Inspection Summary:
Lyn Hardison had taken a call and delivered the facility's file to me.
Chris Barnes [phone] had recently taken over the responsibility of this NPDES SW permit and had questions about
permit renewal and sampling requirements. We discuss the website where the most up to date information is located. The
new cover page of the permit was updated on 11/16/17 extending the previous permit thru 10/31/17. From the text Mr.
Barnes found the sampling period dates and requirements. I instructed him to add our discussion to the SPPP plan and we
briefly discussed training and other requirements of the plan. I gave my direct number and guided him to contact me freely
with questions.

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG030000. This permit expires
on August 31, 2002. The Division staff is currently in the process of rewriting this permit and is scheduled to have
the permit reissued by late summer of 2002. Once the permit is reissued, your facility would be eligible for
continued coverage under the reissued permit.
In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in
advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a General Permit Coverage Renewal
Application Form. The application must be completed and returned by March 4, 2002 in order to assure continued
coverage under the general permit.
Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility
without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and
could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
Please note that recent federal legislation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of industrial
facilities in any of the 11 categories of "storm water discharges associated with industrial activity," (except
construction activities). If you feel your facility can certify a condition of "no exposure", i.e. the facilty industrial
materials and operations are not exposed to stormwater, you can apply for the no exposure exclusion. For additional
information contact the Central Office Stormwater Staff member listed below or check the Stormwater & General
Permits Unit Web Site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.html
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed
Rescission Request Form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the
rescission process has been completed.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Robert Tankard of the
Washington Regional Office at 252-946-6481 or Bill Mills of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at (919)

SITE INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES AND POTENTIAL POLLUTION SOURCES
3.1 DESCRIPTION OF FACILITY ACTIVITIES
FCI is a rail car maintenance and modification facility (SIC
Code 3743) which is engaged in cleaning and repair operations.
3.2 MATERIAL HANDLING PRACTICES AND SIGNIFICANT MATERIALS EXPOSED
TO STORM WATER
Miscellaneous scrap metal and equipment are, at times, stored
throughout the yard area and are exposed to storm water.
Containers of paints, solvents, hydraulic oil, motor oil,
chemicals, and empty containers are stored indoors and are not
exposed to storm water. Waste bins containing scrap wooden pallets,
scrap cardboard boxes, and miscellaneous scraps are exposed to
storm water prior to sanitary landfill disposal. Grinding and
sandblasting dust is collected in a fabric filter device, and the
device is exposed to storm water. The filtered material is
collected and disposed of off -site. The yard area is grass,
compacted soil, and gravel. Exposed portions of the buildings are
made of galvanized metal roofing, painted metal, masonry, and wood.
3.3 SURVEY OF NON -STORM WATER DISCHARGES
During April, 1993, Mr. Charles Adams, Frit Car, Inc.,
visually surveyed the facility. A facility boundary map was
compared to existing on -site conditions and facility processes. No
undocumented discharges are believed present.
3.4 SIGNIFICANT LEAKS AND SPILLS
No known reportable leaks or spills have occurred at this
facility.
3.5 POTENTIAL SOURCES OF SUSPENDED SOLIDS POLLUTION
All exposed soil and dust in the yard area, the gravel parking
areas, and earth embankments are potential erosion zones, and
potential sources of suspended solids in storm water runoff. All
3

,visible signs of erosion, such as rutting, slumping and broad wash-
out zones are known areas of suspended solids generation and
require immediate corrective action.
3.6 POTENTIAL SOURCES OF pH POLLUTION
Spills or other releases of chemicals which may occasionally
be used in the wastewater treatment process can alter storm water's
natural pH. Accidental spills of chemicals will require immediate
spill containment and cleanup measures.
3.7 POTENTIAL SOURCES OF HEAVY METALS
Bulk storage of grinding and sandblasting dust are potential
sources of metals in storm water. Measures are required to limit
exposure of the dust to storm water.
3.8 OTHER SOURCES OF POLLUTION
When operation properly, septic tank field lines are not a
source of pollution. However, it is possible that field lines may
become clogged and cause effluent to seep to the surface. Any
signs of failing field lines must be immediately addressed.
3.9 POTENTIAL SOURCES OF OIL & GREASE POLLUTION
Leaking equipment, improperly stored drums, broken hydraulic
hoses, and transportation accidents are potential sources of oil
and grease pollution. Incidental and accidental spills require
immediate clean up. Standard clean up procedures for petroleum
spills are addressed in Section 6.
3.10 STORM WATER MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
FCI has submitted a general storm water discharge permit
application to the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources
for General Permit Number NCG030000. This general permit
application, along with the general permit conditions, is shown in
Appendix A. The two storm water outfalls, designated as outfalls
001E, 001I, on Figure 2.2, will require sampling in 1993, 1995, and
4

1997., Samples will be taken between the months of April and
November, and will be analyzed for pH, oil and grease, cadmium,
chromium, copper, lead, iron, nickel, silver,and zinc. A typical
chain -of -custody record for storm water sampling is shown in
Appendix B. It is also required to measure flow from storm water
sampling events A flow estimation vs. rainfall table for the
facility is shown in Appendix B.

