Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: No other permits.
2. General Observations: One stormwater outlet that goes through a pipe under the road on the northwest comer of the
property.
Im airment: Crowder Creek is on the 303(d) for. index 11-135g. The reason for the rating was biological criteria
exceeded. Basinwide Plan for Crowder Creek stated the entire 15.8-mile creek is listed as Impaired in the state's
303(d) list due to high fecal coliform concentrations from urban runoff, storm sewers and point source discharges.
Data also indicate the biological community is Impaired. This finding indicates that Crowders Creek would likely
benefit from a management plan that reduces the detrimental effects of urbanization. For more information on
management suggestions for urbanizing watersheds, please refer to Section A, Chapter 4, Part 4.11. Additionally,
D WQ encourages implementation of agriculture BMPs wherever possible.
4. Threatened and Endangered: No State or Federally endangered or threatened species within 2 miles of the site
based on the NC Natural Heritage Virtual Workroom.
5. Location: The facility based on the address was located in a different location based on Google maps. A site
map was provided in the application and that location was used.
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: No significant changes when the renewal application was submitted.
7. Analytical Monitoring Notes: The analytical monitoring was collected 17 times from 9/28/1994 to 3/2/2005.
The sampling only tested pH and they all were within the current benchmark.
Based on the EPA draft 2006 Sector -Specific permit, Sector C "Chemical and Allied Products", TSS should be
included for the SIC 2899.
8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: The qualitative monitoring shows there is no color, odor, floating solids (except
for grass once) foam, or sheen. The sampling was done from spring 94 to spring 99.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
I . TSS was added to the analytical monitoring requirements based on EPA Sector C "Chemical and Allied
Products" recommendations.
2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II
Section B. The pennittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs .
during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days
of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart,
as specified in Table 2.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values
require the pennittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a
benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall
follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a
mitigation plan within two months. If during the tern of this permit, the sampling results are above the
benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall
two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition
of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every
outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.
5. The pennittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during
representative storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of
representative outfall status.
6. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote I of Tables 1,
4, and 5.
7. The Flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
S. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
l . Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each
outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant
spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to
ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part 11
Section A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More
details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do
not contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft 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. Additional
information is provided in Part I Section A.

Dear Mr. Buckner:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit:
Analytical monitoring changes:
1. Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and pH have been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually.during a representative storm event as defined in
Part II Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge
occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow'
within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a
minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2.
3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. 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. If the
sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at
any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within
two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit,
the sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific
parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the
Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute
monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark
value for two consecutive samples.
4. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of
representative outfall status.
5. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
6. The. flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall
parameter is in this permit, however.)

7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical
and qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater permits, however it
only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the
permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply.
Other permit changes:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants
in each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of
significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have
been inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is
provided in Part II Section A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
More details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II
Section A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that
the outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement semi-annual Facility Inspection Prograrn of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part 1f Section A.
5. Information regarding the No. Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft 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. Additional information is provided in Part I Section A.
6. Per the requirements of the Catawba Riparian Buffer Rule, all stormwater drainage from portions of
this site that have been constructed after. June 30, 2001 must be discharged through a correctly
designed level spreader or another device that meets diffuse flow requirements per 15A NCAC 2B
.0243. Diffuse flow requirements are described in Chapter 8 of the North Carolina Stormwater BMP
Manual, available at: http://li2o.enr:state.ne.us/su/bmp forms htm
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following.your receipt of,the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.
