Dear Mr. Barger:
On November 2-3, 2009, Ms. Marcia Allocco from the Mooresville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality conducted site visits at the seventeen Charlotte area USPS Stations that would be involved in the
Mobile fueling operations for "city" postal delivery routes.
The site visits found that only 14 of the 17 postal stations that had applied for coverage under the NC
General Stormwater Permit for Transportation Activities, NCG080000 would need coverage. The
Arrowood Station, Carmel Station, and Idlewild Carrier Annex will not be required to tarn under
the NCGO80000 permit because stormwater does not flow off site through an "outfal ,each
of the 17 site visits is enclosed. This information has been forwarded to the Storrnw Permittin -it for
use in issuing the USPS Certificates of Coverage under NCG080000, �n<a CS
Thank you for the assistance and cooperation during the site visits. If you have an0r�'�estions, c�rr#rients,
or need assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit once received, pla'se do not hesitate to
contact me at [phone]- " y

ADDENDUM
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under the federal
Clean Water Act and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in North Carolina.
The NPDES permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990. Phase I focuses on
site and operations planning to reduce pollutant sources.
Through the NPDES permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories
are required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit, depending upon
the facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There are currently 19 active
general stormwater permits in North Carolina. One condition that is applicable to both the general permits
and individual stormwater permits is the requirement to develop and implement site -specific
comprehensive stormwater pollution prevention plans (SPPP). These plans are required to include a
comprehensive evaluation of the site and operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent pollutant
discharge.
Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following webpage:
http-//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms Documents.htm Permit text, technical bulletins, discharge monitoring
forms, and a Notice of Intent [which is the application of for coverage under a NPDES General Stormwater
Permit] can be found at this web site.
The following items are a subset of permit requirements and are listed to assist you and help bring your
attention to certain permitting issues, process and condition requirements of your permit. That said, please
see the above mentioned web site in order to obtain a copy of the permit such that you may fully comply
with all the conditions therein. Failure to properly comply with conditions of the permit, like those
bulleted below, constitutes violations and are subject civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00
per day.
• Industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit coverage
under a general NPDES stormwater permit or an individual NPDES stormwater permit
• All persons desiring to have facilities covered by a General Permit must register with the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Applicable Fees.
• This Notice of intent (NO[) must be submitted and a Certificate of Coverage issued prior to any
discharge of stormwater associated with the industrial activity, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering.
• Once the Notice of Intent is received, DWQ will review and determine whether a Certificate of Coverage
(COC) may be issued. If this Certificate of Coverage is issued the facility is covered by the General
Permit. That is, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering pursuant to the type of General Permit until the permit expires or is modified or revoked.
• Any other point source discharge to surface water of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable
non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization or approval.
• There are currently 19 active general permits. Permit conditions vary accordingly-, however, most of the
permits have following condition requirements (you must read your entire permit to ensure full
compliance):
o Development and compliance with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
o Collection, reporting, and recording of Analytical Monitoring

Inspection Date: 11/04/2009 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Site visit was conducted to verify eligibility for coverage under NCG080000 for portions of site involved in the US PS
mobile fueling program. This site was not involved in the 60-day mobile fueling trial conducted earlier in 2009 for fueling
of "city delivery" mail routes.
The mobile fueling would be conducted behind a fenced area and separated from the general public. Twenty-four
vehicles at the facility are scheduled for involvement in the mobile fueling operations which would occur approximately
twice per week. There are no spill response materials at the site since the USPS will rely on the fueling contractor for spit!
response during fueling operations.
There was no evidence of prior spills on the day of the inspection. There was a large accumulation of organic debris (>5")
in the southwestern corner of the parking lot. This area is also the low spot on the property that would collect stormwater
flow. The fence line was walked and there was no evidence of "concentrated" flow leaving the fenced parking area.
Stormwater flow leads to a wooded area on the property. This facility is therefore exempt from obtaining permit coverage
under NCG080000.

