This facility is operating under North Carolina General Permit No. NCG080000 to Discharge Stormwater under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NPDES permit is included in Appendix A. In order to comply with the permit, the facility must conduct quantitative analytical stormwater monitoring twice per year during a representative storm event. Two stormwater discharge outfalls (Outfall 1 and Outfall 2) are located west of the facility and discharge into the French Broad River. The northern outfall (outfall 1) discharges water collected at an inlet which flows through an oil water separator (OWS). The southern outfall (outfall 2) discharges water collected at three inlets. The stormwater outfalls consist of piping which discharges out of the eastern bank of the French Broad River. The French Broad River is a Class B surface water. The locations of stormwater outfalls Outfall 1 and Outfall 2 are shown on Figure 2. Former Outfall 3 no longer receives stormwater discharge from the former AST containment area because the connection pipe was cut and capped in February 2018. Therefore, samples are no longer collected from this discharge location. Both outfalls are to be sampled during a quantitative monitoring event and the stromwater samples are to be analyzed to fully comply with Part II, Section B of the permit. In addition, qualitative stormwater monitoring is to be conducted at the facility to comply with Part II, Section D of the permit and to be performed in conjunction with the quantitative monitoring event. Prior to conducting monitoring activities, Mr. James Bevers with ECS was in contact with Mr. Kevin Kusmirek with Southeast Bulk, LLC regarding conducting the monitoring activities. Project information is based on conversations between ECS and Mr. Kusmirek and the previously cited NPDES Permit. 20 FIELD ACTIVITIES Qualitative and Quantitative Monitoring On June 5, 2019, personnel from ECS conducted the stormwater sampling activities at the site (Figure 2). The stormwater sample from the northern outfall was collected from the downstream (third) compartment of the OWS. The stormwater sample from the southern outfall was collected from the discharge location in the eastern bank of the French Broad River. The stormwater samples were collected directly into laboratory prepared sample containers. The sample containers were labeled with ECS project number, sample identification, sample date and time, and requested analytical analysis. The containers were placed into protective packaging material and placed into a cooler with ice to maintain the samples at approximately 4° Celsius (CO). The samples were submitted to Pace Analytical Services, Inc. (Pace) located in Asheville, North Carolina (North Carolina Certification No. 5342) for chemical analysis for oil and grease using EPA Method 1664, pH using 4500H+ and total suspended solids (TSS) using Standard Method 2540D. ECS maintained proper chain - of -custody (COC) procedures throughout the sample collection and transportation process. A copy of the COC is included in Appendix B. Stormwater Compliance Report Southeast Bulk Facility #9406 288 Lyman Street Asheville, North Carolina ECS Project No. 49-6792-A July 17, 2019 Additional stormwater was collected from the outfalls into sterile unpreserved laboratory prepared containers for the purpose of collecting in -field readings for pH using a certified and calibrated pH meter. The pH meter certification is included in Appendix C. 3.0 TOTAL RAINFALL The permit requires that total rainfall be recorded. Daily weather history is provided by the Weather Underground website (https://www.wunderground.com) at the Personal Weather Station (PWS) called East West Asheville KNCASHEV79. This PWS is located approximately 4,500 feet southwest of the site. The daily summary weather report recorded a total of 0.13 inches of rainfall on June 5, 2019. The on -site rain gauge was not able to be located at the time of the sampling event to obtain an on -site total rainfall measurement. However, the level of visible rainfall and the outfall flow volumes observed on -site during the sampling were consistent with published PWS data. The PWS daily summary weather report is included in Appendix D. 4.0 FINDINGS On June 5, 2019, ECS personnel collected qualitative water samples from stormwater Outfalls 1 and 2. The following results are based on the visual observations from the water samples. The Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) Qualitative Monitoring Report is Included in Appendix E. Color Outfall 1 The sample collected was light brown. Outfall 2 The sample collected was brown. Odor Outfall 1 The sample had a slight petroleum -like odor. Outfall 2 The sample did not have an odor. Clarity Outfall 1 Clearness of the sample was rated as a 2 on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being clear and 5 is very cloudy. Outfall 2 Clearness of the sample was rated as a 3 on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being clear and 5 is very cloudy. 2 Stormwater Compliance Report Southeast Bulk Facility #9406 288 Lyman Sireet Asheville, North Carolina ECS Project No. 49-6792-A July 17, 2019 Floating Solids Outfalls 1 & 2 The samples collected contained a slight amount of floating solids and were rated a 2 on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being no solids and 5 is the surface covered with floating solids. Suspended Solids Outfall 1 The sample collected contained a slight amount of suspended solids and was rated a 2 on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being no solids and 5 is extremely muddy. Outfall 2 The sample collected contained a medium amount of suspended solids and was rated a 3 on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being no solids and 5 is extremely muddy. Foam Outfalls 1 & 2 No foam was observed on the water at the outfalls. Oil Sheen Outfall 1 An oil -like sheen was observed on the surface of the water in the outfall. Outfall 2 No sheen observed. Obvious Indicators of Ston nnlater Pollution Outfalls 1 & 2 With the exception of field observations listed above, additional indicators or stormwater pollution were not observed. Erosion or Deposition at the Outfall Outfall 1 No erosion was observed. Outfall 2 Evidence of erosion was observed around the discharge piping into French Broad River at the outfal I location. Outfall Structure Property Functioning Outfall 1 The pump that discharges the water from the oil water separator to the French Broad River did not appear to have been activated by the float valve during the sampling event. Outfall 2 The discharge pipe that should be protruding into the French Broad River appeared to be broken during the sampling event. Stormwater Compliance Report Southeast Bulk Facility #9406 288 Lyman Street Asheville, North Carolina ECS Project No. 49-6792-A July 17, 2019 Quantitative Monitoring Laboratory analysis of stormwater sample collected from Outfall 1 detected TSS at a concentration of 11.6 mg/l, which is below the limit of 100 mg/I as defined in the permit, and a pH of 7.5, which is within the 6 to 9 range defined in the permit. Oil and grease was not detected at a concentration above laboratory detection limits. Laboratory analysis of stormwater sample collected from Outfall 2 detected TSS at a concentration of 65.8 mg/l, which is below the limit of 100 mg/I as defined in the permit, and a pH of 6.9, which is within the 6 to 9 range defined in the permit. Oil and grease was not detected at a concentration above laboratory detection limits. The laboratory report is provided in Appendix B, a Stormwater Discharge Outfall Qualitative Monitoring Report for the outfalls is provided in Appendix E, and a Semi -Annual Stormwater Discharge Monitoring Report and a Daily Monitoring Report for the sampling are provided in Appendix F. 5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the results, the concentrations of oil and grease were below laboratory reporting limits and concentrations of TSS were within the limits established in the permit for both outfalls. The recorded pH levels were within the range limit established in the permit for both outfalls. An on -site rain gauge was installed at the facility to provide more accurate data of the total rainfall at the site. ECS recommends using data from this rain gauge during future sampling events. Per the permit from the State of North Carolina, additional stormwater samples are required to be collected during a representative storm event between January 1, 2019 and June 30, 2019. ECS recommends that these results be submitted to the State of North Carolina to indicate sampling was conducted in accordance with the permit. ECS recommends that Southeast Bulk, LLC verify that the oil water separator is operating correctly to prevent an overflow and, therefore, and unintentional release. 60 QUALIFICATIONS OF REPORT The activities and evaluative approaches used in this assessment are consistent with those normally employed in stormwater assessments of this type.

