Nexeo Solutions, LLC
Charlotte, NC
Facility Activities and Process - SIC 5169 - Chemical Distribution. Haz. Waste Treatment/disposal. Facility stores,
blends, repackages and distributes hazardous materials, flammables, caustics, solvents, etc.
Monitoring —The facility has been monitoring for TSS, O&G, COD, Toluene, Xylenes and pH. Previous permit did
have tier system.
o Data from 2010 — 2017 (in renewal app and DMRs) shows no benchmark exceedances.
a Propose to remove O&G, Toluene and Xylene.
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.
Discussions with Facility — 8/28/2018 email to Ed Graves, Mike Trull and Amy Bauer to try and set up call to discuss
renewal. Response back from Chris Byerman on 8/28/18 — set up call for 9/4/18. Chris provided contact update
information to get database up to date.
9/4/18 Call with Chris Byerman and Amy Bauer (Consultant). Facility has not had any changes in process or materials
that could change the stormwater permit. There have been some contact changes and they will provide information
on the changes. We discussed the changes to expect in the permit including removal of some parameters from
monitoring and the other general changes along with the permit issuance for a short cycle (through 2021). Asked
facility reps to review the changes to the site plan that have removed outfalls 007 and 008 and verify what happened
there. Also asked for information on the containment basin, how it is set up, when it discharges, etc. Followed up
with email on these issues on 9/5/2018 (see email on second page). Chris also noted that facility is inspected
monthly by DWM staff and that information on possible pollutant sources can be found in the Toxic Release
Inventory (TRI) reports.
Surface Water Information - Facility drains to Stewart Creek in the Catawba River Basin, 11-137-1-2 , a class C
stream. 2016 Integrated Report does not list Stewart Creek as impaired. Does ultimately flow to Irwin Creek which
has some impairment issues for turbidity and lead. Current permit does note the Irwin Creek impairment.
NC National Heritage review — NHP report shows no aquatic resources within project area or within one mile of the
project boundary.
Regional Office Information - MRO — Draft to region and to CMSWS on 09/19/2018 by email. MRO approval through
email on 10/22/18, site visit done on 10/17/18. Talked with James on 11/5 about outfalls at the site and he verified
outfalls and that they were sampling 001 as approved in the previous permit (by settlement agreement) and that
this location captured the industrial area sufficiently. This will be changed in the final permit and noted in the cover
letter that they only need to sample 001 as before. Had waited on this pending information on some outfall
locations. James indicated that the pipes that were previously noted as outfalls 007 and 008 drained to a grass area
and sheet flowed.

Chris and Amy,
Thanks for talking with me yesterday about the Nexeo facility in Charlotte and the renewal process. I just wanted
to send an email as a reminder about the two items we discussed at the end that you guys were going to get us
more information on.
• Outfalls 007 and 008 that appear on the site plan in the renewal application but are not on the site plan
that Chris forwarded recently?
• Containment Basin - It would be helpful to get a little more information on the function of this basin.
Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks for the info James. It looks like you have communicated directly with them and they are going to email you the
results. Could you forward the results to us when you get them. Also, do you feel that these four outfalls will be the
ones they should be monitoring? If so, we will need to get locations for the outfalls (lat/Long) so we can update the
outfalls in BIMS.

Subject: Four Permit Renewals in Mecklenburg County
Hey Guys,
I have four more Mecklenburg County stormwater permit renewals heading to public notice. These will all appear in a
public notice in the Charlotte Observer on Friday Sept 21st and the comment period will run through October
215t Please take a look at the draft permits at the Laserfiche links below and let us know if you have any

