areas surrounding the outfalls. The team did find some items that needed to be addressed to prevent
potential stormwater contamination from unauthorized storage of raw material containers. These were
immediately addressed. However, there were no sources of copper or zinc found in any location that
could affect stormwater runoff. The site does not use zinc as a raw material for any of our aluminum
processes. The site does use copper, but the copper must be stored inside of the facility and absolutely
cannot be exposed to any moisture or rainfall due to the explosion risks with molten aluminum. At this
point, we are uncertain as to the source of the zinc and copper contaminants. We are researching other
possible sources, outside of our manufacturing control. Initial discussions and research indicates there
may be some risk of zinc exposure from the following sources:
This team did not identify any possible causes of the benchmark values that were exceeded (Copper or
Zinc). Therefore, at this time, there are no known source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations
within the benchmark range.
Since the team could not identify any sources of copper or zinc that could impact stormwater runoff,
there are no identified corrective actions that can be taken at this point in time. The site will submit the
results on the semi-annual Discharge Monitoring Report.
Our environmental consultants also placed a call to the Division of Water Quality concerning these types
of results and we received the following answer in an email on 12/13/2013 from our Christine Brenk, A
Sr. Environmental Professional with Kleinfelder, our environmental consultants:
Hi John,
I spoke with Bethany Georgoulias at NCDENR's Water Quality Resources to get background information
on NCDENR's benchmark levels in General Permits. There are a few key points that will assist in
determining how to move forward for the Salisbury sampling results:
1. The zinc limit is expected to be increased from 0.067 to 1.6 mg/I next year (in line with EPA's
Multi -Sector General Permit).
2. The copper limit will also be increased next year, but only slightly from 0.007 to .01 mg/I.
3. NCDENR understands that the benchmark limits are conservative; the intent is to flag potential
concerns so that permitted facilities begin to monitor and assess sources and trends.
4. NCDENR often waives the monthly sampling/analysis requirements after 4 months if the
exceedance isn't significant and/or the site can demonstrate that the source of the pollutant(s)
is not from an on -site industrial process. She mentioned a case where a metal building was
thought to leach metals in storm water.
I recommend documenting your thorough investigation of potential sources of copper and zinc (as
outlined in the Tier I requirements) and collecting your next sample during the first measurable rain
event in 2014. You might also consider taking a sample upstream from the site to assess the presence
of copper and zinc. This could point to evidence that these metals are from an area source (such as
copper from brake pads per the article that you sent) or naturally occurring metals in the soil. Let me
know if you want to talk through the options.

Tier One Stormwater Response and Inspection Findings
During a stormwater sampling event that took place on November 1, 2013, the analytical monitoring
results for Copper and Zinc were above the benchmark values listed in the General Permit No. 030000.
Benchmark Values Exceeded: Copper, Total and Zinc, Total from Outfalls SWO1 and SWO3. Ma
The results were analyzed at Meritech , Incorporated, an environmental laboratory used by Norandal. W
The results found by the lab were as follows:
SWO-1, Copper, total = 0.039 mg/L v l
SWO-3, Copper, total = 0.039 mg/L IN
SWO-1, Zinc, total = 0.365 mg/L
SWO-3, Zinc, total = 0.101 mg/L
Benchmark Values:
Copper, total = 0.007 mg/L
Zinc, total = 0.067 mg/L
After receiving these results on 12/4/2013, members of the Pollution Prevention Team, along with
two environmental consultants conducted a stormwater management inspection of the site to
identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark values that were exceeded.
The following is a documented review of the findings.
Inspection Team:
John Shepherd, Director of EHS Compliance & Process Safety
Dan DeGraaf, Maintenance Engineer
Christine Brenk, Sr. Professional, Kleinfelder
Mesha Covington, Staff Professional, Kleinfelder
Areas Inspected:
All areas of the facility were inspected for any source of stormwater contamination, including all exterior
areas of the building, container storage areas, and areas surrounding the stormwater outfalls.
Inspection Inspection Findings:
The inspection began in the afternoon of December 5, 2013 and lasted approximately 2 hours. The
team did a thorough evaluation of all areas of the facility, including the outside storage areas, and the

