Review of Permit Renewal — NC5000064
CAN Holdings, LLC — Ticona Plant
• SIC 2821— Plastic Materials, Synthetic Resins — Chemical and Allied Products
• Monitoring — 2007-11 only issues appear to be at the East Outfall.
1 TSS exceedance and BOD avg >65 and COD > 240
More recent data was better with one TSS exceedance
Previous permit did not have tiers so there was no increase in monitoring or specific response
requirements for exceedance. Probably best to leave this level of bas monitoring in for this
permit cycle as well with the tiers added in to address any issues.
• Buffalo Creek 9-53-(5). Stream shows as supporting so no special issues to address in the permit
• NC National Heritage review — no record of any species or communities of concern within a one
mile radius.
• MRO —James Moore and Halliday Keen inspected the site on 2/21/2019. Based on their review
they recommended issuance of the permit as drafted.

Note: the north during this rain event appeared to have significant
suspended red clay. Initially we were unable to determine the
source. but recently discovered a "washed out" hole adjacent to a
stormdrainplace where the integrity of the stormwater drain
appeared to be impaired. Work notification has been submitted
and project isis being developed for repairs. This should eliminate
the red clay
suspended solids.

At the time of this sampling event, several temporary storage tanks
were delivered to the site and were found to not be "clean" as
requested. While awaiting for the rental company to come and
remove, a rain event occurred and SW monitoring occurred with no
realization that such an event would exceed or reach benchmarks.
No other activities were underway to have such an impact, thus
these tanks were removed and the next sampling event showed
normal.

Permit No. NCS006064
PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: INDIVIDUAL PERMIT COVERAGE
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.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described
in 40 Cl~R §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.
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 that
has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this permit. All stormwater 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 allowed by this 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.

PART II 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 111, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
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.
Part II Page 1 of 12

Permit No. NCS000064
(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 ill, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
2. 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. 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 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; 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 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 (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary
containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by
amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment
and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface
waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily
as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
Part II Page 2 of 12

Permit No. NCS006064
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.
3. 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
increased 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.
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.
5. 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 at 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
Part II Page 3 of 12

Permit No. NCS000064
personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions 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 ofsignlficantspills 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
BM Ps (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison ofsample 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
Program's website (See'Monitoring Forms' here:
htt s: de .nc. ov about divisions ener -mineral-land-resources n des-
stormwater-individual
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 consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants 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 Dept 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 II Page 4 of 12

Permit No. NCS000064
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 DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions.

1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly
sampling) during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until
this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three
response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (110S) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
is required. 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). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's
normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part 111, Section E). However, for purposes
Part II Page 5 of 12

Permit No. NCS000064
of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the
analytical results from the first safflple with valid results within the monitoring period.

1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
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.
3 Monitoring periods remain consistent through the permit term and through the renewal process.
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 during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
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 the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's
release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the
release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

i ..
Tier One
If- The first valid
d sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any
parameter at an outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling
results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations
within the benchmark range.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection.
5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark
exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the
date the selected actions were implemented.
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.
Tier Two
If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no
discharge) are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at
a specific discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct
monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two
consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three
consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the
option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional
Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three,
including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process.
.... Tier Three
If: The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or
are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the
permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth
analvtical results:
Then: The Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all of the parameters herein;
• require sampling of additional or substitute parameters;
• 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;
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process.

SECTION D: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential 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
during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform
further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability
to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and
recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions).
Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored
(See Definitions).
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 will be maintained with the SPPP.

Footnotes:
1 Monitoring Frequency: Twice per year during a measureable storm event unless other provisions of this
permit prompt monthly monitoring. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods. The permittee must
continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal process until a new permit is issued.
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.
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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new
potential sources of stormwater pollution, and 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, the
Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the 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.
SECTION E: SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A (1.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]

