This letter is in response to proper reporting of consecutive exceedances of stormwater
monitoring results for copper and zinc at the facility located at 1000 Deere -Hitachi Road in
Kernersville and in regard to your "Request for Monitoring Relief'. The facility is currently
covered under a NC General Stormwater Permit as required by the Federal Environmental
Protection Agency. You have been conducting analytical monitoring as the permit requires.
You and your staff followed Reporting Requirements of the General Permit and went into Tier II
and Tier III Monitoring as required. Investigation and sampling of un-contaminated rainwater
and from offsite stormwater as well as testing of soil samples has revealed levels of copper and
zinc that exceed permit parameters.

Re: City of Winston-Salem Sewer Leak
Certified Mail: 7013 0600 0000 1865 7972
Dear Mr. White:
4n March 31, 2016 Deere -Hitachi discovered sewage leaking from a manhole on the south
side of Deere -Hitachi property adjacent to the property line and railroad tracks. The leaking
infrastructure is part of the City of Winston-Salem sewer system. The City of Winston-Salem
was notified immediately (-2:00 pm) and informed that the spillage was flowing down a
drainage ditch into a nearby creek. We were informed by the City of Winston-Salem that it
would be 2 — 3 hours before a technician would be on -site to assess the situation. We
communicated to the city that we considered this to be an emergency and recommended that
they get someone on site quickly to assess the situation and to make the repairs as soon as
possible. (The City of Winston reference number for the sewer issue is 99585.) NCDEQ was
notified of the incident at approximately 3:00 pm.
In order to quickly eliminate flow to the local environment Deere -Hitachi placed absorbent
booms near the entrance to the storm water receptor (3:00 pm) and constructed an earthen
berm to contain the sewage (3:30 pm). Shamrock Environmental arrived on site shortly
thereafter to pump sewage from the diked area and to clean out any other sewage that
remained in the drainage ditch. The City of Winston-Salem was called several more times by
Jeff Rowan, Brandon Hill and Debbie Randleman before they arrived at approximately
4:45pm. They removed the cover of a manhole and cleared the obstruction using pressurized
water. Ultimately they discovered tree roots had grown into the pipe and caused the
obstruction. The roots were removed. Clean-up was completed by 8:15 pm March 31, 2016.
The city plans to run a camera through the sewer lines the week of April 4— 8, 2016 to
investigate and determine to what extent the root system has grown in order to determine
how to rectify the issue.
If you have any questions, please contact Debbie Randleman

TRACY DAVIS
On January 26, 2016 Glen White of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality,
Department of Energy, Minerals and Land Resources met with you at the subject facility located
at 1000 Deere'Hitachi Road, Kernersville, NC to conduct an inspection for compliance with the
facilities Industrial Stormwater Permit. Inspection consist of review of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan, training and monitoring records and observation of the general condition of the
site and all outfalls. Present and assisting with inspection were your engineers Brandon Hill, PE
and Winfred Locus, The Facility Supervisor Bobby Bryant, and yourself, Environmental
Coordinator. Everyone's cooperation and assistance with the inspection was greatly appreciated.
Permit:
This facility holds General Stormwater Permit NCG030240 to discharge stormwater from
industrial activity associated with Metal Fabrication under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES). The permit became effective November 1, 2012 and expires on
October 31, 2017. A copy of the current permit is required to be maintained with the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) documents. A copy of the current permit was available for
review at the time of inspection.
Records/Reports:
This facility was required to develop and maintain a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP) in accordance with Part II, Section A of the permit. The SPPP is currently being updated
to show new facilities and site amenities. It was available for review and appeared to be well
prepared and updated annually. The SPPP and monitoring records for this facility were
maintained in the computer system and engineers were working on updated at the time of
inspection. The SPPP includes documentation for employee training per the permit. No
deficiencies noted,

