Dear Mr. Thompson:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
In response to your discussions with NCDENR Land Quality Section staff concerning multiple
exceedances of the benchmark values for lead, zinc, and copper, Dave Parnell and Bethany
Georgoulias of the Land Quality Section - Stormwater staff conducted a technical assistance
inspection on November 20, 2014. The inspection was conducted to determine compliance
with the conditions of your NPDES Certificate of Coverage (COC) No. NCG030013 Stormwater
Permit and to discuss any actions that have been or could be taken to identify and eliminate
potential sources of lead, zinc and copper related to facility operations.
Benchmark exceedances are not limit violations or violations of permit conditions; however,
you are obligated to follow the tiered response actions outlined in your permit. At the time of
the inspection, your facility was found to be in compliance with the tiered response actions
and other conditions of the permit. During the November 20th inspection, you relayed to Ms.
Georgoulias and Mr. Parnell that you have been unable to determine the sole sources of or
reduce the levels of the metals to below the benchmark concentrations consistently at both
outfalls. Ms. Georgoulias and Mr, Parnell observed that TT&E has gone to great lengths in an
attempt to investigate the source, as well as remedy the metal exceedances. Your facility has
conducted extensive reviews of your site for exposed sources (onsite and offsite) of the
metals. The incorporation of Best Management Practices (BMP) to reduce the degree of the

metal content in your stormwater is also noteworthy. These BMPs include the paving of the
entire production site, construction of a series of treatment ponds, and the introduction of a
variety of metal reducing plants within the ponds. Your diligence in attempting to determine
and reduce the lead, zinc, and copper sources, and your continued communication with
Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) staff, is commendable and is documented.
However, we feel the degree of the exceedances merit additional attention because the site
continues to record excursions of all three metals in the permit, and not only copper and zinc.
The Department believes that further implementation of BMP methods are necessary at this
time. We have also determined that your facility should be operating under a different
stormwater general permit, which we hope will facilitate your efforts to address elevated
metals concentrations. Let us explain:
In discussions following our site visit, DEMLR Stormwater staff asked if the facility has been
operating under an incorrect NPDES permit. Staff discovered this question had come up
before in internal correspondence dated March 13, 2009. It was and is the belief of the
Stormwater Permitting Program and the DEMLR RRO staff, that the appropriate NPDES
Stormwater Permit for discharges from your site is, instead, the NCG200000 (Scrap Metal
Recycling). This is by no fault of the facility. However, DEMLR staff feels this is the
appropriate time to correct this error and offers an opportunity for revised monitoring
requirements in early 2015.
DEMLR staff thereby recommends that TT&E continue to comply with the current NPDES
NCG030000 permit monitoring (monthly) requirements. As soon as possible, submit a Notice
of Intent (N01) application for coverage under the NPDES NCG200000 permit. NCG200000 is
in the process of being renewed and should be finalized early next year. It is estimated that
coverage for your facility could take effect as early as February 2, 2015. Obtaining coverage
under the new NPDES NCG20000 will reset TT&E back to the semi-annual monitoring
requirement. Please note that cadmium is currently part of the metal sampling regime under
that permit and would be a new parameter for you (unless NCG20 is renewed without it).
You will have the advantage of operating your facility under the newly issued NPDES
NCG200000 stormwater permit. Revised metals benchmarks are increasing and are projected
to be as follows:
• Pb 0.075 mg/1
* Cu 0.010 mg/1
• 2n 0.126 mg/1
* Cd 0.003 mg/l
We recommend that you begin sampling for the above metals during the January 2015
analytical monitoring requirement to satisfy the advanced tiered response action under the
NCG030000 permit. Depending on when the NCG200000 General Permit is finalized and your
new Certificate of Coverage (COC) is issued, samples in February may satisfy the required
semi-annual monitoring requirements of the new permit (as long as they are taken after the
effective date of the permit).

