Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this 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 Certification from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Certification must: • Submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (NOI) form to the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (Division) • Receive approval by the Division, • Maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater permit, and • Recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually. SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system that has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this permit. Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval. The stormwater discharges allowed by this permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards. This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.

The SWPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SWPPP is public information in accordance with Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SWPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following: (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls . discharge, 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 points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303 (d) list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameters of concern are. (b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; Stormwater Control Measures (SCMs); stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. Page 3 of 29 Permit No. NCS000330 (e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3. 2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, 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 rainfall and run-on flows. 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, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on away from areas of potential contamination. (b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism). 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 any material. 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 (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers. (c) SCM/BMP Summary. A listing of structural Stormwater Control Measures (SCM) and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) on site shall be provided. Page 4 of 29 Permit No. NCS000330 The installation and implementation of SCMs and/or BMPs shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The SCM/BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site SCMs and/or BMPs. The SCM/BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with.the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an ail Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) 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. 4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural SCMs and non-structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under another element of the SWPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SWPPP. S. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part 11 B and C of this permit. 6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill Page 5 of 29 Permit No. NCS000330 response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 7. Responsible Party. The SWPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SWPPP. Responsibilities for all components of the SWPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided. S. SWPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SWPPP whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SWPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include: (a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview); (b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site SCMs and BMPs (SCM/BHP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy). (d) a review and comparison ofsample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Program's website (See: https:l/deq.nc..gov/about/divisions/energy-- mineral-land-resources/npdes-stormwater-individual). The Director may notify the permittee when the SWPPP 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 SWPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. 9. SWPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the SWPPP and all appropriate SCMs and BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SWPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement SCMs and BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall Page 6 of 29 Permit No. NCS000330 be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made available to the Division immediately upon request. SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measurable storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions). A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfalL The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 1. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install SCMs and BMPs in a tiered program. See the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or duration. The benchmark values in Table 1 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for implementation of the permittee's SWPPP. An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this permit is a violation of permit conditions. Please note that the parameters in the last two rows in Table 1 (non -polar oil and grease and new motor oil usage) are only required for outfalls that discharge runoff from vehicle or equipment maintenance areas in which more than 55 gallons of new motor oil and/or hydraulic oil per month is used when averaged over the calendar year.

If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division. 2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measurable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. S This parameter is only required for outfalls that discharge runoff from vehicle / equipment maintenance areas in which more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month is used when averaged over the calendar year. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two" response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SWPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part III, Section E). However, for purposes of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results from the first sample with valid results within the monitoring period. Page 8 of 29 Permit No. NCS000330 Table 2. Monitoring Schedule Semi -Annual Monitoring Events1,2 Start Date (All Years)3 End Date (All Years)3 Period 1 January 1 June 30 Period 2 July 1 December 31 Footnotes: 1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit. 2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" or "No discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period. 3 Monitoring periods remain consistent through the permit term and through the renewal process. The first sampling period begins in Period 2 on January 1, 2020. Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit conditions may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported. 'Fable 3. 1'ier Une Kepuirements If any parameter at any outfall is above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for the first valid samwmR res Then the permittee shall: 1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling results. 2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance. 3. Evaluate and select specific source controls, operational controls, and/or physical improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameter(s) of concern and bring concentrations within the benchmark range. 4. Implement the selected controls/improvements within two months of the inspection. S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SWPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedance, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented. Note: A benchmark exceedance triggers a Tier One response for each parameter. Page 9 of 29 Permit No, NCS000330 Maple 4. -l-ier Two Requirements If the first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no discharge) are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a s ecif c discharge outfall; Then the permittee shall: 1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One. 2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all analytical monitoring parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range. 3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements. 4. 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. 5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SWPPP. 6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal_pmcess. Table S. Tier Three Requirements If the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results; Then the Division may, at minimum, require the permittee: • Revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for some or all of the parameters herein; • Sampling of additional or substitute parameters; • Install structural stormwater controls; • Implement other stormwater control measures; • Perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; • Implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion; • Continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal Rrocess. This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with benthos, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, and water temperature. If the Division institutes further actions, which may include the development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for this segment of Richardson Creek, then the Division will consider your monitoring results in determining whether additional SCMs and/or BMPs are needed to control the pollutant(s) of concern to the maximum extent practicable. If additional SCMs and/or BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be notified in writing and required to (1.) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate SCMs and/or BMPs, and (2) submit a timetable for incorporation of those SCMs and/or BMPs into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Page 10 of 29 Permit No. NCS000330 SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the SWPPP and identify new potential sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event. Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SWPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions). In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SWPPP. Table 6. Qualitative Monitoring Requirements Discharge Characteristics Frequencyl Monitoring Location2 Color semi-annual SDO Odor semi-annual SDO Clarity semi-annual SDO Floating Solids semi-annual SDO Suspended Solids semi-annual SDO Foam semi-annual SDO Oil Sheen semi-annual SDO Erosion or deposition at the outfall semi-annual SDO Other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution semi-annual SDO Footnotes: 1 Monitoring Frequency: Twice per year during a measurable storm event unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly monitoring. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods. The permittee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal process until a new permit is issued. 2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) regardless of representative outfall status. A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit. If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater SCMs and/or BMPs are ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the Page 11 of 29 Permit No. NCS000330 permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response in Table 7. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the SWPPP. 'able 7. Qualitative Monitoring Response Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SWPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, then the Division may, at minimum, require the'permittee: • Revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some or all parameters (analytical or qualitative); • Install structural stormwater controls; • Implement other stormwater control measures; • Perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on receiving waters; or • Implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion. SECTION D: SPECIAL CONDITIONS ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1(b)] Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program reports.

Annual Administering and Compliance Monitoring Fee Requirements The permittee must pay the administering and compliance monitoring fee within 30 (thirty) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee in timely manner in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b)(2) may cause the Division to initiate action to revoke the permit. Page 19 of 29 Permit No. NCS000330 SECTION C: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS 1. Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit [40 CFR 122.41(e)]. 2. Need to Halt or Reduce Not a Defense It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit [40 CFR 122.41(c)]. 3. Bypassing of Stormwater Control Facilities Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass unless: a. Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; and b. There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary control facilities, retention of stormwater, or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime or dry weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and C. The permittee submitted notices as required under, Part 111, Section E of this permit. If the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above, the Director may approve an anticipated bypass after considering its adverse effects. SECTION D: MONITORING AND RECORDS Representative Sampling Samples collected, and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Analytical sampling shall be performed during a measurable storm event. Samples shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge. All samples shall be taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points as specified in this permit shall not be changed without notification to and approval of the Permit Issuing Authority [40 CFR 122.410)]. Recording Results For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this permit, the permittee shall record the following information [40 CFR 122.41]: a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements; b. The individual(s) who performed the sampling or measurements; C. The date(s) analyses were performed; Page 20 of 29 Permit No. NCS000330 d. The individual(s) who performed the analyses; e. The analytical techniques or methods used; and f. The results of such analyses. 3. Flow Measurements Where required, appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. 4.
