Good Morning Bethany,
I am glad to put this matter behind us and thank you for your hard work in dealing
with these two sites (It pays finally). I am most happy with this paragraph below
that you have included in your letter. You have covered all the angles. Thank you
V.X
for a job well done!! We have no additional comments for the issuance of these two
permits. Good Day
Because there are no point source discharges of stormwater from the property at this
site, the COC includes authorization to operate a wastewater treatment system and to
discharge wastewater only. If future changes result in any point source discharges
of stormwater from this site, you must apply to the Stormwater Permitting Unit for a
modification to this COC to comply with NPDES regulations.

I Samar,
I received add. info. from consultant Darin McClure on both the Reams Rd and
Hebron St Ready Mixed Concrete Plants this week. We now have a good picture of
what is on the ground at these sites (I think they did an excellent job pulling
together a description and schematic), and I'm moving ahead with the COCs to wrap
these up. 4-
I'm attaching the COCs and cover letters as well. If you're okay with them, I'll
schedule issuance for this Friday.
Thanks for all your help with this!

MID -ATLANTIC .JOB NO. 000R1255.06 & .07
Dear Ms. Georgoulias:
As discussed in our phone conversation on February 28, 2008, Mid -Atlantic submits, for
each of the facilities listed above, a site drawing and a schematic drawing of the
recycling system.
On March 10, 2008, Mid -Atlantic met with Rick Alexander of Ready Mixed Concrete to
gather information for the preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and to
construct a schematic drawing of the recycling system. The results of our site visits are
summarized below and are based on field observations and information provided by Mr.
Alexander.
East Hebron Street Facilit
Stormwater and process water flows into a settling pond and is then recycled in
the production of concrete. A portion of the truck parking area and employee
parking area flows into a storm drain which discharges into a wooded area.
The settling pond shape is semi -oval with the circumference measuring
approximately 275 feet. It is sloping at an approximate 2 to 1 slope with a flat
bottom at a depth of 18' below land surface. The maximum storage capacity of
the pond is approximately 638,000 gallons..

Water entering the settling pond is first collected in a detention pit (measuring
25' x 12' and sloping to a depth of 22.5"). Water is drained from the detention
pit through a weir into the settling pond. Water is piped via a 2 inch pipe using a
7.5 'horse power electric pump underground to a 1,200-gallon holding tank,
which is gravity fed into a water scale hopper and loaded directly into trucks.
If this pond were to overflow it would discharge into a wooded area. Based on
our visual observations, it appears the water_ would then dissipate and
discharge off the property as sheet flow.
Reams Road Facility
Stormwater and process water flowing into the settling pond is recycled in the
production of concrete.
The settling pond shape is semi -oval with the circumference measuring
approximately 247 feet. It is sloping at an approximate 2 to 1 slope with a flat
bottom at a depth of 20' below land surface. The maximum storage capacity of
the pond is approximately 546,000 gallons.
Water is piped via a 3 inch pipe. using a -double diaphragm pump underground
to a 600-gallon water tank, located in the first loading area, which directly loads
to concrete trucks. The water is also piped to a series of three ASTs (one
4,000-gallon AST and two 10,000-gallon ASTs) that are piped together for a
total storage capacity of 24,000 gallons. Water is pumped from these tanks to
the truck wash areas and into the building (to be heated by the boiler) and then
to the second loading area.
In the event the settling pond were to overflow, it appears that water would
discharge into the stream which originates (by a spring) on the property and
would discharge at the property boundary as a point source discharge.

Proposed COC NCG140349
Mecklenburg County
Dear Mr. Alexander:
The Division received a NOI for the Carolina Concrete I1— Reams Rd. facility on
December 23, 2004. Due to soiree back logged permits on my plate I was unable to begin my
review of the application until August 9, 2005.
In September of 2005 I was able to speak to Ms. Sandra Yarbrough, who informed me
that all of the wastewater discharges from the facility drain to a large centralized pit that only
discharges in response to storms larger than the 25 year/ 24 hour storm. I also wrote the COC to
only include stormwater leaving the site, and stated that if wastewater did leave the site the COC
would have to be amended and proper wastewater controls employed.
In order to substantiate the fact that the.pit only discharges in response to storms
equal to or greater than the 25 year/ 24 hour storm please send me drawings and
calculations that show this.
It has also come to my attention that the ownership of this facility has changed.
Please complete the enclosed name/ownership change form as well.
Please get this information to my attention by January 13, 2006.
Thank you for your cooperation, and if you have any questions please call me at
[phone], ext. 578.