DEMLR staff hopes that you see the benefit of moving to coverage under the correct NPDES
permit. Over the next year, your facility can experiment further with BMPs to alleviate
potential future metal exceedances. We encourage you to document both the feasibility and
cost -benefit conclusions of any major BMP modifications or installations under consideration,
should you need to consult again with RRO about persistent benchmark exceedances.
Retain and append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) or permit.
Should you have questions or comments regarding the technical assistance inspection or this
letter, please contact Dave Parnell at [phone] or dayid__parnell@ncdenngov or Bethany
Georgoulias at [phone] or [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Raleigh Regional Office

°IZ577' Technical Bulletin for NCG200000
I Technical Bulletin for NCG200000, Volume II Revised 1 1/16/2009 1
What activities are covered by this general permit?
• NCG200000 allows stormwater point source discharges associated with establishments primarily engaged in assembling,
breaking up, sorting, and wholesale trade of scrap metal[ a portion of standard industrial classification (SIC) 50931;
• Specifically excluded activities include; Used Motor Vehicle Parts [ SIC 5015], Automobile Wrecking for Scrap [ a portion of SIC
50931, and Non -Metal Waste Recycling ( a portion of SIC 50931. (Those are covered under NCG100000)
What are the key permit requirements?
• Implement a stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP);
• Provide secondary containment for all bulk storage of liquid materials;
• Perform, document, and report analytical and qualitative monitoring during a representative storm event semi-annually; and
• Perform analytical monitoring twice per year for any vehicle maintenance area, if present.
What has changed since the last renewal?
Some of the major changes'since the last renewal include:
• Semi-annual analytical monitoring with benchmarks replaces annual monitoring with cut-off concentrations;
• Refinements and clarifications to. the SPPP requirements; refer to Part 11, Section A;
• New analytical monitoring parameters including pH, Cu, Fe, Zn and 0&G;
• Tiered response requirements for Benchmark exceedences based on analytical results, and direction to notify the DWQ
Regional Office in the event of four benchmark exceedances (Fe not included). Benchmarks are not limits;
• Semi-annual qualitative monitoring during a representative storm event;
• Semi-annual (instead of annual) vehicle maintenance analytical monitoring with benchmarks (if required);
• Requirement to use forms provided by the Division to record qualitative monitoring results; and
• Requirement to submit an annual monitoring summary to the DWQ Regional Office by March 1 of each year.
What are BMPs, and why are they important?
The SPPP should include Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control discharge of pollutants from a
facility's stormwater outfalls. BMPs include a variety of things that help minimize potential for pollutants to get into the storm -
water draining from a facility. There are different types of BMPs:
Non-structural (practices or activities) BMPs Include:
* Eliminating exposure of materials and equipment wherever possible by moving them to indoor locations.
* Practicing good housekeeping on -site. Handle and store materials at the facility in an orderly fashion.
* Exchanging hazardous materials for non -hazardous ones wherever possible.
* Establishing routine leak & maintenance checks to minimize chance of spills. Clean up spills immediately,
* Establishing bulk storage tank protocols that minimize the risk of spills during loading and unloading.
* Maintaining wash pads and keeping them clean of paint chips, debris, and particles.
Structural (equipment or devices) BMPs Include:
* Containment or diversion dikes around loading/unloading areas and around bulk liquid storage containers.
* Roofs and secondary containment around materials stored outside so that stormwater cannot contact them.
* Oil -water separators, detention basins, infiltration devices, vegetated buffers and filter strips.
* Many other BMPs can be found at http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/menuofbmps/index,cfm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Could I be exempted from an Does a certified lab need to Who inspects me, when, and
NPDES stormwater permit? analyze my samples? for what?
Possibly. A facility with industrial
activity subject to the NPDES
Stormwater regulations that elimi-
nates all potential stormwater ex-
posure may be eligible for a No Ex-
posure Exclusion from a permit. A
facility that meets this condition
may submit a No Exposure Certifi-
cation application (see our website:
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su) for a
No Exposure Exclusion. The facility
Mu.
st re -certify No Exposure every
five (5)years.
What if i sell my business, or
the name changes?
This change is a minor modification
and requires the Director's ap-
proval. Complete the Name/
Ownership Change Form SWU-239,
available on our website:
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su
Do I have to monitor all the
outfalls?
Yes. However, you may request
Representative Outfall Status
(ROS). If approved, this status al-
lows analytical monitoring at fewer
outfalls. To request ROS, send a
letter to the DWQ Regional Office
explaining which outfall(s) should
be representative and why, and
include all supporting documenta-
tion and a site map. Or fill out and
send in the ROS Request Form on
our website.
Other resources
In addition to the Stormwater Per-
mitting Unit's website above, the
Division of Pollution Prevention and
Environmental Assistance (DPPEA)
is a valuable resource. The DPPEA
has specific information about how
to minimize pollutants at various
industries. Call [phone] or
visit:
http://www.p2pays.org/
Monitoring under all NPDES permits
must be conducted in accordance
with test procedures approved un-
der federal regulations in 40 CFR
§136. All labs certified by North
Carolina perform analysis in accor-
dance with those procedures. N.C.
certification requirements do not
apply to stormwateronly dis-
charges, but data gathered under
an NPDES permit must conform to
federal requirements. Using a certi-
fied lab is one way to ensure com-
pliance. A list of certified labs is
available from: http://
h2o.enr.state.nc.us/lab/cert.htm.
Note that pH is a field parameter
and must be measured within 15
minutes. You must train on -site
staff to measure pH using approved
methods or contract with commer-
cial services. All entities with field
parameter certificat! on per 15A
NCAC 2H .0800 can analyze pH in
accordance with federal procedures
(see website for list).
If I'm sampling my discharge,
do 1 do qualitative monitoring
at the same time?
Yes, see permit requirements. it is
most practical and convenient to do
both at the same time.
DWQ personnel from the Regional
Office may visit your site and want
to see that you have your NPDES
permit, an acceptable SPPP, and
evidence that you are following
your SPPP. These inspections may
be routine or the result of public
complaints.
Take compliance seriously!
Facilities that violate stormwater
permit conditions are subject to
fines. Civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day may be assessed
for each violation.

