Permit No. NCG080000
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 S.
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:
Part II Page 1 of 13

Permit No. NCG080000
(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 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 Superfund 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.
1. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated
secondary containment areas shall be maintained.
2. 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 be secured closed with a locking mechanism).
3. 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.
4. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any
material.
5. 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. The Division may allow
exceptions to secondary containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the
exemption provided by amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate
spill containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge
to surface waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used
primarily as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers.
(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.
(d) Locomotive Sanding Areas (applicable to Rail Transportation only). The plan must describe
measures that prevent or minimize contamination of the stormwater runoff from areas
used for locomotive sanding. The facility shall consider covering sanding areas, minimizing
stormwater runoff /runon, appropriate sediment removal practices to minimize the offsite
transport of sanding material by stormwater, or other equivalent measures.

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.
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, Sections B and C 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 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 ofsignificantspills orleaks 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 storm water outfalls have been evaluated for the
presence ofnon-storm water discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs
(BMPSummaryelement 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 Unit's website:
httl2s:/ f deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/npdes-
stormwater-gps.
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 5) to the Director that the changes have been made.

(e) Vehicle and Equipment Cleaning Areas. The plan must describe measures that prevent or
minimize contamination of the stormwater runoff from all areas used for vehicle and
equipment cleaning. The facility shall consider:
1. performing all cleaning operations indoors,
2. covering the cleaning operation,
3. ensuring that all wash waters drain to the sanitary sewer system (i.e., not the
stormwater drainage system, unless permitted by another NPDES general or
individual permit),
4. collecting the stormwater runoff from the cleaning area, and
5. providing treatment or recycling, or other equivalent measures.
If sanitary sewer is not available to the facility and cleaning operations take place outdoors,
the cleaning operations shall take place on grassed or graveled areas to prevent point
source discharges of the wash water into the storm drains or surface waters. Where
cleaning operations cannot be performed as described above and when operations are
performed in the vicinity of a storm drainage collection system, the drain shall be covered
with a portable drain cover during cleaning activities. Any excess ponded water shall be
removed and properly handled by pump to a sanitary sewer system prior to removing the
drain cover. Detergents used outdoors shall be biodegradable and the pH adjusted to be in
the range of 6 to 9 standard units.
The point source discharge of vehicle and equipment wash waters, including tank cleaning
operations, are not authorized by this permit and must be covered under a separate NPDES
general or individual permit or discharged to a sanitary sewer in accordance with
applicable industrial wastewater pretreatment requirements.
(f) Remote Fueling Operations. If remote fueling (or other vehicle maintenance activities) are
conducted at off site locations but coordinated from the permitted facility, the plan shall
include a component that describes the stormwater management practices and BMPs used
to prevent and/or minimize the contamination of stormwater from such activities.
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.
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

Permit No. NCG080000
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 (S) years and made available to the Director or the Director's
authorized representative immediately upon request.
