Kerbs June 17, 2011 NCDENR — Division of Water Quality 610 East Center Avenue, Suite 301 Mooresville, NC 28115 Subject: Stormwater Permit NCG 1 10124 Dear Mr. Kerbs: This letter is in response to your letter dated May 31, 2011 regarding NOV-2011-PC-0332. The City of Mount Holly hired a private contractor (Chris Heyward, State Utility Contractors -Monroe NC) to install a bar screen at the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) located on Broome Street, On May 2"d, while under construction, their Bobcat tractor had a hydraulic line fail. Their mechanic drove the Bobcat across the road (see attached map) to fix the hydraulic line and in doing so, a small amount of hydraulic fluid deposited on the road. The estimated amount is < 100 milliliters. We immediately put sand down to absorb what was on the road. This sand application was cleaned up and disposed of properly. And then more sand was placed on the affected area. The sand absorbed most of the fluid but left a stain on the road. A rain event of 0.23 inches occurred on May 3rd A minimal amount of residual hydraulic fluid entered the catch basin closest to the initial spill. On May 171h, we performed our SDO Report (see attached). Outfall # 2 is located approximately 260 feet from the catch basin near the spill. No oil sheen was denoted at the outfall. At our May 24"' inspection, Brad Anthony (Mount Holly's WWTP ORC) described our cleanup procedure to John Lesley (NCDENR). John inspected the catch basin closest to the initial spill location. The drainage structure had dirt/debris with some visual oil sheen. Following the inspection WWTP staff cleaned out all dirt/debris in all the catch basins. For additional information, attached are copies of our Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan with the most recent staff training sheet and our June 6'h Facility Inspection report. We hope this report answers your questions. Please contact me at 704-951-3020 if you need any additional information.

Therefore, your recommendation now to issue the permit serves as your acknowledgement that (1) the facility is located in your region, (2) that there are no current complaints outstanding about the facility, and (3) that the facility may ultimately be inspected by the regional staff. I've also attached a scanned copy of the NOI and a location map for your review. COC # Facility Location City/County NCG110124 Mt. Holly WWTP Broom Street Mt.
