Subject: Rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG 130065
Hendersonville Location
Henderson County
On August 25, 2014 the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received your request to rescind
your coverage under Certificate of Coverage Number NCG130065. In accordance with your request,
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG 130065 is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stonnwater to waters
of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit is against federal and state laws and could result
in fines. If something changes and your facility would again require stormwater or wastewater discharge
permit coverage, you should notify this office immediately. We will be happy to assist you in assuring the
proper permit coverage.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would inform the
new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact us at 919-707-9200, or the Stormwater staff in our
Asheville Regional Office [phone].
Sincerely,

Permit: NCG130065 Owner- Facility: Henderson County
Inspection Date: 10/03/2014 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Other
Inspection Summary:
A rescission request from Henderson County was received by RCO on August 25, 2014. An inspection of this facility was
conducted October 3, 2014 by Mike Randall (RCO Stormwater) and Laura Herbert (ARO). Based on our inspection, we
agree that the stormwater exposure of the process is minimal and that the permit can be rescinded. Natalie Berry of
Henderson County was our on -site contact during the inspection. Note that since the issuance of the permit in 2011,
capital improvements have been made including the installation of a new convenience center where recyclables are
dropped off for separation and pickup by recylers and separation of the leachate collection system from the stormwater
system. The following areas (with associated comments) were inspected.
Convenience Center - This center is new and was noted as being clean with potential stormwater exposures minimized or
not significant. Natalie indicated that they sweep this area, usually daily. Used oil collection, cooking oil collection,
battery collection, used diesel/keroserwt ollection, and electronic collection areas are all under a shed with sedondary
containment. However we did note some drums and car batteries outside on pallets. Natalie was instructed that these
should be moved under cover, and during our inspection the batteries were moved under the shed roof. She indicated the
they would move all drums under roof, even if they had to extend the shed roof. This is a BMP and Henderson County was
reminded to maintain this BMP. The electronics wrapping area is not under cover, but this appears to be a low -risk activity
with respect to stormwater exposure. Once wrapped, the electronics are stored in the backofa semi -trailer (for pick-up).
The Whitegoods collection area (including the bin) is not undercover, but appears to be a low -risk activity with respect to
stormwater. Freon is removed prior to binning these items. N
Commerical Recylers area - This is the area where commercial recyclers deliver their materials. The collection bins have
sloped drains underneath each that collect any leachate from the bins, and this is piped to the leachate collection system
(which goes to a sanitary sewer/treated).
Transfer Station - previously the recycle area was here, however this has been moved to the new convenience center (see
above comment). This area is covered with three enclosed sides. In response to a DWvI inspection (May 10, 2013) which
discovered that the leachate collection system from this area was tied into the stormwater system (violation), the county
converted the stormwater system into the leachate system as part of the required corrective actions. This area is permitted
by DWM and the leachate is pumped to a sanitary sewer for treatment. Wth the new leachate collection system,
exposure of the leachate to stormwater has been addressed and exposure of the transfer operation to stormwater has been
minimized.
Vehicle Maintenance Area (adjacent to the Transfer Station) - We noted two drums outside that appeared to contain used
oil filters and used oil or antifreeze. There was some spillage noted around the drums. We instructed Henderson County to
move ALL drums in the building to prevent this type of potential exposure and to clean up the area where the spill was.
Nape agreed that they would do this. An illicit discharge previously discovered has been addressed (drain in Floor has been
eliminated). The crew was washing equipment at the time of the inspection. This practice should be reviewed by
Henderson County and exposure to the stormwater drains limited, or potentially an NPDES wastewater permit review of this
process may be necessary.
Fuel Station - Two above ground off -road diesel tanks and one gas tank were observed. Henderson County was reminded
that they must follow the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) Program for these tanks.

Once again thanks for all your comments. Yes, I agree and will send a formal response to you concerning the rescission
request. We did talk to Natalie at the time of the inspection regarding the drums and batteries exposed, and instructed
her to keep all of this type of material under cover. While we were at the convenience center, they moved the batteries
under cover. Natalie indicated that they would also get the drums under cover, even if it meant extending the shed.

Subject: RE: Henderson County Transfer Station and Convenience Center
Hi Laura,
Executive Summary: I'm still on board with rescinding this facility's coverage under NCG13. You can read all the rest
of my note here, if you want to. But the action point is: Yes, let's rescind as we agreed Friday.
I got your telephone voice message, and I'm unsure whether you sent that message and these photos before or after we
spoke on Friday.
I do have some comments on the photos, but I'm swamped through Wednesday. If we need further discussion, will it
suit your schedule for Thursday this coming week? Here are my comments on the photos, with photos of special
interest in red text:
1. Transfer Station Overview: Note the concrete apron sloping away from the charging floor. (I assume that the
floor under cover does not slope to the front (?)) Anticipate that in normal operation the concrete apron may
see some spillage. If wet materials are accepted, and if truck beds are leaking, expect that the apron is a
pollutant source for stormwoter flows. Uncertain how much/how bad. Perhaps daily maintenance more

