Subject: Name/Ownership Change for Stormwater Permit NCG170220
Mr. Rivers,

We received an invoice paper with the company name "Outdura Corp." marked out and replaced with Sattler Corp. We
do not have a record of a name or ownership change request for this permit, however. Did the company ever submit a
form for that change? If so, do you have a record of that submittal? If not, please fill out the attached form and return
it to us ASAP so that we can process this change.
You requested renewal of this permit electronically (which will happen very soon — either the last day in July or first
week in August). I wanted to get the name change sorted out before those emails and instructions go out. Currently the
permit will be issued to Outdura Corp. because of the information in our database.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Regards,
Bethany

Permit: NCG170220 Owner - Facility: Outdura Corp
Inspection Date: 03/20/2013 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The assistance of Joe Santaloci, Rebecca Walker, and Robert Lial was greatly appreciated during the inspection. The
staff appears to be diligent with regard to facility maintenance and permit compliance.
During the records review, NCDENR staff discovered that Outdura Corp. has been purchased by Sattler Corp. The
ownership was transferred in 2010. Joe Santaloci and Rebecca Walker were asked to complete a Change of Ownership
Form and submit it to the Central Office. A form was provided at the conclusion of the inspection.
It was noted during the inspection that there is minimal industrial exposure at the site. Company representatives were
given an application for a no exposure certification. NCDENR staff advised Mr. Santaloci to explore the conditions for the
no exposure certification and collaborate with company owners to determine if this is a good option for the company.
Additionally, NCDENR staff was unable to identify any industrial exposure associated with outfall #2. Outdura/ Sattler
Corp. staff was encouraged to further investigate the drainage to this outfall. If it is determined that this outfall is indeed
free of industrial exposure then monitoring at this outfall can be discontinued.
As NCDENR staff exited the facility it was noted that a trickle of water is flowing from the cooling tower to an adjacent
drain (this drain and trickle of water is on the opposite side of the tower in relation to the cement basin). This water should
be evaluated to determine if it is condensate or overflow from the tower. If the water is overflow from the tower then it is
considered waste water and should be re -directed so that it enters the sewer system.

Comment: The cooling tower discharge water was noted in a previous inspection as
an illicit discharge. Outdura Corp was instructed to apply for the appropriate permits or
have this water connected to the municipal sewer. The cooling tower discharge water is
now routed to the sewer System.
A trickle of water flowing from the cooling tower to an adjacent drain should be
evaluated to determine if it is condensate or overflow from the tower. If the water is
overflow from the tower then it is considered waste water and should re -directed so that
it enters the sewer system.

SUBJECT: Contact 'information
Shuford Mills, Inc.
Mr. Mark Hawes (Director of Environment and Safety for Shuford Mills,
Inc-) contacted this office and advised that the company failed to make
timely application for renewal of Stormwater COCs due to DWQ's having
mailed renewal notices to nonexistent people. Mr. Hawes stated that NOIs
had been faxed this date and had also been sent by overnight service for
delivery tomorrow morning.
In order to avoid future mishaps, Mr. Hawes requested that all DWQ's
contact information be updated to reflect him as owner and contact for
Shuford Mills, Inc.'s facilities. I attempted to make the requested
changes in DIMS, but apparently do not have authorization to change the
items in DIMS.
Consequently, would you please change "affiliations" in DIMS for your
respective program areas for the following permits? Mr- Hawes

PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to be covered by this General Permit must 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.
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 perrrmittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater 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.
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 stormwater 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 signed in
accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 5.
2. Stonnwater Management Plan. The stormwater 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
Part 11 Page 1 of 5

Permit No. NCG170000
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(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, 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 PIan. 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
Part II Page 2 of 5

Permit No. NCG 170000
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
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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
Part II Page 3 of 5

rermit No. NCG 170000
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.
Qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and once in
the fall (September - November).

l Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) regardless of representative outfall status.
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 below in Table 2. 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 below in Table 3. 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.
Part 11 Page 4 of 5

Permit No. NCG170000
The permittee_ 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
