Your facility was covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCG190043, however, this
permit expired on 8/31/1999. To assure consideration for continuing coverage under your permit, you

permit Renewal Application Form, Supplemental Information request, and a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan Certification for your facility. Filing the application form along with the requested
supplemental information will constitute your application for renewal of this permit. .

PART 1 INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to be covered by this General Permit mast register with the Division of Energy,
Mineral, and Land Resources by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees. '1'he 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 NPI)F.S procedures in 15A NCAC 214
.0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit: should
he made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge.
"I'his General Permit: does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit
until the individual permit has expired or has [icon 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.
If industrial materials and activities are not: exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40
CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NI'I)ES stormwater
discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion
from permitting must: submit a No Exposure Certification NOI form to the Division, must receive
approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge
under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit: until a 'Total Maximum
Daily Load (1'MD1.) for pollutants for stormwater discharges is established. A'I'MDi. sets a
pollutant: -loading limit that affects a watershed, or portion ora watershed, draining to an impaired
water. For stormwater discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this
permit may depend on the facility demonstrating it does not have reasonahle potential to
violate applicable water quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If
the Division determines that discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard
violations, the facility shall apply for an individual permit 1 HO days prior to the expiration date of
this General Permit. Once that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have
coverage under this General Permit. Note that the pe:rmittee must identify impaired waters
(scheduled for'FMDI, development) and waters already subject to a'1'MDL. in the Site Overview, as
outlined in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP), Part 11, Section A.1, A list of approved

materials and processes to rainfall and runoff flows. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or
fueling operations, In areas where elirnination of exposure is not practical, this review shell
document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential
contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials including petroleum products; storage in ank
amount of Section 313 of "Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
(SARA) water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in
order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or
summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater convevance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated
valves or other similar devices, which shall he secured closed with a locking mechanism.
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 he released if feund
to be uncontaminated by any material. 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 (5) years, I -or the purposes of effective stormwater
pollution prevention the SPP1' is intended to be broader and more comprehensive than a
federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC). For facilities subject
to a federal SPCC plan, any portion of the federal SPCC plan fully compliant: with the
requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices
(13MPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on
the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants
to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormcvater
discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for
installation and implementation of the selected site I3MPs. 'The BMP Summary shall be
reviewed and updated annually,
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures, The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures
(SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SITP shall he
identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRY and signed and dated by each individual
Part 11 Page 2 of 10

Permit No. NCG190000
acknowledging their responsibilities for the procedures. A responsible person shall be on -site
at all times during facility operations that have increased potential to contaminate stormwater
runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP
must be site stormwater specific. "Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to
completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRI'. The common element's of the SPCC.
with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SI'R1'.
d. Solvent Management Plan. The Solvent Management Plan shall be incorporated as a separate
Chapter into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention flan (SPIT). The SolventManagement Plan shall
include an annually updated and quantified inventory of the solvent's present on site during; the
previous three years; a narrative description of the facility locations and uses of the solvents, the
method of disposal including quantities disposed on -site and off -site; and the management
procedures and engineering measures for assuring that solvents do not spill or leak into
stormwater. If solvents are not: stored or used onsite, then the owner must certify that in the SHIP.
DE'MLR may at its discretion require submittal, review, and approval of the Solvent Management
Plan. The discharger shall include the following signed certification statement on each discharge
monitoring report: "Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for
managing compliance with the permit requirement for managing solvents, I certify that to the best
of my knowledge and belief, no leak, spill, or dumping of concentrated solvents into the stormwater
or onto areas which are exposed to rainfall or stormwater runoff has occurred since filing the last
discharge monitoring report. I further certify that this facility is implementing all the provisions of
the Solvent Management: Plan included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan."
Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance
and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. 'I he program shall
address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site
and adjacent surface waters and %vetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage
areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing; structural 13MPs. '['he program
shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping; activities of

compliance with the established schedules for inspections,-maintcriance, and housekeeping
shall be recorded and maintained in the SPIT.
Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part
of the Preventative Maintenance and (rood Housekeeping Program at: a minimum on a semi-
annual schedule, once (luring the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the
second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless
performed more frequently than semi-annually). 'These facility inspections are different: from,
and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required
in Part I[ 13, C, and I) of this permit.
Employee Training. "Training; programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and
cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have
the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The annual training shall be documented by

