Box 748 Biscoe, NC 27209 j U N 2 2 2017 Dear Mr. Burger: ROY COOPER Governor MICHAEL S. REGAN Secretary TRACY DAVIS DireClOr June 20, 2017 Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000255 Grede II, LLC Montgomery County 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: 1. You are required to collect 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, Changes have been made to three monitoring parameters, including changes to two benchmarks. Stormwater 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 as directed in the Tiers. Non -polar Oil & Grease [EPA Method.1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces Oil & Grease to better represent potential discharges at a facility storing only petroleum -based fuel oils (as opposed to non -petroleum -based fuel oils). The benchmark for Non -polar Oil & Grease using this method is 15 mg/L. • Monitoring for Zinc has been removed from your permit because this constituent is not used in this facility's industrial processes. State of Noah Carolina I Environmental Quality I Energy, Mineral and Land Resources 1612 Mail Service Center' 512 North Salisbury Street I Raleigh, NC 27699-1612 919 707 9200 T + Monitoring for Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen has been removed from your permit because in multiple years of monitoring, levels have been consistently well below the benchmark. • The benchmarks for the following parameters have been revised to reflect current water quality standards: o Copper benchmark is increased from .007 mg/L to .010 mg/L; o Cadmium benchmark is increased from .001 mg/L to .003 mg/L; o Lead benchmark is increased from .03 mg/L to .075 mg/L; and o Nickel benchmark is increased from .26 mg/L to .335 mg/L. • Vehicle maintenance (Tables 5,6) monitoring parameters have been revised as follows: o Non -Polar Oil & Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. 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. o pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated with vehicle maintenance activities. 4. Tiered responses have been added to this permit. 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 in accordance with Part II, Section B of this permit. 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. This section of the permit became effective December 21, 2016. 6. Civil and administrative penalty 'amounts have been updated to reflect current federal law in Part III, Section A, 2(b) and (g). 7. Representative Outfall Status has not been granted for this facility. As such, you must perform the required analytical monitoring at all Stormwater Discharge Outfalls (SDO). Previous inspections by DEQ staff indicated that SDO #2 was not being monitored and that SDO #3 (alleyway) was being used to represent SDO#2. Unless DEQ staff grants approval of Representative Outfall Status, you must monitor all SDOs, including SDO#2. In addition, note that qualitative monitoring shall continue to be required at all SDOs, even if Representative Outfall Status is granted in the future. 8. The following laboratory data reporting issues must be addressed: StoofNor6Cmbu i Mw&mwWQ=W1E=V,Maud=dtaodRemm 1612Mm7ServiceG6la 1 512NDrihSa%bWSheet I Rakigt.NC276MI612 919707 MOD T • Lab reports submitted to DEQ have erroneously labeled SDO#3 (alleyway) as SDO#2. Please refer to the facility site map for proper identification of each SDO. • Lab results for phenols have been reported in the incorrect units. Please ensure that lab results for all parameters are reported in the units specified in the permit (mg/Q. • For cadmium, the reported minimum detection limit appears to be above the benchmark. Please ensure that the laboratory's minimum detection limit for cadmium and all other parameters.are at or below the benchmarks specified in the permit. Please review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days following your receipt of the draft. Comments may be emailed to me at iulie.ventaloro@ncdenr.gov or mailed to my attention at NC DEMLR, Stormwater Permitting Program, 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612.

The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a de cri Lion of the physical facility 11 and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected,to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The. ite,Ov Niew shall contain the following: (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangleiiihp or appropriately drafted equivalent V. map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the name of the receiving waters toT hid the stormwater outfalls discharge, or if the discharge is to a"municip separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and thee. -ki ate -receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the points,of�5tormw ter discharge associated with industrial activity. The general locatian,map,for alternatively the site map) shall identify whether any receiving wa er-kare impaired (on the states 303(d) list of impaired waters) or if the site ilocated 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 out€all; 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 r Permit No. NC5000255 (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3. 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 f' N AV the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to rainfall and ru on-fl-Bws;. te Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, rrlarial handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. I�04.6,as where elimination of exposure is not practical, this review shall documentithe fusibility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of potential c ni*'inatia . (b) Secondary Containment Requireme is adrRecords. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage. of li iZ_me-terrals: storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Supertii0Ame dments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) wa e priority cem' als; and storage�m any amount of hazardous substances, in order to prevent leaks and spills from ontaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks anAored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be mainta ned. �Irthe secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyance'}' Ystems, 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. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. Part II Page 2 of 15 Permit No. NCS000255 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 House eepi g:PrograA. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. .,..r N The program shall address all stormwater cont .d' kt:systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface wat rs and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage/area mat ial handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading ar�eas,and)haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural B Ps. /� eq rogram shall establish schedules of P ins ections, maintenance, tid housekeep'ing,activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment''facility eas, and facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure ofstomw`ter pollution where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these arear6l be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the es6blished'schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be ecbrded and maintained in the SPPP. S. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring 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 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. Part II Page 3 of 15 Permit No. NCS000255 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 ofsignificant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview); A (b) a written re-certif cation that the stc the presence of non-stormwater disc (c) a documented re-evaluation of the E BM Ps (BMP Summary element of th (d) a review and comparison ofsample;c applicable) over the past year ,,�inclu status.

