Permit: NCGI O0234 Owner -Facility: Dale west
Inspection Date: 06/05/2014 Inspection Type: Technical Assistance Reason for Visit: Other
Inspection Summary:
This inspection was conducted to provide technical assistance.on.the newly aquired (May.$, 2014) general stormwater
_permit. Both site locations (auto storage location and auto stripping/office location) were inspected. Both site locations
were clean and -in good -condition. -All fluids are stored inside -and -either recycled on -site or hauled -by -a-contractor: There -
are no inlets at the auto stripping location.
Outfall #1 drains Lot 1 and flows across approximately 500 feet of undisturbed grass before the downstream tributary is
reached. Lot 1 contains autos that are drained and ready to crush. There is little to no potential for offsite transport.
Outfall #2 flows directly from Lot 2 (mostly drained vehicles and a few autos ready for set up)to Lot 3 (all autos are drained
and ready to strip) and Outfall #3. Per this inspection, it was assessed that only Outfall #3 (draining Lots #2 and #3)
would require analytical monitoring. If two subsequent years show no exceedances of any parameters, then a request to
rescind the permit may be submitted by the facility.
Outfall #1 should be documented in the SPPP as "no flow" and Outfall #2 as flowing to the monitoring point of Outfall #3.
An SPPP binder document will be compiled by Dale West to comply with this permit.

Laura,
Yes, I went with Jonathan on this visit. He got a complaint and checked it out. They did not have a permit. There are
two different locations of the business.
He told the owner to fill out a NOI and send in. We toured the site and I'm sure Jonathan sent him info from the
website.
I will be back later if you want to discuss.

Okay — here's your quiz for the day and let's see what you can do with this one!
We received a complaint call and Jonathon and Tim Fox went out to investigate. They found no problems, and in fact
found a well run operation. But the West's filed a general permit and obtained the permit on May 8, 2014. Dale West
then called me to ask what to do next. I went to the site yesterday and here's what I found:
1. The complaint apparently came from a "crazy" guy they employed for 3 weeks before they fired him. He was
mad and called us.
2. The site is well run and clean. All the liquid materials are kept indoors and all liquids are recycled on site, except
for the used oil and transmission fluid which is pumped by a recycler for offsite use.
3. Per the permit, they have 3 outfalls.
4. Outfall #1 only gets flow from lot #1; all vehicles in Lot #1 are drained and ready to crush and go into a container
to be hauled off. The pipe has a lot of built-up sediment and it will not be feasible to get a clean sample. It also
flows across his grassed lawn for about 600+ feet before the unnamed tributary to Dix Creek. I cannot see that
this pipe could be sampled or has an impact, There is no evidence of flow across the grass.
I think this might not be a potential point source discharge to surface waters. Check out our'Stormwater Point
Source Guidance' on the intranet (http://portal.ncdenr,org/group/ir/stormwater-guidance). A grassed lawn

A�
with that much length to travel —unless it's in the flood plain or a ditch conveyance --provides a lot of space for
infiltration. You could argue that this is not subject to the NPDES stormwater program.
5. Outfall #2 drains Lot #2 directly to Lot #3. Most of the vehicles on Lot #2 are also drained; they have one or two
cars here that get pulled into the shop as quickly as possible to drain them (usually within a couple days). Outfall
#2 is a_dirt channel and pretty impossible to sample due to the topography.
6. Outfall,#.3rdra'ins.Lot #.3tand �Lot .#2._Lot #3_is_all drained vehicles -ready to pull apart. The Outfall is also a dirt
channel and little evidence of any flows across Lot #3. It will also be very hard to sample and I doubt will provide
a clean sample. Outfall #3 goes through their own property and through a mature woods at least 600 ft to -a
-
small unnamed trib to Dix Creek.
If I interpreted 5-6 correctly, Outfall #2 actually flows -> to -> Outfall #3. Is that correct? Then maybe only
Outfall 43 is the potential point source here. But then, it also flows through woods for at least 600' before
reaching a tributary? Flow through a wooded area is all but certain to channelize in more than one place;
however, that's a very long distance. If flow from the outfall is outside the flood plain for most of that distance,
again you might argue this is not a point source discharge of stormwater, either... and therefore not subject to
the NPDES stormwater program.
The entire site is bermed on the perimeter. and between the Lots.
There are no inlets anywhere on the site, nor actual outlet structures such as concrete aprons, pipes, etc.
Buncombe County does not favor auto recycling and they have been denied a permit to add onto this facility. So
they have no way of growing this site.
In truth, I find this site poses no risk to anything and there are much bigger fish to fry up here. It is a well run, clean site
and no expansion potential. But they already have the permit, so I helped him figure out how to put together his SPPP
and he's ready to go on that.
Now for the question: do they have to do the analytical monitoring given the above conditions? If so, can I guide them
to sample outfall #3 only as a representative outfall? He would collect the sample himself given his parents live on site
(one reason it's so clean), and then send it to Pace.
Your thoughts?
A couple ways to handle this I think. You've done a great job of considering other factors on which to base BPJ (because
this kind of scenario is a tough call -- particularly if you're dealing with a really dirty operation). You've established low
risk to surface water impacts, and that's important. So, now that they are under a permit, do they have to do analytical
monitoring? Technically, yes, the permit binds them to do analytical monitoring requirements. If there's a discharge. If
not, they must report "No Flow" semi-annually.
Option #1: Keep them under the permit, have them report "No Discharge" unless for some strange reason their site
circumstances change. It sounds like Outfall #3 is really the only one that _might_ count anyway, so I'm not sure
bothering with ROS is even worth it. The benefit to maintaining permitted status in a gray area like this? This facility will
(hopefully) remain attentive to stormwater pollution prevention. Option #2: ARO is comfortable in their determination
that none of the outfalls qualifies as a potential point source discharge to surface waters, and the operators should be
advised that the NPDES program does not apply. In that case, they should request to rescind the permit. NPDES
stormwater requires [industrial activity in a category that's subject to NPDES] + [point source discharge]. We have
authority to designate an activity outside the standard categories that poses a risk to surface waters in the regs, but we
can't force a permit on someone who doesn't have a point source. It's just not always easy to be definitive about that
part, though. So, we use our best judgment and go from there.
I hope that helps, Darlene. Let us know if you have other questions. -Bg