Dear Ms. Georgoulias:
On behalf of Ready Mixed Concrete (Ready Mixed), Mid -Atlantic Associates, Inc. submits this letter
in response to the two letters dated January 28, 2008 issued to Mr. Rick Alexander of Ready Mixed
Concrete. After some initial investigation into the issues addressed in these letters, Ready Mixed
would like to request a meeting to discuss these issues in more detail and explore options that may
be available to adequately address them. In addition, Ready Mixed requests that -the February 29,
2008 deadline stipulated in the letters be suspended until this meeting takes place. Shortly
thereafter we feel we can establish a schedule to address these issues. Please contact me at 250-
9918 at your earliest convenience to set up this meeting.

Subject: NPDES Stormwater General Permit
Additional Information Request
NCG 140349 COC — Reams Road Plant
Mecklenburg County
On February 28, 2006, The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received a request
for a site visit from the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) to evaluate the presence of a point source
discharge at this site. After conferring with Mr. Samar Bou-Ghazale of the MRO, the Division is
requesting additional information to proceed with the appropriate permitting action.
After a site visit and discussions with the Central Office, MRO staff concluded that the stormwater
discharge from this site was in fact a point source discharge. Evidence of erosion and solids deposits at
the site indicated a concentrated flow of stormwater from the property. An NPDES permit to discharge
stormwater is therefore applicable, and we cannot approve the request to rescind the Certificate of
Coverage (COC) for this site.
The COC currently authorizes stormwater discharge only. However, this plant also operates a
wastewater treatment system. North Carolina General Statute § 143.215.1(a)(2) stipulates that a permit
is required to construct or operate any treatment works. At a minimum, an authorization to operate
(ATO) the existing wastewater system is required. Furthermore, the recycle system at this site does not
meet criteria to be permitted by rule under the Non -Discharge rules for closed -loop recycle systems
(found in 15A NCAC 2T .1000). The COC for this site should be modified to include an authorization
to operate a wastewater treatment/recycle system and discharge wastewater (in the event of overflow).
In a letter to you dated November 30, 2005, Ms. Aisha Lau of the Stormwater Permitting Unit requested
plans and calculations to demonstrate the washout pit capacity. No plans or design calculations were
ever submitted to demonstrate the pit discharges only in response to storms greater than the 25-year, 24-
hour storm event. We are unable to sufficiently process a modification to the COC without information
about the design basis of this system.

Additional information Request
January 28, 2008
Since October 2005, the Notice of Intent (NOI) Form for NCG140000 (which is also an ATC or ATO
request for existing facilities) has specified review criteria for recycle systems. A copy of the current
version of this- form is attached for your reference. An application may be considered complete if
calculations demonstrate the capacity of a recycle system to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm plus one
foot of freeboard. Please understand that demonstrating a recycle system is designed for these
conditions is not a basis for exemption from a permit. In fact, consider that periods of chronic rainfall
(two successive two-year storms, for example) may bring the same volume of water in some areas, if not
more, into the system.
Please submit plans and calculations sealed and dated by a P.E. that demonstrate compliance with
effluent limits or sufficient capacity to hold the 25-year storm with a foot of freeboard no Iater than
February 29, 2008. Be sure to clearly outline all assumptions and show a water balance, as well as
provide information about a solids accumulation management plan. Please refer to the enclosed
NCG140000 NOI form for help you submit a complete request for this COC modification and reference
your current NPDES permit number.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter further, please contact me at (919) 733-

Mr. Tart,
Attached are two additional information letters that should go out in the mail
today. I noticed from the file you were copied on previous correspondence, so I have
copied you on these as well. I understand from the Mooresville Region that one of
these sites may not have a point source discharge of stormwater, but that the other
does. However, both sites have wastewater treatment facilities that must be
permitted (regardless of whether they discharge). There seems to have been some
confusion in the past about these sites not needing a permit at all. The letters
clarify permitting requirements and explain the additional information that is needed
to conclude action. If you have any questions, please let me or my supervisor
Bradley Bennett know.

