Section 1. Facility Activities and Process:
SAS Solar is a dyked tank farm facility that packages antifreeze and tobacco sucker
control products as well as repackaging hydrochloric acid for bulk distribution. The
facility blends, processes, and packages liquid and dry product/chemicals. Dry storage
and transportation via rail, truck, and ship is also performed.
Potential pollutants exposed to stormwater include:
• Antifreeze
• Sodium hydroxide 50%
• Potassium hydroxide 45%
• Phosphoric acid 75%
• Sodium tolyltriazole 50%
• Tween 20
• Tween 80
• Maleic anhydride
• Sulfuric acid
• Hydrazine 40%
• Ethylene glycol
• 2-Ethylhexoic acid
• Mixtures of octanol, decanol, maleic hydrazide and water
Page 1 of 8

Significant changes at the site since the last permit renewal include:
• Installed new blending kettle/area under the covered loading dock shed in 2013.
This new blending area is completely covered and is totally enclosed within a
concrete dyke wall. The product to be stored and blended in this area is antifreeze.
• Installed new tank farm in 2013 containing 5 new tanks beside Building #6 for
use with the new blending area described in 1) above.
• Discontinued the storing and packaging of DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) into drums
and totes in 2014. This product was a mixture of water and urea and stored in an
above ground tank. This tank was moved to our Texas facility.
• Constructed a new main office building in 2017 in close proximity to the old
office building and then completely removed the old office building. This new
building changed the pervious and impervious areas and a new site map was
drawn up to identify this.
• Began packaging of motor oil in Building #6 in 2017. Initial packaging was from
drum/totes into filling machine and then into quart bottles. Packaging was
increased to include 5 gallon HDPE bottles and a new oil tank farm containing 3
new tanks was installed behind Building #6 near the railroad track in 2017. This
new tank farm is completely dyked and the pump area is completely covered. A
separate SPCC plan was developed to specifically cover this process.
• Stopped blending and packaging of Lithium Hydroxide in Building #2 in 2016
due to customer business decision.
• Stopped storing Phosphoric Acid 75% in above ground storage tank in 2015 due
to volume usage and this product in now being managed/supplied in totes.
Per the inspection report for a site visit conducted in June 2019, two areas of concern
were the sump pump usage and the used oil storage. The sump pumps discharge to
secondary containment. Some is collected for reuse, some discharged to outfall 002, but
there was no evidence of contamination at outfall 002. The stormwater inspector
suggested documenting sump pump use. The inspection report also stated the used oil
room is inside a warehouse but there is capability for leaking totes to go outside. The
stormwater inspector suggested developing a plan for this area.
Outfall 001:
Drainage area includes Building #8.
Outfall 002:
Drainage area includes Building #3, Building #4, Building #6, paved surface areas, and
storage containers.
Outfall 003:
Drainage area includes the Main Office, Building #1, Building #2, Building #4, Building
#7, paved surface lots, and storage containers.
=FRUIT1111
Drainage area includes the containment pit, storage tanks, solar array, infiltration basin,
Building #5, paved roads, and grassy areas.
Why Industrial Sites with Stormwater are Subject to a Permit: Federal NPDES
regulations define stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity in 40 CFR
Page 2 of 8