►:
.• ® sr
substantial than just picking up the trash would be advised. I assume the covered floor has drains in it. Are we
ok with the.eventual destination of flows from any interior floor drains? Note: unless we see the sort of
problems that Mike reported from his earlier visit, and that presumably that Susan saw before, the endpoint
here is that this transfer station is unregulated, unless ARO wants to pull them into the NPDES stormwater
permitting program for bad behavior. At a similar scale and configured installation, RRO had a Waste
Management transfer station that we did pull under a permit for bad behavior. Their apron had surface water
drains that directed nasty spillage on the apron to the site storm drainage system.
2. Transfer Station Backside: I note the manhole cover in the foreground. Presumably it locates either o
wastewater pipe, or a stormwater pipe. No further comment.
3. Vehicle Maintenance Area at Transfer Station: They're steam cleaning equipment? I note sufficient flow to
generate a discharge away from the immediate area of the cleaning activity (photo foreground). ,If an off -site
discharge is produced, do they have an NPDES wastewater permit for that discharge? 1 note that photo 1 makes
it look like it was raining while you were there, but this photo does not: What don't I understand about that?
4. VMA Drums II: 1 note the dark appearance around the drums. Rain water or drum contents? You reported
that you advised them to move these under cover. We talked about your instructions to them to remove this
exposure, and whether to withhold the rescission until they actually do that as confirmed by another site
visit. I think your report was that you trust them to make this change without the necessity of a follow up visit,
right? And that we should not withhold rescission pending a return visit.
5. Commercial Recyclers Collection Area with leachate collection: Pretty clean appearance. You reported drains
under the dumpsters, but they're not visible in this photo. The whole of the apron and the asphalt pavement
appear to slope away from the dumpsters, but again, we can't see under the dumpsters in the
photo. Presumably the concrete surface is sloped to actually capture leakage from under the dumpsters and
direct any leakage into the leachate collection system, right? 1 mean, has the concrete surface under the
dumpsters actually been installed with a depression to form an effective catchment for dumpster leakage?
6. Convenience Center: Poor practices here: batteries are not undercover. Drums are stored without containment
and flow appears to be away from the pad while the ground around the drums appears to be wet. Lids are not
fully secured on two of the metal drums.
7. CC Used Oil Collection (Large): No comment.
8. CC Cooking Oil Collection (Large): No comment.
9. CC Electronics Collection I (Large): No comment.
10. CC Battery Collection (Large): No comment.
11. CC Electronics Wrapping (Large): Obviously exposure of materials not intended for outdoor use. No
containment. Is that a battery or a rat -trap next to the fence? Probably a low -risk activity wrt stormwater
pollution generation.
12. CC Whitegoods Collection (Large): I note that the collection area does not have containment, as evidenced by
the wet front of the dock. Probably a low -risk area wrt stormwater pollution.
13. CC Whitegoods Collection Bin (Large): Does not appear that this dumpster is either under cover or within
containment. Probably a low -risk area for stormwater pollution.
14. CC Used Kerosene Collection (Large): No comment.
15. CC Recycle Bin Collection Area II: Pad for these two large roll -offs presumably slopes away from the placement
location. Uncertain if your report of drains to the leachate system included these two roll -offs as well. Drains not
visible in the photo. Not sure of the content of these two roll -offs.
16. VIVA Drums: Some two drums as in photo #4. Unclear to me now whether these two drums are in a local low
spot, and so the wet area is other drainage into this area or whether these two drums are located on a local high
spot, and the flow is away from the area, and presumably into the site drainage system. I'm also unsure if the
darkened area is rainwater or drum contents.
To recap our voice -to -voice review on Friday:
• NCG12 for landfills would not be appropriate coverage here since the transfer station and CC are located at a
closed landfill, i.e., no longer an active landfilling site. IMO we can't regulate this activity under NPDES on the
basis of its past relationship with a regulated activity (landfilling.)

• NCG13 for non-metal recycling, and NCG20 for scrap metal recycling might be considered as possible candidate
permits at this location. In my view the choice between non-metal and metal recycling is not germane to
whether they would need NPDES permit coverage. The site has both activities (Site has requested ARO and
RCO to rescind their current coverage under NCG13.) Their current operating model is to receive waste materials
from citizens and businesses, have the citizens self -segregate the materials, and have a third party contractor
pick up the segregated materials. It seems to me that that is pretty close to a recycling activity that requires
an NPDES permit. HOWEVER, their operation does not look like other commercial scrap metal recyclers. It
also does not look like a PET bottle MRF type operation; nor does it look like a paper and cardboard and rags
commercial recycling operation. It's my opinion that we should grant this request for a rescission. Consider the
following in support of this opinion:
o ARO does not see any surface water threat here based on site inspections;
o The site conditions and threat that Susan apparently saw some years ago has apparently been addressed
satisfactorily — Mike reports a great improvement in site conditions over time,
o Our track records with two types of activities does not support permitting here:
• We have generally said that small scale "convenience centers" are not regulated - - admittedly,
this is not small scale as we have previously thought of it, but the idea that it is a regulated
industrial recycling activity doesn't quite fit intuitively, either;
• We have avoided regulating commercial transfer stations, except where bad behavior figured
into our perspective, and a stormwater permit was seen as one mechanism for improved
protection of surface waters. (RRO and Waste Management facility.)
o The future of storm water permitting in the solid waste world waits for us to work on it. It is well
established that from the start of the program we have regulated MSW landfills and industrial material
landfills. But we have had to recently re -inform and re -clarify for the industry that C&D landfills are
indeed regulated under NPDES just like other landfills, but that demolition debris landfills are not
regulated. And, we had to recently persuade a doubting industry that the composting of solid waste was
indeed regulated under NPDES. We have not vet developed crisp and rigid self -guidance on how to
think of all the semi -recycling activities that can take place at an operating landfill: composting, white
goods, electronics, C&0, waste oil, pesticides, etc. My point here being that several of the sub -sectors of
the solid waste world may eventually be captured and crisply delineated in ourstormwater permitting
program. But, the permitting of those sub -sectors will require a focused initiative that we don't have
staff time to accomplish at the moment. In this case, absent a pressing threat to surface water, 1 would
postpone the staff time expense necessary to carry out a thorough examination of the industry
conditions and permitting needs for these developing co -activities at landfills. We can't do it right now,
and this particular instance would not be a good test case in support of an expanded program. I guess
what I'm saying in this bullet is because of all the relevant factors note above, 1 think we should have
programmatic certainty if we were to continue to require NCG13 under the improved current
conditions at this site, and we don't have that today. Even with the site deficiencies and uncertainties I
note in the red -text photo notes above, I think our best path forward for this site is to rescind their
coverage under NCG13.

