Mr. Brinchek,
I just wanted to let you know that we received the application package for the General Permit Coverage (NCG240000) in
our office. The package did not contain the $100 application fee and your letter indicated it would come under separate
cover. Our processing cannot begin until the fee is received. We will hold the package for a few days, but we may have
to return the package if we don't receive the fee.
As our application forms state, the fee is a required part of the package and it is helpful if all material comes in together
for processing.
Thank You

Site Narrative
1.1 Site Description
The Wilkes Road Yard Waste Treatment and Processing Facility (Facility) is a large Type 1 composting facility
that receives yard waste, land clearing debris, and wooden pallets for processing. The Facility is located off
Wilkes Road (S.R. 1007) west of the intersection of Wilkes Road and N.C. Highway 87 and is sited on
approximately 35 acres of Cumberland County property with a total processing and composting area of 18.5
acres. Wooden pallets and tree stumps are separated from yard waste and ground to produce mulch, As
required by North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules, yard waste and mixed loads are ground and
composted prior to being made accessible to the public.
1.2 Project Description
The Facility was permitted on July 1, 1986, by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section (SWS) under Permit No. 26-F. In August
1992, the 10-acre Land Clearing and Inert Debris (LCID) Landfill was capped using a 1-foot-thick compacted
soil cover.
The current yard waste treatment and processing unit sited within the Facility limits began operations on
August 1, 1995 and is located adjacent to and east of the capped LCID Landfill. The current yard waste
treatment and processing unit was permitted on July 24, 2006, by SWS Permit No. 26-10. A Phase II Post -
Construction Stormwater permit application was originally submitted on August 1, 2009, but after a
preliminary review the Stormwater Permitting Unit determined that a stormwater permit was not necessary
as the site was existing and no additional impervious area was being added. The notification letter is included
in Attachment 2.
A Large Type 1 Composting Facility permit application was originally submitted in May 2011 and revised in
2014 to cover yard waste processing and composting operations. The treatment and processing unit includes
the following:
• A stockpile and processing area for residential yard waste and debris as well as commercial yard
waste and land clearing debris;
• A stockpile and processing area for turning wooden pallets into red mulch;
• An overflow stockpile for raw residential yard waste and debris along with commercial yard waste
and land clearing debris;
• A yard waste composting area; and
• An equipment storage area and household drop-off area.

Attachment 1 • Site Narrative
1.3 Facility Operation
1.3.1 Facility Capacity
The facility receives on average approximately 300 tons of waste per day with the capacity to receive 1,000
tons per day during periods of high demand. The total facility capacity is 31,400 cubic yards (yd3) with 6,400
yd3for wooden pallets and 25,000 yd3 foryard waste and land clearing debris.
1.3.2 Waste Acceptance Procedures
Commercial and residential haulers transporting raw waste materials enter the Facility and are weighed at
the scale house. At the scale house an attendant determines if the load contains acceptable material which
includes land clearing debris, yard waste, and wooden pallets. Any unacceptable material is disposed of at
the Cumberland County Ann Street Solid Waste Landfill,
1.3.3 Mulching Production
Tree stumps and wood pallets are ground separately and made available to the public as mulch. Raw product
is loaded into one of two mobile tub grinders by County personnel where a conveyor belt carries the ground
material into the power screen. The power screen then separates the ground material into fine and rough
ground mulch, which are stockpiled in separate areas.
The tub grinder also has a built-in color system which is occasionally used with a dye for the processing of
wooden pallets to generate red mulch. Wooden pallets are stockpiled until a sufficient amount of raw
materials are available for processing (approximately 500 yd3).
1.3.4 Composting Procedures
Yard waste, land clearing debris, and mixed waste are composted to a temperature of not less than 131 °F for
3 days prior to being sold to the public. After the debris to be composted is ground, County personnel build
windrows with a maximum height of 15 feet and a maximum width of 30 feet. At each step of the windrow
preparation process, soil and/or water is added to moisten the windrow. Once the windrow is in place,
County personnel monitor and record the pile temperature. After temperature records show evidence that
the pile has reached the minimum 131 "F for 3 consecutive days the pile is turned using the bucket of a
loader, Once the material has become earthy and black the compost process is complete and the material is
sold to the public.
1.4 Stormwater Treatment
Stormwater will be treated through the use of grassed swales and sediment traps prior to being discharged
off site. There are four grassed swales in place that range in length from 180 feet to 365 feet. Each of the
swales has a longitudinal gradient of 1% and side slopes of 5:1.
Sediment traps are located at the base of each grassed swale to prevent sediment and other debris from
leaving the site. All stormwater is diverted around the perimeter of the site prior to exiting through two
points located on the eastern edge of the property. All Stormwater treatment features are shown in the
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (Sheets C-1, C-2, CD-1, and CD-2).
1.5 Maintenance
Maintenance of the erosion and sedimentation control structures shall be performed as follows:

