Review of Permit Renewal — NC5000312
DART Acquisitions LLC
SIC 4953 — Hazardous Waste TSD facility.
Monitoring —The facility has been monitoring for TSS, COD and pH. Previous permit did have tier system.
o Data reviewed from 2009 through March 2018. A few parameters did show exceedances over this time
period. Also reviewed Charlotte -Mecklenburg Stormwater Services (CMSWS) data from December 2017
monitoring at the facility. All drainage from the facility goes to a cement basin at the NE corner of the
property. The basin has a gate valve and the facility releases the stormwater manually.
o TSS had two values close to the 100 benchmark but did not exceed. The CMSWS data did show a Turbidity
value of 60. Since TSS is a baseline parameter keep in the permit.
o COD only had one exceedance but given the material brought into the site the parameter should be
maintained as a potential indicator of pollution issues.
o pH values had one result above the high range of 9 and one below the low range of 6. Also a four results at
the very low end around 6. Maintain pH monitoring
o The CMSWS data also showed a Cu value above the benchmark but discussions with Chad Broadway
indicated that the result was actually low compared to what they observe regularly and he felt this was not
a result of the facility's activities or process. Chad also felt the parameters remaining where appropriate for
assessment of the facility, See emails in LF.
o Parameters remaining in the permit —TSS, COD and pH
o Tier structure adjusted to have the three levels as in current permits.
o Parameter codes added to permit.
Discussed site issues with facility contact — Scott Madix (6/4/18). Checked on contacts. He should replace James
Kreger, but keep Rick Reed and Erik Bomireto, Scott's address is the Pompano Rd address. No major changes since
2013 renewal package. Most of their activities are inside. Have loading and unloading that is exposed but areas are
contained and materials collected and go to treatment. Detention pond captures all site runoff. They release within
24 hrs after a rain event. Before release they have a check list they go through, look for sheen, particulates, etc.
Pond completely drains. Size storm detained — thinks they probably capture 95% of storms. If there is a large storm
it could overflow or they may release during the storm. Contract with a P party lab to collect samples. Coordinate
before event when they are up for a monitoring event. Asked about recommendations from CMSWS Jan 2018
letter. They did evaluate and did clean up around the site. Pond —they try and keep the pond cleaned out regularly.
Facility submitted owner change 7/17/2018. Will become effective 8/15/2018, Emailed Scott Madix and we will
hold off on issuing permit until then to avoid having to reissue to the new owner.
Facility drains to Stewart Creek in the Catawba River Basin, a class C stream. 2014 Assessment Report 11-137-1-2
shows no impairment of concern for this facility in this area. Statewide Hg listing, but this facility does not appear to
be potential source in these problems.
NC National Heritage review -- NHP report shows no aquatic resources of concern.
MRO — Draft permit to permittee, Regional Office and Charlotte -Mecklenburg Stormwater Services on June 11, 2018.
Region and CMSWS okay with permit renewal. MRO —email from James Moore on 6/28/2018.

Scot,
Just wanted to get in touch about the timeframe for the reissuance of the permit. We have completed the notice
process and could issue the permit later this week. However, I noticed in our records that your facility has recently
requested an ownership change. It looks like this change will take effect on August 151". At this point I plan to wait until
this entity is the responsible part and reissue the permit in the new owner name. If there are problems with this
approach or if there is some delay in this ownership change, let me know.
Thanks

Scott,
Thanks for working with me over the last few weeks on the permit renewal. We will be mailing out a copy of
the draft permit for your review today or tomorrow. We will then work to get it noticed in a local paper
(Charlotte Observer) within the next week. The public comment period for the notice will run through July
18th. Once you get the draft and look over it, let me know if you have any questions or comments. You will

also probably hear from staff in our Mooresville Regional Office soon to set up a site visit. Staff from
Charlotte -Mecklenburg Stormwater Services may participate as well.
Thanks

Hey Guys,
I have three permits in Mecklenburg County that I have drafted and ready for review and notice. If possible could you
schedule site visits and give us any comments you have in the next 30 days. We plan to have these noticed ready to
publish early next week. I will be sending a hard copy of the draft permits to the permitees this week. Below are the
three permits, facility contacts and links to folders in Laserfiche where you can find the draft permit and cover letter and
other application and review documents. Each of these folders includes information from Mecklenburg County on their
recent inspections of the facilities (Thank for this info Chad). There is also a summary of our review of the
materials. Hopefully you can access all of the information, but if you need me to send files attached in email, just let me