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. 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 Part 11 Page 4 of 15 Permit No. NCS000255 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 ermittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer.

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. `l 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. Part II Page 5 of 15 Permit No. NCS000255 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 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.

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. 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 below. 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.

Box 749 Commented ILM3RlI: Refer to e-mail from'nffany Biscoe, NC 27209 Lambert with Willoughby Associates (consultant) that f J forwarded to you. 1 Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000255 Grede I1, LLC Montgomery County Dear Mr. xxz: 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 collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during } "measurable storm events" as defined in Part,[[, Section B. This term is different l 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. Changes have been made to three monitoring parameters, including changes to two benchmarks. Stormwater benchmarks are not permit limits, but rather guidelines for implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark i exceedance is not a permit violation; however, the permittee must respond to exceedances as directed in the Tiers. r Non -polar Oil & Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces Oil & Grease to better represent potential discharges at a facility storing only petroleum -based fuel oils (as opposed to non -petroleum -based fuel oils). The benchmark for Non -polar Oil & Grease using this method is 15 mglL. Monitoring for Copper, Zinc, and Total KJeldahl Nitrogen have been removed from your permit because these constituents are not present in ' significant amounts in this facility's industrial processW SwearNmth C-1i..I Enri,mmat.1Q..1i1y1E.agy, M6i 1aid1.—dRr 1612 M.H $arse Cara I S 12 Nuth S.1i h-y Snot I R.IeiO. NC 276".1612 919 707 9200 T Commented VV3I: Will confirm this is the case whim I get in touch with the facility. Not atm why TKN was included k1 the first place. Also aced to discuss with Bethany since t sec in old staff report that copper and zinc might be required by the "B.PA Sector -Specific permit"? Commented [1.144143I: I agree with removal of these parameters IF they arc not part of their industrial prpcessea and we don't have to include them pei• some EPA' ` requirement. .... . • The benchmarks for the following parameters have been revised to reflect current water quality standards: o Cadmium benchmark is increased from .001 mg/L to .003 mg/L; o Lead benchmark is increased from .03 mg/L to .075 mg/L; and o Nickel benchmark is increased from .26 mg/L to .335 mg/L. • Vehicle maintenance (Tables 5,6) monitoring parameters have been revised as follows: o Non -Polar Oil & Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. 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. o pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated with vehicle maintenance activities. 4. Tiered responses have been added to this permit. 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 in accordance with Part 11, Section B of this permit. 5. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part 11, Section E to comply with federal regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring reports. This section of the permit will l?e o'=4,effective December 2l, 2016. 6. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal law in Part 111, Section A, 2(b) and (g). 7. Rep"entatiVcF0ut&HTStatnU as not been grartted for this facility As such, you_ must perform the required analytical monitoring at all Stormwater Discharge Outfalls (SDO). Previous inspections by DEQ staff indicated that SDO #2 was not being monitored and that SDO #3 (alleyway) was being used to represent SDO#2. Unless DEQ staff grants approval of Representative Outfall Status, you must monitor all SDOs, including SDO#2. In addition, note that qualitative monitoring shall continue to be required at all SDOs, even if Representative Outfall Status is granted in the future. 8. The following laboratory data reporting issues must be addressed: • Lab reports submitted to DEQ have erroneously labeled SDO#3 (alleyway) as SDO#2. Please refer to the facility site map for proper identification of each SDO.

Please i ensure that lab results for all parameters are reported in the units specified in the permit (mg/L). • For cadmium, the reported minimum detection limit appears to be above the benchmark. Please ensure that the laboratory's minimum detection limit for cadmium and all other parameters are at or below the benchmarks specified in the permit. i I Please review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days iulie.ventitloro@ncdenr.gov r Bailed to my att attention at Ny EQ, Land Quality S ction �_ - Commented�[LMS ge to'pEMU' ar'Swrcnwaier followingY P Y _ 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612.

We're finally starting to make some headway on getting through our backlog of expired permits, and I'm working on yours now. In order to move forward, I need some information from you: 1. Our database shows Richard Cabadas as the person primarily responsible for the permit. I've been told he no longer works at this facility. Would you please complete our "Permit owner affiliation designation form" with the current information so that we can update our database? Attached is the signed Permit Affiliation Designation Form 2. Could you please send me the past 5 years of monitoring data from all your stormwater discharge outfalls? QL See attachments Awe 3.

