Inspection Summary:
This facility no longer conducts any manufacturing at all. The facility located on Standard Drive is a distribution center only.
The other O'Neal plant located on Florida Street is a full production steel plant. Application for Rescission at the Standard
Drive facility was initially requested in June of 2012.
Only warehousing and distribution take place at the 301 Standard Drive site. In 2012, there were pallets, steel, etc. stored
outside. Today the exterior of the plant appears clean and well maintained.
don't see any issue with rescinding NCG030608 under current conditions.

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal
O'Neal Steel Inc I
COC Number NCG030608
Guilford County
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCGO30000
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 (CDC)
• 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

Some of the changes include:
Part il:
• 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 8, 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/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• Sections B, C: The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease (O&G) has been replaced by the parameter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 8, 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,

Subject: Stormwater questions
Ken — Was talking with a consultant this morning regarding a newly permitted existing facility. As for preparing a SPPP,
the NCG permit is clear in that they have 12 months from issuance to develop and implement the SPPP per Part III.,
Section (A)(1). As far as I can see, the permit is not so clear as to when the analytical and qualitative has to begin. Any
guidance on this?
SHORT ANSWER:
This is a question that occasionally comes up, and so we are pretty well prepared on it. Not sure which NCG you are
looking at, but the intent always has been the same in all the NCGs, and the more recently revised ones have clarifying
language (admittedly needed for just this question.) ONLY the SPPP and Secondary Containment requirements are
delayed. The monitoring/reporting obligation is not delayed.
DISCUSSION:
Let me look at our oldest batch of NCGs..............OK, let's pick the language in NCG03, which was last revised in 2007,
and will be revised later this summer, consistent with the 5-yr cycle that we employ for all our stormwater permits. I'm
going to try to provide you some language that you can use with the consultant on this point:
• Part I, Section A, page 1 of 2: "Such discharges shall be controlled, limited, and monitored as specified in this
permit." -----Note that this could be one place where any exceptions as to compliance timing with the blanket
statement could be inserted in the document. No such statement appears. So far the permittee must control,
limit, and monitor as per the permit terms, with no delay in compliance provided for in the text, so for. Similar
language is repeated in Part I Section B, page 2 of 2.

Part II, Section A, pages 1-4 of 9 which lists the 9 requirements for the SPPP: Now here are.the permit
requirements as to the SPPP. Note that there are no delays provided for here, so far. (But, we will allow a delay
for 12 months, but this provision is included later on in the boilerplate, not here.)
Part II, Section B on monitoring: OK, this is a separate section, a separate set of requirements on a separate
aspect of the permit, the required monitoring. This clearly is not part of the SPPP, which is addressed in the
previous Section A. Note that there is no delay provided for in this section, for these activities. instead, Table 2
is a specific calendar of when the analyticals must be taken. There is no footnote or other provision for delaying
the dates in Table 2.. It would be reasonable to think that if DWQ intended for a delay in the. sampling, this
would be one place in the permit text where we might so state. We don't so state. Part 11, Sections C and D:
Similar to part B, the permit requires certain actions, and the text does not provide for any delay in those
actions. HOWEVER, as you rightly observed:
OK -- -- Now on to where the real heart of the issue is addressed in the Permit boilerplate. Part III Section A 1.
Compliance Schedule, "Existing facilities already operating, but applying for coverage under this general permit
for the first time: The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be developed and implemented within 12
months of the effective date of the initial Certificate of Coverage issued pursuant to this general
permit..... Secondary containment .... shall be accomplished within 12 months of the effective date of the initial
Certificate of Coverage."
* OK, so per this section in the boilerplate, two elements of the permit requirements may be delayed.
The SPPP, and the Secondary Containment. What about the monitoring requirements? Well, are they
listed here as eligible for a delay? No they aren't. So, they are not eligible for the delay, which is
specifically identified as pertaining to the SPPP and Secondary Containment.
o But maybe the permittee might think that the monitoring requirements are somehow part of the
SPPP. Then what?
Why would he think that? There isn't any part of the text that upon close reading supports that
conclusion.
Further, look at the structure of the permit text: Part II Section A — SPPP, Part 11 Sections B, C,
and D — Monitoring requirements. Different Section titles, different permit elements. There is
no basis to think that the boilerplate reference to delaying the SPPP also pertains to the
monitoring requirements.
Well, still it might be possible for the permittee to mis-read element 9 of the SPPP: "9.
Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. Implementation of the Plan shall
include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities,
and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken
to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance
activities." i can report that other permittees have mis-read this part. I can report that DWQ's
intent is that the monitoring requirement is not delayed for 12 months, but is effective
immediately upon issuance of the COC. I can direct our attention to the text in paragraph 9, and
observe that this paragraph first says:
• First: that the permittee must implement the SPPP (it's not enough just to write one up
he must implement it);
• and second: that 'implementing' the plan means among other things, to keep all the
documentation associated with various activities, ncluding the monitoring activities.
(But note that the monitoring activities themselves are required by a separate element
of the permit, and are not part of the SPPP element.) 1 think this is the most accurate
reading of paragraph 9, and it is the reading we have imposed on permittees when they
have challenged how soon they have to start sampling. The monitoring requirements
are effective immediately upon issuance of the COC, there is no delay.