PART I — INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to have facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees. The NOI shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater
associated with industrial activity to the surface waters of the state.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make
application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 1SA NCAC 2H
.0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should
be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit
until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an activity
covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may request
that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be provided.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40
CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater
discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion
must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (N01) form to the Division; must receive
approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge
under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum
Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant -loading
limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to a specific impaired water. For
discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the
facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate applicable water
quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If DWQ determines that
discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard violations, the facility shall
apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of this General Permit. Once
that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have coverage under this General
Permit. Note that the permittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development)
and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site Overview, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan, Part 11, Section A.
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity. Such
discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit.
Part 1 Page 1 of 2
Permit No. NCG030000
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until coverage under this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to
discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina, or to a separate storm sewer system,
which has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this General Permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval.
The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of
Water Quality Standards.
Discharges authorized by this permit and site operations must meet applicable wetland standards,
as recorded in 15A NCAC 2B .0230 and .0231, and water quality certification requirements as
outlined in 1SA NCAC 2H .OS00.
This permit does not relieve the permittee's responsibility for compliance with any other applicable
federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, or decree.

PART li — MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The
SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP
is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this
permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater
discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map),
showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the
name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, or if the discharge
is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the
ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the points of stormwater
discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the
site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d)
list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor
process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal
practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be
present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the
stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands;
industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas,
loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all
drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for
each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each
drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious
surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and
any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater
outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The
certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part III,
Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
Part 11 Page 1 of 10
Permit No. NCG030000
Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. An annual review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of
materials and processes to rainfall and run-on flows. Wherever practical, the permittee
shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not
practical, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on
away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials including petroleum products; storage in any
amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
(SARA) water priority chemicals: and storage in any amount of hazardous substancesin
order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminatingstormwater runoff. A table or
summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated
valves or other similar devices which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism.
Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually
observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens, and dry weather flow, prior to
release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found
to be uncontaminated by any material. Records documenting the individual making the
observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the
release shall be kept for a period of five (S) years.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices
(BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall 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.
Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures
(SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be
identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual
acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on site at all
times during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff
through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must
be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure
plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address
the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be
incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
Part 11 Page 2 of 10
Permit No. NCG030000
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance
and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall
address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site
and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage
areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program
shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of
stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems
that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already
addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and
regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping
shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
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 of the outfalls required
in Part 11 B, C, and D of this permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and
cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have
the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility personnel responsible for
implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by
the signature of each employee trained.
Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific person(s) or position(s) responsible for
the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments
provided.
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 of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3)
years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the
presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs
(BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a statement that annual training requirements were met in the year past;
(e) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status.
The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report
(DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website (See
'Monitoring Forms' here: http://12ortal.ncdenr.oriz/web/wq/ws/su/ni2dessw).
Part 11 Page 3 of 10
Permit No. NCG030000
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit
a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The
permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan and all appropriate BMPs to prevent contaminants from entering surface waters via
stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees,
including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with
the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be
kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's
authorized representative immediately upon request.
10. Solvent Management Plan. Facilities that implement a Solvent Management Plan may so
certify, and the requirement for Total Toxic Organics (TTO) monitoring in Part II, Section B.
may be waived. The Solvent Management Plan shall include:
(a) an annually updated and quantified inventory of the total toxic organic compounds
present on site during the previous three years;
(b) a narrative description of the in -plant locations and uses of the toxic organic
compounds, the method of disposal including quantities disposed on- and off -site;
(c) the management procedures and engineering measures for assuring that toxic
organics do not spill or leak into stormwater.
DWQ may at its discretion require submittal, review, and approval of the Solvent Management
Plan as a condition of continuing the TTO sampling waiver. For those facilities electing to
employ the TTO sampling waiver, the permittee shall include the following signed certification
statement on each discharge monitoring report: 'Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons
directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit monitoring requirementfor total
toxic organics (TTO), I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, no leak, spill, or
dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the stormwater or onto areas which are exposed to
rainfall or stormwater runoff has occurred since filing the last discharge monitoring report. I
further certify that this facility is implementing all the provisions of the Solvent Management Plan
included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan."

Permit No. NCG030000
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each stormwater
discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must
be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter
interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee
obtains approval from the local DWQ Regional Office. See Definitions.