The benchmark values in Table 3 and Table 4 are not enforceable permit limits. An exceedance of a
stormwater benchmark value is rota permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedances
.is outlined in this permit is a violation of perrnit conditions. The benchmarks are intended to reduce
polluted discharges by triggering the permittee's required response actions under Ticrs One, Two, and
'l'hree. See below the descriptions ofTiers One,'I'wo, and Three response actions.
Tier One
If - The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value for any parameter at any outfall;
Then: The permitter; shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection within two weeks of receiving the sample results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
:3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection.
5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SI'PP. Include the date and value of the
benchmark exceedance, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected
feasible actions, and the date the selected feasible actions were implemented.
6. Note: I:xceedances fora different parameter separately trigger the tiered response requirements.
Part II Page 7 of 1.0 Pages

Permit No. NCG 190000
Tier Two
If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark values
for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in 'tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters at every outfall where a
sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analyl.lcal and
qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark
values.
3. I€'no discharge Occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No ]"low" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR
Regional Office Ingineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Office Engineer may direct the
response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three. The permittee will he
considered to he obligated under the `Pier Three provisions.
5, Maintain a record of the `Pier Two response in the SHIP,
6. Continue Tier 'l'wo response obligations throughout. the permit. COC renewal process.
Tier Three
If the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value for
any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR
Regional Office. Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. DEMLR
may but is not limited to:
• require the permittee to revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all parameters, including requiring sampling of additional or substitute parameters;
• rescind coverage under the General Permit, and require that the permittee apply for an individual
stormwater discharge permit;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls,
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on
receiving waters;
• require the permittee implement: site modifications to qualify fora No Exposure I:?xclusion; or
• re uirc the permitlee to continue Tier Three obligations throe h the ermit COC renewal process.
Failure to monitor and report Der the hermit terms may result in the Division requirine
monthly monitorine and reportine for all parameters for a specified time Deriod. Lack of a
discharge from an outfall for the monitoring period, or inability to collect a sample because of
adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period will not constitute failure to monitor, as
long as those conditions are reported on the monitoring period DMIl and noted in the SPPP. (See
Adverse Weather in Definitions.) Similarly, sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal
operating hours.
However, if a facility is inactive for an extended period of time, the permittee must request, and
obtain, dormant site status from the DENIER Regional Engineer in order to he excused from
sampling during the dormant period. The DEMLR letter granting dormant status must he kept. with
the SPPP, and available for inspection.

In the event: that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting
under'l'ier'I'wo or'l'icr'1'hrec, DEMI.R's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent
rcissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.
'I'he permittee must report all results from all valid discharge samples taken during each monitoring
period. However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and 'Tiered response actions, the permittee
shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to implement a quick and inexpensive way to evaluate the
effectiveness of the permittce's SPPP and to identify the potential for new sources of stormwater
pollution. QuallLative monitoring of stormwater discharge outf<alls must be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed as specified in Table S with
each required analytical monitoring event: whether semi-annual or more frequently as may be
subsequently required under'Tier'1'wo,'1'ier'I'hree, or per the Qualitative Monitoring Response
requirements bolow. Inability to monitor because of adverse weather or lack of discharge during the
monitoring period must be documented in the SNIP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring
Report (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only sLormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs) discharging
stormwater associated with industrial activity mist be monitored (See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at an SDOs, the permittee shall document the suspected
cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery. 'This documentation will
be maintained with the SPPP

continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal process.
Z Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall
(SDO) associated with industrial activity, regardless of representative outfall status (ROS).
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless addit.ionalsampling has been
instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittec's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater 13M1's are ineffective, or that
significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate
the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per (he
Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation,
and response actions shall he kept. in the SPPP.
Qualitative Monitoring Response
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying the potential
for new sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permitt:ee's response to pollution, If
the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, DEMLR
may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some
or all parameters (analytical or qualitative);
• require the permit -tee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

