Mayes dated December 11, 2009. Mr. Mayes provided this office with the information requested in the Division's information request letter dated December 9, 2009. A review of the information received indicates a failure to comply with the NPDES General Permit requirements. Mr. Mayes provided the Division with a copy of the letter to the City of Wilmington from Mr. Eby. Given the immediate attention to the findings of the Division's recent inspection by both the City of Wilmington and the Cape Fear Public Transportation Authority, this office will seek no further enforcement action at this time. A compliance inspection will be scheduled at a later date as a follow up to confirm that this facility is adequately implementing the Stonnwater Pollution Prevention Plan and that all monitoring required by the permit is being conducted. Until the General Permit is transferred from the City of Wilmington to the Cape Fear Public Transportation Authority, the City is considered the responsible party for this permit. The Division appreciates the immediate attention given to this matter.

Upon arrival I met Mr. Eby and he directed me to the location of the structure. We inspected the structure and I had my crew to begin cleaning the structure and pipe. The crew cleaned out some dirt and debris along with some liquid from the structure. On November 25`" the crew returned and put a pipe plug in the downstream side of the line at the manhole across the street on 12th St. The crew the proceeded to use a steam gene pressure washer to remove the oil residue and clean the line. The crew cleaned 1 structure and approx 100 ft of line. The crew dumped the liquid into the oil water separator here at operations center, And the small amount of sediment in the back of the trommel area.

Box 2258 • Wilmington, NC 28402 • (910) 343-0106 • (9101 343-8317 fox • wavetronsit.com December 10, 2009 Mr. Dave Mayes Stormwater Division Manager City of Wilmington P.O. Box 1810 Wilmington, NC 28402 Dear Mr. Mayes: This letter is in response to the recent inspection by the NC Division of Water Quality at our Castle Street location. After the visit and subsequent conversations with you and your staff we have a better understanding of our responsibility in maintaining compliance with the state stormwater permit and going forward we intend to provide oversight with the adopted SWPPP for our Castle Street facility. As a government entity, the authority is prohibited by NCGS 95-98 from employing those who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement as is the case with the bus operators and maintenance employees that operate our system. Therefore, we contract the operation of the system to a professional management company which hires, employs, and supervises these employees. As we discussed, the original training and overview of the SWPPP was discussed with Corey Johnson who previously served as the General Manager for our contractor with a private company, First Transit and was appointed as the SWPPT leader for the facility. When First Transit's contract expired in 2007, the authority entered into an agreement with Veolia Transportation for operation of Wave Transit. Mr. Johnson, as well as many of the management staff of First Transit, was transferred to other First Transit locations. This left the authority with little access to the training and other information that the contractor was responsible for, including the SWPPP. Fortunately, our management agreement with Veolia has strict guidelines for safety and facility maintenance functions and after reviewing the SWPPP, 1 am confident that the majority of the BMP's identified in the plan have been and are currently being followed as outlined in Section 7.0 of the SWPPP. In accordance with Section 4.0 of the rp SWPPP, we have not had any major or significant spills or leaks of significant materials_ during my tenure as the authority director. We do not have complete records of semi- o�� annual inspections as required by the plan and 1 can not say with certainty that we are in, 0ifi compliance with this requirement. We also do not have on file records of personnel training for employees who were hired following the initial training that was conducted when the plan was developed as required by Section 6.0 of the SWPPP. Some annual refresher training records are also lacking. It is evident that during our transition between management contractors, our compliance with the SWPPP was lacking. For this the authority takes full responsibility. In an effort to prevent future non-compliance with the plan and the permit requirements, we are willing to take responsibility as the permit holder. We would assign the duties of SWPPT Team Leader to our Safety and Training Manager. We plan on filling this new position in January. If you and the state are agreeable to this proposal, 1 would ask for the assistance of you and your staff to ensure that our Safety and Training Manager has a resource to answer questions he or she may have in regard to the SWPPP. As an authority employee, the person in this position will not be subject to changes in management contractors so future compliance with the plan should not be an issue. y I have included copies of the training documentation and the inspection reports completed by First Transit that the authority was able to locate. I apologize for our lack of oversight with the plan and the permit and 1 will devote my full attention as well as that of my staff and our contractors to ensure that we remain fully compliant until we vacate the facility and cede responsibility back to the City of Wilmington in 2012 or 2013. Thank you very much for your assistance with this matter and if you require additional information or have questions about this letter, 1 can be contacted at (910) 202- 2035 or by email at aeby@wavetransit.com.