RE: Request for modification of stormwater sampling from Tier III to Tier 1, until 2017,
the remainder of the current permit cycle.
Sirs,
Our facility is a metal recycling facility located at 1529 West Garner Road, Garner,
NC 27529. We have two stormwater discharges from our facility covered by permit NCG
030000 and Certificate of Coverage Number NCG 030013.
Since inception of our permit we have followed the stormwater sampling requirements as
studiously as possible. In 2013 our sampling results showed lead, copper and zinc above
the specified benchmarks so we were required by permit to go to Tier III sampling. Our
Tier III sampling, for greater than a year, shows lead, copper and zinc above the
benchmarks. However, all other sampling constituents are well within the benchmark
parameters.
We have tried to be pro -active as possible in order to adhere to the permit specified
benchmarks. Some of our actions:
• General housekeeping - we reviewed and changed our product storage
locations to lessen discharge potential. For example we no longer store baled
copper with leaded joints directly adjacent to stormwater drains. The product
has been relocated to an area that rainwater discharges to a treatment pond.
Also any time product makes its way into our treatment ponds our staff has
been instructed to remove these materials from the ponds quickly.
• We reconstructed SD-1, using the design modifications specified by Keith
Roberts, PE. We essentially created a stormwater sand filter by adding filter
sand to the treatment pond and some of the ditches leading to the treatment
pond. The cost for this modification was greater than $40,000. The sand
filter treatment pond has not had a' positive impact on the lead, copper and
zinc results. However, TSS results are very good.