§122.26 (b)(14) as: "the discharge from any conveyance that is used for collecting and
conveying storm water and that is directly related to manufacturing, processing or raw
materials storage areas at an industrial plant. The term does not include discharges from
facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program under this part 122. For the
categories of industries identified in this section, the term includes, but is not limited to,
storm water [sic] discharges from industrial plant yards; immediate access roads and rail
lines used or traveled by carriers of raw materials, manufactured products, waste
material, or byproducts used or created by the facility; material handling sites; refuse
sites; sites used for the application or disposal of process waste waters (as defined at part
401 of this chapter); sites used for the storage and maintenance of material handling
equipment; sites used for residual treatment, storage, or disposal; shipping and receiving
areas; manufacturing buildings; storage areas (including tank farms) for raw materials,
and intermediate and final products; and areas where industrial activity has taken place in
the past and significant materials remain and are exposed to storm water. For the
purposes of this paragraph, material handling activities include storage, loading and
unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final
product, byproduct or waste product. The term excludes areas located on plant lands
separate from the plant's industrial activities, such as office buildings and accompanying
parking lots as long as the drainage from the excluded areas is not mixed with storm
water [sic] drained from the above described areas."
Section 2. Monitoring Information and Compliance History:
• June 2015 to September 2021, benchmarks exceeded for (only SW002 data
provided):
o pH: Minimum not reached 3 times
Documentation of ROS was not found in the permit file (only 1 outfall reported
monitoring, but 4 outfalls exist). Permittee was instructed in 2018 to apply for
NCG500000 coverage for boiler blowdown, but no permit application or issuance was
found in BIMS. Enforcement action may be needed (defer to WiRO).
Per an email from Brian Lambe (WiRO) on 10/24/2022, the facility needs to apply for
ROS. They have been sampling Outfall #2, but not the other three outfalls because they
do not discharge on a regular basis. The permittee will need to document no discharge to
be able to apply. There are three (3) boiler outfalls that blowndown every day, with minor
amounts of discharge that soak into the ground. DEMLR staff have reached out to DWR
staff concerning this. Additionally, the discharge of the secondary containment may need
greater explanation. Most of the contents of the secondary containment around the tank
farm is pumped to a waste tote. The permittee will need to document discharges of the
containment to the outfall #2 on a quantitative basis.
Threatened/endangered species:
There are several threatened/endangered species in the vicinity of the facility. These
include the Northern long-eared bat (threatened), Eastern big -eared bat (special concern),
Sandhills Milk -vetch (special concern-V), southern hognose snake (threatened), eastern
Page 3 of 8

coral snake (endangered), Xeric Sandhill Scrub (Typic Subtype), Tidal Freshwater Marsh
(Giant Cordgrass Subtype), Tidal Freshwater Marsh (Cattail Subtype).
Section 3. Proposed Monitoring for Stormwater Discharges:
The Division considered potential pollutants from past and present industrial activities
and data was submitted for June 2015 to September 2021. Quantitative sampling included
pH and COD.
The Division is proposing a permit structure with outfall-specific monitoring for
discharges. Parameters are based on potential pollutants in the drainage area, sampling
results, and in some cases, dependent upon future activities (e.g., ash removal through the
drainage area). Below is a table of the proposed monitoring for each outfall at the SAS
Solar site.

Stormwater Benchmarks and Tiered Response: Rather than limits, North Carolina
NPDES Stormwater permits contain benchmark concentrations. Stormwater benchmarks
are numerical action levels for stormwater monitoring. Benchmarks are not effluent
limits, and benchmark exceedances are not permit violations. Benchmarks provide
facilities a tool for assessing the significance of pollutants in stormwater discharges and
the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs). Benchmark concentrations are
intended as guidelines for the facility's development and implementation of the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
Page 4 of 8

Benchmark exceedances require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase
management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater BMPs in a tiered
program. The permit establishes a tiered approach to specify actions the permittee must
take in response to analytical results above benchmark concentrations. The tiered
structure of the permit provides the permittee and DEMLR wide flexibility to address
issues that may arise with one or more parameters and/or outfalls.
Metals benchmarks are calculated to mimic acute water quality standards and with the
guidance of DWR. NC DWR follows established federal procedures for calculating acute
standards when developing the benchmarks. Just like the acute standards, metals
benchmarks normally reflect one half of the calculated Final Acute Value (the "1/2
FAV"). In most cases, translation into total recoverable values is based on an assumed
hardness of 25 mg/L and a total suspended solids (TSS) concentration of 10 mg/L. Acute
standards protect aquatic life from negative impacts of short-term exposure to higher
levels of chemicals where the discharge enters a waterbody. The Stormwater Permitting
Program applies this approach because of the ephemeral nature of rainfall events.
The Division may evaluate results to determine if a smaller suite of parameters for some
outfalls is adequate to characterize potential pollution or BMP effectiveness. For
parameters that do not have a stormwater benchmark, the Division may develop a
benchmark value if appropriate toxicity data become available or if rising trends in
concentrations suggest a persistent source.
A summary of the benchmarks in the draft permit, and their basis, is below:
Parameter
Benchmark
Basis
COD
120 mg/L