questions/concerns. It would be helpful if you could schedule a site visit for each facility and check these out if possible
over the next 30 days. The Laserfiche links have the draft permit and cover letter and other information that is part of
the renewal file. Let me know if you need any other information or have any problems accessing the files. Below for
each I have included some areas for review.
NCS000040 — Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Co. —1335 S. Clarkson St.
https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Stormwater/Browse.aspxx,?id=720757&dbid=0&repo=WaterResources
This facility probably needs some review of their outfall locations. They have some areas where they have questions
since at least one outfall (005A) doesn't get much flow. The facility continues to have some issues with some metals
(Cu, Pb and Zn remain in the permit).
NCS000049 — IMG Resins USA, Inc. — 3300 Westinghouse Blvd.
https://edocs.deg,nc.gov/Stormwater/"Browse.aspx?id=720887&dbid=0&repo=WaterResources
One big issue with this facility relates again to outfalls. Back in 2010 there was an inspection that found that a perimeter
swale around the facility may instead be a stream segment. They had been monitoring the Swale. We asked them to
instead monitor an outfall to the swale. After talking with them I think this really needs to be worked out at the
site. The correspondence'from before is in the Laserfiche folder.
NCS000304 — Gerdau Ameristeel US, Inc. — 6601 Lakeview Rd.
htt s: edocs.de .nc. ov Stormwater Browse.as x?id=706112&dbid=0&re o=WaterResources
This facility has a number of ponds onsite and they capture and use a lot of stormwater in their industrial process. The
ponds are pumped from on to another until it gets to the North pond which feeds into their industrial process use. They
also have a closed loop wastewater recycle system. Process water apparently doesn't comingle with the stormwater but
probably a good idea to check that. The stormwater outfalls appear to only discharge when there are larger storms that
lead to overflow from the ponds (they indicated 2yr storm or more). They want to continue monitoring one outfall (4)
as representative. Probably worth reviewing this to make sure it is okay. Look at the review material in the files along
with the documents they provided. They describe their stormwater flow pretty well and give some maps that help
also. There was an issue in a 2013 inspection about potential dry weather flow from their landfill and they never
responded to the regional office's request to provide info on this. The current staff have indicated that they feel that all
of the leachate is properly collected and the flow was from surface runoff that takes a while to work its way to the
outfall. Probably worth check on this also.
NCS000315 — Nexeo Solutions, LLC — 3930 Glenwood Rd
https:Hedocs.deg.nc.gov/Stormwater/Browse.aspx?id=721118&dbid=0&repo=WaterResou_ rces
Take a look at the review document in the Laserfiche folder. There were some questions we asked that we haven't
heard back on yet. Related to two outfalls that were removed from the most recent site plan and getting more
information on the containment pond onsite and how it functions, when it discharges, etc.
Sorry for the long email. Hope it is some help. Let me know if you have any questions. My time here as a temp is
winding down. I should be here through a good bit if not all of October, so hopefully we can get these moving toward
issuance before then.
Thanks!

Subject: Draft N PDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000315
Nexeo Solutions, LLC
Mecklenburg County
Dear Mr. Byerman:
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:
1. You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during "measurable storm
events" as defined in Part 11, 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 11, Section A.
3. Monitoring requirements in the draft permit have changed from the previous permit Monitoring is
proposed for Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and pH. Based on monitoring
results reported the Division has determined that these parameters are appropriate for assessing potential
impacts from your discharge. Monitoring results from the previous permit cycle for Oil & Grease, Toluene
and Xylenes have been consistently below the benchmark values. The draft permit proposes to remove
these parameters from the permit. Comments from our regional staff or other information may result in
maintaining these parameters or adding other parameters if it is apparent that your activities in some way
have the potential to release them through stormwater runoff.
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 exceedance 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 maybe 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 11 Section D to address potential responses to qualitative
monitoring issues.
6. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part 11, 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.
9. To address workload issues in the Stormwater Program we are working to have similar numbers of
individual permits for renewal over each of the next five years. In order to accomplish this some of our
permit renewals will be issued for time periods shorter than the usual five year cycle. Your permit renewal
is proposed to expire in 2021.
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 brad] [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],

Permit No. NCS000315 DRAFT
PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: INDIVIDUAL PERMIT COVERAGE
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration,
the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity.
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 Exclusion from NPDES
stormwater discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No
Exposure Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (NOI) form to
the Division; must receive approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions
unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must 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

Permit No. NCS000315 DRAIN
PART Il 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:
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 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.