La u ra,
We have been working with Natalie for some time now trying to characterize this site. Prior to the SW transfer, Susan
Wilson was working with Natalie. Natalie was instructed by both Susan and us to develop an SWPPP plan. I met with
Natalie on March 7, 2014 to review her drafted SW PPP plan and discuss the site. During the meeting Natalie indicated
that at this site, people bring in white goods/scrap metal and electronic goods for recycle. These goods are then sorted
for pick up by recyclers. In addition she indicated that there is a grate/outlet (potential SW exposure) under the white
goods/scrap metal collection container. This site is adjacent to a closed landfill, a school bus garage, and vehicle
maintenance area (see attached site plan that Natalie provided in March). There's a lot going on out here, and I think a
site visit is necessary to determine what operation, if any, is subject to SW permitting requirements. Natalie should

takes place." I recommend a site inspection prior to a decision on the rescission request. I will follow up with Ken

Hi Natalie,
I can answer a portion of your question and we may need to have a phone conversation about the remainder. You
should record your actions, elimination of nonstormwater outfalls, in your annual certification. You do not have to
detail how you eliminated the outfall here; you simply need to state that they have been permanently
eliminated. Additionally, you will need to update your site map to accurately reflect the current drainage scheme at the
site. The pertinent permit text is detailed below:

Permit Text (Part II, Section A, (1), (e)):
Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of nonstormwater discharges. The
permittee shall recertify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
nonstormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5.

As discussed on the telephone earlier this morning, I request an extension on the preparation of the S WPPP as
stated in the subject line. The reason for the request is for finishing up putting together the submittal regarding
the transfer station illicit discharge and the maintenance garage illicit discharge. We have eliminated these two

Dear Ms. Wilson P.E.,
This letter is a response to the NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection letter sent to
Mr. Marcus A. Jones P.E., Director of Engineering dated April 15, 2013. The Convenience
Center (aka recycle center) is operating under NPDES General Permit NCG130000 Henderson
County Solid Waste Facility COC No. NCG130065. Our address changed for the Facilities once
construction was complete, please note the new addresses below:

First, we would like to say thank ,you for recognizing all the hard work and dedication that has
been put into the facility in the past 23 months since your last Site Inspection Report dated May
23. 2011. We are very proud of our facility and take extreme pride in the appearance and our
compliance with reeulations. That being said below is our responses to the compliance
inspection comments:
The items that were discussed and required to be addressed are as follows:
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must be developed and
m-merned.

may be other outfalls directed into the unnamed3ributary`nor"thwe- trof the property that
++n �41cna�aos: a11iv�A,•q
also needs to be identified.
*Also noted in the letter were continuing efforts in stabilizing the former landfill area and
various ditch lines. The existing in -line basins should continue to be visually monitored to
ensure no loss of sediment downstream.
*Trucks containing refuse should not be parked near the creek and near any area that may
drain to surface waters.
Below are the responses to the outlined items above:
The S WPPP is underway, we will have this document complete by September 16,
2013. This will be the end of the two years for the general permit NCG130000
Henderson County Solid Waste Facility COC No. NCG130065. The document is
being prepared now but has some items not complete at this time. The answer to
number 2 must be complete and an as -built developed and included in this SWPPP is
in part reason for the delay in submitting the document. If the SWPPP is completed
in advance of the date, we will submit immediately to the DWQ office for review and
comment and/or approval.
2. The illicit discharge has been identified and is in the process of being eliminated (this
item is in reference to discharge fiom the transfer area as well as the floor drain in the
vehicle maintenance area). The other outfalls have been identified as well.
In the past, we did analytical monitoring in lieu of quantitative monitoring. In the
future, per the schedule outlined in the permit, we will begin the quantitative
monitoring of all outfalls identified in this response letter.
For the elimination of the illicit discharge from the transfer station area that is not
covered under this storm water permit see attachment "A", approval fi-om NCDENR
Waste Management permitting Section, Larry Frost, on changes to storm water
system at transfer station. Construction is to begin on May 20, 2013 and is expected
to be complete within two weeks (weather permitting). The contractor has already
been secured. The cost of the rerouting of the system is also being included in
attachment "A". Basically, we are closing the storm water system off and routing it
into the grit chamber which in turn goes into the pump station located on site and
turning it into a closed leachate system for the transfer station area. We are placing
accessible covers on the outside existing catch basins so that storm water will not
enter and then constructing a berm at the base of the slope to direct storm water to a
yard inlet behind the vehicle maintenance structure. which is for storm water only and
is directed to the unnamed tributary. This will be one outfall that will be tested twice

