Subject: Relief from Monthly Monitoring
Stormwater Permit # NCG030670
Fontaine Modification Company
Mecklenburg County
We are in receipt of your June 23, 2021 email requesting relief from monthly monitoring at the
Fontaine Modification Company Charlotte plant. Based on past site inspections, including July 21, 2021,
and email correspondence regarding copper, zinc and implementation of a TSS abatement plan, the
facility is in compliance with the tiered response actions and other conditions of the NCG030670 Permit.
Therefore, the Division is granting regulatory relief from the Tier responses. Upon receipt of this letter,
the subject facility may resume the permit specified semi-annual analytical monitoring for the remainder
of the current permit term which expires on June 30, 2026. This decision applies only to the copper and
zinc benchmarks. A benchmark exceedance of any other parameter listed in your permit will trigger the
tiered response actions as described in the general permit.
You must notify this office, in writing, within five business days if you become aware of any
other significant source of copper or zinc at your facility that has the potential to be exposed to
stormwater. The relief granted in this letter is contingent upon the current industrial practices and the
TSS abatement plan at the Fontaine Modification Company Charlotte plant. Please retain and append
this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) or permit. If you have any questions
or comments concerning this letter, please contact me or James Moore at 704-663-1699.
incerely,

Mr. Moore,
Good morning. I hope you are well and enjoying this cooler weather.
My client Fontaine Modification has Tiered relief for TSS abatement plan per your assistance this past 18
months. I know the permit is renewing and we have paid our fees and are waiting for the renewal notice to
obtain our COC on August 1 st.
I am writing to find out if or when you want to schedule a site inspection for renewal of the TSS Abatement
with the renewal of the general permit. We were visited recently by Mecklenburg County stormwater and
passed with a great grade.
Let me know what you want to do about this and we will make it work.
Thanks SO much!