Inspection Date: 06/05/2014 Inspection Type: Technical Assistance Reason for Visit: Other
Inspection Summary:
This inspection was conducted to provide technical assistance on the newly aquired (May 8, 2014) general stormwater
permit. Both,site_locations (auto storage location and auto stripping/office location) were inspected. Both site locations
were clean and in good condition. All fluids are stored inside and either recycled on site or hauled by a contractor. There
are no inlets at -the auto stripping location._-
Outfall #1 drains Lot 1 and flows across approximately 500 feet of undisturbed grass before the downstream tributary is
reached. Lot 1 contains autos that are drained and ready to crush. There is little to no potential for offsite transport.
Outfall 42 flows directly from Lot 2 (mostly drained vehicles and a few autos ready for set up)to Lot 3 (all autos are drained
and ready to strip) and Outfall #3. Per this inspection, it was assessed that only Outfall #3 (draining Lots #2 and 43)
would require analytical monitoring. If two subsequent years show no exceedances of any parameters, then a request to
rescind the permit may be submitted by the facility.
Outfall #1 should be documented in the SPPP as "no flow" and Outfall #2 as flowing to the monitoring point of Outfall #3.
An SPPP binder document will be compiled by Dale West to comply with this permit.

Bill,
This facility is in ARO (see below: 35,617350,-82.675384). Jonathan Stepp and Tim Fox visited this facility on
11/25/2014 in response to a complaint. Based on the visit, the facility was instructed to submit an NO[ (pending). This
site appears to drain to an unnamed trib that flows to Dix Creek, classification C. The unnamed trib is approximately 600
feet from outfalls. We recommend issuance of the general permit. Once the permit is issued we will schedule an
inspection.
Note that this company has another facility located at 852 New Leicester Hwy that was also visited on the same day. it
appears that this facility may qualify for a "no exposure" based on observations during the site visit. I will follow up with
Mr. West on this issue.
Thanks,
Laura

Please review the attached NOI application with the objective of responding to me with a recommendation to issue the
permit. I recognize that you may not visit each new permittee during this NOI review, but it affords you the opportunity
to log the permit into your regional database and add the facility to a future monitoring and compliance visit schedule.
Therefore, your recommendation now to issue the permit serves as your acknowledgement that (1) the facility is located
in your region, (2) that there are no current complaints outstanding about the facility that have not been dealt with, and
(3) that the facility may ultimately be inspected by the regional staff. I've also attached a scanned copy of the NOI and a
location map for your review.

Bill,
This facility is in ARO (see below: 35.617350, -82.675384). Jonathan Stepp and Tim Fox visited this facility on
11/25/2014 in response to a complaint. Based on the visit, the facility was instructed to submit an NOI (pending). This
site appears to drain to an unnamed trib that flows to Dix Creek, classification C. The unnamed trib is approximately 600
feet from outfalls. We recommend issuance of the general permit. Once the permit is issued we will schedule an
inspection.
Note that this company has another facility located at 852 New Leicester Hwy that was also visited on the same day. It
appears that this facility may qualify for a "no exposure" based on observations during the site visit. I will follow up with
Mr. West on this issue.
Thanks, y
Laura

I will try and find out how we are handling this. However, I may wait and discuss with Laura on 2/20 when she returns
because I don't want to send it the wrong direction. It will be handled, though. Thanks!

Jonathan Stepp, Asheville Regional Office:
Please review the attached N01 application with the objective of responding to me with a recommendation to issue the
permit. I recognize that you may not visit each new permittee during this NOI review, but it affords you the opportunity

to log the permit into your regional database and add the facility to a future monitoring and compliance visit schedule.
Therefore, your recommendation now to issue the permit serves as your acknowledgement that (1) the facility is located
in your region, (2) that there are no current complaints outstanding about the facility that have not been dealt with, and
(3) that the facility may ultimately be inspected by the regional staff. I've also attached a scanned copy of the NOI and a
location map for your review.
