Inspection hate: 0210712019 Inspection Typo : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary_
On February 7, 2019 this facility was inspected for compliance. I met with Larry Hill on site. During the inspection, the
following items were noted:
1) Racks and cages stored outside had visible waste from previous industrial activity. The facility is directed to immediately
pursue moving these cages and containers indoors, or under roof. Staging the cages outside it compliant with the NEC
certification.
2) A tote storage area was observed adjacent to the cagelcontainer staging area, visible impact to the concrete was
observed as oil sheen. The facility is directed to immediately evaluate the possibility of the presence of a leaking container
and address it as soon as possible.
3) Due to the overall capacity of the containers in the storage area, the permittee shall provide secondary containment for
the totes on site to be in compliance with the No Exposure Certification.
This site will be re -inspected on or after March 27, 2019. If the above issues have not been addressed, further action will be
taken.

Dear Mr. Roper;
The Division has reviewed your application for a No Exposure Certification for Exclusion (NE) for the subject
facility. Based on the information provided and a site visit conducted on November 5, 2015 and January 10, 2016, the
NE has been approved.
Please note that you are obligated to maintain no -exposure conditions at your facility. If conditions change such that
your facility can no longer qualify for a NE, you are obligated to immediately obtain NPDES permit coverage for your
stormwater discharge. 'Otherwise, the discharge becomes subject to enforcement as an un-permitted discharge. Your
NE does not expire. In order to help assure that your facility stays in compliance with all of the conditions in the
Certification, you must self -recertify your facility at least annually.
Your conditional exclusion from permitting does not affect your facility's legal requirements to obtain environmental
permits that.may be required under other federal, state, or local regulations or ordinances.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Darlene Kucken at [phone].
Sincerely,

Good Morning Darlene,

The regional offices are authorized to approve the no exposure permits and send out letters notifying them of their approval. Since you have approved the no
exposure (NCGNE1163) permit go ahead and make that an active permit in BIMS and then send out a letter to Jeff Roper notifying him of approval. I can rescind
NCG030203 and make a note that you approved the no exposure.
Thanks for your assistance.

Subject: Parker Hannifin - NCG030203
Hi gals,
I hope you've been able to dig out by now. Snow mostly gone from here and above freezing temp's into the near future! Yayl

On Nov 5, 2015 1 conducted and inspection at Parker Hannifin per their request. The meeting included their consultant Chalem Pakala. The site was in
1'
compliance; very clean inside and out and the only thing outside was a dozen or so stored pallets. Two things came out of that inspection:
1. 1 suggested they remove the pallets and consider applying for a No Exposure Certification.
2. Chalem had requested permission to sample just outfall 003 from Raleigh. This is the outfail that they are sampling now. Rutherford Co was in a
significant drought and heat wave this year and they have a hard time getting a sample because of Stormwater flow dispersement under normal
conditions. They are sending you the most recent sample today but they are under benchmarks at outfail 003.
Results from yesterday's inspection:
1. They had a large sealed container outside for sludge from the extractor system. It would take them a long time to fill this container enough to warrant
hauling, So instead of this system, they are now holding the sludge in 55 gallon drums indoors and it is being hauled to SC in this manner more
frequently. So there is no longer any storage of sludge materials outside.
2. They had a closed container built -for the used pallets and their recycles (cardboard). So used pallets are no longer exposed to Stormwater.
My recommendation:
Given that the facility is very clean indoors and out; that there are no materials stored outside; and all shipping is in packaged boxes on unused pallets, I don't
see a need for them to maintain a SW permit and conduct sampling. They did say that they want to continue to conduct their visuals and maintain their SWPPP
as though they have a permit so that they stay on top of all the visuals needed to keep the facility in good shape.
I recommend that the facility's request for No Exposure be granted.
Please let me know if there is anything else you need from me. Jeff Roper, facility contact, is looking forward to hearing from you.

