David,
The folks over at Raleigh Metals Recyclers forwarded me this summary of their stormwater monitoring laboratory
results. I believe you requested this during our meeting on Wednesday. I assume the DMRs were sent to NCDENR via the
'normal' submittal process. If that is not the case, please let me know and I will inquire with the site manager to
determine where they are.

RALEIGH METAL RECYCLERS — NCG200335
Memo to file by Dave Parnell:
Subject: On site meeting between Raleigh Metal Recyclers representatives and Raleigh Regional
Office staff.
Representatives present:
Danny Smith - DWR RRO Supervisor
Dave Parnell - DEMLR Stormwater RRO
Jon Aldridge - McAdams
Dan Nielson - MidAtlantic
Bill Toole - Robinson Bradshaw
Greg Brown - Raleigh Metal Recyclers
Meeting at the Raleigh Metal Recyclers conference room at 2:OOPM - 12/16/14
The meeting was requested by RRO staff to assess the progress of the facility towards the
resolution of their NOV issued by DWR. The NOV was for DWR Stream Standard Violations. In
conjunction with a prior NOV issued by DEMLR Stormwater as well as, the installation of a barrier
(to be approved by EPA/REC) to hold in place PCB affected soil; a timeline was submitted to DWR
for implantation of those measures.
Mr. Brown described some improvements that had been implemented, but no implementation of
stormwater treatment units has been installed. Mr. Toole asked if the stormwater treatment
units had been approved by DENR, indicating this was a reason for the delays. No comments have
been issued by either DWR or DEMLR on their stormwater plan. It was suggested that a
sedimentation and erosion control plan be submitted to the City of Raleigh, which would include
the proposed stormwater treatment units. This action would enable the process to begin as soon
as possible. Mr. Parnell suggested that Mr. Aldridge be in contact with Mike Randall, of DENR
Stormwater Permitting Program, as well during this process. He could advise on the metal
reduction techniques required for these units. Mr. Brown suggested that RRO staff come to the
site every 30 days to observe the stabilization of areas of the site with vegetative cover. Mr. Smith
suggested that Mr. Brown and his consultants provide a unified response to the delays. Mr.
Brown and his consultants agreed to submit a S&E Plan to the City of Raleigh in the next two to
four weeks.

Subject: RE: Raleigh Metals Recyclers
Nice summary, Ken. I don't have much to add, except that I agree with your assessment. Some of the Cd exceedances
would not be an exceedance when compared to the revised benchmark (it's going up from 0.001 to 0.003 mg/I), but the
trends (or lack thereof, in most cases) are what you observed. In fact, for Cd, 604 and 005 are perhaps getting worse.
Has there been any up- and downstream sampling? Since we're dealing with copper, zinc, and iron, that would be
especially helpful.

Subject: RE: Raleigh Metals Recyclers
My interpretation based on a quick look:
• Yes, for this too -small data set the numbers do seem to generally be dropping on outfalls 001, 002, and
006. That is, you could observe that the last two results are lower than the previous three results. However, 3
data points vs 2 data points is a pretty difficult data set to make any conclusions about, I think. I can't imagine
what action we would take based on this data set: there's not enough data to support any action, imo.
Outfalls 003, 004, and 005 generally do not show improvement over time. Again, similar limitations make this
conclusion really just a guess. 3 data points vs 2 data points is just not enough in either case.
Consider that one gross interpretation could be that we have 3, outfalls possibly better, and 3 seemingly worse
or unimproved. Similar to my earlier assessment, I think 3 outfalls vs. 3 outfalls is really inconclusive as far as
supporting any site -wide conclusions or action, imo.
Further:
• pH is not a problem
• Interpretation of the iron results is hampered by not having a benchmark. But 93, 56, 53, 72, and 44 mg/L are
suspicious to me.
• O&G: only 3 exceedances out of 29 measurements. Focus on other parameters, expect that measures
addressing those will address O&G exceedances.
0 1 suspect that the natures of the exposures are different in the different sub -drainage areas.

• All the subdrainage areas have problems with metals. Note that we have reason to be somewhat receptive to
arguments about copper and zinc being present in the natural soils of NC. But, when the data sets for Cd and Pb
are similarly present, I think we should initially discount any consideration that the Cu and Zn contributions are
presumptively natural background, and re -interpret that the presence of Cd and Pb suggest that industrial
activity may be the source for all the metals, including Cu and Zn. Not a difficult interpretation at a scrap metal
site, I think.
• Outfalls 003 and 005 seem to have less issues with TSS and COD (only one exceedance each.)
• Considering the monitoring results of the four metals with benchmarks: we have 106 exceedances out of 116
measurements since November 2013. Not encouraging.
I've highlighted in yellow the benchmark exceedances in the attached spread sheet so you don't have to.

Hey Guys,
Please take a look at the sampling results from Raleigh Metals. This is the project that we are working with Danny on
and that the City of Raleigh has been concerned with. Give me your thoughts on the numbers we are seeing here over
the last year. They have put some measures in place and it does look like some of the numbers have dropped in the last
two monitoring events.