1.4 Activities at the Facility
The Wilkes Road Yard Waste Treatment and Processing Facility (Facility) is a large Type 1 composting
facility that receives yard waste, land clearing debris, and wooden pallets for processing. The Facility is
NPDES Permit No. NCG240000 2

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
Wilkes Road Yard Waste Treatment and Processing facility
located off Wilkes Road (S.R. 1007) west of the intersection of Wilkes Road and N.C. Highway 87 and is
sited on approximately 35 acres of Cumberland County property with a total processing and composting
area of 18.5 acres. Wooden pallets and tree stumps are separated from yard waste and ground to produce
mulch. As required by North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules, yard waste and mixed loads are
ground and composted prior to being made accessible to the public.
The facility receives on average approximately 300 tons of waste per day with the capacity to receive 1,000
tons per day during periods of high demand. The total facility capacity is 31,400 cubic yards (yd3) with
6,400 yd3 for wooden pallets and 25,000 yd3 for yard waste and land clearing debris.
Commercial and residential haulers transporting raw waste materials enter the Facility and are weighed at
the scale house. At the scale house an attendant determines if the load contains acceptable material which
includes land clearing debris, yard waste, and wooden pallets. Any unacceptable material is disposed of at
the Cumberland County Ann Street Solid Waste Landfill.
Tree stumps and wood pallets are ground separately and made available to the public as mulch, Raw
product is loaded into one of two mobile tub grinders by County personnel where a conveyor belt carries
the ground material into the power screen. The power screen then separates the ground material into fine
® and rough ground mulch, which are stockpiled in separate areas.
The tub grinder also has a built-in color system which is occasionally used with a dye for the processing of
® wooden pallets to generate red mulch. Wooden pallets are stockpiled until a sufficient amount of raw
lO materials are available for processing (approximately 500 yd3).
Yard waste, land clearing debris, and mixed waste are composted to a temperature of not less than 131 OF
for 3 days prior to being sold to the public. After the debris to be composted is ground, County personnel
build windrows with a maximum height of 15 feet and a maximum width of 30 feet. At each step of the
windrow preparation process, soil and/or water is added to moisten the windrow. Once the windrow is in
place, County personnel monitor and record the pile temperature. After temperature records show evidence
that the pile has reached the minimum 131 OF for 3 consecutive days the pile is turned using the bucket of
a loader. Once the material has become earthy and black the compost process is complete and the
material is sold to the public.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
Wilkes Road Yard Waste Treatment and Processing Facility
SECTION 3: STORMWATER CONTROL MEASURES
3.1 Minimize Exposure
The 300 gallon oil storage tank located near the pallet processing area is covered with a roof to minimize
exposure to precipitation. The tank is also located within a concrete containment basin to minimize the
effects of a spill. No other special structures are in use to minimize the exposure of industrial activities to
rain, snow, snowmelt, and runoff.
3.2 Good Housekeeping
® Good housekeeping requires the maintenance of areas that may contribute pollutants to stormwater
discharges. In order to reduce the potential for pollutants to be introduced into the stormwater system, the
® areas surrounding each industrial activity noted in section two should be regularly maintained.
® The oil storage tank located near the pallet processing area should be regularly examined for any signs of a
® recent spill or leak. If evidence of a spill or leak is present, the Spill Response and Control measures noted
in section five should be immediately implemented.
0
In accordance with the requirements of the NC General Permit for Composting Facilities, NCG24000C, the
County ensures equipment used during composting activities on a site is operated and maintained to
prevent potential pollution of the surface water or groundwaters of the state. Fuels, lubricants, coolants,
hydraulic fluids, or any other petroleum products are not discharged on the ground or into surface waters.
lO Inspections for these practices are performed routinely by County staff prior to operation on a weekly basis.
3.3 Maintenance
In accordance with the requirements of the NC General Permit for Composting Facilities, NCG240000, the
County ensures that spent lubricants and fuels are disposed of properly and in accordance with applicable
federal disposal regulations. Spilled fluids are cleaned up to the maximum extent practicable and properly
disposed of to prevent entry to surface waters or groundwaters of the state.
Vehicle and equipment maintenance are done off -site at the Cumberland County Ann Street Landfill,
therefore no additional analytical monitoring is required for on -site maintenance areas.
3.4 Spill Prevention and Response
If a spill or leak should occur, immediate action is required in order to stop, contain, clean up, and report the
release. In the case of contaminant spillage, the following actions should be taken;
Secure_ the Scene
- Approach the spill cautiously from Upwind.
- Resist the urge to rush in; others cannot be helped until the situation has been fully assessed,
- Without entering the immediate hazard area, isolate the spill. Keep people outside of the safety
perimeter, Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment,
NI'DES Permit No. NCG240000 5