Effective December 21, 2016 or when the agency's electronic reporting system is able
to accept NPDES stormwater permit monitoring data, the permittee shall report
discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge
Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application. NC DEMLR will notify permittees
when eDMR is ready to accept stormwater monitoring data.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each
month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted
facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet.
Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media
Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all
discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and also will be
required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one
signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DEQ [Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due
to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the
households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES
electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may
be submitted on paper DMR forms or alternative forms approved by the Director.
Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See "How to
Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due no later than 30 days from
the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory.
2. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic_ Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To
obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic
reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting
waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty
(60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin
submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not
exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports
shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and
is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved
electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved
Part II Page 11 of U

Permit No. NCS000064
reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the
Division for the period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver
are found on the following web page:

The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are
no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas
within the proposed project boundary, orwithina one -mile radius of the project boundary.
Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within or near the project
boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed, The results of this
query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are
found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records.
Please also note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning,
project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory
decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification
to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of
NCNHP data may also not be redistributed without permission.

Note: the north during this rain event appeared to have significant
suspended red clay. Initially we were unable to determine the
source. but recently discovered a "washed out" hole adjacent to a
stormdrainplace where the integrity of the stormwater drain
appeared to be impaired. Work notification has been submitted
and project isis being developed for repairs. This should eliminate
the red clay

At the time of this sampling event, several temporary storage tanks
were delivered to the site and were found to not be "clean" as
requested. While awaiting for the rental company to come and
remove, a rain event occurred and SW monitoring occurred with no
realization that such an event would exceed or reach benchmarks.
No other activities were underway to have such an impact, thus
these tanks were removed and the next sampling event showed
normal.

Dear Ms. Carter:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review
the draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it
contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from the facility's current permit:
I. You are required to collecf analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during
"measurable storm events" as defined in Part II, Section B. This term is different from the
"representative storm event" in earlier permits.
2. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in Part II,
Section A.
3. Monitoring requirements remain very similar in the permit with required monitoring for
TSS, BOD, COD and pH. Stormwater benchmarks remain in the permit as before. Keep in
mind that benchmarks are not permit limits, but rather guidelines for implementing the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark exceedance is not a permit
violation; however, the permittee must respond to exceedances. The draft permit has
added a tiered response process for benchmark exceedances consistent with other
permits in our program. Please become familiar with the tiered process as proper
response under the tiers maybe enforceable items under your permit. Response to the
tiered process may include review of onsite conditions, installation of BMPs or
requirements for more frequent monitoring.

4. Vehicle maintenance (Tables 4 & 5) monitoring parameters have been revised. Non -Polar
Oil & Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. The benchmark
for Non -polar Oil & Grease using this method is 15 mg/L. This requirement appears in all
individual stormwater permits; however, it only applies to facilities that perform onsite
vehicle maintenance activities. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permit
cycle, the requirements shall apply. Also, pH monitoring is no longer required for
discharges only associated with vehicle maintenance activities.
5. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part II, Section E to comply with
federal regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring reports. Our
electronic submittal process is not available for use at this time, but we will continue to
provide feedback on when this process will be available.
6. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal
law in Part III, Section A, 2(b) and (g).
Please review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days following
your receipt of the draft. Comments maybe emailed to. me at bradley.bennett ncdenr.gov or
mailed to my attention at NC DEMLR, Stormwater Permitting Program, 1612 Mail Service Center,

Permit No. NCS000064 DRAFT
PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: INDIVIDUAL PERMIT COVERAGE
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.
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 (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 recertify
the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
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 that
has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this permit. All stormwater 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 allowed by this 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.

PART II 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 I11, 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.
Part 11 Page 1 of 15

Permit No. NCS000064 DRAFT
(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 11I, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
2. 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. 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 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; 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). 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 (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary
containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by
amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment
and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface
waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily
as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
Part II Page 2 of 15

Permit No. NCS000064 DRAFT
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.
3. 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
increased 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.
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.
5. 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 at the outfalls required in Part II 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
Part II Page 3 of 1S

Permit No. NCS000064 DRAFT
personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions 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 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
Program's website (See'Monitoring Forms' here:
http: //deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energyy-mineral land-resources/energy_
mineral -land -permits /stormwater-permits/npdes-industrial-sw).
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 consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants 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.

Permit No. NCS000064 DRAFT
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 DEMLR Regional Engineer. See De initions.