3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
4 Total Toxic Organics sampling is applicable only for those facilities which perform metal finishing operations,
manufacture semiconductors, manufacture electronic crystals, or manufacture cathode ray tubes. For purposes of this
permit the definition of Total Toxic Organics is that definition contained in the EPA Effluent Guidelines for the
facility subject to the requirement to sample (for metal finishing use the definition as found in 40 CFR 433.1 I; for
semiconductor manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.12; for electronic crystal manufacture use the
definition as found in 40 CFR 469.22; and for cathode ray tube manufacture use the definition found in
40 CFR 469.31.) .
S For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
or local rain gauge reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of
time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified
below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse
Weather in Definitions). A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample

Footnotes:
1 Maintain semi-annual analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process (unless other
provisions of this permit prompt monthly sampling).
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly
monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall or
inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period, for
example does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. The benchmark
values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the implementation of the
permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require
the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions
of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions. In the event that DWQ releases the permittee
from continued monthly monitoring under Tier Three, DWQ's release letter remains in effect through
the subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or
duration.

3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges
stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site or local
rain gauge reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a
local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly
monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period, as provided in Part II Section B.
Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table S. The benchmark values
in Table S are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to

SECTION D: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the permittee's
implementation of the SPPP and to assess new sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative
monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified
in Table 6 and concurrent with the required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is
required to perform further qualitative sampling per the Qualitative Monitoring Response,
below). Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP.
Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See
Definitions).

monitoring throughout the permit renewal process.
2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall
(SDO) regardless of representative outfall status.
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been
instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall
document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery.
This documentation shall be maintained with the SPPP.
Part 11 Page 9 of 10
Permit No. NCG030000
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that
significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate
the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the
Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation,
and response actions shall be kept in the SPPP.
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating the effectiveness of the perjittee's
implenetaion of the SPPP, and for assessing new sources of stormwater pollution, and for prompting
the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to
correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a
water quality standard violation, DWQ may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease monitoring frequency for some or
all parameters (analytical or qualitative);
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

approve an anticipated bypass after considering its adverse effects.
SECTION D: MONITORING AND RECORDS
Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume
and nature of the permitted discharge. Analytical sampling shall be performed during a measureable
storm event. Samples shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge. All
samples shall be taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of
water, or substance. Monitoring points as specified in this general permit shall not be changed
without notification to and approval of the Permit Issuing Authority [40 CFR 122.410)].
2. Recording Results
For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this general permit, the
permittee shall record the following information [40 CFR 122.41):
a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements;
b. The individual(s) who performed the sampling or measurements;
Part III Page 6 of 10
Permit No.NCG030000
c. The date(s) analyses were performed;
d. The individual(s) who performed the analyses;
e. The analytical techniques or methods used; and
f. The results of such analyses.
3. Flow Measurements
Where required, appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted
scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements
of the volume of monitored discharges.
4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published
pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations
published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as
Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this general permit, all test procedures must
produce minimum detection and reporting levels and all data generated must be reported down to
the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are
determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below general permit
discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and
reporting level) approved method must be used.
S. Representative Outfall
If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that
are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status.
If it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is
granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced
number of outfalls.
6. Records Retention
Qualitative monitoring shall be documented and records maintained at the facility along with the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Copies of analytical monitoring results shall also be
maintained on -site. The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including
o all calibration and maintenance records,
o all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation,
o copies of all reports required by this general permit,
o copies of all data used to complete the Notice of Intent to be covered by this general permit.
These records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least 5 years from the date of the
sample, measurement, report or Notice of Intent application. This period may be extended by
request of the Director at any time [40 CFR 122.411. If this volume of records cannot be maintained
on -site, the documents must be made available to an inspector upon request as immediately as
possible.
7. Inspection and Entry
The permittee shall allow the Director, or an authorized representative (including an authorized
contractor acting as a representative of the Director), or in the case of a facility which discharges