Second question. Got a NCG03 facility that has stopped manufacturing. They are only warehousing materials at this
site now from another facility. Still have some steel and pallets outside. Consultant says they can rescind the permit
regardless of outside status since manufacturing has ceased. I assume he is correct but thought I should ask.
Environmentally, not really a big deal. Looks unsightly visually though. Okay to rescind?
SHORT ANSWER:
a) Consultant mis-understands the basis for rescission in federal rule.
b) It's WSRO call as to whether the site is clean enough to advise SPU to rescind the permit.
DISCUSSION:
OK Mike, a key element here is a WSRO judgment call, and your subsequent input to us advising us to rescind the
permit, based on the following ground rules/program history of implementation.
Even when industrial activity has ceased, DWQ may continue to require a permit until the site no longer presents a
stormwater pollution risk. Consultant is incorrect in asserting that the cessation of industrial activity alone is sufficient
basis to rescind the permit. This posture is well established in our program. Consider the hypothetical scenario where a
facility decides to move across town, but leaves behind great big piles of nasty stuff exposed to the rain. We will not
rescind his stormwater permit. He is still on the hook for the permit conditions. Usually this scenario plays out that the
RO advises him that he can't get out of the permit until he cleans up the site to their satisfaction. We always ask the RO
for input on every rescission request that comes into our office. Although it is not the normal course of events, we have
on numerous occasions rejected the rescission request with words to the effect of, "Based on a site visit by WSRO
Surface Water staff on February 30, 2011, we are denying your request to rescind Certificate of Coverage NCG060666.
Please continue to abide by all the requirements of NCGO6000 .... Please be aware that failure .......$25,000 per
day...... Please contact the WSRO Surface Water staff for further guidance... etc." What usually happens then is that we
get a second request a few weeks/months later after the facility has removed the great big piles of nasty stuff, the RO
staff have re -visited the site, and they have advised us that it is now OK to rescind the permit.
They can't just leave a mess. In addition to stopping industrial activity, they must cleanup the mess to your satisfaction,
ie until you are satisfied there is no threat of polluted stormwater discharges. Here's a spectrum of circumstances that
might influence the way you approach your `judgment call', so that you can provide input to SPU on whether to rescind,
or not:
• Maybe your judgment is that there are so few racks and pallets outside that you want to say, "That's good
enough to rescind the stormwater permit."
• Maybe your judgment is that if they will just move all that trash inside the building, "That's good enough to
rescind the stormwater permit."
• Maybe your judgment is that if they will just move all that trash to the city landfill, "That's good enough."
+ Maybe your judgment is that the pallets and racks are not really a problem, but the site has severe erosion
contributing to a TSS and/or NTU problem in the creek, and you don't want him to skip out until he has
stabilized the eroding area. Or maybe a large gravel parking lot that is causing the same sort of problem, and
you want him to rectify the problem.
• Maybe they have a bone yard with process vessels and funny stains on the pavement and the ground, and you
want them to excavate the surface stains, remove the process vessels in the bone yard, empty the process
clarifiers and transport the sludge off site before you will advise SPU to rescind the permit.
• Maybe they have left behind 60 great big super -sacks full of unknown material from their process, and you're
not sure they will ever come back to remove them, unless you make them. Withholding rescission of our permit
until this threat to stormwater is removed is entirely within our authority. ,
• Maybe they have contracted for complete demolition of the facility, and you want to keep our permit in place
until after the demolition is complete because you don't want them dumping all those still bottoms in the old
sediment pond that was their stormwater outfall.

i
• Etc, - - -Bottom line, we can keep them in the permit until you say there is no significant threat of stormwater
pollution.

Comment: This facility at 301 Standard Drive no longer does metal fabrication. It is
used for warehousing only for the O'Neal Steel facility at 105 East Florida Street
(NCG030607). Some steel and pallets remain outside. The facility submitted a
rescission request on 3119/12 instead of renewing the permit. The Central Office has
yet to act on the rescission request.