Stormrvater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
Wilkes Road Yard Wlaste'rreatment and Processing Facility
- Stay clear of all spills, vapors, fumes, and smoke.
Identify the Material
Use one of the following methods to identify any containers that could be susceptible to leakage:
The 4-digit ID number on a placard or orange panel on the container.
- The 4-digit ID number on a shipping document or package.
- The name of the material on a shipping document, placard, or package (i.e. "USED OIL",
"Pesticides", "Solvents", etc.).
Assess the Danger
Can you take action to neutralize the spill without causing harm to yourself?
- YES — There is.no immediate danger.
Attempt to neutralize the spill with a hazardous materials (HAZMAT) emergency spill kit. See
Figure 1 below for examples of a HAZMAT spill kit.
- NO — There is immediate danger (fire, smoke, explosions, etc).
If you feel that the situation poses a threat to your personal safety, DO NOT attempt to neutralize
the spill. Instead call 911 and ask the dispatcher to send a HAZMAT team to the site.
Figure 1. Emergency Spill Kits
Neutralize the Spill
A HAZMAT spill kit contains materials, including various types of pads, socks, pillows, and gloves, which
act as universal oil -based liquid absorbers and can be applied to any potential oil -based contaminant spill.
Apply the absorbent materials from the kits directly onto the spilled contaminant and follow the instructions
provided with the kit. Use the absorbent materials to Dike, Divert, and Contain the spill.
- Dike: Use -absorbent materials to create dikes or barriers that block the downstream path of the
spill. Dikes can also be used to protect wetland areas or pervious areas that are in the downstream
flow path of the spill.
- Divert: A series of absorbent pad dikes can be placed to divert the spill away from sensitive
wetland or pervious areas.
NPDES Penilit No. NCG240000 6