Permit No. NCS000315 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 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 111, 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) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
4

Permit No. NC5000315 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,
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 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 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 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 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

Permit No. NCS000315 DRAFT
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.
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 ofsignificant 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 stormwater
BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample 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://deq,nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-]a»d-
resources/n des-stormwater-individual).
The Director may notify the 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 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.

Permit No. NCS000315 DRAFT
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 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.
The benchmark values in Table 1 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for
implementation of the permittee's SPPP. 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 (no -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.

1 Measurement Frequency: 'Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly
sampling) during a measurable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or until
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 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.
5 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 SPPP 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.

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.
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.

Permit No. NCS000315 DRAFT
Tier One
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any
parameter at any outfall;
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. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations
within the benchmark range.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection.
5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. 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.
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.
Tier Two
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 specific 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 parameter. 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.
S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process.
Tier Three
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
Then: The Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all of the parameters herein;
• require sampling of additional or substitute parameters;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls,
• require the permittee to implement 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.

Permit No. NCS000315 DRAFT
This site discharges indirectly to impaired waters experiencing problems with Copper,
Lead and Zinc. If a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is approved for this segment of
Stewarts Creek, the permittee may be required to monitor for the pollutant(s) of concern in
the future and submit results to the Division. 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.
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
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 SPPP 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 SPPP.

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 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.
:.. n ualitadve Monitoring Response
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP 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, the
Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some
or all parameters (analytical or qualitative)
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement 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.
SECTION D: SPECIAL CONDITIONS
ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS [G.S.143-215.1(b)]

Hello, and first let me apologize for how long it has taken us to get going on your permit renewal. A number of issues
over the last few years have led to a backlog on renewal of our Individual permits. I would like to set up a time where I
can call and talk with you, or other staff as appropriate, about the renewal. I will be working on this process. Since the
previous renewal application came in back in mid 2014 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 other 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 if there are changes to contacts and if the owner/facility information is still accurate? — See
updated information
• Federal regulations changed in the last few years to require electronic reporting of data. We are not yet at the
stage of being able to collect stormwater data this way, but we will have to work to get accurate outfall location
information in our system in order to meet federal requirements for electronic reporting when our systems can
handle the data. If you could provide the lat/long coordinates for your facility's outfall points that would be
helpful. — I don't see the lat/long coordinates in the file, I'll see if ESH Support has or can get them
• If you can provide a summary of monitoring information since your application submittal in June 2014 that
would be help as well. —Semi-Annual sampling has continued as required under the expired permit
• I am very interested in any changes that may have occurred in your facility or processes since your application
submittal that could affect pollutants discharged in stormwater runoff. — No changes in the facility operations
or layout
• If there have been changes, a new site map showing the most up to date layout of activities, outfalls and
drainage will be needed. — No changes, current storm water management diagram attached
I work part time and I am generally in the office three days a week (Monday —Wednesday). Maybe we can find a
day/time soon that works to talk. I will be in today and tomorrow (Wed 8/29) for this week. Next week Monday is a
holiday and then I will be in Tuesday through Thursday (9/4 -- 9/6).
Thanks for your help!

Subject: Revised NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NC5000315
Ashland Distribution
Mecklenburg County
Following our site visit to the Ashland Distribution facility on August 26, 2009, the Stormwater
Permitting Unit (SPU) has revised the requirements of the appealed NPDES permit as attached based
on site observations and discussions with Ashland personnel. The revised permit contains the
following proposed changes:
1. The number of stormwater outfalls covered under the permit has been reduced to one (1)
outfall associated with industrial activity. Approximately seven (7) outfalls were observed at
the facility, however, the drainage area feeding Outfall 001 captures the hazardous waste
portion of the site and presents the largest exposure potential.
2. Analytical and qualitative monitoring requirements apply only to Outfall 001 which drains the
area around the hazardous waste storage area. It is suggested that Ashland continue visual
monitoring of all stormwater discharge outfalls as part of the stormwater pollution prevention
plan in place at the facility.
The revised permit contains no other changes from the appealed permit except that Table 2 dates
have been updated to reflect a new effective permit date. Monitoring parameters, frequency and
duration remain the same.
We feel that the revised permit limits the cost, time, and energy burden placed on Ashland to the
maximum extent practicable while still protecting water quality at the site. Additionally, the revised
permit is equitable to those already in place across the State including approximately 2,500 general
permits and nearly 100 individual permits. Each of these permits contains components similar to
those in Ashland's permit (e.g. analytical monitoring requirements, semi-annual schedule,
benchmarks, tiered system, etc).
We appreciate the opportunity to visit the site and commend Ashland on maintaining a weal -kept
facility. If you have any questions or comments concerning permit revisions, please contact Cory
Larsen at [phone] or Ken Pickle at [phone].