Bradley,
Attached are 3 pictures of the site. Please note the eroded downstream slope.
There are several slopes around the site that are similar to the one in the
picture. I don't believe this site will qualify for a sheet flow status.
1 agree. In the second picture I believe I see evidence of solids being carried down
slope in an area that gives the appearance of past concentrated flows. This appears
to be a point source discharge of stormwater.
Also," wastewater pond for both sites need to be checked for proper sizes since
they are claiming no discharge from wastewater pond.
I think our response to the assertion that there is no discharge is to have them
provide the engineering calculations to back up that assertion. Most of North
Carolina gets approximately 40" of rain per year. what mechanism are they proposing
that would prevent a pond from filling up with rainfall and wastewater, and
overflowing? If this were on my desk, I would ask for a water balance to back up the
assertion that there would not be a discharge from the pond.
IStorm water from this site is definitely discharging off -site. Please let me know
if you need additional info.
Samar, this is not on my desk at the moment.... Will they be submitting an ATC to us
at your direction?

Aisha,
I was hoping to complete my letter to you this morning concerning the matters we discussed on the two Ready Mixed
sites yesterday. However, I was unable to get the'Engineer letter on Hebron Rd. scanned until this afternoon. As I am
out of the office at NC DMV's office and working on my Blackberry to get this to you, please excuse the briefness of
my text. To reiterate what our intentions are on both the Reames Rd. Plant and the Hebron Rd: Plant, which is the
subject of the attached letter, we would like for the Mooresville DWQ office to schedule a time to meet myself and or
Andy Stankwytch at each site to confirm there is no point source discharge leaving our property. I may be reached by
e-mail or by calling [phone]. At the time this is confirmed(positive thinking), we would then submit a formal
request from our office, asking to have the original NOI from Carolina Concrete returned and a status of no SWP
required for both sites. Thank you for help and patience in this matter.

Dear Mr. Alexander:
The Division received a NOI for the Carolina Concrete II - Reams Rd. facility on
December 23, 2004. Due to some back logged permits on my plate I was unable to begin my
review of the application until August 9, 2005.
In September of 2005 I was able to speak to Ms. Sandra Yarbrough, who informed me
that all of the wastewater discharges from the facility drain to a large centralized pit that only
discharges in response to storms larger than the 25 year/ 24 hour storm. I also wrote the COC to
only include stormwater leaving the site, and stated that if wastewater did leave the site the COC
would have to be amended and proper wastewater controls employed.
In order to substantiate the fact that the pit only discharges in response to storms
equal to or greater than the 25 year/ 24 hour storm please send me drawings and
calculations that show this.
It has also come to my attention that the ownership of this facility has changed.
Please complete the enclosed name/ownership change form as well.
Please get this information to my attention by January 13, 2006.
Thank you for your cooperation, and if you have any questions please call me at

PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to be covered by this General Permit must register with the Division of
Water Quality by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees. 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.
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.
Facilities submitting NOIs for coverage under this permit, prior to establishment or approval of a
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for a priority pollutant(s) for stormwater discharges (i.e.
wet weather flows), may be covered under this permit during its term. For such facilities
continued coverage under the reissuance of this permit is subject to the facility demonstrating
that it does not have a reasonable potential to violate applicable water quality standards for such
pollutants due to the stormwater discharge(s). For facilities that do have a reasonable potential
for violation of applicable water quality standards due to the stormwater discharge(s) the facility
shall apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration of this general permit. Once
the individual permit is issued and becomes effective the facility will no longer have coverage
under the general permit. A list of approved TMDLs for the state of North Carolina can be found
at http:/lh2o.enr.state.ne.us/tmdl/General_TMDLs.htm
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
Permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater and/or process wastewater associated with
industrial activity as defined in this permit. Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and
monitored as specified in this permit. Although this permit requires submittal of analytical
monitoring results annually, discharges occurring throughout the year must meet the conditions
and Iimitations of this permit.
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater and process wastewater 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.
Part I Page I of 2

Permit No. NCG 140000
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 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.
SECTION C: PERMIT RENEWAL
Dischargers covered by general permits need not submit new Notices of Intent or renewal
requests unless so directed by the Division. If the Division chooses not to renew a general
permit, all facilities covered under that general permit shall be notified to submit applications for
individual permits or notified to take other appropriate actions at the discretion of the Director.