domestic wastewaters
Total Suspended

Review of other state's daily maximum
Grease, EPA
15 mg/L
benchmark concentration for this more targeted
Method 1664
O&G; NC WQS that does not allow oil sheen in
SGT-HEM
waters
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan: The proposed permit conditions reflect the
EPA and NC's pollution prevention approach to stormwater permitting. The Division's
maintains that implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and traditional
stormwater management practices that control the source of pollutants meets the
definition of Best Available Technology (BAT) and Best Conventional Pollutant Control
Technology (BCT). The permit conditions are not numeric effluent limitations but are
designed to be flexible requirements for implementing site -specific plans to minimize and
control pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with the industrial activity. Title
40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 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 proposed in this draft permit are included under
Page 5 of 8

the authority of both of these regulatory provisions. In essence, the pollution prevention
and BMP requirements operate as limitations on effluent discharges that reflect the
application of BAT/BCT.
Flexibility in Tier Responses: Tier Two actions provide an opportunity for the permittee
to propose an alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Region:
• Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive
exceedances, exercise the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as
provided below in Tier Three. The Regional Engineer may direct the response
actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three, including reduced
or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
• If pursuing the alternative above after two consecutive exceedances, the permittee
may propose an alternative monitoring plan for approval by the Regional
Engineer.
The permit therefore allows the permittee to petition the Regional Office for monitoring
changes sooner than Tier Three (upon any four benchmark exceedances) and gives
guidance on one option to take. For example, the permittee may request that mercury
only be monitored semi-annually under the tiers, or that only parameters over the
benchmark be monitored more frequently. In this way, changes to the monitoring scheme
for any outfall could be handled outside of a permit modification.
Other Proposed Requirements:
• It is standard for Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) requirements to
include an annual certification that stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for
the presence of non-stormwater discharges, and if any are identified, how those
discharges are permitted or otherwise authorized.
• Requirement to submit a request for permit modification if the facility identifies
or creates any new outfalls, removes outfalls, or alters any drainage area that
changes potential pollutants.
• The Division expects the permittee to apply best professional judgment and
consider the safety of its personnel in fulfilling sampling obligations under the
permit.
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring
reports (DMRs). If a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals,
then permittees must submit DMRs electronically to the EPA.
• Quarterly QualitativeNisual Monitoring to assure regular observation of outfalls
throughout year.
Section 4. Changes from previous permit to draft:
• Monitoring increased from semi-annually to quarterly for all parameters
(qualitative and quantitative)
• "No discharge" clarifications made
• 'No
requirement added
• Boilerplate language moved into body of the permit; boilerplate no longer
attached
Page 6 of 8

• Benchmarks updated for parameters per guidance from DWR Water Quality
Standards staff on stormwater benchmarks
• Clarification made that monitoring for TSS, non -polar O&G, and new motor oil
usage required for all outfalls
Section 5. Changes from draft to final:
• None
Section 6. Discussions with the Facility and Regional Office:
• Initial contact with facility made: 4/1/2022
• Initial contact with Regional Office: 4/1/2022
• Draft sent to CO peer review: 5/26/2022
• Draft sent to Mooresville Regional Office: 9/19/2022
• Final permit sent for supervisor signature: 11/8/2022
Section 7. Comments received on draft permit:
• Brian Lambe (WiRO; via email 4/4/2022): Concern to be addressed is potential
pumping out of the secondary containment for the process area. Permittee
previously argued that documenting this would be difficult.
o Bethany Georgoulias (CO; via email 9/19/2022): How big is the secondary
containment area? We treat secondary containment for tanks > 1 MGD for
petroleum storage as wastewater and issue WW permits instead of the
NCG08 SW permit. If it's a huge area and very contaminated, could be a
WW issue.
• Brian Lambe (WiRO; via email 10/24/2022):
o The permittee may need to send an SOP for secondary containment
discharging to the outfall #2.
o The used oil area is under cover, the permittee has installed a metal barrier
but it needs to be contained better as there are gaps at the corners.
Permittee said they would continue to work on it. There is a drain in the
room as well.
o Recommend issuing the permit, these are issues that can be worked on. I
don't think they are contributing to offsite pollution at this time.
• Vaughn Rizzo (permittee; via email 9/27/2022):
o Draft Permit changes #2 —table #1 benchmarks on page 13 are mg/L, not
ug/L?
■ DEMLR response: The cover letter erroneously included a
common changed in other permits. You may disregard this
comment on the cover letter
o Draft Permit Page #13 footnote #3 — onsite rain gauge is required. Final
Permit #NCS000084 issued in 2015, page #5 states "An onsite rain gauge
or local rain gauge reading must be recorded". I prefer government
Page 7 of 8