DISCIIARGE TREATED WASHWATER TO SEH11TR SY.STIYAl
A marina may be able to connect and discharge washwater directly to a sanitary sewer. "Phis
requires a permit from the local sewer authority or sewage treatment plant and pretreatment
(using any of the above listed methods) before disposal. 'Elie sewer authority may require regular
discharge monitoring and may require a certified operator to run the treatment system.
The following treatment technologies may be considered for pretreatment prior to hauling or
sewer disposal:
Technology
Ilo►v it ►vorks and effecliveness
6,kxtrucuagulation
Wastewater travels through a series of cells which apply an electrical current to the
wastewater stream. 'the resulting electromotive force allows certain compounds to approach
a more stable state, which for elements and compounds, is typically a solid form. The solid
forms of" the contaminants are then removed by settling or filtration. E3lectrocoagulation
systems remove contaminants within a range of influent pollutant concentrations. ']'his
process effectively removes emulsified oils and hydrocarbons, suspended solids, and heavy
metals.
Filtration
Nlechanically separates various pollutants froin a waste stream. Uilter media and
manufacturers vary, and certain media are appropriate for particular compounds, so a
marina must choose the most appropriate filter for their needs. For example, activated
carbon filter media efficiently remove sediment and volatile organic compounds, but not
inorganic compounds like; metals. Salts are not removed by physical filtration and will build
up over time. Therefore, filter cartridges must be replaced after periods of use and may
occasionally need to replace used washwater with fresh water.
Chemical
Chemicals are added to a waste stream to remove particular pollutants of concern through
Treatment
chemical or mechanical processes. i:ixamples include pl-I adjustment to neutralize
wastewater, pH adjustment to facilitate the precipitation of metals or the addition of
flocculants to improve settling of solids. The quantity of chernicals fed into the treatment
process may change depending on the strength of pollutants entering the treatment system.
Chemical treatment is generally effective; however, it can be cost prohibitive and require
properly trained operators. If not recycled, the sludge can be dewatered and disposed as a
solid waste following state hazardous materials laws.
Biological
Biological treatment uses bacteria that feed on organic materials, reducing pollutant load,
Trealmeot
specifically nutrients, biochemical oxygen demanding (130D) substances, and oil and
grease. Biological treatment is generally used to treat sanitary waste streams and requires a
constant source of organic matter and therefore may not be suitable for treatment of wash
wastewater.

Marinas ColiStrttet or use existing impervious areas with berms to collect washwater. A licensed
wastewater hauler then removes the collecleci waste for proper disposal in a permitted treatment
or disposal facility. Requires an industrial wastewater holding tank that is in compliance with
state regulations; which may include constructing a berm or double wall around the tank. inlay
be most cost effective for smaller yards washing few boats.
CI' ASP. THE ACTIVITY
l liminating the boat washing service to cease the discharge of washwater may be the easiest and
most cost-effective option for some marinas. This may depend on the number of boats washed,
the amount earned front boat washing or the site of the marina.

