Re: Stormwater NPDES Permit Alternative Source Demonstration for Fecal.Coliform at SDO-1
Cleveland County Landfill
Permit No. NCG120072
Permit Period Benchmark Exceeded: Year 4 Period 2
Event Date: December 1, 2016
Dear Mr. Khan:
The analytical results of a stormwater sample S130-1 collected on December 1, 2016 indicated a concentration of
fecal coliform (FC) (2,700 colonies per 100 ml) which is above the benchmark outlined in NCG120000 (1,000
colonies per 100 ml) (see attached SWU-248 form). The benchmark exceedance is likely not attributed to leachate
but rather originating from wildlife excrement that has been consistently observed in the SDO-I drainage area.
Voluntary supplemental (not required for compliance purposes) raw leachate samples previously collected from the
landfill leachate collection system has not contained detectable levels (<10 CFU/100 ml) of FC. Since previous
analytical results indicate FC was not detected in raw leachate and wildlife excrement has been observed throughout
the drainage area it is reasonable to assume the source of FC as detected in SDO-1 is not attributed to landfill
activities. Concentrations of FC in raw leachate samples at several other facilities have also been consistently
lower in relation to stormwater outfall samples and the benchmark. NCDEQ performed a field inspection at this
facility during this monitoring period.
A full Tier One response for this FC exceedance at SDO-1 can/will not be prepared at this time since the source of
FC as identified in SDO-1 is likely not attributed to landfill activities and controls/improvements to mitigate FC
levels at a landfill are realistically impractical. The facility plans to continue following permit conditions including
semi-annual analytical/qualitative monitoring. In the future additional raw leachate samples may also be tested for
stormwater sample comparison purposes. If the NCDEQ does not accept this alternative source demonstration in
lieu of a Tier One response please provide us a list of acceptable FC control measures or case studies which have
been proven effective in a landfill setting. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this project please
contact me by phone at [phone] or by email at [e-mail].

Qualitative monitoring requirements vary. Most permits require qualitative monitoring to be
performed during a "representative storm event" or during a "measureable storm event." However,
some permits do not have this requirement. Please refer to these definitions, if applicable.
A "representative storm event" is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours (3 days) in which no storm event measuring greater than
0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation.
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 DWQ Regional Office.

Dear Mr. Head:
se-1-Y
TRACY DAVIS
Dire&or
We are in receipt of the Municipal Engineering Services monitoring report requesting relief from
monthly monitoring for fecal coliform. The facility was inspected on September 21, 2016 and based on
that inspection MRO DEQ staff concurs that fecal coliform concentrations above the NCG12000
benchmark are not attributed to landfill activities but to wildlife. .
Based on. the landfill inspection and the Municipal Engineering Services report, the Division is
granting regulatory relief from the Tier responses for fecal coliform. Upon receipt of this letter, the
subject facility may continue the permit specified semi-annual analytical monitoring for the remainder of
the' currentpermit term. Your current permit is set to expire on 10/31/2017. This decision applies only to
the fecal coliform benchmarks. A benchmark exceedance of any other parameter listed in your permit
will trigger the tiered response actions as described in the general permit.
You must notify this. office, in writing, within five business days Iif you become aware of any
other significant source of fecal coliform at yourfacility that has the potential to be exposed to
stormwater. The relief granted in this letter is, contingent upon the current landfill practices at the
Cleveland County Landfill. if landfill practices change aiid fecal coliform become a sign cant
stormwater exposure risk, then this office reserves the right to withdraw this decision and reinstate

