2.0 INTRODUCTION
The Water Quality Act of 1987 (Section 402(p)) requires that operators of
certain facilities which discharge stormwater associated with industrial
activity apply for a permit to conduct such activities. BCI Materials is
covered under North Carolina General Permit No. NCG160000. The
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR) has therefore been delegated authority to implement and manage
North Carolina's stormwater program. Part I1, Section A of the permit
requires that the permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP) in an effort to reduce pollutant discharge to
surface waters.
2.1 FACILITY LOCATION
The BCI Materials facility is located at 1131 Atando Avenue, Charlotte,
NC. A site location map is presented in Appendix A as Figure 1.
2.2 FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The manufacturing site consists of four areas: Area A: Liquid asphalt
storage; Area B: Manufacturing and processing area; Area C: Storage of
raw materials; and Area D: Loading area for finished products. The
facility is located in an mixed industrial area.
2.3 FACILITY OPERATIONS
The BCI Materials facility is a manufacturer of asphalt emulsions. The
manufacturing process of asphalt emulsions consists of blending liquid
asphalt with a soap solution through a mIll. The emulsions manufactured
at the facility are cationic in nature. Liquid asphalt is received on -site via
tanker truck and stored in one of the tanks designated as A-1, A-2, or A-3.
The asphalt is mixed with soaps, amines or hvdrochloric acid to produce
an asphalt emulsion. Finished product emulsion materials are stored in
tanks E-1 through E-6 located in Area C. The final products are loaded
onto tanker trucks and are weighed before transportation off -site.
ERN NC, INC. 2-1 112017

2.4 FACILITY DRAINAGE
All stormwater at the facility drains via three outfalls designated as
Outfalls 01, 02, and 03. Stormwater flow at the facility generally drains to
the northwest. Each outfall drains to an unnamed tributary. leading to
Irwin Creek, which is located off -site. Irwin Creek is located within the
Catawba River basin.

In addition, the facility has the potential to store two 55-gallon drums of
hot oil on -site at any given time. The drums are stored within a
containment area.
3.1.2.2 Loading and Unloading
All bulk storage tanks located outdoors have secondary containment. The
dispensing truck unloads at the east side of the facility. The truck is
grounded, the wheels are blocked, and BCI representative is present
during all loading and unloading operations. Feed lines to all bulk
storage tanks are equipped with check valves and locks. Inspections of
the check valves and locks are conducted monthly. Final products are
weighed prior to transport at the east side of the facility. Loading areas
are shown on Figure 2 of Appendix A.
3.1.2.3 Dust or Particulate Generation
There are no dust generating processes at the facility.
3.1.2.4 Waste Disposal Practices
All waste generated at this facility is segregated and brought to an off -site
dumpster.
3.1.3 Site Map [Part 11,Section A.l.c]
Figure 2 of Appendix A accurately depicts the location of each outfall and
associated industrial activities at the facility.
Area 01 consists of Areas A and B of the site plan. Stormwater exposure
consists of the storage tanks and roof drainage. Stormwater drainage
from Area 01 is conveyed via stormwater drainage structures and
stormwater pipes to 6utfa1101.
Area 02 consists of Areas D, and parts of Areas B and C of the site plan.
Stormwater exposure consists of the storage tanks and the loading area.
Stormwater drainage from Area 02 is conveyed via stormwater drainage
structures and stormwater pipes to Outfall 02.
Area 03 consists of part of Area C of the site plan. Stormwater exposure
consists of the storage tanks. Stormwater drainage from Area 02 is
conveyed via stormwater drainage structures and stormwater pipes to
Outfall 03.
RRM NC, INC. 3-4 112017

3.1.4 Description of Spills or Leaks [Part II, Section A.l.d]
The facility has not had any spills within the last three years.
3.1.5 Non-Storinwater Discharge Certification [Part II, Section A.1.e.]
There are not any non-stormwater discharges at the facility. A non-
stormwater certification form is presented in Appendix E. It is required to
be signed on an annual basis.
3.2 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN [PART II, SECTION A.2.1
This plan has been developed to minimize the possibility of an unplanned
sudden or non -sudden release of oil or other substance into the surface
water that could threaten human health, and/or the environment. The
plan includes a prediction of the direction, rate of flow, and total quantity
of material released which could result from an equipment failure, tank
overflow, rupture, leak or spill, fire or explosion.
Spills inside the buildings would generally be contained within the
buildings. Spills outside of the buildings are address below. Spill kits
have been placed in these areas to enable facility personnel to contain the
spill before it leaves the facility property.
A spill outside of a secondary containment area for the tanks during
loading/ unloading phase would be addressed immediately. All release
material would be collected by a vacuum type recovery truck, pumps
and/or absorbent material.
3.2.1 Feasbility Study [Part II, Section A.2.a]
Due to the size, the nature of the operations, and the manufacturing
processes at the BCI facility, it is technically infeasible and cost prohibitive
to eliminate stormwater exposure to process materials.
3.2.2 Secondary Containment Schedule [Part II, Section A.2.b]
All liquid storage tanks at the facility have secondary containment.
Accumulated rainwater that is drained from the tank farm containment
directly to the stormwater system is only done under the following
conditions:
• The bypass valve is normally locked closed
ERM NC, INC. 3-5 112017

