Hey Tom,
Just wanted to touch base again on the renewal information for the NPDES permit. There were some
items I had spelled out in an early email (see below). Wanted to make sure we stayed in contact on this.
Thanks

The attorney was sent the ownership change forms and assume that they are being completed. I will
check on status. I hope that Richard Wargo can fill in the blanks if there are any.

Tom,

Thanks for talking with me yesterday. I'm sorry I missed the time and got to you
late. I promised that I'd get you guys an email with information I'm interested in
for the renewal so here it is. Please pass this along to Greg since I didnt find an
email for him. One thing that I need to mention is that your facility actually has
two stromwater permits from our Department and they both have renewals
ongoing right now, so it may be a little confusing. I'll try and explain in the points
below.
• You have two separate permits. One is a federally required permit under
the NPDES programs - NCS000456. That is the permit that I'm working on
redrafting. You are covered here because of the industrial activity at your
site.
• Second permit is a state required permit under our Post -Construction
Stormwater Program. This one is required because of the potential
impact of stormwater runoff from the developed area on your site. You
are located in the 20 coastal counties and this area has the state
stormwater post -construction program to protect sensitive coastal
resources. The permit number here is SW7040514 and it was issued
when you had deveolpment activity in the past. Your contacts for this will
be staff in our Washington Regional Office. It appears that you have
already heard from them about the renewal and a need for an engineer's
certification for the pond you have onsite. Continue to work with them
on the process. I can get you a contact person if you need it. You will
need to work with them to get the ownership changed on the permit
also.
• The rest of the points here will relate to the NCS000456 permit that I am
working on:
• We will need to get the ownership change addressed for the facility to
get the permit renewed to the correct owner. I sent a link with an online
process for for the owner change for the NCS permit earlier. Let me
know if you need it again.
• I'd like to have information about your industrial process and whether
any things have changed at the facility since the renewal request was
submitted in 2013. If you don't have a copy of the renewal Cove City sent
let me know and I'll scan it in and send it to you. In terms of changes,
please let me know about any process changes, any changes to the
treatment materials you use and any potential pollutant parameters that
we should be aware of. Also, if there have been any facility changes -
new construction, etc. I think someone mentioned a new micronized
cooper process? The parameters that you currently monitor for are:
BOD, COD, TSS, Oil and Grease, Cu, Cr, Ar, TN, TP and pH. I think I read
you the wrong list of parameters in our call yesterday.
• Please provide an updated site map showing the location of industrial
activities, drainage areas, outfalls, buildings, impervious area, stormwater
BMPs etc.

• We'd like to get an updated summary of your analytical data from your
monitoring efforts since the previous renewal application - 2014 through
2017.
• EPA passed rules a few years ago requiring electronic reporting of
monitoring data. We are working to get our system to handle this, so
hard copy DMRs are still required right now. We are collecting info to
help us as we move toward electronic reporting. So, we will need to get
accurate locations (latitude and longitude) for all of your outfall points.
• With the ownership change we will also need to get updated information
for all of the contact information we have in our system for your facility. I
have attached a file with what we currently have.
• Please provide other information that you think will be helpful in the
review for renewal.
After you take a look at this let me know if you have questions and want to talk.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Tom:
I would be available for a call.
Just let me know the time and call in number.
We would also need to have the details of the pond, including a
topographic survey of it, before we can make any determination of
what sites visits/engineering investigations/evaluations would be
needed to provide an engineer's review.

Permit Renewal
Mr. Houston,
I have a stormwater permit renewal
that needs to be completed for the
Cove City wet detention pond and
we have received a letter stating
that we need to include a designer's
certification that the project was
constructed in accordance with the
approved plans. This pond was put
in over 10 years ago. What do you
think the best way to go about
getting a designer's certification
would be? Could we just have it
certified by an engineer? I have
attached the original permit
application from 2004 as well as the
letter from NC DEQ. Please let me
know how you think we should
proceed.
Thanks
