Dear Mr. Parkulo:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under NPDES stormwater permit
NCS000321, the Division of Water Quality (Division) is forwarding herewith the subject state - NPDES
permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215 .1
and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection
agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
Please note that the Division has revised the analytical monitoring strategy for individual
stormwater permits. Based on a review of the permit monitoring data received to date, the analytical
monitoring measurement frequencies have been changed and cut-off concentrations have been removed.
These changes will be implemented for all second term individual stormwater permits with analytical
monitoring requirements. For those permits with analytical monitoring requirements, Part II -
Monitoring, Controls, and Limitations for Permitted Discharges has been modified to reflect the change
in monitoring strategy.
The qualitative monitoring strategy remains the same as the first term of the permit. Please note
that the semi-annual qualitative monitoring is a requirement of the permit. Failure to complete the
monitoring as required is a violation of the permit and any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation
of the Clean Water Act. Reference Part III, Section A, Item 2 "Duty to Comply", Item 9 "Penalties for
Tampering " and Item 10 'Penalties for Falsification of Reports" of your permit for further information.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7447. Unless such demand is
made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part III, B.2. addresses the requirements to be
followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required
by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area
Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a
minimum, the following items:
1. Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources which 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 water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s)discharges, 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 point(s) of discharge.
(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.
(c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas,process areas
and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each
outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area,building locations, existing
BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants
which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill
impacts.
(e) Certification 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 Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
Part II Page 1 of 6

Permit No.NCS000321
nonstructural measures. 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 stormwater. 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 the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment
for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority
chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from
contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems,the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be
secured 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 the material stored within the containment area. 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 narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities
of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
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 (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. 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, a SPCC plan 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 program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment
Part II Page 2 of 6

Permit No.NCS000321
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
5. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and
preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel
(or team)responsible for implementing the training shall be identified.
6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s)responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall

Dear Permittee:
The Division of Environmental Management has recently evaluated all existing individual permits for potential
coverage under general permits currently issued by the Division. 15A N.C.A.C.2H .0127 allows the Division to
evaluate groups of permits having similar discharge activities for coverage under general permits and issue
coverage where the Division finds control of the discharges more appropriate in this manner. The Division has
determined that the subject discharge qualifies for such coverage. Therefore, the Division is hereby issuing the
subject Certificate of Coverage under the state-NPDES general permit no. NCG500000 which shall void NPDES
Permit NC0049824. This Certificate of Coverage is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina and the
US Environmental Protection Agency Memorandum of Agreement dated December 6,1983 and as subsequently
amended.
If any parts,measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this general permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to submit an individual permit application,associated processing fee and letter requesting
coverage under an individual permit. Unless such demand is made,this decision shall be final and binding. Please
take notice this Certificate of Coverage is not transferable. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be followed
in case of change of ownership or control of this discharge.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the
Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this Division, such as the
construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities. Construction of any
wastewater treatment facilities will require issuance of an Authorization to Construct from this Division.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Certificate of Coverage and respective general permit may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in accordance with
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C. Please note that the general permit does require
monitoring in accordance with federal law. The monitoring data is not required to be submitted to the Division
unless specifically requested,however, the permittee is required to maintain all records for a period of at least
three (3) years.

The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. DEM or Division
Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health
and Natural Resources.
3. EMC

a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during the calendar week(Sunday- Saturday)on which daily
discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found
by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this
sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as
"Weekly Average"in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged
during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight
of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is
identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.

Part II

d. The"average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured,divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average"
in Part I of the permit.
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average
monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for
samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" under"Other Units" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
week(Sunday/Saturday)on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided
by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week
(arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is
equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that
calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric
mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is
identified as "Weekly Average" under"Other Units" in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration
of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified
as "Daily Maximum" under"Other Units" in Part I of the permit.
d. The"average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average
yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples
collected during a calendar year.
e. The"daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen)is the minimum allowable
amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge
averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a
calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the
discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.

Part II
Page 3 of 14
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a
calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I
of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March,April through June, July through September,and October through December.
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows
recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of
sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility
which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the
facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when
there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection,or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the
time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing
the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be
determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval
between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily
flow at the treatment system,or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional
to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be
no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall
be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a
detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be
collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in
number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in
no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6)
hours nor the number of samples less than four(4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.

Part II
Page 4 of 14
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the
product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values.
The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms
of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of
zero(0) shall be considered to be one(1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective
flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that
reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant
to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the Clean Water

2. Proper Operation and Maintenance
The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of
treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the
permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and
maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance
procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or
similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to
achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit.
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
condition of this permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a
treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or
established or operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage
to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial
and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur
in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss
caused by delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations
to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient
operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of
this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass
as required in Part II,E. 6. of this permit. (24-hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action
against a permittee for bypass, unless:
(a) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe
property damage;

Part II
Page 9 of 14
(b) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate
backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable
engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal
periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(c) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering
its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the
three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and
temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of
factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error,improperly designed treatment
facilities,inadequate treatment facilities,lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or
improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for
noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the
requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during
administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an
action for noncompliance,is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence
that:
(a) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s)of the upset;
(b) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(c) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of
this permit.
(d) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II,B. 2.of
this permit.

manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the
State or navigable waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing
federal regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40
CH(Part 503, any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the disposal of sludge
may be reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable
requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part
503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the
time provided in the regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the
requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant
change in its sludge use or disposal practices.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM
Regulation, Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124
Reliability, to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during
electrical power failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or
retention of inadequately treated effluent.
SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS
1. Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the
volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than
daily shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire
period which the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points
specified in this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is
diluted by any other wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall
not be changed without notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority.
