STORMWATER MANAGEMENT NARRATIVE FOR
COMMUNITY SOLAR AND ENERGY STORAGE PROJECT
FAYETTEVILLE PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSION (PWC)
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NC
August 2o18
Proiect Description
Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) is constructing a utility -scale renewable energy
generation and energy storage system at PWC's Butler -Warner Generation Plant. The system
will consist of solarvoltaic array and lithium -ion battery bank, wiring, inverters and control. The
project will be located on a 20.68 acres property located on Custer Avenue (SR 1723) in
Cumberland County. The properly is split with 3.21 acres (that will remain undisturbed) on the
north side of Custer Avenue and 17.47 on the south side where the project is located. The project
will demolish existing trees, remove an existing access road, fine grade, grass, landscape and
provide a 12' wide gravel access drive, one (1) gravel parking space, a switch yard, solar panels
with underground foundations and chain -link fence surrounding the solar panels with two
vehicular gates. The disturbed area is 6.8 acres.
The existing 15 inch RCP pipe located will remain in place with 16 linear feet on the upstream
end being removed. The chain -link fence is setback 20 feet from side property lines and top of
banks, and 50 feet off of the right-of-way for Custer Avenue. No solar panels will be any closer
to chain link fence than 20 feet.
Existing Site Conditions
The existing site consists of grass area with trees, drop inlets and storm pipes, power poles, and
an existing gravel access drive around the site (18' to 24' wide). The disturbed are of the
property is bound by Custer Avenue on the north, the existing Butler -Warner Generation Plant
on the east, residential to the west, and a pond and CSX railroad on the south.
The project site is north of Locks Creek. The creek is located in the Cape Fear River basin. The
stream classification of Locks Creek at this location is C.
Using the USGS topographic map indicate there is a blue line stream on the property to the east
and south of the site. We are including the USGS map from the usgs.gov website for reference
purposes. We also included the NC Stream Classification map and the USDA Web Soil Survey
Map for reference.
The project is located in Flood Zone — 2% Annual Chance Flood Hazard on FIRM Map no.
3720045900J, panel effective date 1/5/2007.
Three small areas of wetlands were identified on the site, (1186 sf,1450 sf and 6417 sf). The
project falls under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 51— Land -Based Renewable Energy Generation
Facility with Statutory Authority 10/404 which authorizes construction of land -based renewable
energy production facilities and the area is under the Pre -Construction Notification (PCN)
Threshold of o.10 acres (4,356 sf). This project will disturb 2636 sf (0.06 acres) of wetlands.

Soils Characteristics
The soils in the area of construction are classified as AaA (Altavista fine sandy loam, 0 to 3
percent slopes, rarely flooded, Southern Coastal Plain), Ro (Roanoke and Warne soils, 0 to 2
percent slopes, occasionally flooded) and WmB (Wickham fine sandy loam, 1 to 6 percent
slopes, rarely flooded) and according to the Soil Survey of Cumberland County, North Carolina
conducted by USDA Soil Conservation Service. A soils map and description of the soils is
provided in this report.
Stormwater Management
The project is located within the Cape Fear River Basin. Total disturbed area of the project is
6.8 acres. The project will not increase the impervious area on the site. The amount of
impervious will be approximately the same. The area will be graded and grassed and the existing
gravel access road will be removed and a new 12' gravel drive will be provided with one 9' X 20'
gravel parking space at the switch yard. The solar panels will have driven posts with minimal
surface area. The existing drainage patterns will remain unchanged from the existing site and
the flow will not be increased. The storm drainage system with three (3) grate inlets will remain
and undisturbed. The existing 15" RCP will have 16 LF removed on the upstream end but the
slope and outlet will remain the same. Erosion control protection will be provided.
Stormwater management will consist of sheet flow (dispersed flow) across the vegetated ground.
An existing pond is located on the site and the property flows toward this pond. The pond
outlets under the railroad tracks. Locks Creek is located to the south of the property and the
stream classification is C. This pond is permitted under NPDES permit #NCS000369 and is
included in this submittal. The existing impervious is 2% and the proposed impervious of the
site is 2% and remains less than the 24% threshold for Low Density.