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER 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 III, 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. 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.
(b) A list of the potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges
(c) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices.
(d) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas
and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each
outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing
BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants
which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge.
(e) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants (see definitions) that have
occurred at the facility during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions
taken to mitigate spill impacts.
(f) Certification 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 in Part Ill, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 5.
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
Part II Page 1 of 1 1

Permit No. NCG140000
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 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 the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment
for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority
chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from
contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment devices have a
drain, the drain shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar
devices, which shall be secured with a locking mechanism. If there is no drain, the
containment shall be observed and pumped out as needed to maintain adequate
capacity. Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a
minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, and visible sheens,
prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be
released if found to be uncontaminated by the material stored within the
containment area. 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 years.
(c) BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
separation, debris control,. vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities
of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
3. 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 (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site 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, a SPCC plan 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.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment
Part Il Page 2 of I I

Permit No. NCG140000
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
5. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided for all
employees at a minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup
procedures and preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of
the facility's operations. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
training shall be identified.
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.
7. 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. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. Revision dates should
be included on the pages changed.
The Director, or his designee, 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, or his designee, 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,
or his designee, that the changes have been made.
8. Facility Inspection Program. Facilities are required to inspect all BMP's and stormwater
systems on at least a semiannual schedule, once in the fail (September -November) and
once during the spring (April - June). The inspection and any subsequent maintenance
activities performed shall be documented, recording date and time of inspection,
individual(s) making the inspection, and any comments. Records of these inspections
shall be incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part II of this permit shall
be performed in addition to facility inspections.
9. Implemtentation_ The permittee shall document all monitoring, measurements,
inspections and maintenance activities and training provided to employees, including the
log of the sampling data and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with the

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS - STORMWATER
DISCHARGE
1. Stormwater associated with industrial activity that is not combined with process
wastewater
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 that is not combined with process wastewater subject to the provisions of this
permit. Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified
below in Table 1.
For each parameter, the arithmetic mean of all analytical sampling results collected
during the term of the permit shall be calculated for each individual outfall. The
computed arithmetic mean is then compared to the cut-off concentrations listed below in
Table 2_ If the arithmetic mean is less than the specified cut-off concentration for a given
parameter, then the facility is not required to continue annual analytical monitoring for
that parameter (at that outfall) during the remaining term of the permit unless a significant
change in facility operations or configuration occurs. If a cut-off concentration results in
discontinued analytical monitoring at an individual discharge outfall, the permittee is
required to maintain facility operations that ensure the continuation of stormwater runoff
quality.
The mrmittee must verform analytical sampling of stormwater discharges during the first
and last vear of the permit coverage regardless of cut-off concentration conditions.
Analytical results from sampling during the final year of the permit coverage must be
submitted with the permit renewal application. All analytical monitoring'shall be
performed during a representative storm event.

2 If the stormwater runoff is controlled by a stormwater detention pond, a grab sample of the discharge
from the pond shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. If the detention pond
discharges only in response to a storm event exceeding a ten year design storm, then no analytical
monitoring is required and only qualitative monitoring shall be performed. In all cases, water leaving the
pond is to meet permit requirements.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status has been granted.
4 For each sampled representative storm event the total precipitation, storm duration, and total flow must
be monitored. Total flow shall be either; (a) measured continuously, (b) calculated based on the amount
of area draining to the outfall, the amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of
rainfall, or (c) estimated by the measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event.