Re: Notice of Violation NOV 2014-PC-0047 dated March 27, 2014 ("NOV")
2310 Gamer Road
Wake County
Response of Raleigh Recycling NC Scrap Metal LLC ("Raleigh Recycling")
Dear Mr. Smith:
This firm represents Raleigh Recycling with regard to the NOV. This letter and the attachments
are timely submitted in response to the NOV that Raleigh Recycling received on April 3, 2014.
As requested in the NOV, this response includes the following: (i) a comprehensive plan to stop
pollutants from discharging from the site into surface waters; (ii) a plan to stabilize the site such
that infiltration, erosion and pollution will be addressed to prevent ongoing transport of
contaminants to surface waters of the state; and (iii) an implementation schedule.
On April 23, 2014 an entity related to Raleigh Recycling obtained control over the site from the
previous owner and operator, allowing Raleigh Recycling to speed the responses necessary to
stop pollutants from discharging from the site. As detailed below, Raleigh Recycling proposes a
comprehensive approach that will stabilize PCB and metals contaminated soils with a cover
expected to be 95% impervious, treat soils with excessive metals contamination, and install two
stormwater ponds designed to manage site stormwater from 14.5 acres of the site, essentially all
but a minor gravel parking lot. Raleigh Recycling will then evaluate discharges from this
holistic system and make additional improvements as necessary and appropriate to meet
stormwater discharge requirements. Such additional measures might include some combination
of direct treatment of stormwater prior to discharge from the site.

I. Current Efforts
A. April 23, 2014 Purchase of Site
Raleigh Recycling has proceeded aggressively and through a related entity bought the site so as
to speed efforts to address problems it did not create. These problems are the result of historic
activities dating back to the 1940's that were undertaken by previous site owners and operators,
primarily Seymour Brown Investment Co., Inc., formerly named Goldsboro Iron and Metal .
("SBIC") which acquired the property in 1968. Raleigh Recycling, formerly known as GIMCO
Acquisition LLC, first had dealings with the site when it purchased certain operational assets, but
not the land nor responsibility to respond to historic contamination, from SBIC on August 3,
2007. Raleigh Recycling never had any control over SBIC operations and, until April 23, 2014,
neither owned the site nor had the right to implement necessary cleanup to control the legacy
contamination affecting stormwater discharges from the site. Nonetheless, Raleigh Recycling
Scrap Metal NC LLC, an entity related to Raleigh Recycling, purchased the site on April 23,
2014 so that the measures necessary to address the historic contamination could be implemented
aggressively.
B. Identification of and Proposed Response to Historic Contamination
1. Comprehensive Identification of Historic Contamination
Before its purchase of operational assets in 2007, Raleigh Recycling identified to SBIC site
contamination that has affected stormwater discharges from the site. In August 2010 Mid -
Atlantic Associates submitted to North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch — REC Program, a comprehensive remedial
investigation report that identified the vertical and horizontal extent of the historic contamination
("RI"). The RI may be downloaded from the Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch portal at
https://edm.nc.gov/DENR-Portal/ and referencing Site ID NCD045915568.
That historic soil contamination included lead, cadmium and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),
constituents which the Water Quality Operations of DENR identified in the stormwater discharge
from outfall 4 (retaining wall outlet). The PCBs were introduced in connection with a
transformer cracking operation that SBIC operated during the 1960's. Raleigh Recycling has
never allowed PCBs to be transported to the site and since becoming an operator in 2007 has
maintained a strict screening process to prevent PCBs from being introduced to the site.
2. Historic Contamination is Primary Source of Stormwater
Exceedances
PCBs do not appreciably dissolve in water. Instead, they tend to adhere to soil. This means that
PCBs become mobile only to the extent the soils to which they have adhered become mobile.
Similarly, the metals identified in the stormwater discharges are not particularly soluble in water.
The characteristics of these constituents are such that the primary source of stormwater
exceedances is likely to be contaminated site sediments that are caught up in stormwater, not
4751031v4 19853.00020

Danny Smith

Page 3
stockpiled scrap. In fact, turbidity sampling conducted by Water Quality Operations staff in
connection with the NOV identified high levels of sediments at outfall 4 and demonstrated that
as turbidity decreased further downstream from the outfall, so did levels of metals and PCBs in
the stormwater samples analyzed.
3. Proposed Response will Stabilize Site
Raleigh Recycling regularly pressed SBIC to develop and implement a comprehensive response
to the legacy contamination at the site. In April 2012 SBIC submitted its Revised Containment
Remedy Proposal (April 3, 2012) to the Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch, and later in June 2012
SBIC submitted the Remedial Action Plan (June 21, 2012) to Region 4 of the Environmental
Protection Agency. These documents describe a remedial action plan to install a cover over
those areas with soils contaminated by PCBs higher than 1 ppm (approximately 9 acres of an
operating yard comprised of roughly 14.5 acres). The cover would consist of geotextile fabric
overlain by approximately 12 inches of recycled concrete or aggregate base course cover. Small
volumes of soil with high levels of metal contamination that are not amenable to fixing (e.g.,
soils with concentrations of lead over 10,000 mg/kg) would be excavated and disposed off -site in
a permitted landfill. Remaining site soils contaminated with metals at levels that could to leach
into water would be amended with a fixing agent to prevent leaching. These metal -contaminated
soils are generally located within the upper two feet of the soil and coincident with the PCB
contaminated soils that would be subject to the protective barrier. The Revised Containment
Remedy Proposal (April 3, 2012) may be downloaded from the Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch
portal at httys://edm.ne.gov/DENR-Portal/ and referencing Site ID NCD045915568. I
understand you have already received access to the Remedial Action Plan from Mid -Atlantic
Associates. If not, let me know and I will make the necessary arrangements.
The protective cover will stop contamination of stormwater associated with turbidity by
preventing mobilization of contaminated soils into sediment. The metal excavation and fixing
process will also stop those metals contaminated soils from contributing to stormwater
exceedances. The cover is predicted to be 95% impervious, and as such the volume of
stormwater permeating through the cover and coming into contact with site soil will be limited.
C. Obtaining Required State and Federal Approvals for Response to Historic
Contamination
The remedial action described above has been approved in concept by both DENR's Inactive
Hazardous Sites Branch and Region 4 of the Environmental Protection Agency. The required
formal approval by EPA had been delayed for over 18 months, until Raleigh Recycling was able
to assert control over the regulatory negotiations from which SBIC had previously excluded
Raleigh Recycling. EPA has now committed to make approval issuance a priority and plans to
initiate mandatory 30 day public notice on May 12. Once the EPA approval has been obtained,
Raleigh Recycling -will seek the required formal DENR approvals, which also involve mandatory
public notice and comment periods.