Inspection Date: 11/03/2009 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Site visit was conducted to verify eligibility for coverage under NCG080000 for portions of site involved in the USPS
mobile fueling program. This site was not involved in the 60-day mobile fueling trial conducted earlier in 2009 for fueling
of "city delivery" mail routes.
The mobile fueling would be conducted behind a fenced area and separated from the general public. Thirty-three
vehicles at the facility are scheduled for involvement in the mobile fueling operations which would occur approximately
twice per week. There are no spill response materials at the site since the LISPS will rely on the fueling contractor for spill
response during fueling operations.
There was no evidence of prior spills on the day of the inspection. There was a large accumulation of organic debris (>2")
in the northwestern corner of the parking lot. This area is also the low spot on the property that would collect stormwater
flow. The adjoining property was walked and there was a small swale with riprap on the opposite side of the fence line
from the LISPS facility in the northwestern corner.
The front of the property has curbing with a 4" PVC pipe installed in it to, allow stormwater to exit from the property. This is
probably what is installed in the northwestern corner of the property since a Swale is installed on the opposite side of the
fence line to facilitate removal of stormwater from the property.
Since it was dry during the inspection a determination of whether the flow leaves the site as "sheet flow" or through
infiltration and discharge through the PVC pipe and swale could not be determined. USPS personnel were instructed to
remove organic debris and maintain the stormwater "outfall" from property.

property so it would collect all stormwater runoff but it is closer to area where employees park their cars than the mobile
fueling activities

Inspection Summary:
Site visit was conducted to verify eligibility for coverage under NCGO80000 for portions of site involved in the USPS
mobile fueling program. This site was not involved in the 60-day mobile fueling trial conducted earlier in 2009 for fueling of
"city delivery" mail routes.
The mobile fueling would be conducted behind a fenced area and separated from the general public. Eleven vehicles at
the facility are scheduled for involvement in the mobile fueling operations which would occur approximately twice per
week. There are no spill response materials at the site since the USPS will rely on the fueling contractor for spill response
during fueling operations.
There was no evidence of prior spills on the day of the inspection. There are four drop inlets to the City of Charlotte MS4

Inspection Date: 11/03/2009 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Site visit was conducted to verify eligibility for coverage under NCG080000 for portions of site involved in the USPS
mobile fueling program. This site was not involved in the 60-day mobile fueling trial conducted earlier in 2009 for fueling of
"city delivery" mail routes.
The mobile fueling would be conducted behind a fenced area and separated from the general public. Twenty-four vehicles
at the facility are scheduled for involvement in the mobile fueling operations which would occur approximately twice per
week. There are no spill response materials at the site since the USPS will rely on the fueling contractor for spill response
during fueling operations.
There was no evidence of prior spills on the day of the inspection. There are two drop inlets which convey stormwater to
an on -site stormwater retention pond. The pond had water in it on the day of the inspection. The pond is roughly 138'
long by 28' at the narrowest end and 44' at the widest end. The pond is designed to discharge stormwater via a concrete
riser pipe to the City of Charlotte MS4. Flow can travel over the top of the pipe or enter at approximately half the height of
the riser. It appeared there may be an opening near the bottom but could not tell since that side of riser was surrounded
by water. There was standing water and also a sediment accumulation in the riser pipe that indicated that water had
discharged from the pond. However, on -site USPS personnel state that the pond does not discharge. USPS
environmental contact did not have any drawings or specifications on the pond so MRO assumes that it can and has
discharged and therefore would require permit coverage. There does not appear to be an O&M plan for the pond other
than mowing along the berm and cutting woody vegetation planted around the pond.

Inspection Summary:
Site visit was conducted to verify eligibility for coverage under NCG080000 for portions of site involved in the LISPS
mobile fueling program. This site was not involved in the 60-day mobile fueling trial conducted earlier in 2009 for fueling of
"city delivery" mail routes.
The mobile fueling would be conducted behind a fenced area and separated from the general public. Thirty-seven

response during fueling operations.
There was no evidence of prior spills on the day of the inspection. The area outside the USPS facility is entirely paved
with asphalt. The area is sloped so all stormwater flows to a central low spot. The stormwater is conveyed off site via a
cut in the concrete curb with a concrete swale. There is also a concrete barrier wall (--5' tall) around the back portion of
the parking area with razor wire at the top. Where the concrete barrier wall meets the curbed parking area with chain link
fence there are vertical cutouts in the concrete barrier wall that allows the stormwater to drain from the parking area in
larger storm events. Therefore there are two stormwater outfalls on site. Stormwater would flow to a vegetated area
which leads to a UT to Brier Creek.

