As explained to Mr. Boone, most of these items will be addressed when the stormwater pollution prevention plan is re -written to reflect the requirements of the new general stormwater permit, which we had anticipated initiating after collecting two sets of analytical data to fully evaluated current BMPs. Unfortunately, we did not have a qualifying storm event with a discharge over the last half of 2010 (see attached WS MET Data) and therefore did not have the data nceded to complete our evaluation. As for a detailed response for each deficiency/discrepancy, refer to the attached table. If you need any additional information or have any questions concerning the above matter, I can be reached via e-mail (O ine =ar u',onunisourcese.com) or phone (919.989.3102).

Therefore, it is not anticipated that secondary containment drainage will be required. However, in the event containment structures are used in the future that could collect precipitation, this procedure shall be followed. After.rainfalls, containment areas shall be inspected for rainwater, if and when rainwater is standing in the containment areas, the procedure for secondary containment drainage is as follows: The General Manager shall visually observe standing water for evidence of oil, sheens, color, foam and determine if water may be drained. 2. 1f no evidence of contamination is observed, the drainage valve may be unlocked and the water may be drained. 3. if evidence of contamination is observed, inspect the tanks, containers and/or equipment for leaks. Estimate the quantity of water to be discharged. Obtain a water sample if necessary. Arrange for proper disposal of the water. 4. Close and lock drainage valve after drainage is completed. 5. Document draining and subsequent inspection, and maintain documentation in Appendix 11. 3.3 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES The facility operator shall review the Best Management Practices (BMPs) for applicability and feasibility. 13MPs that are applicable and feasible for the facility shall be selected and scheduled for implementation. BMPs not selected shall be documented as to why it was either not applicable or feasible. Refer to Section 2.4 for potential sources controlled. r « •+r • , rr it , ".I ,1 ..

Approximate drainage patterns are indicated on Figure 2. The eastern half of the site drains to various drop inlets and ditches that connect to catch basins and eventually discharge at OutfaIls 001, 002 and 003 to an unnamed tributary to Kernersvillc Lake. The northwestern portion of the site, as well as the ASR Monofill and the Soil Borrow Area, drains through various ditches and catch basins and eventually discharges at Ouifall 004 to an unnamed tributary to Kerersville Lake. The ASR Monofill has another catch basin that receives run-off only from the capped northern slope of the monofill. The discharge from that catch basin is addressed under the facility's solid Nvaste permit. The southern portion of the site drains to various drop inlets and ditches that connect to two catch basins and eventually discharges at Outfali 005 to an unnamed tributary to Kerners Mill Creek. The southwestern portion of the site drains by overland flow and through a catch basin and eventually discharges at Outfall 006 to an unnamed tributary to Kerersville Lake. Storm water outfalls are indicated on Figures 1 and 2 and are as folloNvs: Outfall Latitude Longitude Receiving Water Body 001 36 ° 08' 20" N 900 05' 58" W Tributary to Kemersville Lake 002 36 ° 08' 26" N 800 06' 0 1 " W Tribut2a to Kemersville Lake .003 360 08' 32" N 80° 06' 05" W Tributary to Kemersville Lake 004 36 ° 08' 39" N 80 ° 06' 09" W Tributwy to Kerersville Lake 005 360 08' 13" N .80- 06' 18" W Tributary to Kemers Mill Ck. 006 36 ° 08' 24" N 80 ° 06' 11" W Tribe to Kemersville Lake e facility has been evaluated for the presence of non -storm water discharges. The facility has no unpernvtted discharges to subsurface storm water conveyances, and this evaluation was based on a review of the facility and operations. The facility wash bay has a grease trap and is connected to the municipal sanitary sewer. No testing for the presence of non -storm water discharges was required. The facility does not have any process wastewater discharges authorized under an existing NPDES permit. According to Atlantic Scrap & Processing, LLC personnel, a certification for the non -storm water discharge evaluation was previously submitted to the NCDENR. 2.3.4 Spill History The facility has had no spill events for 3 years priorto the date of the Notice of Intent (NOI}. This section shall be updated during the term of the permit. 2.3.5 Sediment Erosion The facility has an ASR monofill-and a soil-borrow-area--Currently,-a- material -reclamation operation -is underway at the monofill. The operation is permitted by the Division of Solid Waste. These areas have the potential for sediment erosion. The monofll and soil borrow areas drain through a series of catch basins, berms, and ditches that provide for sediment removal prior to draining through a vegetated area and to, Outfall 004. The facility does not have any other identified areas that, due to topography, activities, or other factors, have a high potential for significant soil erosion. In the event that any construction activities for the facility are conducted in the future, construction plans will address measures to reduce the. potential'•for erosion.