sponsored webpage [NOAA (weather.gov)] for rainfall totals? Draft
Permit Footnote #2 on page 13, mentions "local precipitation data".
■ DEMLR response: The permit requires an onsite rain gauge is
required unless an isolated site is frequently unmanned. This is a
standard requirement in all stormwater permits, therefore, this
condition will not change.
o The draft permit requires samples to be taken at all outfalls, Final Permit #
NCS000084, issued in 2015, requires samples to be taken at outfall #2,
this is the only location on -site that falls under vehicle maintenance
activities. Page #5 table #1.
■ DEMLR response: Unless representative outfall (ROS) status is
granted, samples must be taken at all outfalls. If you wish to
request ROS, please see the instructions from our website.

I left my phone at home. The pics will clarify the secondary containment issue about discharging to the outfall #2. They
may need to send us a SOP for that activity.
The boiler blowdown should not effect the stormwater discharges. The flow is minor and infiltrates.
The used oil area is under cover, they have installed a metal barrier but it needs to be contained better as there are gaps
at the corners. Rizzo said he would continue to work on it. There is a drain in the room as well.
Recommend issuing the permit, these are issues that can be worked on. I don't think they are contributing to offsite

Vaughn,
Please see below for responses to your questions.
1. Draft Permit changes #2 — table #1 benchmarks on page 13 are mg/L, not ug/L?
The cover letter erroneously included a common changed in other permits. You may disregard this comment on
the cover letter.
1

Draft Permit Page #13 footnote #3 — on site rain gauge is required. Final Permit # NCS000084, issued in 2015,
page #5 states " An on -site rain gauge or local rain gauge reading must be recorded". I prefer government
sponsored webpage , NOAA (weather.gov) https://wl.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KILM.htmi for rainfall
totals? Draft Permit Footnote #2 on page 13, mentions "local precipitation data".
The permit requires an onsite rain gauge is required unless an isolated site is frequently unmanned. This is a
standard requirement in all stormwater permits, therefore, this condition will not change.
3. The draft permit requires samples to be taken at all outfalls, Final Permit # NCS000084, issued in 2015,
requires samples to be taken at outfall #2, this is the only location on -site that falls under vehicle
maintenance activities. Page #5 table #1.
Unless representative outfall (ROS) status is granted, samples must be taken at all outfalls. If you wish to request
ROS, please see the instructions from our website below:
Complete the Representative Outfall Status (ROS) Request Form. Mail one hard copy of the
form and supporting documents directly to the appropriate Regional Office (see form). In
addition, e-mail the form and supporting documents to Bethany Georgoulias. There is no
fee for a representative outfall status request.

Ms. Young
I have three questions on the draft.
Draft Permit changes #2 — table #1 benchmarks on page 13 are mg/L, not ug/L?
Draft Permit Page #13 footnote #3 — on site rain gauge is required. Final Permit # NCS000084, issued in 2015,
page #5 states " An on -site rain gauge or local rain gauge reading must be recorded". I prefer government
sponsored webpage , NOAA (weather.gov) https://wl.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KILM.html for rainfall
totals? Draft Permit Footnote #2 on page 13, mentions "local precipitation data".
The draft permit requires samples to be taken at all outfalls, Final Permit # NCS000084, issued in 2015, requires
samples to be taken at outfall #2, this is the only location on -site that falls under vehicle maintenance activities.
Page #5 table #1.
Thank you for your help,