1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly
sampling) during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until
this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three
response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the First 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed.
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 Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
is required. 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). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's
normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part III, Section E). However, for purposes
Part II Page 5 of 15

Permit No. NCS000064 DRAFT
of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the
analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

Footnotes:
1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
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.
3 Monitoring periods remain consistent through the permit term and through the renewal process.
May consider adding comment if permit is issued in ight before monitoring period 2.
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 during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
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 belev In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's
release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the
release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year during a measureable storm event (unless other provisions of
the permit prompt monthly sampling), until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this
permitting cycle. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions
under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in
Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation
between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall be begun within
the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (00) that discharges
stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall
status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain
gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge 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 5 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 increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record
keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in response to a
tired program. See description of tiers and required response in Part 11 Section B.

SECTION D: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential 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
during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform
further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability
to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and
recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions).
Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored
(See Definitions).
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 will be maintained with the SPPP.

Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new
potential sources of stormwater pollution, and 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, the
Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the 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.
SECTION E: SPECIAL CONDITIONS

Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due
to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the
households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES
electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may
be submitted on paper DMR forms or alternative forms approved by the Director.
Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See "How to
Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due no later than 30 days from
the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory.
2. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To
obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic
reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting
waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty
(60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin
submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not
exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports
shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and
is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved

Thanks, we will make these changes. Should this information (facility name, owner name) also apply to your
wastewater permit (NC00004952)? That permit still has an owner with and address of PO Box 87, Shelby. I can update
for both if things should be the same?

And yet another request. I have attached a print out from our database with the contact information we have in our
system for your permit. Could you review this and let me know of any needed changes or additions. Just as a note, we
like to have emails if we can get those for your contacts.

I hate to keep bothering you with stuff, but I do have one more question. Do you have an electronic version of the site
map that you could send me? We are trying to get all of our files in an electronic storage system but our scanner won't
handle the bigger plans and maps.

Until we can find a time to talk I thought I'd send a few questions for you about the permit renewal. Again, I apologize
for the long time since the renewal request.
• I'd like to discuss any changes at your site since the renewal request in March 2012. The information in
that request indicated some closures of certain activities in 2010. Maybe there have been other
changes we should discuss. 2012 was inclusive of our plant as it is. Results are in attached file.
• If you have updated you sit map since 2012 it would be helpful to get a copy of the most recent
map. This would help us with the renewal and be useful for our regional office staff when they visit the
site. I'll scan a map tomorrow
• I'd like to discuss monitoring results and get any updates on data collected over the last few
years. There have been some benchmark exceedences and I'd like to discuss actions you have taken
and how things are looking recently. See note under each section with an exceedance.
• Also like to discuss and process changes at your facility that could impact stormwater discharges. We
generally work under roof and with secondary containment.... Would like to discuss an upcoming
project for carports to replace tarps on roll offs.

Hello, and first let me apologize for how long it has taken us to get going on your permit renewal. A number of issues
over the last few years have led to a backlog on renewal of our Individual permits. I would like to set up a time where I
can call and talk with you about the renewal. I will be working on this process. Since the previous renewal application
came in back in 2012 I'm guessing there may be some changes that we should discuss and possibly have documented for
the renewal. : i J
I work part time so I will give you my schedule and you can let me know when you might be available. in the upcoming
week I will be in the office on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (2/6 through 2/8).
Thanks and I look forward to talking with you about the renew.

No additional information is required at this time, but we may contact you in the future. Please

Note: the north during this rain event appeared to have significant
suspended red clay. Initially we were unable to determine the
source. but recently discovered a "washed out" hole adjacent to a
stormdrain place where the integrity of the stormwater drain
appeared to be impaired. Work notification has been submitted
and project isis being developed for repairs. This should eliminate
the red day
suspended solids.

At the time of this sampling event, several temporary storage tanks
were delivered to the site and were found to not be "clean" as
requested. While awaiting for the rental company to come and
remove, a rain event occurred and SW monitoring occurred with no
realization that such an event would exceed or reach benchmarks.
No other activities were underway to have such an impact, thus
these tanks were removed and the next sampling event showed
normal.