PLANNED POLLUTION PREVENTION CONSTRUCTION

SECTION 4
PLANNED POLLUTION PREVENTION CONSTRUCTION
4.1 PLANNED SLOPE AND PROTECTION AND GRASS BUFFER
It is planned to seed and establish turf grass on all slopes,
earthen berms, and non -traffic areas. Turf grass improves storm
water quality by physically filtering particles and increasing
infiltration rates. In addition, turf grass reduces the discharge
of suspended solids by preventing erosion.
Proper turf grass selection is an important factor in
establishing an effective sediment control program. Tall fescue is
the grass most often recommended for industrial facilities in North
Carolina. Tall fescue is readily available, hardy, can be planted
from seed, is inexpensive, can withstand wet and drought
conditions, is evergreen, and is low in maintenance. Other turf
grasses are also available. A turf grass selection chart is shown
in Figure 4.1.
Proper soil and seed preparation is required to establish turf
grass. Areas to be planted must be disked or scarified prior to
planting. Rough slope surfaces are preferred because they aid the
establishment of vegetation, improve water infiltration, and
decrease runoff velocity. Graded areas with smooth, hard surfaces
may be initially attractive, but such surfaces increase the
potential for erosion. A rough, loose soil surface gives a
mulching effect that protects fertilizer, and seed. Nicks in the
surface are cooler and provide more favorable moisture conditions
than hard, smooth surfaces; this aids seed germination.
There are different methods for achieving a roughened soil
surface on a slope, and the selection of an appropriate method
depends upon the type of slope. Tracking, as shown in Figure 4.2,
is a practical method of scarification for many industrial sites.
Flatter areas may be plowed, disked, or scarified in a similar
manner.
After the area has been prepared and seeded, it will be
necessary to mulch the seed to obtain a significant germination

SURFACE ROUGHENING
Definition Roughening abare soil surface with horizontal grooves running across the slope,
stair stepping, or tracking with construction equipment
Purpose To aid the establishment of vegetative cover from seed, to reduce runoff velocity
and increase infiltration, and to reduce erosion and provide for sediment trap -
Conditions Where All construction slopes require surface roughening to facilitate stabilization with
Practice Applies : vegetation, particularly slopes steeper than 3:1.
.• .
Planning Rough slope surfaces arepreferredbecause they aid the establishment of vegeta-
Co n s i d e rati o n s tion, improve water infiltration, and decrease runoff velocity. Graded areas with
smooth, hard surfaces may be initially attractive, but such surfaces increase the
potential for erosion. A rough, loose soil surface gives a mulching effect that -
protects lime, fertilizer, and seed. Nicks in the surface are cooler and provide
more favorable moisture conditions than hard, smooth surfaces; this aids seed
germination.
There are different methods for achieving a roughened soil surface on a slope,
and the selection of an appropriate method depends upon the type of slope.
Roughening methods include stair -step grading, grooving, (Figure 6.03a) and
tracking. Factors to be considered in choosing a method are slope steepness,
mowing requirements, and whether the slope is formed by cutting or filling.
Bulldozer treads create
grooves perpendicular to the slope. The
slope face should not be back -bladed
during the final grading operation (source:
Va SWCC).

rate. A light covering of hay, straw, or grass clippings will
greatly increase the effectiveness of a turf grass planting
program. It may be necessary to re -seed steep slopes several times
before a suitable stand of turf grass is established.
4.2 PLANNED DRAINAGE CHANNEL CONSTRUCTION
Much of the storm water discharge from Frit Car, Inc. is sheet
flow. However, the potential exists for erosion channels to
develop. If erosion channels develop, the area will be graded
smooth and then seeded and mulched to maintain sheet flow.
However, if the erosion channel appears to be chronic, it will be
necessary to build an erosion resistant water course. Examples of
typical engineered water courses and culvert outlet protection
designs are shown in Figures 4.3 and 4.4.