a year for qualitative monitoring measures as required by the permit referenced in
item 1 above.
For the elimination of the illicit discharge from the vehicle maintenance area. see
attachment `B", a photograph of the floor drain. The drain itself has been sealed with
cement so any fluid will not leave the drain in the garage area. The outfall associated
with this garage Floor drain directed into the unnamed tributary will no longer be
tested for analytical monitoring measures since it has been taken offline. In addition,
the used oil containment (kept outside) by the vehicle maintenance area will be
inspected weekly for leaks and also when the oil is removed by the contractor.
The previous analytical monitoring is included as attachment "C" for your records.
Trucks containing refuse are still parked in the same area but a leachate collection
system was installed as part of the construction project. The leachate collection
system is at the rear of the vehicles. A berm has been added to the stream side of the
trucks to keep any leaks of leachate from migrating into the stream. Another
precaution that has been implemented is buckets have been placed near the trucks so
when a leak is noticed, the buckets can be placed under the leak until the vehicle can
be moved.
We constructed a shed to house all the equipment when not in use to keep out of the
elements. See attachment "D" for photograph of shed.
We also have made great strides in our continued efforts in stabilizing efforts of the
closed landfill as well as the closed construction and demolition landfill, please see
attachment "E" for photographs.
We look forward to hearing from you on our continued achievements and schedule for further
achievements. We will be from
you to assist in the outfall identification on the SWPPP to
make sure that our plan is acceptable prior to submittal.

responses. My direct telephone number [phone] for office and [phone] for cell

RE: Converting Stormwater System into Leachate System
Dear Mr. Frost,
On May 10, 2013, Andrea Keller, Environmental Senior Specialist, of the Solid Waste
Section made a follow up visit at 191 Transfer Station Drive in Hendersonville, NC. The
follow up visit was for a visit from a visit on Monday of that same week with Manager
Greg Wiggins. On the visit, Mr. Wiggins and Ms. Keller discussed the transfer station
drain system being tied into what looked to be the stormwater system drains. Upon
further review by Mr. Wiggins, it was found that Ms. Keller's assessment was correct.
Mr. Wiggins drew up a sketch for Ms. Keller to review when she visited on Friday to
review. I set in on the visit for Friday the 10th, and assisted in the discussions on the
transfer station drains. Ms. Keller agreed the sketch looked as if it might be a good
correction to the immediate issue of getting leachate into our stormwater system. She
did suggest that the sketch be sent to the permitting branch to ensure that if a permit
modification needed to be secured prior to work beginning we would be in compliance.
As we discussed on the phone on Friday, I have drawn up a sketch that shows the new
layout of the system as best as I can with old imagery. The surface water in question is
at the bottom of photograph at the left corner and the stormwater system at this time is
directly piped to outfall into the stream. This sketch has the system rerouted directly
into the grit chamber the pipe that is directed into the stream will either be removed or
will be capped off so as not to be used in the future. There is a yard inlet farther down
on the right side of the blue berm that we are creating that has another direct pipe to the
stream and it will be strictly stormwater. This should fix the imminent threat of leachate
getting into our stowmater system which could get into the surface water on our site,
which could leave out site.
Please let me know if you need anything else to assess this sketch for compliance with
permitting. We are ready to construct the minute your office gives us the clearance to
go ahead. We appreciate your time and attention to this matter.