Pem,
As per our conversation today it is my understanding that the line which pumps all collected stormwater
(and a de minimus amount of unknown source water) from your North stormwater Outfall to your on -site
wastewater treatment plant has failed.
It is also my understanding that the pipe is compromised near a hill and a "geyser" of water is produced
when the pump is turned on to pull water from the outfall which is creating a safety issue.
You stated that the water from the outfall has been sampled for COD, TSS, and pH and all are well below
the benchmark concentrations in your stormwater permit NCS000064.
As such this Office does not have a problem with the discharge of water from the North Outfall to surface
waters of the State while you work on the repairs of the line between the North Outfall and the WWTP.
Please keep our Office informed as to the work at the facility and your progress in restoring the piping
system.
If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact this Office,

Dear Ms. Carter:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit:
• TICN, MBAS, Phenols, Total Lead, and Bis (2-Ethylhehyl) phthalate have been removed from
analytical monitoring.
• pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
• All analytical monitoring has changed from annual to semi-annual (once in the spring and once
in the fall). This change is based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in
renewal permits and makes stormwater discharge sampling frequency consistent with qualitative
monitoring. Please note that analytical monitoring must still be performed during a
representative storm event (whereas qualitative does not).
• Instead of "cut-off concentrations," the Division has incorporated benchmark values into the
permit. These benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for your
facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). If any measurements exceed benchmark
values, your facility should evaluate the effectiveness of its Best Management Practices (BMPs),
review and/or update its SPPP, and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination
(see Part II, Sections B and D).
• Total Flow monitoring has been removed. The permit still requires Total Rainfall amount and
Rainfall Event Duration be recorded for each sampling event. This change is also based on the
Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits. Please note that the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) site map must include drainage area for each
outfall in acres and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part 11, Sec. A).
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will be issued in approximately two months.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000064
CNA Holdings, Inc.
Cleveland County
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit:
• TKN, MBAS, Phenols, Total lead, and Bis (2-Ethylhehyl) phthalate have been removed from
analytical monitoring.
• pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
• All analytical monitoring has changed from annual to semi-annual (once in the spring and once
in the faIl). This change is based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in
renewal permits and makes stormwater discharge sampling frequency consistent with qualitative
monitoring. Please note that analytical monitoring must still be performed during a
representative storm event (whereas qualitative does not).
• Instead of "cut-off concentrations," the Division has incorporated benchmark values into the
permit. These benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for your
facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). If any measurements exceed benchmark
values, your facility should evaluate the effectiveness of its Best Management Practices '(BMPs),
review and/or update its SPPP, and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination
(see Part II, Sections B and D).
• Total Flow monitoring has been removed. The permit still requires Total Rainfall amount and
Rainfall Event Duration be recorded for each sampling event. This change is also based on the
Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits. Please note that the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) site map must include drainage area for each
outfall in acres and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part 11, Sec. A).
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will be issued in approximately two months.

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 4. Qualitative
monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests
are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls is performed when stormwater
discharge occurs but does not need to be performed during a representative storm event.
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 will be maintained with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan.
All qualitative monitoring will be- performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and
once in the fall (September - November).

'You must monitor quarterly in the first year of your coverage for each benchmark parameter (see Part 3.2.2.1). For
each parameter, no additional benchmark monitoring is required if the average of your 4 monitoring values does not
exceed the benchmark (see Part 3.2.2.3). However, for each parameter there are additional requirements if the
average of your four monitoring values exceeds the benchmark (see Part 3.2.2.4).
2Monitor once per year for each monitoring year.
3 The benchmark value of lead is determined as a function of hardness (in units of mg(L) in the water column. The
value given in Table C-1 (i.e. 0.082 mg/L) corresponds to a hardness of 100 mg/L and should be used if you either
did not analyze water hardness, other hardness data are not available, or the water hardness is less than 100 mg/L. If
a laboratory analysis indicates that the water hardness is below 100 mg/L, then you should use the benchmark for
100 mg/L. If a laboratory analysis indicates that the water hardness is greater than 100 mg/L, then the following
equation may be used to determine the benchmark value for lead:
Benchmark = (e 1(1.273)(In hardness) — 1.4601)/1000
Example: Laboratory analysis of your water sample indicates the hardness is 175 mg/L.
Benchmark = (e I(1.273)(ln 175) — 1.460] )/1000
= (e5.1148)/1000