RE: Notice of Violation Dated October 10, 2007
Tracking No. NOV-2007-PC-0688
Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Norandal Salisbury Plant
COC Number NCG030127
Rowan County, NC
Dear Ms: Marcia Allocco:
In response to the Notice of Violation dated October 10, 200.7 referenced above,
Norandal USA has taken the following corrective action measures to assure full
compliance with the Permit requirements:
1) The attachment summary accompanying the NOV indicated that the site
plan had not been updated annually as required, specifically mentioning
the site map as being out of date by over 10 years. The site plan had been
last been reviewed and updated in June, 2007. The site map mentioned
had been revised in 2006 to reflect the sale by Norandal of 7.39 acres of
land on the north side of Jake Alexander Blvd. Prior to that change it was
revised to show Jake Alexander Blvd. extended beyond the property
boundaries. The revision date on the map legend had not been changed
due to an oversight, but the map did reflect the current land use.
To prevent future problems of this sort, the maps will be revised using
satellite image technology as a basis for the maps, and dates for the
review of the plan will be incorporated in the footer for each page. I have
attached an example of this type for your approval. The complete plan will
be revised and available before 1/1/2008 as requested.
2) It was noted that the semi-annual Qualitative Monitoring was performed,
but recorded I,n generalities. After discussion with the inspector, all future
inspections will be recorded using the specific evaluation forms. Please
note that in attempting to safeguard the environment, Norandal went
beyond the minimum requirements for monitoring by performing an
Analytical Monitoring event annually. None of the semi-annual inspections,
or the annual analytical monitoring events indicated the presence of
pollutant exposure such as an oil sheen, foaming or the presence toxic
organics or metals.
3) The report listed a catch basin for outfall 003 with indications of something
other than stormwater was entering the basin from the concrete ramp.
Upon investigation, casting personnel indicated that the likely source was
condensate from the portable air conditioning units used at the work
stations. These units collect the condensate in storage tanks that must be
emptied regularly. Personnel indicated that these tanks were sometimes
emptied on the concrete ramp beside the basin in question. While this
type of discharge is specifically allowed under the terms of the permit
Definitions - Part VI, #3b (Allowable Non-Stormwater Discharges - air -
conditioner condensate without added chemicals), Norandal will include
additional training for all casthouse employees to assure that no prohibited
discharges are allowed to enter the basin.
If I may be of further assistance, or should you have questions or comments,
please call me at (704) 637-4532.

Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG030000. This permit expires
on August 31, 2002. The Division staff is currently in the process of rewriting this permit and is scheduled to have
the permit reissued by late summer of 2002. 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, we are informing you in
advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a General Permit Coverage Renewal
Application Form. The application must be completed and returned by March 4, 2002 in order to assure continued
coverage under the general permit.
Failure to request renewal within this time period 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 recent federal legislation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of industrial
facilities in any of the I I 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 facilty 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 & General
Permits Unit Web Site at http://l12o.enr.smte.nc.us/su/stornlwater.h(ini
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed
Rescission Request Form. Mailing instructions are listed 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 Mike Parker of the Mooresville
Regional Office at 704-663-1699 of Bill Mills of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at (919) 733-5083, exi. 548