Il. Two Stormwater Management Ponds
The remedial action plan submitted by SBIC did not include any stormwater management ponds,
though a small pond was contemplated by Raleigh Recycling in the northeast portion of the site.
After receiving the results that accompanied the NOV, and in connection with obtaining control
over site remedial efforts, Raleigh Recycling engaged McAdams Co. to design permanent
stormwater control devices that would augment the site stabilization to be performed by the
protective cover.
In order to assure a comprehensive solution to controlling contaminant loading in stormwater
discharges from the site, McAdams proposes the installation of two stormwater management
ponds along the western boundary of the property that will control discharges from over 14.56
acres of the 18.64 acre site. A large portion of existing discharges to outfall numbers 2 and 6
will be re-routed to the stormwater ponds, and outfall 4 will be eliminated. These ponds are
designed to control stormwater from a 100% impervious drainage area during 100 year storm
events. The ponds will include plants required for erosion control purposes. These plants will
also be selected for their propensity to assimilate metals. A detailed description of McAdams'
two -pond concept to manage stormwater is attached.
III. Evaluation and System Improvements as Appropriate
Within 90 days after the site has been stabilized with the protective cover, the soil with excessive
metals contamination fixed, and the stormwater ponds installed and functioning, Raleigh
Recycling will evaluate stormwater discharges to determine what, if any, additional controls and
polishing of discharges will be necessary and appropriate to avoid exceedances. These
improvements could include direct treatment of stormwater discharges by installing
polyacrylamide (Floc Logs® by Applied Polymer Systems) upstream of the forebay for each
stormwater pond; or filtration between pond risers and pond outfalls. Until the holistic system is
in place and operating, it is not possible to determine what, if any, additional measures may be
necessary and effective.
IV. Schedule of Specific Milestones
Attached please find a schedule of specific milestones for implementing the system. This
schedule has been prepared based upon the experience and expertise of McAdams and Mid -
Atlantic Associates in such matters. Where possible, activities will be conducted concurrently to
shorten the duration of project implementation.
Raleigh Recycling has moved aggressively to seize control over the implementation of measures
necessary to eliminate stormwater discharge exceedances and to stabilize the site. Since
475103Iv4 19853.00020

obtaining control, there has been identifiable progress. Raleigh Recycling is committed to
managing this site in a responsible manner. We look forward to your review and approval of the
comprehensive, holistic approach that has been designed and submitted.

FINAL STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
®SUMMARY
On March 27, 2014, a Notice of Violation (NOV) was issued by the North Carolina Division of
Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR). The NOV stated that exceedances existed for lead,
cadmium, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), nickel, copper and zinc for stormwater runoff
on the western portion of the Raleigh Metals Site (Outfall #4). This narrative and the attached
conceptual plans provide detail for the proposed stormwater management measures that will be put
in place to control sedimentary runoff and contaminants to meet applicable stormwater discharge
standards.
DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED MEASURES
There are six existing stormwater outfalls onsite. These outfalls are shown on the attached
conceptual plans. The proposed stormwater management plan includes a variety of measures
including the placement of a cover over much of the site to stabilize contaminated sediment,
installation of two large ponds and rerouting of storm drainage to minimize the number of outfalls
present onsite. After construction of the proposed stormwater management plan, approximately 85%
of the site will be directed to one of the two stormwater management facilities. Please refer to the
attached conceptual plans that detail the proposed measures and drainage areas for each of the
outfalls described below. A conceptual plan of the existing conditions is provided as well.
COVER STABILIZING SITE
A cover will be installed over approximately nine acres of the site in those areas with soils
contaminated by PCBs higher than 1 ppm. Metal -contaminated soils are generally located within the
upper two feet of the soil and coincident with the PCB contaminated soils that would be subject to
the protective cover. The cover would consist of geotextile fabric overlain by approximately 12
inches of recycled concrete or aggregate base course cover.
OUTFALL #1
The drainage area for this outfall consists primarily of the northeast parking lot. Please note that no
operational procedures are performed in this area. Inlet protection is proposed at each inlet in this
area. Additionally, silt fence is proposed on the north side of the parking lot (recently installed).
Both measures will aid in controlling sediment laden water from flowing to downstream properties.
OUTFALL #2
A large portion of the existing drainage directed to this outfall will now be directed to the North
Pond at Outfall #3. There will be a small amount of area that will still sheet flow to this outfall --
However, silt fence is proposed to handle any sediment laden water.
OUTFALL #3
To control contaminants at this discharge point, a stormwater management facility (North Pond) is
proposed. This facility will collect approximately 5.5-acres of drainage, and as stated above, will
treat the majority of the existing drainage to Outfall #2. The North Pond is designed such that it
Raleigh Metal Recycling May 2, 2014
M M.CADAMS i