All observations have been made at the discharge from the storm drain collection pipe emptying into an unnamed tributary of Lily Creek. Color: The color has been described by observer as "medium black". This could mean the discharge appears to be a dark gray in color. Odor: There has been no noticeable odor during any visual checks. Clarity: The discharge has been cloudy during most of the observations. On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being clear and 10 being cloudy, the observations have been 5-7. Solids: The discharge has been medium to high in solid content. On a scale of 1-10 with 1 having no solids and 10 being extremely muddy, it has had a rating of 6-7. Foam: There has been no foam observed during the observation period, Oil Sheen: There has been no oil sheen observed during the observation period. Outfall Staining: Any dark coloration that has been observed during this period has been due to non -hazardous foundry sand present in discharge water. *This outfall has no discharge during dry weather.

Potential Pollutant Sources Site map is attached indicating the drainage of the storm water outfall, locations of exposed materials, fuel tanks, oil storage area, loading and unloading areas, and chemical usage and storage areas. There have been no significant spills or leaks to note on the map. Materials exposed to precipitation: • Temporary storage of spent foundry sand, slag, and other nonhazardous solid wastes in one twenty yard open -top container behind foundry near Shipping (1) • Baghouse dust from Grinding Room & foundry baghouses (1) • Empty drums stored next to oil storage shed (2) • Used oil and oily sand in drums outside of covered storage area on south end of plant property (2) • Former landfill site, now closed in accordance with NCDEHNR regulations, Requiring post -closure maintenance to prevent sediment runoff (2) (1) Primary potential pollutant is suspended solids (2) Primary potential pollutant is oil or organic chemicals Materials not exposed to precipitation that could contribute to pollutant discharges from mishandling or misuse: • Coremaking chemicals (resins & catalysts) in Core Room (3) • Methyl formate located in room adjoining Core Room (3) • Diesel fuel tank, 500 gallon capacity, located at oil storage area (3) • Gasoline tank, 500 gallon capacity, located at oil storage area (3) • Oils at oil storage shed — motor oil, gear oil, and hydraulic fluids (3) • Used oils in drums in diked storage shed on south end of property (3) • Pattern spray material (4) • Scrap iron and steel (4) (3) Moderate to slight risk of pollutant release (4) Very slight risk of pollutant release Activities with potential for pollutant release: Forklift usage (5) Emptying baghouses (6) Handling drums of chemicals (5) Transporting used oils to storage shed (5) Air compressor blowdown from filter, receiver, and dryer (5) Unloading drums at receiving dock (5) Roof and roof exhausters (6) Pallets with material spilled on them (5) Cooling tower discharge (7) (5) Oils or organic compounds (6) Particulate matter could contribute to suspended solids released (7) Non contact cooling water discharge not covered by this permit Likelihood of contaminant releases: • The diesel and gasoline fuel tanks pose a slight risk from a leaking tank, damage to the tanks from forklifts, overfilling of trucks during fueling, and spills during filling the tanks themselves. The fuel could reach the storm water runoff ditch if the spill or leak occurs outside the diked area. • Oil stored under the shed could be spilled into the runoff ditch from overfilling containers, forklift damage, and mishandling of the drums. This is only a slight risk due to the dike. • The open -top bins used to collect nonhazardous solid wastes and the dust removed from the baghouses pose a risk of contributing to the suspended solids levels in the runoff. This is a slight risk due to the discharge point and is inert. • Unloading chemicals from trucks poses a slight risk from damaging a drum or bulk tank of material with a forklift or from dropping the container. • The air compressor blowdown contains small amounts of oil that could reach the runoff ditch and cause an oil sheen on water leaving the property. This is a very slight risk. • There are other slight risks of suspended solids releases including Roof exhausters and blowing sand into the storage silo. • The used oil kept in drums exposed to the weather are moderate risks for pollutant discharges due to overfilling, damage, or improperly sealing the drums. III. Existing management measures to prevent pollutant releases • Shed over diked oil and fuel storage area • Landfill has an erosion control basin with spillway at the discharge point • Coremaking chemicals (resins and methyl formate) stored in concrete block building • . Forklift maintenance performed indoors • Raw materials stored under a roof • Solid wastes placed directly into roll -off bins rather than a pile • PM's performed on baghouses to reduce solids emissions • Drums of in use chemicals stored on secondary containment pallets Best management practices: A. Good housekeeping • Scheduled plant cleanup • Drums of oil and fuel tanks stored under a diked shed • Coremaking chemicals stored inside a building • Roll off bins are used rather than waste piles • Bulk bags are used to collect dust at the baghouses • Scrap iron and steel kept under roof • Housekeeping brought up as a topic at employee meetings • Posters and signs around the plant stress good housekeeping B. Preventive maintenance • There are scheduled inspections of forklifts for leaks • There are scheduled baghouse inspections • The air compressors receive scheduled maintenance checks to reduce the chances of oil leaks C. Inspections • Baghouse hoopers and bulk bags are inspected to prevent overfilling • The oil storage area is checked to make sure no drums or tanks are leaking, lids are in place, and valves are closed • PCB capacitors are checked for swelling and leakage on a scheduled basis D. Spill prevention response • A spill kit is kept on site • Maintenance and operations personnel will respond to all spills E. Sediment and erosion control • Grass has been seeded on the landfill area, and a small erosion basin is located at the discharge point F. Management of runoff • As much of the runoff as possible is routed to the grass covered ditch leaving the property G. Additional BMPN IV. Employee training topics • Hazard Communication Standard (Right -to -know law) • Prooper handling and use of chemicals • Proper disposal methods and locations of disposal staging areas • Proper handling of drums — full and empty • When and how to use the spill kit • Where spill potential exists • Basic water pollution laws • Drum and container labeling V. Employee training • The Maintenance Manger has received instructions in the proper sampling locations, sample collection procedures, pH meter operation, and necessary recordkeeping. Recordkeeping includes test results, DMR's, sample container labeling, chain -of -custody forms, and rainfall event information. • All employees have received Hazardous Communication Standard training. This is recorded in their personnel files. • Employee are instructed in their individual departments of the proper handling methods, precautions, and container labeling for the materials used in their departments. • All employees are instructed to inform their supervisors, or other plant management personnel, of any spill, leaking container, or other potential source of contaminant release.