Dear Mr. Madix:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from the facility's current permit:
I. You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during "measurable
storm events" as defined in Part II, Section B. This term is different from the "representative
storm event" in earlier permits.
2. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in Part II, Section A.
3. Monitoring requirements in the draft permit have not changed from the previous permit.
Monitoring is maintained for Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and
pH. Comments from our regional office staff or other information may result in adjustments to
these requirements if it is apparent that your activities in some way may have the potential to
release other parameters.
Stormwater benchmarks remain in the permit as before. Keep in mind that benchmarks are not
permit limits, but rather guidelines for implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). A benchmark exceeclance is not a permit violation; however, the permittee must respond
to exceedances. The draft permit has modified the tiered response process for benchmark
exceedances consistent with other permits in our program. Please become familiar with the tiered
process as proper response under the tiers may be enforceable items under your permit.
Response to the tiered process may include review of onsite conditions, installation of BMPs or
requirements for more frequent monitoring.
4. Vehicle maintenance (Tables 4 & 5) monitoring parameters have been revised. Non -Polar Oil &
Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. The benchmark for Non -polar
Oil & Grease using this method is 15 mg/L. This requirement appears in all individual stormwater

permits; however, it only applies to facilities that perform onsite vehicle maintenance activities. If
the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permit cycle, the requirements shall apply. Also,
pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated with vehicle maintenance
activities.
The vehicle maintenance language in the permit has also been modified to clarify that these
activities include not just vehicles, but also other similar equipment maintenance activities that
may be exposed to stormwater. This has always been the Division's implementation of this
requirement, but hopefully the adjusted language is a little clearer about this process.
S. Language has been added under Part II Section D to address potential responses to qualitative
monitoring issues.
6. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part II, Section E to comply with federal
regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring reports. Our electronic
submittal process is not available for use at this time, but we will continue to provide feedback on
when this process will be available.
7. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal law in Part
III, Section A, 2(b) and (g).
8. The definition of Bulk Storage of Liquid Materials was revised in Part IV Definitions to omit the
language "located in close proximity to each other" as it applies to multiple above ground storage
containers having a combined storage of 1,320 gallons.
Please review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days following your
receipt of the draft. Comments maybe emailed tome at [e-mail] or mailed to my
attention at NC DEMLR, Stormwater Permitting Program,1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-
1612. With this notification the Division will solicit comment on this draft by publishing a notice in a local
newspaper. Following the 30 day public comment period, the Division will review comments and take
appropriate action prior to issuance of the final permit.
If you have any questions, please email me or call me at [phone].

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
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 111, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
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 relatbn 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 ultite receiv maing waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial
/- A f
activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving waters4are,impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site is l'ocZlv ted in ` watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what,,t 6'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 (SMPs); 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 11 Page 1 of 12

Permit No. NCS000312 DRAFT
(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 outfalis 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 flowsa Wherever practical, the
kl
permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage area,material handling operations,
and manufacturing or fueling operations. In'are s where elimination of exposure is
not practical, this review shall document the;fe'asibility of diverting the stormwater
run-on away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements:andyRecords. 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 an 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
10c
activated valves orlot her similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a
locking mechanism): -Any s11 tormwater 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) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
Part 11 Page 2 of 12

Permit No. NCS000312 DRAFT
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.
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.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good H ` sekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program sha11, a 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`unlbading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing structural,BMPs The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance, and houssekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,
as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposurd or stormwater 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 established 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 11 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
Part II Page 3 of 12

Permit No. NCS000312 DRAFT
personntiel 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.
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 ofEpllutants for the previous three
a I `;! i\
(3) years, or the notation that no spills have,oecurred (element of the Site
Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated far
the presence of non-stormwater dtscha ges(element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater
BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison ofsample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) ove�p� the pasC year uncluding a discussion about Tiered Response
status. The permittee sYYaIfuse the Divisions Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Report`(DMR)form, available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's webs to (See: https:Hdeq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-
resources/pdes n-stormwater-individual).
The Director may notify,th'e•permittee when the SPPP 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 SPPP to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part Ill, 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: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable 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 De lnitions.

