soon as possible and send a copy to EPA at the address on the letterhead to avoid enforcement action. Enforcement action could result in the issuance of an Administrative Order and/or the imposition of civil penalties of up to $27,500 per day. If you determine that the storm water leaving your property does not enter a receiving stream of a Municipal Separate Storm Water Sewer System, then you should notify the NCDENR and EPA. Also enclosed is a document entitled "U.S. EPA Small Business Resources -Information Sheet" for your use and to assist you in understanding the compliance assistance resources and tools available to you. However, any decision to seek compliance assistance at this time does not relieve you of your obligation to EPA, does not create any new rights or defenses, and will not affect EPA's decision to pursue enforcement action. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires its registrants to periodically disclose environmental legal h Intemet Address (t1RL) . http://www.epa.gov Recycled/Racyclable • Primed with Vegetable Oil Based Inks on Recycled Paper (Minimum 30% Postconsumer) 1) proceedings in statements filed with the Commission.

Part 126 and the State of North Carolina's General Permit No. NCG100000 to Discharge Stormwater Under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (the Permit) covering storm water discharges from'establishments primarily engaged in activities classified as Used Motor Vehicle Parts (Standard Industrial Classification Code [SIC] 5015) and Automobile Wrecking for Scrap (a portion of SIC Code 5093). Section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) states that storm water discharges associated with industrial activities to waters of the United States or into a Municipal Separate Storm Water Sewer System (MS4) must be authorized by a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit; in this case the North Carolina Permit. The following individuals participated in the inspection: Name Organization Telephone Number Susan Pope U.S. EPA, Region 4, Water (404) 562-9770 Randy Vaughn Programs Enforcement Branch Wes Hare NCDENR, Division of Water (336) 771-4600 Quality, Winston-Salem Regional Office Junaid Ahmed Triad Auto Salvage General Permit No. NCG100000 to Discharge Stormwater Under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System for establishments primarily engaged in activities classified as Used Motor Vehicle Parts (Standard Industrial Classification [SIC] 5015) and Automobile Wrecking for Scrap (a portion of SIC 5093). Permit Requirements: A permit is required for all storm water discharges to'waters of the United States whether to a receiving stream or into a MS4. General Permit No. NCG100000 authorizes the discharge of storm water only. An . individual NPDES permit is required if waters are co -mingled with process wastewater. Triad Auto Salvage is covered under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 7538, general automotive repair and SIC Code 5015, dismantling or wrecking used motor vehicles for parts recycling or resale and for scrap. A review of this site indicates that storm water is discharged from the property and into a drainage area at the rear of the property which drains into an unnamed creek. It was determined that this facility should seek coverage under General NPDES Permit No:' NCG10000.'- A package was left at the site which'included a copy of the NOI and the Permit. Facility Site Review/Operations and Maintenance Common Pollutant Vehicle Dismantling; Used Parts Storage; Vehicle and Equipment Sources Maintenance; Outdoor Vehicle Equipment Storage; Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance; Vehicle, Equipment and Parts Washing Areas; Liquid Storage in Above Ground Storage Tanks; Illicit Connection to Storm Sewer - This facility consists of a dirt and gravel yard covering approximately 10 acres; there are approximately 700-800 vehicles currently at this site. The owner purchased this business about one year ago and plans many improvements at the site. Incoming vehicles are placed in the yard without having fluids removed; fluid removal is performed, if necessary,. when parts are removed. Cars are stored containing all parts; many of the vehicles were stored with hoods up. Parts are pulled by an employee upon customer request. Gas tanks are not removed from stored vehicles. Freon is not captured and recycled. Fluids are stored in separate used oil/anti-freeze tanks. However, the tanks were not labeled and were not under cover. In addition, the tanks were not stored on a concrete or elevated pad. Batteries are stored on the ground and not under cover or on a raised platform. There are several barrels throughout the site that had no labels. These barrels should be labeled and disposed or properly. Empty barrels or drums should be stored on their side or disposed of properly. Metal for a planned warehouse is stored in the open. Also, around the site there are several areas with assorted metal and car parts that are not stored under cover. Storm water discharges to the rear of the property and into a drainage area. The drainage area discharges into an unnamed tributary. Conclusions and Recommendations Due to the nature of the storm water discharge, a NOI should be submitted to the NCDENR not later than February 26, 2003, with a copy to EPA. The facility must develop a Pollution Prevention Plan within the first year of the permit and perform monitoring. If the facility determines that permit coverage is not necessary because the drainage area does not discharge into a stream, then notification should be made to both NCDENR and EPA. It is recommended - that best management practices be implemented immediately; these include the labeling of all drums and barrels, spent oil and antifreeze drums should be kept undercover and on a concrete or 3 elevated pad, and batteries should be stored off the ground and under cover. Once the crusher is put into service, the facility should ensure that all fluids are drained from the vehicles prior to crushing and disposed of in a proper manner.