All observations have been made at the discharge from the storm drain collection pipe emptying into an unnamed tributary of Lily Creek. Color: The color has been described by observer as "medium black". This could mean the discharge appears to be a dark gray in color. Odor: There has been no noticeable odor during any visual checks. Clarity: The discharge has been cloudy during most of the observations. On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being clear and 10 being cloudy, the observations have been 6-7. Solids: The discharge has been medium to high in solid content. On a scale of 1-10 with 1 having no solids and 10 being extremely muddy, it has had a rating of 6-7. Foam: There has been no foam observed during the observation period. Oil Sheen: There has been no oil sheen observed during the observation period. Outfall Staining: Any dark coloration that has been observed during this period has been due to non -hazardous foundry sand present in discharge water. "This outfali has no discharge during dry weather. Best Management Practices Summary 1. A covered, concrete dike area is used to store used oil and.other non -hazardous material in drums awaiting disposal., 2. In use drums and tanks are stored on secondary containment pallets. 3. All scrap iron and steel is stored inside to keep dry and prevent runoff during rainfall events, 4. Housekeeping is trained annually and monthly and stressed in daily shift meetings. 5. PM's are in place to ensure collectors and bag houses are inspected to prevent spillage. 6. Spill kits are kept on site and inspected on a regular basis. 7. Sediment collection bags have been added to discharge point. a Significant Qanges in Industrial A ivities We added a roof over the once exposed ally way which may have reduced certain discharge during rainfall events. this roof was added in 2010.