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
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 SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part 111, Section E). However, for purposes

RE: DART Acquisitions, LLC; NCS000312
Dear Bradley Bennett:
N CNH D E-6043
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database, indicates that there are
no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas
within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural
heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have
been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists.
In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may
update our records.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of
natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also
included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of the project
area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance. Contact
information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https:llwww.fws, gQvlofficeslDi rectoWListOffices. cfm'statecod a=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature
Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water Management Trust Fund easement, or Federally -listed
species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butler ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.

Mr. Madix,
Thanks for talking with me a few weeks ago and for sending a copy of the renewal application for your
facility. As I indicated in the call, I will be working on this renewal process. I have a few other permits I am

drafting right now, but will probably be starting with your facility within the next week. Since the previous
renewal application came in back in 2013 I'm guessing there may be some changes that we should discuss and
possibly have documented for the renewal. In addition, here are a few additional items that would be helpful
if you can provide updates:
• 1 have attached a printout of contacts we have in our database for the facility. Can you please review
this and let me know the changes to contacts that we need to make and if the owner/facility
information is still accurate?
• We will have to work to get accurate outfall location information in our system in order to meet
federal requirements for electronic reporting. If you could provide the lat/long coordinates for your
outfall points that would be helpful.
If you can provide summary monitoring information since your application submittal in October 2013
that would be help as well.
Let me know about any changes that have occurred in your facility or processes since your application
submittal. If there have been changes that have led to site plan updates, please provide a more recent
copy of the site plan.
Once I get started on drafting the permit it may be useful for us to have conference call to talk about your site
and the renewal process.
Thanks

Summary of Best Management Practices
DART Acquisitions performs the following Best Management Practices ("BMP's") in order to
minimize the potential of sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater
discharges.
Storm water inanaged under this permit consists primarily of runoff from the paved
parking lots and roofs of the processing building and covered areas. Stormwater collected
in the facility's secondary containment systems is managed separately and processed in
DART's on -site wastewater treatment plant and discharged into the sewer system under
permit from the local POTW.
2. Incoming bulk wastes for treatment at DART are transferred to process tanks located
either inside the processing building or under cover, all with secondary containment. The
secondary containment is sufficient to contain the largest tank within the area.
3. Containerized wastes are stored in covered areas or inside the processing building and are
protected from the storrnwater. The RCIZA permitted storage areas are equipped with
secondary containment designed to contain 10% of the volume of the containers or the
volume ol'thc largest container, whichever is greater.
4. Treatment operations occur inside the processing building within secondary containment
structures.
5. DART Acquisitions conducts inspections on a routine basis as part of the RCRA permit
requirements. Inspections it the facility cover safety, housekeeping and preventive
maintenance issues. Items needing corrective action are addressed in a timely manner.
5. During normal operation, the outlet valve for the storrnwater retention basin is closed.
As €r matter of practice, the storrnwater within the basin is visually inspected for oil
sheen, color, or other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution prior to releasing the
basin to Stewart Creek.
7. DART Acquisitions maintains a written Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure
(SPCC) and Contingency plans that specifies procedures to follow in the event of fires.
explosions, or unplanned releases at the facility. DART Acquisitions also maintains, in
strategic locations throughout the facility, ernergency response equipment and supplies
required to expeditiously control spills. The equipment includes oil absorbent, sand bags,
hand tools, and personal protective equipment.
S. DA►2"f Acquisitions employees receive introductory and annual refresher training on
topics such as safety practices, personal protective equipment, housekeeping, chemical
hazard communication, and the Contingency Plan and spill response.
r
lI

The 17ollowing changes in industrial activities have occurred at the DARN Iacility since the
issuance of the storinwater permit in 2009.
In 2011 this facility was purchased from the previous owner fleritage Environmental
Services by DART Acquisitions, LI_,C,
2. In 2012 DART reactivated its wastewater treatment system for the treatment of'off=site
wastewaters from outside industrial generators and adding a new plate and frame filter
lyres for sludge dewatering capabilities.
:3. In 2012 DART applied for and was issued a wastewater discharge permit from the City
of Charlotte focal POTW.
4. DART added a new process for the shredding of outdated, oft spec, damaged or
unsalable consumer goods such as, beer, non-alcoholic beverages, obsolete or
discontinued consumer commodities; (toys, health & beauty aids, ctc).
All processing at the DART facility is conducted within secondary containment systems and in a
manner to prevent the; possible contamination of pollutants into (lie stormwater. Therefore these
changes will not have significant impact on the stormwater duality at the facility.