SPILL CONTROL

SECTION 5
SPILL CONTROL
5.1 POTENTIAL SPILL SOURCES
There are three probable spill scenarios which may occur. The
three likely spill scenarios are:
• Broken hydraulic lines, fuel leaks, or oil leaks from
heavy equipment.
• Spills of waste oil, hydraulic oil, or diesel fuel during
maintenance operations.
• Accidental releases of paints, solvents, and chemicals
from process and wastewater treatment operations.
5.2 MINOR SPILLS
Spills of less than 55 gallons are considered minor spills.
Breaks in hydraulic lines, fuel leaks, paint and solvent container
leaks, and oil leaks from heavy equipment are considered minor
spills. Hydraulic line ruptures represents the most common clean-
up situation. Dry clean up methods, such as spreading oil
absorbents on spills, will be used where possible. Hydraulic fluid
stained soil and used absorbents will be excavated with shovels,
placed in drums, and handled as oil contaminated waste. Motor oil
leaks usually are noticed as oil spots under the vehicles after
overnight parking. Stained soil from motor oil leaks will be
excavated and handled as an oil contaminated waste. Minor fuel
spills will also be cleaned up using absorbents and soil excavation
methods. Typical applications for oil absorbent materials are
shown in Figure 5.1. Non -biodegradable sorbents should not be used
if the material is to be disposed of in a landfill. Current
disposal regulations are shown in Figure 5.2.
5.3 SIGNIFICANT SPILLS
Petroleum spills of between 55 gallons and 1,000 gallons are
considered significant spills. Significant spills of waste oil,
hydraulic oil, or diesel fuel will first be prevented from entering
storm water outfalls by constructing earthen berms.
8

On November 18, 1992, the Federal Register published a rule to become effective May 18,
1993, prohibiting landfiihng of wastes that have been absorbed in material that biodegrade
or that release liquids when compressed as might occur during routine 3ai, ffl1 operations.
All materials used to Absorb or Adsorb liquids destined for landfills, therefore, must be
sorbed onto non biodegradable sorbents.
Examples of non biodegradable sorbents are: (Ref. Federal Register f VoL 57, Wednesday,
November 18, 1992, 54461).
1. Inorganic minerals, other inorganic materials, and elemental carbon
(eg. aluminosflicates, clays smectites, Fuller's earth, bentonite calcium
bentonite., montmon'ilonite, calcined mo ntmori lonite, kolinite, micas (Mite)
vermiculites, ziolites calcium carbonais (organic free limestone),
addes/hydroxides, alumina, lime, silica (sand) diatomaoous earth, periite
(volcanic glass) expanded volcanic rock, volcanic ash, moment kin dust, fly ash,
rice- hull ash, activated charcoal (activated carbon). Note that clays and
cement kiln dust (CKD) are acc ptable as non biodeaadable. This means
treaters can use "oil dry".
2. FTgh molecular weight synthetic polymer (ie., polyethylene, high density
. polyethylene.(I-IDPE).polypropylene, polystyrene, polyurethane, polyacrylate,
polynonborene, polyisobutylene, ground synthetic rubber, Boss linked
allyistyrene and tertiary butyl copolymers).
3. Mixtures of 1 and 2 above.
Spill cleanup material must contain only approved sorbents if it is to be Iancifilled. If it
requires incineration, a biodegradable sorbent maybe used. This is also true for lab packs.
Contaminated soils from a spill response would not be subject to this rule. The EPA
clarified this by stating, "The soils are not added to wastes to e3imi r rate liquids; rather, the
contaminated soil is, in effect, the waste as it was generated. Tnus, the soil is not a sorbent,
and the question of its biodegradability does not arise." Tnese requirements apply to non
hn7nrdous wastes as well as hazardous; bulk and containerized.

May 18, 1993
Federal Register Vo. 57,
No. 54461
I Date:

Stained soil will be excavated, placed into drums, and handled
as a petroleum contaminated waste.
5.4 MAJOR SPILLS
Petroleum product spills of over 1,000 gallons are major
spills. This spill situation is unlikely because no more than 500
gallons of products are present on site at any time. However in
the event of a major spill, immediate action will be required to
prevent the spill from reaching the storm water outfalls. During
major spills, temporary earthen berms and trenches will be rapidly
constructed to contain the spill and prevent its migration into
storm water outfalls.
Emergency clean-up of major spills will consist of excavating
obviously stained soil. Excavated soil will be placed into drums
or placed onto plastic sheets and protected from storm water.
American Environmental Engineering will be contacted immediately at
[phone] to aid in documenting the spill, and to arrange for
economical disposal, recycling, or on -site treatment of the
excavated soil.

SECTION.6
EMPLOYEE TRAINING, FACILITY INSPECTION, AND STORM WATER SAMPLING
6.1 MATERIAL HANDLING TRAINING
Mr. Charles Adams, Safety, Health and Environmental
Administrator, will arrange annual employee training on the
material handling and storage practices and spill control as
outlined in this document. Employees responsible for paint and
solvent handling, chemical handling, hydraulic and motor oil
handling, waste oil storage, and routine facility maintenance will
be instructed on proper procedures for spill prevention and
control. Employees responsible for spill control will be trained
to abate the spill from entering storm water outfalls.
6.2 STORM WATER FACILITY INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Designated personnel will be responsible for daily inspection,
maintenance of the facility's storm water control structures, and
material handling practices. Daily inspection will include a
visual survey of the facility to confirm that the following
material handling and storage practices are observed:
• The facility will be inspected to insure that all full
and empty containers are stored within the roofed areas,
or otherwise protected from storm water.
• The facility will be inspected to insure that all minor
spills of petroleum products have been properly removed
from the yard areas.
• The facility will be inspected to insure that adequate
supplies of oil absorbents and lime are available to
clean up incidental oil, paint solvent, acid and caustic
spills.
• The facility will be inspected daily during dry weather
conditions for the presence of possible non -storm water
discharges (such as indicators of leaks, spills,
overflow, etc.) to insure that no undocumented discharges
are present. All possible undocumented discharges shall
be investigated, and the condition will be corrected as
needed.
10