RE: Converting Stormwater System into Leachate System
Dear Mr. Frost,
On May 10, 2013, Andrea Keller, Environmental Senior Specialist, of the Solid Waste
Section made a follow up visit at 191 Transfer Station Drive in Hendersonville, NC. The
follow up visit was for a visit from a visit on Monday of that same week with Manager
Greg Wiggins. On the visit, Mr. Wiggins and Ms. Keller discussed the transfer station
drain system being tied into what looked to be the stormwater system drains. Upon
further review by Mr. Wiggins, it was found that Ms. Keller's assessment was correct.
Mr. Wiggins drew up a sketch for Ms. Keller to review when she visited on Friday to
review. I set in on the visit for Friday the 10th, and assisted in the discussions on the
transfer station drains. Ms. Keller agreed the sketch looked as if it might be a good
correction to the immediate issue of getting Ieachate into our stormwater system. She
did suggest that the sketch be sent to the permitting branch to ensure that if a permit
modification needed to be secured prior to work beginning we would be in compliance.
As we discussed on the phone on Friday, I have drawn up a sketch that shows the new
layout of the system as best as I can with old imagery. The surface water in question is
at the bottom of photograph at the left corner and the stormwater system at this time is
directly piped to outfall into the stream. This sketch has the system rerouted directly
into the grit chamber the pipe that is directed into the stream will either be removed or
will be capped off so as not to be used in the future. There is a yard inlet farther down
on the right side of the blue berm that we are creating that has another direct pipe to the
stream and it will be strictly stormwater. This should fix the imminent threat of Ieachate
getting into our stowmater system which could get into the surface water on our site,
which could leave out site.
Please let me know if you need anything else to assess this sketch for compliance with
permitting. We are ready to construct the minute your office gives us the clearance to
go ahead. We appreciate your time and attention to this matter.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The North Carolina Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (NC DENR) performed
inspections of the Henderson County Solid Waste Transfer Station (transfer station), Permit No. 45-04T,
on May 6 and 10, 2013. During the inspections, it was discovered that trench drains, used to collect
water that has contacted waste, were clogged and had overflowed, resulting in liquid flowing to unpaved
areas and into surface water drains. NC DENR issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) on June 10, 2013, that
requires steps be taken to come into compliance by July 1, 2013. Golder Associates NC, Inc. (Golder)
has prepared this Soil and Surface Water Assessment Plan (Plan) to address item d) of the compliance
schedule of the NOV, which states:
d) Submit a Plan for review approval to the Section that details a proposed soil and surface
water assessment for the regions potentially impacted by the clogged trench drains associated
with the lower transfer bays and associated storm drains located outside the two lower loading
bays
Golder contacted Jaclynne Drummond of NC DENR on June 12, 2013, for clarification regarding the
required components of the Plan requested in the NOV. The following Plan is based on criteria provided
by Jaclynne Drummond and Andrea Keller of NC DENR.
2.0 SOIL AND SURFACE WATER MONITORING PROGRAM
Soil samples and surface water samples will be collected from areas potentially impacted by liquid that
escaped from the transfer station collection system due to the clogged trench drains.
2.1 Soil Sampling Locations
Three soil samples will be collected from areas potentially impacted by liquid from the transfer station.
The locations are shown on Figure 1. One soil sample location (Soil-2) is located adjacent to the
stormwater drain identified as Area 3 in the Facility Compliance Inspection Report (FCIR). The second
soil sample location (Soil-3) is adjacent to the stormwater drain identified as Area 4 in the FCIR. The third
soil sample location (Soil-4) is in the grassy area downgradient of the stormwater drain in Area 4.
Additionally, a background soil sample (Soil-1) will be collected in an area not anticipated to be impacted
by the transfer station or landfill activities. The purpose of the background sample is to provide a
measurement of the concentration of naturally occurring metals and/or background sources unrelated to
the transfer station activities in the area of the investigation.
2.2 Surface Water Sampling Locations
Figure 1 shows the location where the stormwater drains identified in Areas 2, 3, and 4 in the FCIR
discharge into a surface water feature. One upstream surface water sample (TSSW-1) will be collected to
g:blOjeCl5NBI1CBf60fI C0011(/QfB115fBf nation soil and 511f/BCB W812f BSSB55080tPIB0\SOiI and WIfBCB W81BI e55B55111B01 plan -IIBIIEBf50n fA 1500CM Associates

June 2013 2 083-9650612.700
measure background surface water quality, and one downgradient surface water sample (TSSW-2) will
be collected downstream of the discharge, as shown on Figure 1.
3.0 SOIL AND SURFACE WATER SAMPLING METHODOLOGY
The following sections will describe the methodology of collecting soil and surface water samples.
3.1 Soil Sampling Methodology
Soil samples Soil-1, Soil-2, Soil-3, and Soil-4 will be collected utilizing a decontaminated stainless steel
hand auger. Samples will be collected between 1 and 2 feet below ground surface (bgs) and placed into
sample containers provided by the laboratory. The background sample (Soil-1) will be sampled first to
minimize potential cross -contamination. After collection, the samples will be placed in a cooler on ice,
under chain -of -custody control. Sampling logs will be recorded for each sampling location that includes a
description of the sampling equipment, sampling location, soil characteristics, sampling method, and field
observations.
3.2 Surface Water Sampling Methodology
Surface water samples TSSW-1 and TSSW-2 will be collected by lowering the laboratory -supplied sample
containers into the stream flow, taking care to prevent the overflow of the sample containers and to
minimize sample -induced turbidity. Measurements of temperature, pH, specific conductivity, oxidation-
reduction potential, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity will be recorded during the collection of the surface
water samples. The downstream location (TSSW-2) will be sampled first, followed by the upstream
location (TSSW-1) to minimize potential impacts to water quality at the sample locations.
After collection, the samples will be placed in a cooler on ice, under chain -of -custody control. Sampling
logs will be recorded for each sampling location that includes a description of the sampling equipment,
sampling location, sampling method, field observations (e.g., estimated flow), and water quality
measurements.
4.0 SOIL AND SURFACE WATER SAMPLE ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
Soil and surface water samples will be shipped to a NC certified laboratory under chain -of -custody
control, and samples will be analyzed for parameters required by the NC DENR, as described in detail in
the following sections of the Plan.
4.1 Chain -of -Custody Program
The chain -of -custody program includes sample labels, sample seal, field logbook, and chain -of -custody
record. Legible sample labels, sufficiently durable to remain legible when wet, will contain the following
information: Site and sample identification number; date and time of collection; name of collector;
parameters to be analyzed; and preservative, if applicable.

