- iviontmy sampling (instead of semi-annual) must begin with the second consecutive benchmark exceedance for the same parameter at the same outfall.
'For sampling periods with no discharge at any single outfall, you must still submit this discharge monitoring report with a checkmark here.
3The total precipitation must be recorded using data from an on -site rain gauge. Unattended sites may be eligible for a waiver of the rain gauge requirement.
4 See General Permit, Table 3 identifying the especially sensitive receiving water classifications where the more protective benchmark applies.
5 Total Toxic Organics sampling is applicable only for those facilities which perform metal finishing operations, manufacture semiconductors, manufacture
electronic crystals, or manufacture cathode ray tubes. For purposes of this permit the definition of Total Toxic Organics is that definition contained in the EPA
Effluent Guidelines for the facility subject to the requirement to sample (for metal finishing use the definition as found in 40 CFR 433.11; for semiconductor
manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.12; for electronic crystal manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.22; and for cathode ray
tube manufacture use the definition found in 40 CFR 469.31).

Facilitir at incorporate a solvent management plan into the Stormwater ution Prevention Plan may so certify, and the requirement for Tl ionitoring
may be waived. The solvent management plan shall include a list of the total toxic organic compounds used and the other elements listed in the General
Permit. For those facilities electing to employ the TTO monitoring waiver, the discharger shall sign the following certification statement:
"Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit monitoring requirement for total toxic organics
(TTO), I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, no dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the stormwater or areas which are exposed to rainfall or
stormwater runoff has occurred since filing the last discharge monitoring report. I further certify that this facility is implementing the all the provisions of the
solvent management plan included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan."

Please verify whether Qualitative Monitoring must be performed during a "representative storm
event" or "measureable storm event" (requirements vary, depending on the permit).
Qualitative monitoring requirements vary. Most permits require qualitative monitoring to be
performed during a "representative storm event" or during a "measureable storm event." However,
some permits do not have this requirement. Please refer to these definitions, if applicable.
A "representative storm event' is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours (3 days) in which no storm event measuring greater than
0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation.
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 DWQ Regional Office.
By this signature, 1 certify that this report is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge:

Dear Sir or Madam:
In accordance with General Permit Part II Section B, enclosed please find duplicate signed copies of Railroad Friction Products (RFPC) Storm water
Discharge Outfall Monitoring Report. This report summarizes analytical monitoring of the site's single outfall and covers the period of July 1, 2020
through December 31, 2020. Below are three issues RFPC wants to make DWQ aware of.
1. The concentration for zinc was below listed benchmark value of 0.126 mg/L. During previous sampling periods zinc sampled values were
higher that the listed zinc benchmark range. The sampling value for second half 2020 was 0.035 mg/L. The sampling value for first half
2020 was 0.156 mg/L. In a letter issued from NCDEQ to RFPC dated May 25, 2018, RFPC was granted regulatory relief in the form of a
collapsed Tier2-Tier 3 response, and RFPC may resume the permitted specified semi-annual analytical monitoring at our facility. Based on
the regulatory relief granted in the May 25, 2018 letter, RFPC stopped monthly zinc monitoring.
Previous semi-annual DMR at our SDO results are shown below.
November 2013: 1.200 mg/L
April 2014: 0.390 mg/L
September 2014: 0.130 mg/L
October 2014: 0.086 mg/L
November 2014: 0.350 mg/L
January 2015: 0.050 mg/L
November 2015: 0.129 mg/L
March 2016: 0.144 mg/L
December 2016: 0.181 mg/L
May 2017: 0.169 mg/L
March 2018: 0.108 mg/L
December 2018: 0.249 mg/L
February 2019: 0.144 mg/L

December 2019: 0.333 mg/L
January 2020: 0.156 mg/L
2. The concentration for copper is again below the listed benchmark value of 0.010 mg/L. For first half 2020 sampling period, the copper
sampled value was <0.010 mg/L, which is lower than the benchmark value. Tier 1 requirements are not triggered at this time. In letter
issued from NCDEQ to RFPC dated May 25, 2018, RFPC was granted regulatory relief for copper in the form of a collapsed Tier2-Tier 3
response, which means RFPC can continue the permitted specified semi-annual analytical monitoring at our facility if Tier II status is
obtained (which did not occur since 2"d half 2020 copper sampling value does not exceed benchmark value). Thus, RFPC remains at Tier
I status, and does not require monthly monitoring for copper.
Previous semi-annual DMR at our SDO results are shown below.
February 2013: BDL <0.020 mg/L
November 2013: 0.025 mg/L
April 2014: BDL <0.020 mg/L
September 2014: BDL <0.020 mg/L
October 2014: BDL <0.020 mg/L
November 2014: BDL <0.020 mg/L
January 2015: BDL <0.020 mg/L
November 2015: BDL <0.010 mg/L
March 2016: BDL <0.010 mg/L
December 2016: BDL <0.010 mg/L
May 2017: BDL <0.0148 mg/L
March 2018: 0.0154 mg/L
December 2018: <0.01mg/L
February 2019: <0.01mg/L
December 2019: 0.014 mg/L
January 2020: <0.010 mg/L
3. Sampled PH value was 7.52, which is within benchmark values. The PH value in first half 2020 was 6.86 —within benchmark values.