REGAN Wa,,,,y Subject: NPDES General Permit Renewal and Electronic Reporting Requirements FCE#9406 NPDES Permit Certificate of Coverage (COC) Number: NCGO80797 Dear NPDES Permittee: TRACY DAVIS ov--_nor The General Permit this facility is covered under was re -issued on November 16, 2017 for a year (expiration October 31, 2018). Our records indicate that your annual fees are up to date; therefore, your coverage has been renewed. There were no changes to the General Permit, and semi-annual monitoring (if it applies to your site) should continue during the next year. We are attaching the General Permit cover page with revised effective and expiration dates. Please maintain your original COC along with this cover page for your records. You can find a copy of the entire General Permit on our website at https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/`npdes-industrial stormwater. Although your COC has been renewed successfully, the following item requires your action: You must submit outfall Information on-line for this site if you have not already. This action is necessary to prepare for electronic data monitoring report (eDMR) requirements. To submit outfall information to DEQ: Go to the following website and enter the discharge outfall number, type of discharge, receiving water information and other details. The website will walk you through all steps. The website is: Submitting Outfall Information for E-Reporting The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule in December 2015. The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to report certain information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports. The first phase of the rule required regulated entities to submit Data Monitoring Reports (DMRs) electronically starting on December 21, 2016, but our system is not yet ready for stormwater permittees. EPA is aware that NC is working on expanding the State's eDMR System to include Stormwater Program DMR reporting. 'Notbincl Cor,;pares , SState of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Energy. Mineral and land Resources 512 N. Salisbury Street 11612 Mail Service Center I Raleigh. North Carolina27699-1612 g197079200 Currently eDMR is only available to NPDES wastewater permit holders. As soon as eDMR is available for your permit, we will notify you (please do not try to register your storm water permit for eDMR yet). In the meantime, we must collect information about the discharge outfalls at your facility to prepare the system to flow data to EPA as per the federal rule. Thank you for assisting us with this process by submitting your stormwater outfall point locations. TIPS FOR ENTERING OUTFALLS Do NOT submit outfalls that are not covered by your NPDES Stormwater Permit (for example, outfalls from employee parking lots that have NO industrial activity). DO submit outfalls that discharge stormwater with industrial activity, even if they require visual monitoring only (no analytical sampling). While electronic reporting does not apply to visual monitoring, we do need outfall information. Noting "visual only" in the outfall Description field is helpful. For questions or assistance with submitting your outfalls on-line, please contact Bethany Georgoulias at (919) 807-6372 or via email at bethany.georgouliasf@ncdenr.gov or Robert Patterson at (919) 807-6369 or via email at robert.patterson(@ncdenr eov.