The shipping container will be sealed to ensure that the samples have not been disturbed during transport
to the laboratory. The seal is labeled with instructions to notify the shipper if the seal is broken prior to
receipt at the laboratory. The field logbook (or individual sample logs) will contain documentation of the
following: Sample identification; field meter calibration information, if applicable; date and time of
collection; sampling sequence; types of sample containers used and sample identification numbers;
preservative used; field analysis data and methods, if applicable; field observations; name of collector(s);
and climatic conditions including air temperatures and precipitation.
The chain -of -custody record is required for documenting sample possession, from the time of collection to
the time of receipt at the laboratory. A chain -of -custody record will accompany each individual shipment.
The record will contain the following information: Sample destination and transporter; sample identification
numbers; signature of collector; date and time of collection; sample type; number of sample containers in
shipping container; parameters requested for analysis; signature of person(s) involved in the chain of
possession; inclusive dates of possession; internal temperature of shipping container upon opening in
laboratory (noted by the laboratory). A copy of the completed chain -of -custody form will accompany the
shipment and will be returned to the shipper after the shipping container reaches its destination. The
chain -of -custody record will also be used as the analysis request sheet.
4.2 Soil Sample Analysis Procedure
A laboratory certified by the NC DENR will be utilized for analysis of the soil samples. Analyses will be
performed in accordance with USEPA SW-846 methods in accordance with the USEPA guidance
document (USEPA, 1997). Soil samples will be analyzed for the NC Appendix I list of parameters plus
pH.
4.3 Surface Water Sample Analysis Procedure
A laboratory certified by the NC DENR will be utilized for analysis of the surface water samples. Analyses
will be performed in accordance with USEPA SW-846 methods in accordance with the USEPA guidance
document (USEPA, 1997). Surface water samples will be analyzed for the NC Appendix I list of
parameters. Measurements of temperature, pH, specific conductance, oxidation-reduction potential,
dissolved oxygen, and turbidity will be recorded at the time of collection of the surface water samples.
5.0 SOIL AND SURFACE WATER MONITORING RESULTS EVAULATION
METHODOLOGY
Soil and surface water sampling results will be evaluated using soil and surface water screening values
recommended by the NC DENR for potential solid waste impacts to environmental media. Quantified
concentrations of analytes detected in soil will be compared to the Preliminary Residential Health -Based
Soil Remediation Goals and/or the Protection of Ground Water Soil Remediation Goals found in the NC
DENR Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals Table for detected analytes,

when available. If more than one standard is available for a given constituent, the lower standard will be
used to evaluate analytical data. Quantified concentrations of analytes detected in surface water samples
will be compared to the 15A NCAC 2B Standards for detected analytes, when available.
6.0 CLOSING
Results from the soil and surface water sampling and analysis will be summarized and forwarded to the
NC DENR. If one or more analytes (detected at quantified concentrations) exceed available screening
values referenced in this Plan, the County will contact the NC DENR in order to discuss a recommended,
appropriate course of action.

Dear Mr. Jones:
Natural Resources
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
The Solid Waste Section has completed a review of the Soil and Surface Water Assessment Plan dated
June 19, 2012 (DIN 19163) and submitted on behalf of Henderson County by Golder Associates NC, Inc.
for the Henderson County Transfer Station. The Soil and Surface Water Assessment Plan was submitted
in response to the Notice of Violation issued on June 10, 2013.
Within the Notice of Violation, Henderson County is required to submit a plan for review and approval to
the Solid Waste Section that details a proposed soil and surface water assessment for the regions
potentially impacted by the clogged trench drains associated with the lower transfer bays and associated
storm drains located outside the two lower loading bays.
The Soil and Surface Water Assessment Plan includes subsurface soil sampling and surface water
sampling at specific locations. Three subsurface soil samples and a background subsurface soil sample
will be collected. The baseline sample will be collected to characterize the native soils and baseline
concentrations at the facility. The subsurface soil samples will be analyzed for Appendix 1 of 40 CPR
258 (Volatile Organic Compounds and Metals) and pH. Two surface water samples will also be collected
that will include one upstream sample and one sample downstream of the discharge. The surface water
samples will be analyzed for Appendix 1 of 40 CFR 258 (Volatile Organic Compounds and Metals) and
the field parameters pH, specific conductance, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), dissolved oxygen,
and turbidity. The results of the soil and surface water sampling event will then be submitted to the Solid
Waste Section.
As a result, the Soil and Surface Water Assessment Plan is approved as described. Please implement the
approved plan within seven days of receipt of this letter, and please also submit the results of the soil and
surface water sampling event within 30 days of receiving the analytical results from the laboratory. If you
have any questions or concerns regarding this letter, please contact me at 919-707-8294 or by email at

