SUBJECT: Response to Possible tntlow and Infiltration Issues at Washing Areas
Dear Ms. Rohrs:
This letter is in response to the subsequent meeting that was held on December 9, 2009 regarding possible
inflow and infiltration concerns, as well as combined sewer issues located at/or near vehicle/aircraft washing
areas.
It is the intent of the Division, where possible, to eliminate the commingling of wastewater and stormwater and
to eliminate possible inflow and infiltration sources into the sanitary sewer system, which could result in
sanitary sewer spills. It is our understanding that this is, indeed, occurring at the vehicle/aircraft washing areas
located on base. As discussed during our meeting concerning one particular location where this is occurring, it
is recommended that a separate stormwater line be "tee'd" off from the trimpad/trench drain fine and discharged
to the existing stormwater outfall. The two separate lines at the "tee" would both be valved where, when
aircraft washing is taking place, the valve to the stormwater outfall would be closed and the valve flowing to the
sanitary sewer would be opened allowing the wastewater from the aircraft washing to be discharged to the
sanitary sewer, as required. Once aircraft washing is completed, the valve to the sanitary sewer would be closed
and the valve to the stormwater outfall would be opened and left open for any storiwater flow until the next
aircraft washing took place, where once again the valving procedure would be performed to insure the
wastewater goes into the sanitary sewer.
Obviously, written procedures need to be in place and training of personnel for this procedure to be successful.
Also, to insure there is no commingling of wastewater and stormwater, the Division would recommend that no
vehicle/aircraft washing take place during a rain event.
The Division recommends that all similar locations, where cross -connections with stormwater and wastewater
may be occurring, be evaluated to determine if any similar solutions, such as the one stated above, can be
implemented to eliminate these possible violations.

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: FINAL LIMITATIONS AND CONTROLS FOR MILITARY BASE STORMWATER DISCHARGES
Pope Air Force Base will implement, manage, and oversee all provisions of its Stormwater Program to reduce pollutants
discharged from the storm sewer system. This includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
(I) Pope Air Force Base will develop and maintain a SPPP with the authority to implement all provisions of the
Stormwater Program. Pope Air Force Base will keep the Division advised of the status of the SPPP. If major
modifications are proposed to the SPPP, the Division will be notified of the reasons and justifications for these
changes. The Division may comment on these modifications as deemed necessary to assure appropriate
implementation of the SPPP. No provision of this permit shall be interpreted as or constitute a commitment that
Pope Air Force Base will obligate or pay funds in contravention of the Anti -Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. Sec.
1341.
(2) Pope Air Force Base's SPPP will be implemented and managed such that the discharge of pollutants from the
storm sewer system are controlled to the maximum extent practical. It is anticipated that in order to meet this
provision, implementation of the SPPP will occur with emphasis given to priority areas and to management
measures and programs that are most effective and efficient at varying stages of the plan's implementation.
(3) Pope Air Force Base will implement the SPPP to assure that, to the maximum extent practical, non-Stormwater
discharges, illicit connections, spills and illegal dumping into the storm drainage system are prohibited.
(4) Pope Air Force Base will implement provisions of the SPPP as appropriate to monitor and assess the
performance of the various management measures that are a part of the Stormwater Program. This will include,
but is not limited to, the provisions of Section B of this part and the applicable provisions of Pope Air Force
Base's SPPP.
(5) Pope Air Force Base will maintain adequate funding and staffing to implement and manage the provisions of the
SPPP.
(6) Pope Air Force Base will implement appropriate education and training programs to support the objectives of
this stormwater discharge permit and Pope Air Force Base's SPPP.
The Division will review reports submitted by Pope Air Force Base to assure that the SPPP has been developed and
implemented appropriately to address the components outlined. Such reports will be submitted in accordance with the
schedule outlined in Section C of this Part. The Division may require modifications to any part of Pope Air Force Base's
SPPP where deficiencies are found.
SECTION B: COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
Under the authority of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1, other lawful standards and regulations promulgated and
adopted by the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission, and in accordance with the approved SPPP, all
provisions contained and referenced in the SPPP are an enforceable part of this permit.