Other Information PART IV DEFINITIONS Permit No.NCGO80000 PART 1 INTRODUCTION SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE All persons desiring to have facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the Division of Water Quality by the fling of a Notice of Intent (N01) and applicable fees. The NOI shall be submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater associated with industrial activity 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. If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (N01) form to the Division; must receive approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually. Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant -loading limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to a specific impaired water. For discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate applicable water quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If DWQ determines that discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard violations, the facility shall apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of this General Permit. Once that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have coverage under this General Permit. Note that the p'ermittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development) and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site Plan, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, Part 11, Section A. 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. Part I Page 1 of 2 Permit No.NCG080000 SECTIONB: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES Until coverage under 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. 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 stormwater discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards. This permit does not relieve the permittee's responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, or decree. Part 1 Page 2 of 2 Permit No. NCG080000 PART 11 MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED DISCHARGES SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN The permittee shall develop and implement a Stonnwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview 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 waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, 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 points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameters of concern are. 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. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. c. A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow. d. A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) 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 permittee shall re -certify annually 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 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph S. Part ll Page 1 of 10 Permit No.NCG080000 2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, 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 rainfall and run-on flows. 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, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of potential contamination. b. Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism). 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 any material. 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 (S) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan, any portion of the SPCC plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. c. BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to Stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. d. Locomotive Sanding Areas (applicable to Rail Transportation only). The plan must describe measures that prevent or minimize contamination of the Stormwater runoff from areas used for locomotive sanding. The facility shall consider covering sanding areas, minimizing stormwater runon/runoff, appropriate sediment removal practices to minimize the offsite transport of sanding material by Stormwater, or other equivalent measures. e. Vehicle and Equipment Cleaning Areas. The plan must describe measures that prevent or minimize contamination of the stormwater runoff from all areas used for vehicle and equipment cleaning. The facility shall consider performing all cleaning operations indoors, covering the cleaning operation, ensuring that all wash waters drain to the sanitary sewer Part 11 Page 2 of 10 Permit No. NCG080000 system (i.e., not the stormwater drainage system, unless permitted by another NPDES general or individual permit), collecting the stormwater runoff from the cleaning area and providing treatment or recycling, or other equivalent measures. If sanitary sewer is not available to the facility and cleaning operations take place outdoors, the cleaning operations shall take place on grassed or graveled areas to prevent point source discharges of the wash water into the storm drains or surface waters. Where cleaning operations cannot be performed as described above and when operations are performed in the vicinity of a storm drainage collection system, the drain shall be covered with a portable drain cover during cleaning activities. Any excess ponded water shall be removed and properly handled by pump to a sanitary sewer system prior to removing the drain cover. Detergents used outdoors shall be biodegradable and the pH adjusted to be in the range of 6 to 9 standard units. The point source discharge of vehicle and equipment wash waters, including tank cleaning operations, are not authorized by this permit and must be covered under a separate NPDF.S general or individual permit or discharged to a sanitary sewer in accordance with applicable industrial wastewater pretreatment requirements. f. Remote Fueling Operations. If remote fueling (or other vehicle maintenance activities) are conducted at off site locations but coordinated from the permitted facility, the plan shall include a component that describes the stormwater management practices and BMPs used to prevent and/or minimize the contamination of stormwater from such activities. 3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. 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, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) 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 and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP. 5. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility personnel responsible for Part 11 Page 3 of 10 Permit No. NCG080000 implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 6. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include: (a) an updated list ofsignificontspills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview); (b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy). (d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website (See 'Monitoring Forms' here: http://portal.nc(lenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/nl)clessw). The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP 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 SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes have been made. 8. Facility Inspection Program. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June) and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60-days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently). 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. These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring required in Part 11 of this permit. 9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs to prevent contaminants from entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions 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 (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. Part 11 Page 4 of 10 Permit No. NCGO80000 SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS - VEHICLE MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1, for those facilities conducting vehicle maintenance activities and utilizing more than 55 gallons new motor oil per month when averaged over the year (those vehicle maintenance activities not utilizing more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month are not required to conduct analytical monitoring).