• Embankment slopes, drainage channels, drop inlets, and
culvert approaches will be inspected for the presence of
erosion, and the condition will be corrected as needed.
A facility storm water inspection check list is provided in
Appendix A. A record of inspection shall be kept on file along
with all discharge monitoring data and reports for a minimum of
three years, and will be available to the North Carolina Department
of Environmental Health and Natural Resources (NCDEHNR) for
inspection upon request.
6.3 STORM WATER SAMPLING
Three sampling events are scheduled for the duration of the
five year NPDES Storm Water Discharge Permit Period. The sampling
events are tentatively scheduled between the months of April and
November for the years 1993, 1995, and 1997. The storm water
testing parameters, sample chain -of -custody record, and rainfall vs
flow estimation chart are shown in the Storm Water Monitoring
Package in Appendix B. Storm water grab samples will be collected
during the first twenty minutes of a qualifying storm event. Storm
water composite samples will be collected every twenty minutes for
up to three hours. The samples will be collected in properly
labeled and preserved bottles supplied by the contract laboratory.
All laboratory results will be kept on file at the facility, and
will be available to the NCDEHNR upon request.
Certification statements for cyanide and fluoride, are
included in Appendix B. Frit Car, Inc. is not required to test
storm water for these pollutants because no cyanide or fluoride is
used at the facility. 'The certification statement should be signed
and submitted along with the results of each sampling event.

Date: January 28,._1992
1. TYPES OF DISCHARGES COVERED
Activities Covered by this General Permit
Point source discharges of stormwater runoff associated with
industrial activities classified as Fabricated Metal Products
[Standard Industrial Classification Code (SIC) 34), Industrial
and Commercial Machinery .(SIC 35), Electronic Equipment (SIC 36),
Transportation Equipment (SIC 37), Measuring and Analyzing
Instruments (SIC.38), and establishments primarily engaged in the
wholesale trade of metal waste and scrap, iron and steel
scrap, and nonferrous metal scrap (hereafter referred to as the
metal waste recycling industry). This General Permit is
applicable to stormwater discharges from those areas at the
facilities described above where materials or material handling
equipment are exposed to stormwater. Ship Building and Repair
facilities (SIC 373), Structural Fabricated Metal (SIC 3441), and
the wholesale trade dealing in metal waste recycling (a portion
of SIC 5093).where the stormwater discharge associated with the
industrial activity is covered regardless of material or material
handling equipment exposure. Also included in this General
Permit are stormwater discharges from those areas at the
facilities described above which are used for vehicle maintenance
activities.
Geographic Area(s) Covered by this General Permit
Discharges covered by this General Permit are located at any
place within the political boundary of the State of North
Carolina (discharges located on the Cherokee Indian Tribal
Reservation are subject to permitting by the US Environmental
Protection Agency and are not covered by this General Permit).
Receiving Waters
All .arfaci; waters of Nc.rt[i CarolLnu Giiinicipel separate storm
ewer systems conveying stormwater to surface waters.