- r
Permits NCG030000 and NCG090000
Technical
What is regulated by these two General Permits?
These two General Permits regulate stormwater discharges from two groups of industrial manufacturing ac-
tivities:
✓NCG030000 (NCG03) for metal fabrication and metal finishing businesses
✓NCG090000 (NCG09) for the manufacture of paints, varnishes, and allied products
What does my permit require me to do?
✓Develop and implement a written Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) (Part It, Section A).
✓Provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials (Part II, Section A).
,'Conduct semi-annual self -monitoring of the pollutant content in stormwater discharges, and report the results to
DWQ (Part 11, Sections 8 and Q.
✓Conduct semi-annual visual inspections of stormwater pollutant sources, control measures, conveyances, and out -
falls (Part 11, Sections A and D).
✓Respond to monitoring results that exceed the numerical benchmarks with management actions to reduce the
level of pollutants in the stormwoter discharges. The numerical benchmarks are considered as 'action levels.'
-'The two General Permits seek to reduce industrial pollution in rainfall runoff from manufacturing businesses by
requiring site managers to be aware of, and control, the potential for polluted runoff.
,"Federal and state laws and regulations require the control of industrial pollution in stormwater runoff.
,"Those laws and regulations reflect the public's support for providing for clean natural waters in our state and
nation.
• The required content of the SPPP has been expanded slightly and clarified in minor ways in several paragraphs.
• The permittee may now sample discharges from any measureoble storm event, rather than from a representative
event. This change should make it easier to obtain a sample from a qualifying rain event.
• The permit text now clarifies that failure to sample due to adverse weather, or due to no discharge during the nor-
mal monitoring period, may be excused. However, the permits now require additional monthly monitoring for un-
excused failures to monitor.
• Vehicle Maintenance Areas (VMA) shall be monitored for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) rather than Oil &
Grease (O&G).
• VMA monitoring is now triggered by the total oil usage for motor oil plus hydraulic oil. The trigger remains at a total
of 55 gallons per month, average.
• A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/L applies for discharges to especially protected water classifications.
Significant changes specific to the different General Permits
• For NCG03: Analytical monitoring for copper and zinc have been added to allow more facilities to qualify for cover-
age under this General Permit.
• For NCG09: Monitoring results must be reported in mg/L rather than ug/L; monitoring results may not be reported
as 'non -detect', or 'below detection limit', or other similar notations, but instead must indicate the numerical value
of the reporting or detection limit of the test procedure employed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to monitor all outfalls?
Yes. However, you may request ROS
(Representative Outfall Status). If ROS is
approved, this status allows analytical
monitoring at fewer outfalls. To request
ROS, submit a ROS Request Form SWU-
ROS (from our website) to .the DWQ
Regional Office.
What if I can't collect a storm -
water discharge in 30 minutes?
When distances separate multiple out -
falls and preclude collection within 30
minutes of each discharge event, begin
collection within 30 minutes and then
continue until all outfalls are sampled.
Documentation must be kept in the
SPPP.
Can I take more samples than
is required by my permit?
Yes. The permittee may take multiple
samples at any time while under permit
coverage. The permittee may find the
extra sampling useful to quickly identify
causes of benchmark exceedances. All
sampling for the permit parameters
must be reported to DWQ on the DMR
forms.
What if I can't sample because
of bad weather?
Adverse weather is dangerous or it may
limit access for sampling personnel.
Your documentation of adverse weather
and the reasons for not sampling must
be included in your SPPP. A substitute
sample may be taken during the next
qualifying storm event.
What if I don't address visual
monitoring problems?
If you do not respond to problems seen
in visual monitoring, DWQ may require
that you increase the visual monitoring
frequency, apply for an individual per-
mit, implement in -stream monitoring,
install or modify structural stormwater
controls, or implement other controls.
What if I forget to monitor?
DWQ may require monthly monitoring
for a specified time period.
Why did you replace Oil &
Grease with TPH in VM areas?
The TPH test only targets chemicals de-
rived from crude oil. The Oil & Grease
(0&G) test recovers fats from animal &
vegetable sources and chemicals from
crude oil. Because TPH is more specific,
it is a better parameter for vehicle main-
tenance areas. The TPH method we are
specifying is EPA 1664A (SGT-HEM). It is
important to note that DWQ is not speci-
fying the more expensive Gas Chromato-
graph (GC) TPH method. DWQ found lab
costs for EPA 1664A (SGT-HEM) to be
comparable to O&G test costs. To test
these parameters in stormwater, labs
must perform this test in accordance
with EPA procedures, but do not need to
be certified. Note: A lower benchmark
applies for TPH: 15 mg/I (not 30 mg/I).
Why are there two benchmark
values for Tss?
The 100 mg/L benchmark applies to
most rivers, lakes, and creeks in North
Carolina. However, some other waters
must receive special protection under
North Carolina water quality rules, and
in these two permits discharges to them
are subject to the more protective
benchmark of 50 mg/L. Those waters
classified as Trout Waters, High Quality
Waters, Outstanding Resource Waters,
and Primary Nursery Areas receive this
extra protection in these permits.
Where and when do I send the
monitoring reports?
See your permit text, Part lll, Section E.
Who can help me?
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Offices:
Must I use a North Carolina
certified laboratory?
No. North Carolina water quality rules
do not require that analyses of storm -
water be accomplished by a certified
facility. Please note however, federal
rules at 40CFR136 do require that test-
ing for these two permits be by EPA -
approved lab methods. Analysis by a
North Carolina certified lab is often the
easiest way to insure compliance with
federal rules.
Note that pH is a special case, and
must be measured within 15 minutes
of the sample recovery. You must ei-
ther train on -site staff to conduct pH
testing, or contract with commercial
services to.test pH in accordance with
EPA field testing methods.
Must a P. E. sign and stamp my
SPPP?
No. North Carolina water quality rules do
not require that the SPPP be the work
product ofa North Carolina P.E.
Who inspects me, and for what?
Staff from the DWQ Regional Offices
shown below will inspect your facility.
They will typically ask to see your SPPP
and will check to see if it is complete and
up to date' They will typically ask to see
your recent monitoring results. They will
typically tour the facility with a focus on
the stormwater discharge outfalls and on
your general housekeeping as a way to
assess the potential for polluted storm -
water discharges. Our staff will always
follow up their Compliance Evaluation
Inspection with a summary letter to you,
restating their findings and, if necessary
indicating whether enforcement action
will be considered in response to those
findings.