National Poliutant Discha I14Wfi9n* application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permit based
on NO EXPOSURE: Asheville DENR-LAND QUALITY
STORMWATER PERMITTING
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notification that your facility does not require a
permit for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity in the State of North Carolina because
it qualifies for a no exposure exclusion. A condition of no exposure at an industrial facility means all
industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter (with some exceptions) to
prevent exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and/or runoff.
For permitted facilities in North Carolina, DEML.R must approve your application for No
Exposure Certification before this exclusion is effective. Until you are issued a No
Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue
to abide by the terms and conditions of the current permit.
Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited to: material handling equipment or activities,
industrial machinery, raw materials, intermediate products, by-products, final products, or waste products.
Material handling activities include the storage, loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of
any raw material, intermediate product, final product or waste product. A storm resistant shelter is not
required for the following industrial materials and activities: drums, barrels, tanks, and similar containers
that are tightly sealed, provided those containers are not deteriorated and do not leak. "Sealed" means
banded or otherwise secured and with locked or non -operational taps or valves; adequately maintained
vehicles used in material handling; and final products, other than products that would be mobilized in
stormwater discharges (e.g., rock salt).
A No Exposure Certification must be provided for each facty qualifying for the no exposure exclusion. In
addition, the exclusion from NPDES permitting is available on a facility -wide basis only —not for individual
outfalls. If any industrial activities or materials are, or will be, exposed to precipitation, the facilifyis not
eligible for the no exposure exclusion. By signing and submitting this No Exposure Certification form, you
certify that a condition of no exposure exists at this facility or site and are obligated to comply with -the
terms and conditions of 40 CFR 122.26(g).
If approved, your conditional no -exposure exclusion must be self re -certified at least atnnually.

Hydraulic Valve Division
203 Pine Street
Forest City, NC 28043
Subject. Activities and Products
This location manufactures both Industrial and Mobile Hydraulic Valves for various markets including
but not limited to the construction, mining, agricultural and the machine tool markets. The core
components of the hydraulic valve are the body, spools that fit in the bores of the body and various
components assembled to the body. We are primarily a machining, assembly, test and shipping facility
with some secondary machining operations, wash processes and a black zinc phosphating process.
Machining operations include milling, horizontal and vertical drilling, turning and honing to produce the
body of the valve. The machined bodies are made of gray cast and ductile iron. Once machined these
bodies are washed and cleaned and then subjected to a black zinc coating. At this point the valve bodies
would go to assembly where various configurations come out of the assembly process. A wide variety of
components, including small valve bodies, coils, tubes, spools and etc. are assembled (attached and/or
installed) to the body to complete a valve. Valve assemblies are functionally tested 100% at max
pressures of 5,000 PSI with oil temperatures ranging from 100 —115 degrees Fahrenheit. Product is
then boxed and shipped to various customers on a global scale.
In addition we are actively involved in recycling oils, coolants and landfill waste.

Dear Mr. Roper;
DONALD R. VAN DER VAART
Serrelary
TRACY DAVIS
On November 5, 2015, a site inspection was conducted for the Parker Hannifin Corporation facility located at 203
Pine Street, Forest City, Rutherford County, North Carolina. Mr. Jeff Roper and Mr. Chalem Pakala were present
during the inspection and their time and assistance is greatly appreciated. The site visit and file review revealed that
the subject facility is covered by NPDES Stormwater General Permit Certificate of Coverage NCG030203. Permit
coverage authorizes the discharge of stormwater from the facility to receiving waters within the Broad River Basin.
As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to be in compliance with the conditions of the NCG030203 permit.
Please refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and observations made during the
inspection.
If you or your staff have any questions, comments, or need assistance, please contact me.