• We are currently investigating capturing, treating and using the stormwater
from our ponds to cool our shredder. The shredder uses 3,000 to 5,000 or
more gallons of water for each day of operation. The objective will be to
have zero stormwater discharge. A normal year of rainfall may produce 75%
of the water needed for cooling at the shredder.
• We have employed several professionals including Keith Roberts, PE,
S&ME, Little Environments, LLC and Steve Bristow, LSS, to'try to find or
develop and apply technologies to meet the lead, copper and zinc
benchmarks. This has costs many thousands of dollars but at this time has
not rendered a usable solution. Mr. Bristow has developed a media that
shows promise to capture lead. However, without technologies to address
copper and zinc plus the expense associated with the sampling in the Tier III
requirement, we have decided to suspend our own research activities. Our
business has been pro -active in trying to meet the lead, copper and zinc
benchmarks but at this time, based on our many investigations, we do not
see the technologies available to meet the permit specified benchmarks.
Without some type of technology that will allow a cost effective treatment for lead,
copper and zinc we cannot meet the benchmarks. We have an established track record of
compliance with all permit sampling requirements and have implemented what
technologies we could to reduce lead, copper and zinc discharges to get below the
benchmark for Tier I sampling requirement. However, even with our best efforts, without
some type of technological advancement in the treatment of lead, copper and zinc we
cannot discover a way to meet that benchmark. We would like to spend the money
dedicated to the Tier III sampling, to investigate other remedial stormwater treatment
possibilities.
We therefore respectfully request to return to Tier I sampling for the remainder of
this permit cycle and we await your decision in this matter.

NPDES STORMWATER PERMIT NCG030013
Wake County
Dear Mr Thompson:
On August 20, 2014, Dave Parnell, of the Raleigh Regional Office of the North Carolina Division
of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), conducted a compliance evaluation
inspection (CEI) at the above referenced facility. The site lies in the watershed of Big Branch,
Class C, NSW waters, which lies in the Neuse River Basin.
The following observations were noted during the NCG030013 DEMLR inspection.
This facility purchases, sorts, shreds, packages and ships scrap metal. Thank you for your
assistance, as well as for the assistance of Billy Hudson, Lee Goldstein of TT&E, and Claudia
Irvin of S&ME. The inspection began in your conference room, where a thorough review of
the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan; as well as the qualitative and analytical monitoring
results, were conducted. The facility is currently on Tier 3, as required by your NPDES permit.
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) has been implemented. All components of
the SPPP were present. The plan had been updated during the 2013 calendar year.
Following the SPPP, permit and data review, the Stormwater Discharge Outfalls (SDO) were
observed. A series of treatment ponds lead to SDO # 1. SDO # 2 is the recipient of the
stormwater from the shredder and adjacent area, A treatment (north) basin treats runoff
before discharging to SDO # 2. BMP have been implemented as required by Tier 2 & 3 of your
permit, in an attempt to bring your Zinc and Copper values below required benchmarks.
Monitoring points are easily accessible and vegetation has been mowed.

Mr. Parnell reports that a discussion concerning Tier 3, it's requirements and possibility for
being removed from Tier 3, took place. Also discussed was the possibility of using the
stormwater collected in the two stormwater ponds (before discharging to the outfalis), as
coolant water for the shredder. It was projected that the entirety of the stormwater leading to
the two SDO, would be used for cooling the metals as they are shredded. It was also pointed
out that there would be no wastewater produced from the shredder. Mr. Parnell stated that
the possibility of using the stormwater for cooling was a possibility, and that you should put
your proposal in written form and send it to the DEMLR Raleigh Regional Office, as well as the
Stormwater Permitting Program.
Should you have questions regarding the CEI or this letter, please contact Dave Parnell at
[phone] or [e-mail].