Boat Bottom Washing: Regulations and Solutions
Boat maintenance activities include abrasive blasting, pressure washing, hull scraping and
sanding, and hull painting. 'These activities can release paint chips, paint liquids, copper, zinc,
lead and a host of other contaminants into surrounding land and waters. Aquatic life may ingest
heavy metals, either killing them or allowing the introduction of these contaminants into the food
chain. Contaminants that settle into bottom sediments can increase the cost of dredging by
making it more difficult to find a suitable disposal site for the dredged material.
The Forth Carolina Division of- Water Quality identifies pressure washwater as industrial
(process) wastewater. Therefore, the discharge of pressure washing wastewater to surface waters,
a storm sewer, sanitary sewer, or the ground is a rcgul,sted activity requiring a permit from the
NCD> NR, Division of Water Quality.
State law N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 (a)(G) states that no person shall cause or permit any
waste, directly or indirectly, to be discharged to waters o_f the Stale (above or below
ground) in violation of water quality standards.
State rule 15A NCAC 71-1.0208(b)(5)(Nt) guides the maintenance activities that take place
in boatyards: "Boat maintenance areas shall be designed so that all scraping,
sandblasting, and painling will be done over dry land with adequate containment devices
to prevent entry of waste, materials into ac jacent waters. "
All pressure wash facilities must develop a system to collect wastewater for treatment, recycling
or offsite disposal, "lb meet requirements, significant pretreatment of the wastewater prior to
discharge is required, regardless of the chosen discharge option (recycling, treatment or offsite
disposal).
All pressure washing waste water must be collected and handled in an acceptable manner.
Vessels must be washed over an impervious pad that can collect all wastewater and hull cleaning
over the water must be prohibited.
Facilities will need to evaluate the number of boats washed (wastewater volume), site
characteristics, sewer availability, Cost, staff ability and other factors before selecting one of the
following options recommended by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality:
RECYCLE WASHWATE R FUZZ REUSE:
Recycle systems use one of the following methods to treat wastewater for reuse as washwater.
The wastewater is collected without discharge through a closed loop recycle/reclamation system.
Since the system is closed -loop, it does not require a discharge permit, operational permit or
certification. However, a licensed hauler will have to periodically remove residual wastewater
and solids. Another concern of recycling systcrns is odor, which can be controlled by
recirculating water through a UV/ozone chamber when the system is not in use.
Note: Qverspray must be controlled and is inchided in the wastewater- collection and management require»cents
described above. This is especially important when using recycling equipment where contamination of the
ground orsuiface waters may occur from spra.07g contaminated ivater.

OBTAIN A SF,I'ARATE NI'DE:S I'ERi1 IT
A marina may apply for a separate 1TYllLS permit from the Division of Water Quality that will
authorize the marina's wastewater discharge. A marina with a separate NPDE�S permit will have
to limit the mass and/or concentration of discharged pollutants, monitor discharges and submit
monitoring reports. TMarinas mast pay at) annual fee based on pollutant load. ']'his is not a
recommended option since water will need to have significant treatment in order to meet surface
water standards. These discharging wastewater treatment systems require a licensed operator.
CLEAN MARINA BEST 1VIANAGENIEN"I, PRACTI.C.ES:
• Prohibit underwater bottom cleaning, hull scraping, or any in -water process that removes
paint From the boat bottoms,
• Designate a boat maintenance area designed to minimize pollutant spread by containing
all waste and wastewater. Activities restricted to this area should include abrasive
blasting, pressure washing, hull scraping and sanding, and hull painting.
• Pressure -wash over a bermed impernicable surface that allows wastewater to be captured
and filtered for proper treatment or disposal. Clearly mark designated work and pressure
wash areas.
• Cover maintenance area with tarp when not in use to prevent rainwater from entering the
area. Berm or curb the area to enclose materials io prevent runoff.
• Prevent overspray by performing abrasive blasting within an enclosure, windbreak or
plastic tarp in the designated maintenance area,
• Collect pressure wastewater: Do not discharge wash water. Pressure washwater should be
collected for pretreatment prior to reuse, permitted discharge, or disposal. Vessels should
be washed over an impervious pad that can collect all process wastewater.
• Treat water as industrial wastewater and dispose of properly (see above) or drain to
storage tank for further recycling, treatment and disposal.
• Cover storm drains near the work area to prevent waste from entering the water system.
• Use dustless sanders. Encourage boaters and contractors to do the same.
• Collect maintenance debris daily such as sandings, paint chips, fiberglass, and dispose of
properly. Clean up designated area prior to rain to avoid stormwater runoff issues.
• Minimize the amount of water used when boats are pressure washed. Use low volume,
high pressure washing systems.