✓Wastewater discharges must meet the requirements of effluent limitations in Part IV, Section D of this permit. An
exceedence of any of these limitations will result in a violation of the permit conditions.
What has changed since the last renewal?
Stormwater-specific changes.
• The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan has been re-
vised to reflect updated wording and specific concerns
relating to ready -mixed concrete industrial activities.
• The monitoring scheme has been changed to semi-annual
monitoring (modified from annual monitoring in years
one and five).
• Cut-off concentrations have been removed and replaced
with Benchmark action levels. When an analytical Bench-
mark is exceeded, a Tiered Response applies.
• "Measurable Storm Event" has replaced "Representative
Storm Event". See reverse side for more information.
• Failure to monitor stormwater immediately institutes a
minimum 6-month period of monthly monitoring.
• Stormwater discharges shall be monitored from vehicle
maintenance areas for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons
(TPH) rather than Oil & Grease (0&G).
• Qualitative monitoring is tied to the sampling event of the
stormwater analytical sampling and shall be performed
whenever analytical monitoring is performed.
Wastewater -specific changes:
• WW monitoring has been changed to quarterly.
• TSS limits were revised for receiving waters classified
as PNA, Trout, and HOW per 15A NCAC 02B .0224.
• 7Q10-based limits for PNA waters have been added.
• TPH requirements have been added when wastewa-
ter commingles with vehicle maintenance area (VMA)
stormwater.
• Specific new detergent language has been added.
• All permittees must monitor wastewater discharges
to surface waters.
• Failure to monitor wastewater quarterly per permit
terms immediately institutes monthly monitoring for
a minimum of six months.
• Ready -mixed plants with closed loop -recycle systems
or other wastewater treatment facilities that do not
discharge to surface waters must contact DWQ's Aq-
uifer Protection Section Land Application Unit to ob-
tain any necessary permits.
I PAGE TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR N.C. GENERAL STORMWATER PERMIT NCG140000 REVISED 11/16/2011 1
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to monitor all outfalls?
Yes. However, you may request Repre-
sentative Outfall Status (ROS) for storm -
water -only outfalls. If approved, this
status allows analytical monitoring at
fewer outfalls. To request ROS, submit
a ROS Request Form SWU-ROS (from
our website) to your nearest DWQ Re-
gional Office.
Where & when do I send DMRs?
Permittees must send -all monitoring
reports to DWQ Central Files. These
reports shall be submitted on DMR
forms provide by the Director, no later
than 30 days from the date the facility
receives the sampling results.
What if I don't address qualita-
tive monitoring problems?
If ready -mixed concrete facilities do not
respond to problems seen in visual
monitoring, DWQ may require that sites
change the monitoring frequency, apply
for an individual permit, implement in -
stream monitoring, install or modify
structural stormwater controls, or im-
plement other controls.
Can I take more samples than is
required by the permit?
Yes. This permit does not bar the per-
mittee from taking multiple samples at
any point while under permit coverage.
The permittee may find re -sampling
useful to quickly identify attempts to
correct discharge problems.
What if I forget to monitor?
Ready -mixed facilities that do not moni-
tor per permit conditions, shall monitor
monthly for six months, at a minimum.
The Regional Office has flexibility to
extend this time period per their judg-
ment.
What is a "Measurable Storm
Event", and do I have to wait 72
hours between storm events?
A measurable storm event is an event
that results in an actual discharge from
the outfall. The previous measurable
storm event must have been at least 72
hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval
does not apply if the permittee is able to
document that a shorter interval is typi-
cal for local storm events during the
sampling period and obtains written
approval from the DWQ Regional Office.
The permittee can submit data from a
reputable third party such as the State
Climate Office of North Carolina. This
data shall be submitted to the DWQ Re-
gional Office with a written request.
Is it a requirement to design a
closed -loop recycle system
(CLRS) for our site?
Every site is different, but it is not neces-
sary to design and operate a CLRS for
many ready -mixed facilities. If site -
specific conditions prevent discharge to
surface waters, or make a non -discharge
treatment option (such as CLRS) more
feasible, you must contact DWQ's Land
Application Unit to obtain any necessary
permits or to determine if it can qualify
as a "deemed permitted" system under
Non -Discharge Rules.
Do 1 now need an ATC?
No, not any longer. Per North Carolina
Session Law 2011-394, industrial waste-
water permit dischargers with an NPDES
permit no longer need additional ap-
proval "... to enter into a contract for the
construction, installation, or alteration
of any treatment works or disposal sys-
tem or to construct, install, or alter any
treatment works or disposal system
within the State". However, wastewater
discharges must still meet effluent limi-
tations in Part IV, Section D of this per-
mit. An exceedence of any of these limi-
tations is a violation of permit condi-
tions.