• The rainwater complies with applicable water quality standards
and will not cause a harmful discharge
• The bypass valve is opened and resealed following drainage under
responsible supervision.
3.2.3 BMP Sumnianj [Part II, Section A.2.e]
It is recommended that the facility maintain a closed dumpster to dispose
of trash.
3.3 SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLAN [PART II, SECTION A.31
BCI has strategically located spill response materials throughout the
facility. Areas where potential spills which can contribute pollutants to
stormwater discharges can occur and the associated drainage points are
identified on Figure 2.
Spill response training is provided to applicable employees on an annual
basis. In the event of a spill, BCI employees are to respond only to
incidental releases where the substance can be absorbed, neutralized, or
otherwise controlled at the time of release by employees in the immediate
release area or by maintenance personnel. An occurrence which results,
or is likely to result, in an uncontrolled release of a hazardous substance
requiring a response effort by employees from outside the immediate
release area or by other designated responders (i.e., mutual -aid groups,
fire departments, etc.) is considered an "emergency response." BCI
employees are not to perform emergency responses, and such responses
are only to be performed by personnel trained in accordance with 29 CFR
1910.120.
3.3.1 Pollution Prevention Team [Part 11, Section A.3]
The responsibilities of the Pollution Prevention Team include keeping all

4.0 ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS [PART II, SECTION B.]
4.1 ANALYTICAL SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS (PART II, SECTION B.]
Storm water sampling is to be performed on a semi-annual basis during a
representative storm event at each storm water discharge outfall. A
representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1
inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no
storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred. A single
storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no precipitation.
For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable
discharge, and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a
discharge begins again within the next 10 hours. Sampling must be
performed during Period 1 (January 1st - June 30th) and Period 2 (July 1st —
December 31st) during all five years of the permit. A minimum of 60 days
must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates. If no discharge occurs
during the sampling period, the facility must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling
period. All sampling results are to be recorded on the Discharge
Monitoring Report Form (DMR) provided in Appendix D.
The samples are to be collected and analyzed as follows:

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://h2o.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 associated with industrial activity. Such
discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit.
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater 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.
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 discharge and/or disposal of vehicle wash water or vehicle rinse water is not permitted by
Part I Page I of 2 Pages

Permit No. NCG 160000
this General Permit. Wash water and rinse water must be directed to a sanitary sewer system or
permitted by a separate wastewater permit issued by the Division. The discharge and/or disposal
of any petroleum, diesel oil or oil/water compounds applied to any surface of the vehicles is not
permitted by this General Permit. 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 I Page 2 of 2 Pages

Permit No. NCG 160000
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 and the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. 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 narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices.
(c) 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.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill
impacts.
(e) 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.
2. 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
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
Part 11 Page I of 7 Pages

Permit No. NCG 160000
(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 are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be
secured with a locking mechanism] and any stormwater that accumulates in the
containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall
staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, 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.
Spills of lubricants or release agents shall be contained on site, without being allowed to
move off the site by either surface or ground waters.
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 11 Page 2 of 7 Pages

Permit No. NCG 160000
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
5. Gmployee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided 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 that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. 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.
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.
The Director 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 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 that the changes
have been made.
Facility Inspection Program. Facilities are required to inspect all stormwater systems on
at least a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (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 a narrative description of the facility's stormwater control
systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these inspections shall be incorporated
into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part 11 of this permit shall
be performed in addition to facility inspections.
Implementation. 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
industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall
be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or his
authorized representative immediately upon request.

Permit No. NCG 160000
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the Permittee
is authorized to discharge stormwater subject to the provisions of this permit. Analytical monitoring of
stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified below in Table I.
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 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 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.
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.

