Please be advised that the Stormwater Division has established a target completion
date of June 30, 2014 for WSTA to complete all corrective measures and
provide documentation to verify WSTA's successful completion of all
corrective measures. To assist WSTA in this matter, our staff would like to meet
with WSTA staff & your stormwater compliance consultant within the next three
weeks to review and discuss WSTA's course of action in this matter.
The Stormwater Division reserves the right to enter and inspect the Winston-Salem
Transit Authority facility as often as necessary to determine compliance with permit
requirements of NPDES Permit # NCG080023. Thank you for your continued

J) Ultimate Receiving Waters: Salem Creek (via Peter's Creek)
TMDL stream ®Yes ❑No for fecal coliforms
Part I - St_ormwater Controls
1. Best Management Practices
a. List the non/structural controls employed bathe facility:
1. Vehicle service/cleaning inside structure w/ drains plumbed to sanitary sewer through oil/sand
separator.
2. Double -wall waste oil tank inside enclosed structure, waste oil recycled through 3`d party vendor.
3. Spill kits & display of facility's SOPs at interior vehicle servicing & cleaning areas.
4. Oil filters drained/crushed inside structure, exterior enclosed storage bin for pick-up by 3`d party
vendor.
5. Interior battery storage of 10 < with routine delivery & pick-up of new/old batteries by 3`d party
vendor.

b. Are the BMPs reasonable & appropriate for the facility? ❑Yes MNo
BMPs for interior bus maintenance/cleaning activities are fairly appropriate & adequate; but,
BMPs for exterior impervious areas around the maintenance building are practically non-
existent. During the inspections, heavy oil staining was observed on bus parking areas & in
stormdrain conveyances; and, during a light rain event at the 12/5/13 inspection, oil sheen was
observed on parking lot surfaces & in the stormwater runoff. Also, 57% of the monthly
analytical monitoring reports reviewed showed oil & grease concentration limit exceedences.
Additional BMP's and staff efforts are needed to address the exterior vehicle surface areas.
Some examples are: o regular facility PM/GH & inspection programs, u improved employee
training programs, a a routine inspection and cleaning program for all exterior vehicle access &
parking areas and exterior storm drainage conveyance systems, etc.
c. Are BMPs installed correctly, maintained, and effective operating condition? ❑Yes MNo
Comments
BMPs for interior vehicle service, maintenance & storage activities are satisfactory. Additional
BMPs need to be developed & implemented to address deficiencies in cleaning/maintaining of
exterior vehicle parking/storage/access areas as well as the facility's stormwater conveyance
system (SCS). Examples include, but not limited to: street sweeper, oil absorbent booms &
pads, cleaning of SCS w/ biodegradable degreaser, etc.
2. Provide a brief description of other controls that manage/prevent/minimize stormwater runoff
(e.g., erosion and sediment controls, inlet protection/control at storm drains, diversion structures):
None noted.
Part 2 — Miscellaneous
1) Any evidence of discharge to receiving waters/MS4? (e.g.: stormwater runoff, dry weather discharge, co -
mingling of process wastewater): MYes ❑No
Stormwater runoff is discharged from the property's stormwater collection & drainage system
into the City of Winston-Salem's MS4 at the Western property boundary (SDO41). No non-
stormwater discharges were observed during the inspection, nor noted in past 3 years in the
qualitative inspection reports.
2) Do the stormwater outfalls on -site correspond with those listed on the site map and in SPPP?
®Yes ❑No
Comments:
The WSTA facility has a single stormwater discharge outfall SD0#1 on the Western property
boundary as shown on the site map. NOTE: Directly upstream from SDO #1, off -site
drainage is currently co -mingled with WSTA's stormwater runoff.

NOTE: The Stormwater Division suezests that WSTA DetitionNCDENR — DWO to: 11 Relocate SDO# I
to the discharge outlet at Sample Point #1 due to stormwater discharge at SP#1 being comprised of only
WSTA's stormwater runoff (no off -site co -mingled drainage); and, 2) Discontinue water sampling @ SP 92
since this point drains to existing SP 41, is within the same drainage & industrial activity areas as SP#2, and
new measures will be implemented for obtaining a representative sample for the site from SP#l.