Facility Site Review:
The facility builds construction equipment under both Deere and Hitachi names. Inspection
consist of an external inspection of the site and all outfalls. The site appears to be very clean and
well maintained. They have recently expanded operations and have new manufacturing
facilities. The type of industrial activity and possible pollutants did not change with expansion.
Effluent Receiving Waters:
Stormwater from this facility drains to receiving waters designated as UT to Belows Creek
(Kernersville Lake), a class WSIV;CA water of the Roanoke River Basin via outfalls as
identified on the SPPP. Drainage water as it left the property via ditches/streams appeared clear.
Drainage that flows onto the property appeared to contain significant suspended solids and
tannins.
Self -Monitoring Program:
The facility has representative outfall status at locations as described in a letter from NCDENR
on October 10, 2014 and as shown on the SPPP siteplan. This facility has been in a Tier 2
monitoring response as the permit requires since 2011 due to consistent elevation of TSS, zinc
and copper in sampling. Ms. Randleman has conducted monitoring monthly as required and has
taken steps to improve the site and has tried to improve sampling results, but there has been little
change. She believes contamination in the drainage way is coming from contaminated waters
offsite before they enter the Deere -Hitachi property. In inspecting the site, the inspector believes
this may be the fact. Ms. Randleman will test offsite drainage water at locations just before
entering the property boundary and she will also test the rainwater itself. These test should help
determine what contamination exist in the offsite water and in the rainwater prior to entering the
sites drainage ways. She will forward a copy of results to Glen White at glen.white i ncdenr•.
for this office to review. If outside factors can be determined to be the cause of exceeded results,
NCDEQ may allow the facility to reduce monitoring or return to bi-annual sampling as required
for Tier 1 sites.

The facility was found to be compliant with its stormwater permit requirements. Please include a
copy of this report in your SPPP records. Again, thank you for your time and assistance with
inspection. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Glen White at
[phone].

Deere -Hitachi Construction Machinery Corp.
Forsyth County
Dear Ms. Randleman:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
Aana Taylor -Smith of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land
Resources (DEMLR) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection at the subject facility on 10 October 2014. Your
assistance and cooperation were greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached for your records and the
inspection findings are summarized below.
This facility is located at 1000 Deere -Hitachi Road in Kernersville, Forsyth County, North Carolina. Stormwater
related to industrial activity is discharged from the site to an unnamed tributary to Kerners Mill Creek, which is
currently classified as Class WS-II1 waters, in the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin.
Documentation & Monitoring Review
This inspection was conducted to assess compliance with NPDES General Stormwater Permit NCG030000 and to
evaluate the drainage to the facility's Stormwater Discharge Outfalils (SDOs). Tier III response has been triggered
by consecutive exceedances of the copper benchmark at SDO 1 and zinc benchmarks at SDO 2. Please 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. Deere -Hitachi Construction Machinery
Corp. has been following the tiered response actions and is therefore in compliance with the permit.
The facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) contains all of the required elements and is up to date
and fully implemented. Both qualitative and analytical monitoring have been completed as required, including
increased monitoring required by the tiered response.
Tiered Response Requirements
Currently, monthly monitoring is required in response to two consecutive exceedances of the benchmark values
or range for any specific parameter at a specific SDO. Deere -Hitachi Construction Machinery Corp. has completed
monthly monitoring for all applicable outfalls as well as taking extensive actions to identify and eliminate
potential sources of pollution. The facility has used video equipment to assess stormwater pipes, replaced baffles
in basins, and taken soil samples on site. Corrugated building materials could be a potential contributing factor to
benchmark exceedances not related to industrial activity. The facility has an extensive inspection and

maintenance program that addresses and seeks to eliminate potential stormwater issues. Deere -Hitachi
Construction Machinery Corp. continually takes measures to reduce the potential for stormwater contamination
on site and has a very rigorous environmental program.
At this time, the Division concurs that more frequent monitoring at this site would be ineffective. The Division
relieves you of the additional monitoring frequencies required in the Tiered Response section of this permit for
copper at SDO 1 and zinc at SDO 2. You must continue to monitor semi-annually as required by the permit, but
you will not be required to institute monthly monitoring for any future exceedances of the copper parameter at
SDO 1 or zinc parameter at SDO 2. Tiered response requirements still apply for all other parameters and at all
other outfalls.
You must notify this office in writing within five business days if you become aware of any significant source of
copper or zinc 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 and housekeeping actions at Deere -Hitachi Construction
Machinery Corp. If industrial practices change and copper and/or zinc become a significant stormwater exposure
risk at the specified outfalls, this office reserves the right to withdraw this decision and reinstate the permit -
specified tiered response or other actions that may be warranted.
We appreciate your efforts to comply with the stormwater permit and the proactive steps taken to identify and
eliminate potential sources of pollution. No additional response to this letter is required, but please append this
letter to your SPPP to document that your facility has been relieved of monthly monitoring requirements for the
specified parameters. Should you have any questions regarding the NCG030000 permit or this inspection, please
do not hesitate to contact Ms. Taylor -Smith or me at [phone].