Types of Operations Covered
SIC groups 34, 35, 36, 37, and 38 industry categories include
facilities involved in the manufacture of metal and metal -related
products, including metal cans; tinware; handtools; cutlery;
general hardware; nonelectric heating apparatus; metal forgings;
metal stampings; ordnance; engines and turbines; farm and garden
machinery; construction machinery; mining machinery; elevators;
hoist cranes; monorails; industrial trucks; tractors; industry
machinery electricitydistribution equipment; electrical
industrial apparatus; household appliances; electrical lighting
and wiring equipment; radio and TV receiving equipment;.
communications equipment; electronic components and accessories;
motor vehicles; aircraft; guided missiles; space vehicles; boats;
railroad equipment; motorcycles; bicycles; snowmobiles; measuring
instruments; instrument sensors; optical instruments;, lenses;
surveying and drafting instruments; hydrological, hydrographic,.
meteorological, and geophysical equipment; medical equipment;
dental equipment; ophthalmic goods; photographic equipment; and
watches and clocks.
The majority of industries•in these groups generally conduct
manufacturing indoors as they are primarily engaged in producing
finished goods and products. When viewed as a whole, facilities
engaged in producing the above manufactured products will not
store raw materials, intermediate products, final products,
by-products, waste products, or chemicals outside. Production of
significant emissions from stacks or air exhaust systems will not
be a factor in the production process. Loading or unloading
chemicals or hazardous substances outside will not normally be an
aspect of such facilities or activities. The use of unhoused
manufacturing and heavy industrial equipment will generally not
occur. Also, the generation of significant dust or particulate
will be atypical in the manufacture of these products. However,
where these types of activities take place exposed to stormwater,
.contamination of the runoff results in the release of hazardous
or toxic substances to the surfaces waters.
Those industries involved in Ship Building and Repair (SIC 373),
Structural Fabricated Metal (SIC 3441), and those involved in the
Metal Waste and Recycling Industry (a portion of SIC 5093),
conduct much of their operations outdoors and have materials and
heavy equipment located so that they are exposed to stormwater.
However, their activity is closely related to the activities
involved in other types of :petal -related activities described
above and can, therefore, be expected to similar stormwater
discharge characteristics. These two activities must be
permitted for the discharge of stormwater runoff from the entire
area.where industrial activity is conducted.
Facilities involved in the metal finishing industry may include
activities best described i'j the . l-;o Jing list from Title 40

Description of Typical Stormwater Controls and Treatment
Facilities
Very little information is available in the literature as to the
practices and treatment for stormwater discharges from these
industries. Management practices dictate that materials
(especially chemicals) not be exposed to stormwater. Proper
containment of chemicals and process wastewater to prevent
exposure to stormwater seems to be typically practiced in the
industry. Control and prevention of spills and leaks are common
housekeeping. practices both to minimize stormwater contamination
and process wastewater contaminants. Recommended housekeeping
procedures widely repeated in the literature are as follows:
1. Repair leaks on tanks, pumps, and lines.
2 . Inspect anti -siphon 1,a1N7es .
3. Inspect tanks and tank lines.
4. Inspect racks for breaks in insulation.
5. Use dry clean up whenever possible.
6. Install drip trays and splash guards.
Tankage and process areas should be properly protected by
secondary containment devices to assure stormwater contamination
is avoided or minimized in the event of..leakage or rupture.
Type of Stormwater Discharged
A search of literature available to the Division did not produce
analyses of the stormwater runoff that might be expected from
industryind114-ry engaged in these manufacturing operations. However, the
potential pollutant parameters are felt to be the same as the
parameter lists identified as characteristic of the process
wastewaters. These characteristic parameters, specifically
4

Metals (Common, Precious, and Complexed), Cyanide, Oil and
Grease,,Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Toxic Organics (TTO),
and pH,"should adequately represent the potential for
contamination as a result of exposure of raw materials,
intermediate products, final products, by-products, and waste
materials, or industrial machinery.

Permittees covered by this General Permit shall comply with Final
Limitations and Controls specified for stormwater discharges in
accordance with the following schedule:
Existing facilities: The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
shall be developed and implemented within 12 months of the
effective date of the Certificate of Coverage issued pursuant
to this General Permit and updated on an annual basis.
New facilities: Prior to submitting a Notice of Intent to be
covered by this General Permit, the facility shall develop a
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan addressing all aspects of
the facility's industrial operations.
S. PROPOSED SPECIAL CONDITIONS WHICH WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT ON THE DISCHARGE
None.
6. BASIS FOR PROPOSED CONTROLS AND LIMITATIONS
The conditions of this draft general permit have been designed
using best professional judgement to achieve water quality
protection through compliance with the technology -based standards
of the Clean Water Act (Best Available Technology [BAT] and Best
Conventional Pollutant Control -2echnology [BCT]). Where the
Director determines that a water quality violation is occurring
and water quali`-y-based controls, or effluent limitations, are
required to protect the 1euelvizig waters, coverage under the
general permi _ shall be terminated and an individual permit will
be required.. L_.st•d on a consideration of the appropriate factors
5