Key Permit Requirements ❑ Implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) (Part II, Section A). ❑ Provide secondary containment for all bulk storage of liquid materials. (Part II, Section A: 2. (b)) ❑ Perform and document semi- annual qualitative monitoring. (Part II, Section B). ❑ Perform annual analytical monitoring for vehicle maintenance area, if present, and submit the results on the monitoring report forms provided with the permit. (Part II, Section C). Obtaining Representative Outfall Status If a facility has more than one stormwater outfall from the vehicle maintenance area(s) then the permit requires that all such outfalls be monitored. However, the permit also allows for the facility to request "Representative Outfall Status". Representative outfall status allows the facility to perform analytical monitoring at a reduced number of July 25, 2002 outfalls. Application is made by a letter to the Stormwater and General Permits Unit clearly explaining which outfall(s) is/are to be considered representative of other discharges from the site. A copy of the site map used in the SPPP that delineates drainage areas, industrial activities, and any other potential stormwater pollutant exposures shall be included with the letter to support the application. BMP's The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan should include the use of Best Management Practices (BMP's) to control the discharge of pollutants from a facility's stormwater outfalls. BMP's include a variety of things that the industrial facility can do in order to minimize the potential for pollutants to get into the stormwater draining from a facility. The following outlines some potential types of BMP's. Non -Structural BMP's Some examples of non-structural (practices or activities) BMP's are as follows: Eliminate exposure of materials and equipment wherever possible by moving materials and equipment to indoor locations. • A very effective and cost effective BMP is to practice good housekeeping on -site. Keep materials handled and stored at the facility in an orderly fashion. Examine process and exchange hazardous materials for non- hazardous ones wherever possible. Establish routine leak and maintenance checks to minimize the chance of spills before they occur. When spills do occur, clean them up immediately. ®FA NCDENR Establish bulk storage tank protocols that minimize the risk of spills during loading and unloading procedures. Store used pallets and process waste dumpsters inside or under a roof where water cannot Flow on or around them. Structural BMP's Some examples of structural (equipment or devices) BMP's are as follows: Build containment dikes around the loading areas of bulk liquid storage containers. Where practical, change painting operations from liquid systems to powdered systems that don't generate solvent wastes. Build roofs and secondary containment around any materials stored outside so that stormwater doesn't run onto them and carry pollutants away with it.

The Stormwater and General Permits Unit can also be found on the World Wide Web at: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/sti/storm water.html. Another source of information is the DENR Customer Service Center. They may be reached at 1-877-NC ENR 4 U (1-877-623-6748). An additional source of information is the North Carolina Office of Waste Reduction. They have lots of specific information on how to minimize ;k pollutants at various types of ';1 industries. They may be reached a, (919) 571-4100. Commonly asked questions 1) Do all stormwater outfalls need to be analytically monitored? Only those outfalls that drain areas of the facility associated with the industrial activity need to be monitored. Also, see previous discussion on representative outfall status. 2) What happens if when I pull samples for my annual analytical monitoring I'm unable to get a sample for one of the parameters? If this happens it is fine to go ahead and just sample for the missing parameter during the next representative storm event, just be sure to note the total rainfall, event duration, and total flow apart from the initial monitoring data. 3) Does a certified lab need to be used to analyze stormwater samples? Yes, a North Carolina certified lab must be used to perform analytical monitoring. The only exception to this rule is when measuring the value of pH. pH values should be measured in the field because they may change considerably between when the sample is polled and it is analyzed at the laboratory: 4) How do you average the first year's analytical monitoring results? The measured concentration of a particular pollutant collected during the first year's analytical monitoring is the average value for that parameter since dividing it by one gives the same value for cut-off purposes. 5) What If I Sell My Business Or The Name of My Business Changes ? The Division views changes of name or ownership as a minor modification and requires the Director's approval. Name and ownership changes require you to complete a Name/Ownership Change Form SWU-239.