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
Wilkes Road Yard Waste Treatment and Processing Facility
- Contain: Place absorbent materials directly on the spill as well as around it to contain the
contaminants and prevent spreading.
If no pads are available, soil or sand can be placed on or around the spill to dike, divert, and contain it.
SL2i&osal Procedures
Place the collected contaminant and all materials used to dike, divert and contain the spill in the
sealable containment devices provided with the HAZMAT spill kits.
- Contact the local fire department to collect and dispose of the sealed containers.
- Store the sealed containers in a dry, secure place until they are picked up by the fire department.
Notification Requirements
Notification and documentation of each spill or leak is required in accordance with the following procedures:
Contact Authorities
- Notify all members of the Spill Response Team (provided below) immediately.
- Notify the North Carolina Department of Water Quality (DWQ) and the National Response Center
within 24 hours in the case of any contaminant spill of 25 gallons or more, or if the petroleum
causes a sheen on nearby surface water, or if the petroleum is discharged at a distance of 100 feet
or less from any surface water body. If deemed necessary, DWQ will send a field representative
out to the site to assist in supervising the containment and cleanup of the spilled material. Contact

3.5 Erosion and Sediment Controls
Stormwater will be treated through the use of grassed swales and sediment traps. There are four grassed
swales in place that range in length from 180 feet to 365 feet. Each of the swales has a longitudinal
gradient of 1% and side slopes of 5:1.
Sediment traps are located at the base of each grassed swale to prevent sediment and other debris from
leaving the site. All stormwater is diverted around the perimeter of the site prior to exifing the site through
two outfalls located on the eastern edge of the property. All stormwater treatment features are shown on
the Site Maps (Sheets G1, C-2) located in Attachment B,
Maintenance of the erosion and sedimentation control structures shall be performed as follows:
1. All erosion and sediment control structures will be checked for stability and operation following
every runoff producing rainfall, and at a minimum of once per week. Any needed repairs will be
made immediately to maintain the structures as designed.
Sediment traps will be cleaned when the level of sediment accumulates to half the design depth
All disturbed areas will be stabilized following cleaning activities.
3. Sediment will be removed from grass channels when it reaches half the design depth. All disturbed
areas will be stabilized following sediment removal.

specifications in the vegetative plan to maintain a vigorous and dense vegetative cover.
3.6 Management of Runoff
® .The permittee maintains stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) for disturbance and processing
0 areas. Controls such as silt fencing and berms are used to limit or isolate selected land disturbance and
process areas and limit the amount of off -site stormwater runon to those areas. BMPs such as berms,
® grassed swales, and sediment traps are used to divert, infiltrate, reuse or otherwise manage stormwater
® runoff and runon in a manner that reduces pollutants in stormwater discharges leaving the site.
3.7 Salt Storage Piles or Piles Containing Salt
No salt storage occurs at the Facility.
3.8 MSGP Sector -Specific Non -Numeric Effluent Limits
Stormwaterrunoff control. Land disturbing activities are accomplished such that all stormwater runoff is
directed to the perimeter of the site where it is discharged through two outfalls located on the eastern edge
of the property.
3.9 Employee Training
Employees who work in the treatment and processing areas of the facility where industrial activities are
exposed to stormwater, including members of the Pollution Prevention Team, will review the SPPP as well
as the 0&M Plan at least once yearly at the same time as the annual qualitative review. The training should
be recorded with the annual qualitative review.
To ensure proper implementation of the SPPP, all employees and members of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Team should be trained by supervisory personnel in the following areas,
Spill Prevention and Response (see section five of this plan for additional information)
- Identifying potential spill areas and drainage routes
- Properly reporting spills and contacting the Spill Response Team
- Implementing spill response procedures
Goad Housekeeping
- Instruct employees to perform regular cleaning of their work areas as appropriate to prevent

