WCP is in Tier II for TSS on Outfall 003. Wieland Copper Products, LLC 3990 US 311 Hwy N Pine Hall, NC 27042 Phone: (336) 445-4500 Fax: (336) 427-2918 info@wieland.com www.wielandcopper.com WCP has implemented the Tier II Response Plan outlined in the Stormwater Permit. NC Department of Environmental Received Q�ality OCT 2 8 2020 Winston-Salem Regional Office The possible causes could be that a heavy down pour washed sediment, dust, and dirt from the tires of heavy trucks, into that outfall. We keep that area clean and swept as much as possible. The outfall contains a significant amount of sediment. WCP will look into hiring a contractor to properly clean drainage area. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at (336) 816-2591. Sincerely, Tony R.

The rational formula has been developed to calculate the rate of run-off from a rain event of a given intensity over a given area. The formula is written: Q=CIA where: Q is the rate of run-off flow in cubic feet per second (CFS) I is the rain intensity in inches per hour A is the land area contributing run-off to the discharge point and: C is a run-off coefficient which ranges from 0 for a completely pervious surface to 1.0 for a completely impervious surface. The rational formula results from the fact that, for a completely impervious surface, a rainfall of one inch over a period of one hour on an area of one acre will result in a run-off discharge of one CFS. The run-off coefficient C can be thought of as a correction factor based on the percentage of the total rainfall which will run off from a given area due to how pervious or impervious the surface of that area is. Since the discharge permit for this facility requires an estimate of the total discharge from the storm event during which samples are collected, we will use a modified form of the rational formula to calculate the total discharge as follows: Qt = CRA (0.027) where: Qt is the total discharge in Million Gallons C is the run-off coefficient as defined above R is the total amount of rainfall in inches A is the surface area contributing flow to the sample location in acres and: The constant 0.027 in the modified equation corrects the units to Million Gallons (MG) based on the fact that 1 acre -inch = 0.027 MG For drainage areas which are comprised of a combination of pervious and impervious areas, the formula can be written as follows: Qt = [CiAI + C2A21 (R) (0.027) where: C1 = C factor for pervious areas Al = pervious area contributing to the outfall in acres C2 = C factor for impervious areas A2 = impervious area contributing to the outfall in acres Discharge Calculations The total rainfall for the August 21, 2020 storm during which samples were collected at this facility was 1.43 inches. We will use generally accepted conservative estimates of the run-off coefficient of C=1.71 for impervious areas, and C= 0.50 for pervious areas. The drainage areas contributing to each of the five outfalls as follows: Outfall Total Area (acres) Pervious Area (acres) @ C=0.50 Impervious Area (acres) @ C=0.90 001 30 18 (60%) 12 (40%) 003 5.26 2.63 (50%) 2.63 (50%) 004 11.5 8.05 (70%) 3.45 (30%) 002 15.5 6.2 (40%) 9.3 (60%) 005 25.7 25.7 (100%) 0 Total Discharge at Stormwater Discharge Outfall 001 Qt = [(0.50)(18) + (0.90)(12)] (1.43) (0.027) Qt = 0.764 MG Total Discharge at Stormwater Discharge Outfall 002 Qt = [(0.50)(2.63) + (0.90)(2.63)] (1.43) (0.027) Qt = 0.142 MG Total Discharge at Stormwater Discharge Outfall 003 Qt = [(0.50)(8.05) + (0.90)(3.45)] (1.43) (0.027) Qt = 0.275 MG Total Discharge at Stormwater Discharge Outfall 004 Qt = [(0.50)(6.2) + (0.90)(9.3)] (1.43) (0.027) Qt = 0.443 MG Total Discharge at Stormwater Discharge Outfall 005 Qt = [(0.50)(25.7)(1.43) (0.027)] Qt = 0.496 MG Page 2 of 2 ElIOf mmwlIoI Quatil Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) Qualitative Monitoring Report For Antidance on filling out this form, please visit https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/ npdes-stormwater-gps Permit No.: N/C/ / / / / / / / or Certificate of Coverage No.: N/C/G/0 /3 /0 /1 /2 /4 / Facility Name: Wieland Copper Products County: Stokes Phone No. Inspector: Clifford Cain Date of Inspection: 08/21/2020 Time of Inspection: 1305 Total Event Precipitation (inches): 1.43 All permits require qualitative monitoring to be performed during a "measurable storm event."

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 DEMLR Regional Office.