Bradley Bennett

Category (iv): Hazardous waste treatment -stoiage or disposal facilities.
20. if the primary SIC code of a facility is not covered under the regulations,
but there is a hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facility
(TSDF) on site, is the TSDF subject to storm water permitting
requirements?
A. Yes. If the hazardous waste TSDF is or should be operating under interim
status or a permit under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA), regardless of -the facility's primary activity, the
storm water discharges from that portion of the -site are subject to the
narrative definition of storm water discharges associated with industrial
• activity under category (iv). Even if a facility's SIC code is not included in
the regulations, any activity .described by 6ne of the narrative categories of
"industrial activity" that is occurring on, the site would be regulated under
the storm water program. SIC cafes-961-,41.S; (!1j(���)(vr vr�r)(X1) 4acAe122,26(4)(4)
Category (v): Landfills, land application sites and open damps that receive
industrial waste.
21. At what point does an inactive, closed, or capped landfill cease being an
. Industrial activity?
A. An inactive, closed or'capped landfill is no longer subject to storm water
permit application requirements when the permitting authority determines
the land use has been altered such that there is no exposure of significant
materials to storm water at the site. For example, if an impervious surface
(such as a parking lot or shopping center) now covers the closed landfill,
the permitting authority. could determine that storm water discharges from
the area are no longer associated with the previous landfill activit These
determinations must be made by the permitting authority on'a­Ca!w-by-
case basis.
22. If construction of cells at a landfill disturbs greater than five acres of land
is coverage under EPA's construction general permits required?
A. No. EPA considers construction of new cells to be routine landfill
.operations that are covered by the landfill's industrial storm water general .
permit. However, the storm water, pollution, prevention plan for the landfill
must incorporate best management practices (BMPs) that address
sediment and erosion control., Where a new landfill is being constructed

Dear Mr. Larsen:

Tel: [phone], Fax: [phone]
www.ashland.com
Ashland Inc. (Ashland) would like to thank you for the opportunity to comment on the draft
NDPES Stormwater Permit issued by your office. Overall, the permit is what we anticipated;
however there are a few specific items we are requesting to modify.
I. Part I1, Section A, Paragraph 5.
This section requires that annual training be documented by the signature of each
employee trained. Ashland uses on-line training to meet many of our regulatory training
requirements. Each employee must log in to the system with their unique ID number and
password. At the end of the training class, the employee must pass a test on the subject.
Completion of the training and test scores are maintained electronically. A sign in sheet
is used and employee signatures are collected only when group training is performed.
Ashland would like to propose the following language for the final sentence of paragraph
five "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 or recorded in Ashland's electronic training system."
2. Part II, Section B -- Analytical Monitoring Requirements
Ashland requests that this section be removed completely, or at least limit the outfalls to
which it applies. Only outfall 001 is associated with an activity that requires a storm
water permit under 40 CFR 122.26. Outfall 001 collects stormwater from the area near
the hazardous waste storage building. All hazardous waste is stored on a raised, bermed

concrete pad covered with a canopy. The hazardous waste containers are not directly
exposed to storm water.
The remaining outfalls are associated with chemical distribution, SIC code 5169, which is
not subject to permitting requirements under US EPA or NC DENR regulations.
Ashland requests that the first paragraph in Section B state that only outfall 001 must
have analytical monitoring conducted.

Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on the draft permit. If you have any questions,
or need additional information, please contact me at 614-790-4277 or via e-mail at

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000315
Ashland Distribution Co.
Mecklenburg County
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 this facility's current permit:
Analytical_ monitoring changes:
1. Analytical monitoring parameters have been added to this permit including total suspended solids, --
chemical oxygen demand, oil & grease, toluene and total xylenes.
2, pH has been added to the analytical monitoring'requirements.
3. 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.
4. 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 of the 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.
5. You are required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of
representative outfall status.
6. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued.. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy, (The total rainfall
parameter is in this permit, however.)