Potential Pollutant Sources Site map is attached indicating the drainage of the storm water outfall, locations of exposed materials, fuel tanks, oil storage area, loading and unloading areas, and chemical usage and storage areas. There have been no significant spills or leaks to note on the map. Materials exposed to precipitation: • Temporary storage of spent foundry sand, slag, and other nonhazardous solid wastes in one twenty yard open -top container behind foundry near Shipping (1) • Baghouse dust from Grinding Room & foundry baghouses (1) • Empty drums stored next to oil storage shed (2) • Used oil and oily sand in drums outside of covered storage area on south end of plant property (2) • Former landfill site, now closed in accordance with NCDEHNR regulations, Requiring post -closure maintenance to prevent sediment runoff (2) (1) Primary potential pollutant is suspended solids (2) Primary potential pollutant is oil or organic chemicals Materials not exposed to precipitation that could contribute to pollutant discharges from mishandling or misuse: • Coremaking chemicals (resins & catalysts) in Core Room (3) • Methyl formate located in room adjoining Core Room (3) • Diesel fuel tank, 500 gallon capacity, located at oil storage area (3) • Gasoline tank, 500 gallon capacity, located at oil storage area (3) • Oils at oil storage shed — motor oil, gear oil, and hydraulic fluids (3) • Used oils in drums in diked storage shed on south end of property (3) • Pattern spray material (4) • Scrap iron and steel (4) (3) Moderate to slight risk of pollutant release (4) Very slight risk of pollutant release Activities with potential for pollutant release: Forklift usage (5) Emptying baghouses (6) Handling drums of chemicals (5) Transporting used oils to storage shed (5) Air compressor blowdown from filter, receiver, and dryer (5) Unloading drums at receiving dock (5) Roof and roof exhausters (6) Pallets with material spilled on them (5) Cooling tower discharge (7) (5) Oils or organic compounds (6) Particulate matter could contribute to suspended solids released (7) Non contact cooling water discharge not covered by -this permit Likelihood of contaminant releases: • The diesel and gasoline fuel tanks pose a slight risk from a leaking tank, damage to the tanks from forklifts, overfilling of trucks during fueling, and spills during filling the tanks themselves. The fuel could reach the storm water runoff ditch if the spill or leak occurs outside the diked area. • Oil stored under the shed could be spilled into the runoff ditch from overfilling containers, forklift damage, and mishandling of the drums. This is only a slight risk due to the dike. • The open -top bins used to collect nonhazardous solid wastes and the dust removed from the baghouses pose a risk of contributing to the suspended solids levels in the runoff. This is a slight risk due to the discharge point and is inert. • Unloading chemicals from trucks poses a slight risk from damaging. a drum or bulk tank of material with a forklift or from dropping the container. . • The air compressor blowdown contains small amounts of oil that could reach the runoff ditch and cause an oil sheen on water leaving the property. This is a very slight risk. • There are other slight risks of suspended solids releases including Roof exhausters and blowing sand into the storage silo. • The used oil kept in drums exposed to the weather are moderate risks for pollutant discharges due to overfilling, damage, or improperly sealing the drums. III.Existing management measures to prevent pollutant releases • Shed over diked oil and fuel storage area • Landfill has an erosion control basin with spillway at the discharge point • Coremaking chemicals (resins and methyl formate) stored in concrete block building • , Forklift maintenance performed indoors • Raw materials stored under a roof « Solid wastes placed directly into roll -off bins rather than a pile • PM's performed on baghouses to reduce solids emissions • Drums of in use chemicals stored on secondary containment pallets Best management practices: A. Good housekeeping • Scheduled plant cleanup • Drums of oil and fuel tanks stored under a diked shed • Coremaking chemicals stored inside a building • Roll off bins are used rather than waste piles • Bulk bags are used to collect dust at the baghouses • Scrap iron and steel kept under roof • Housekeeping brought up as a topic at employee meetings • Posters and signs around the plant stress good housekeeping B. Preventive maintenance • There are scheduled inspections of forklifts for leaks • There are scheduled baghouse inspections • The air compressors receive scheduled maintenance checks to reduce the chances of oil leaks C. Inspections • Baghouse hoopers and bulk bags are inspected to prevent overfilling • The oil storage area is checked to make sure no drums or tanks are leaking, lids are in'place, and valves are closed • PCB capacitors are checked for swelling and leakage on a scheduled basis D. Spill prevention response • A spill kit is kept on site • Maintenance and operations personnel will respond to all spills E. Sediment and erosion control • Grass has been seeded on the landfill area, and a small erosion basin is located at the discharge point F. Management of runoff • As much of the runoff as possible is routed to the grass covered ditch leaving the property G. Additional BMP's IV. Employee training topics • Hazard Communication Standard (Right -to -know law) • Prooper handling and use of chemicals • Proper disposal methods and locations of disposal staging areas • Proper handling of drums — full and empty • When and how to use the spill kit. • Where spill potential exists • Basic water pollution laws •. Drum and container Iabeling V. Employee training • The Maintenance Manger has received instructions in the proper sampling locations, sample collection procedures, pH meter operation, and necessary recordkeeping. Recordkeeping includes test results, DMWs, sample container labeling, chain -of -custody forms, and rainfall event information. • All employees have received Hazardous Communication Standard training. This is recorded in their personnel files. • Employee are instructed in their individual departments of the proper handling methods, precautions, and container labeling for the materials used in their departments. • All employees are instructed to inform their supervisors, or other plant management personnel, of any spill, leaking container, or other potential source of contaminant release.

This required annual monitoring for TSS, COD, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Ni, TKN, phenols, and used cutoff concentrations. Vehicle maintenance monitoring was required for pH, oil and grease, Pb, TSS, and detergents containing methylene blue active substances (MBAS). • 1 March 2000: Re -issued requiring seven samples per cycle without cutoff concentrations. Vehicle maintenance monitoring was required, but no MBAS or Pb. • 3 December 2002: Corrected the River Basin from Yadkin -Pee Dee to Cape Fear. The receiving stream classification was also corrected at this time (revised from C to WS-111). There is a Lick Creek in the Yadkin River Basin that has a C classification, which may have been the source of the original error. • 6 August 2004: Renewal submitted. Fi ure 1: Ma of Facility _ !

