Representative Outfall Status Request
John Deere Turf Care
Wake County
Mr. Weyrich:
The Raleigh Regional Office staff have reviewed your request dated December 9,2016 for a
determination that stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) 04 be granted representative outfall status
for stormwater outfalls 02,03 & 06. Based on the information, maps provided and the site visit, we
are approving this request. In accordance with 40 CFR §122.21(g)(7), you are authorized to sample
outfall number 04 as a representative outfall. This approval is effective with the next sampling
event. We also want to remind you that the permit still requires Qualitative Monitoring be
performed at all SDOsregardless of representative status.
Please remember that any actions you initiate in response to benchmark exceedances as directed in
the tiered response provisions of your permit must address all drainage areas represented by SDO
04, where appropriate.
Please append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) or permit to
document that representative outfall status has been approved. If changes in drainage areas,
structures, processes, storage practices, or other activities occur that significantly alter the basis of
this approval, representative outfall status may no longer be valid. You should either resume
sampling at all SDOs, or reapply to this office for representative outfall status based on updated
information. If you have any questions or comments concerning this letter, please contact me at
[phone] or at thad.valentineOncdenr.gov.

Representative Outfall Status Request
4) Detailed explanation about why the outfalls above should be granted Representative Status:
(Or, attach a letter or narrative to discuss this information.) For example, describe how activities and/or
materials are similar.
Turf Care would like to formally request representative outfall status to be granted to outfall 4. During our
most recent review with DENR this document was identified as a potential opportunity for our facility. We
believe that 80 to 85 percent of the stormwater for the facility is captured through outfall 4. It has also been
determined that any equipment, trucks, material, and goods in general will be transferred_throuph outfall 4
capture zone which make it an ideal candidate.
5) Certification:
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6 B(i) provides that:
Any person who knowingly makes any false statement, representation, or certification in any application, record,
report, plan, or other document filed or required to be maintained under this Article or a rule implementing this
Article; or who knowingly makes a false statement of a material fact in a rulemaking proceeding or contested case
under this Article; or who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate any recording or monitoring device
or method required to be operated or maintained under this Article or rules of the [Environmental Management]
Commission implementing this Article shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor which may include a fine not to exceed
ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
I hereby request Representative Outfall Status for my NPDES Permit. I understand that ALL outfalls are still
subject to the qualitative monitoring requirements of the permit, unless otherwise allowed by the permit
and regional office approval. I must notify DWQ in writing if any changes to the facility or its operations take
place after ROS is granted that may affect this status. If ROS no longer applies, I understand I must resume
monitoring of all outfalls as specified in my NPDES permit.
I certify that I am familiar with the information contained in this application and that to the best of my
knowledge and belief such information is true, complete, and accurate.

NPDES STORMWATER PERMIT NCG030423
Wake County
On October 24, 2014, Dave Parnell, of the Raleigh Regional Office of the North Carolina
Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), conducted a compliance evaluation
inspection (CEI) at the above referenced facility. The site lies in the watershed of an unnamed
tributary (UT) to Black Creek, Class C NSW waterbody, which lies in the Neuse River Basin.
The following observations were noted during the NCG030423 DEMLR inspection.
This facility is a commercial and golf course mower assembly plant. Thank you for your
assistance and for the assistance of Philip Kegan. It was appreciated. The inspection began in
the conference room, where a thorough review of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP); as well as, the qualitative and analytical monitoring results, was conducted. The SPPP
is being implemented. To further comply with the intent of the permit, documentation of
three years of significant spills must be developed and kept within the SPPP. Analytical and
Qualitative monitoring data were reviewed and found to be in order and compliant with the
NPDES Stormwater Permit.
Following the monitoring data review, secondary containment and the Stormwater Discharge
Outfalls (SDO) were observed. Access to all SDO was well maintained and accessible. Mr.
Kegan was knowledgeable of the location of the four SDO and sampling techniques.

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal
John Deere Turf Care
COC Number NCG030423
Wake County
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG030000
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 NCG030000
• 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/wq/ws/su/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 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].

Dear Mr. Howze:
On March 4, 2010, Vicki Webb of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a stormwater compliance
evaluation inspection of the John Deere facility with the assistance of Jason Haritos, environment,
safety, and health manager. His help was appreciated as it facilitated the inspection process.
The following observations were made:
1. The John Deere Turf Care Incorporated is located at 6501 NC Hwy., Fuquay-Varina, NC. The facility
discharges into the receiving waters designated as Black Creek, a class C, nutrient sensitive waters
(NSW) in the Neuse River basin.
2. The facility had all of the components required by the permit for their Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SP3). The SP3 included: a detailed site map with labeled stormwater outfalls, a list of potential
contaminants, a spill and response plan, a narrative describing BMPs, preventative maintenance and
housekeeping program and a contact list of whom to contact in an emergency. The SP3 is reviewed and
updated annually.
3. Qualitative and quantitative inspection records were available for review and appeared complete. All four
outfalls were observed during the inspection as well as the three catch basins.
4. This facility was observed to have all of the requirements as well as looking at ways to better maintain
stormwater runoff. This facility recycles -reuses stormwater from basin number one to water lawns. I
commend this facility for doing an outstanding job with maintaining your storm water program.
The overall condition of John Deere Turf Care Inc. is compliant with Division standards. If you have
any questions regarding the attached report or any of the findings, please contact Vicki Webb at (919)
791-4256 or email: vicki.webb owricclenngov.