Permit: NCGO30203 Owner - Facility: Parker Hannifin Corp
Inspection Date: 11/05/2615 Inspection Type : Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
1. The site is very clean inside and out. The interior receives regular sweeping and wet mopping of all work areas, storage
of all liquids indoors, shipping is only final product which is boxed and packaged indoors. The only thing outside are a
dozen or so pallets and some wooden boxes for packaging,
2. We discussed the potential for a request for permit recission if pallets are stored under cover We do allow a No
Exposure permit with wooden pallet storage outside as long as they are brand new pallets. Any pallets stored outside
without cover that have been previously used for any purpose does not allow for a No Exposure permit. There is 2009
guidance under the 'No Exposure' tab on our Guidance Documents website at
http://portal.nodenr,org/group/ir/stormwater-guidance.
3. Per Chalem Pakala, a request to move the sampled outfall of 001 and 002 to the property perimeter was sent to Raleigh.
Mr. Pakala never got a response to this request, so it was assumed it was okay to do this and another outfall 001 was
established at the property boundary. It is recommeded that this outlafll be renumbered to 003 and designated in the
SWPPP as such. The original 001 outfaH is almost entirely highway runoff and this is where zinc levels have exceeded the
current benchmark.
4. Outfall 002 has condensate water from the coolers that may be affecting cooper levels a bit. Outfall 002 flows to the
new '003', which is a few hundred yards from 002 through the woods. It reportedly often doesn't have any flow, is hard to
sample due to the lack of flow, and will Iikley never have any benchmark hits. Check dams were installed in the flow path
to slow velocity and volume of flow.
5. There is a large sealed container on site for sludge from the extractor system. It is factory seated on all sides, including
the top. The container takes several months to fill and is then hauled to SC. Please provide further information such as: Is
this routine storage for extractor sludge storage systems? Is the sludge hazardous? Does "factory sealed" also mean
double -walled, or what does that mean? Does teh container meet the "bulk storage" threshold of 660 gallons or more?

Subject: RE: Request for Assistance for NCGO30203 - Copper and Zinc monitoring
Bethany,
I conducted an inspection on this site yesterday and want to check in with you on a couple of things.
1. The site is very clean inside and out. They do regular sweeping and wet mopping of all work areas, store all
liquids indoors, shipping is purely final product which is boxed and packaged indoors, The onlylthing outside are
a dozen or so pallets and some wooden boxes for packaging. These are all unused. Question: if all they have are
unused pallets stored outdoors for a week or so —does this require a SW permit? They are considering a

0
0
request for recission and are willing to put these under cover if that will allow them to rescind. I'm not clear
about storage of unused wooden pallets. .
So the answer here is that we do allow No Exposure with wooden pallet storage outside as long as they are
brand new pallets. So if that's what you mean by "unused," then the site can still qualify for an NCGNE. If
"unused" just means "not currently used to store stuff, but we don't know where they've been," then no. Check
out our 2009 guidance under the 'No Exposure' tab on our Guidance Docs website
http:&2ortol.ncdenr.org/ciroupZLrlstormwci.ter-g.u/*donce
2. They sent a request to move the sampled outfall of 001 and 002 to the property perimeter. Chalam Pakala says
he never got a response to this request so they assumed it was okay to do this — and they established another
outfall. They called it 001— but I suggested they renumber it to 003. 1 have no problem with this change and it
makes a lot more sense to me than the two previous outfalls. 001 is almost entirely highway runoff and this is
where they've had zinc levels over the .067. 1 saw pictures where this outfall is a small river and it's not coming
from their site. 002 has condensate water from their coolers affecting cooper levels a bit (but still under the
new Cu benchmark). 002 flows to the new 003. 003 is a few hundred yards from 002 through the woods. It
often doesn't have any flow, is hard to sample due to the lack of flow, and I'm guessing will never have any
benchmark hits. They also installed check dams in the flow path, which slows water flow. i agree this was a
good move on all counts and, depending on answer to 1#1 above — may allow them a recission.
A diagram or imagery overlay would probably help me. But it sounds like this is a reverse scenario of what we
usually encounter. Rather than having the permittee sample somewhere upstream of the actual property
discharge point where it's easier to get a sample because flow is more defined and easier to access, the benefit is
designating the point where the actual discharge collects. And 1 see why it makes more sense here.
l think 1 agree, although the -condensate water from their coolers gave me pause. Is that already covered under a
wastewater general permit? How much flow and how often? This is actually not too unusual to run into these
condensate streams that flow towards a stormwater outfdll, and truthfully it's not always a clean
anser. Theoretically, if it all commingles, discharge from 002 -> 003 = SW f WW = WW, but in reality... barely. It
sounds like 002 doesn't even make it that far and is too deminimus of a contribution to consider here. Do I
understand that right? it also sounds like they've moved their outfoll sampling to the most appropriate place
they can.
As you say, though, if the only thing stored outside is (1) brand new unused pallets and (2) a sealed container we
are okay with [see #3j, then they qualify for No Exposure and it doesn't really matter.
3. They have a large sealed container on site for sludge from their extractor system. It is factory sealed on all sides,
including the top. Since it is sealed, does it need to be under cover or in secondary containment. They said it
takes several months to fill and is then hauled to SC.
Hmm, I am not sure about this one. Is this routine storoge far extractor sludge storage systems? Is that sludge
hazardous? Does "factory sealed" also mean double -walled, or what does that mean? How big is the container
— does it meet the "bulk storage" threshold of660 gallons or more? If it's under that, then I don't think it
matters. If it's over that amount, I may have to investigate further.
I think that's it. Let me know if you have any questions.
And have a great weekend!