A site visit may be pertinent for this facility if one has not already been conducted recently. Specifically, the analytical monitoring data shows excursions beyond the current benchmark values and is incomplete, the permittee needs guidance on determining the locations of outfalls and needs determination of representative outfall status, and the qualitative data is also of concern. Additionally, the application references solid waste disposal dumpsters, which may contain oily metal scraps that may contaminate the stormwater. The applicant -also notes that there is HAZMAT onsite., The site plan shows that there is an illicit connection "to be removed" at CB#32, that CB#12 is "to be plugged", and that "quench water was to be routed to SS" at CB#41. Were these actions taken? If not, do they need to be? CB#41 also appears to have a source inside a building that discharges to a stormwater ditch, but this is not specified as an outfall. There are used sand piles onsite. These piles may contribute to TSS, and they may also have other contaminants. Do they? 2. Impairment: Lick Creek, is classified as WS-III. Lick Creek is not classified as impaired on the 303(d) list. However, it drains to Cotton Creek, which is impaired for biological integrity. The Basinwide Plan cites the Star WWTP as the source of the standard violations, not this facility. 3. Industrial Changes Since the Previous Permit: There have been no significant industrial changes to the facility since the previous permit. NCS000255 Analytical Monitoring Data: As shown in Table 1, the permittee failed to submit all of the required analytical data. COD, copper, zinc, and TSS are consistently high. Phenols, cadmium, lead, nickel, and total kjeldahl nitrogen have been below the current benchmark for the samples provided. The permittee did not record rainfall depth, rainfall duration, or flow volume data for the previous cycle. The permittee also failed to sample both outfalIs throughout the previous permitting cycle.

Oil and grease has been added because this facility likely uses oils as coolants and/or lubricants in the machining process. 3. Due to a potential lag time between the expiration of this permit and its renewal, the reviewer has 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 previous cycle. This will provide testing if there is a lag in future timeframes. 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.) ' 7. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in this permit. This is not a change from their previous permit. Qualitative monitoring does not have to be performed during a representative storm event. 8. The analytical monitoring required by the EPA Sector -Specific permit; copper, zinc, and total suspended solids, were already included in the previous permit and are also included for the upcoming permit cycle. Permit Changes: Other Proposed Changes: 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. The permittee is encouraged to use form SWU-242-020705 for qualitative monitoring reporting and SWU-246-051100 for analytical monitoring required. The permittee is required to report all of the information on these forms (or subsequent forms as amended). 0 4. 1 will inform the permittee in the cover letter of the permit that the minimum detection limits for all analytical reporting requirements should be below the benchmarks specified in the permit. 5. The permittee states in their application that they have determined that SDO 002 can be represented by SCO 001. 1 will point out to the permittee that they do not have the authority to make that determination. The applicant has applied for representative outfall status for the upcoming cycle. If there is a site visit, DWQ should determine whether or not to grant this status. The permittee reports that SDO 002 drains less than 2% of the facility. However, this area is of considerable size (10,282 ftZ) and is also 90% impervious. We should consider "outfalls" as discharge points from the facility. These are areas where flow leaves the property via pipes, trenches, gullies, swales, ditches, etc. Each of these discharge points must be sampled unless DWQ grants representative outfall status. Also note on the facility map that there may be more outfalls than just 001 and 002. For instance, does CB#42 leave the site? Others? 6. 1 will point out to the permittee that they are to report their data in the units specified in the permit (mg/4 NCS000255 Recommendations: Based on the documents reviewed, the application information first submitted on duly 30, 2004 is sufficient to issue an Individual Stormwater Permit.

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: • pH and oil and grease have been added for analytical monitoring. •. 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). • . You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5. • 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). The minimum detection limits for each analytical parameter should be low enough to detect the benchmark levels. • 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. PIease 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 II, 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.

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).''"s,, Table 4.

SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS. Facilities which have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year shall perform Part 1I Page 6 of 7 Permit No. NCS000255 analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 5. This monitoring shall be performed at all outfalls which discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) which discharges stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas. The permittee shall complete the minimum ten analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in Table 2 (Section. B). Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 6. The benchmark values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP).

This required annual monitoring for TSS, COD, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Ni, TKN, phenols, and used cutoff concentrations. Vehicle maintenance monitoring . was required for pH, oil and grease, Pb, TSS, and detergents containing methylene blue active substances (MBAS). • 1 March 2000: Re -issued requiring seven samples per cycle without cutoff concentrations. Vehicle maintenance monitoring was required, but no MBAS or Pb. • 3 December 2002: Corrected the River Basin from Yadkin -Pee Dee to Cape Fear. The receiving stream classification was also corrected at this time (revised from C to WS-III). There is a Lick Creek in the Yadkin River Basin that has a C classification, which may have been the source of the original error. • G August 2004: Renewal submitted.

