Dear Mr. Greenwood:
On September 20, 2017 Glen White, Environmental Specialist with the North Carolina
Department of Environmental Quality — Division of Waste Management (NCDEQ — DEMLR)
conducted an unannounced compliance inspection with you at the facility located at 2400 Shore
Street in Archdale.
This facility holds General Stormwater Permit NCG030622 to discharge stormwater from
industrial activity associated with Metal Fabrication [SIC 341 under the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The permit became effective October 1, 2014 and
expires on September 30, 2019. A copy of the current permit is required to be maintained with
the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) documents.
This facility was required to develop and maintain a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP) in accordance with Part II, Section A of the permit. All qualitative and analytical
monitoring records are required to be maintained with the SPPP for a minimum of five (5) years.
The following observations and deficiencies were noted during the NCDEQ inspection and
subsequent file review:
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan:
General Permit NCG 030000, Part II Section A requires the permittee to develop and
implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) that incorporates items 1
through 9 of this section of the permit. This facility was found to be deficient in that it

WinstoirSalem Regional Office i 450 Hanes Mill Road. Suite 300 1 Winston-Salem. NC 27103
did not appear to have provided a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and
does not have a plan being prepared. The facility has not updated the responsible parties
information, name%wnership of the facility.
4ualitative & Analytical Monitoring:
General Permit NCG 030000, Part II Section B & D require the permittee to conduct
semi-annual qualitative and analytical monitoring at the facilities outfalls. This facility
was found to be deficient in that it has conducted no monitoring.
No Exposure Exclusion:
It appears that this facility may qualify for No Exposure Exclusion to the full industrial
stormwater permit. This is only an observation, not a requirement. If the facility or
property owners were to clean up the area behind the facility and remove all metal, wood
and plastic waste materials and totes, the facility could apply for No Exposure Exclusion
under current operating procedures.
Your Required Response:
Accordingly, you are directed to respond to this letter in writing within 30 calendar days of
receipt of this Notice. Your response should outline how the violations will be addressed and
should be sent to this office at the letterhead address and include the following:
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan:
• Provide a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and all nine (9) of the required
components unless the facility plans to qualify for No Exposure Exclusion to the full
permit within 30 days from the date of registered receipt of this letter.
• Provide qualitative and analytical monitoring at all outfalls on a semi-annual basis unless
the facility plans to qualify for No Exposure Exclusion to the full permit within 30 days
of receipt of this letter.
• If No Exposure Exclusion is requested, the site must be cleaned up as discussed prior to
inspection to determine if exclusion can be granted.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. This Office is considering sending a
recommendation for enforcement to the Director of the DEMLR (Division of Energy, Minerals,
& Land Resources) regarding these issues and any future/continued violations that may be
encountered. This office requires that the violations, as detailed above, be abated
immediately and properly resolved. Environmental damage and/or failure to secure proper
authorizations have been documented on the subject tract as stated above. Your efforts to
undertake activities to bring the subject site back into compliance is not an admission, rather it is
an action that must be taken in order to begin to resolve ongoing environmental issues.

the required form is included with this letter.
2. The facility appears to qualify for No Exposure Exclusion to the industrial stormwater permit. Complete and submit the