Wilkes Road Yard Waste Treatment and Processing Facility
SECTION 4: SCHEDULES AND PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING
Stormwater Analytical Monitoring
Stormwater analytical monitoring shall be conducted quarterly at the two outfalls located along the eastern
property boundary during a representative storm event that causes discharge. Samples for total suspended
solids, chemical oxygen demand, fecal coliform, total nitrogen, total phosphorous, copper, lead, and zinc
shall be collected and sent to an offsite laboratory for analysis. Field measurements of pH and turbidity
shall also be collected at the outfall during these events. Total rainfall, event duration, and total flow shall
also be recorded on the Stormwater Discharge Outf all (SDO) Qualitative Inspection Monitoring form.
Quarterly analytical data and rainfall data will be recorded on a Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form
and kept on file in the scale house. However, if any parameter benchmark is exceeded for a quarterly
event, a Stormwater Exceedence DMR form will be forwarded to the Regional DWQ office within 30 days of
receipt of the analytical data. Analytical results for the quarterly events will be compiled in an Annual DMR
Form for submittal to the Central DWQ office by March 1 of the following year.
Quarterly stormwater samples shall be collected between January 1 — March 31, April 1 — June 30, July 1 —
September 30, and October 1 — December 31, with a minimum of 30 days between samples.
Benchmark Limitations
The benchmark values for each sampling parameter are presented in the NC General Permit for
Composting Facilities (NCG240000), See Attachment C, Part II, Section B for benchmark values and
detailed data collection requirements.
Stormwater Qualitative Inspection Monitoring
® Stormwater qualitative inspection monitoring shall be conducted at the two outfalls along the property
0 boundary in accordance with requirements presented in Attachment C, Part II, Section D. Qualitative
inspection monitoring shall include descriptions and observations made at the outfall and include: Color,
® odor, clarity, floating solids, suspended solids, foam, oil sheen, indications of sediment deposition,
indications of erosion, and any other obvious indication of stormwater pollution. All qualitative inspections
shall be recorded on the attached Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO) Qualitative Inspection Monitoring
form and kept on file in the scale house. If obvious indications of turbidity, erosion or sedimentation are
observed, perform maintenance as necessary.

SECTION 5: INSPECTIONS
Routine Facility Inspection Documentation
You must document the findings of each routine facility inspection performed and maintain this
documentation onsite with your SPPP. You are not required to submit your routine facility inspection
findings unless specifically requested to do so. At a minimum, your documentation of each routine facility
inspection must include:
- The inspection date and time;
- The name(s) and signature(s) of the inspector(s);
- Weather information and a description of any discharges occurring at the time of the inspection;
- Any previously unidentified discharges of pollutants from the site;
- Any control measures needing maintenance or repairs;
- Any failed control measures that need replacement;
- Any incidents of noncompliance observed; and
- Any additional control measures needed to comply with the permit requirements.
Quarterly Visual Assessment Procedures
Four times per year for the entire permit term, you must collect a stormwater sample from each outfall and
conduct a visual assessment of each of these samples. These samples are not required to be collected
consistent with 40 CFR Part 136 procedures, but should be collected in such a man.ner that the samples
are representative of the stormwater discharge,
The visual assessment must be made:
- Of a sample in a clean, clear glass, or plastic container, and examined in a well -lit area;
- On samples collected within the first 30 minutes of an actual discharge from a storm event.
If it is not possible to collect the sample within the first 30 minutes of discharge, the sample must be
collected as soon as practicable after the first 30 minutes and you must document why it was not possible
to take samples within the first 30 minutes. In the case of snowmelt, samples must be taken during a period
with a measurable discharge from your site; and for storm events, on discharges that occur at least 72
hours (3 days) from the previous discharge.
The 72-hour (3-day) storm interval does not apply if you document that less than a 72-hour (3-day) interval
is representative for local storm events during the sampling period. You must visually inspect the sample
for specific water quality characteristics as described in Attachment C, Part II, Section D, Table 6.
Comprehensive Site Inspection Procedures
You must conduct annual comprehensive site inspections while you are covered under this permit.
You are waived.from having to perform a comprehensive site inspection for an inspection period, as
defined above, if you obtain authorization to discharge less than three months before the end of that
inspection period.
Should your coverage be administratively continued after the expiration date of this permit, you must
continue to perform these inspections annually until you are no longer covered.

