Dear Mrs, Connt:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No-Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting form..Based on your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above
referenced facility, the Division is granting your conditional exclusion from permitting as provided for under 40
CFR 126.22(g), which is incorporated by reference in North Carolina regulations. We are also hereby
withdrawing your current renewal application for permit coverage number NCS000119.
Please note that by our acceptance of your no-exposure cert'sfication, you are obligated to maintain no-
exposure conditions at your facility. If conditions change such that your facility can no longer qualify for a no-

Subject: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
Stormwater Permit Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NCS000119
Unichem, Inc. —Alamance County
Dear Ms. Conn:
On November 25, 2008, Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Stormwater Permit
Inspection at Unichem, Inc. located at 916 West Main Street in Haw River, North Carolina. This
facility holds Stormwater Permit No. NCS000119 under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) to discharge Stormwater from industrial activities located at this
site. As Environmental Coordinator for the facility, you'were present for the inspection. This
type of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in-office review of facility files and self-
monitoring data and an on-site inspection of the facility's discharge. This particular inspection
evaluated five (5) areas, and observations from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
The permit became effective April 1, 2005 and expires March 31, 2010. A copy of the permit
was available for review during the inspection.
2. Records/Reports
As required by the Permit, the facility has a complete Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP) that was available for review during the inspection. The SPPP appeared to be thorough
and complete, including a location map of the outfalls and a site plan listing potential stormwater
pollutants and best management practices used at the site. The plan is reviewed and amended
on an annual basis. Employee Training of the SPPP occurs on an annual basis.
3. Facility Site Review
It was determined during the visual inspection of the property that a condition of No Exposure
exists at this facility. All chemicals and materials at the facility are covered by a storm resistant
shelter to prevent exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and runoff. Used pallets are stored outside
on a temporary basis while awaiting pick-up for disposal: The only other items outside the
facility are a covered dumpster, an air compressor, and a propane tank. Therefore, it is
recommended that you apply for a No Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting. A No Exposure application is attached to this letter should you choose
to proceed in that direction. If you wish, please complete and send the application to:

4. Effluent/Receiving Waters
Stormwater from the property discharges to Haw River (Class C, NSW) in the Cape Fear River
Basin. One outfall exists on the property, which accepts Stormwater from the roof drains and
the employee parking lot.
5. Self-Monitoring Program
The stormwater permit requires semi-annual qualitative monitoring and quarterly/annual
quantitative monitoring-at stormwater outfalls. An on-site review of the monitoring data during,
the inspection showed that visual inspections have been performed on a regular basis.
However, you are delinquent in your analytical monitoring. Should you apply for and receive No
Exposure Certification, your facility would be exempt from all monitoring requirements. On-site
vehicle maintenance monitoring requirements at the site are waived regardless, since these
activities are not performed on site.
Please be aware that the failure to comply with monitorinq requirements is a
violation of the General Permit. Therefore, this inspection report is a NOTICE OF
DEFICIENCY. In order to avoid receiving a NOTICE OF VIOLATION you are required to
either apply for a No Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater
Permitting or comply with the permit re uirements as stated above and in the permit text.
Please refer to the attached report for further details from the inspection. If you have any
questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at [phone].

Permit No. NCS000119
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan 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
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
a. Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
b. Secondary Containment Schedule. 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 substances 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 (which shall be
secured with a locking mechanism] and any stormwater that accumulates in the
containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall
staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated
stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years.
C. BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
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 to contribute significant quantities
of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on-site at all times during facility
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site
stormwater speci ic. Therefore, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may
not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common
elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit NCS000119
Unichem,Inc.
Alamance County
Dear Ms.Conn:
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 your current permit:
• Quarterly Total Nitrogen(TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) monitoring is required in the first
year, and then annually For years 2-4. This monitoring is required because the facility discharges
to a stream classified as Nutrient Sensitive Waters(NSW). If the data demonstrate this site is not
a significant source of TN and/or TP, the facility may submit the first year's monitoring results
and request a minor modification to remove TN and/or TP monitoring from the permit.
• Total Flow monitoring has been removed;however, please note the permit still requires Total
Rainfall amount and Rainfall Event Duration be recorded for each sampling event. This change
is based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits. Also,
the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SPPP)site map must include drainage area for each
outfall in acres and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part 11,Section
A).
• TMDL(Total Maximum Daily Load) language has been added to Part II,Section B (below Table
2.)because this site discharges to an impaired water body. No monitoring based on a TMDL is
required at this time,but if a TMDL is approved for the Haw River, this site may be asked to
monitor for pollutants of concern in the future. The Division is incorporating TMDL language
into all stormwater permits that discharge to impaired waters.
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.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit,contact me at(919) 733-5083 x 529 or
[e-mail].