Permit No. NCS000315
8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring (if applicable) 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 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 my attention at the address listed at the bottom of page 1. If no adverse
comments are received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in approximately two
months.
Also enclosed please find a Representative Outfall Status (ROS) Request Form as requested by facility
personnel during the site inspection. If ROS is desired, the completed request form must be mailed to the
Mooresville Regional Office for their review. Please note if ROS is granted, all outfalls are still subject to
qualitative monitoring per permit requirements.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at [phone] or
[e-mail].

NCS000315
Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
L Adding parameters...
a_ TSS — to monitor for solids and provide quantitative gauge of color/clarity of discharge noted on visual
monitoring summary. Turbidity 'fMDL in place downstream as well;
b. O&G — rationale is that facility has heavy truck traffic as a distribution plant and O&G associated with
large trucks may need to be monitored;
c. COD — this parameter should be a good indicator of general organic compounds picked up by
stormwater as it runs offsite.
2. pH added.
3. All analytical monitoring set to semi-annually.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring and Tiered monitoring system added to this draft permit.
5.. Analytical and qualitative monitoring required during representative storm events. Qualitative monitoring
required regardless of representative outfall status.
6. Flow reporting replaced by total rainfall parameter.
7. Vehicle maintenance monitoring revised to semi-annually.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
1. See draft permit for full details.
Discussions with permittee: Linda Denison, 614-790-4277, 10/17/2008, 10/27/08
1. Q: Is 5159 your correct SIC code?
a. ANSWER: 5169 is correct.
2. Q: Can you please provide a description of facility activities?
a. ANSWER: This facility is involved in chemical distribution of solvents which includes blending and
repackaging components for customers. No manufacturing occurs at this facility.
3. Q: What kinds of solvents are onsite?
a. ANSWER: The facility handles 100's of types of solvents. Some chemicals include but are not limited
to peroxides, acetone, hexane, toluene, MEK, naphthalene, ethers, etc.
4. Q: What chemicals are stored outdoors?
a. ANSWER: Most chemicals are stored under roof in warehouses. Chemicals stored outside such as in
the tank -farm have concrete bermed secondary containment sized to hold 110% of tank volume plus
the water volume of the 25-year 24-hour storm. Everything outside has secondary containment per
SPCC requirements.
5. Q: How many total outfalls are onsite?
a. ANSWER: The facility now has seven separate stormwater outfalls.
6. Q: How much vehicle maintenance is performed onsite?
a. ANSWER: Some maintenance is performed on a small fleet of trucks resulting in less than 55 gal/mo
of new motor oil usage.
7. Q: How does the facility receive/distribute chemical shipments?
a. ANSWER: Mainly by truck. Rail not used often anymore.
8. Q: How much haz waste is stored onsite?
a. ANSWER: A small shed is utilized for haz waste storage. The facility is a permitted as a large
quantity HW generator.
9. Q: Are there any sources of lead onsite or any lead additives in solvents handled there?
a. ANSWER: No lead product is handled in the process area. Any HW containing lead is not exposed.

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' ti I '."''"'•�
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.

Ashland Distribution Co
Permit Number NCS000315
Mecklenburg County
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit.NCS000315. This permit expires
on December 31, 2006. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) requires that an
application for permit renewal be filed 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 July 7, 2006 in order for the permit to be renewed by December 31, 2006.
Failure to request renewal by July 7, 2006 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
Permitting Unit at [phone], ext. 545.

SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a
minimum, the following items:
Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan 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 water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s) discharges, 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 point(s) of discharge.
(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.
(c) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas
and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each
outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing
BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants
which could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill
impacts.
(e) Certification 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 Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
Part II Page 1 of 4

Permit No. NCS000315
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to storrriwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment
for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority
chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and spills from
contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall be
secured with a locking mechanism] and any stormwater that accumulates in the
containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall
staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated
stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years. .
(c) BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities
of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site
stormwater specific. Therefore, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may
not be sufficient to completely address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common
elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment
Part II Page 2 of 4

Permit No. NCS0003I5
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
5. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and
preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in 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.
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. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
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 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
8. Facility Inspection Program. Facilities are required to inspect all stormwater systems on
at least a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once in the
spring (April - June). The inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities
performed shall be documented, recording date and time of inspection, individual(s)
making the inspection and a narrative description of the facility's stormwater control
systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these inspections shall be
incorporated into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part II of this permit shall
be performed in addition to facility inspections.
9. Implementation. The permittee shall document all monitoring, measurements,
inspections and maintenance activities and training provided to employees, including the
log of the sampling data and of activities 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 years and made available to the Director or his
authorized representative immediately upon request.

SECTION B: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 1. Qualitative
monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests
are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls does not need to be performed during
a representative storm event.
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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan.
All qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and
once in the fall (September - November).

Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000315. This permit expires
on May 31, 2001. 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 supplimental information will constitute your application for renewal of your permit.
The application form must be completed and returned along with all requested information by December 31, 2000
in order to constitute a timely renewal tiling.
As of January 1, 1999, legislation modified the fee structure for DWQ permits. Renewal fees have been eliminated
and annual fees have been changed. The new annual fee for your permit is now $715.00 (you will be invoiced at a
later date for your annual fee.) A copy of the new fee schedule is enclosed in this package.
Failure to request renewal by December 31, 2000 may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. 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

pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater
discharges. The site plan shall contain the following:
(1) 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 water(s) to which the stormwater outfalI(s)
discharges, 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 point(s) of discharge.
(2) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes,'and
waste disposal practices.
(3) A site map drawn to scale with the distance legend indicating location of industrial
activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas and loading
and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each outfall and
activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations and impervious surfaces,
and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious. For each outfall, a
narrative description of the potential pollutants which could be expected to be
present in the stormwater discharge.
(4) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill
impacts.
(5) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in

description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the
exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and nonstructural
measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall incorporate the
following:
(1) A study addressing the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods
of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials
and processes to stormwater. Wherever practicable the permittee shall cover all
storage areas, material handling operations, manufacturing or fueling operations to
prevent materials exposure to stormwater. In areas where elimination of exposure
is not practicable, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
(2) A schedule to provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials,
storage of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, or storage of hazardous
materials to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. If the
secondary containment devices are connected directly to stormwater conveyance
systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other
similar devices [which shall be secured with a locking mechanism] and any
stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually
observed for color, foam, and visible sheens, prior to release of the accumulated
stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated. 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.
(3) A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to
be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease separation, debris control,
vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater detention or retention, where
necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be based on the assessment of
potential of sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater x�
discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. w
r)
(4) Inspection schedules of stormwater conveyances and controls and measures to be `"
taken to limit or prevent erosion associated with the stormwater systems.

2. Minimum_ Monitoring and Reporting Requirements
Minimum monitoring and reporting requirements are as follows unless otherwise approved in
writing by the Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
a. If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater
discharges that are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for
representative outfall status. If it is established that the stormwater discharges are
substantially identical and the permittee is granted representative outfall status, then
sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced number of outfalls.
b. Visual monitoring for color, odor, solids, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry
weather flow shall be performed at all stormwater discharge outfall locations. All visual
monitoring shall be documented and records maintained with the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The initial visual monitoring event shall be performed simultaneously
with the first analytical monitoring event and documentation of only this initial visual
monitoring event shall be submitted along with the required analytical monitoring submittal.
c. For purposes of the stormwater sampling required in this permit, all samples shall be 4b
collected from a discharge resulting from a representative storm event (See Part II,
Standard Conditions, Section A). Failure to monitor storm events in accordance with the
specified frequency shall constitute a violation of this permit. If the stormwater runoff is
controlled by a detention pond, the following sampling requirements shall apply:
(1) If the detention pond detains the runoff generated by one inch of rainfall for 24
hours, visual observations for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens, and dry
weather flow are required, but analytical sampling shall not be required.
(2) If the detention pond discharges only in response to a storm event exceeding a 25-
year, 24-hour storm (See Part II, Standard Conditions, Section A), the pond shall
be considered a non -discharging stormwater control system and not subject to
NPDES requirements, unless the discharge causes a violation of water quality
standards.
d. Samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this permit shall be submitted on forms
provided by the Director no later than January 31 for the previous year in which sampling
was required to be performed.
e. Analytical results from sampling during the final year of the permit term shall be submitted
with the permit renewal application.
f. This permit regulates stormwater discharges. Non-stormwater discharges which shall be
allowed in the stormwater conveyance system are:
(1) All other discharges that are authorized by a non-stormwater NPDES permit.
(2) Uncontaminated groundwater, foundation drains, air -conditioner condensate
without added chemicals, springs, discharges of uncontaminated potable water,
waterline and fire hydrant flushings, water from footing drains, flows from riparian
habitats and wetlands.
(3) Discharges resulting from fire -fighting.