Inspection Date: 10/21/2022 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The SPPP was not available until Vaught Rizzo returned to the office after lunch. He claimed the regular receptionest is
knowledgeable about the copy available in the adjacent office. Upon review of the SPPP, all elements of the permit
requirements are included and regularly updated. Spill reporting and inspection of secondary containment is found in the
SPCC. Employee training is conducted on a regular basis. The SPPP is certified yearly.
The facility needs to apply for ROS. They have been sampling Outfall #2. They have not been sampling the other three
outfalls because they do not discharge on a regular basis. Rizzo will need to document no discharge to be able to apply.
Observed the three boiler outfalls. Contacted DWR Tom Tharrington regarding any needed involvement from DWR. They are
blowndown every day, with minor amounts of discharge that soak into the ground.
Sampling results are typically non detect for COD, sometimes low on the pH (5.5).
The discharge of the secondary containment may need greater explaination. Most of the contents of the secondary
containment around the tank farm is pumped to a waste tote. They will need to document discharges of the containment to
the outfall #2 on a quantitative basis. This is not the large containment area seen on the map.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY
Listed below are significant changes over the past 5 years at the facility:
1) Installed a new blending kettle/area under the covered loading dock shed in 2013. This
new blending area is completely covered and is totally enclosed within a concrete dyke
wall. The product to be stored and blended in this area is antifreeze.
2) Installed new tank farm in 2013 containing 5 new tanks beside Building #6 for use with
the new blending area described in 1) above.
3) Discontinued the storing and packaging of DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) into drums and
totes in 2014. This product was a mixture of water and urea and was stored in an above
ground tank. This tank was moved to our Texas facility.
4) Constructed a new main office building in 2017 in close proximity to the old office
building and then completely removed the old office building. This new building
changed the pervious and impervious areas and a new site map was drawn up to identify
this.
5) Began .packaging of motor oil in Building #6 in 2017. Initial packaging was from
drum/totes into filling machine and then into quart bottles. Packaging was increased to
include 5 gallon HDPE bottles and a new oil tank farm containing 3 new tanks was
installed behind Building #6 near the railroad track in 2017. This new tank farm is
completely dyked and the pump area is completely covered. A separate SPCC plan was
developed to specifically cover this process.
6) Stopped blending and packaging of Lithium Hydroxide in Building #2 in 2016 due to
customer business decision.
7) Stopped storing Phosphoric Acid 75% in above ground storage tank in 2015 due to
volume usage and this product is now being managed/supplied in totes.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (BMPs)
1) Tanks
a) All tanks have a retaining dyke wall around them in the event of a
tank rupture or failure. The dykes are designed to hold 125% of the
volume of the largest tank in the dyke. A table listing all the tanks by
number, age, construction, and content is maintained.
b) All tank levels are checked and inventoried daily. Any major
discrepancies in the inventories are immediately investigated. Also, a
visual inspection of the piping and overall assessment of the tank farm
is performed daily.
c) Any rainwater collected in the dyked areas is checked daily. Any
rainwater collected in these dyked areas is, at a minimum, visually
observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry
weather flow, prior to being discharged. If anything other than
rainwater is present or suspected to be present as evidence from the
visual inspection, a sample is pulled and checked by the lab for pH
and other properties. If evidence of contamination is confirmed, the
rainwater shall not be discharged but rather is collected in appropriate
containers and held for further analysis. All water collected in dyked
areas is recycled back into usable product when at all possible.
d) No underground tanks on site.
2) Processes
a) All process vessels and mixing vessels have a retaining dyke wall
around them.
b) All process areas and loading areas are covered where feasible.
c) All bulk loading stations are dyked.
d) Any outside operations, such as unloading from a rail car or filling
drums from a rail car, will keep an employee or supervisor present at
all times. In addition, they will keep absorbent material readily
available in the event of any spills.
e) Sand bag material is available on site if necessary to divert rain water
from pits beneath the rail tracks.
3) Maintenance
a) Any maintenance work performed on pumps or equipment will be
done inside the shop or a covered area where feasible.
1

b) Any hydraulic oil and other maintenance fluids are collected in a
waste drum and appropriately disposed of off -site. Any process fluids
collected from maintenance work on equipment will be recycled into
product when possible.
c) It is the responsibility of the Maintenance Supervisor to develop a
preventive maintenance schedule for all equipment and forklifts.
4) General Housekeeping
a) All spills are cleaned up immediately when and if they happen. Any
spilled product is recycled back into good product when not
contaminated.
b) An inventory of spill control products are kept on hand at all times.
Absorbent material specific to oils, acids, and caustics and appropriate
neutralizing agents are used when necessary.
c) All outside areas are policed once a week for trash.
d) Dumpsters maintained on site for plant trash and garbage. Picked up
at least twice a week.
e) Cardboard and plastic items are segregated and picked up by local
recyclers.
f) Any solid fugitive material will be swept up immediately and
collected for disposal or reprocessing.
