Subject: Response to NOV-2009-DV-0282
Dear Mr. Krebs
ma<D
I wanted to follow up with you on our initial response to the above noted NOV. First
and foremost we want to assure the NCDENR that Union County intends to fully comply
with any and all requirements regarding storm water management at our C&D landfill site.
However, as noted in Mr. Tye's initial response, we would appreciate your review of
this NOV prior to us taking any corrective actions. We have reviewed the cited regulations
and question the applicability to our landfill operations. In particular we fail to see the
connection of the cited regulations to our limited Construction and Demolition Debris
Landfill operations. We also believe there may have been some misunderstanding of the
handling of Municipal Solid Wastes at the on —site Transfer Station in relation to our site
maintenance (wash down) activities that routinely take place.
We look forward to your review of this matter and working with you on a speedy
resolution.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely;
Edward Goscicki

Subject: Response to NCDENR's Review of Notice of Violation
Dear Mr. Krebs:
The County appreciates your review of the notice of violation and your clarification as to
why the Union County Solid Waste Management Facility is subject to the General
Stormwater Permit NCG120000 requirements. The County makes every effort to comply
with all Federal and State requirements.
The Union County Solid Waste Management Facility was in operation as a municipal solid
waste landfill. The Municipal Solid Waste Landfill was closed in 1997 and modified to a
Construction and Demolition Debris Landfill. It has been operating as such since April
1998 (Permit 90-01). This permit included provisions for sediment and erosion control.
Since the implementation of this permit, our operations have been inspected numerous
times by NCDENR. At no time were we ever informed about the need for a separate
NPDES Stormwater Permit. While these regulations for a separate NPDES Stormwater
Permit may be obvious to you, we found them rather ambiguous which made it difficult to
foresee all the separate permits applicable to this site. Nonetheless, we value your role in
protecting water quality and strive to do the same. Please accept the completed Notice of
Intent application form and fee with supporting documentation as our intent to comply
with your regulations.
The discharge of washdown water from the pavement area around the Transfer Facility
was immediately discontinued upon receipt of the October 6, 2009, Notice of Violation and
will no longer be allowed as part of our procedures.
From our conversations with Division of Solid Waste and Division of Water Quality staff,
we understand that additional coordination efforts may be underway within NCDENR to
assure that local governments receive consistent and complete information to comply with
all of NCDENR's environmental regulations. We also understand that NCDENR has
updated its website to remove some of the information cited in our previous letters that
led to our misunderstanding of these stormwater permitting requirements. We appreciate

Subject: Response to NOV-2009-DV-0282
Union County Construction & Demolition Landfill
Dear Mr. Krebs:
OCT 21 2009
Union County Public Works (UCPW) is in receipt of the referenced Notice of Violation
(NOV) dated October 6, 2009. The NOV alleges UCPW is operating a landfill without
required General Storm Water Permit NCG120000 and that contaminated wash down
water has been illegally discharged. UCPW believes the NOV has been issued in error.
The intent of this letter is to respond to the NOV by demonstrating compliance with
applicable storm water regulations. Please find each allegation addressed below:
Allegation I. "Operating a facility without a storm water permit"
The NOV alleges UCPW is operating a landfill without required General Storm water
Permit NCG120000.
There are 11 categories of industry that fall subject to storm water discharge associated
with industrial activity. The industrial SIC Code is a speck indicator for the requirement of
a storm water permit. The Union County C&D Landfill does not fall under any of the 11
categories. UCPW is not aware of a SIC Code designation for C&D landfills in general.
Please find a summary of each category below:

*The Union County C&D Landfill operates under Permit 90-01 issued by NCDENR,
Division of Waste Management. The facility is permitted to receive land clearing debris,
inert debris, asphalt, C&D debris (solid waste resulting solely from construction,
remodeling, repair or demolition operations on pavement, buildings or other structures),
and C&D like wastes (waste that are similar to wastes typically found in the land
clearing/inert debris and C&D waste streams such as roofing shingle waste from the
manufacturer, and waste building materials form modular/mobile home builders).
The NOV alleges that operation of Union County C&D Landfill falls under the umbrella of
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 4953. UCPW contends that the operations at
the Union County C&D do not fall under the 4953 SIC code. The 4953 SIC code is for a
Refuse System not for Construction and Demolition Debris disposal site. Municipal Solid
Waste, Industrial Waste, Liquid Waste, Hazardous Waste and Medical Wastes are among
the waste types that are NOT accepted at the Union County C&D Landfill.

UNION COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS
Allegation 2. "Second Violation"
The NOV alleges that contaminated wash down water has been illegally discharged.
Specifically the NOV states "The facility was washing down areas contaminated by solid
waste and trash/dumpster leachate into the storm water system". This statement is not
accurate. The area that was being washed down the day of the inspection consisted of
parking, turn -around and driveway areas. These areas are not used for the handling of
solid waste. Wash down water does not come into contact with waste in this area of the
operation. The "dumpsters" at the Union County Transfer Station are covered receptacles
for paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum cans, steel cans and select plastics. There is no
leachate associated with this area of the facility.
All municipal solid waste is handled in a weather proof structure — the Transfer Station. A
floor drainage system collects all leachate and conveys it to a 3000 gallon holding tank.
The tank is pumped on an as needed basis and the leachate is properly disposed of.
UCPW takes great pride in the operation and maintenance of the solid waste facilities and
strives to comply with all applicable rules and regulations. UCPW contends that the Union
County Construction and Demolition (C&D) Landfill is not subject to the NPDES Storm
water Program and that no illegal discharge has occurred at the facility as alleged in NOV-
2009-DV-0282. UCPW believes that the NOV has been issued in error and requests that
DWQ promptly rescind the same.
If additional information or discussion is required, please do not hesitate to contact me at

Who is subject to the NPDES Storm Water Program?
The term "Storm Water Discharges Associated with
Industrial Activity," defined in federal regulations 40
CFR 122.26(b)(14)(i)-(xi), determines which industrial
facilities are potentially subject to the NPDES
stormwater program. The definition uses either SIC
(Standard Industrial Classification) codes or narrative
descriptions to characterize the activities, and requires
a point source discharge. The definition's 11 categories
((i)-(xi)) are listed below. Please note categories iii,
viii, and xi have special conditions, or exceptions
(described) which may make a facility NOT subject to
the program, and therefore not required to apply, even
though the facility's activity matches an SIC code.
Category (i)
Facilities subject to storm water effluent
limitations guidelines, new source It
performance standards, or toxic
pollutant effluent standards under 40
CFR subchapter N (except facilities with toxic pollutant
effluent standards which are exempted under category