controls and provides a 2-day drawdown of the 1" water quality storm event for the associated
drainage area. The proposed facility is designed such that peak flow rates at the outfall do not exceed
the pre -development condition for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year storm events. The facility includes
several measures to help control sediment and contaminants. These measures include riprap berms, a
skimmer attached to the outlet structure, and plantings that provide uptake of metals. A detailed
cross-section of this facility is provided on the conceptual plans provided.
OUTFALL #4
This outfall will be eliminated and the entirety of the existing drainage directed to this outfall will
now be directed to the stormwater management facility at Outfall #5.
OUTFALL #5
To control contaminants at this discharge point, a stormwater management facility (South Pond) is
proposed. This facility will collect approximately 9-acres of drainage and includes portions of the
existing drainage to Outfalls #2, #4, and #6. The proposed facility is designed such that peak flow
rates at the outfall do not exceed the pre -development condition for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year storm
events. The facility includes several measures to help control sediment and contaminants. These
measures include riprap berms, a skimmer attached to the outlet structure, and plantings that provide
uptake of metals.
OUTFALL #6
A large portion of the existing drainage directed to this outfall will now be directed to the South
Pond at Outfall #5. There will be a small amount of area that still drains to Gamer Road. Inlet
protection will be used in this area.
® MAINTENANCE, MONITORING, & FURTHER CONTROL MEASURES
A component in the performance of the stormwater measures provided is maintenance. It is
recommended that each of the practices provided be inspected monthly or after each significant
rainfall. Sediment shall be removed in each of the basins routinely and disposed of properly.
Detailed operations and maintenance manuals will be provided to the owner at the time of final
approval.
Routine monitoring will be conducted at each outfall in connection with applicable NPDES Permit
requirements. This will help in determining the effectiveness of the measures proposed. Although we
feel that the stormwater management plan proposed is adequate, additional modifications may be
needed to further enhance the proposed measures ability to remove contaminants. Depending upon
the results of 90 day post -implementation monitoring and evaluation, additional improvements may
be necessary and appropriate. These include covering all or a portion of the operating site with an
impervious cover, installing polyacrylamide (Floc Logs® by Applied Polymer Systems) upstream of
each of the forebays for the stormwater ponds, and installing filtration devices immediately
downstream of the ponds.

Sampling. Raleigh metal will need to begin sampling stormwater discharges monthly, from July
2014 through construction efforts and then for 12 month after the completion barrier installtiona
and stomwater pond installation. The following paramaters are to be sample:
• On site rain gauge data (daily monitoring and recording)
Total Suspended solids, Turbidity, potassium, Cadmium, Chromium, Nickel, Lead, Zinc,
Vanadium, Aluminum, Silver, Beryllium, calcium, Cobalt, Molybdenum, Antimony, Tin,
Thallium, Titanium, Mercury, Lithium, Magnesium, Manganese, Sodium, Arsenic,
Selenium, barium,
base/neutral extractable organics
TPH Diesel range
Polychlorinated Biphenyl
• The sampling results will need to be provided to DWRs and DEMLR monthly.
• Outfall sample locationsa", toJdentify locarion(s)
This data will be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed remedy and ongoing
operation and maintenance expectations.
Stormwater Pond.
• Stormwater pond design(s) —Provide engineered sealed plans to DWRs and DEMLR by
Sepfember�.l;�201,4,
• Provide DWRs and DEMLR stormwater monitoring plan by
for the
stormwater pond influent and effluent. Using the abovementioned parameters, both the
influent and effluent samples will need to be collected monthly. These results are to be
provide to DWR and DEMRL monthly.
• Operations and Maintenance (O&M) agreement that also includes the development of a
plan for removal and testing of accumulated sediments from the stormwater basin must
be developed. (parameters?)
• Provide a written account detailing how drainage/stormwater/ and/or accumulated
groundwater behind retaining wall located adjacent to the railroad spur, will be captured
or prevented from discharging. Will this water be routed to the stormwater pond? What
treatment will this pond provide? Provide DWRs and DEMLR this written account by
$;RNbe 1' 2014 If discharges occur after barrier placement monthly monitoring is
required to continue to occur.
C� k� tlls

• Upon installation of the stormwater pond, Raleigh Metal will need to sample stormwater
pond influent and effluent for one (1) year. This sampling must include the above
mentioned parameters.
Schedule (Starting July 1, 2014)
• Monthly stormwater outfall monitoring beginning July 2014 —July 2016.
• Construction Drawings and Railroad Permitting —complete by September 1, 2014 (60
days)
• Contractor selection — complete by October 1, 2014 (90 days)
• Site Demo/movement of onsite material December 1, 2014 (complete 150 days)
• Barrier Placement, permanent Stormwater Basins installation April 12, 104 (270 Days)
Your letter states that new stormwater retention ponds will contain plants that will be "selected for
their propensity to assimilate metals". Please provide more detail about the species of plants to be
used, their compatibility for use in stormwater retention ponds, and their ability to remove the specific
contaminants noted in the on -site stormwater.
The proposed schedule for the implementation of stormwater control measures related to the June 21,
2014 Remedial Action Plan for the PCB contaminated soil may be adequate to address the PCB
contaminated soil contamination under the DWM IHSB program, but this does not relieve you of your
obligations to stop stormwater contaminated by current waste handling activities on site that have
resulted in the contravention of state surface water quality standards. Please provide a clear schedule
with dates detailing your proposed corrective actions to mitigate the on -going surface water quality
standard violations such that these violations do not continue to occur.
The remedial action plan that you submitted to DENR's Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch and to the EPA
does not in any way relieve you of your obligations to control pollutants that are generated and
discharged by your current waste handling practices.