V. SWALE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Mowing will be accomplished as needed according to the season. Grass height will not exceed six inches at
any time; and grass will not be mowed too close to the ground or "scalped".
2. Swales will be inspected monthly or after every runoff producing rainfall event for sediment build-up,
erosion, and trash accumulation.
3. Accumulated sediment and trash will be removed as necessary. Swales will be reseeded or sodded
following sediment removal.
4. Eroded areas of the swales will be repaired and reseeded. Swales will be revegetated as needed and in a
timely manner based on the monthly inspections. Side slopes must be maintained at the permitted slope.
5. Catch basins, curb cuts, velocity reduction devices, and piping will be inspected monthly or after every
significant runoff producing rainfall event. Trash and debris will be cleared away from grates, curb cuts,
velocity reduction devices and piping.
6. Swales will not be altered, piped, or filled in without approval from NCDENR Division of Energy, Mineral
and Land Resources.
I acknowledge and agree by my signature below that I am responsible for the performance of the six
maintenance procedures listed above. I agree to notify DEMLR of any problems with the system or prior to any
changes to the system or responsible party.

Good Afternoon Pam,
The following are our preliminary recommendations for the gravel access road
- A woven geo-textile (equivalent to Mirafi 500X) should be placed over approved subgrade prior to
placement of the gravel surface.
- For light maintenance vehicle traffic, a minimum of 8" ABC stone is recommended.
Our geotechnical engineering report will include more detailed recommendations
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thanks
Mohammad

Ti m,
Sorry for the late reply. Is it possible to send any plan which shows the location of the proposed gravel road and any
other information available for that road.
Thanks

See my responses below. The gravel road is mainly for access for maintenance. It's not a thru-way which will be traveled
by anyone except those entering the area of the PV array to do work. In case of emergency, fire trucks may have to
access the area, but that is not expected.

Good Afternoon Pam,
We can provide preliminary recommendation for gravel road. Can you please answer following questions:
How many vehicles both in and out each day? —After system is completed, maybe one vehicle per day
What type of vehicles (tractor trailers, box trucks, etc.)? — Pickup truck
Of the total vehicles you get how many percentage are loaded vs. unloaded (half)? - Vast majority will be
unloaded.
We performed 6 borings at this project site. Attached is a boring location plan and following are stabilized groundwater
level after 24 hours of drilling completion:
B-1 3.7'
B-2 6.1'
B-3 3.5'
B-4 2.2'
B-5 1.1'
B-6 1.6'
We have not performed seasonal high water table or infiltration test at this site.
Please let me know if there is any question.
Thanks
Mohammad

Good afternoon! Based on the subsoil investigation that your company performed at the PWC site off Custer Avenue,
do you have any preliminary recommendations for the gravel access road? Did you hit water in any of the bores or do
you have an seasonal high water or infiltration rate? We are not doing any kind of stormwater device, but am interested
in water level.
Thanks, Pam k

I'm copying Pam on this email to get her input. Pam, in summary F&R needs input from RBI (the racking company)
before they finalize their geotechnical report, and we're wrangling with RBI over contract terms right now. However,
F&R can provide some information if there are specifics you need. Can you let Mohammad know exactly what you need,
and let's see if that information is available?

Hi Mohammad,
We are still waiting on direction on the project so there is still plenty of time to get us the report.
I have reached out to the racking provider to determine if they provide the structural design of the piles, which will most
likely be driven I -beams.
Tim, can you send the storage system weight and size to Mohammad?
Let me know if there are any additional questions.

Most of the system design is on hold right now, as we're waiting for a decision from the client regarding whether they
want fixed -tilt or tracking. I'll follow up with them today and let you know. Thanks.

Also, we were wondering if the site grading plan, solar panel detail, storage building loading and proposed foundation

Permit No. NCS000369
PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: INDIVIDUAL PERMIT COVERAGE
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.
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 (NOI) form to
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.
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system that
has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this permit. All stormwater discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this
permit.
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. The stormwater discharges allowed by this permit shall not cause or contribute
to violations of Water Quality Standards.
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

PART 11 MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by
the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that maybe expected to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview 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 stormwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site 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 storage of materials, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); 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); and impervious surfaces. The site map must
indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map
must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years
and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
Part II Page 1 of 11
Permit No. NCS0o0'369
(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 III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall
contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which
control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including
structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, 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, 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; 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). 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. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary
containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by
amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment
and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface
waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily
as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
Part II Page 2 of 11
Permit No. NCS000369
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
increased 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 address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater .
discharge outfalls, all on -site 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 potential
for 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.
S. 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 asemi-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 II 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
Part II Page 3 of 11
Permit No. NCS000369
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 position or positions 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 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 no spills have occurred (element of the Site
Overview);
(b) awritten re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for
the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater
BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response
status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's website (See: https:/Ideg.nc.gov/aboutldivisions/energy-minera
resources Inndes-stormwater-individual.
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 III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants entering 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 of actions taken to implement
BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities.
Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon
request.