Robert,
Thank you for sharing your responses, but I guess I am a little disappointed. Heritage wants to work with the DWQ to
ensure that practical, reasonable solutions and implementation practices are incorporated into such permits.
Heritage has no problem with implementing a SPPP and including it as part of the permitting process, however, the
SPPP portion of the permit specifies actions and establishes regulatory conditions, or technical conditions that are
required even if they may not be necessary or warranted at the facility.
Thousands of permits have been issued in North Carolina and the Division of Water Quality has indicated that future
permits may be changed in response to our comments, yet our comments were not considered for this permit? We do
not understand this reasoning and would not have commented if we believed it was not important.
Specific comments.
With respect to recordkeeping comments and all the information being required in the SPPP, Heritage sees no reason
why a simple statement along the lines of "in the SPPP or facility records" can not be put in the permit.
(Our established practice is to have the SPPP be a stand-alone self-contained document primarily so that the
site operator is regularly reminded that NPDES sw regulations pertain to the site. Second, an inspector can
review the information easier if it is all in a single document. We don't want our inspectors directed to a file
drawer full of miscellaneous records with the instruction, "It's in there, somewhere." We require that the

permittee provide readily available documentation that establishes his compliance with the permit
requirements.)
In section II.A.9 we are unsure whether this comment is addressed in the final permit to "within a reasonable time upon
request." This language was used elsewhere in the permit.
(Th'e'purpose of an SPPP is to provide a living management tool for the on -site manager responsible for
stormwater management. It makes no sense for that on -site manager to have to go elsewhere to obtain
portions of his management tool. We require 'immediately upon request' for the SPPP because such a
requirement insures that the on -site manager has the tool he is supposed to have, and it is readily available
during an inspection.)
NCDENR Comment 5 -What happens if the facility is already designed and constructed in a manner to prevent storm
water releases? Is the feasibility study required?
(If you mean that no stormwater discharges ever occur, then our permit is not required. Or, a facility may be
eligible for No Exposure, if the physical facts bear that out, and then neither an SPPP, nor a feasibility study are
required. Under any other circumstances, an annual (at least) feasibility study looking for continuous
improvement is a permit requirement. The extent of the annual feasibility study quite possibly could be very
limited, for example, at a well -run facility. The feasibility study simply records that management has
considered potential ways to reduce exposure or polluted stormwater discharges. It frequently happens that
the implementation of specific measures is judged infeasible by the facility. That can be an acceptable
outcome of the feasibility study.)
NCDENR Comment 11 - Just to clarify, the sampling event must meet the following two criteria to be a representative
sample:
1) The discharge must be sampled within 30 minutes of opening the valve on the detention basin to release the storm
water, and.
2) The discharged water that is sampled needs to include storm water that is accumulated in the detention basin from a
qualifying storm water event as determined by a site rain gauge or local weather information.
(For 2 above, the discharge water sampled includes stormwater and any other material that may be there
mixing with the stormwater at before or during the rainfall.)
NCDENR Comment 18 -The permit is not consistent with the federal regulation. Heritage is simply asking that the permit
conform with the federal regulation, nothing more or less.
(DWQ considers the requirements as within our delegated authority to implement a program that, at a
minimum, is at least as stringent as the federal requirements.)
Thank you. I will be happy to discuss these issues by telephone,

Heritage views this section as a guidance document for updating the current SPPP at the facility.
Heritage is concerned that some of the requirements specified may not be applicable or warranted

/.
for the facility and failure to follow the specific requirements specified will result in an alleged
violation of the NPDES discharge permit simply for not containing every single element identified
in Part II. Heritage believes that there should be a statement in the permit stating that this section

II.A.2.(a)
Heritage is a RCRA permitted Treatment, Storage and Disposal facility operating under the strict
requirements for such a facility in North Carolina that has been operating under a NPDES
stormwater permit for a number of years. We are concerned about the relevance of a feasibility

study for this facility as there are already numerous structures and processes in place to prevent
exposure to stormwater. We are uncertain of the NCDENR's expectation of scope and content
pertaining to such a study.