also include a review of monitoring data collected in accordance with the permit. Inspectors must consider
the results of the past year's visual and analytical monitoring when planning and conducting inspections.
Inspectors must examine the following;
Industrial materials, residue, or trash that may have or could come into contact with stormwater;
- Leaks or spills from industrial equipment, drums, tanks, and other containers;
Offsite tracking of industrial or waste materials, or sediment where vehicles enter or exit the site;
Tracking or blowing of raw, final, or waste materials from areas of no exposure to exposed areas;
- Control measures needing replacement, maintenance, or repair.
Stormwater control measures required by this permit must be observed to ensure that they are
functioning correctly. If discharge locations are inaccessible, nearby downstream locations must be
inspected.
Your annual comprehensive site inspection may also be used as one of the routine inspections, as long as
all components of both types of inspections are included.

PART 1 — INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
Q All persons desiring to have facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (N01) and applicable fees. The NO1 shall be
O submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater
O associated with industrial activity or process wastewater.
This General Permit covers composting operations that discharge stormwater that has come in
® contact with qualifying finished compost, and site stormwater which has not come in contact with
O any raw materials, intermediate products, final products, by-products, or waste products during
the compost manufacturing process; and stormwater runoff from vehicle and equipment
maintenance activities.
This General Permit also covers composting operations with discharges of process wastewater
arising from raw materials, intermediate products, final products not qualifying as finished
compost, by-products, or waste products.
This General Permit also authorizes the construction and operation of process wastewater
treatment facilities.
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 1 SA 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 he covered by this General Permit may request
that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be provided.
• Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum
. Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater or wastewater discharges is established. A TMDL,
sets a pollutant -loading limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to a
specific impaired water. For discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under
• this permit may depend on the facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential
to violate applicable water quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If
DWQ determines that discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard
violations, the facility shall apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of
• this General Permit. Once that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have
coverage under this General Permit. Note that the permittee must identify impaired waters
e (scheduled for TMDL development) and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site Plan, as
outlined in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, Part I1, Section A.
r�
L�
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
• Until coverage under this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to
discharge stormwater and process wastewater to the surface waters of North Carolina, or to a
separate storm sewer system, which has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with
Part I Page 1 of 3
U

Permit No. NCG240000
the terms and conditions of this General Permit. The types of authorized discharges are
dependent upon DWQ approval and are detailed in the permittee's individual Certificate of
Coverage (COC); where applicable, the COC also details DWQ's Authorization to Construct
(ATC) and authorization to operate process wastewater treatment facilities.
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. If
composting operations will expand or change such that the types of discharges are affected, the
permittee shall contact DWQ in'advance to determine if modifications to the COC are necessary.
Where wetlands are located on, or nearby, composting operations, discharges allowed by this
permit, and site operations, must meet applicable wetland standards as outlined in 15A NCAC 2B
.0230 and .0231 and water quality certification requirements as outlined in 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of
Water Quality Standards.
This permit does not relieve the permittee's responsibility for compliance with any other applicable
federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, or decree.
SECTION C: COMPLIANCE SCHEDULE FOR NEW AND EXISTING DISCHARGERS
For the first term of this permit from October 1, 2011 until September 30, 2016 (or as the term may
subsequently be administratively extended, or shortened, by DWQ action), the permit provides for
the following different compliance schedules for new and existing dischargers.
New dischargers. New dischargers are subject to the compliance schedule contained in
Part IV Section A 1. A new discharger is any regulated composting facility initiating the
discharge of stormwater or process wastewater on or after January 1, 2011.
2. Existing dischargers. Existing dischargers are subject to the following compliance
schedule in lieu of the schedule contained in Part IV Section A 1. An existing discharger is
any regulated composting facility that discharged stormwater or wastewater before
January 1, 2011.
(a) The permittee is required to come into full compliance with this permit as soon as
possible.
(b) Within 6 months of DWQ's issuance of the permittee's COC the permittee shall
submit to the'DWQ Regional Office Surface Water Protection Supervisor a schedule
of activities to achieve full compliance with the requirements of this permit.
The permittee's proposed schedule for full compliance may present
considerations related to annual budgeting constraints, and/or additional
sampling requirements; however, the Regional Office Surface Water
Protection Supervisor will evaluate whether such considerations, in his/her
judgment, unreasonably delay the permittee's pursuit of expedited full
compliance as soon as possible.
Part I Page 2 of 3