Subject: City of Raleigh Comments on PCB Approval for Raleigh Recycling NC Scrap Metal, LLC - EPA ID NCD045915568
Ms. Crosby -Vega; Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the PCB Approval for the above referenced site. City of
Raleigh staff has reviewed the Approval and would like to offer the following comments:
1. The City of Raleigh supports the PCB Approval for the installation of a barrier to prevent human exposure.
Because it has been confirmed that PCB's are currently leaving the site, contaminating adjacent properties, and
entering surface waters in concentrations that exceed State standards, the City would encourage EPA and the
State to do whatever they can to expedite the implementation of this plan to protect the health and welfare of
the citizens of Raleigh.
2. Since this is an active site with exposed soil and it will be some time before the proposed barrier is in place, we
would encourage EPA and the State to require the implementation of interim measures to insure that PCB's and
other contaminants remain within the site until such time as installation of the barrier is complete.
3. We would recommend that compliance with the remediation plan be incorporated as a requirement of the site's
NPDES Industrial Stormwater Permit so that failure to comply with the plan would constitute a violation of the
NPDES Stormwater permit.
Sincerely;
Mark T. Senior, PE, Acting Stormwater Manager

RE: PCB Approval Public Notice
Raleigh Recycling NC Scrap Metal, LLC (RRNCSM)
EPA ID.NCD045915568
Dear Ms. Crosby -Vega:
River
Guardian
Foundation
I am writing to respond to the notice for public comment for the above referenced location. I further
request immediate approval and implementation of the remediation plan for the above referenced
location.
It is my understanding that the responsible party via environmental consultant has been working for at
least five years on a remediation plan to remove the most contaminated soil and put a membrane and
washed stone cap on the site to prevent further contamination. During this time, contaminants have
been leaving the site and entering a tributary to Walnut Creek that leads to the Neuse River. The City
of Raleigh became aware of this problem in January of 2014 and both their testing and testing by the
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources have revealed that PCB's and other
contaminants leaving the site greatly exceed state water quality standards. We are concerned, as is
the City of Raleigh and neighborhood residents that nothing has been done or is being done to contain
these pollutants while the remediation plan is being developed.
It is unacceptable that lead, cadmium, mercury, PCBs, nickel, copper and zinc in exceedance of water
quality standards have been and continue to be discharged into the Neuse River Basin and we request
that immediate approval of the remedial action plan and implementation of those measures
commence without further delay. We are familiar with work that has been conducted by Mid -Atlantic
Associates in past cases of contamination cleanup and feel confident that the remedial action plan they
have developed will be sufficient to remediate the site and prevent further discharge of contaminants
into the Neuse River Basin.
Protection of North Carolina's watersheds is of prime concern to the River Guardian Foundation. We
look towards the State of North Carolina and your agency to take strong action when violations of
PO Box 97003 Raleigh, NC 27624 [phone]
infoPriverpuardfdn.ora www.riverguardfdn.org

water quality standards occur. Please act quickly to address this serious problem and help us achieve
the measures necessary to protect public health and the environment. We stand ready to assist in
whatever way possible to alleviate this issue as well as any others that affect our watersheds.
Sincerely,
George C. Matthis, Jr., President

PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to be covered by this General Permit must register with the Division of Water Quality by the
filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees. The NOI shall be submitted and a certificate of coverage
issued prior to any discharge of stormwater associated with industrial activity that has a point source discharge 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 21-1.0100, stating the reasons
supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should be made at least 180 days prior to
commencement of discharge and must be secured 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 NOI
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 reapply for the No Exposure
Exclusion once every five (5) years.
Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater discharges is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant loading limit that
affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to an impaired water. For stormwater discharges to
�I 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
111 result of discharges. If the Division 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, and once that permit is effective, will no longer have coverage under this general permit. (Note
the facility must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development) and waters already subject to a
TMDL in the Site Plan, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP), in Part II, Section A.I
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.
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater to the
surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system which has been adequately treated and mnnaged
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this General Permit. All discharges shall be in accordance with the
conditions of this 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 stormwater discharges
Part I Page l of 2

Permit No. NCG200000
allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards, This
General Permit does not allow discharges determined by the Division of Water Quality to be wastewaters.
This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal,
state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.

Permit No. NCG200000
PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The Permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as the Plan. This
Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E,
Paragraph 3 of this General Permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items:
Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant
sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The site plan
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 water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, 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 point(s) of discharge. The general location map
(or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether each receiving water is impaired (on the
state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameter(s) 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 which 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, spill kits, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading
areas, and haul roads), site topography, all drainage features and structures, drainage areas for
each outfall, direction of flow in each drainage area, industrial activities occurring in each
drainage area, buildings, existing BMPs, and impervious surfaces. The site map shall include a
distance legend and must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the three
(3) previous 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 certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found
in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5. The permittee shall re -certify annually
that the Stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative description of
the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the exposure of significant
materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural measures. The stormwater management
plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(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
Part II Page 1 of 9

Permit No. NCG200000
stormwater. 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, the stormwater management plan shall document the
feasibility of diverting stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for:
bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title Ill 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. A table of 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 be secured closed with a locking
mechanism), and 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 years.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMP)
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 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 Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP) shall incorporate an
assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel
(or the team) 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 onsite 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.
Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good
housekeeping program shall be developed. The program shall list all stormwater control systems,
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. 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 in writing and
maintained in the SPPP.
5. 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
Part 11 Page 2 of 9

Permit No. NCG200000
stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be
identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific position(s)
responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision to the Plan.
Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented and position assignments provided.
See signatory requirements in Part III Section B.5 of permit.
Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in design, construction,
operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to
surface waters. All aspects of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and
updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks
of pollutants for the previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update
shall include written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall include a documented re-evaluation of the
effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan 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 Plan 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.
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 required in Part 1I of this permit.
Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. Implementation of the Plan 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 years and made available to the Director or the Director's
authorized representative immediately upon request.

reading must be recorded.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event at each stormwater discharge
outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall. The time
between this storm event and the previous storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches must be at least
72 hours. A single storm event may have a period of no precipitation of up to 10 hours. For example, if
it rains but stops before producing any collectable discharge, a sample may be collected if the next rain
producing a discharge begins within 10 hours.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in Table 2. A
minimum of 60 days must separate each monitoring event unless monthly monitoring has been instituted
under a Tier Two response.