2. Stormwater associated with industrial activity from on -site vehicle maintenance areas that
is not combined with process wastewater
Facilities which have any vehicle -maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more
than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year shall
perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 3. This monitoring shall be
performed at all outfalls which discharge stormwater runoff from the vehicle maintenance
areas.
For each parameter, the arithmetic mean of all analytical sampling results collected
during the coverage of the permit shall be calculated for each individual outfall. The
computed arithmetic mean is then compared to the cut-off concentrations listed below in
Table 4. If the arithmetic mean is less than the specified cut-off concentration for a given
parameter, then the facility is not required to continue annual analytical monitoring for
that parameter (at that outfall) during the remaining coverage of the permit unless a
significant change in facility operations or configuration occurs. If a cut-off
concentration results in discontinued analytical monitoring at an individual discharge
outfall, the permittee is required to maintain facility operations that ensure the
continuation of stormwater runoff quality.
The permittee must perform analytical sampling during the first and last year of the
permit coverage regardless of cut-off concentration conditions. Analytical results from
sampling during the final year of the permit coverage must be submitted with the permit

SECTION C: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS - PROCESS
WASTEWATER
This general permit authorizes the discharge of process wastewater associated with four distinct
activities: 1) Vehicle and equipment cleaning - external surfaces; 2) Overflow from recycle
systems that receive stormwater runoff; 3) Wetting of raw material stockpiles; 4) Mixing drum
cleaning. Discharge of process wastewater generated by any other activity is not authorized
under this permit. In the event that authorized process wastewaters commingle prior to
discharge, sampling the combined discharge will meet the conditions of this permit for those
separate activities, with respect to the annual sample. In the case of commingled process
wastewater, the most stringent of the applicable limits will apply.
Note: For facilities which route stormwater and all process wastewater to a recycle system,
no analytical monitoring of process wastewater discharges is required if that recycle
system discharges only as a result of a 10 year - 24 hour precipitation event.
Process Wastewater Associated with Vehicle and Equipment Cleaning
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
Pennittee is authorized to discharge process wastewater associated with vehicle and equipment
cleaning subject to the provisions of this permit. For the purposes of this permit, vehicle and
equipment cleaning is limited to the rinsing of the external surfaces of vehicles and equipment.
If detergents are used, they must be biodegradable and the pH adjusted to 6 to 9 standard units.
With or without the use of detergents, wastewater released to the waters of the State must meet
the requirements of Table 5
Analytical monitoring of process wastewater associated with vehicle and equipment cleaning
discharges shall be performed as specified below in Table 5. Annual analytical monitoring shall
be performed during a process wastewater discharge event associated with vehicle and
equipment cleaning.

2. Process Wastewater Associated with Recycle Systems
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
Perrnittee is authorized to discharge process wastewater associated with the overflow of recycle
systems subject to the provisions of this permit. Overflow discharge refers to a discharge
associated with precipitation events in excess of the design storm, which produces influent that
exceeds the design capacity of the system.
Note: By design, a recycle system is closed loop and should not discharge on a
routine or continuous basis. As such, the routine or continuous discharge of
process wastewater from recycle systems is not authorized under this permit.
Analytical monitoring of process wastewater associated with the overflow of recycle system
discharges shall be performed as specified below in Table 6. All analytical monitoring shall be
performed during a process wastewater discharge event associated with the overflow of

SECTION D: MONITORING AND RECORDS
1. 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. All samples shall be taken before the discharge
joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring
points as specified in this permit shall not be changed without notification to and
approval of the Director.
2. Recording, Results
For each measurement, sample, inspection or maintenance activity performed or collected
pursuant to the requirements of this general permit, the permittee shall record the'
following information:
a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling, measurements, inspection or
maintenance activity;
b. The individual(s) who performed the sampling, measurements, inspection or
maintenance activity;
C. The date(s) analyses were performed;
d. The individual(s) who performed the analyses;
e. The analytical techniques or methods used; and
Part III Page 8 of 19