Permit No. NCG240000
b. The Regional Office Surface Water Protection Supervisor may require
revisions to the permittee's proposed plan for full compliance, and may
withhold approval of it.
c. The permittee shall comply with the requirements of the approved plan for
full compliance.
d. The permittee shall submit to DWQ all analytical data collected if a sampling
plan is part of the plan for full compliance;
(c) For stormwater discharges, the quarterly monitoring and reporting actions required
in Part 11 Section B remain in effect under this compliance schedule. The
requirement for Tiered response actions are stayed until a date set in the approved
plan for full compliance.
(d) For wastewater discharges, the quarterly monitoring and reporting actions required
in Part 11 Section E remain in effect under this compliance schedule. The
requirement to comply with the effluent limitations is stayed until a date set in the
approved plan for full compliance.
(e) This General Permit does not allow the continuation of the required compliance
schedule beyond four years from the date of the initial issuance of the COC.

PART 11 — MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER DISCHARGES: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION
PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). ThE
SPPP is public information in accordance with Part IV, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3
of this General Permit. The SPPP 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 that 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 outfalls
discharge, 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 points of discharge. The general location map (or alternatively
the site map) shall identify whether each receiving water is unpaired (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 parameters of concern are.
(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 that
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary,
the stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and
wetlands, industrial activity areas (including but not limited to scales, receiving,
staging, blending, storage, composting, screening, rejects, curing, warehousing,
packaging, labeling, loading, and other manufacturing activities ), site topography
and finished grade, all drainage features and structures, drainage area boundaries
and total contributing area for each outfall, direction of flow in each drainage area,
industrial activities occurring in each drainage area, buildings; stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs) with design capacities, process wastewater
treatment facilities, and permanent impervious surfaces, such as roads or process
areas that are unlikely to change frequently. The site map shall include a graphic
scale indication and north arrow. In addition, the following in activity areas
must also be identified on the site map: fueling, vehicle and equipment maintenance
and repair, washing, painting, welding, and metal fabrication.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred during the
previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
A list of the occurrence and duration of every process wastewater bypass or
diversion from treatment units, along with the on -site rain gauge reading on the day .
before, the day(s) of, and the day after the bypass or diversion. The permittee must
insert the written record of the bypass or diversion into the SPPP within 24 hours of
the beginning of the bypass or diversion, and must note the end of the bypass or
diversion as part of the same written record.
Part II Page 1 of 11 -

Permit No. NCG240000
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually 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 IV, 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 stormwater exposure of significant materials, including finished compost as
well as materials that may be present on site but not intentionally within the
® manufacturing process (i.e., wind-blown, tracked -out, dragged -out, or otherwise
accidentally dispersed on -site materials). 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 rainfall and run on flows. 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 stormwater run on 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 III 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 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 any
material. 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.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMP) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwaters discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Suwnmary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
(d) Rain gauge. The permittee shall maintain a rain gauge and daily rainfall amount
records on site.
Part II Page 2 of 11

