I have drawn up a site map illustrating the locations of our outfalls, and completed an update of our annual plan. These documents are available for your review at our plant. A rain gauge has been installed, and the boiler room floor drain has been plugged with concrete. Secondary containment has been added for the hazardous waste oil drum in the compressor room. Pictures of these improvements are included. Analytical monitoring results have been obtained, and will go out with the permit renewal application today. Keeping your advice in mind, I paid a visit to Mr. John Reno of Rockwell Automation in Weaverville on February 27th. It was most enlightening and informative. I will duplicate his record keeping system so that we will be able to present a more organized report on your next visit.

Governor Director August 27, 2012 Jack Anders Arvinmeritor Inc 90 Christ School Rd Arden, NC 28704 Subject. Rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit Certificate of Coverage Number NCG030479 Arvinmeritor Inc Buncombe County Dear Permtttee., Dee Freeman Secretary On Rescission requested, the Division of Water Quality received your request to rescind your coverage under Certificate of Coverage Number NCG030479. In accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage Number NCG030479 is rescinded effective immediately. Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stormwater to waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day. It is the intention of DWQ that enforcement proceedings will occur for persons that have voluntarily relinquished permit coverage when, in fact, continuing permit coverage was necessary. If, in retrospect, you feel the site still requires permit coverage, you should notify this office immediately. Furthermore, if in the future you wish to again discharge to the State's surface waters, you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit. If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would inform the new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage. If you have questions about this matter, please contact Brian Lowther at (919) 807-6368, or the Water Quality staff in our Asheville Regional Office at NPDES SW. Sincerely, for Charles WI' akild, .E.

The site's spill pollution prevention plan was reviewed along with available monitoring records. There was no evidence that the plan has been updated to reflect operation changes.

Additional analytical monitoring is required for the last year of the permit (permit expires August 2007) and is to be submitted with permit renewal materials. As a reminder, analytical monitoring is to be conducted during a representative rainfall event as described in the permit (0.1 inches). Visual monitoring may be conducted during any rainfall event. In order to determine when a representative rainfall event is occurring, it is recommended that a rain gage be installed onsite. Secondary containment is required for the hazardous waste drum located in the compressor room. It is recommended that the scrap metal containers located outside be covered in some manner to eliminate exposure to the elements and potential contaminated runoff. it is also recommend that the abandoned propane tank located onsite be decommissioned and properly disposed.