Permit No. NCG200000
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP), assessing new sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's
response actions 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 the monitoring frequency for the remainder
of the permit;
• 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; or
• require that the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for the No Exposure Exclusion.
Qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, in accordance with the schedule in Table 2. A
minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless monthly sampling has been instituted under a Tier
Two response as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Facilities which have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more than 55 gallons of new
motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year shall perform analytical monitoring as specified in

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Raleigh Metals Recycling site is located along Garner Road, approximately 0.70 miles north of
the intersection with Rush Street and Garner Road in Raleigh, North Carolina. The facility provides
services that include the collection, sorting, and exchange of scrap metal. As such, the facility is
covered by General Permit Number NCG200000. As a condition of this permit, a Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) was developed by Golder Associates dated April 2013. In
summary, this plan provides a description of processes onsite and discusses implementation of
measures to be taken to minimize contaminants in runoff from the site. One component of the
SWPPP is a Stormwater Management Plan that addresses practices to be taken onsite to minimize
exposure of contaminated materials with stormwater runoff. These practices include storage
procedures and good housekeeping policies. On September 12, 2013, a Notice of Deficiency (NOD)
was issued by the North Carolina Division of Environmental and Natural Resources (DENR). Upon
review of further testing results, it was noted that additional exceedances of several other
benchmarks existed for Cadmium, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Copper, -Iron. Lead, Oil and
Grease, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and Zinc. Noted in the NOD was that secondary containment
and general housekeeping appeared adequate. The exceedances are most likely. a: result of
uncontrolled sedimentation from the site. This report discusses measures taken since the NOD was
issued and further details stormwater measures that should be put into place to help control
sedimentary runoff.
The drainage patterns onsite as identified in the SWPPP, include six stormwater outfalls. These
outfalls are referenced throughout this report and are the same as those identified in the. SWPPR
Also provided is a brief explanation of the contributing drainage area to each of these outfalls. Please
reference the included maps that indicate each of these outfalls. For each outfall, the nine parameters
mentioned above were tested, each with a benchmark value that they are required to meet. The
facility currently does not exceed any pH or Oil and Grease benchmarks. However, many of the
other parameters are exceeded at each outfall. Both COD and TSS can be treated by incorporating
practices that allow for controlling sedimentation through the use of barriers, mats, settling, and
dispersion. Similar methods can be used to remove heavy metals and PCBs from thc,ruhoff since
most of these contaminants attach themselves to particles and are transported by the particles in
suspension. Thus, the most appropriate BMPs to control pollutants onsite will be those that minimize
release of contaminant laden sediment. -
It should be noted that at this time a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) has been submitted to -the
Environmental Protection Agency for review. This RAP will provide measures that limit exposure of
surface runoff with the contaminated soils. These measures include amending the top layers of the
soil and installation of a protective barrier covering roughly half of the 17-acre site consisting of
geotextile fabric overlain by recycled concrete processed to resemble aggregate stone. The RAP also
calls for construction of a stormwater detention pond on the north side of the property. This plan
dated June 21, 2012 was prepared by Mid -Atlantic Associates, Inc. Implementation of these
measures is awaiting federal approval of this plan.

© EXISTING CONDITIONS
At the time of our site visit on October 18, 2013, several measures had already been taken by the
tenant to control contaminated sediment/oil from leaving the site. These measures included the
expansion of a small basin on the north side of the property, the construction of a small basin on the
west side of the site, and placement of booms. Additional handling and processing policies have
been put into place to avoid spills and contamination of the ground surface. Below is a brief synopsis
of the measures currently installed for each outfall along with testing data. Please reference the
attached map (EC- I).
Testing data for each outfall is provided below. This information is from testing by both
Environmental Conservation Laboratories, Inc. (ENCO) and Highlands Environmental Solutions,
Inc. (HES). The benchmark values shown below are from the SWPP and the North Carolina General
NPDES Permit # NCG 200000.
Otrrr,�t.t, #I
The area draining to this outfall appears to be minimized to the parking lot at the northeast corner of
the property and some roof drainage. Booms have been added to the outflow.

The drainage to this point is comprised of areas draining to the North Basin and some bypass along
the most northern portion of the site. It is estimated that about a third of the site drains to the North
Basin. The North Basin drainage includes runoff from the Fueling Area, Vehicle Processing Area,
Bailer, Non -Ferrous Area, and portions of the Ferrous Yard. This drainage is collected in a piped
system that discharges to a channel and ultimately enters the North Basin. Check dams have been
placed in the channel to help minimize sediment entering the basin. A turn -down elbow has been
recently installed on the upstream side of the outfall to minimize the amount of oil or floating debris
from being conveyed offsite. At the time of our inspection, it was noted that this basin had been
expanded and cleaned out. Several housekeeping improvements relating to storage and containment
of materials were made upstream that should help in minimizing pollutants coming into contact with
stormwater runoff. One such improvement was a relocation of storage from outside to inside for
electric motors and sealed units. Improvements to the bypass areas discharging to Outfall 42 were
made as well. These include the addition;of gravel in high traffic areas to minimize the amount of
sediment runoff, removal of petroleum laden sediment, placement of booms upstream and
downstream of the outflow, and modifications to the gutter system of the maintenance building to

The drainage area to this point is comprised of areas draining to the West Basin and some bypass to
the adjacent railroad. It is unclear as to the limits of the drainage area going to the West Basin, but it
is believed to mostly consist of the Shearing Unit, Metal Torching Area, and the Ferrous Yard. This
basin is lined with stone and discharges to the adjacent railroad. It also includes a turn -down elbow
to minimize the oil or debris from being*conveyed offsite. It appeared that this basin discharged to
the adjacent railroad in the direction of Outfall 95. It is unclear as to the extent of this drainage area
(due to the same undefined drainage system), but as shown on the attached aerial map, there is a
limited amount of Wake County GIS information available for this outfall. The pipe exiting the
property discharges stormwater runoff to the adjacent railroad along the western portion of the site.
Booms have been installed on the pipe coming from the yard into the basin and on the pipe exiting
the property.

© STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN — PHASE I
This initial phase of stormwater management onsite is intended to expand upon measures already
taken to improve sediment capture onsite. These measures are intended to be implemented quickly
and are also considered temporary until the final stormwater management plan for the site is
approved and/or developed. Once these measures are in place, additional testing will be completed to
monitor how the Phase I practices are working. At that time review of the testing data may show that
additional measures are necessary (i.e. Phase 11). Please reference the included Phase I map (SW-1)
for additional information. One of the main goals of Phase I is to determine conclusively the
drainage areas to each of the ontfalls, and locating all subsurface drainage and inlets. Once the
drainage boundaries are known conclusively to each outfall, it will be possible to tailor the
stormwater management to the drainage area of the outfall. ,
OUTFAIA.#1 The extents of this drainage area as shown on the attached map are believed to be fairly accurate.
Where possible, inlet protection should be placed around each inlet in accordance with the North
Carolina Erosion and Sedimentation Control Manual. This will help to minimize the COD and TSS
loading to the benchmark values. To address the heavy metal pollutants, the placement of a
polyacrylamide (Floc Logs® by' Applied Polymer Systems or an approved equivalent) is
recommended at each inlet. A data sheet for the Floc Log product is provided at the end of this
report. It is also recommended that silt fence be installed on the north side of the parking lot to
minimize any sediment laden water from flowing to downstream properties.
OUI'FALL #2
As part of Phase 1. it is recommended that further exploration into the exact drainage area for this
outfall be provided. Based on the testing results it appears that the North Basin is providing adequate
COD and TSS removal. To address the heavy metal pollutants, the placement of a couple Floc
Logs® is recommended in each of the ditches draining to the basin. It is also recommended that silt
fence be installed on the north side of the site to minimize any sediment laden water from flowing to
downstream properties.
OUTFALL 0
As part of Phase 1, it is recommended that further exploration into the exact drainage area for this
outfall be provided. To aide in the removal of COD and TSS, check dams or waddles are
recommended in the existing ditch. To address the heavy metal pollutants, the placement of a couple
Floc Logs© is recommended in the ditch draining to the outfall. It is also recommended that silt
fence be installed on the west side of the site to minimize any sediment laden water from flowing to
downstream properties.
OUTFALL #4
As part of Phase I, it is recommended that further exploration into the exact drainage area for this
outfall be provided. Where possible, inlet protection should be placed around each inlet draining to
this outfall. This will help to minimize the COD and TSS loading to the benchmark values. To
address the heavy metal pollutants, the placement of a Floc Log© is recommended at each inlet. It is

also recommended that silt fence be installed on the west side of the site to minimize any sediment !
laden water from flowing to downstream properties.
OUTFALL #5
As part of Phase 1, it is recommended that further exploration into the exact drainage area for this
outfall be provided. Based on the testing results it appears that the West Basin is providing adequate
COD and TSS removal. To address the heavy metal pollutants, the placement of a Floc Log© is
recommended at each inlet contributing to the drainage to the basin. It is also recommended that silt
fence.be installed on the west side of the site to minimize any sediment laden wa_ter.from flowing to I
downstream properties.
OUTFALI.#6 - -"
As -part of Phase,], it is recommended that further exploration into the exact drainage area for this
66ffall"be.provided. Where possible, inlet protection should be placed around each inlet draining.to
this outfall. This will help to minimize the COD and TSS loading to the benchmark values. To
address the heavy metal pollutants, the placement of Floc Log© is recommended at each inlet. For
OutfalF96. we suggest that this phase of the study determine whether or not to redirect discharge to a
different location, one that is better suited for installation of BMP. -
In addition to the data sheet for the Floc Logs©, details for the silt fence, inlet protection, and check
dams are provided.
A key component in the functionality of all of the stormwater measures mentioned above is
maintenance. It is recommended that each of the practices provided be inspected monthly or after
each significant rainfall. Sediment shall be removed in each of the basins routinely and disposed of
properly.
The facility shall continue monitoring at each outfall as outlined in the NPDL'S General Permit
Number NCG200000. This additional testing shall be provided to the civil engineer to determine
how the data is trending and will be helpful in determining what BMPs and measures taken onsite
are working to control the contaminated runoff.
Raleigh Metal Recycling December 23, 2013
TIMCA DA MS 6

pSTORMWATERMANAGEMENTPLAN- PHASEII
This phase of stormwater management is intended to serve as an ultimate/final remediation plan.
Once additional drainage area and testing data are received as part of the Phase I plan and approval
of the RAP is received, modification or additions to the stormwater management plan will be
evaluated. We anticipate this might include expansion/addition oh larger traditional stormwater
facilities (i.e. dry detention basins or wet ponds). The extent of Phase II cannot be clearly defined
until the drainage boundaries to each of the outfalls are determined and installation of measures
proposed in the RAI' are complete, since the stormwater treatment facilities will be designed
specifically for each drainage area.