for BAT and BCT requirements, and a consideration of the factors
discussed below in this fact sheet for controlling pollutants in
stormwater discharges associated with the activities as described
in No. 1, the draft permit proposes a set .of requirements for
developing and implementing stormwater pollution prevention
plans, and proposes specific requirements for monitoring and
reporting on the stormwater discharges.
The draft permit conditions.ref lect._the Environmental Protection
Agency and.the North.Carolina pollution prevention approach -to
stormwater permitting. The .quality of the stormwater discharge
associated with an industrial activity will depend on the
availability of pollutant sources..This draft.general.permit .
proposes that implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs)
and traditional stormwater management'practices which control the
source of pollutants meets the definition of BAT and BCT. The
draft permit conditions are not numeric effluent limitations, but
rather are designed to be flexible requirements for developing
and implementing site specific plans to minimize and control
pollutants in the stormwater discharges associated with
the industrial activity.
Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 122.44(k)(2)
authorizes the use of BMPs in lieu of numeric effluent
limitations in NPDES permits when the agency finds numeric
effluent limitations to be infeasible. The agency may also
impose BMP requirements which are "reasonably necessary" to carry
out the purposes of the Act under the authority of 40 CFR
122.44(k)(3). The conditions of the draft permit are proposed
under the authority of both of these regulatory provisions. The
pollution prevention requirements (BMP requirements) in this
permit operate as limitations on effluent discharges that reflect
the application of BAT/BCT. This is because the BMPs identified
require the use of source control technologies which, in the
context of this general permit, are the best available of the
technologies economically achievable (or the equivalent BCT
finding).
All facilities covered by this stormwater general permit must
prepare, retain, implement, and (at a minimum of annually) update
a stormwater pollution prevention plan. The term "pollution
prevention" distinguishes this source reduction approach from
traditional pollution control measures that typically rely on
end -of -pipe treatment to remove pollutants in the discharges.
The plan requirements are based primarily on traditional
stormwater management, pollution prevention and BMP concepts,
providing a flexible basis for developing site -specific measures
to minimize and control the amounts of pollutants that would
otherwise contaminate the stormwater- runoff.
The pollution prevention approach adopted in the stormwater
pollution prevention plans in the draft _permit two
major objectives; 1; To identify sources of pollution potentially
affecting the quality of stormwater discharges, associated with
industrial activity from the facility; and 2) Describe and
G

ensure that practices are implemented to minimize and control
pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with industrial
activity from the facility and to ensure compliance with the
terms and conditions of this permit.
The Division believes that_it is not appropriate, at this time,
to require a single set of effluent limitations or a single
design or operational.stardard for all - facilities which discharge
stormwater associated with: industrial activity._ Rather, this
permit establishes a -framework for:the development. and
implementation of site -specific stormwater pollution prevention
plans. This framework provides the necessary flexibility to
address ,the -.variable ;_risk :for pollutants :in stormwater ._discharges
associated -with 'different types of -industrial activity ,that are
addressed_ by.,this permit, while ensuring procedures,to prevent
stormwater pollution at a given facility are appropriate given
the processes employed, -engineering aspects, -functions, costs of
controls, location,'and age of facility (as contemplated by 40
CFR 125.3). This approach taken allows flexibility to establish
controls which can appropriately address different sources of
pollutants at different facilities.
In 1979, EPA completed a technical survey of industry best
management practices (BMPs) which was based on a review of
practices used by industry to control the non -routine discharge
of pollutants from non -continuous sources including runoff,
drainage from raw material storage areas, spills, leaks, and
sludge or waste disposal. This review included analysis and
assessment of published articles and reports, technical
bulletins, and discussions with industry representatives through
telephone contacts, written questionnaires and site visits.
The technical survey identified two classes of pollution control
measures. The first class of controls are those management
practices which are generally considered to be essential to the
development of an effective and efficient BMP program, low in
cost, and applicable to broad categories of industries and
substances. These controls include the following: developing a
Spill Control Committee and implementing spill reporting,
material inventorying and compatibility reviews, employee
training, visual inspections, preventative maintenance
programs, good housekeeping, and addressing security issues.
These practices are broadly applicable to all industries and can
be implemented by each facility independent of the category of
industry, ancillary sources, specific chemicals used at different
sites, and/or plant site locations. The survey
concluded that these controls should be minimum requirements for
any effective BMP program.
The second class of controls are management practices which
provide for a second line of defense against the release of
pollutants. These controls include prevention measures,
containment measures, mitigation and cleanup measures and
treatment methods. The types of chemicals, industrial
7

operations and various ancillary sources specify the controls
applicable to an individual facility.
Since that time the EPA and NPDES States have, on a case -by -case
basis, imposed BMP requirements in NPDES permits. The EPA has
also continued to review and evaluate case studies involving the
use of BMPs and the use of pollutionpreventionmeasures`
associated with spill prevention and containment measures for
oil. The development.of•the NPDES permit application
requirements for stormwater discharges associated with industrial
activity resulted from the evaluation and_identif ication of the
potential -contaminants :and•the"resultant waterquality impacts of
stormwater discharges from industrial -sites. 'Public comments
received during the rulemaking provided additional insight
regarding stormwater risk assessment, as well as appropriate
pollution prevention and control measures and strategies. During
that time EPA again reviewed stormwater control practices and
measures. These experiences have shown the Division that
pollution prevention measures such as BMPs can be appropriately
used and that permits containing BMP requirements can effectively
reduce pollutant discharges in a cost-effective manner. BMP
requirements are being appropriately imposed in general permits
in lieu of numeric effluent limitations pursuant to 40 CFR
122.44(k)(2).
Plan Requirements
The following are specific requirements of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (Plan):
A. Site Plan. Stormwater pollution prevention plans must be
based on an accurate understanding of the pollution potential of
the site. The first part of the plan requires an evaluation of
the sources of pollution at a specific industrial site. The
permit proposes that the source identification components of the
plan identify all activities and significant materials which may
potentially be significant pollutant sources. Plans shall
include:
1. A general location map, showing the facility's location in
relation to transportation.routes and surface waters, and 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.
2. A narrative description of storage practices, loading and
unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or
particulate generating processes, and waste disposal
practices.
3. A site map drawn to scale with a distance legend, indicating
location of industrial activities (including storage of
materials, disposal areas, process areas, and loading and
8

unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for
each outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area,
building locations and impervious surfaces, 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.
4. 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.-
5. Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been
evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges.
B. Stormwater Management Plan. The management of the stormwater
on the site should address the practices and program elements to
reduce pollutants in areas identified as being potential
pollutant sources for stormwater discharges associated with
industrial activity. The stormwater management plan will be the
second part of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and 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 _
non-structural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a'
minimum shall incorporate the following:
1. A study addressing the feasibility of changing the methods of
operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce
exposure of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever
practicable the permittee shall cover all storage areas,
material handling operations, manufacturing or fueling
operations to prevent materials exposure to stormwater. In
areas where elimination of exposure is not practicable, the
stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential
contamination;
2. 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 materials 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 and any stormwater that accumulates in the
containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed
prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the
description of the accumulated stormwater and the date and
t;mP of _ .. shall l br• ht-pt fnr a for _.via of five years;
3. A narrative description of Best Management Practices (B?Ps)
to be cow6idered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
9

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 contributing
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges
and data collected through monitoring of stormwater
discharges; and
4. Inspection schedules of stormwater _conveyances and controls
and measures to'be taken to limit or prevent erosion -
associated with the stormwater systems.
C. Spill'Prevention and Response 'Plan. Areas where potential
spills can occur and their accompanying drainage'points should be
identified clearly in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Incorporation 'of a risk assessment of potential pollutant sources
based on a materials inventory of the facility shall be required.
Facility personnel (or.team) responsible for implementing the
plan shall be identified in the plan. A responsible person shall
be on -site at.ail times during facility operations that have the
potential to contaminate.stormwat.er runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with facility operations.
D. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program.
Preventative maintenance is very important to preventing the
contamination of stormwater. Systems and equipment used to
prevent exposure, remove contaminants (oil -water separators,
catch basins, detention basins, etc.), and otherwise reduce
and/or prevent stormwater contamination must be kept in good
repair, properly adjusted, and clean in order to perform as
intended'. Therefore, development of a preventative maintenance
program shall be required. The program shall document schedules
of inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control
systems, plant equipment and systems. Inspection of material
handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas
shall be incorporated into the program.
E. Training. Employee training programs are necessary to inform
personnel at all levels of responsibility of the components and
goals of the stormwater pollution plan. Therefore, 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
shah be identified in the plan.
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a
specific position(s) responsible for the overall coordination,
development, rmple:nentatlon, acid re'. _sion to the Dian.
Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be
documented and position(s) assignments provided. The permittee
shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in design,
10

construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant
effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to
surface waters. This Plan shall be considered to be public
information.
Monitoring and Reporting." The draft permit specifies monitoring
and report_ng requirements for. both quantitative sampling of the
stormwater discharge and operational' inspections of the entire
facility, including all stormwater.. systems. .The specific
pollutant parameters for which quantitative sampling must -be
performed and the frequency of the sampling are based upon the
potential for contamination. of the stormwater runoff at these
facilities and upon the potential water quality impact for surface
waters.
•
Most of .the facilities in this category are expected to have some
of the operations listed in Table 4-1. On the average, the
facilities in this category are expected to use solvents,
metals, and. other chemicals. While some facilities in this
category may not have wet processes, the potential for
contamination of stormwater by solvents, metals and/or other
chemicals exists in the areas where materials or material
handling equipment is exposed to stormwater. The draft permit
proposes specific quantitative sampling for the following
parameters:
Metals: Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Lead, Iron, Lead, Nickel,
Silver, and Zinc.
Organics: Oil and Grease, and Total Toxic Organics.
Other: Total.Flow, Total Suspended Solids, pH, Cyanide, and
Fluoride.
These parameters are taken from the list of pollutants which have
been identified as being pollutants of concern in the Metal
Finishing, Electrical and Electronic Components, and Coil
Coatings categories for process wastewaters.
For facilities not using or storing cyanide (or fluoride), the
facility may make certification to the effect that cyanide (or
fluoride) is not used or stored at the facility and thus obtain a
waiver of the cyanide (or fluoride) sampling requirement (similar
to the cyanide sampling waiver for process wastewater in 40 CFR
Part 465). Additionally, facilities that develop a solvent
management plan to be incorporated into the stormwater pollution
prevention plan may make a request to DEM that monitoring of
total toxic organics be waived. The solvent management plan
shall include as a minimum lists of the toxic organic compounds
used; the method of disposal used Instead of dumping, such as
reclamation,contract hauling, or • n :Ln rayon ; and the
procedures for assuring that toxic organics do not routinely
spill or leak into stormwater. For those facilities allowed such
11