Pope Air Force Base will develop and implement its approved SPPP in accordance with the Clean Water Act, provisions
outlined by the Director, and the provisions of this Permit. The specific requirements of the Clean Water Act require that
Pope Air Force Base effectively prohibit non-stormwater discharges to Pope Air Force Base's storm sewer system and that
controls and management measures are implemented by Pope Air Force Base to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the
storm drainage system to the maximum extent practical. In addition to the components outlined in Section A of this part,
Pope Air Force Base's Stormwater Program will include, but is not limited to, the following components:
Part 11 Page I of 5
Permit No. NCS000342
(t) Pope Air Force Base will develop and maintain a SPPP with authority to implement all its provisions. Status of legal
authority development will be provided to the Division upon request, but at a minimum on an annual basis.
(2) Pope Air Force Base will continue to search for, identify and manage additional sources of stormwater discharge not
previously identified in the permit application process. This will include the location and characterization of major
outfalls from the stormwater system and of any activities or facilities discharging to the system that were not previously
located but are expected to contribute pollutants to the storm sewer system.
(3) Pope Air Force Base will implement management programs as specified in the SPPP to control the discharge of
pollutants from its storm drainage system associated with stormwater runoff from industrial, residential, commercial
and construction areas and pollutants from non-stormwater discharges. These programs will be implemented on a
priority basis as determined and outlined by Pope Air Force Base in the SPPP. The overall program implementation,
however, will be subject to, at a minimum, annual review by the Division to determine implementation status and
progression toward meeting the pollutant control intent of the Stormwater Program. Components of the specific SPPP
programs will include, but are not limited to:
(a) The implementation of education, training and outreach programs designed to reach all areas of Pope Air
Force Base's community and which explain the various impacts of stormwater runoff and how it can affect
surface water quality. These programs will address ways of removing potential pollutants by emphasizing
local involvement in recycling programs; proper disposal of hazardous materials and used motor oil; the
proper use of herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers; and noticing and reporting areas of potential pollution
problems.
(b) The implementation of programs to address the contribution of pollutants to the storm drainage system from
industrial areas including planning, monitoring, education and operation and maintenance activities.
(c) The implementation of programs to detect and remove sources of illicit connections to the storm drainage
system and to remove sources of non-stormwater discharge.
(d) The implementation of inspection and monitoring programs for stormwater structures, industrial activities
and other areas of the stormwater system .
(e) The implementation of programs to reduce pollutants from construction sites through site planning,
education, training, inspection, and enforcement mechanisms.
The approved SPPP along with all provisions and approved modifications of the SPPP are incorporated by
reference and are enforceable parts of this permit.
(4) Pope Air Force Base will implement monitoring efforts as outlined in the SPPP to prioritize areas of the plan and to
assess the effectiveness of plan components. These monitoring results will be used by Pope Air Force Base to modify
the plan components as necessary to accomplish the intent of the SPPP. Results of the monitoring programs will be
submitted to the Division according to the provisions of Section C of this Part.
(5) Monitoring programs in the context of this permit are not limited only to conventional monitoring in the form of
sampling and analysis activities. Assessment of program implementation, use of programs established by the SPPP,
etc. are also a part of this process.
(6) Analytical monitoring activities are required as part of the monitoring process in accordance with the provisions
outlined in the SPPP. The parameters to be monitored are those that have the potential to be present at the various
outfalls based on the information provided regarding the industrial activities occurring in those areas. Descriptions of
the locations of each of the sample points to be monitored, the activities which they drain, and the water bodies to
which they drain are described in the SPPP.

PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: INDIVIDUAL PERMIT COVERAGE
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the United States Air
Force is authorized to discharge stormwater from the storm drainage system to waters of the state. Such discharge
will be controlled, limited and monitored in accordance with Pope Air Force Base's Comprehensive Stormwater
Management Program, herein referred to as the "Stormwater Program". The Stormwater Program includes
applicable components of Pope Air Force Base's NPDES stormwater permit application, and their Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan, herein referred to as the "SPPP', and any approved modifications to the SPPP.
