Subject: General Stormwater Permit Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NCGO80259
EPES Transport Systems, Inc. — Guilford County
Dear Mr. Huffman:
:On March 16, 2009, Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Stormwater Permit
Inspection at EPES Transport Systems located at 3400 Edgefield Court in Greensboro, North
Carolina. This facility holds General Stormwater Permit No. NCG080259 under the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to discharge stormwater associated with
activities that have Vehicle Maintenance Areas. Jeff Gerlock of Blue Ridge Geological Services
was present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: a review of
facility files and self -monitoring data and an inspection of the facility's storage areas and
discharge points. This. particular inspection evaluated five (5) areas, and observations from
each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
The permit became effective November 1, 2007 and expires October 31, 2012. The new permit
includes some changes. Analytical monitoring is now required on a semi-annual basis. If the
.. monitoring results exceed the designated benchmark values .(Part II, Table,3),. you are required
r_, to increase monitoring, management actions, and record ,keeping according. to the schedule,,
described in the permit. t
2. Records/Reports
As required by the Permit, the facility has a complete Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP), that was available for review during the inspection. Blue Ridge Geological Services
created the, SPPP and add revisions as neccesary. The SPPP appeared to be thorough and
complete, including a location map of the outfalls and a site plan listing potential stormwater
pollutants and best management practices used at the site. Employee Training was last
conducted in January 2006. Please be advised that Employee Training is an, annual
requirement of. the Stormwater permit and should be scheduled as soon as possible.
3. Facility Site Review
The site has two aboveground storage tanks with secondary containment, one for new motor oil
and one for used waste oil. There is also a covered bin for used oil filters. Diesel fuel its
contained in an underground storage tank. There are two bays devoted to diesel fueling; one of
them is covered. All truck maintenance activities occur indoors, as does truck washing. All of

the wash water from the truck wash bay is collected in floor drains and directed through an
oil/water separator and ultimately to the City of Greensboro for treatment.
4. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The site is designed for Stormwater to pass over the property via sheet flow and empty into a
large side ditch. The ditch is directed towards a large Stormwater pond that discharges at the
edge of the property. Therefore, this is the site's only out -fall. Stormwater from the property
discharges to Old Mill Creek and Brush Creek (Class WS-Ill, NSW) in the Cape Fear River
Basin.
5: Self -Monitoring_ Program
Analytical sampling has not been performed at the site since 2001 (analyzed by R&A Labs),
because Mr. Gerlock has been unable to detect a discharge from the Stormwater pond during a
representative storm event. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative
storm event, which is defined in the permit as a "storm event that measures greater than 0.1
inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring
greater than 0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 90 consecutive
hours of no precipitation."
Qualitative monitoring requirements of the permit have been performed and documentation of
these events was available for review during the inspection. Mr. Gerlock also performs an
annual SPPP and site check of the property, examining fuel storage, transformers, generator, oil
filter bin, etc. These forms were available for review during the inspection.
If you have any questions concerning this letter or the attached inspection report, please
contact Ms. Graznak or me at [phone].

it was good to meet you at the site on Monday. I hope all was in order_ just to let you know, I have
scheduled a stormwater training session with Epes personnel for next Wednesday at 9 am. also, I plan
to sample the outfall for the first period of 2009 during the next representative event (hopefully next
week). I looked back at my records and noticed that several attempts were made in 2008 and 2007 to
collect stormwater samples. no discharge was observed from the outfall on these occasions. we will
use the new forms for qualitative monitoring of the outfall during future events. call or email if you
have questions or need additional info.

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG0800O0- This permit expires
on August 31. 2002. The Division staff is currently in the process of rewriting this permit and is scheduled to have
the permit reissued by late summer of 2002. Once the permit is reissued, your facility would he eligible for
continued coverage under the reissued permit.
In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit. you must apply to the Division of Water

coverage under the general permit.
Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility
without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and
could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
Please note that recent federal legislation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of industrial
facilities in any of the 1 1 categoties of "storm water discharges associated with industrial activity." (except
construction activities). If you feel your facility can certify a condition of "no exposure", i.e. the facilty industrial
materials and operations are not exposed to stormwater, you can apply for the no exposure exclusion. For additional
information contact the Central Office Stormwater Staff member listed below or check the Stormwater &c General
Permits Unit Web Site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc-us/su/stormwater.html
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated. please complete the enclosed