John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
This letter is in follow-up to the NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection conducted on
February 28, 2013. Susan Wilson and Jonathan Stepp, Division of Water Quality — Asheville
Regional Office, met with Natalie Berry at the Recycle Center. The facility was not in compliance
with permit NCG 130065.
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Inspection Report, which contains additional observations
and comments for your reference.
The following items were discussed and must be addressed:
1. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must be developed and implemented.
2. Illicit discharges must be identified and eliminated (this item is in reference to discharge
from the transfer area as well as the floor drain in the vehicle maintenance area). There
may be other outfalls directed into the unnamed tributary northwest of the property that
also need to be identified.
The County should continue its efforts in stabilizing the former landfill area and various ditchlines.
The existing in -line basins should continue to be visually monitored to ensure no loss of sediment
downstream.
The Division can assist Henderson County regarding appropriate areas to designate as stormwater
discharge outfalls (SDOs), as was discussed during the inspection. Outlining drainage areas and
flow patterns will help with this matter.

Inspection Summary
Susan Wilson and Jonathan Stepp met Natalie Berry (Henderson County) at the recycle center. The county has done
considerable work at the recycle center (at the old landfill). Some areas that were problematic previously have been
eliminated (specifically, issues related to Items 4 & 5 in the letter from DWQ dated May 23, 2011).
At the time of inspection the drop inlets (stormwater drains) at the transfer station still had not been identified/eliminated
(Item 2 of letter). This must be resolved as this is essentially a 'wastewater' discharge that is not permitted under the
stormwater permit for the recycle center.
The SWPPP must be developed and include all major elements as described in the permit (including a drainage layout
and all stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs) identified).

RE: NPDES Stormwater Permit Site Inspection (dated May 23, 201 1)
Dear Ms. Wilson,
In response to your letter dated May 23, 2011 regarding the results of the site inspection
conducted on April 28, 2011. Below are our responses to the concerns outlined:
Henderson County must apply for an NCG130000 industrial stormwater permit. A
Notice of Intent was presented to you during the inspection. An additional copy has been
attached for your use (along with the "technical Bulletin for NCG 130000 facilities). A
fee of $100.00 made payable to the Division of Water Quality is also required with the
application.
Answer: Henderson County will apply for the NCG130000 industrial stormwater
permit within 60 days from today.
As part of the application, all stormwater outfalls associated with the recycling area
should be identified. As we discussed, please provide written confirmation that the
stormwater outfalls (drop inlets) near the transfer station are directed to the pump station
that ultimately goes to the sanitary sewer. If any drop inlets near the transfer station are
not directed to the sanitary sewer, please identify their ultimate destination to surface
waters and note them as a stormwater outfall.
Answer: Henderson County will hire an outside contractor to examine the drop inlets
and associated pipes to determine their destination. This is the reason for stating the
60 day from today needed to apply on the NCG130000 industrial stormwater permit.
3. On -Site vehicle maintenance is conducted in the garage by the transfer station. As we
discussed, there is a floor drain that may or may not be discharging to the sanitary sewer
(pump station) on -site. The Floor drain pathway should be identified/confirmed. As long
as vehicle maintenance activities are conducted inside the garage and the floor drain is
directed to the sanitary sewer, analytical monitoring associated with stormwater from this
activity will not be required. However, there should be no exposure of used oil, hydraulic
fluid, etc. On the day of the inspection, some spent oil was noted on soils outside of the

VW
0
�k
Henderson County Engineering
garage. This should be prevented in the future (or the County may be subject to
analytical monitoring associated with vehicle maintenance).
Answer: The on -site maintenance is not conducted by the transfer station. This
activity is conducted by a third party organization named McCurry Mechanics out of
Asheville, NC. Henderson County has however proposed to take over the vehicle
maintenance in the very near future. Henderson County will hire an outside
contractor to examine the floor drain and associated pipes to determine their
destination. This is the reason for stating the 60 clays from today needed to apply on
the NCGI30000 industrial stormwater permit. Henderson County will cleanup
around the Shop structure and ensure that all activities be conducted inside the
structure. No storage will be allowed out of doors.
4. With regard to convenience center/public drop-off, the Division understands that this area
will be moved after construction of the new area, which is currently in progress. Until
that time, there is an area with roll-off/garbage collection (sitting below the convenience
area) that should be identified. It would be beneficial to Flenderson County to prevent, as
much as possible, direct conveyance of stormwater to the nearby tributary. Qualitative
monitoring should be conducted at this area if there is no way to prevent the conveyance
of stormwater to the tributary.
Answer: Henderson County will modify this area to prevent the direct conveyance of
stormwater to the nearby tributary.
5. It was noted during the inspection that the area of electronics collection, battery
collection, etc. had some exposure (overflow from the covered area). This should be
prevented as much as possible; otherwise this should be considered an outfall for
qualitative monitoring. This Division understands that this area will also be moved after
completion of construction.
Answer: The electronics are has been relocated into the existing convenience center.
This relocation is temporary. /t will be relocated into the new convenience center
currently corder construction. All electronics will be kept wider the current blue
building. Henderson County will consider purchasing a new Shed to locate
electronics, batteries, etc under to keep them out of the weather. Henderson County
request that DWQ allow us to postpone the purchase of such Shed until the move is
complete. We do not know how large an area we will have dedicated to electronics
until the area is complete. Also, it is virtually impossible to relocate a shed once it has
been set in place without severe damage to the structure.
As discussed during the inspection, sediment loss was noted from the new construction
area. The original in -line basins (likely constructed with the original landfill site, that is
now closed), appeared to be full of newer sediment; likely, there are also impacts to the
surface waters upstream of these basins. After the site is stabilized, a follow-up
inspection will be conducted to fully determine that potential impact and determine a
course of action to restore the surface waters. This area should be monitored and
sediment should be prevented from migrating beyond the in -line basins.