Representative Outfall Status Request and Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Deere -Hitachi Construction Machinery Corp.
Forsyth County
Dear Ms. Randleman:
The Winston-Salem Regional Office staff has reviewed your request received 8 August 2014 for
determination that Outfoll3 be granted representative outfall status for Outfalls 3 and 5 and that a
proposed outfall (Outfall 4) be granted representative outfall status for Outfalls 4 and 5 at the Deere -
Hitachi Construction Machinery Corp. site located at 1000 Deere -Hitachi Road in Kernersville, North
Carolina. Based on Aana Taylor -Smith's site inspection on 15 August 2014, we are approving this
request. In accordance with 40 CFR §122.21(g)(7), you are authorized to sample Outfalls 3 and 4 as the
representative outfalls. Outfalls 1 and 2 must continue to be sampled in addition to Outfalls 3 and 4.
This approval is effective with the next sampling event. However, this approval is contingent on the
following requirements:
(1) All outfalls, regardless of representative status, must have a cleared path and the right of way to
the outfall must be properly maintained.
(2) The permit still requires that Qualitative Monitoring be performed at all Stormwater Discharge
outfalls, regardless of representative status.
In addition, please remember that any actions you initiate in response to benchmark exceedences as
directed in the tiered response provisions of your permit must address all drainage areas, where
appropriate. The site drains to an unnamed tributary to Kerners Mill Creek, which is currently classified
as Class WS-III waters, in the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin.
Please append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) to document that
representative outfall status has been approved. If changes in drainage areas, structures, processes,
storage practices, or other activities occur that significantly alter the basis of this approval,
representative outfall status may no longer be valid. You should either resume sampling at all storm
water discharge outfalls, or reapply to this office for representative outfall status based on updated
information.

Documentation & Monitoring Review
The facility's SPPP is extremely thorough, up to date, and fully implemented. Qualitative and analytical
monitoring have been completed as required. This facility does not perform on -site vehicle
maintenance. All records were available for inspection and found to be compliant.
Site Review
The facility is clean and well -maintained. Secondary containment is implemented as required. The
outfails were inspected and found to be in good order. No evidence of erosion or instability at the SDOs
was observed. The receiving stream was free of pollution indicators.
We appreciate your efforts to comply with the stormwater permit. No additional response to this letter
is required. Should you have any questions regarding the NCG030000 permit, representative outfall
status, or this inspection, please contact Ms. Taylor -Smith at [phone] or at aana.taylor-

If a facility is required to sample multiple discharge locations with very similar stormwater discharges, the
permittee may petition the Director for Representative Outfall Status (ROS). DWQ may grant Representative
Outfall Status if stormwater discharges from a single outfall are representative of discharges from multiple
outfalls. Approved R05 will reduce the number of outfalls where analytical sampling requirements apply.
If Representative Outfall Status is granted, ALL outfalls are still subject to the qualitative monitoring
requirements of the facility's permit —unless otherwise allowed by the permit (such as NCGO20000) and DWQ
approval. The approval letter from DWQ must be kept on site with the facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The facility must notify DWQ in writing if any changes affect representative status.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area (see page 3).

Representative Outfall Status Request
4) Detailed explanation about why the outfalls above should be granted Representative Status:
(Or, attach a letter or narrative to discuss this information.) For example, describe how activities and/or
materials are similar.
Stormwater discharge from outfalls 4 and 6 currently flow towards a central
location, which we propose to designate as Outfall 7, if representative outfall
status is granted. The drainage area for Outfalls 4 and 6 are similar in nature
and drain the northern portion of the property. Outfall 7 would include the discharge
from Outfalls 4 and 6 prior to discharging into the Kerners Mill creek and
caving the property. Stormwater discharge from outfall 5 currently flows into a
weir towards proposed outfall 7 or into the headwaters of Kerners Mill Creek. We
propose to change the sampling location of Outfall 3 to below the current Outfall
3 to capture Stormwater discharge from Outfalls 3 and 5 in addition to the sheet
flow entering the creek.
5) Certification:
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6 B(i) provides that:
Any person who knowingly makes any false statement, representation, or certification in any application, record,
report, plan, or other document filed or required to be maintained under this Article or a rule implementing this

or method required to be operated or maintained under this Article or rules of the [Environmental Management]
Commission implementing this Article shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor which may include a fine not to exceed
ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
I hereby request Representative Outfall Status for my NPDES Permit. I understand that ALL outfalls are still
subject to the qualitative monitoring requirements of the permit, unless otherwise allowed by the permit
and regional office approval. 1 must notify DWQ in writing if any changes to the facility or its operations
take place after ROS is granted that may affect this status. If ROS no longer applies, I understand I must