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 3. Qualitative
monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests are required.
Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls does not need to be performed during a representative
storm event.
The first qualitative monitoring event during the coverage of the permit must coincide with the initial
analvtical monitoring even[ (regardless of the season). All other qualitative monitoring will be
performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and once in the fall (September - November).

SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
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 4. This monitoring shall be performed at all outfalls which
discharge stormwater runoff from the vehicle maintenance areas.
Part 11 Page 5 of 7 Pages

Permit No. NCG 160000
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 5. 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 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.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges
stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, 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.

20. Representative Storm Event
A storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at least 72
hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm
event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2
hours without producing any collectable discharge, and then stops, a sample may be collected if a
rain producing a discharge begins again within the next 10 hours.
21. Representative Outfall Status
When it is established that the discharge of stormwater runoff from a single outfall is
representative of the discharges at multiple outfalls, the D WQ may grant representative
outfall status. Representative outfall status allows the permittee to perform analytical
monitoring at a reduced number of outfalls.
22. Rinse Water Discham
The discharge of rinse water from equipment cleaning areas associated with industrial
activity. Rinse waters from vehicle and equipment cleaning areas are process
wastewaters and do not include washwaters utilizing any type of detergent or cleaning
agent.
23. Secondary Containment
Spill containment for the contents of the single largest tank within the containment
structure plus sufficient freeboard to allow for the 25-year, 24-hour storm event.
24. Section 313 Water Prioritv Chemical
A chemical or chemical category which:
a. Is listed in 40 CFR 372.65 pursuant to Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986, also titled the Emergency
Planning and Community Right -to -Know Act of 1986;
b. Is present at or above threshold levels at a facility subject to SARA title III,
Section 313 reporting requirements; and
C. That meet at least one of the following criteria:
(1) Is listed. in appendix D of 40 CFR part 122 on either Table II (organic
priority pollutants), Table Ill (certain metals, cyanides, and phenols) or
Table IV (certain toxic pollutants and hazardous substances);
(2) Is listed as a hazardous substance pursuant to section 31 1(b)(2)(A) of the
CWA at 40 CFR 116.4; or
Part VI Page 4 of 6 Pages

Permit No. NCG 160000
(3) Is a pollutant for which EPA has published acute or chronic water quality
criteria.
25. Severe Property Damau
Means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the control facilities which
causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources
which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property
damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production.
26. Significant Materials
Includes, but is not limited to: raw materials; fuels; materials such as solvents, detergents,
and plastic pellets; finished materials such as metallic products; raw materials used in
food processing or production; hazardous substances designated under section 101(14) of
CERCLA; any chemical the facility is required to report pursuant to section 313 of Title
III of SARA; fertilizers; pesticides; and waste products such as ashes, slag and sludge that
have the potential to be released with stormwater discharges.
27. Significant Spills
Includes, but is not limited to: releases of oil or hazardous substances in excess of
reportable quantities under section 311 of the Clean Water Act (Ref: 40 CFR 110.10 and
CFR 1 17.21) or section 102 of CERCLA (Ref: 40 CFR 302.4).
28. Stormwater Runoff
The flow of water which results from precipitation and which occurs immediately
following rainfall or as a result of snowmelt.
29. Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activity
The discharge from any point source which is used for collecting and conveying
stormwater and which is directly related to manufacturing, processing or raw material
storage areas at an industrial site. Facilities considered to be engaged in "industrial
activities" include those activities defined in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14). The term does not
include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program.
30. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
A comprehensive site -specific plan which details measures and practices to reduce
stormwater pollution and is based on an evaluation of the pollution potential of the site.
31. Ten Year Design Storm
The maximum 24 hour precipitation event expected to be equaled or exceeded on the
average once in ten years. Design storm information can be found in the State of North
Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual.

Total Flow
The flow corresponding to the time period over which the entire storm event occurs.
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.
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
TMDLs are written plans for attaining and maintaining water quality standards, in all
seasons, for a specific waterbody and pollutant. (A list of approved TMDLs for the state
of North Carolina can be found at
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/tmd[/Gencral—TMDLs.htm)
Toxic Pollutant
Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.
Upset
Means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment
or control facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of preventive
maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
Vehicle Maintenance Activitv
Vehicle rehabilitation, mechanical repairs, painting, fueling, lubrication, vehicle cleaning
operations, or airport deicing operations.
Visible Sedimentation
Solid particulate matter, both mineral and organic, that has been or is being transported