II.A.2(b)
Heritage desires that clarification be added to the text indicating that this section applies only to
tanks (as those devices are defined) containing the designated materials and not containers (e.g.,
tankers, roll -off boxes) as that term is generally defined under RCRA are not -considered to be
within the scope of the section. Heritage is very concerned that materials even solids will be
subject to secondary containment under this section and will significantly interfere with the
facility operation without any environmental benefit. We are also concerned that the definitions
pertaining to materials that require secondary containment in the this section has the potential to
require a facility to have secondary containment for virtually any and all liquid materials
(including water) and the definition and requirements presume that the facility is not complying
with these requirements at this time based on a compliance schedule specified in Part 11I.1 of the
era -tit. As a responsible environmental management company, eritage would like to understand

the specific regulatory requirements including(North Carolina regulatory citations that require
such secondary containment at the facility (as opposed to good management practices). In
addition, a requirement to have a locked manual valve structure inside a facility with limited
access and a chain link fence and barbed wire should not be required as stated in the permit.
Heritage requests that this requirement be removed from the permit. -- A10

II.A.3
Heritage currently operates following a RCRA Contingency Plan reviewed and approved by the
NCDENR for hazardous waste and a SPCC plan certified by a North Carolina registered
professional engineer. This permit requires yet another plan to address spills for the facility as it
pertains to stormwater. Heritage believes the plans in place for addressing releases of hazardous
waste and oils at the facility is more than adequate under the circumstances and a new, separate
plan to administrate is not necessary. Heritage has no objection to referencing these plans in the
SPPP, but developing and implementing an additional plan to administrate is burdensome.
Heritage requests that this portion of the permit be revised accordingly. INGL.Lt i> f SPce- W

II.A.3
Given the nature of the facility operation, it will be impossible for a responsible person to be
present on -site at all times during facility operation. By way of example, a Heritage employee
could arrive late in the evening or leave early in the morning to drop-off or pick-up a consignment
and a responsible person may not be present. Heritage requests that this requirement be removed
in its entirety from the permit. —NU

II.A.4
Heritage desires to understand the last sentence in the section. Heritage is uncertain whether the
inspection schedule or the results of the actual inspections are to be recorded in the SPPP. If the
actual inspection results are to be placed in the SPPP, then Heritage desires that the last sentence
be removed from the permit.

II.B.Table 1.
Heritage has the ability to control stormwater discharge from the facility by means of concrete
spill control/detention basin. Heritage is requesting that NCDENR provide clarification on the
sampling requirement as identified in Footnote 4. Is discharge sampling required within the first
30 minutes of a discharge event from the detention basin coupled with the requirement that a
sample be collected during a representative storm event? Alternatively, is the discharge from a
detention basin required within the first 30 minutes of the storm water disc har a event irrespective

(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 th&'Superf ihd 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_suchfftanks and stored materials and their associated secondary
containment rcasshall be maintained. 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 closed 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 listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMP) 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 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 11 Page 2 of 10

Permit No. NCS000312
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 the team) 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 the potential to
contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials assbeiated 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.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A,preventative
maintenancc and good housekccping programis. all;bc devcloped. The prograin shall list
all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent
surface waters and wetlands, industrial activityareas,(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 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 far-stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution.
Inspection of material handling, ra eas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall
.�
be incorporated into the program.,\Timely compliance with the established schedules for
inspections, maintenanc'; and housekeeping shall be recorded in writing and maintained
in the SPPP. /(
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. Facility personnel (or team)
responsible for implementing the training shall. be identified, and their annual training
shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual
update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the
previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall
include re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence
of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shal I include a re-evaluation of the

effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP Summary of the Stormwater Management
Plan.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan 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 Plan to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 5) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
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 daysrseparating inspection

Permit No. NCS000312
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 representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). .
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours. I'y;

Subject: Draft NPDES Storinwater Permit
Permit No.'NCS000312
Heritage Environmental Services, LLC
Mecklenburg County
Dear Mr. Hogarth:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit fox 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 this facility's current permit:
Analytical monitoring changes:
1. Analytical ionitoring parameters have been added to this permit. They include COD, TSS, and•pI-1.
2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in
Part 11 Section B. The'permittee' must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge
occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow"
within 30 days of:the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a
minimum of 60 days'apart, as specified in Table 2.
3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have.been added to this draft permit. 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. If the sampling results
are above a benchmark%value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the
facility shall follow the Tier 1'guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and
implementation of a mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling
results are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a
specific discharge outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines
which require a repetition ofthe steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring
for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two
consecutive samples.
4. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part H Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative
outfall status.
5. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and
5.
6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter
is in this permit, however.)