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge from activities associated
with stormwater from the storm drainage system within the jurisdictional area of Pope Air Force Base as appropriate
to control potential pollution from the storm drainage system.
sepjgr L6 m �assocraie<rwi��rwasiewu zT uisci;�;es The permit applies to current and future jurisdictional areas
of Pope Air Force Base. Prior to the discharge of this stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate
storm sewer system it will have been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this individual permit.
The permit authorizes the point source discharge of stormwater runoff from the storm drainage system. In addition,
discharges of non-stormwater are also authorized through the storm drains of Pope Air Force Base if such discharges
are:
(a) Determined to be incidental non-stormwater flows that do not significantly impact water quality and
may include:
water line flushing;
diverted stream flows;
rising groundwaters;
• uncontaminated groundwater infiltration;
• uncontaminated pumped groundwater;
discharges from potable water sources;
foundation drains;
air conditioning condensate (commercial/residential);
irrigation waters;
springs;
water from crawl space pumps;
footing drains;
lawn watering;
residential car washing;
• flows from riparian habitats and wetlands;
dechlorinated swimming pool discharges;
release of clean waters from hydrostatic testing;
• non -contact cooling water;
• drainage of rainwater from clean secondary containment areas (after visually monitoring for
POL product sheens);
steam condensate discharges;
(• street wash water;)
NOTE: We suggest this be deleted as dry methods are preferred to wet methods; we do
not want to encourage personnel to hose off streets (which could potentially
contain traces ofoils, fuels, some amounts of dirt, and/or other pollutants).

flows from emergency fire fighting.
The Division may require that non-stormwater flows of this type be controlled by Pope Air Force
Base's Stormwater Program.
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.
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 II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: FINAL LIMITATIONS AND CONTROLS FOR MILITARY BASE STORMWATER DISCHARGES
Pope Air Force Base will implement, manage, and oversee all provisions of its Stormwater Program to reduce pollutants
discharged from the storm sewer system. This includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
NOTE: For all practical purposes, Pope AFB's SPPP serves as the "base -wide orders" and represents
Pope AFB's Stormwater Program. For that reason, we have substituted SPPP for "Stormwater
Program" in many of the statements below.
(1) Pope Air Force Base will develop and maintain a SPPP (base -wide orders) with the authority to implement all
provisions of the Stormwater Program. Pope Air Force Base will keep the Division advised of the status of the
SPPP. (development of these orders and will pursue them in accordance with the schedule outlined in the
Stormwater Program.) If major modifications are proposed to the SPPP, ( in the time line for development of
these orders,) the Division will be notified of the reasons and justifications for these changes. The Division
may comment on these modifications as deemed necessary to assure appropriate implementation of the SPPP.
(Stormwater Program.) No provision of this permit shall be interpreted as or constitute a commitment that Pope
AFB will obligate or pay funds in contravention of the Anti -Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. Sec. 134 L.
(2) Pope Air Force Base's SPPP (Stormwater Program) will be implemented and managed such that the discharge
of pollutants from the storm sewer system are controlled to the maximum extent practical. It is anticipated that
in order to meet this provision, implementation of the SPPP (Stormwater Program) will occur with emphasis
given to priority areas and to management measures and programs that are most effective and efficient at
varying stages of the plan's implementation.
(3) Pope Air Force Base will implement the SPPP (Stormwater Program) to assure that, to the maximum extent
practical, non-stormwater discharges, illicit connections, spills and illegal dumping into the storm drainage
system are prohibited.
(4) Pope Air Force Base will implement provisions of the SPPP (Stormwater Program) as appropriate to monitor
and assess the performance of the various management measures that are a part of the Stormwater Program.
This will include, but is not limited to, the provisions of Section B ofthis part and the applicable provisions of
Pope Air Force Base's SPPP. (Stormwater Program.)
(5) Pope Air Force Base will maintain adequate funding and staffing to implement and manage the provisions of the
SPPP. (Stormwater Program.)
(6) Pope Air Force Base will implement appropriate education and training programs to support the objectives of
this Stormwater discharge permit and Pope Air Force Base's SPPP. (Stormwater Program.)