Subject: RE: USPS Mobile fueling permit applications
Hi Brian,
Sorry I did not get back to you the other day. I've been back and forth to the doctor's office a bunch of times
since the poison ivy I got from the Oakdale Station stormwater pond riser pond got pretty bad and I needed
steroid shots and antibiotic shots. Did a follow-up today and they said I should be on the mend.
I reviewed the document that the USPS had submitted from the trial fueling period.
I would disagree with Item 10, which states, "No stormwater outfalis on postal premises were observed at any
of the 17 locations. Some of the locations had curb drains, sheet flow, and/or stormwater catch basins,
however none had an on site outfall." I think the USPS is missing the point as each drop inlet at the facilities
needing permit coverage would be considered an outfall since they discharge into the City/County MS4
stormwater systems. The only facility that has a true "outfall" pipe (and the drop inlets are not considered
outfalls) would be the discharge pipe from the stormwater pond at the Oakdale station.
I see no reason to deny issuance of the permits for the 14 sites I identified that needed permits since they have
begun mobile fueling without the permit coverage.

Thanks for going to all the sites. I went through all the reports. I received the report we requested for the trial period

Are you fine with going ahead and issuing the permits?

Brian,
I completed my site visits of the 17 USPS facilities over the last two days. The site visits determined that 14 of
the 17 facilities would be subject to stormwater permitting. Three facilities would not need permits since there
was sheet flow of stormwater on site. The three facilities that do not need permits are NCG080847-Arrowood

0Station, NCG080849-Carmel Station, and NCGO80852 Idlewild Carrier Annex. I have attached checklists I
developed and completed during the site visits. If I disagreed with the receiving stream designation it appears
as red text.
I still have to enter all of this in BIMS which I will do tomorrow but l.thought the checklists would be easier for
you to read.
They have already started the mobile fueling program (without permit coverage) but it is my understanding that
no spills occurred during the trial period.

NC DWQ. 1/16/2009
Outstanding issues to be addressed by SMF or LISPS:
Q: SMF's Spill Contingency Plan says refueling can occur on or above storm drains, and that 3"
snakes must be used during fueling, but SMPs response to Marcia's comment indicated
only absorbent pads were carried on the trucks. If the trucks aren't carrying snakes in their .
spill kit inventory, how do they plan to do this? Or is this part of their kit? It wasn't clear
from the response.
Note - SMF responded to this concern in an e-mail from T. Koshollek on 1/16/09. Mr.
Koshollek stated that 3" snakes are carried on the truck as part of the spill kit. He added,
"Snakes are utilized to surround storm drains when fueling within 50ft of a storm drain. During
a rain, the snakes from the spill kit will absorb only petroleum products from the wet area and
not the rain water; this is the design of the product. 'Absorbent pads' are used in wet or dry
conditions in the unlikely event of a small splash back or outage while fueling at a vehicle.
These absorbent pads can be utilized in wet or dry conditions and like the absorbent snakes,
will only absorb petroleum not water in the event it is raining. Absorbent snakes are used for
precaution in case there was a situation near a storm drain. Absorbent pads would be used if
an outage occurred."
Follow-up Q: So is it allowable for SMF to fuel a vehicle over a storm drain? If so, will the USPS
ensure that employees are advised/ trained to park away from storm drains whenever possible?
Q: SMF's Spill Contingency Plan says storm drains should be covered or diked if fueling within
50'. How close do they have to be before the driver actually covers the storm drain? Is there
any difference in the procedure during dry conditions versus when it's raining?
Q: SMF's responses to MRO's comments regarding hoar hose is brought back to the truck
indicated that drivers are trained to "carry (not drag) the hoses between vehicles".
However, the SOP section of the Spill Contingency Plan advises drivers to "Drag hose back
to truck." Please resolve the inconsistency.
Q: SMF's responses to MRO's comments regarding MSDS availability asserted that "MSDS
sheets are carried in the cab of each truck". The response goes on to say "MSDS sheets for a
specific customer are available at the Corporate office." The Spill Contingency Plan is
consistent with the latter and says an MSDS on each hazardous material transported is
available "in the main office." It is unclear whether MSDS sheets are in fact carried in the
truck or only kept at the office. SMF should clarify and revise their SOP accordingly. DWQ
highly recommends drivers carry MSDS sheets with them in the truck.
Q: SMF's responses to MRO's comments regarding employee training indicated
refresher/update training takes place every three (3) years and when new products or
procedures require a change. Please note the requirement for annual training under
NCGO80000. (Same would apply to USPS employees regarding inspections, parking for
fueling, etc.) While this timeframe does not apply for a 60-day trial period, this is not an
adequate schedule under NPDES permit obligations.
Q: DWQ had an overall comment that the Spill Contingency Plan did not really address fueling
during inclement weather or give details specific to stormwater. There was no response to
this comment from Mr. Koshallek.