Dear Mr. Richardson:
secretary
TRACY DAVIS
Qiredor
We are in receipt of the Municipal Engineering Services monitoring report requesting relief from monthly
monitoring for fecal coliform. The facility was inspected on September 21, 2016 and based on that inspection
MRO DEQ staff concurs that fecal coliform concentrations above the General Permit # NCG120000 benchmark are
not attributed to landfill activities but to wildlife.
Based on the landfill inspection and the Municipal Engineering Services report, the Division is granting
regulatory relief from the Tier responses for fecal coliform. Upon receipt of this letter, the subject facility may
continue the permit specified semi-annual analytical monitoring for the remainder of the current permit term. Your
current permit is set to expire on 10/31/2017. This decision applies only to the fecal coliform benchmarks. A
benchmark exceedance of any other parameter listed in your permit will trigger the tiered response actions as
described in the general permit.
You must notify this office, in writing, within five business days if you become aware of any other
significant source of fecal coliform at your facility that has the potential to be exposed to stormwater. The relief
granted in this letter is contingent upon the current landfill practices at the Cleveland County Landfill. If Iandfill
practices change and fecal coliform become a significant stormwater exposure risk, then this office reserves the
right to withdraw this decision and reinstate the permit specified tiered response or other actions that may be
warranted by the new set of circumstances.

Re: Stormwater NPDES Permit Alternative Source Denionstratian fog ! Coliform at SDO-1
Cleveland County Landfill
Permit No. NCG 120072
Permit Period Benchmark Exceeded: Year 2 Period 2
Dear Mr. Khan:
The analytical results of a stormwater sample collected from SDO-1 on November 18, 2014 indicated fecal coliforn
(FC) (>1,600 colonies per 100 ml) in a concentration above the benchmark outlined in NCG120000 (1,000 colonies
per 100 ml) (see attached SWU-248 form). The benchmark exceedance is likely not attributed to leachate but rather
originating from wildlife excrement that has been consistently observed in the SDO-I drainage area. Voluntary
supplemental (not required for compliance purposes) raw leachate samples previously collected from the landfill
leachate collection system has not contained detectable levels (<10 CFU/100 ml) of FC. Since previous analytical
results indicate FC was not detected in raw leachate and wildlife excrement has been observed throughout the
drainage area it is reasonable to assume the source of FC as detected in SDO-1 is not attributed to landfill activities.
Concentrations of FC in raw leachate samples at several other facilities have also been consistently lower in relation
to stormwater outfall samples and the benchmark.
A full Tier One response for this FC exceedance at S130-1 can/will not be prepared at this time since the source of
FC as identified in SDO-1 is likely not attributed to landfill activities and controls/improvements to mitigate FC
levels at a landfill are realistically impractical- The facility plans to continue following permit conditions including
semi-annual analytical/qualitative monitoring. In the future additional raw leachate samples may also be tested for
stormwater sample comparison purposes. If the NCDENR does not accept this alternative source demonstration in
lieu of a Tier One response please provide us a list of acceptable FC control measures or case studies which have
been proven effective in a landfill setting. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this project please
contact me by phone at [phone] or by email [e-mail].

Re: Stormwater "DES Permit Alternative Source D giion for Fecal Cohyorm at SDO-1
Cleveland County Landfill
Permit No. NCG120072
Permit Period Benchmark Exceeded: Year 2 Period 2
Dear Mr. Khan:
The analytical results of a stormwater sample collected fi-om SDO-1 on November 18, 2014 indicated fecal coliform
(FC) (>1,600 colonies per 100 ml) in a concentration above the benchmark outlined in NCG120000 (1,000 colonies
per 100 ml) (see attached SWU-248 form). The benchmark exceedance is likely not attributed to leachate but rather
originating from wildlife excrement that has been consistently observed in the SDO-1 drainage area. Voluntary
supplemental (not required for compliance purposes) raw leachate samples previously collected from the landfill
leachate collection system has not contained detectable levels (<10 CFU/100 in]) of FC. Since previous analytical
results indicate FC was not detected in raw leachate and wildlife excrement has been observed throughout the
drainage area it is reasonable to assume the source of FC as detected in SDO-1 is not attributed to landfill activities.
Concentrations of FC in raw leachate samples at several other facilities have also been consistently lower in relation
to stormwater outfall samples and the benchmark.
A full Tier One response for this FC exceedance at SDO-1 can/will not be prepared at this time since the source of
FC as identified in SDO-1 is likely not attributed to landfill activities and controls/improvements to mitigate FC
levels at a landfill are realistically impractical. The facility plans to continue following permit conditions including
semi-annual analyticaliqualitative monitoring. In the future additional raw leachate samples may also be tested for
stormwater sample comparison purposes. If the NCDENR does not accept this alternative source demonstration in
lieu of a Tier One response please provide us a list of acceptable FC control measures or case studies which have
been proven effective in a landfill setting. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this project please
contact me by phone at [phone] or by email at jpfohl@a nesco.com.

