John Skvarla
Secretary
Staff of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Surface Water Protection Section, Raleigh
Regional Office, conducted a stormwater compliance evaluation inspection of Durham Scap Metal,
1035 Harvest Street, Durham, on June 5, 2013. Your assistance was very helpful and appreciated
during the inspection process.
The following observations were made during the stormwater inspection:
1. Durham Scrap Metal is a facility that engages in receiving, sorting, breaking and wholesale
trade of scrap metal. This facility operates on a 6.1 acre site.
2. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) for this facility contained all
components required by NCG200000 with the exception of Part 11, Section A, item 7 Plan
Admendment in reference to plan review, update and significant spills occurring during the
past three years.
The facility has two outfalls. Outfall No. I receives stormwater Plow from the north, office
building, scales and Harvest street side of the warehouse of the facility site. Outfall No. 2
receives stormwater flow from the north and warehouse side of the facility. Stormwater
from the other areas of the site flow as sheet flow into the wooded areas on the southwest
and northwest side of the site. Both outfalls were accessible for sampling at the time of the
inspection.

The following information is included with your permit package:
A new Certificate of Coverage
A copy of General Stormwater Permit NCG200000
Your coverage under this general permit is not transferable except after notice to DWQ. The Division may require

Durham Scrap Metal
Spill Containment for Used Batteries
This facility stores and accumulates used batteries at two locations:
1) Battery Area #1 is located at the central receiving shed and scales; this is a temporary storage
location. Used batteries are off-loaded by sellers onto a wooden pallet. This pallet is
typically sited under a shed roof and protected from rainfall. When one or two pallets are full
(approximately 48 batteries), the batteries are shrink-wrapped onto the wooden pallet and
moved over to the long-term battery storage area (Battery Area #2).
In order to minimize the risk of leaks and drips from batteries, a spill containment pallet (see
Figure C-1) will be provided to receive and hold the used batteries from sellers. The wooden
pallet can be placed on top of the spill containment pallet. As before, the full wooden pallet
will then be moved to the long-term battery storage area.
2) Battery Area #2 is located near the southwest corner of the warehouse (Building 1) in an
exposed location. Batteries are stored here until a sufficient load is accumulated and
transported to an off -site used battery reclamation company.
In order to minimize the risk of leaks and drips from batteries, there are two options for this
storage location: (a) construct a shallow pit; line with gravel and plastic; and construct a shed
roof. Place the full pallets in the pit and under the shed roof; or (b) provide spill containment
pallets as shown in Figure C-1 and cover with waterproof tarps.
Sources for spill containment pallets include:
• Interstate Products, Inc. at 1-800-474-7294
• New Pig Corporation, Inc., at 1-800-468-4647
• Lab Safety Supply, Inc., at 1-800-356-0783
Target Date for implementing this BMP is July 30,
2003.

Mr. Wiggins:
In regards to your site visit of June 5 2013 and letter dated June 17 2013 we offer the following:
1. Mr. Jimmie Lamm, the owner, contacted us on June 17.
2. We visited his site on June 20, and he authorized us to proceed with updating his SWPPP and conducting the
outfall monitoring.
3. On June 20, we were not made aware of your June 17 letter and remained unaware until August 7.
4. Between July 1 and July 31, we updated the SWPPP and maps.
5. On August 13, we met with Mr. Lamm to discuss his SWPPP review comments and finalize the SWPPP map.
During this site visit, we were provided with your June 17 letter.
6. On August 14, we completed the SWPPP which now addresses your concerns noted in your June 17 letter. The
final SWPPP will be mailed to Mr. Lamm on August 15.
7. As of August 14, we have not been able to collect or monitor the stormwater discharges at the subject facility.
is our intent to monitor the outfalls asap and again after 60 days from the first sample collection event.
