Relief from Advanced Tier Response
Durham County
Dear Ms. Lazzari:
Mr. Lloyd Smith of CREE contacted our office regarding the oversight in granting regulatory
relief of monthly sampling prompted by exceedances of zinc and copper benchmarks at
CREE's RTP facility. As his request summarized, Mr. Dave Parnell and Ms. Bethany
Georgoulias met with you and other CREE representatives in August 2014 to discuss CREE's
request for relief of Tier 2 monthly monitoring for zinc and copper for both this facility in RTP
and the Durham facility on Silicon Drive. After sufficient follow-up to Raleigh Regional Office
(RRO) staff on questions about pH measurements, the RRO granted relief from advanced Tier
sampling for these parameters on September 24, 2014; however, that letter only referenced
the Durham facility (Silicon Drive) covered under COC No. NCG030433. Ms. Georgoulias and
Mr. John Holley of the RRO verified that correspondence from Mr. Parnell and conversations
with the Central Office in 2014 did not suggest a reason for omitting approval for the RTP
location (NCG030541), and that RRO's intent was to approve regulatory relief at both facilities.
Please maintain this letter in your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) to document
that semi-annual monitoring for the remainder of the permit term was approved for this
location at 3026 Cornwallis Road in RTP at the same time that relief was granted for the
Durham facility on Silicon Driveas documented in the letter from the Raleigh Regional Office
dated September 24, 2014 (attached). All terms and conditions in that letter also apply to the
RTP facility. As a reminder, this decision applied only to the zinc and copper benchmarks.
A benchmark exceedance of any other parameter listed in your permit will trigger the tiered
response actions as described in the NCG030000 General Permit.

Lloyd,
was in the office only briefly today to pull both files and realized that we never even got the copy of that letter here in
Central Office.
I also don't remember that Dave had any objections to relieving the frequency at the RTP facility as well. I have the
email correspondence between us all, including his last one on Sept 12, 2014, where he concurred that Cree had
addressed concerns. I responded with my agreement on Sept 16, 2014. I'll be in touch with John Halley first thing
Monday to verify that no other concerns came up before he signed that letter (or if there was another letter that didn't
go out for some reason). Most likely we here in Central Office will follow up with a letter to you. I'll keep you posted,

Bethany;
Thanks for looking into the Tier response relief for both the RTP and Durham sites. I remember David Parnell giving me
the ok to cease the accelerated sampling and return to normal, but as I indicated, the letter sent from John Holley was
for the Durham site only. As an aside, should we continue with the Tier sampling for the RTP site? At this juncture we
have only been performing normal semi-annual DMR sampling for both locations.

Tier stormwater testing for our RTP and Durham sites. As you remember, representatives from Cree, David Parnell and
yourself met for a presentation for relief from Cu and Zn testing at both Cree sites on 8/1/2014. Apparently relief was

Subject: Tier 3 relief
Hello John;
I am in receipt of the attached letter from your department for relief from Advanced Tier stormwater testing for the
Silicon Drive location dated 9/24/2013. This letter was forwarded to me from David Parnell when he was with the DWQ.
A meeting was held at the Raleigh office on August 1 with David Parnell and Bethany Georgoulias to present Cree's
case, with a formal request letter (also attached) following the meeting. This letter requested Tier relief for the RTP
site at 3026 Cornwallis Road along with Silicon Drive. However, the September letter from DWQ states relief only
for NPDES Permit NCGZ030433 (Silicon Drive), and not also NPDES Permit NCG030541 (3026 Cornwallis Road).
Since the request letter specifically asks for relief for both sites, Cree thinks this may be an oversight from the
agency, and asks for further explanation in the form of a letter stating similar conditions for the Cornwallis
Road location.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Relief from Advanced Tier Response

Dear Ms. Lazzari:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
In response to your discussions with NCDENR Land Quality Section staff, concerning multiple
exceedances of the benchmark values for zinc and copper, Dave Parnell of the Land Quality
Section - Stormwater staff, conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) on April 8,
2014. The inspection was conducted to determine compliance with the conditions of your
NPDES NCG030433 Stormwater Permit and to discuss any actions that have been or could be
taken to identify and eliminate potential sources of Zinc and Copper related to facility
operations.
Keep in mind that benchmark exceedances are not limit violations or violations of permit
conditions; however, you are obligated to follow the tiered response actions outlined in your
permit. At the time of the inspection, your facility was found to be in compliance with the
tiered response actions and other conditions of the permit. During the inspection, you are
reported to have relayed to Mr. Parnell that you have heen unable to determine the source of
the higher levels of the metals, found at the Silicon Drive outfalls. It is notable in this case,
that CREE does not use copper or zinc in the manufacturing processes and the facility has
conducted extensive reviews of your site for external sources of the metals. Your diligence in
attempting to determine and eliminate the zinc source and your continued communication
with Raleigh Regional Office staff is commendable and is documented back to the April 8
compliance evaluation inspection.

