Dear Mr. Hannah:

Charlotte, NC b8202
Fax: 704-336� 391
On November 17, 2014, Justin Klein of Charlotte -Mecklenburg Storm Water Services
(CMSWS) sampled storm water runoff from the subject facility located at 3901 Barringer
Drive, Charlotte, North Carolina. The monitoring was conducted under authority granted
by Charlotte City Code Chapter 18, Section 18-82. It was also conducted as part of a
cooperative working agreement between Mecklenburg County and the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) — Division of Energy,
Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), who has been copied on this report and made
aware of monitoring results.
A summary table of the monitoring results is attached to this report. Bacteria parameters
(Fecal coliform and E. Coli) were elevated. However, sediment, metals and nutrients
levels were relatively low when compared to historical monitoring data collected from
many industrial sites in Mecklenburg County. The bacteria issue may be due to large
amounts of paperboard being stored outside.
CMSWS recommends that you develop and implement a plan to reduce outdoor storage
by moving more product indoors, creating more covered areas, and increasing outdoor
housekeeping frequency in order to reduce pollutant concentrations and to minimize
contamination in your site's storm water runoff.
Sincerely,
'ad - ,

Chapter 143, Article 21 of the North Carolina General Statutes (G.S.) authorizes and directs the
Environmental Mlanaaement Commission of the Department of Environment & Natural Resources to protect
and preserve the water resources of the State. The Division of Water Quality (D WQ) has the delegated
authority to enforce adopted pollution control rules and regulations.
After reviewing the web site for SONOCO facilities it has been determined that two other recycling
facilities located in the N'tooresville Regional Office are not listed as permitted facilities in our stormwater data
base. If these facilities are currently operating as a non metal recycling operation they should be permitted.
Operating a facility without a stormwater permit
G.S. 143-215.1 requires that certain industrial facilities must obtain and operate under an NPDES permit
for stormwater discharges. NPDES general permit NCG130000 has been established pursuant to G.S. 143-
215.1(b) for discharges of stormwater to surface waters. This general permit is applicable to owners or
operators of stormwater point source discharges associated with activities classified as establishments primarily
engaged in: wholesale trade of non-metal waste and scrap a portion of standard industrial classification (SIC)
5093.