• 24 March 1999: Facility applied for a permit renewal. `
• 29 July 1999: Name change from "HNA Holdings, Inc." to "CNA Holdings, Inc.".
• 1 August 2000: Pcrmit issucd to "HNA Holdings, Inc." (Note that this was incorrect according to the
record on file. No further correspondence regarding fixing this error is on file.) Analytical monitoring was
required, quarterly in the 4 h year (no cut-off concentrations). Parameters unchanged. Qualitative and
vehicle monitoring also required.
• rune 2001: Discussions with permittee about second containment of their recycled process water. Division
approved their request to not have secondary containment for this water.
• 2 February 2005: Submitted permit renewal application. "CNA Holdings, Inc. — TICONA" is listed as the
facility name. "CNA Holdings, Inc." is listed as the owner. The permittee requested that three additional
waste streams be specified in the permit, 1.) Water mixed with spring water, 2.) Firewater, and 3.) Recycle
process water.
Central Office Review Summary:
General Observations: My main concern is that there are actually two companies onsite that are operating under this
permit. Originally, the two were a single company. Now, the other company, Invista, is a separate entity. The
permittee explained to me that Invista does not have outfalls, and therefore shares outfalls with CNA Holdings and
discharges under the CNA permit. The original permit was written to cover the combined operations of Invista and
CNA Holdings (which were a single company at the time). The companies split in 1998, but it does not appear that
the changes at the facilities were understood at that time. The analytical parameters were unchanged in the 2000
permit. I would recommend that Invista have its own permit covering its own discharges. I have written the current
draft to reflect only parameters of concern for operations at CNA Holdings. However, I am uncertain as to how to
create outfalls for Invista. A site visit is recommended to investigate this situation.
2. Impairment: Buffalo Creek is not impaired or listed as a concern in the Broad River Basinwide Plan.
2

NCS000064
3. Changes Since Previous Permit: There have not been significant changes since the previous permit, however it
appears that changes prior to the 2000 permit's issuance were not considered at that time and should be
considered now. The permittee has requested that three additional sources of water be added to the permit. The
first source, water mixed with spring water comes from an unidentified source of water flowing to the north
outfall (-6-7 gpm). This may be either a spring or a leaking water line that can not be found. The second water
source is fire water, which is contact quenching water mixed with clean water streams -usually from their lake.
The third water source is recycle process water (Buffalo Creek water mixed with contact quenching water).
Normally, process water is treated and discharged under their NPDES effluent limits. She was concerned that
when a pipe breaks and water leaves the site, that they are in violation of their stormwater permit. I explained to
the permittee that this permit does not cover wastewater.
4. Anal3dical Monitoring- The East outfall has high COD and BODS. The permittee does not know the source of
the problem.
5. Qualitative Monitoring: Qualitative monitoring is not summarized in this report. It did not show any signs of
concern.
Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. TKN, MBAS, Phenols, Total Lead, and Bis (2-Ethylhehyl) phthalate have been removed. These chemicals are
not used at CNA Holdings.
2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
3. Due to a potential lag time between the expiration of this permit and its renewal, I have specified in the permit
that the permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables
1, 4, and 5. This approach is recommended because there has been a significant lag time since the expiration of
the pevious cycle. This will provide testing if there is a lag in future timefremes. "Measurement Frequency: All
analytical monitoring will be performed two times per year for each year until either another permit is issued for
this facility or until this permit is revoked or rescinded. If at the end of this permitting cycle, the permittee has
submitted the appropriate paperwork for a renewal application before the submittal deadline, the permittee will
be considered for a renewal application. The applicant must continue semi-annual analytical monitoring until
the renewed permit is issued. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting
cycle."
4. Benchmarks have been added to this draft permit.
5. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually.
6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall and event
duration parameters are in this permit, however.) (There was no flow requirement in the previous permit.)
7. The permittee is requiredto collect all of the analytical monitoring samples during representative storm events as
defined in this permit. Qualitative monitoring does not have to be performed during a representative storm
event.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
1. Part II Section A has been revised. It now specifies all of the items to include on the site map.
2. Vehicle maintenance has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative
monitoring.
3. I will mention in the cover letter that Form SWU-242-020705 is available for qualitative monitoring.
4. I will mention in the cover letter that this permit does not address 1.) Unknown sources of discharge water,
2.) Fire water, or 3.) Recycle process water.

