PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to have facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees The NO1 shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater
associated with industrial activity 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until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked Any person conducting an activity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
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 Notice of Intent (NO[) 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 (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater is established A TMDL sets a pollutant -loading
limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to a specific impaired water For
discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, 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 DWQ 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 Once
that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have coverage under this General
Permit Note that the permittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development)
and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site Overview, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan, Part 11, Section A A list of approved TMDLs for the state of North Carolina can be
found at http: /aortal ncdenr.org/webjwq/ps/mt /tmdl,

PermitNo NCG210000
SECTION B PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the perm►ttee is authorized to discharge
stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina, or separate storm sewer system which has
been treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this General 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 discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of
Water Quality Standards This General Permit does not authorize discharges which have been
determined by the Division of Water Quality to be wastewater discharges
This permit does not relieve the perm►ttee from responsibility for compliance with any other
applicable federal, state, or local law rule, standard ordinance, order, judgment or decree

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The perm►ttee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) The
SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division The SPPP
is public information in accordance with Part II1, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this
permit The SPPP shall include, at a minimum the following items
Site Overview The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater
discharges The Site Overview 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 waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, 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 points of stormwater
discharge associated with industrial activity The general location map (or alternatively the
site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d)
list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are
(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 A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be
present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict the site property boundary, the
stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands,
industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas,
loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), site topography and finished grade, all
drainage features and structures, drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for
each outfall, direction of flow in each drainage area industrial activities occurring in each
drainage area, buildings, stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), and impervious
surfaces The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) 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 permittee shall re -certify annually 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 to Part III,
Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5
Part 11 Page I of 10

Permit No NCG210000
Stormwater Management Strategy The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the Stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and
nonstructural measures The Stormwater Management Strategy, 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 rainfall and run-on flows 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, this review
shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on 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 any 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 summaryof all such
tanks and stored materials and their associated 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 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 now prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found 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 For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the 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
(BMPs) 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 stormwater
discharges The BMP Summary 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 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 SPRP shall be
identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual
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 SPRP The common elements of the SPCC
with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP
Part II Page 2 of 10

Permit No NCG210000
4 Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program A preventative maintenance
and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented The program shall
address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls all on -site
and adjacent surface waters and wetlands 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 BMPs The program
shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of
stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems
that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already
addressed under another element of the SPPP Inspection of material handling areas and
regular 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 and maintained in the SPPP
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 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 II B, C, and D 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

SECTION B ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
A facility that retains exposed accumulations (either exposed to incident precipitation or exposed
to stormwater run on) of sawdust, wood chips, bark, mulch, or other similarly sized material on site
for more than seven (7) days is required to monitor and report all the site stormwater discharges
for the parameters in Table 1
The permittee may petition the DWQ Regional Office Surface Water Protection Supervisor to be excused from
the required monitoring
a) upon a DWQ Compliance Evaluation Inspection and,
b) on the basis that DWQ concludes that taken as a whole, site -wide conditions support the
assessment of very limited risk of stormwater pollution from the site
c) Among any other factors deemed relevant in his or her own considerations, the Regional Office
Supervisor shall consider whether the amount of accumulated exposed materials may be deemed
de minimis with respect to the potential to generate stormwater runoff pollutants Given that all site
conditions may be relevant to the determination of what constitutes a de minimis amount, such
determinations shall be made on a'case-by-case basis, and shall not be assumed to be generally or
specifically, transferrable to any other permitted site, regardless of superficial similarities
d) The Regional Office Supervisor will communicate any such determination in writing, and shall state
any qualifying conditions for the permittee's continuing release from monitoring DWQ's release
letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissued versions of this permit, unless the release
letter provides for other conditions or duration
e) If released from monitoring, the permittee must still continue to submit semi-annual Discharge
Monitoring Reports with the notation 'Released from Monitoring by DWQ Regional Office "
If at any time there are changes to DWQ's initial site assessment, or to the initial site operating
circumstances the permittee must immediately begin analytical monitoring and reporting in accordance
with Tables 1 and 2, and must immediately inform the DWQ Regional Office that analytical monitoring has
been instituted

the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous General
Permit the facility should continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge
3 Sample Location Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative
outfall status (ROS) has been granted A copy of the DWQ letter granting ROS shall be kept on site

reading must be recorded Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time a local rain gauge
reading may be substituted for an on site reading
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO)
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted
site outfall The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior The 72-
hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is
representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains
approval from the local DWQ Regional Office See be initions
A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates unless monthly
monitoring has been instituted under other requirements of this permit
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in
Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in
Definitions) Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the
SPPP and recorded on the DMR Sampling is not required outside of the facility s normal operating
hours
Failure to monitor and report semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters for a specified time period No discharge'
from an outfall or inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a
monitoring period, for example, does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly
reported

SECTION C QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
All facilities covered by this permit must perform Qualitative Monitoring The purpose of
qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the SPPP and to assess new sources of
stormwater pollution Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall associated with
industrial activity regardless of representative outfall status Qualitative monitoring shall be
performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events if
applicable (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative sampling per the
Qualitative Monitoring Response below) Inability to sample because of adverse weather
conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR (see Adverse Weather in
Definitions) Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be
monitored (See Definitions)
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, 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