a waiver, the discharger shall include the following signed
certification statement on the discharge monitoring reports:
"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 storrnwater or areas which
are exposed to rainfall or storrnwater runoff has occurred
since filing the last discharge monitoring report. I further
certify that this facility is implementing the solvent
management plan included in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan."
If a facility has storrnwater discharges which contain runoff from
areas at the facility where vehicle maintenance activities are
conducted, specific analytical monitoring of storrnwater runoff is
required for that runoff. Parameters required to be monitored
are as follows: Total Flow, Oil and Grease, Lead, pH, and
Detergents (MBAS).
Other monitoring and reporting required by the draft general
permit is as follows:
1. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed
and updated on an annual basis. Implementation of the plan
shall include documentation of all sampling, measurements,
inspections and maintenance activities and training provided
to employees. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a
period of five years and made available to DEM immediately
upon request. If DEM determines that a Plan does not meet
requirements of the permit, the permittee must give DEM a
time schedule for modifying the Plan and certify that the
Plan has been so modified.
2. Self -inspections of the facility and all storrnwater systems
shall occur at a minimum on a semiannual schedule. The
inspections and any subsequent maintenance activities
performed shall be documented, recording date and time of
inspection, individual(s) making the inspection and a
narrative description of the facility's storrnwater control
system, plant equipment and systems. Records of these
inspections shall be incorporated into the Plan.
3. A log of the sampling data and activities taken to implement
BMPs associated with the vehicle maintenance activities shall
be maintained and incorporated into the Plan.
4. Sample collection and visual ,monitoring shall be performed at
all stormwater discharge outfall locations. . A facility with
multiple discharge locations which are substantially
identical may petition DEM to allow sampling of a reduced
12

number of outfalls. Visual observations shall be recorded
for all outfall locations.
5. 'For 'purposes of stormwater sampling, all samples shall be
collected form a discharge resulting from a representative
storm event. If the stormwater runoff is controlled by a
detention pond, the following sampling requirements shall
apply: .
a. If the detention pond detains the runoff generated by a one
inch rainfall for 24 hours; collect a grab -sample -Of the
discharge from the pond within the first 30 minutes of the
discharge.
b. If the detention pond discharges. only in response toga
ten-year design storm, visual observations required but
analytical sampling shall not be required.
c. If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm
event exceeding a 25-year, 24-hour storm, the pond is
considered to be a non -discharging stormwater control system
and not subject to NPDES permitting unless the discharge
causes a violation of water quality standards.
7. REQUESTED VARIANCES OR ALTERNATIVES TO REQUIRED STANDARDS
None.

PART I
Sec -ion B- MINIMUM MONITORING AND RPPORTING RFOULTRFMFNTS,
(unless otherwise approved in writing by the Director of the Division of
Environmental Management)
1. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated
on an annual basis. Implementation of the plan shall include
documentation of all sampling, measurements, inspections and maintenance
activities and training provided to employees, including the log of the
sampling data and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with
the vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept
on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or
his authorized representative immediately upon request.
2. 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 submit a time schedule to the Director for
modifying the Plan to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall
provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part II, Standard
Conditions, Section B, #12) to the Director that the changes have been

during the months of April through November. If the stormwater runoff
is controlled by a detention pond, the following sampling requirements
shall apply:
Page 4 of 28 Pages

a.' If 'the detention -pond detains the runoff generated by one inch of
rainfall for 24 hours, a grab sample of the discharge from the pond
shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of the discharge. -
b. If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event
exceeding a ten year design storm (See Part II, Standard Conditions,
Section A), visual observations are required, but analytical sampling
shall not be required.
c. If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event
exceeding a 25-year, 24-hour storm (See Part II, Standard Conditions,

measured shall be a representative storm event.

c. This permit regulates stormwater discharges. Non-stormwater
discharges which shall be allowed in the stormwater conveyance system
are:
(1) All other discharges that are authorized by a non-stormwater NPDES
permit.
(2)
Uncontaminated groundwater, foundation drains, air -conditioner
condensate without added chemicals, springs, discharges of
uncontaminated potable water, waterline and fire hydrant
flushings, water from footing drains, flows from riparian habitats
and wetlands.
(3) Discharges resulting from fire -fighting.
If the storm event monitored and reported in accordance with this
general permit coincides with a non-stormwater discharge, the permittee
shall separately monitor and report all parameters as required under the
non-stormwater discharge permit and provide this information with the
stormwater discharge monitoring report.