Based on the aforementioned items, DENR Land Quality Section is granting regulatory relief in
the form of a collapsed Tier 2-Tier 3 response. Upon receipt of this letter, CREE - Silicon
Drive, may resume the permit specified semi-annual analytical monitoring for the remainder
of the current permit term - which ends October 31., 2017. This decision applies only to the
zinc and copper benchmarks. A benchmark exceedance of any other parameter lusted in
your permit will trigger the tiered response actions as described in your permit.
You must notify this office, in writing, within five business days if you become aware of any
significant source of zinc or copper at your facility, that has the potential to be exposed to
stormwater. The relief granted in this letter is contingent upon the current industrial
practices at CREE. If industrial practices change and zinc & copper does 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.
Retain and append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) or permit.
Should you have questions or comments regarding the CEI or this letter, please contact Dave
Parnell at [phone] or [e-mail].

Thanks for this follow-up and your offer to address it from the central office. I will take you up on your offer. I concur
that this must have been an oversight. When I discussed his request with him, I did a little research and could not find
anything to say that the RTP site should have been excluded. Apparently, the documents you have mentioned were the
only ones. This request has simply been buried in the work we have in our shop; I apologize for not sending him

Hi John,
Please see the request from Cree to sort out what we think is an oversight in a letter that went out to them last
year. Below the correspondence from Lloyd Smith of CREE to you, and I have included the last exchanges I had with Dave
Parnell about these facilities — as far as I can remember, there was no reason he would have granted monitoring relief
for one site (Durham) but not the RTP site.
Lloyd needs a letter to verify that this was an oversight for their records. I can send something from here in the Central
Office since this is a time sensitive request, but I wanted to check with you about whether there was something we
missed about this. Any reason Dave would have just written the one letter, or was there another? We did not receive
any paper copies here in the Central Office. I'd like to help Lloyd get guidance on monitoring ASAP.
Please let me know.

Thanks,
Bethany

Good Morning Lloyd:
I hope you had some time off during the past week -end and it was a enjoyable.
After meeting with Bethany Georgoulias Friday, we agreed that we are getting closer to making a decision on your
request for release from your advance Tier placement. We, first would like to have an e-mailed version of your
presentation which was presented to us at the Raleigh Regional Office, on August 1.
Secondarily, we ask that you provide the Central Office with amended Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR) that reflect
the pH readings that were obtained by your staff on site. It is our hope that those "time of sample" readings would be
within required benchmarks and more accurately demonstrate your actual time of sample pH, and not reflect those run
at the lab after some time has passed. Again, we hope that should take care of the pH issue — with respect to possible
advanced Tiers.
When we have received the presentation from August 1, we may be able to make a decision.

Subject: RE: Monitoring Results
David;
Here is a brief outline of where we are currently with pH sampling prior to monitoring with spw3 at the Cree site;
- Previously to my tenure, Cree had ensured that all containment water (water from hazardous waste tanks,
chilled process loops, etc.) met spw3 regulations for discharge — including pH. A permit for state lab
certification was obtained by Cree for this reason as it could be construed that pH from these tanks was
contributing to elevated or low pH readings as time of biannual spw3 sampling.
- This was extended to all spw3 sampling (analysis at outfall) starting in 2013.
- As a vendor (URS Corporation) was employed to perform the regular biannual testing, the pH was
transferred and analyzed at the receiving laboratory instead of a sample at the outfall during the event.
- Cree has instructed our vendor performing spw3 testing to measure pH at the outfall site as well as in the
laboratory for all future rain events.
I hope this clears it up — thanks. LLS

Lloyd,
Could you and Donna further discuss the pH monitoring that occurred and your reasoning as to the difference in the
results from the two labs? My understanding is that the Meritech results were all below the approved benchmarks in
May 2014, but when analyzed by Enco the results were within the approved benchmarks -for the some monitoring
period. Is this correct? Both Labs had different outcomes for the same sample period?
Thanks, hope to have an answer for you this week.

RE: Monitoring Request for Tier 2 status
Dear Mr. Parnell;
This letter is to follow up our meeting on Friday, August 1, 2014 at the DENR offices at 3800 Barrett
Drive and subsequent telephone and email conversations concerning Zn and Cu levels in stormwater
samples at the Cree Durham and RTP facilities.
As mentioned, Cree has limited pH sampling during rain events to single samples at each outfall sent
to an analytical laboratory. Since pH tends to drift with hold time, it was noted that pH data from the
May 2014 sampling event was below 6.0 for all 12 outfalls analyzed by Meritech, Inc., but normal for
Enco Laboratories for 10 out of the 12 outfalls. Although Cree considers this to be inconsistent with
sampling from June 2013 thru February 2014 where all pH values were within normal range, and is
probably due to this inherent discrepancy, Cree will obtain grab samples for pH during the next
available rain event prior to laboratory analysis.
After these results for grab and analytical samples are received, Cree will request guidance from the
agency on further sampling protocols. Cree will also continue to examine any additional sources to
these elevated Cu and Zn levels as we proceed in our investigation.
Please contact me at 919-407-6101 if you need additional information.

Dear Permittee:
Division of Water Quality
Charles Wakild, P. E.

Dee Freeman
Secretary
Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal
Cree RTP
COC Number NCG030541
Durham County
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under Stormwater General Permit NCG030000
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 NCG030000
• 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 Part 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 Fact Sheet 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.org/web/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 8, C: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/1 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 B, C, D: 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 B, 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].
Sincerely,
for Charles Wakild, P.E.