Dear Sam Lockridge:
It recently came to the Division's attention that the compliance schedule in the NCG120000 permit is
incorrect. The compliance refers to requiring a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan which is not a
requirement of this permit. The corrected compliance language that should go under Part IH, Section A: 1. is
shown below. We have also attached a new page reflecting this change for your permit file (Part III page 1 of
11). This new page should replace the current page in your permit.
SECTION A: COMPLIANCE AND LIABILITY
1. Compliance Schedule
The permittee shall comply with the permit in accordance with the following schedule:
Existing Facilities: Upon the effective date of the Certificate of Coverage the permittee shall comply
with all of the conditions detailed in Part II, Section A: Final Limitations and Controls for Stormwater
Discharges.
New Facilities: Upon the beginning of discharges from the operation of the industrial activity the
permittee shall comply with all conditions detailed in Part H, Section A: Final Limitations and Controls
for Stormwater Discharges.

Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG120000
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued- General Permit. This permit is
reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October
15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage (COC)
• A copy of General Permit NCG120000
• A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Two copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form
• Two copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater, and it specifies your obligations for discharge
controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself
with all the changes in the reissued permit. Your facility has six (6) months from the time of receipt of the
permit to update your current SPPP to reflect all new permit requirements.
The first sample period of your permit begins January 1, 2013. Your facility must sample a "measureable
storm event" beginning during the periods beginning January 1 and July 1 of every year (or, if applicable,
report "No Flow," as outlined in fart III, Section E). Also, please note that Tier 3 Actions in Part II of your
permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four occasions beginning on the effective date of this
permit and do not count prior exceedances.
The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last COC was issued are noted either in the
Draft Permit FoctSheet that accompanied the public notice (http://Portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/current-
notices , or in the Response to Comments / Summary of Changes and Technical Bulletin documents that are
posted on the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website with the new General Permit. Please visit
http://portal.ncdenr.ozlweb/wq/ws/su/npdessw (click on 'General Permits' tab) to review that information
for your specific General Permit carefully.

Some of the changes include:
Part II:
• Section A: The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) section, if applicable, has been updated
to the most current language of our permits. Additional conditions for specific industry sectors have
been added to the SPPP requirements in some cases.
• Sections B, C: Failure to perform analytical stormwater monitoring may result in the Division requiring
that the permittee begin a monthly sampling scheme.
• Sections B, C: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/I for HQW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters applies to these
more sensitive waters.
• Sections B, C: The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease (O&G) has been replaced by the parameter
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) for vehicle maintenance areas, and in some cases, other
analytical monitoring requirements.
• Sections e, C, 0: Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be recorded in the SPPP, or in
separate on -site records if your General Permit does not require an SPPP. Adverse weather is defined
in the "Definitions" section of the permit.
• Sections 8, C. The term "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable Storm
Event." A measurable storm event is defined in the permit.
• Section D: If the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, DWQ may require the permittee to perform corrective action.
Please review Parts III and IV to understand the Standard Conditions of your new NPDES General Permit,
including Compliance and Liability, Reporting, Monitoring and Records requirements; Operation and
Maintenance obligations; and Definitions. Please note that all samples analyzed in accordance with the terms
of this permit must be submitted to the Division on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms available on
the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website above. DMR forms must be delivered to the Division no later than
30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. Also note that existing
permittees do not need to submit a renewal request prior to expiration unless directed by the Division.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. This permit
does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, nor does it
relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law,
rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. if you have any questions regarding this permit
package, please contact the Division's Stormwater Permitting Unit at [phone].