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 responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be
identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each
individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan_ 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 Spill Prevention
Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) 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.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The
program shall ensure that equipment present on the site must be operated and maintained
to prevent potential pollution of the surface water or groundwaters of the state. Fuels,
lubricants, coolants, hydraulic fluids, or any other petroleum products shall not be
discharged on the ground or into surface waters. Spent lubricants and fuels shall be
disposed of properly and in accordance with applicable federal disposal regulations.
Spilled fluids shall be cleaned up to the maximum extent practicable and properly disposed
of to prevent entry to surface waters or groundwaters of the state. The program shall
establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping measures for vehicle
and equipment maintenance and industrial activity areas (including material storage and
handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads),
where not already addressed under another element of the SPPP. Schedules for
inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping, and documentation that these program
elements are being implemented, shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
S. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response
and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations
that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Where the materials or
activities are present, specific training is required for: used oil management, spent solvent
management, spent abrasives management, fueling, sanding, painting, and used battery
management. The facility personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be
identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each
employee trained.
Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position responsible for the overall
coordination, development, implementation, and revision to the SPPP. Responsibilities for
all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided.
7. SPPP Amendment. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, waste receipts, site drainage, maintenance, or
configuration of the physical features, which may have a significant effect on the potential
for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed
and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include:
(a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3)
years, or the notation that n© spills have occurred;
(b] a written re -certification that the stormwater oUtfalls have been evaluated for the
presence of non-stormwater. discharges;
Part 11 Page 3 of 11

Permit No. NCG240000
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs.
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP 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 SPPP to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part
IV, Standard Conditions, Section B, paragraph S) to the Director that the changes have been
made.
8. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as
part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a
quarterly schedule. These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the
stormwater discharge characteristic qualitative monitoring required in Part II Section D of
this permit.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the SPPP and all appropriate
BMPs to ensure that contaminants do not enter surface waters via stormwater.
Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees,
including the log of the sampling data and ofactions taken to implement BMPs
associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle and equipment 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: STORMWATER DISCHARGES: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring for stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Tables 1
through 3. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measurable storm event. This

petition DWQ to reduce the monitoring frequency for any parameter after four consecutive quarters of
analytical results below the benchmark values in Table 3.
2. Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge.
3. Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted in writing by DWQ. A copy of the letter granting
ROS shall be kept on site in the SPPP.
4. For each sampled measurable storm event the total precipitation must be reported. An on -site rain gauge
reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain
gauge reading maybe substituted for an on -site reading. The permittee is not required to sample
stormwater discharges resulting from a rainfall greater than the 25 yr, 24-hr even tfor the site location,
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted
site outfall. The time between this storm event and the previous storm event must have been at
least 48 hours. One storm event may have a time period within it that has no precipitation. This
time period may last up to 10 hours. For example, if it rains but stops before producing any
collectable discharge, a sample may be collected if the next rain producing a discharge begins within
10 hours.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in
Table 2. A minimum of 30 days must separate each sample event unless monthly monitoring has
been instituted under a Tier 2 response. Failure to comply with quarterly monitoring is a violation
of the terms and conditions of this permit, unless adverse weather conditions (e:g., lightning
storms, or no rain and/or no discharge) prevent sample collection during the sample collection
period. Inability to sample due to adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP
with date, time, and written narrative and reported on the quarterly Discharge Monitoring Reports

SECTION E: PROCESS WASTEWATER DISCHARGES: EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND
MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Process wastewater discharges are discharges that have contacted any raw materials, intermediate
products, final products not qualifying as finished compost, by-products, or waste products during
compost manufacturing. Discharges of leachates, wash waters, and rinse waters are considered
process wastewater discharges.
Finished Compost
'Finished compost' is a specific level of compost maturity, or degree of completion of the compost
degradation process. Not all final products produced at composting operations are necessarily
'finished compost' as the term is used in this permit. DWQ relies on the Division of Waste
Management to determine whether the final product from a composting operation is 'finished
compost', or not. Discharges arising from qualifying 'finished compost' maybe permitted as
stormwater discharges. Other discharges from final products will be permitted as process
wastewater discharges under this Section E.
e Analytical monitoring for process wastewater discharges shall be performed as specified below in
i Table 7. For each parameter, the process wastewater effluent limitation is contained in Table 8.
An exceedence of a process wastewater effluent limitation is a violation of the permit conditions
® and may be subject to enforcement action as specified in Part 1V, Section A.2 of this permit.