Discussions with permittee: Peen Carter, 704.480.4900, 26 March 2007
1. What is the legal name of the owner of this permit? The legal facility name?
a. Both the facility and the owner are "CNA Holdings, Inc. — Ticona Facility".
2. Have you had any significant process changes since your permit submittal?
a. ANSWER: No significant changes

1-877-623-6748

' NCS 000064
3. Which of the materials listed as products on your website are manufactured at this facility?
a. ANSWER: They manufacture Vectra (a liquid crystal polymer), polyester polymers, and compounds of
these substances (compounded with fiberglass, etc).
4. Is Bis(2ethyl hexyl) Phthalate used onsite? Other phthalates? What is it used for?
a. ANSWER: There are two companies on this site. They used to be a single company. The other company,
Invista, discharges through CNA Holding's outfalls. (Invista does not have its own permit.) Before the split
in 1998, the stormwater permit addressed all of the testing parameters for the facility. Bis(2ethyl hexyl)
Phthalate was used at the Invista portion of the site. CNA uses dimethyl phthalate, but this is liquid only
when molten and would therefore not be a stormwater contaminant.
5. You are currently required to report on lead, phenols, MBAS, and TKN. What are the sources of these materials at
your facility? You have had very low analytical results for them, and these are not part of the EPA Sector -Specific
Permit. Do you have zinc onsite? EPA recommends zinc testing.
a. ANSWER: Phenols area contaminant of one of their byproducts. After it is made, it is stored in a tank with
secondary containment. (Phenols had very low analytical data.) Lead is not used in their process. She does
not know why lead was added initially. (Lead had very low analytical data.) She does not know the source
of MBAS onsite. When Invista was a part of the company, she reports that they had emulsions and
surfactants in their process. MBAS are not used at CNA. (However, this still appears in their stormwater
because Invista discharges to C2NN). The only nitrogen used onsite is stored as liquid nitrogen and used as
nitrogen gas (N2). This is inside secondary containment. She does not know why TKN was added initially.
The facility does not use zinc.
6—You _558",-and "555".—Is-this-a-typo?
a. ANSWER: She believes it is a typo, and that the numbers should be 60, 58, and 55, respectively. These
numbers are above are current benchmark but they are in -line with COD values found at the same outfall for
the same rain event.
7. What do you think could be causing high COD at your East outfall?
a. ANSWER: She does not know why it is high. They dredged out the swale that flows to the East outfall a
few years ago (prior to this sampling). They replaced over -grown weeds with rip -rap. This facility was
designed to contain and treat the first inch of rain (which they did voluntarily). So, she does not know'why
their discharge would have any high numbers.
8. You have requested that three additional sources of water be added to your permit. Water mixed with spring water
comes from an unidentified source of water flowing to the north outfall (-6-7 gpm). This maybe either a spring or a
leaking water line that can not be found. The second water source is fire water, which is contact quenching water
mixed with clean water streams -usually from their lake. The third water source is recycle process water (Buffalo
Creek water mixed with contact quenching water): Your application says that "water" is used for quenching
polymers and plastic resins. It is circulated back to two large clarifiers where it is treated with ferrous sulfide and a
flocculant. It then goes through seven anthracite coal filters, and then stored until it is re -used. Are you asking for
this process water to be allowed to leave the site?
a. ANSWER: The process water normally either continues in the recycle loop or is eventually treated and
discharged under their NPDES effluent limits. However, on occasion a line will break and they will have a
discharge. The concern about a line breaking is for both the fire water and the recycle stream. After
discussion, I explained to her that the stormwater permit does not cover process water discharge.

