In accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage NumberNCG100193 is rescinded effective immediately.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.

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.

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. 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. Part I Page 1 of 2 Pages Permit No. NCG100000 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 stormwater 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 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 from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. Part 1 Page 2 of 2 Pages Permit No. NCG 100000 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 waters) 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. The map should identify whether each receiving water is impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameter(s) of concern are. North Carolina's 303(d) List can be found here: http://b2o.enr.state.nc.us/tmdl/General-303d.httn#Downtoads North Carolina TMDL documents can be found here: http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/tmdt/TMDL_list.htm#Final_TMDLs (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 during the three (3) previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. Part 11 Page I of 8 Pages Permit No. NCG 100000 (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. SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. Table 1. Analytical Monitorin¢ Requirements Discharge Characteristics Units Measurement Fre uenc 1 Sample T e2 Sample Location3 H standard semi-annual Grab SDO Oil and Grease m /I semi-annual Grab SDO Lead, Total Recoverable mg/1 semi-annual Grab SDO Total Suspended Solids mg/1 semi-annual Grab SDO Ethylene Glycol mg/1 semi-annual Grab SDO Total Toxic Or anics5 m /I semi-annual Grab SDO Total Rainfa114 inches semi-annual Rain gauge Footnotes: I Measurement Frequency: Twice per year during a representative storm event. 2 If the stormwater runoff is controlled by a storntwater detention pond, a grab sample of the discharge from the 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. Table 2.

If at the expiration of the general permit, the permittee has submitted an application for renewal of coverage before the submittal deadline, the permittee will be considered for renewed coverage. The applicant must continue semi-annual monitoring until the renewed Certificate of Coverage is issued. 2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Part 11 Page 5 of 8 Pages Permit No. NCG 100000 Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 3. Exceedences 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 and Tier Two. Table 3. Benchmark Values for Analvtical Monitoring Requirements Discharge Characteristics BenchmarkValue H Within the range 6.0 - 9.0 Oil and Grease 30 mg/1 Lead, Total Recoverable 0.03 m /I Total Suspended Solids 100 m /l Ethylene Glycol 14 m I Total Toxic Or anicsl 1 m /I Footnotes: I For those covered facilities that elect to monitor for TTO rather than implement a Solvent Management Plan. TTO includes multiple organic compounds with varying environmental impact; the Division may evaluate the site specific constituents from the TTO analyses and work with the facility to determine a more appropriate chemical - specific value that could differ from this benchmark. DWQ may require the permittee to provide controls for materials that DWQ concludes are present in significant, or potentially significant, amounts. Tier If: The sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any Darameter 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 exceedence. 3. Identify potential, and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, or to bring concentrations to within the benchmark range. 4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection. 5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. 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 Part 11 Page 6 of 8 Pages Permit No. NCG 100000 If: During the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a Then: The permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters 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 the 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. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. During the term of this permit, if the sampling results exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on more than four occasions, DWQ may: • Require that the permittee increase or decrease the monitoring frequency for the remainder of the permit; • 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 install other stormwater control measures; or • require that the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for the No Exposure Exclusion. Part 11 Page 7 of 8 Pages Permit No. NCG100000 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 in Table 4, during the analytical monitoring event.
