Inspection Summary:
On August 29, 2018 this facility was inspected for compliance, I met with Eric Moreland on site. There was no SWPPP
available on site. The permitee is directed to immediately begin assembling and implementing a SWPPP applicable to the
facility. During the inspection, the following items were noted:
1) Visible resin particles were visible on the ground around the resin unloading area, which have the potential to affect
stormwater runoff. The permitee is directed to immediately review and implement preventative maintenance and good
housekeeping measures to prevent further resin waste to be released in the resin unloading area.
2) In the secondary containment area, there was a trench drain observed during the inspection. The permitee is directed to
confirm that this drain does indeed go to the sanitary sewer and not to the storm drain.
This facility will be re -inspected on or after October W, 2018.

Inspection Summary:
The perimeter of the plant was walked. All drop inlets were inspected. The drop inlet adjacent to the power station on the
western side of the plant behind the mold shop had staining on the grate that indicates the illicit dumping of petroleum
products into the storm drain. Additionally, the concrete pad and adjacent gravelled area behind the mold shop has
significant staining that is indicative of petroleum products. The facility is advised to conduct employee training to educate
staff about the necessity to properly dispose of potentially hazardous materials, and to wash machinery such that the
runoff does not enter the storm drain system.
The site map for the facility needs to be updated. The updates should include clearly delineated drainage areas, and
clear flowpa€hs for stormwater fate at all drop inlets.

PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to be covered by this General Permit trust register with the Division of
Water Quality by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees. The NOI shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any discharge of stormwater associated
with industrial activity that has a point source discharge to the surface waters of the state.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make
application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A
NCAC 2H .0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual
permit should be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES
permit until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an
activity covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may
request that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be
provided.
Facilities submitting NOIs for coverage under this permit, prior to establishment or approval of a
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for a priority pollutant(s) for stormwater discharges (i.e.
wet weather flows), may be covered under this permit during its term. For such facilities
continued coverage under the reissuance of this permit is subject to the facility demonstrating
that it does not have a reasonable potential to violate applicable water duality standards for such
pollutants due to the stormwater discharge(s). For facilities that do have a reasonable potential
for violation of applicable water quality standards due to the stormwater discharge(s) the facility
shall apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration of this general permit. Once
the individual permit is issued and becomes effective the facility will no longer have coverage
under the general permit_ A list of approved TMDLs for the state of North Carolina can be found
at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/tmdl/General TiNIDLs.htm,
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
Permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity. Such
discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit.
SECTION B. PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permince is authorized to discharge
stonnwater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system which has
been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this General
Permit. All discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization or approval.
The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of
Water Quality Standards_
Part I Page 1 of 2

Permit No. NCG050000
This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other
applicable federal, state. or local law, rule, standard; ordinance, order; judgment, or decree.
SECTION C: PERMIT RENEWAL
Dischargers covered by general permits need not submit new Notices of Intent or renewal
requests unless so directed by the Division. if the Division chooses not to renew a general
permit, all facilities covered under that general permit shall be notified to submit applications for
individual permits or notified to take other appropriate actions at the discretion of the Director.

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION! PLAN
The Permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this general permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum;
the following items:
Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted
equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation
routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s) discharges, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate
storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving
waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices.
(c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas
and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each
outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing
BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants
which could be expected to be present in the stonnwater discharge.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill
impacts.
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be sinned in
accordance with the requirements found in Part Ili, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 5.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The storrwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
Part 11 Page I of 5

Permit No. NCG050000
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination-
(b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment
for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority
chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from
contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be
secured with a locking mechanism) and any stormwater that accumulates in the
containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall
staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prier to release of the accumulated
stonmwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documentinL, the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years.
(c) BMP Summary, A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities
of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site
stormwater sp" ic. Therefore, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may
not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common
elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintcttance and Good Housekceping Program. A preventative
maintenance program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
5. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and
Part II Page 2 of 5

Permit No. NCGO50000
preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel
(or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified.
G. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination; development, implementation. and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall
submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the Plan to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
S. Facility Inspection Progratm. Facilities are required to inspect all stormwater systems on
at least a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once during
the spring (April - June). The inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities
performed shall be documented, recording date and time of inspection, individual(s)
making the inspection and a narrative description of the facility's stormwater control
systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these inspections shall be
incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part II of this permit shall
be performed in addition to facility inspections.
9. Implementation. The permittee shall document all monitoring, measurements,
inspections and maintenance activities and training provided to employees, including the
log of the sampling; data and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with the
industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall
be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or his
authorized representative immediately upon request.
SECTION B: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 1. Qualitative
monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests
are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls does not need to be performed during
a representative storm event.
Part 11 Page 3 of 5

Permit No. NCG050000
Qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and
once in the fall (September - November).

SECTION C: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Facilities which have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring, on -site which uses more than
55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year shall perform
analytical monitoring as specified in Table ?. This monitoring shall be performed at all outfalls
which discharge stormwater runoff from the vehicle maintenance areas.
For each parameter, the arithmetic mean of all analytical sampling results collected during the
coverage of the permit shall be calculated for each individual outfall. The computed arithmetic
mean is then compared to the cut-off concentrations listed in Table 3. If the arithmetic mean is
less than the specified cut-off concentration for a parameter other than pH or within the specified
range for pH only, then the facility is not required to continue annual analytical monitoring for
that parameter (at that outfall) during the remaining coverage of the permit unless a significant
change in facility operations or configuration occurs. If a cut-off concentration results in
discontinued analytical monitoring at an individual discharge outfall, the permittee is required to
maintain facility operations that ensure the continuation of stormwater runoff quality.
The twrmitfee must perform analvtical samt7l1n!z during, the first vear that the facility becomes
subject to this Section C and last vear ofnermit coverage reUardless of cut-off concentration
conditions. Analytical results from sampling during the final year of permit coverage must be
submitted with the permit renewal application. All analytical monitoring shall be performed
during a representative storm event.

If the stormwater runoff is controlled by a stormwater detention pond, a grab sample of the discharge from the
pond shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. If the detention pond discharges only in response
to a storm event exceeding a ten year design storm, then no analytical monitoring is required and only qualitative
monitoring shall be performed.
d' Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge oulfall-(SDO) that discharges
ston-nwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall status
has been granted.
4 For each sampled representative stoma event the total precipitation, storm duration, and total flow must be