Asheville Regional Office Stormwater Colleagues,
We have been scanning in stormwater Permit DMRs into Laserfiche this year for easier RO access (more update on that
soon!), and Laura came across this piece of correspondence. We realized Mr. Roper was asking for direction on what to
do at this facility back in September. Could the ARO follow up with him on his concerns? It is possible that they already
contacted you all directly; I'm not sure. I've copied him on this email. I'm sorry we didn't identify this request and
forward it sooner.
Darlene, I've worked a good bit with you on similar requests about metals and possible roof influence on stormwater
levels. I don't recall this permit number in the mix of those, but you may already know about it. I've also copied others
in ARO that may be familiar with this site or assigned to help with this request.
Mr. Roper— I apologize that we overlooked your request and failed to respond more promptly. The best place to start
with this kind of monitoring question is with the Regional Office staff, so I'm reaching out to them for lead
assistance. We will also be glad to coordinate with ARO if questions come up.
Best regards,

December 4, 2013 Letter RE: Zinc for NCG030203
NCG030203_Zinc_Letter.pdf
Follow up
Flagged
Thank you for your letter asking for guidance about successive zinc stormwater benchmark exceedances at your site.
I see from the data submitted to NC DENR for the March 5, 2013 samples, zinc values were 0.157 mg/I and 0.127
mg/I. After the sample in September 2013 cited by your letter, two consecutive exceedances of zinc should have
prompted monthly monitoring per the Tier Two Response in the permit. Benchmark exceedances are NOT limit
violations or violations of permit conditions; however, the permittee is obligated to follow the Tiered Responses.
I presume the company has begun monthly sampling and continues to investigate causes as outlined in Tier
Two. Typically DEMLR (The Stormwater Permitting Program was moved over from DWQ—now DWR—into the Division
of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources in August) does not intervene until Tier Three, when the permittee must contact
the Regional Engineer in writing after any four benchmark exceedances at an outfall. Tier Three allows considerable
flexibility for NC DEMLR to revise monitoring (including a drop -back from the monthly frequency to semi-annual, if
warranted) or other requirements based on site -specific information and results of the permittee`s investigation into
likely causes and feasible solutions.
Your letter summarizes steps the facility has already taken to verify the sample and identify likely sources (galvanized
roof and runoff from neighboring properties/state roadway). This is exactly what the Tiers are intended to guide the
permittee to investigate, and we laud you for the care you have taken so far to follow-up on this issue. We prefer the
permittee to step through all the Tiers before contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer (RE) for further action, both as a
courtesy to their workload and to allow time for you to construct a sound case for any proposed remedies and/or
request to relieve monitoring. Should you request any earlier intervention (before four benchmark exceedances of one
paramter), the Regional Office has the discretion to agree to assess site conditions with a site visit and consider any
monitoring relief sooner. However, your facility will be considered in Tier Three status at that point. The Asheville
Regional Office handles your county, and the RE there is Laura Herbert.
I see your zinc concentration in the September sample was 0.0708 mg/I, only slightly above the benchmark in the permit
of 0.067 mg/I. I have two comments to offer for that circumstance:
41— These values are obviously variable, but did the company do anything since last sample to remove sources or treat
the stormwater before it is discharged? This could have made a positive difference, and it's something the regional
office inspector would ask first.
#2 — While new proposed NC water quality standards.for dissolved metals have not been finalized, newer methodology
that mirrors the basis for those standards (and national criteria) will increase our Zn benchmark in future permits to
0,126 mg/l. That value is based on more up-to-date science about the amount of metal that is bioavailable and causes
aquatic toxicity. We can't re -open the general permit just now to change the current Zn benchmark, but NC DEMLR
regional staff will also take that into consideration when evaluating the concentrations and your site specific conditions.

