Mr. Lambe,
Vertex performed site sampling of our stormwater outfalls as specified in our general permit. This sampling
occurred at outfail 1 northwest on November 9, 2017 at 11:55 a.m. On November 27, 2017 at 154 p.m., Vertex
received the lab results which were completed by Environmental Chemist, Inc. Upon review of the report provided by
Environmental Chemist, Inc. it was discovered that at outfall 1 northwest there was a Level of Non -Polar O&G/Total
Petroleum Hydrocarbons of 18 mg/L. This is .03 mg/L above than the benchmark indicated on our general permit. We
are currently assessing the situation to determine the potential causes. No cause as of now have been determined.
In an effort to be proactive, we will be taking all necessary steps to ensure resolution. Vertex will be consulting our
third -party testing company to discuss additional sampling of Outfall 1 northwest. As requested, attached above are the
testing results and DMR. Thank you for forwarding these results into your system as we discussed.
Please contact me if there are any further questions.
Regards,
Nate Chapoton, CSP

' Monthly sampling (instead of semi-annual) must begin with the second consecutive benchmark exceedance for the same parameter at the same outfall.
For sampling periods with no discharge at any single outfall, you must still submit this discharge monitoring report with a checkmark here.
3The total precipitation must be recorded using data from an on -site rain gauge. Unattended sites may be eligible for a waiver of the rain gauge requirement.
`See General Permit, Table 3 identifying the especially sensitive receiving water classifications where the more protective benchmark applies.
s Total Toxic Organics sampling is applicable only for these facilities which perform metal finishing operations, manufacture semiconductors, manufacture
electronic crystals, or manufacture cathode ray tubes. For purposes of this permit the definition of Total Toxic Organics is that definition contained in the EPA
Effluent Guidelines for the facility subject to the requirement to sample (for metal finishing use the definition as found in 40 CFR 433,11; for semiconductor
manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469,12; for electronic crystal manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.22; and for cathode ray
tube manufacture use the definition found in 40 CFR 469.31).
Permit Date: 11/1/2012-10/31/2017 5WU-245, last revised 10/25/2012

Facilities that incorporate a solvent management plan into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan may so certify, and the requirement for TTO monitoring
may be waived. The solvent management plan shall include a list of the total toxic organic compounds used and the other elements listed in the General
Permit. For those facilities electing to employ the TTO monitoring waiver, the discharger shall sign the following certification statement:
"Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit monitoring requirement for total toxic organics
(TTO). I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, no dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the Stormwater or areas which are exposed to rainfall or
stormwater runoff has occurred since filing the last discharge monitoring report. I further certify that this facility is implementing the all the provisions of the
solvent management plan included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan."

Permit. NGG030684 Owner - Facility: Vertex Railcar Corporation
inspection Date: 07/05/2017 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Met with Dan Dawson to review NOL The site has minimal pollutant sources as much of the production is inside the
warehouse. Possible pollutants include: storage of metal products outdoors, used paint drums,and garnet waste from
blasting air system. S93
The site is currently permitted to Terex NCG030 which expires 10131/2017. Vertex paid the latest fee for Terex. A letter
from this office in April 2017 to Terex requesting closing the permit went unansered.
The site outfalls 1 and 2 were inspected. Outfall one is the southern outfall, two being northern.' Outfall one is a pipe from
the east side of the property leading to a v cut weir. The weir leads to a ditch that goes offsite. The weir section is the
sampling point. Outfall two collects the northern and western sections of the site, leading through stale port property.
Dawson did not want to sample on state port property and suggested at the junction of the two pipes or one box below the
junction. The sampling difficulty may be increased by these locations as it is not immediately visible when to sample per
guidelines.
The southern side of the site has a wetpondlinfiltration pond stormwater system. This system does not discharge. The area
on the south, below the rail line, is covered under a county erosion control permit. A contractor has materials onsite that
need removal. The area needs to continue to establish groundcover. There is two crushed conrete stockpiles and waste
material from the stormwater ponds.

Permit: NICGO30684 Owner - Facility: Vertex Railcar Corporation
Inspection date: D710512017 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Met with Dan Dawson to review NOI. The site has minimal pollutant sources as much of the production is inside the
warehouse. Possible pollutants include: storage of metal products outdoors, used paint drums,and garnet waste from
blasting air system.
The site is currently permitted to Terex NCGO30538 which expires 10/31/2017. Vertex paid the latest fee for Terex. A letter
from this office in April 2017 to Terex requesting closing the permit.went unansered.
The site outfalls 1 and 2 were inspected. Outfall one is the southern outfall, two being northern. Outfall one is a pipe from
the east side of the property leading to a v cut weir. The weir leads to a ditch that goes offsite. The weir section is the
sampling point. Outfall two collects the northern and western sections of the site, leading through state port property.
Dawson did not want to sample on state port property and suggested at the junction of the two pipes or one box below the
junction. The sampling difficulty may be increased by these locations as it is not immediately visible when to sample per
guidelines.
The southern side of the site has a wetpondlinfiltration pond stormwater system. This system does not discharge The area
on the south; below the rail line, is covered under a county erosion control permit. A contractor has materials onsite that
need removal. The area needs to continue to establish groundcover. There is two crushed conrete stockpiles and waste
material from the stormwater ponds.

Dan,
Thanks for calling for guidance on what to do with this operation. The original application was not included in the file;
there was only a brief confirmation from the regional office to go ahead and issue the permit COC. I stick with my
recommendation to you to submit a new NOI for coverage under the NCG030000 General Permit to our office, and
please note that the previous operator of NCG030583 no longer operates this facility. We normally rescind the permit
only upon request by the original owner, unless it is clear to us that they are no longer the owner/operator of the site,
and so I think that process will be straightforward.