The Division will review reports submitted by Pope Air Force Base to assure that the SPPP (Stormwater Program is being
developed and) implemented appropriately to address the components outlined. Such reports will be submitted in accordance
with the schedule outlined in Section C of this Part. The Division may require modifications to any part of Pope Air Force
Base's SPPP (Stormwater Program) where deficiencies are found.
SECTION B: COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
Under the authority of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1, other lawful standards and regulations promulgated and
adopted by the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission, and in accordance with the approved SPPP,
(Stormwater Program,) all provisions contained and referenced in the SPPP (Stormwater Program) are an enforceable part of
this permit.
Permit No. NCS000342
Pope Air Force Base will develop and implement its approved SPPP (Stormwater Program) in accordance with the Clean
Water Act, provisions outlined by the Director, and the provisions of this Permit. The specific requirements of the Clean
Water Act require that Pope Air Force Base effectively prohibit non-stormwater discharges to Pope Air Force Base's storm
sewer system and that controls and management measures are implemented by Pope Air Force Base to reduce the discharge of
pollutants from the storm drainage system to the maximum extent practical. In addition to the components outlined in Section
A of this part, Pope Air Force Base's Stormwater Program will include, but is not limited to, the following components:
(1) Pope Air Force Base will develop and maintain a ctnenr an me
provisions. (of the Stormwater Program. Status of le al authority devPlnnment will be provided to the Division upon
request, a minimum on an annual bast fytc., S C� vA'—
(2) Pope Air Force Base will continue to search for, identify and manage additional sources of stormwater discharge not
previously identified in the permit application process. This will include the location and characterization of major
outfalls from the stormwater system and of any activities or facilities discharging to the system that were not previously
located but are expected to contribute pollutants to the storm sewer system.
(3) Pope Air Force Base will implement management programs as specified in the SPPP to control the discharge of
pollutants from its storm drainage system associated with stormwater runoff from industrial, residential, commercial
and construction areas and pollutants from non-stormwater discharges. These programs will be implemented on a
priority basis as determined and outlined by Pope Air Force Base in the SPPP. The overall program implementation,
however, will be subject to, at a minimum, annual review by the Division to determine implementation status and
progression toward meeting the pollutant control intent of the Stormwater Program. Components of the specific SPPP
programs will include, but are not limited to:
(a) The implementation of education, training and outreach programs designed to reach all areas of Pope Air
Force Base's community and which explain the various impacts of stormwater runoff and how it can affect
surface water quality. These programs will address ways of removing potential pollutants by emphasizing
local involvement in recycling programs; proper disposal of hazardous materials and used motor oil; the
proper use of herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers; and noticing and reporting areas of potential pollution
problems.
(b) The implementation of programs to address the contribution of pollutants to the storm drainage system from
industrial areas including planning, monitoring, education and operation and maintenance activities.
(c) The implementation of programs to detect and remove sources of illicit connections to the storm drainage
system and to remove sources of non-stormwater discharge.
(d) The implementation of inspection and monitoring programs for stormwater structures, industrial activities
and other areas of the stormwater system .
(e) The implementation of programs to reduce pollutants from construction sites through site planning,
education, training, inspection, and enforcement mechanisms.
The approved SPPP along with all provisions and approved modifications of the SPPP are incorporated by
reference and are enforceable parts of this permit.
(4) Pope Air Force Base will implement monitoring efforts as outlined in the SPPP (Stormwater Program) to prioritize
areas of the plan (program) and to assess the effectiveness of plan (program) components. These monitoring results
will be used by Pope Air Force Base to modify the plan (program) components as necessary to accomplish the intent
of the plan. (Stormwater Program.) Results of the monitoring programs will be submitted to the Division according to
the provisions of Section C ojthis Part.
(5) Monitoring programs in the context of this permit are not limited only to conventional monitoring in the form of
sampling and analysis activities. Assessment of program implementation, use of programs established by the SPPP,
(Stormwater Program,) etc. are also a part of this process.
(6) Analytical monitoring activities are required as part of the monitoring process in accordance with the provisions
outlined in the SPPP. (Stormwater Program.) The parameters to be monitored are those that have the potential to be
present at the various outfalls based on the information provided regarding the industrial activities occurring in those