Permit No. NCS000315
If the storm event monitored and reported in accordance with this permit coincides with a
non-stormwater discharge, the permittee shall separately monitor and report all parameters
as required under the non-stormwater discharge permit and provide this information with
the stormwater discharge monitoring report.
g. Specific Stormwater Monitoring Requirements
The specific stormwater monitoring requirements includes visual monitoring of stormwater
samples. Specific monitoring requirements are defined below.
(1) Visual Monitoring
Visual monitoring requires a qualitative visual inspection of each stormwater outfall, regardless
of representative outfall status, for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater
pollution. No analytical tests are required. Visual monitoring of stormwater outfalls does not
need to be performed during a representative storm event.

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Discharge Individual Permit Application
Ashland Chemical Company, Charlotte, NC
Dear Mr. Mills:
Ashland Chemical Company is pleased to submit an application for an individual NPDES permit -
for our facility at 3930 Glenwood Dr. in Mecklenburg County. Check #7122258 for the
application fee of $400 is also enclosed. This application is for only the discharge of stormwater
associated with industrial activity at the site. Wastewater from the facility's elementary
neutralization unit is discharged to the city's POTW under a separate permit.
We have identified two stormwater outfalls on the property -- both are on the east end of the site
and discharge to a wooded hillside, then via a ditch to the city storm sewer. Current weather
conditions have precluded us from obtaining acceptable analytical data for the stormwater
discharge at this time; however, as soon as conditions allow we will be taking stormwater samples
at the site and will submit them to your attention when the analytical results are available. As I -,z.
stated in a letter dated January 5, 1995 to Ms. Coleen Sullins, we do not believe the samples takenv
by Mecklenburg County to be representative of the facility's stormwater discharge; therefore, then
results should not be used for determining the conditions of the facility's permit. Furthermore, we
would like to conduct sampling at only Outfall 002, as we believe Outfalls 001 and 002 to be 0"
significantly similar. The stormwater discharged from Outfall 001 is collected in a catch basin at
the northeastern side of the site. The area which drains to this catch basin includes the roofs of the
two warehouses and one other building, as well as the parking lot and office areas. Operations in
this section of the site are limited to loading and unloading of product containers from truck trailers
to and from the warehouses. There is a series of three catch basins associated with Outfall 002.
These catch basins collect stormwater from the southern and eastern parts of the site. This is the
area in which the vast majority of operations occur, including the loading and unloading of
containerized hazardous wastes. Because of our excellent housekeeping practices, we do not
anticipate that sampling of the stormwater outfall will reveal appreciable amounts of any
constituents of concern, but it is clear that a sample representative of the regulated activity at the
facility may be obtained by sampling only Outfall 002.

