COC No. NCG030504
Dear Mr. Bennett:

In accordance with our Stormwater General Permit No. NCG030000, this letter is to inform you
that after four measurements, we have exceeded our Tier 2 Requirements and are in Tier 3 of
our permit.
We have performed upstream (Alternate; FL -ALT) and downstream monitoring (SDO-001 &
SDO-002) to characterize the impact on our receiving waters. SDO-001 was chosen as it
minimizes the number of outfall points at our facility and an early first flush sample would not
typically include the off-site flow. Data collected in our third party (Jim Frei of'Stormwater
Services Group) sampling events support we are receiving stormwater from South Saunders
Street (FL -ALT) that exceeds the benchmarks set forth by NCDENR/DEMLR.
We have also taken Best Management Steps that include sweeping the parkirig lot, removing .
trash & debris, installing basin inserts in our storage, receiving & shipping areas to filter metals.
We have also installed drain tags that say "No Dumping — Drains to River". With all of these
BMPs in place, we are seeing Copper and Zinc measurements lower in our discharges than in
the off-site runoff flowing into our outfalls. Copper BMV is extremely low and may never be
achievable in an urban environment with several off-site sources of Copper contributing to run-
off.
I am asking for a waiver from the monthly monitoring to allow us to continue to operate. We will
continue to have our Copper, Lead, Zinc, Oil & Grease, and TSS measured twice per year. I
will also continue to send you copies of our reports twice per year.
Sincerely,
&Vw, ol-611'eW