Subject: General Stormwater Permit Inspection
NPDES Permit No. NCG080023
Winston-Salem Transit Authority
Forsyth County
Dear Mr. Ashford:
On September 16, 2009, Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Stormwater Permit
Inspection at Winston-Salem Transit Authority located at 1060 North Trade Street in Winston-
Salem, North Carolina. This facility holds General Stormwater Permit No. NCGO80023 under
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to discharge stormwater
associated with activities that have Vehicle Maintenance Areas. You were present for the
inspection. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: a review of facility files and self -
monitoring data and an inspection of the facility's storage areas and discharge points. This
particular inspection evaluated five (5) areas, and observations from each area are addressed
below:
1. Permit
The permit became effective November 1, 2007 and expires October 31, 2012. A copy of the
permit was available during the inspection.
2. Records/Reports
As required by the Permit, the facility has a complete Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP) that was available for review during the inspection. A private consultant developed the
SPPP for the facility, The SPPP appeared to be thorough and complete, including a location
map of the outfalls and a site plan listing potential stormwater pollutants and best management
practices used at the site. Employee Training is conducted on an annual .basis. The last
training event occurred on January 8, 2009 and was documented in the SPPP.
3. Facility Site Review
The site has three underground storage tanks for gasoline and diesel. One is a 10,000-gallon
tank and gasoline and two are 12,000gallon tanks for diesel. Antifreeze, engine oil,
transmission fluid, and waste oil are all kept inside the maintenance building. The facility is
equipped with a wash bay fort he buses, which has floor drains piped to a large oil/water
separator and then city sewer. Oil -Dry is maintained on the premises at fueling locations in
case of small petroleum spills.

4. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The site has two Stormwater outfalls. No problems were noted with the outfalls during the
inspection. Stormwater from the property discharges to an unnamed tributary to Peters Creek
in the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin.
5. Self -Monitoring Program_
The stormwater permit requires semi-annual qualitative and quantitative monitoring of
stormwater discharge outfalls and effluent. An on -site review of the monitoring data during the
inspection showed that all parameters were evaluated per the specifications of the permit. The
last monitoring event occurred on July, 20, 2009 during a rain event totaling 1.28 inches of
precipitation. All of the required parameters were found to be within permit limits:
Stormwater
Outfall
Oil & Grease
Total Suspended

Subject: NPDES Storrnwater Permit Coverage Renewal
Winston-Salem Transit Authority —Trade Street
COC Number NCGO80023
Forsyth County
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG080000 the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued stormwater General Permit. This permit is
reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 14'-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated December
6, 1983.
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage
• A copy of stormwater General Permit NCGO80000
• A copy of a Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Five copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form
• Five copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater only, and it specifies your obligations with respect to
stormwater discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to
familiarize yourself with all the changes in the reissued permit.
The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last Certificate of Coverage include the following:
• Part I Section A -- A new notation that the No Exposure Exclusion from permitting option may be available to
the permittee.
• Part I Section A —A new provision that facilities draining to 303(d) listed waters, or in watersheds with an
approved TMDI.,, may not be eligible for renewed coverage under the General Permit.
• Pant If Section B Table 1 -- An increased sampling frequency From once per year to twice per year.
• Part 11 Section B Table 3 -- Benchmark concentrations now replace cutoff concentrations; the elimination of
the option to avoid sampling based on cutoff concentrations.

Part l I Section B -- New provisions requiring the permittee to execute Tier One and Tier Two response
actions, based on the first benchmark exceedence (Tier One) and the second consecutive benchmark
exceedence (Tier Two). Tier Two requires that the permittee institute montlily monitoring instead of twice -
per -year monitoring, until three consecutive monitoring events show no benchmark exceedences.
Part 11 Section 13 = A new provision that four exceedences of any particular benchmark will trigger increased
DWQ involvement in the permittee's stormwater management and control actions. DWQ may direct the
permittee to apply for an individual permit, or may direct the implementation or installation of specific
stormwater control measures.
DWQ received a number of comments on a series of general permits similar to this one. A full response to
comments can be found at http://ncwatergLiality.org/su/generalpermitiiifo.litm. Some comments resulted in permit
modifications, others are addressed in the response document or Fact Sheet. A few specific requests for
clarification are addressed below.
. What is the deadline for having a revised SPPP that reflects the provisior7s of the new General Permit?
DWQ will require that the permittee have a revised, complete SPPP no later than six months after the date of
issue of that permittee's new Certificate of Coverage.
2. Must cn7cilyticeil results he by a certified lcrb? What about pH inec7suremenis? All analytical results obtained
to satisfy NPDES permit requirements must be by CPA approved methods. DWQ certification is not required
forstor»nvcrter analytical results. Analytical results for wasteivater analyses are required to be by DWQ
certified labs or analysts. Field pH measurements are subject to the same requirements as to EPA method
(stormwater and wastewater), and as to certification (wastewater only).
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. The Division may
require modification and reissuance of the certificate of coverage.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, nor does
it relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule,
standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.
If you have any questions regarding this permit package please contact Sarah Young of the Central Office Stormwater