RE: NPDES Stormwater Permit Application
Ashland Chemical Company
3930 Glenwood Drive
Mecklenburg County
Dear Ms. Sullins:
This is in response to your letter, dated December 1, 1994 to Mr. Mike Trull ofr'jo
Ashland Chemical Company's Charlotte 'facility regarding preparation of aC
individual NPDES permit application for stormwater discharge. rn
to
Your letter stated that the completed application forms were to be submitted within
30 days. However, your letter was not received at Ashland's corporate
Environmental, Health & Safety Department (EH&S) until December 14, 1994. Due
to the subsequent holiday and vacation period, it was not possible to begin preparing
the application until January. I placed several telephone calls to your staff contact
between December 14 and December 22 to discuss a submittal date, but was
unsuccessful in reaching them. Therefore, this serves to inform you that I anticipate
the application will be completed and submitted to you no later than
February 15, 1995.
Your letter also stated that we could submit group sampling data in lieu of conducting
stormwater sampling and analyses, since Ashland Chemical had participated in a
group application. We will evaluate this option to determine if it would be
appropriate for us. Furthermore, your letter stated that if Ashland chose

not to furnish any stormwater data, you would use the stormwater data furnished by
the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Health (County). This data
was obtained from samples collected by the County on February 5, 1994. In a
telephone conversation with Mr. Steven Kelly of the County on October 26, 1994,
Mr. Kelly told me that these samples were collected from a drainage ditch outside of
the east fenceline of Ashland's property. Therefore, it is likely that this data is not
representative of Ashland Chemical's stormwater discharge as stormwater runoff
from our property would not be the sole contributor to this ditch. For this reason,
Ashland Chemical respectfully believes that the use of the County sampling data to
fulfill the stormwater sampling and analysis requirements for the permit application is
inappropriate.
Should Ashland Chemical decide to conduct stormwater sampling and analysis for the
purpose of the NPDES discharge permit application, we will perform this as soon as
possible. Stormwater regulations specify weather conditions that define a qualifying
rain event for the purpose of obtaining valid samples. For this reason, we cannot
guarantee that the data will be available for inclusion in the permit application by
February 15, 1995. However, we will submit the application by that time and follow
up with the analytical data as soon as it is available.
Further written correspondence regarding the stormwater permit application for
Ashland's Charlotte facility should be submitted directly to me at the letterhead
address to avoid internal handling delays. Thank you for your cooperation in this
effort. I look forward to working with your staff during the permitting process.-
Should you have any questions or wish to discuss this issue, please call m " M
at (614) M9-4414.

Pumps used for loading and unloading bulk materials are kept in contained areas. The truck rack
is covered and is enclosed on two sides. The bays of the truck rack are curbed to contain de
minimus spills and leaks. The enclosed sides and roof prevent stormwater from entering the truck
rack.
Bulk materials are stored in aboveground storage tanks. Both the solvent tank farm and the
corrosive materials tank farm are curbed and completely contained. Blend tanks and holding tanks
are also completely curbed. Piping is inspected regularly. The drumming area is located inside the
warehouse. Containerized products are stored in covered areas. Only empty drums are stored
outside.
The hazardous waste storage area is covered and has curbs around each of its four bays. The
opportunity for stormwater to come into contact any product containers is minimal.
Herbicides have been used by the facility one time. This application occurred in mid-1994. The
herbicides were applied along the north and east fences of the site and along the railroad spur on
the south side of the property.

Dear Mr. Trull:
Based upon information furnished to our Division from the Mecklenburg County Department
of Environmental Protection, and your involvement in the group application process for NPDES
stormwater discharge permits, we intend to proceed with issuing an individual NPDES permit for
your stormwater discharge(s). Each applicant must furnish this Division a completed application
form and permit application filing fee. The application forms (Form 1 and Form 2F) are attached.
You must fill out these forms and submit them to our Division along with a check for $400 made
payable to the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources (DEHNR).
Since your company participated in a group application, you may submit the group sampl"ift
data for the storm discharge instead of conducting stormwater sampling and analyses on your
discharge for that part of the application requirements as provided for in Form 2F, Sectid3 VIh If
you wish to submit any additional stormwater data, you may do so. If you chose not to furfif sh
any stormwater data, we will use the stormwater data furnished to us by Mecklenbufg; County
Department of Environmental Health (copy attached for your information). In any casegou mAist
complete the attached forms -and submit them to our office within the next.30 days. Cn
If you have any questions, please contact Bill Mills at [phone].
Sincerely,