B. Sufficient buffer shall be maintained between any affected land and any
adjoining waterway or wetland to prevent sedimentation of that waterway or
wetland from erosion of the affected land and to preserve the integrity of the
natural watercourse or wetland.
C. All buffer zones shown on the mine map prepared on December 2007 shall be
maintained to protect adjoining property. These buffer zones, with the exception
of the installation of required sediment control measures and approved earthen
berms, shall remain undisturbed.
4. Erosion and Sediment Control
A. Adeq\ to mechanical barriers including, but not limited to diversions, earthen
dikes, c} eck dams, sediment retarding structures, rip rap pits, or ditches shall be
provided in the initial stages of any land disturbance and maintained to prevent
sediment from discharging onto adjacent surface areas or into any lake, wetland
or natural watercourse in proximity to the affected land.
B. All mining activities, including the installation and maintenance of all erosion and
sedimentation control measures, shall be conducted as indicated on the mine
maps prepared on December 2007 and the supplemental information received
by the Land Quality Section on March 29, 2007 October 26, 2007 and May 29,
• 2008.
C. An erosion and sediment/control plan(s) shall be submitted to the Department for
approval prior to any land distu bing activities not indicated on the revised
erosion control plan or mine mas submitted with the approved application for a
mining permit and any approved recisions to it. Such areas include, but are not
limited to, expansion outside of the a proved pit area, creek crossings, or
expansion of overburden or waste dis�, osal areas.
5. Groundwater Protection
Groundwater monitoring wells shall be installed and monitored as deemed appropriate
by the Department.
6. Graded Slopes and Fills
A. The angle for graded slopes and fills shall be no greater than the angle which
can be retained by vegetative cover or other adequate erosion control measure,
structure, or device. In any event, exposed slopes or any excavated channels,
the erosion of which may cause off -site damage because of siltation, shall be
planted or otherwise provided with groundcover, devices or structures sufficient
to restrain such erosion.

NC DwQ, 1/16/2009
During trial period not to exceed 60 days, DWO will require:
Qualitative Monitoring at all stormwater outfalls draining mobile fueling areas at
selected group of 3-4 post office sites that represent both typical and "worst case"
scenarios. For example, sites where the most vehicles will be fueled or sites that are
located closer to receiving waters are ideal to monitor for this period.
Qualitative Monitoring should be performed once every two weeks, beginning on the
date fueling activities commence. If no rainfall event occurs that results in a discharge
during a two -week period, the USPS should record "no flow" on the Qualitative
Monitoring Form for that period. DWQ Forms and guidance are on the SPU website at:
h_ttl2:/ /Ii2o.enr.sta Le.nc.us/ su / Forms_ Documents.htm#miscforms
This monitoring schedule should result in four (4) observation events (or recordings of
"no flow") for each post office selected during the 60-day trial period. Please be sure to
record the amount of rainfall on the form. While we are not requiring the rain event to
qualify as a "representative storm event" because of the abbreviated time of this trial, it
is ideal that events that would qualify be monitored whenever practical. Also, only the
areas that discharge stormwater associated with fueling operations need to be
monitored.
Qualitative Monitoring results should be submitted to the Mooresville Regional Office
DWQ every 30 days, beginning on the first date of fueling activities. The address is:
NC DWQ Mooresville Regional Office
Attn: Marcia Allocco
Surface Water Protection Section
610 East Center Avenue
Suite 301
Mooresville, NC 28115
At the conclusion of the 60-day trial period, the USPS will submit a summary report
with the following information. Please submit this report to both the DWQ Regional
Office and Central Office (DWQ StornlWater Permitting Unit: Attn - Bethany Georgoulias,
1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699) within two weeks of the end date of mobile
fueling operations. At a minimum, the report should include:
1) Amount of fuel dispensed
2) Amount in gallons spilled
3) Number of spills and responses
4) Approximate size of drainage area where fueling occurred at each post office
5) How parking was organized for fueling
6) How procedures were communicated to post office employees
7) How the USPS ensured consistency in operations at all post offices
8) Summary of contractor's performance