7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in all Individual.Stormwater permits, however it only
applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the
permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply.
Other permit changes: -
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants, in
i
each outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of
significant spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been '
inspected to ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is
provided in Part II Section A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
More details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section
A. The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the
outfalls do not contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft 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 Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements.
Additional information is provided'in Part I Section A. _
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 [phone].

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 representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins,again within the
next 10 hours.„'

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: a,;, .
• RCRA Permit
2. General Observations:
• One of the three loading/unloading areas shown on the site plan is not covered.
• Most all of the site is under cover.
• The entire site appears to drain to a single outfall at the northeast corner of the property. It is all
captured by a concrete basin with the valve closed. After a rain event the water is visually inspected before
it is'released to the stream.
3. Impairment: Not on 303d list. Watershed subject to a TMDL for turbidity approved February 8, 2005; and a
TMDL for fecal coliform approved March 28, 2002.
4. Threatened and Endangered: None.
5. Industrial Changes_ Since Previous Permit: 5 tanks that were in the building were closed. They stopped doing
ww treatment of inorganic wastewater, which eliminated the need for certain ww treatment reagents.
6. Analytical Monitoring Notes: None required in last permit term. 'Mecklenburg county did do some sampling in
February 2002, which is provided.in the application package. Copper and Zinc were above the current
benchmark, but are hardness dependant. Iron was slightly above the benchmark. Chromium was right at the
benchmark. Copper, Zinc, Iron, and Chromium are not in the EPA Sector -Specific permit. The EPA Sector -
Specific permit includes monitoring for Ammonia, Magnesium, COD, Arsenic, Cadmium, Cyanide, Lead,
Mercury, Selenium, and Silver, ' Most of these were below detection limits or well below the current benchmark,
so they°are not added to the analytical monitoring. Magnesium and Cyanide were not tested for.
7. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Performed as required. Water most of the time had a brown color, with leaves
and/or pollen floating. Suspended solids were noted to be minimal. I
.
Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Add COD, pH, and TSS to the analytical monitoring parameters. TSS added due to TMDL for turbidity. COD
added due to various possible chemicals on site and it is in the EPA sector -specific permit. Based on the site
configuration and monitoring done by the county, the other parameters in the EPA sector -specific permit are not
being added. If MRO goes out to the site and feels otherwise based on the site visit, then the parameters can be
added.
2. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II
Section B, The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs
during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days
of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart,
as specified in Table 2.
3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. 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. If the sampling results are above a
benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall
follow the Tier I guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a
mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the
benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall
two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of
the steps listed for Tier I and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall
where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.
4. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part 11 Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative
outfall status.
Page 3 of 5

i
NCS000312
5.. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each
outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant
spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to
ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part 11 Section
A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More
details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not
contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and
activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR §I22.26(g), the facility may qualify
for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information
is provided in Part I Section A.

Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000312. This permit expires
on April 30, 2007. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) requires that an application for
permit renewal be tiled at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. In order to assure your continued
coverage under your permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit.
To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed
you will find an individual permit renewal application form, supplemental information request, and Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan certification.
Filing the application form along with the requested supplemental information will constitute your application for
renewal of your permit. As stated above, the application form must be completed and returned along with all
requested information by in order for the permit to be renewed by April 30, 2007.
Failure to request renewal by may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties may be
assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without
coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could
result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Mike Randall of the Stormwater

' The benchmark values of some metals are dependent on water hardness. For these parameters, permittees must
determine the hardness of the receiving water (see Appendix J, "Calculating Hardness in Receiving Waters for
Hardness Dependent Metals," for methodology), in accordance with Part 6.2.1.1, to identify the applicable `hardness
range' for determining their benchmark value applicable to their facility. The ranges occur in 25 mg/L increments.