Re: Notification of Planned Changes [40CFR122.41(I)]
Deere -Hitachi Construction Machinery Corp. - NPDES Stormwater Permit # NCG030240
Mr. Basinger:
This letter is to serve notice that the Deere -Hitachi Construction Machinery Corporation located at
1000 Deere -Hitachi Drive in Kernersville, NC has expanded its facility and needs to modify its
current NPDES general industrial stormwater permit to include an additional stormwater
discharge outfall. The facility has acquired a 55 acre industrial park adjacent to the east side of
the existing site. The entire industrial complex is now 109 acres. Construction is underway to add
several manufacturing buildings, parking lots, and roads to the new site. There is one large
building, utilized as a warehouse, which was in operation at the time of the property acquisition.
Deere -Hitachi will continue to use this building as a warehouse.
Please refer to the attached site map. Of the total 55 acres acquired, 49+1- acres has all
stormwater runoff directed to a construction retention pond for sediment control, After the
construction is completed, the retention pond will remain as a water quality BMP device. Deere -
Hitachi intends to include the discharge point of the retention pond as a new SDO sampling point
in compliance with the NPDES stormwater permit. It will be SDO #5 on the site map. All
stormwater drainage from the existing property and the new site will discharge to Kerners Mill
Creek.
The remaining 6+/- acres (a flat grassy field) of the newly acquired land is isolated from the main
tract to the south side by the elevated railroad tracks of Southern Railway. This parcel of land will
remain undeveloped as a pervious grassy field. There are no point source discharges from this
area. Stormwater flow off this field is southward to a stormwater drainage ditch which runs along
the side West Mountain Street.
Deere -Hitachi is modifying its Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan to incorporate the new
property and manufacturing buildings. Neither the type of industrial activity nor nature of
pollutants that may be discharged from the new manufacturing area will be different from what is
monitored at the existing facility. The stormwater sampling of the new outfall (SDO#5) will begin
with this current sampling period as outlined in the permit.
If you have any questions, please call Barry Chipman [phone].
Thank you,
Wpm' L&

Deere -Hitachi Construction Machinery Corporation, Kernersville Plant

Dear Mr. Chipman:
Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) at the subject facility on February 14, 2012.
Yours and Debbie Randleman's assistance and cooperation was greatly appreciated during the
inspection. An inspection checklist is attached for your records and the inspection findings are
summarized below.
The facility is located at 1000 Deere -Hitachi Road, in Kernersville, Forsyth County, North
Carolina, at approximate coordinates 36.136100°,-80.093100°. Stormwater related to industrial
activity is discharged from the site via stormwater discharge outfalls (SDO) 001 through 004, to an
unnamed tributary to Kerners Mill Creek, which is currently classified as a class WS-I11 (water supply)
waters located in the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin.
Documentation & Monitoring Review
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3) is complete and is currently being completely
implemented. Mr. Boone found no deficiencies in the SP3 document.
The facility exceeded the Total Suspended Solids (TSS) benchmark at SDO 002 in February
and October, 2011. It is therefore in tier two monitoring for TSS at SDO 002. The facility has taken
measures to reduce TSS concentrations at 002 including the installation of rip rap and flow baffles in
the swale leading to the discharge pipe. It is suspected that the pipe that leads to 002 may be
crushed or corroded and that the flow of water to the outfall through the pipe is picking up significant
suspended solids by the time it reaches the end of the pipe. The next step may be to dig up and
replace the pipe in question. Also, the facility exceeded the TSS benchmark at SDO 003 in February,
2011, but there have been no further exceedences at this SDO.

Total Toxic Organics (TTO) monitoring is not required as the facility maintains a solvent
management plan with its SP3. Furthermore, vehicle maintenance monitoring is not required
because you do not use more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month,
Site Review
The site was very clean and well maintained. Mr. Boone identified no violations or deficiencies
during his inspection of the site.
In conclusion, Mr. Boone expressed that he thinks you are doing an excellent job. Please
continue your hard work and effort to maintain an exceptional SP3 and stormwater pollution
prevention program. If you have any questions or need any further assistance in correcting the
benchmark exceedences at SDO 002, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Boone.
Should you have any questions regarding the permit, this letter, or the inspection, please do
not hesitate to contact Mr. Boone or me at [phone].