B. Overburden cut slopes along the perimeter of any pit expansion conducted after
the 1997 renewal of this permit shall be graded to a minimum 2 horizontal to 1
vertical or flatter and shall be stabilized within 60 days of completion.
Furthermore, a minimum ten (10) foot wide horizontal safety bench shall be
provided at the top of the rock and at the toe of any overburden slope
constructed after the 1997 renewal of this permit.
Surface Drainage
The affected land shall be graded so as to prevent collection of pools of water that are,
or likely to become noxious or foul. Necessary structures such as drainage ditches or
conduits shall be constructed or installed when required to prevent such conditions.
Blasting /
The operator shall monitor each blast withia seismograph located at a distance
no farther than the closest off site regularly occupied structure not owned or
leased by the operator.\A seismographic record including peak particle velocity, air
overpressure, and vibration frequency levels shall be kept for each blast (except as
provided under Operating Condition Nos�813 and 8D of this permit). The following
blasting conditions shall be observed by the mine operator to prevent hazard to persons
and adjacent property from surface blasting:
A. Gro
In all blasting operations, thb maximum peak particle velocity of any component
of ground motion shall not/exceed Figure 1 (below) at the immediate location of
any regularly occupied building outside of the permitted area such as a dwelling
house, church, school, or public, commercial or institutional building.

9) Summary of qualitative monitoring results at select post office sites and why
those sites were selected
10) Identification of stormwater discharge outfalls observed
11) Identification of receiving waters (even if through Charlotte M54, identify
nearest stream)
12) Any non-stormwater discharges observed during the trial period, and responses
13) Any other information related to stormwater pollution prevention efforts
DWQ is approving the U.S. Postal Service's request to conduct this trial period of
mobile fueling operations at select post offices in the Charlotte area on the basis
that:
• The Contractor and/or USPS address outstanding issues on the first page
• The Contractor (SMF Energy Corp.) has provided spill prevention and
contingency plans that mirror many requirements in NC NPDES General
Stormwater Permit, NCG080000.
• The USPS is implementing actions that also mirror many specific requirements in
the NCG08 permit, including qualitative monitoring, routine inspections, and
response measures. (Note analytical monitoring would not be required at these
sites under the permit because the sites do not use > 55 gallons of new motor oil
a month on average.)
• Should USPS decide to resume mobile fueling operations with a contractor on an
on -going basis, the USPS is responsible for fulfilling NPDES stormwater
permitting requirements either by:
a) applying for coverage under an appropriate stormwater general or
individual permit (currently, General Permit NCG080000 is available for
vehicle maintenance and fueling activities), or
b) implementing measures to attain No Exposure conditions at post office
vehicle areas during fueling operations and applying for a No Exposure
Certification from N.C.
c) USPS would be responsible for coordinating compliance measures with
any future contractors.

B. Ground Vibration Without Monitoring:
In the event of seismograph malfunction or other condition which prevents
monitoring, blasting shall be conducted in accordance with the following
formulas:
W = (DIDS)2 Ds = D
V = 160(DS)-1-6
W = Maximum charge weight of explosives per delay, period of 8.0 milliseconds
or more (pounds).
D = Distance from the blast site to the nearest,inhabited building not owned or
leased by the mine operator (feet).
Ds = Scaled distance factor.
V = Peak Particle Velocity (inches�p�second).
The peak particle velocity of any component shall not exceed 1.0 inch per
second, for the purposes of this Section.
C. Air blast With Monitoring:
Air blast overpressure resulting from surface blasting shall not exceed 129
decibels linear (dBL) asmeasured at the immediate location of any regularly
occupied building not/owned or leased by the operator outside of the permitted
area such as a dwelling house, church, school, or public, commercial or
institutional building, unless an alternate level based on the sensitivity of the
seismograph microphone as specified below is being used:
Lower Frequency Limit of Max Level,
Measuri�stem, in Hz in dBL
0.1 Hz or lower -flat response 134 peak
2.0 Hz or lower -flat response 133 peak
6.0 Hz or lower -flat response 1 129 peak
D. Air blast Without Monitoring:
In the event of seismograph malfunction or other condition which prevents
monitoring, blasting shall be conducted in accordance with the following
formulas:
U = 82 (D/W°.33)-1.2
To convert U (psi) to P (dBL):
