Subject: Representative Outfall Status Request
1-40 Used Auto Parts
NPDES Stormwater Permit NCG100074
Burke County
Dear Mr. Hemmings:
Staff with the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Energy, Mineral & hand Resources
has reviewed your request received on July 30, 2018 for a determination that stormwater
discharge outfall 2 be granted representative outfall status for stormwater outfalls 1 and 3.
Based on the information provided and the site inspection conducted on October 09, 2018,
representative outfall status is denied concerning outfall 1. However, we are approving the
request that outfall 2 be granted representative outfall status concerning outfall 3 (See
attached map).
In accordance with 40 CER §122.21(g)(7), you are authorized to sample outfalls number 1
and 2 as representative outfalls. This approval is effective with the next sampling event.
Please be reminded that the permit requires Qualitative (visual) Monitoring to be
performed at all stormwater discharge outfalls, regardless of representative outfall status.
Please remember that any actions you initiate in response to benchmark exceedances as
directed in the tiered response provisions of your permit must address all drainage areas
represented by outfall 1 and 2, where appropriate.

if a facility is required to sample multiple discharge location's with very similar stormwater discharges, the
permittee may petition the Director for Representative Outfall Status (ROS). DWQ may grant Representative
Outfall Status if stormwater discharges from a single outfall are representative of discharges from multiple
outfalls. Approved ROS will reduce the number of outfalls where analytical sampling requirements apply.
if Representative Outfall Status is granted, ALL outfalls are still subject to the qualitative monitoring
requirements of the facility's permit —unless otherwise allowed by the permit (such as NCG020000) and DWQ
approval. The approval letter from DWQ must be kept on site with the facility's Storm water Pollution
Prevention Plan. The facility must notify DWQ in writing if any changes affect representative status.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area (seepage 3).

(b) a narrative description of the In -plant locations and uses of the toxic organic compounds,
the method of disposal including quantities disposed on- and off -site; and
(c) the management procedures and engineering measures for assuring that toxic organics do
not spill or leak into stormwater.
DWQ may at its discretion require submittal, review and approval of the Solvent Management Plan
as a condition of continuing the TTO sampling waiver. Please note this document is intended to serve
in lieu of the facility's Solvent Management Plan, as the facility does not store or utilize organic
solvents in their on -site operations.
Corporate official Certificorlon
"Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for managing compliance with
the permit monitoring requirement for total toxic organics (TTO), 1 certify that to the best of my
knowledge and belief, no leak, spill or dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the stormwater
or onto areas which are exposed to rainfall or stormwater runoff has occurred or will have the
potential to occur at the facility given the current site operations."

COC Number NCGI00074
Burke County
Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG100000
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 (COC)
• A copy of General Permit NCG100000
• 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
controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself
with all the changes in the reissued permit. Your facility has six (6) months from the time of receipt of the
permit to update your current SPPP to reflect all new permit requirements.
The first sample period of your permit begins January 1, 2013. Your facility must sample a "measureable
storm event" beginning during the periods beginning January 1 and July 1 of every year (or, if applicable,
report "No Flow," as outlined in Part 111, Section E). Also, please note that Tier 3 Actions in Part it of your
permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four occasions beginning on the effective date of this
permit and do not count prior exceedances.
The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last COC was issued are noted either in the
Draft Permit Fact Sheet that accompanied the public notice (http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wA/ws/s ucurrent-
notice ), or in the Response to Comments / Summary of Changes and Technical Bulletin documents that are
posted on the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website with the new General Permit. Please visit
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw (click on 'General Permits' tab) to review that information
for your specific General Permit carefully.

Some of the changes include:
Part II:
• 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 &, C: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/I for HQW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters applies to these
more sensitive waters.
• Sections 8, 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 6, 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,

Dear Mr. Hemmings:
Enclosed please find a copy of the report for the Compliance Evaluation Inspection
conducted on August 16,_2003. The Compliance Evaluation Inspection was conducted by
James R Reid of the Asheville Regional Office. As a result of the facility's overall
condition and improvements that had been made since this agency's previous inspection
(February 23, 2006), the facility was conditionally judged to be in Compliance with permit
N CG 100074.
In order to insure that the compliant status is maintained, attention to at least the
following items is required:
The laboratory report for sampling EACH of the four outfall locations must be
maintained in 1-40 Auto Parts File, and 1-40 Auto Parts MUST submit a monitoring
report form for EACH outfali location.
Analytical results for ETHYLENE GLYCOL must be generated and reported.
Semi-annual QUALITATIVE (observational, Part 11 page 5 of the permit) monitoring
must be recorded and maintained in the facility's file.
After complete monitoring data is generated, the facility may request"
representative outfall" status (Part III, page 8 of the permit) so that analytical sampling is
not required for each outfall. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional
observations and comments.

Part II Page 1 of 6 Pages

Permit No. vCG 100000
(a) Feasibility Study. A review ol'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 f11 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, prior to release of the accumulated
stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting 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.
3. 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 specific. 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 Maintenance and Good Housekeeping 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.
Part II Page 2 of 6 Pages

Permit No. NCG100000
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
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.
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.
8. Facility Inspection Program. 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: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
Permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater subject to the provisions of this permit.
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified below in Table 1.
Part 11 Page 3 of 6 Pages

Permit No. NCGI00W
For each parameter, the arithmetic mean of all analytical sampling results collected during the
coverage of the perrnit shall be calculated for each individual outfall. The computed arithmetic
mean is then compared to the cut-off concentrations listed below in Table 2. if the arithmetic
mean is less than the specified cut-off concentration for a given parameter, 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 pertnittee must perform analytical sampling during the first and last year of the permit
coverage regardless of cut-off concentration conditions. Analytical results from sampling during
the final year of the permit coverage must be submitted with the permit renewal application. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event.

2 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.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative
outfall status has been granted.
4 For each sampled representative storm event the total precipitation, storm duration, and total flow must be
monitored. Fatal flow shall be either; (a) measured continuously, (b) calculated based on the amount of area
draining to the outfall, the amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of rain fall, or (c)
estimated by the measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event.
For purposes of this permit the list of Total Toxic Organics is that list as stated in Appendix D, Table I1 of
Chapter 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 122. For facilities that develop a solvent management plan
to be incorporated into the stormwater pollution prevention plan may make a request to D`vQ that monitoring of