Compliance Evaluation Inspection NPDES General Stormwater Permit NCG200000 Certificate of Coverage NCG200353 OmniSource Southeast, Kernersville Forsyth County Dear Mr. Winegar: Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) at the subject facility on February 24", 2011. Your assistance and cooperation, as well as that of Scott McDaniel, during the inspection, was greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached for your records and the inspection findings are summarized below. The facility is located at 1426 West Mountain Street, in Kernersville, Forsyth County, North Carolina. Stormwater related to industrial activity is discharged from the site to Kerners Mill Creek, which is currently classified as a class WS-Ill (water supply) water located in the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin. Documentation & Monitoring Review The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3) is complete, current and has been implemented. However, there were several discrepancies noted as listed below: 1. The list of on -site tanks should be updated. The list should specify which tanks have secondary containments and which are double -walled. 2. The site map does not clearly delineate drainage areas and does not specify percentages of impervious surface for each area. 3. The stormwater discharge outfalls (SDO) have not been evaluated and certified for the absence of non-stormwater discharges. 4. The Best Management Practices (BMP) listing only talks about.the Good Housekeeping (GH) and Preventative Maintenance (PM) Programs. It does not list structural BMPs throughout the site and does not include an updated site plan to match it.

The SP3 talks about the GH and PM programs in general terms and the training includes these items to a limited extent, however there are no actual schedules by which GH and PM activities are accomplished, with the exception of the monthly inspection of storage tanks, which is a requirement of the site's Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC). The permittee also performs full site inspections; please ensure this continues to be accomplished every six months. 6. The SP3 includes a section entitled the Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP), but it refers to the site's SPCC as the primary control document. This is acceptable, if the SPCC adequately addresses spills from a stormwater standpoint. Please ensure that this is in fact the case. Also, the spill team listing needs to be updated and there is no emergency contact telephone listing. Such a listing should also include our phone numbers. 7. Training records were available for only 2009 during the inspection. 8. The SP3 was originally written in 2002. It was then reviewed in 2005, reviewed and revised in 2006, and reviewed again in 2009. Please review Part.11, Section A, Paragraph 7 of the permit in detail. These reviews and/or updates must be accomplished and recertified (as per the standard conditions) annually and they must include an updated list of spills and a recertification of the SDOs for non-stormwater discharges. . The facility currently has six SDOs identified (001-006). No analytical monitoring (AM) was accomplished in 2008 when the requirement was annual AM. 'AM was accomplished in 2009 for COD, TSS, Cadmium and Lead, which resulted in exceedences of the cutoffs for COD and TSS. Only one AM event was accomplished in 2010 and during that AM event only Oil & Grease, COD, and TSS were sampled and tested. This AM event resulted in four exceedences of the TSS benchmark. Limited actions have been taken to identify and correct the causes of the exceedences and documentation of those actions is minimal. Please review the tiered actions section of the permit in detail and initiate and better document all actions taken to identify and correct such exceedences. Furthermore, this office believes that a second sample could have been collected during 2010. Please ensure you take full advantage of every sampling opportunity for 2011 and fully implement the tiered requirements if further exceedences occur. Site Review For the most part, the site was clean and well maintained, especially for the type of work done at the site. Mr. Boone noted no violations or discrepancies. It may be beneficial to consider another full survey of the entire property to ensure that all SDOs have in fact been identified. If other SDOs are discovered in the future they may be considered unpermitted discharges. It is also noted that this inspection was prompted in part by complaints from surrounding entities. OmniSource should bear this in mind as it continues its operations and strive to meet ALL conditions of the general stormwater permit. You are reminded that violations of the NCG200000 general permit are subject to civil penalty assessments not to exceed $25,000 per day, per violation. Please correct all deficiencies noted above as soon as practical and provide a written response to this letter within 20 days of receiving it that lists corrective actions with estimated implementation schedules for each of the problems/discrepancies noted above. 41 YRC, Inc.