Must a PE sign -off on my new or
expanded treatment facility?
It is no longer a requirement of this per-
mit application for a Professional Engi-
neer to sign off on plans and calcula-
tions. However it may be a requirement
of other North Carolina regulations,
such as those of the N.C. Board of Exam-
iners for Engineers and Surveyors.
Why did you replace Oil &
Grease with TPH in VM areas?
TPH is specific for chemicals derived
from crude oil, so it is a better parame-
ter for vehicle maintenance areas. The
TPH method we are specifying for
NCG14 is EPA 1664A (SGT-HEM). It is
important to note that DWQ is not
specifying the more expensive Gas Chro-
matograph (GC) TPH method. DWQ
found lab costs for EPA 1664A (SGT-
HEM) to be comparable to current 0&G
test costs. Note: A lower benchmark
applies for TPH: 15 mg/I (not 30 mg/1).
What about the Coastal Rules?
New or expanding ready -mixed concrete
facilities in the 20 coastal counties with
>10,000 square feet of built upon area
may also need to obtain a State Storm -
water Permit. If you are located in one
of the 20 coastal counties, check with
your nearest DWQ Regional Office.
What if I can't sample because
of bad weather?
Adverse weather is dangerous or cre-
ates inaccessibility for personnel. Docu-
mentation of adverse weather and the
reasons for not sampling must be in-
cluded with your SPPP records. A substi-
tute sample must be taken during the
next qualifying storm event.
Can I use PAMS at my site?
Yes, flocculants may be used. A list of
products can be found on our website.

PART 1 INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to be covered by this General Permit must register with the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (N01) and applicable fees. The NOI shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater
and/or authorized discharge of process wastewater associated with industrial activity.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make
application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A NCAC 2H
.0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should
be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge 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.
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 watershed, draining to an impaired water.
For stormwater discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit
may depend on the facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate
applicable water quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If 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. Once that permit is effective, the permittee 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, in Part 111].
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater and authorized process wastewater 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, is modified, or is revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater and authorized process wastewater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate
storm sewer system which has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this General Permit. All discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of
this permit.
The types of authorized discharges are dependent upon DWQ approval and are detailed in the
permittee's individual Certificate of Coverage (COC). Where applicable, the CDC also details DWQ's
Authorization to Construct (ATC), and Authorization to Operate a wastewater treatment facility.
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.
Part I Page 1 of 2
Permit No. NCG 140000
The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water
Quality Standards.
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.

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 latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge. The general location map (or
alternatively the site map) shall identify whether the 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 parameters) of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process
areas, crushing activities, 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. A narrative description of handling and
storage of fly ash, ash by-products, and recycled materials.
(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 V, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph S. 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 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

Permit No. NCG140000
(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 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. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their
associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment
devices are connected to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by
manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall 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, ou£fall 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. 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 maybe incorporated by
referenceunto the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and
good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. 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, cement crushing areas, loading and unloading
areas, ash storage areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing
structural BMPs. The program shall address and maintain a record of the handling and storage
of fly ash, ash by-products, and recycled materials. 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. All such inspections must be documented with printed
name, date and signature of the individual performing the inspection(s).
5. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at least once a
year 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. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
Part III Page 2 of 3
Permit No. NCG140000
training shall be identified, and the annual training shall be documented by the signature of each
employee that participates.
6. Responsible Parry. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision
to the SPPP. Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided. See signatory requirements in Part V Section B.5 of permit.
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the SPPP 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
annual update shall be documented with the printed name, date and signature of the individual
performing the review, as well as a detailed description of the changes necessary to keep the
SPPP updated.
8. 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 V, 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, according to the schedule in Table 2. These inspections shall have at least 30 days
separating inspection dates, unless inspections are required more frequently by DWQ as part of
the Tiered Response. These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the
stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring required in Part IV of this permit.
10. Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Pre`ention Plan.1
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,
and including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on site for a
period of five (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized
representative immediately upon request.

