PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by
the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide�a descricption of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that may beexpectod to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overvie�ivshall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle maW%appropriately drafted equivalent
Ad
map), showing the facility's location i lre anon to transportation routes and surface
waters; the name of the receiving Ovate s to which the stormwater outfalls
discharge, or if the discharge is to a nicipaI separate storm sewer system, the
m H
name of the municipality and theultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the points of sarmvater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general location mad (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 sites located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and wlat 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 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.
Part II Page 1 of 10
Permit No. NCS000166
(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 ecdnomic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to rainfall and run,flowsNherever 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 docume it the,feasibility of diverting the stormwater
run-on away from areas of potential contion.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk stora e of hqu d materials; storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (BABA) water
"
priority chemicals; and'storage�n any amount of hazardous substances. in order to
prevent leaks and spils from`centaminating Stormwater runoff. Atable or summary
of all such tanks and �toredmaterials 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, outfail 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.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of 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 BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
Part II Page 2 of 10
Permit No. NCS000166
3. 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 oil 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,414
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good HouseWeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program`sR I be developed and implemented.
The program shall address all stormwater control sysms (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, anhaul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing structural B�IPs The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance, and housekkeeping activities of stormwater control systems,
s..
as well as facility equipment,`f�cllityareas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposure orstorrnater pollution where not already addressed under
another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the esta" §' ed schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
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 II B, C, and D 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
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 SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible
for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Part II Page 3 of 10
Permit No. NCS000166
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP
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 SPPP 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 sto, wate outfallg have been evaluated for
the presence of non-sturinwatel disUhui.ges (el' e r t of dire Site Overview),
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater
BMPs (BMP Summary element of theme stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sari, analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the past year, mcludi g a discussion about Tiered Response
status. The permittee shall uses', ivision's Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Report (DMR)formavailable from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's webs""te,(See `.Monitoring Forms' here:
The Director may notifythe permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements bf the,permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee
shall submit a time scheelulefo the Director for modifying the SPPP 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. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater.
Implementation of the SPPP 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
BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities.
Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon
request.
SECTION B: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more
than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year
Part II Page 4 of 10
Permit No. NCS000166
shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 1. All analytical
monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater
discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas,
and in accordance with the schedule presented in Table 2 (Section B).
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.

this permit is revoked or rescinded. 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 measureable 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.
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

within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms 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.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase
management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below 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.

Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all 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 fourth analytical results;
Then: The Division may but is not hmrted to
• require that the permittee remise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all of the parameters here2i;
• require sampling of q itional,o substitute parameters;
� • require the permittee to mstallstructural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee Complement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts
on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion;
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process.
This site discharges to a tributary of the Roanoke River, which is experiencing problems
with low dissolved oxygen. A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) was approved for this
section of the Roanoke River drainage basin. As such, the permittee is required to monitor
for COD and BOD and may be required to monitor for additional pollutant(s) of concern in
the future. The Division will consider the monitoring results in determining whether
additional BMPs are needed to control the pollutant(s) of concern to the maximum extent
practicable.
If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be
required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a
timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

Permit No. NCS000166
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) 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 as
specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee
is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per thetQualitative Monitoring
Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adv*# veather conditions must be
documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualltative onitorif g Report form (see
Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs disc ha gmg storrnwa%r associated with
industrial activity must be monitored (See Defimtios)

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 BMPs are
ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement
those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below.
A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be
kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.

Dear Mr. Lowther:
I am submitting this letter and the accompanying information as a formal request for the renewal of our
stormwater permit #NCS000166. Please find enclosed the appropriate application forms and duplicate
copies. The only significant change in our industrial activities is that the Rendering facility is now owned

stormwater collection system is in place to capture site runoff and transport it to our WWTP.
I hope this request meets with your approval, and if you have any questions regarding this renewal,