NORTH CAR OLINA DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY
Volume I ' Angusl I, 1999
The NPD S permitting proMm's obiective is to
reduce the pollutant load entering the waters of the
state by:
1. Educating the permitted community about
stormwater and wastewater pollutants,
2. Encouraging the use of Best Management Practices
(BMPs) to minimize the entry of pollutants into the
waters of the state via stormwater and wastewater
discharges, and '
3. Using collected analytical data to assess these .
discharges contribution to water pollution to help
prioritize controls in problem areas.
Changes in Reissued General Permit
Several important changes from the previous version of
this permit are:
• Revision to the parameters for analytical monitoring
with respect to stormwater runoff from vehicle
maintenance areas. (Part II, Section B.2)
• Clarification of the types of process wastewater that
can be discharged under this permit. (Part Q, Section
C)
• Effluent limits for process wastewater discharges
have been incorporated. (Part II, Section C)
• The definition of the Representative Storm Event for
the analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges
has changed (see the definitions section of the
permit) and the sample window of April through
November has been dropped.
• Discharge Monitoring Reports for analytical
monitoring should be submitted to the Division of
Water Quality within 30 days of the date the facility
receives the laboratory results instead of waiting
until the end of the year.
• All new facilities must obtain a Certificate of
Coverage prior to beginning operation. Portable
plant exception has been eliminated.
• Clarification as to the Permittees responsibility to
notify the Division if their facility is closed or sold.
(Part Ill, Section B.2)
The Division recognizes that some of the new conditions
in the permit represent major changes. Recognizing that
constraints may exist at some facilities, the Division has
made the decision to phase -in the permits process
wastewater effluent limits. The limits will go into effect
August 1, 2001, 24 months from the effective date of the
permit. This phase in period will allow time for
permittees to conduct sampling and if needed, to make
site improvements such that the effluent limits can be met.
Please note that the phase -in period is with respect to the
effluent limits only, all other conditions, requirements,
and limits of the permit will apply from the effective date
of the permit.
Key Permit Reuuirements
• Implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SPPP). (Part 11, Section A)
• Provide secondary containment for all bulk storage of
liquid materials. (Part II, Section A. 2. (b))
• Perform annual analytical monitoring at stormwater
discharge outfalls, and submit the results on the
monitoring report forms provided with the permit.
(Part If, Section B)
• Perform annual analytical monitoring for vehicle
maintenance area, if present, and submit the results
on the monitoring report forms provided with the
permit. (Part II, Section B) .
• Perform annual analytical monitoring for process
wastewater discharges, if present, and submit the
results on the monitoring report forms provided.with
the permit. (Part 11, Section C)
• Perform and document semi-annual stormwater
discharge outfall qualitative monitoring. (Part 11,
Section D)
- Process Wastewater Discharge Sampling
This general permit authorizes the discharge of process
wastewater associated with four distinct activities:
1) Vehicle and equipment cleaning - external surfaces
2) Overflow from recycle systems that receive
stormwater runoff
3) Wetting of raw material stockpiles
4) Mixing drum cleaning
Annual monitoring is required for each activity, if they
discharge during the monitoring year. If the discharge
from multiple activities commingle prior to discharge, a
single sample will meet the intent of the monitoring
requirement. For example, if a facility has all four types
of discharges and three drain to one outfall and the fourth
drains to another outfall. A sample at each outfall (i.e. a

total of two samples) will meet the monitoring
requitement.
Discharge Monitoring Renorts (DMR
The DMR (Form SWU-241) for this permit has been
revised. Please dispose of old copies and utilize the new
forms. The form can be used for submitting analytical'
monitoring data on stormwater and/or process wastewater
discharges.
The new form is divided into three sections:
• General information
• Stormwater discharge monitoring data.
• Process wastewater discharge monitoring data
The requirement for permittees to submit duplicate signed
copies of all DMRIs to bWQ Central Files remains in
effect.
New Facilities
New or proposed facilities seeking coverage under this
General Permit are required to submit plans and
specifications for any process wastewater treatment
systems being constructed. This includes 0 treatment
systems, from passive devices such as wasbout pits and
detention ponds to more complex systems such as
mechanized recycling devices.

values should be measured in the field because they.
may change consicietably between when the sample.
is pulled and it is analyzed at the laboratory. A list of
certified labs is available from the Division.
2) What If I Sell My Business Or The Name of My
Business Changes ?
The Division views changes of name or ownership as
a minor modification and requires the Director's