Discussions with permittee: Pem Carter, 704.480.4900, 6 May 2007
1. Permitting options onsite:
a. Pursue to separate permits for the two businesses: This is not an option
because the stormwater is co -mingled.
b. Pursue a co -permit for the two businesses
c. Pursue a single permit in one company's name: CNA Holdings will be the
owner of the permit.
2. Can you provide a contact name for Invista so that we can determine the possible
chemical components of their stormwater?
a. Pem explained that all of the chemical components that would be present
in the stormwater would originate from CAN Holdings. All of Invista's
manufacturing is inside.
b. CNA owns the land. Invista is a tenant of a small portion of the site.

Michael,
I am reviewing an individual permit for this facility, and have discovered that
this facility has split into two companies. Have you heard anything about that?
It is in Shelby (Cleveland County). CNA sold part of the manufacturing to
Invista. From discussion with CNA, it appears that Invista does not have
outfalls. CNA has held the permit and has done the sampling etc. So, I was going
to talk to Bradley about whether or not we need to have them separate for legal
reasons and what to do about that if, in fact, the facilities are co -mingled and
possibly can't separate their stormwater. (CNA seems to understand that this is a
liability for them, but has still continued to operate this way.) Anyway, before I
talked to Bradley I wanted to see if you had heard anything about this.
Thanks,
Kelly

Review notes for d S 0 064Ticona. Shelb
By KBP for Kelly Johnson
3/27/07
Review Issue - Ticona and Invista sharing the same site.
1) Inspection of site plan suggests that the two businesses may be interlocated to an
extent that would not allow easy segregation of their stormwater runoff. It is almost
certain that segregation of the runoff is not currently achieved.
2) These two companies have common history at this site, and cooperative
arrangements for the separated companies must certainly already exist to some
extent.
3) Choices for permitting
a. Pursue two separate permits for the two businesses.
b. Pursue a single permit in the name of one or the other, with the expectation
that one is the tenant of the other, and that perhaps the land owner could be
the designated permittee, and is responsible for all runoff from the site. We
have done this before.
c. Pursue a co-permittee approach, as we have done on a few occasions with
the airport authorities. Name both as co-permittees, and maybe identify one
or the other as "managing co-permittee"?? (KBP made up verbiage). Maybe
not.
4) Seems like we need to get PEM & Ticona to put a little more thought into the physica
facts at their site and to advise us on how they would like to do this.

tank has been emptied. All outside heat transfer vessels have been emptied.
The above ground storage tank (AST) in the North Tank Farm containing diethylene glycol (DEG)
has been emptied and the diethylene glycol (DEG) tank that did not have secondary containment
has been removed. Electrical transformers have been secondarily contained where practicable.
The automated warehouse area has been shut down. There is no outside drum storage except
for wastes, which are secondarily contained and covered.
Ticona
The 1.6 MM gallon fuel oil storage tank has been emptied, cleaned and is scheduled for
demolition in the first quarter 2005. There have been no other significant changes.

Request That Additional Streams of Water Be Specified in the Permit
CNA Holdings, Inc. ("Ticona") requests that the three additional streams of water described below
be added to the stormwater permit.
Water mixed with spring water. There is an unidentified source (trickle flow) of water that joins
an Artesian spring and flows into the north outfall sump at a rate of approximately 6-7 gpm.
Ticona has made numerous attempts to identify the source of this water, but the actual source of
the water remains undetermined. The water may be another spring, or could be coming from a
leaking water line that cannot be found.
In addition, Ticona is also requesting that the two other sources of clean water be added to the
permit. While releases of these streams have been reported to the NCDENR prior to discharge,
Ticona desires to specifically add the discharge of these additional sources of clean water.
Representative analyses of these sources of water are provided in the section entitled Analytical
Monitoring Results under the North Outfall.
Firewater. Occasionally Ticona has needed to discharge firewater through a permitted storm
water outfall. Firewater is made up from contact quenching water and clean water streams. The
clean water stream may include water from site's Recreation Club Lake. Typically when there is
a need to discharge firewater it is because the plant instrument air has tripped and caused the
deluge systems to activate, or during routine testing of the fire suppression systems. Ticona is
not requesting to authorize the discharge of firewater that has become contaminated and would
therefore require treatment. Ticona is only requesting authorization to discharge clean firewater.
Recycle Process Water. Ticona also has occasionally needed to discharge "recycle process
water." Recycle process water is made up primarily from Buffalo Creek waters and recovered
contact quenching water. Recycle process water is distributed to the site and used in numerous
water uses such -as deionized water, chill water, cooling tower water makeup, water softeners for
the boiler, and contact quenching water to cool extruded polymers. Water that is used for
quenching polymers 1 plastic resins is circulated back to two large clarifiers, where it is treated
with ferrous sulfide and a flocculent for the removal of floating particulates. From there it goes
through seven anthracite coal filter media beds prior to being stored in the 600,000 gallon
aboveground storage tank, where it would begin the loop again.