PART I — INTRODUCTION
SECTION A. GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to have facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees. The NO1 shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater
associated with industrial activity to the surface waters of the state.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make
application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A NCAC 2H
.0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should
be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit
until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an activity
covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General. Permit may request
that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be provided.
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. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion
must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (NO]) form to the Division; must receive
approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge
under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum
Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant -loading
limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to a specific impaired water. For
discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the
facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate applicable water
quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If DWQ determines that
discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard violations, the facility shall
apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of this General Permit. Once
that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have coverage under this General
Permit. Note that the permittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development)
and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site Overview, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan, Part I1, Section A.
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity. Such
discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit.
Part 1 Page 1 of 2

Permit No. NCG030000
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until coverage under this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to
discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina, or to a separate storm sewer system,
which has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this General Permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval.
The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of
Water Quality Standards.
Discharges authorized by this permit and site operations must meet applicable wetland standards,
as recorded in 15A NCAC 2 B .0230 and .0231, and water quality certification requirements as
outlined in 15A NCAC 2H .OS00.
This permit does not relieve the permittee's responsibility for compliance with any other applicable
federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, or decree.

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 III, 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 contribute to contamination of stormwater-
discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle 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 outfalls discharge, or if the discharge
is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the
ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the points of stormwater
discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the
site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303 (d)
list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are.
(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 that could be expected to be
present in the stormwater discharge 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. NCG030000
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. An annual 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 Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials including petroleum products; storage in any
amount of Section 313 of Title_III of the Sunerfund 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 tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated
valves or other similar devices which shall he 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.
(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 he 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 the 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 11 Page 2 of 10

Permit No. NCG030000
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.
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 II 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.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific person(s) or position(s) 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.
B. 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 far 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 statement that annual training requirements were met in the year past;
(e) a review and comparison of sample 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 Unit's website (See
'Monitoring Forms' here: htt ortal.ncdenr. r we w ws u n de w).
Part 11 Page 3 of 10

Permit No. NCG030000
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 $, 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 to prevent contaminants from 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.
10. Solvent Management Plan. Facilities that implement a Solvent Management Plan may so
certify, and the requirement for Total Toxic Organics (TTO) monitoring in Part 11, Section B.
may be waived. The Solvent Management Plan shall include: i
(a) an annually updated and quantified inventory of the total toxic organic compounds
present on site during the previous three years;
(b) a narrative description of the in -plant locations and uses of the toxic organic
compounds, the method of disposal including quantities disposed on- and off -site;
(c) the management procedures and engineering measures for assuring that toxic
organics do not spill or leak into stormwater.
DWQ may at its discretion require submittal, review, and approval of the Solvent Management
Plan as a condition of continuing the TTO sampling waiver. For those facilities electing to
employ the TTO sampling waiver, the permittee shall include the following signed certification
statement on each discharge monitoring report: "Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons
directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit monitoring requirement for total
toxic organics (TTO), I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, no leak, spill, or
dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the stormwater or onto areas which are exposed to
rainfall or stormwater runoff has occurred since f ling the lost discharge monitoring report. 1
further certify that this facility is implementing all the provisions of the Solvent Management Plan
included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan."

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 DWQ Regional Office. See Definitions.

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 letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
4 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. For purposes of this
permit the definition of Total Toxic Organics is that definition contained in the EPA Effluent Guidelines for the
facility subject to the requirement to sample (for metal finishing use the definition as found in 40 CFR 433.1 l; for
semiconductor manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.12; for electronic crystal manufacture use the
definition as found in 40 CFR 469.22; and for cathode ray tube manufacture use the definition found in
40 CFR 469.31.)
5 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
or local rain gauge reading must be recorded. 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). A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample
dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted as part of other requirements of this permit.
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 III, Section E).

Footnotes:
1 Maintain semi-annual analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process (unless other
provisions of this permit prompt monthly sampling).
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.
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 or
inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period, for
example does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. The benchmark
values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the implementation of the
permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). 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. In the event that DWQ releases the permittee
from continued monthly monitoring under Tier Three, DWQ's release letter remains in effect through
the subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or
duration.

discharge outfall;
Them: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters. 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. Submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" if no discharge occurs during the sampling
period.
4. Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.
5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response and monitoring results in the SPPP.
Tier Three
During the term of this permit, if the first 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 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 revise, increase, or decrease monitoring frequency for some or all
parameters;
• rescind coverage under the General Permit, and require that the permittee apply for an individual
stormwater discharge permit;
• 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 the No Exposure Exclusion.

SECTION D: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the permittee's
implementation of the SPPP and to assess new 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 6 and concurrent with the required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is
required to perform further qualitative sampling per the Qualitative Monitoring Response,
below). Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP.
Only SDOs discharging stormwater- associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See
Definitions).

1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year during a measureable storm event. See Table 2 for schedule
of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting cycle. The permittee must continue qualitative
monitoring throughout the permit renewal process.
Z Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall
(SDO) regardless of representative outfall status.
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.
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 shall be maintained with the SPPP.
Part II Page 9 of 10

Permit No. NCG030000
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 SPPP.
Qualitative Monitoring Response
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating the effectiveness of the perjittee's
implenetaion of the SPPP, and for assessing new sources of stormwater pollution, and for prompting
the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to
correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a
water quality standard violation, DWQ may but is not limited to,
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease monitoring frequency for some or
all parameters (analytical or qualitative);
• 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.