Thank you again for reaching out about your sample results and request for guidance on your next steps. 1 have copied
ARO staff on this e-mail, but I'm not requesting any further action on their part, except by your direct contact.

Re: NPDES Stormwater Sampling Test Results — Surprise Presence of Zinc
Parker Hannifin Corp.
203 Pine Street
Forest City, Rutherford County, North Carolina 28043
Dear Ms. Georgoulias:
Parker Hannifin Corp. (Parker Hannifin) located at 203 Pine Street, Forest City,
Rutherford County, North Carolina, is pleased to submit the attached stormwater
sampling results for our facility to meet the NPDES General Permit (COC NCG030203)
stormwater sampling requirements. Parker Hannifin sampled two outfalls at the site
On September 25, 2013 as per the NPDES General Permit Requirements (Year 1,
Period 2: July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013). The two stormwater samples were
analyzed for parameters listed in Section B Table 1 (pH, Total Suspended Solids, Non -
Polar Oil & Grease, Copper, Total Recoverable Lead, and Total Recoverable Zinc).
Total Toxic Organic Compounds (TTO) was not analyzed since the facility is not
categorized as a metal finishing operation. The rainfall amounts were measured during
the rain event and recorded as required.
Based on the sampling results at Moth outfall locations (Outfall-1 and Outfall-2), Total
Suspended Solids, Oil & Grease, Copper, and Lead analytical results were below the
Benchmark Values presented in Section B, Table 3 of the Stormwater General Permit.
However, pH was below the Benchmark values at both outfalls. Also, on Outfall-1, Zinc
was slightly above the .067 Benchmark. The lab results for Zinc on Outfall-1 were
.0708. 1 contacted Pace Analytical, and was told we should use our pH values, and that
their "results were invalid for the Stormwater program." I also requested they rerun the
sample to test for any errors on the Zinc from Outfall-1. After numerous phone calls
and emails, I received the following information: "We pulled the raw data, batch

information, and reviewed the QC information on the run. We could not find any
dilution, transcription, or any other errors within this batch of data. With the information
we saw from this data review, we believe the data is correct. Sample has been purged,
reanalysis not possible. Sample digestate was rerun due to an unrelated QC failure
(Na) on 1016/13 giving a Zn result of 71.37 ug/L. This confirms the original result with an
RPD of <1 %."
After Year 1, Period 1: sampling resulted in Zinc levels above the Benchmark values, I
and Mr, Chalam Pakala, Professional Engineer with CPEES conducted a site visit on
March 25, 2013 and reviewed the facility operations, materials stored in the yard and
the BMPs implemented at the site. Based on the site review, Parker Hannifin believed
that no Zinc contributing materials were exposed to stormwater in the yard and thus,
were puzzled to see the presence of Zinc in the stormwater analytical results above the
benchmark values. However, on a closer examination of the facility structures and the
stormwater drainage into the outfalls, the following potential causes were identified
during the site visit:
1. During the rainfall event, Parker Hannifin receives stormwater from the
neighboring facilities and the state highway water on to the property and
eventually into the facility outfalls; and
2. The facility roof is constructed with galvanized steel.
In the previous sampling period, we requested the State DVVQ NOT put us in
any Tiered program till the evaluation was completed. We did find some elevated levels
of zinc coming from the galvanized roof, but have been unable to obtain samples from
the state highway and neighboring facilities_ This is due to the rushing water, which
presents a safety hazard.
Since the current stormwater samples resulted in a slightly elevated zinc level at Outfall-
1, we feel this is coming from the state highway and/or other facilities. This outfall is fed
by the storm drain that receives runoff from those properties. Could you please
respond to this report and advise what your recommendations are for moving forward.
Please call me at 828-248-4495, or email me at'roper [e-mail] to help better
understand the issue. Ultimately, our goal is to do the correct thing in keeping our
environment safe for employees, neighbors and everyone.