Henderson County Engineering
Answer: The basin bus been cleaned out and will be continually cleaned out as
needed. Once the site is stabilized, Henderson County will contact the Division to
conduct a follow-up inspection to determine the course of action required by
Henderson County.
Another issue with the new construction was noted near the transfer station. As with the
area discussed in Item #6, Henderson County should ensure that no sediment is lost from
this area (which includes discussing this with the on -site contractor; should existing
measures not prevent sediment loss to surface waters, additional erosion control measures
may be necessary, as you are aware). Please confirm who is responsible for the
construction stormwater monitoring at the site.
Answer: The measures are now in place and sediment is not leaving the site. The
responsibility of the construction stormwater monitoring (NPDES permit) is the
contractor. The responsibility of the self -inspection program is the Engineer (McGill)
contracted to oversee the construction at the site.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss. We hope that
our responses and timelines are acceptable to the Division.

Dear Ms. Berry: CENTRAL FILES
On August 25, 2014 the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received your requesstt toErescrn�I
your coverage under Certificate of Coverage Number NCG 130065. In accordance with your request,
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG 130065 is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stormwater to waters
of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit is against federal and state laws and could result
in fines. If something changes and your facility would again require stormwater or wastewater discharge
permit coverage, you should notify this office immediately. We will be happy to assist you in assuring the
proper permit coverage.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would inform the
new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact us at 919-707-9200, or the Stormwater staff in our
Asheville Regional Office [phone].
Sincerely,
4e.)

Inspection Date: 1610312014 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Other
Inspection Summary:
A rescisslon request from Henderson County was received by RCO on August 25, 2014, An Inspection of this facility was
conducted October 3, 2014 by Mike Randall (RCO Stormwater) and Laura Herbert (ARO). Based on our inspection, we
agree that the stormwater exposure of the process is minimal and that the permit can be rescinded. Natalie Berry of
Henderson County was our on -site contact during the inspection. Note that since the issuance of the permit in 2011,
capital improvements have been made including the installation of a new convenience center where recyclables are
dropped off for separation and pickup by recylers and separation of the leachate collection system from the stormwater
system. The following areas (with associated comments) were inspected.
Convenience Center - This center is new and was noted as being clean with potential stormwater exposures minimized or
not significant. Natalie indicated that they sweep this area, usually daily. Used oil collection, cooking oil collection,
battery collection, used diesel/keroseefcollection, and electronic collection areas are all under a shed with sedondary
containment. However we did note same drums and car batteries outslde on pallets. Natalie was instructed that these
should be moved under cover, and during our inspection the batteries were moved under the shed roof. She indicated that
they would move all drums under roof, even if they had to extend the shed roof. This is a BMP and Henderson County was
reminded to maintain this BMP. The electronics wrapping area is not under cover, but this appears to be a low -risk activity
with respect to stormwater exposure. Once wrapped, the electronics are stored in the back of a semi -trailer (for pick-up).
The Whitegoods collection area (including the bin) is not undercover, but appears to be a low -risk activity with respect to
stormwater. Freon is removed prior to binningtheseitems.
Commerical Recylers area - This is the area where commercial recyclers deliver their materials. The collection bins have
sloped drains underneath each that collect any leachate from the bins, and this is piped to the leachate collection system
(which goes to a sanitary sewer/treated).
Transfer Station - previously the recycle area was here, however this has been moved to the new convenience center (see
above comment). This area is covered with three enclosed sides. In response to a DWM inspection (May 10, 2013) which
discovered that the leachate collection system from this area was tied into the stormwater system (violation), the county .
converted the stormwater system into the leachate system as part of the required corrective actions. This area is permitted
by DWM and the leachate is pumped to a sanitary sewer for treatment. With the new leachate collection system,
exposure of the leachate to stormwater has beery addressed and exposure of the transfer operation to stormwater has been -
minimized.
Vehicle Maintenance Area (adjacent to the Transfer Station) - We noted two drums outside that appeared to contain used
oil filters and used oil or antifreeze. There was some spillage noted around the drums. We instructed Henderson County to
move ALL drums In the building to prevent this type of potential exposure and to dean up the area where the spill was.
Nagle agreed that they would do this. An Illicit discharge previously discovered has been addressed (drain in floor has been
eliminated). The crew was washing equipment at the time of the inspection. This practice should be reviewed by
Henderson County and exposure to the stormwater drains limited, or potentially an NPDES wastewater permit review of this
process may be necessary.
Fuel Station -Two above ground off -road diesel tanks and one gas tank were observed. Henderson County was reminded
that they must follow the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) Program for these tanks.