Dear Mr. Thompson:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On February 11, 2009 Myr] NiseIy of the Raleigh Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
carried out an inspection of your facility for compliance with the above stormwater permit. It was a
pleasure meeting you, and your assistance was greatly appreciated. In addition to checking compliance,
the possibility of DWQ granting representative outfall status for certain stormwater discharge points was
brought to your attention, stemming from a written request from 1999 that had never been answered by
DWQ. We apologize for failing to respond to that request. More on the outfall request is below. The
facility was in compliance. Attached is the inspection checklist.
TT&E contracts with S&ME to oversee the stormwater program. A separate Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SP3) is prepared each year. These are well written, comprehensive, and implemented.
The consultants also carry out required monitoring, both Qualitative and Analytical. In 2008 a Tier 1
action had been taken in response to a high TSS value. Monthly site inspections by your staff are
archived in the SP3 manual. An annual review of the site is made by S&ME, from which they make
recommendations for improving BMPs. Before and after photos documented the areas for improvement
and their resolution.
Judging the potential for reducing sampling and analytical costs by establishing a representative outfall
will have to wait until an expansion project is complete. At the time of this inspection, the site is
undergoing significant modification. Large portions are being expanded and paved, with a design that
will send most stormwater to a retention basin that has been greatly enlarged. At least three stormwater
conveyances will discharge into the pond. A new car crushing facility is being built on a satellite
section of the site, away from the historical activity. Discharge points that result in the final
configuration will be renumbered (renamed). As a point of general guidance, DWQ is interested in the
water quality at the point where it leaves your property, so sampling the pond release will cover the
separate conveyances to the pond.

A copy of the 1999 letter of request was left with you at the end of our discussion. Once the site
changes have been completed and the soils stabilized with vegetation, if TT&E still wishes for
representative outfall status, please mail a new request with a map and description to the Raleigh
Regional Office at the address in the footer of this letter.

Spoke with Bradley on this and since the NCG20 is in the process of being renewed
it's probably best that they stay under the NCG03 for now. Once the NCG20 has been
reissued they can fill out an NOI for an NCG20, attach the appropriate documents (a
map and a check for $100) and submit it to the Stormwater Unit along with a cover
letter stating why they should be under an NCG20, instead of an NCG03. Let me know if
you have any questions about this. Have a good weekend and stay dry! -Sarah

Brad/Sara, based upon an inspection I did last month for NCGO30013 (TT&E Iron and
Metal), I feel that this metal recycle center would more appropriately be
permitted under NCG200000. They are not manufacturing, but collecting scrap metal
of several different kinds for recycling.

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG030000. This permit expires
on August 31, 2002. The Division staff is currently in the process of rewriting this permit and is scheduled to have
the permit reissued by late summer ol'2002. Once the permit is reissued, your facility would be eligible for
continued coverage under the reissued permit.
In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to the Division of Water

Please note that recent federal legislation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of industrial
facilities in any of the l l categories of "storm water discharges associated with industrial activity," (except

materials and operations are not exposed to stormwater, you can apply for the no exposure exclusion. For additional

Re: Representative Outfall Status Request for TT&E Iron and Metal, Inc.

Genera! Permit No. N00030013
Dear Ms. Lau:
��p7R1999'
AWT
September 22, 1999
On behalf of our client, TT&E Iron and Metal, Inc. (TTE), AWT requests representative outfall
status for TT&E's stormwater sampling at their Garner, North Carolina facility. Enclosed for your
reference is Figure 1 that is a not -to -scale site map of the property. The facility currently has four
possible stormwater sampling locations as shown on Figure 2 as SD #1 - #4. It is requested that
SD #1 be used as the representative sampling point.
SD #1 contains runoff from the majority of the scrap yard and includes runoff from the used oil
reclamation area. The roof drains combine and are discharged at SD #2. SD #3 includes runoff
from the southern portion of the facility which contains diesel fuel tanks, new motor oil and
hydraulic oil tanks which are either double walled or within secondary containment structures. SD
#3 also discharges runoff from adjacent properties located to the south of TTE. SD #4 contains
runoff from SD #1, SD #2 and SD #3 but is a substantial distance from the facility. For runoff to
be collected at this location, a significant amount of rain must fall for an extended period of time.
On September 20, 1999, AWT met with Ms. Robin Simpson, Raleigh Regional Office Division of
Water Quality, at the Garner facility to discuss which sampling location would be acceptable.
After viewing the possible sampling locations, we agreed that the most representative location
would be SD #1,
Please respond to this request in writing. If you have any questions, please call me. Thank you
for your time and cooperation with this matter.
Sincerely,
APPLIED WATER TECHNOLOGY
