ECTION A. FINAL LIMITATIONS AND CONTROLS FOR STORMWATER DISCHARGE
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 below.
1. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
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 I1, Standard
Conditions, Section E.B. 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.

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 I1I 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 stonnwater
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 . Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance
program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of inspections and
maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment and systems.
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 tic facility's
Page 5

Permit No. NCS000020
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or
team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified in the Plan.
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
11, 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

authorized representative immediately upon request.
2. Minimum Monitoring and_ Re orting Requirements
Minimum monitoring and reporting requirements are as follows unless otherwise approved in
writing by the Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
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 outfalls.
b. Visual monitoring for color, odor, solids, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry
weathei- 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 shaii be performed simuitaneousiy
Pa-e 6

Permit No. NCS000020
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 11,
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 runoffis
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, outfall 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 11, Standard Conditions, Section A), the pond shall
be considered a non -discharging stormwater 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.
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.

Bvr+assin2 of Stormwater Control Facilities
Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of stormwater from any portion of a
stormwater control facility including the collection system, which is not a
designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property,
damage to the control facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or
substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be
expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does
not mean economic loss caused by delays in production.
b. Bypass Not Exceeding Limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause limitations to be
exceeded, but only,if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient
operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d.
of this section.
c. Notice
(1} Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a
bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the
date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and

hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a
permittee for bypass, unless:
(1) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe
property damage;
(2) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of
auxiliary control facilities, retention of stormwater or maintenance during
normal periods of equipment downtime . This condition is
not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in the
exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which
occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive
maintenance; and
(3) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this
section.
The Director may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse
effects, if the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above
in Paragraph d. of this section.
4. LT;sets
Definition
"Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and
temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations
because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does
not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly
designed treatment or control facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities,
lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an Upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance
with technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c.
of this condition are met No determination made during administrative review of
claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for
noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
C. Conditions Necessary for a Demonstration of Upset
A permirw who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall
demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other
relevant evidence that .
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the