A site visit may be pertinent for this facility if one has not already been conducted recently, Specifically, the analytical monitoring data shows excursions beyond the current benchmark values and is incomplete, the permittee needs guidance on determining the locations of outfalls and needs determination of representative outfall status, and the qualitative data is also of concern. Additionally, the application references solid waste disposal dumpsters, which may contain oily metal scraps that may contaminate the stormwater. The applicant also notes that there is HAZMAT onsite. The site plan shows that there is an illicit connection "to be removed" at CB#32, that CB#12 is "to be plugged", and that "quench water was to be routed to SS" at CB#41. Were these actions taken? If not, do they need to be? CB#41 also appears to have a source inside a building that discharges to a stormwater ditch, but this is not specified as an outfall. There are used sand piles onsite. These piles may contribute to TSS, and they may also have other contaminants. Do they? 2. Impairment; Lick Creek, is classified as WS-I1I, Lick Creek is not classified as impaired on the 303(d) list. However, it drains to Cotton Creek, which is impaired for biological integrity. The Basinwide Plan cites the Star WWTP as the source of the standard violations, not this facility. 3. Industrial Changes Since the Previous Permit: There have been no significant industrial changes to the facility since the previous permit. 21 as u sc,�/ d,.- 1 M NCS000255 .Analytical Monitoring Data: As shown in Table 1, the permittee failed to submit all of the required analytical data. COD, copper, zinc, and TSS are consistently high. Phenols, cadmium, lead, nickel, and total kjeldahl nitrogen have been below the current benchmark for the samples provided. The permittee did not record rainfall depth, rainfall duration, or flow volume data for the previous cycle. The permittee also failed to sample both outfalls throughout the previous permitting cycle.

Oil and grease has been added because this facility likely uses oils as coolants and/or lubricants in the machining process. 3. Due to a potential lag time between the expiration of This permit and its renewal, the reviewer has 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 previous cycle. This will provide testing if there is a lag in future timeframes. 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.) 7. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical'monitoring samples during representative storm events as defined in this permit. This is not a change from their previous permit. Qualitative monitoring does not have to be performed during a representative storm event. 8. The analytical monitoring required by the EPA Sector -Specific permit; copper, zinc, and total suspended solids, were already included in the previous permit and are also included for the upcoming permit cycle. Permit Changes: Other Proposed Changes: I. Part 1I 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. The permittee is encouraged to use form SWU-242-020705 for qualitative monitoring reporting and SWU-246-051100 for analytical monitoring required. The permittee is required to report all of the information on these forms (or subsequent forms as amended). 4. I will inform the permittee in the cover letter of the permit that the minimum detection limits for all analytical reporting requirements should be below the benchmarks specified in the permit. 5. The permittee states in their application that they have determined that SDO 002 can be represented by SCO 001. I will point out to the permittee that they do not have the authority to make that determination. The applicant has applied for representative outfall status for the upcoming cycle. If there is a site visit, DWQ should determine whether or not to grant this status. The permittee reports that SDO 002 drains less than 2% of the facility. However, this area is of considerable size (10,282 ftZ) and is also 90% impervious. We should consider "outfalls" as discharge points from the facility. These are areas where flow leaves the property via pipes, trenches, gullies, swales, ditches, etc. Each of these discharge points must -be sampled unless DWQ grants representative outfall status.

Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified below. Prevention-Man1—Stormwater Pollution The Permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part H, Standard Conditions, Section E.8. of this permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following items: a. Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following: (1) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge. (2) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. (3) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge. (4) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. (5) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part H, Standard Conditions, Section B.9. Page 4 Permit No. NCS000255 b. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following: (1) A study addressing the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practicable the permittee shall cover all storage areas, material handling operations, manufacturing or fueling operations to prevent materials exposure to stormwater. In areas where elimination of exposure is not practicable, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination. (2) A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous materials to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be secured with a locking mechanism] and any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, and visible sheens, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five years. (3) A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to; oil and grease separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. (4) Inspection schedules of stormwater conveyances and controls and measures to be taken to limit or prevent erosion associated with the stormwater systems. C. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan shall incorporate a risk assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the plan shall be identified in the plan. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. d.

Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. e. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's Page 5 Permit No. NCS000255 operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified in the Plan. f. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented and position(s) assignments provided. g. Plan Ammendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan 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 Plan to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part II, Standard Conditions, Section B, #9) to the Director that the changes have been made. h. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur at a minimum on a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once during the spring (April - June). The inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities performed shall be documented, recording date and time of inspection, individual(s) making the inspection and a narrative description of the facility's stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these inspections shall be incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Visual monitoring as required in I.A.2.g.(3) shall be performed in addition to facility inspections. i. Implementation. implementation of the -plan shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections and maintenance activities and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of activities 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 years and made available to the Director or his authorized representative immediately upon request. 2.—Minimum Monitoring and Reporting Requirements Minimum monitoring and reporting requirements are as follows unless otherwise approved in writing by the Director of the Division of Environmental Management. a. If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status. If it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced number of outfalis. b. Visual monitoring for color, odor, solids, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow shall be performed at all stormwater discharge outfall locations. All visual monitoring shall be documented and records maintained with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. The initial visual monitoring event shall be performed simultaneously Page 6 Permit No. NCS000255 with the first analytical monitoring event and documentation of only this initial visual monitoring event shall be submitted along with the required analytical monitoring submittal. C. For purposes of the stormwater sampling required in this permit, all samples shall be collected from a discharge resulting from a representative storm event (See Part II, Standard Conditions, Section A). Failure to monitor storm events in accordance with the specified frequency shall constitute a violation of this permit. If the stormwater runoff is controlled by a detention pond, the following sampling requirements shall apply: (1) If the detention pond detains the runoff generated by one inch of rainfall for 24 hours, visual observations for color, foam, outfali staining, visible sheens, and dry weather flow are required, but analytical sampling shall not be required. (2) If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event exceeding a 25- year, 24-hour storm (See Part II, Standard Conditions, Section A), the pond shall be considered a non -discharging ston-nwater control system and not subject to NPDES requirements, unless the discharge causes a violation of water quality standards. d. Samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this permit shall be submitted on forms provided by the Director no later than January 31 for the previous year in which sampling was required to be performed. e. Analytical results from sampling during the final year of the permit term shall be submitted with the permit renewal application. f. This permit regulates stormwater discharges. Non-stormwater discharges which shall be allowed in the stormwater conveyance system are: (1) All other discharges that are authorized by a non-stormwater NPDES permit. (2) Uncontaminated groundwater, foundation drains, air -conditioner condensate without added chemicals, springs, discharges of uncontaminated potable water, waterline and fire hydrant flushings, water from footing drains, flows from riparian habitats and wetlands. (3) Discharges resulting from fire -fighting. If the storm event monitored and reported in accordance with this permit coincides with a non-stormwater discharge, the permittee shall separately monitor and report all parameters as required under the non-stormwater discharge permit and provide this information with the stormwater discharge monitoring report Page 7 Permit No. NCS000255 g. Specific Stormwater Monitoring Requirements The specific stormwater monitoring requirements includes both analytical and visual monitoring of stormwater samples.

Total flow shall be either; (a) measured continuously, (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining to the outfall, the amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c) estimated by the measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event. Page 8 Permit No. NCS000255 (2) Cut-off Concentrations For each parameter, the arithmetic mean of all analytical sampling results collected during the term of the permit shall be calculated for each individual outfall and compared to the cut-off concentrations listed below. If the arithmetic mean meets the specified cut-off concentration condition for a given parameter, then the facility is not required to continue annual analytical monitoring for that parameter at that outfall unless a significant change in facility operations or configuration occurs. If a cut-off concentration results in discontinued analytical monitoring at an individual discharge outfall, the permittee is required to maintain facility operations that ensure the continuation of stormwater runoff quality. The permittee m= perform analytical sampling during the first and last year of the permit term regardless of cut-off concentration conditions. Analytical results from sampling during the final year of the permit term must be submitted with the permit renewal application.

No analytical testing or sampling is required. 3 Sample Location: Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) Page 10 Permit No. NCS000255 (4) Analytical Monitoring Requirements for Vehicle Maintenance Activities 1 Stormwater Discharge Characteristics Units Measurement 2 Sample L, Sample Location3 H standard annually Grab SDO Oil and Grease m annually Grab SDO New Motor Oil Usagegallons/month annuall Estimate SDO Total Flow4 MG annually Grab SDO Lead, Total Recoverable5 UgA annually Grab SDO Total Suspended Solids m annually Grab SDO Deter ents (MBAS)6 mgn annually Grab SDO Footnotes: . 1 Stormwater discharges from any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per. month when averaged over the calendar year shall be monitored by the permittee as specified above. 2 Measurement Frequency: Once per year with samples taken within the sampling window of April through November. 3 Sample Location: Samples to be taken at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur. 4 Total flow shall be; (a) measured continuously, (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining to the outfall, the amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c) estimated by the measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event. Total Precipitation and duration of the rainfall event measured shall result from the sampled representative storm event. 5 Total recoverable lead monitoring is required only at facilities where fueling occurs. 6 Detergent monitoring is required only at facilities which conduct vehicle cleaning operations. Page 11 Permit No. NCS000255 (5) Cut-off Concentrations for Vehicle Maintenance Activities The arithmetic mean of all analytical sampling results collected during the term of the permit shall be calculated for each parameter and compared to the cut-off concentrations listed below. If the arithmetic mean meets the specified cut-off concentration condition for a given parameter, then the facility is not required to continue annual analytical monitoring for that parameter during the term of the permit unless a significant change in facility operations or configuration occurs. If a cut-off concentration results in discontinued analytical monitoring, the permittee is required to maintain facility operations that ensure the continuation of stormwater runoff quality. The permittee Iri= perform analytical sampling during the fast and last year of the permit term regardless of cut-off concentration conditions. Analytical results from sampling during the final year of the permit term must be submitted with the permit renewal application. w Cut-off_Concentration H 1 within ran a b.0 - 9.0 Oil and Grease < 30 m Lead, Total Recoverable < 0.033 m Total Suspended Solids < 100 m Detergents (MBAS) < 0.50 m Footnotes: l pli cannot be averaged due to the nature of the logarithmic pH scale.