PART IV MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER DISCHARGES - ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
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 subject to the
provisions of this permit. Stormwater that is commingled with wastewater shall be considered
wastewater, and is not covered under this section of the permit.
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified below in Table 1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measurable storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a
shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and obtains
approval from the local DWQ Regional Office. See definitionsfor more information.

SECTION D: PROCESS WASTEWATER DISCHARGES - ANALYTICAL MONITORING
REQUIREMENTS
This General Permit authorizes the discharge of process wastewater associated with three distinct
activities: 1) vehicle and equipment. cleaning - external surfaces, 2) wetting of raw material
stockpiles, and 3) mixing drum cleanout. The authorization to discharge wastewater is specifically
identified on each permittee's COC. Process wastewater discharges generated by any other
activity are not authorized under this permit, except allowable non-stormwater discharges
permitted by 15A NCAC2H.01060). Authorized process wastewater commingled with stormwater
shall be considered process wastewater.
1. Process Wastewater Associated with Vehicle and Equipment Cleaning
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
permittee is authorized to discharge process wastewater associated with vehicle and equipment
cleaning, subject to the provisions of this permit. For the purposes of this permit, vehicle and
equipment cleaning is limited to the rinsing of the external surfaces of vehicles and equipment.
2. Process Wastewater Associated with Raw Material Stockpiles
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
permittee is authorized to discharge process wastewater associated with wetting of raw material
stockpiles, subject to the provisions of this permit.
3. Process Wastewater Associated with Mixing Drum Cleanout
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
permittee is authorized to discharge process wastewater associated with mixing drum cleanout,
subject to the provisions of this permit.
All Authorized Process Wastewater Discharges
Analytical monitoring of the above authorized process wastewater discharges shall be performed
as specified in Table 7.
If authorized process wastewaters commingle prior to discharge, sampling the combined discharge
will meet the monitoring requirements of this permit. Sampling shall be performed during
discharge; these events may or may not be associated with rainfall.
Authorized wastewater treatment facilities may include some wastewater recycling as a means of
volume management.
Surface water discharges from authorized wastewater treatment facilities are subject to the
provisions, monitoring requirements, and limits of this permit. Authorized wastewater treatment
facilities with no wastewater discharges to surface waters are exempt from the requirements of
Part IV, Section D of this permit. However, these ready -mixed plants with closed loop -recycle systems
or other wastewater treatment facilities that do not discharge to surface waters must contact
DWQ's Aquifer Protection Section Land Application Unit to obtain any necessary permits or approvals.

including but not limited to, storm sewer pipes, drainage ditches, channels, spillways, or
channelized collection areas, from which Stormwater flows directly or indirectly into waters of
the State of North Carolina.
28. Stormwater Runoff
The Flow of water which results from precipitation and which occurs immediately following
rainfall or as a result of snowmelt.
29. Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activity
The discharge from any point source which is used for collecting and conveying stormwater and
which is directly related to manufacturing, processing or raw material storage areas at an
industrial site. Facilities considered to be engaged in "industrial activities" include those
activities defined in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14). The term does not include discharges from facilities
or activities excluded from the NPDES program.
30. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)
A comprehensive site -specific plan which details measures and practices to reduce Stormwater
pollution and is based on an evaluation of the pollution potential of the site.
31. Ten Year Design Storm
The maximum 24 hour precipitation event expected to be equaled or exceeded on the average
once in ten years. Storm information can be found in the State of North Carolina Erosion and
Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual
32. Total Flow
The Flow corresponding to the time period over which the entire storm event occurs. Total Flow
shall be either, (a) measured continuously, (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining
Parts Vl, VII and V111 Page 4 of 5
Permit No.NCG140000
to the outfall, the amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c)
estimated by the measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event.
33. Total Maximum Daily Load TMDL)
TMDLs are written plans for attaining and maintaining water quality standards, in all seasons,
for a specific water body and pollutant. (A list of approved TMDLs for the State of North Carolina
can be found at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/tmdl/)