Floc Logs are designed for placement within ditches averaging three feet wide by two feet deep. Floc log
placement is based on gallon per minute flow rates. Note: actual GPM or dosage will vary based on site
criteria and soil/water testing.
Directions for Use
(Water and Floc Log Mixing is Very Important!)
APS BOO Series=Floc Logs should be placed within the upper quarter to half of a stabilizedditch system or
as close as possible.to active earth moving activities. Floc Logs have built in ropes witfi attachment loops -
which can be.looped over stakes to ensure they remain where placed. Mixing is key l If the flow rate is
too slow,'adding sand bags, cinder blocks, etc., can create the turbulence, required for -proper mixing.
Floc_ Logs:.arg designed to treat dirty water, not liquid mud, when the water contains heavy, solids
(exceeding 4% ). it will be necessary to create a'sediment or grit pit to let thelieavy'solids settle before
treating the water.
FlocLogs must_not. be placed in areas where heavy erosion woul&result in the Floc Logs.:becoming-:
buried. Where there is heavy sedimentation, maintenance will be required.
APS 700 Series Floc Logs can easily be moved to different locations as site conditions change. Water
quality will be.improved with the addition of a dispersion field or soft armor -covered ditch checks below
the Floc Log(s) to collect flocculated particulate. Construction of mixing weirs may be required in areas
where short ditch lines, . swelling clays, heavy particle concentrations, or- steep slopes may be
encountered.
Cleanup:.:
Latex or rubber gloves are recommended for handling during usage. Use soap and water to wash hands
after handling.',...;
Precautions./ Limitations
• APS 700 Series.Floc Logs `are extremely slippery when wet.
• Clean up spills quickly: -Doi--not use water unless necessary as extremely slippery conditions will
result and if water is necessary, use pressure washer.
• APS Floc Log will remain viable for up to 5 years when stored out of UV rays.
• APS 700 Series Floc Logs have been specifically tailored to specific water and soil types and
samples must be tested. Testing is necessary and is free.
• For product information, treatment system design assistance, or performance issues, contact Applied
Polymer Systems.

Dear Mr Perrotti:
On August 27, 2013, Dave Parnell and Chris Pullinger, from the Raleigh Regional Office of the North
Carolina Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR) conducted a compliance evaluation
inspection (CEI) at your facility, located at 2310 Garner Road in Raleigh, North Carolina. The facility lies
in the watershed of an unnamed tributary (UT) to Walnut Creek, Class C NSW waters, in the Neuse River
Basin.
The following observations were noted during the DEMLR inspection andfile review.
This facility is a scrap metal processing company, which has on -site tanks utilized for used oil and
petroleum derived from junked vehicles. Andy Sanderson and you were on site during the inspection
and provided valuable assistance to DEMLR staff.

Stormwater run-off generated at such facilities is regulated by general NPDES stormwater permit
NCG200000. The DEMLR Stormwater Program has issued certificate of coverage (COC) NCG200335.
The permit was on site and current. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was reviewed by
DEMLR staff. The SPPP was developed during the first half of 2013 and satisfied most of the
requirements of the permit. The plan lacked the following: documented employee training records and a
list of significant spills - for the last three years.
The monitoring reports were reviewed during the inspection. Prior to the last sampling period, only
three of the six Stormwater Discharge Outfalls (SDO) noted in the SPPP were being monitored. During
the last monitoring period, six SDO were monitored, qualitatively and analytically. Results from the last
analytical monitoring indicated exceedences of benchmarks at one or more of the SOO, which were for
Cadmium, COD, Copper, Iron, Lead, Oil and Grease, TSS and Zinc.
The stormwater collection system location and the drainage area flowing to each SDO were reviewed
during the inspection. Unfortunately, we were not able to determine the originating location of the
stormwater, as it flowed to each SDO and then offsite. This will make the reduction of benchmark
exceedences difficult to address, as you advance through the Tier system of your permit.
Containment and storage of oils, fuels and other liquids were adequate, with respect to secondary
containment. General housekeeping, within the shop, appeared to be adequate, as well.
DEMLR Staff and Raleigh Metal Recycling staff discussed the cause and effect of an illicit discharge that
was reported to DEMLR staff on August 23, 2013. The facility reports that measures have been taken to
assure that no further spill such as the one noted, will reoccur.
Requested response: You are directed to respond to this letter in writing to DEMLR at the address
provided below within 30 days of receipt. Please address the following items noted in bold:
Please fully develop the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan by placing a list of
significant spills during the last three years, as well as documenting employee training
annually.
• The latest analytical monitoring indicated benchmark exceedences. Please adhere to the
requirements of the NPDES permit with respect to the Tier program.
• Please provide a final account of the illicit discharge which was reported to DENR on August
23, 2013. (It may be helpful if your consultant provides the report on your behalf).

Dear Permittee:
Division or Water Quality
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG200000. This permit expires on
October 31, 2005. The Division staff is currently in the process of renewing this permit. When a draft version is
available for notice and public comment, it will be posted on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/. 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, enclosed you will find a
Permit Coverage Renewal Application Form. The application must be completed and returned by August 19, 2005 in
order to assure continued coverage under the general permit. Letters confirming our receipt of the completed
application will not be sent.
Failure to request renewal within the time period specified 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 "no exposure exclusion" is now available to all operators of industrial facilities in any of the
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 facility 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 Permitting Unit Web Site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/.
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed
Rescission Request Form. Mailing instructions can be found on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when
the rescission process has been completed.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Aisha Lau of the Central Office

Dear Permittee:
The general stormwater permit for scrap metal recycling industries, NCG200000, was issued on
November 1, 2000. Since there has been a considerable time lag since your permit application was received on
July 11, 1995 this letter is being sent to ensure that the contact information that we have is correct.
Enclosed with this letter you should find a contact information update form with the information that the
Division has on your facility. Please check to see whether or not this information is correct. If any of the
information has changed from what our records show, please make the appropriate corrections in the empty
blanks to the right of the information and mail the corrected form to us by December 8, 2000. Sign and mail the
information form regardless of whether or not any changes need to be made.
Upon receipt of your information form you will be mailed a Certificate of Coverage with a new number of the
format NCG200***. If you were one of the few facilities that received coverage under the NCG030000 general
permit prior to the issuance of this permit your existing NCG030000 permit coverage will be rescinded
concurrent with the issuance of your new Certificate of Coverage.
Thank you for your continued cooperation in complying with the Federal NPDES stormwater permitting