PART I - INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
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 N01 shall be
submitted and acertificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater
associated with industrial activity 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 Exclusion
must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (N01) form W 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 recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum
Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater 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 1.80 days prior to the dxpiration.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 per�nittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development)
and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site OvervieW, as outlined in the*Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan, Part 11, Section A.
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

Permit No. NCG030000
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES:
Until coverage under this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to
discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina, or to a separate storm sewer system, .
which has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this General Permit.
Any other point. source. discharge.to. surface. waters ofthe state is prohibited unless it is.an
allowable non=stormwater discharge. or is covered -by another permit, authorization, or approval.
The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of
Water Quality Standards.
Discharges authorized by this permit and site.opeeations must meet applicable wetland standards,
as recorded in 15A NCAC 213.0230 and .0231., and water quality certification requirements as
outlined in 15A NCAC 21i .0500.
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.

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, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the 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 includingpetrolcum products: storage jg any
amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization A
(SARA) water priority chemicals: and storage in any amount of hagardoU5 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.
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 (5) years.
Cc) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices
(BMPs) 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 stormwater discharges and on 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 Summary shall be .
reviewed'and updated annually. - . - . .
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures
(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.

and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage
areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program
:shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of
stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems
that present a potentiaLfor stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already
addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and
regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. 'Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping
shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
5. 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 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 than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from,
and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required
in Part 11 B, C, and D of this permit.
6. 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. 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.
7. -Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific person(s) or position(s) responsible for
the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision -of the SPPP.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments
provided. -
• 8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there
is a change.in design, construction; operation, site drainage, maintenance; or configuration of
the physical. features which may have a significant effect owthe 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:

Egotnotes:
1 Maintain semi-annual analytical monitoring throughout the. permit renewal process (unless other
provisions of this permit prompt monthly sampling):
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No" F16v/' or "No Discharge`within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly
monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall or
inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period, for.
example does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. The benchmark
values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the implementation of the,
permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of the
values require
the permittee to increase monitoring, increase an
actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions
of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions. In the event that DWQ releases the permittee
from continued monthly monitoring under Tier Three, DWQ's release letter remains in effect through
the subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or
duration.

SECTION D: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS.
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the permittee's
implementation of the SPPP and to assess new sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative
monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be -performed during a measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified.
in Table 6 and concurrent with the required analytical monitoring events.(unless the permittee is
required to perform further qualitative sampling per the Qualitative Monitoring Response,
below). Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP.
Only SDOs discharging,stormwater associated with.industriol activity must be monitored (See