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Renewal
HNA Holdings Incorporated
Permit Number NCS000064
Cleveland County
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000064. This permit expires
on July 3 i, 2005. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) requires that an application for
permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. In order to assure your continued
coverage under your permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit.
To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed
you will find an individual permit renewal application form, supplemental information request, and Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan certification.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplimental information will constitute your application for
renewal of your permit. As stated above, the application form must be completed and returned along with all
requested information by February 4, 2005 in order for the permit to be renewed by July 31, 2005.
Failure to request renewal by February 4, 2005 may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. 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 $25,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Bill Mills of the Stormwater and
General Permits Unit at [phone], ext. 548.

Regarding secondary containment for Recycled Process Water Storage

Organization: NC DWQ
To: [e-mail]
Dear Ms. Carter:
Thank you for your letter of March 21 where you describe the storage of
600,000 gallons of recycled process water at the facility in Shelby.
(NCS000064). The data on the analyses for TOC was particularly helpful
in our evalutation of your request that secondary containment not be
required for this storage tank.
After discussion with my supervisor, Bradley Bennett, we are both of the
opinion that there would be practical purpose in providing secondary
containment for this storage. In may way it is not unlike a raw water
storage tank at a production facility, which we do not hold to the
mandate for secondary containment. Your request is approved and we are
satisfied that the intent of the permit requirements in this regard are
not being compromised.
Thank you for submitting this to us for review.. Let me know if you have
any questions on this matter.

Subject: Recycled Process Water Storage Tank and Secondary Containment
CNA Holding, Inc — TICONA, NPDES Permit No._0000_64
Cleveland County
As discussed during our phone conversation, I am requesting direction from the state in determining if
secondary containment would be required for Ticona's recycled process water. As you are aware, when we
made this environmentally sound decision to reduce water usage with a recycling program, we intended to
utilize our existing storage facility.
CNA Holding, Inc — Ticona implemented a water -recycling program for the Process Water loop, which comes
in contact with various polymers/plastics and is used for its cooling properties with these articles. This
recycled process water begins the recycling loop by circulating to strand baths where it comes in contact with
the polymers/plastics resin strands, then is carried back to two large Gravers - clarifiers, where it is treated
with ferrous sulfide and a floculant for the removal of floating particulates. From there it goes through seven
anthracite coal filter media beds prior to being stored in the 600,000 gallon aboveground storage tank, where
it would begin the loop again. I have taken the liberty of analyzing this water for Total Organic Carbon
showing an average 1.28 mgll with a reporting limit of 1.0 mg/l. (See attached Prism Lab Reports.)
CNA Holding, Inc — Ticona would appreciate your attention to this request. Ticona is committed to ensuring
compliance with all County, State, and Federal regulations. Should there be a need for further discussion
pertaining to the information on these forms, feel free to call me at 704/480-4900, or via email at

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000064. This permit
expires on August 31, 1999. In order to assure your continued coverage under your permit, you must apply to the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit. To make this renewal process easier, we are
informing you in advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find an individual permit renewal
application form, supplemental information request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplimental information will constitute your application for
renewal of your permit. The application form must be completed and returned along with all requested
information within thirty days of receipt of this letter in order to constitute a timely renewal filing.
Recent legislation modified the fee structure for DWQ permits. Renewal fees have been eliminated and annual
fees have been changed. The new annual fee for your permit is now $715.00 (you will be invoiced later this year
for your annual fee.) A copy of the new fee schedule is enclosed in this package.
Failure to request renewal within the time period indicated 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.