Permit No. NCS000369
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter
interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee
obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions.

Footnotes:
1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly
sampling) during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until
this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three
response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed. Drawing down the level of water in the onsite pond via
manual release in preparation for a large storm event such as a hurricane or in preparation for
maintenance is allowed in order to preserve pond integrity. In this case analytical sampling must be done
within the first 30 minutes of manual discharge.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading
may be substituted for an on -site reading.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule
specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection
(see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's
normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
Part II Page 5 of 11
Permit No. NCS000369
in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part III, Section E). However, for purposes
of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the
analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

Footnotes:
1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
3 Monitoring periods remain consistent through the permit term and through the renewal process.
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 during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase
management 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 below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's
release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the
release letter provides for other conditions or duration.
Table 3. Benchmark Values for Analytical Monitorin
Part II Page 6 of 11
Permit No. NCS000369
The benchmark values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for implementation of the
permittee's SPPP. An exceedance. of a stormwater benchmark value is not a permit violation; however,
failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this permit is a violation of permit conditions.
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at
any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical improvements
to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations within the benchmark
range.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection.
S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedence,
the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions
were implemented.
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.
If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no discharge) are
above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge
outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly
monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.
Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the
benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the option of
contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the
response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced or additional sampling
parameters or frequency.
S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process.
Part II Page 7 of 11
Permit No. NCS000369
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential 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
during required analytical monitoring'events (unless the permittee is required to perform
further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability
to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and
recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions).
Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored
(See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee
shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to
the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

(SDO) regardless of representative outfall status.
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has
been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
Part II Page 8 of 11
Permit No. NCS000369
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are
ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement
those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, onse, below.
A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be
kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new
potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If
the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, or- if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the
Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some
or all parameters (analytical or qualitative)
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.
SECTION D: SPECIAL CONDITIONS
ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]

RE: Wetland Investigation/Community Solar and Energy Storage Project
Dear Ms. Miller,
On July 10, 2018, Dewberry Engineers Inc. (Dewberry) conducted a wetland and Waters of the U.S. (WOUS)
investigation at the existing Public Works Commission (PWC) Butler -Warner Generation Plant at 2274
Custer Avenue, Fayetteville, North Carolina. Approximately 6.8 acres of parcel #0458-09-0890 was
investigated for wetland and Waters of the U.S. (WOUS).
The project is located in Cumberland County, North Carolina, within the PWC Generation Plant compound,
north of the existing pond. Figure i provides an aerial view of the investigation area.
DELINEATION FINDINGS
The methods used to identify jurisdictional WOUS, including wetlands, were those set forth in the 1987
USACE Wetland Delineation Manual (Y-87-I) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (ERDC/EL TR-10-20). Prior to the
site visit, Dewberry conducted an online investigation of the property reviewing federal and state databases
that provide information regarding the site characteristics of the subject property. During the site visit,
Dewberry traversed the project area identifying wetland and WOUS. Where appropriate, field staff collected
and recorded soil profiles, observed and recorded the vegetation and hydrology of each wetland type.
Wetlands located within project area were flagged in the field with survey ribbon.
The USGS Vander, North Carolina 2016 quadrangle map was initially used to decipher information on
topography and stream channels prior to the site visit and is provided as Figure 2. The USGS topographic
map shows the site as consisting of undeveloped property.
The National Wetland Inventory (NWI) map was generated from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Wetland
Mapper and is provided as Figure 3. The NWI map was used to help identify mapped wetlands prior to
the site visit. The online NWI map indicated a WOUS and open water onsite. The field delineation revealed
the presence of wetlands within the project boundary. Table i provides a summary of the wetlands
identified. Refer to Appendix B for a detailed description of the wetland areas.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey for Cumberland County was used as a
resource to assist with identifying and classifying soil types present at the site prior to the site visit and is
included as Figure 4. The digital Soil Survey Map labels the soil on -site within the project area as:
• (AaA) Altavista fine sandy loam, 0-3% slopes, rarely flooded, Southern Coastal Plain
• (Ro) Roanoke and Warne soils, 0-2% slopes, occasionally flooded
• (WmB) Wickham fine sandy loam,1-6% slopes, rarely flooded
Of the above listed soils, Roanoke and Warne soils and Wickham fine sandy loam are listed as hydric in
Cumberland County, North Carolina.
The delineated wetland boundaries were located with a Trimble GPS and are shown on the wetland exhibit
included as Appendix A of this letter. Wetland determination data forms are provided as Appendix B.
Photographs of the site are provided as Appendix C.