Technical Bulletin for NCG030000 and NCG090OW Last Revised 10/25/2012
What is reaulated by these two General Permits?
These two General Permits reeulate stormwater d stha!rxes from two groups of industrial manufacturing ac-
tivities:
✓ NCG030000 (NCG03•) for.metal fabrication and metal finishing businesses
✓NCG090000 (NCG09) for the manufacture of.paints, varnishes, and allied products
What does my hermit reauire me to do?
-'Develop and implement a written Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) (Part 11, Section A).
,,'Provide secondary containment'for bulk storage of liquid materials (Part 11, Section A).
✓Conduct semi-annual self -monitoring of the pollutant content in stormwater discharges, and report the results to
DWQ (Part 11, Sections i9 and Cj.
✓Conduct semi-annual visual inspections of stormwater pollutant sources, control measures, conveyances, and out -
falls (Port 11, Sections A andD).
-I Respond to monitoring results that exceed the numerical benchmarks with management actions to reduce the
level of pollutants in the stormwater discharges. The numerical benchmarks are considered as 'action levels.'
Why?
✓The two General Permits seek to reduce industrial pollution in rainfall runoff from manufacturing businesses by
requiring site managers to be aware of, and control, the potential for polluted runoff.
✓ Federal and state laws and regulations require the control of industrial pollution in stormwater runoff.
✓Those laws and regulations reflect the public's support for providing for.clean natural waters in our state and
nation.
What has chanced since the last renewals in 2007?
. The required content of the'SPPP has been expanded slightly and clarified.in minor ways in several paragraphs.
, The perrnittee may now sample discharges from any measureable storm event, rather than from a representative
event. This change should make it easier to obtain a sample from a qualifying rain event.
• The permit text now clarifies that failure to sample due to adverse weather, or due to no discharge during the nor-
mal monitoring period, may be excused. However, the permits now require additional monthly monitoring for.un-
excused fallures to monitor.
• Vehicle Maintenance Areas (VMA) shall be monitored for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons.(TPH) rather than Oil &
Grease (D&G).
• VMA monitoring is now triggered by the total oil usage for motor oil plus hydraulic oil.. The trigger. remains at a total
of 55 gallons' per month, average,
. A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/L applies for discharges to especially protected water classifications.
Sloofflcont changes s ci c to th i ere General Perm
, For NCG03: Analytical monitoring for copper and zinc have been added to allow more facilities to qualify for cover-
age under this General Permit.
, For NCG09: Monitoring results must be reported in mg/L rather than ug/L; monitoring results may not be reported
as `non -detect', or.'below detection limit', or other similar notations, but instead must indicate the numerical value
of the reporting or detection Iimit of the test procedure employed.

Forest City, NC 28043
Subject: Activities and Products
This location manufactures both Industrial and Mobile Hydraulic Valves for various markets including
but not limited to the construction, mining, agricultural and the machine tool markets. The core
components of the hydraulic valve are the body, spools that fit in the bores of the body and various
components assembled to the body. We are primarily a machining, assembly, test and shipping facility
with some secondary machining operations, wash processes and a black zinc phosphating process.
Machining operations include milling, horizontal and vertical drilling, turning and honing to produce the
body of the valve. The machined bodies are made of gray cast and ductile iron. Once machined these
bodies are washed and cleaned and then subjected to a black zinc coating. At this point the valve bodies
would go to assembly where various configurations come out of the assembly process. A wide variety of
components, including small valve bodies, coils, tubes, spools and etc. are assembled (attached and/or
installed) to the body to complete a valve. Valve assemblies are functionally tested 100% at max
pressures of 5,000 PSI with oil temperatures ranging from 100 —115 degrees Fahrenheit. Product is
then boxed and shipped to various customers on a global scale.
In addition we are actively involved in recycling oils, coolants and landfill waste.

Parker Hannifin Corp. (Parker Hannifin) located at 203 Pine Street, Forest City, Rutherford County, North
Carolina, was unable to collect a sample in the months July and August, due to not having a qualifying
rainfall event that occurred during normal business hours, or that was safe to collect. Please see the
picture that details no flow from our outfail after .3' of rain. This was over a period of 28 minutes.

levels for Copper and Zinc (Old benchmark Copper = 0.007 mg/L. Zinc = 0.067mg/L) for NCG030000 had
been raised to NEW levels: Copper = 0,010 mg/L, Zinc = O,126mg/L. We were also told that if the
exceedances in the stormwater above the benchmark levels for Copper and Zinc were determined to be
