Dear Mr. Warrick:
On 05/09/2013, the Division of Water Quality received your request to rescind your coverage under
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG100193. In accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage
NumberNCG100193 is rescinded effective immediately.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 Boyd DeVane at 919 807-6373, or the Water
Quality staff in our Fayetteville Regional Office at 910-433-3300.
Sincerely, n

Howdy Mike,
I hope that all is well with you.
When you get the chance would you please review this NOI yourself or pass it on to the appropriate
person for approval? In addition to the table below. I've also -attached a scanned copy of the NOI for
review. `I also noticed that the applicant attached a February 26, 2007 letter from you requesting this
application in response to a Fbruary 23, 2007 site visit you made.
If I could hear back from you, or one of your FRO coworkers about the applicability of the permit for
this site by Friday, May 4, 2007 I would much appreciate it. If I don't hear back from someone
regarding it by that date I'll issue it with your assumed approval.

Dear Mr. Powell:
This letter serves as a follow-up to the site visit conducted on Friday, February 23, 2007 by Chad
Turlington, Hughie White and myself from the Division of Water Quality's Fayetteville Regional
Office. The time and assistance provided by you and your staff is greatly appreciated. As we discussed
during the site visit, auto salvage yards that have stormwater discharges such as ditches, pipes, channels,
etc. are required to apply for and obtain coverage under the NCG100000 General Stormwater Permit.
We identified two ditches that would convey stormwater off the property and into Little Coharrie Creek.
Based on this information, 1 left with you a Notice of Intent application form to be completed and
submitted to our Central Office in Raleigh in order to obtain permit coverage. Our office requests that
you submit the Notice of Intent form within 30 days from receipt of this letter. Please be advised
that operating your facility without the proper permit coverage could result in the issuance of a
Notice of Violation as well as the assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day, per
violation.
If you or your staff has any questions concerning the application form or the permit, once issued,
please contact Mr. Turlington or myself at 910-433-3300.

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
Certification must submit a No Exposure Certification NOI 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 reapply for the No Exposure Exclusion once
every five (5) years.
Facilities submitting NOls for coverage under this permit, and facilities submitting renewal
forms for continued coverage under this permit, prior to establishment or approval of a Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutant(s) for stormwater discharges (i.e. wet weather
flows), maybe 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. Impaired waters scheduled for TMDL development are on North Carolina's 303(d) List
and can be found here: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/tmdl/General_303d.htm#Downloads.
A list of approved TMDLs for the state of North Carolina can be found here:
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/tmdl/General—TNIDLs.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.

(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 which
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn to scale (including a distance legend) identifying and indicating
the location of: the site property boundary, the stormwater discharge points, 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, all drainage features and
structures, drainage areas for each outfall, industrial activities occurring in each
drainage area, buildings, existing BMPs, and impervious surfaces. The site map
must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility

(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 111, 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:
(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 Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title Ill 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 directly 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), 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. s.
(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 the potential of pollutant 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
Part II Page 2 of 8 Pages
Permit No. NCG 100000
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, an oil 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.
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
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
Employee 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.
T 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 annual update
shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous
three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include
re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges.
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.
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
Part 11 Page 3 of 8 Pages
Permit No. NCG100000
facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge
characteristic monitoring required in Part 11 of this permit.
Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Plan. The permittee shall document
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 years and made available to
the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request.

pond shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge from the pond.
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 must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge or
local rain gauge reading must be recorded.
5 For purposes of this permit the list of Total Toxic Organics is that list as stated in Appendix D, Table 11 of Chapter 40
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 122.
Facilities that implement a Solvent Management Plan may so certify, and the requirement for TTO monitoring may be
waived. The Solvent Management Plan shall be incorporated as a separate chapter into the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The Solvent Management Plan shall include an annually updated and quantified inventory of the
total toxic organic compounds present on site during the previous three years; a narrative description of the in -plant
locations and uses of the toxic organic compounds, the method of disposal including quantities disposed on -site and
off -site; and the management procedures and engineering measures for assuring that toxic organics do not spill or leak
into stormwater.
DWQ may at its discretion require submittal, review, and approval of the Solvent Management Plan as a condition of
continuing the TTO sampling waiver.
Part II Page 4 of 8 Pages
Permit No. NCG100000
For those facilities electing to employ the TTO sampling waiver, the discharger shall include the following signed
certification statement on each discharge monitoring report: "Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons directly
responsible for managing compliance with the permit monitoring requirement for total toxic organics (TTO), I certify
that to the best of my knowledge and belief, no leak, spill, or dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the
stormwater or onto areas which are exposed to rainfall or stormwater runoff has occurred since filing the last
discharge monitoring report. I further certify that this facility is implementing all the provisions of the Solvent
Management Plan included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan."
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfalI (SDO).
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.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified
in Table 2. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates unless
monthly monitoring has been instituted under a Tier Two response.