The caller's name is William West (336-577-7625) and his concern is about runoff from the Omnisource facility on W. Mountain St into a flood plain and eventually into Kernersville Lake. I tried to call him but received a full mailbox message. This facility recently underwent a name change, formerly Atlantic Scrap and Processing. I checked with Corey this morning and Atlantic Scrap is the name on the active DWQ stormwater permit. It appears Rose inspected the facility in 2009 and it was in compliance at that time. The facility has an old landfill on it and the facility had been mining out some of that material for further processing and recycling, but it appears from Cindy that his concerns are related to the runoff generated from the whole operation (scrap metal recovery) and the potential types of things on the site (fuel tanks, car batteries, etc.) although I'm not sure they accept vehicles with batteries still in them. Solid Waste staff have been on the property in the last few months completing a recycling tax certification inspection. I believe there are groundwater monitoring wells on that property. You can confirm that information as well as determine the status of them with Jackie Drummond, Compliance Hydrogeologist in our Raleigh office, 919-508-8500, should that be needed. Our contacts at the facility are Scott McDaniel (336-996-2350) and Bill Perry (336-655-1211). Could you please follow up with Mr. West to determine his concerns as it appears they may be addressed through the stormwater permit.

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 and must be secured 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. 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 NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Certification NOl 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 reapply for the No Exposure Exclusion once every five (5) years. Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit Until a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater discharges is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant loading limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to an impaired water_ For stormwater discharges to watersheds affected by a TNIDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable 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 180 days prior to the expiration date of this general permit, and once that permit is effective, will no longer have coverage under this general permit. [Note the facility must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development) and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site Plan, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP), in Part 1I, Section A.1] 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 permittee 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. The stormwater discharges Part I Page i of 2 Permit No. NCG200000 allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards. This General Permit does not allow discharges determined by the Division of Water Quality to be wastewaters. 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. Part I Page 2 of 2 Y 0 1310- t Permit No. NCG200000 \ 1tr PART II MONITORING, CONTROL, AN LIMITATIONS FOR C` PERMITTED DISCHARGES a� t SECTION A: STOR-MWATER 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 111, 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. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether each receiving water is impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameter(s) of concern are. �(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process 1 y areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site reap drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary, the stormwater ischarge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas including storage of materials, spill kits, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), site topography, all drainage features and structures, drainage areas for each outfall, direction of flow in each drainage area, industrial activities occurring in each drainage area, buildings, existing BMPs, and impervious surfaces. The site map shall include a distance legend and must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. \, r./(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility during the three p 1- (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 J discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. 2. Stormwater 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 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 Part II Page 1 of 9 Permit No. NCG200000 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 stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for. bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Super -fund 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 c secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed 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 1J uncontamiriated by any material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, i-� the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept �1 for a period of five years. ^ (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMP) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on the assessment 1�4 of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary t shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. 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 r (or the team) responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into 7 the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A .� responsible person shall be onsite 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, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely ddress the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be /p�1 ncorporated by reference into the SPRP. 4. reventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good ousekeeping program shall be developed. The program shall list all stormwater control systems, X s ormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity eas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and k �u loading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The ogram shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater �( ontrol systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential or stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution. Inspection of material handling areas and regular 1M cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded in writing and 11' maintained in the SPPP. s 5. 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 Part 11 Page 2 of 9 Permit No. NCG200000 �y \ stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 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. See signatory requirements in Part III Section B.5 of permit. 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. All aspects of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall include a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan. 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 Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during th'e'second half (July to December), with at least 50 days separating inspection dates (unless .performed more frequently than Dsemi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring required in Part Il of this permit. 9 [I plementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. Implementation of the Plan shall include 'u documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities.

Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with this General Permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the General Permit. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this General Permit. Bypassing of Storrnwater Control Facilities Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass unless: Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; and Part III -VI Page 5 of 13 Permit No. NCG200000 b. There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary control facilities, retention of stormwater or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime or dry weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and The permittee submitted notices as required under Section E of this Part. If the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above, the Director may approve an anticipated bypass after considering its adverse effects. SECTION D: MONITORING AND RECORDS Representative Sampling Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Analytical sampling shall be performed during a representative storm event. Samples shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge.