A copy of the DWQ letter granting ROS must be kept on site. DWQ's ROS letter remains in effect through the subsequent reissuance of this permit and as long as the pertinent site conditions and operations remain unchanged, unless the ROS letter provides for other conditions or duration. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge or local rain gauge reading must be recorded. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measurable storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DWQ Regional Office. See Definitions. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted as part of other requirements of this permit. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part III, Section E). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours.

If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period. Failure to monitor semi- annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall or inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. The benchmark values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that DWQ releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring under Tier Three, DWQ's release letter remains in effect through the subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

Readings from an on -site or local rain gauge (or local precipitation data) must be documented to demonstrate background concentrations were below the benchmark pH range of 6-9. Part ll Page 6 of 10 Permit No. NCGO80000 If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at anv outfall: Then: The permittee shall: 1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance. 3. Identify potential and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations within the benchmark range. 4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection. S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented. Tier Two If: During the term of this permit, the first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring, shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements. 4. Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response. S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP. Tier Three If: During the term of this permit, if the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. DWQ may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease monitoring frequency for some or all parameters; • rescind coverage under the General Permit, and require that the permittee apply for an individual stormwater discharge permit; • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion. Part 11 Page 7 of 10 Permit No. NCGO80000 SECTION C: DISCHARGE LIMITATIONS AND ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS - OIL WATER SEPARATORS AND/OR PETROLEUM BULK STATIONS AND TERMINALS During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, unless otherwise prohibited, the pennittee is authorized to discharge stormwater from oil water separators and/or petroleum bulk stations and terminals secondary containment areas subject to the provisions of this permit. If such activities have been designated by the Division, discharges shall be monitored and limited as specified in Table 4, and sampled in accordance with the schedule presented in Table 2. Clarification: The limitations in Table 4 only apply to oil water separators, secondary containment structures at petroleum bulk stations and terminals with a total petroleum storage capacity of less than 1 million gallons, or other stormwater discharges that have been specifically designated by the Division as subject to these discharge requirements in the permit. This means that, unless specified differently by the Division, discharges from oil/water separators or from secondary containment areas that are associated with vehicle maintenance activities at facilities categorically captured by the federal NPDES Stormwater Program are otherwise subject to Part II., Section B. (Stormwater Analytical Monitoring Requirements) of this general permit. Table 4.

DWQ's ROS letter remains in effect through the subsequent reissuance of this permit and as long as the pertinent site conditions and operations remain unchanged, unless the ROS letter provides for other conditions or duration. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge or local rain gauge reading must be recorded. Part II Page 8 of l0 INUMBrakirdul 0111 IIiiN Section D: Stormwater Discharges: Qualitative Monitoring Requirements The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assess new sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event. Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified in Table 5, during the analytical monitoring event. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions). Qualitative monitoring is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours.

See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting cycle. The permittee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal process. Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) regardless of representative outfall status. A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit. If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part II Page 9 of 10 Permit No. NCGO80000 Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, assessing new sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, DWQ may but is not limited to: • require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease monitoring frequency for some or all parameters (analytical or qualitative); • require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls; • require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures; • require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.
