Mr. McRae,
Please see attached. I've completed your form and circled the column on the lab report under results. I also attached a
copy of the generic Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) form for the analytical monitoring and a copy of the form for
the qualitative (visual) monitoring. You'll need to write in the parameters in your permit on the generic DMR, then
transfer the monitoring results to the DMR, sign it and mail it to Raleigh at the address on the form. Be sure to keep a
copy for your records. You also need to complete the other form for the visual monitoring and keep for your records.
You do not have to mail in the visual monitoring form.
If you have any questions or need any further assistance, please contact me.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NC5000291
McRae Woodtreating incorporated
Montgomery County
Dear Mr. McRae:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for 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:
I. Analytical monitoring parameters, Arsenic, Chromium, Copper, Ammonia, BOD, COD, TSS and pH,
have been maintained in this permit.
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 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.
4. 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.
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. Monitoring for TPH has replaced Oil & Grease. 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 1I Section A.
More details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part 11
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 I1 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 g122.26(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.
6. In addition to submitting two signed copies of DMRs to Central Files, a separate signed Annual Summary
DMR copy must be submitted to the local DWQ Regional Office by March 1 of each year.
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.

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: None
2. General Observations:
• The plant switched from CCA (chromated copper arsenate) to ACQ (alkaline copper quaternary)
treatment in February 2004. The tanks and cylinders were cleaned, and the CCA was shipped off -site to a
lumber plant still using that treatment chemical. The drip pad is covered, curbed and bermed, and the water
is directed to a pit and then to a holding tank, where it is recycled back into the treating plant. (from 2005
staff report by BG)
3. Im aairment: The facility's stormwater eventually discharges to Big Branch, which in not on the 2010 303(d) list
of impaired streams. The 2008 Yadkin- Pee Dee Basinwide Plan does not reference the receiving stream or have
specific references for industrial stormwater discharge but does have a section that covers the Subbasin HUC
03040104 where the facility is located. No specific recommendations were made in the plan.
4. Threatened and Endangered: Based on the Natural Heritage virtual workroom there were no federally protected
species within two miles of the facility. The Villosa delumbis (Eastern Creekshell) has a State Protection Status
of Significantly Rare.
5. Location: unnamed tributary to a C Stream
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: No changes since the last permit was issued.
7. Analytical Monitoring otes.: None submitted with application. The previous permit required monitoring for
Arsenic, Chromium, Copper, Ammonia_, BOD, COD, TSS and pH. After contacting the permittee a monitoring
result was sent for Arsenic, Chromium, Copper that was taken on 1114/10. The value for Copper was over our
current benchmark and both Arsenic and Chromium were detected.
The 2008 EPA Multi -Sector general permit for Sector A recommends monitoring for Total Arsenic and Total
Copper for SIC 2491, Wood Preserving. .
BOD5 and COD have been added to other timber treated sites in our program because high levels of these
pollutants in surface waters were found along the properties of timber facilities. Therefore, COD and BOD5
have been added to the renewal permit.
All previous monitoring has been maintained in the draft permit because very little data has been submitted in
the past and all could be potential pollutants on the site.
8. Oualitative Monitoring Notes: None submitted with application.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Maintain monitoring for parameters: Arsenic, Chromium, Copper, Ammonia, BOD, COD, TSS and pH.
See rationale above.
2. All analytical monitoring remains at 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. 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.
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.
5. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued." See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5:
6. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
7. Annual summary DMR will be due to RO in March of every year.'
Discussions with. permittee: Stimpson McRae, (910) 439-62$1, 9/14/10
1..' There was no analytical or qualitative monitoring submitted with the application. Do you have any from your
expiring permit? Permittee said they didn't take any samples from last year but should have some from
previous years. He misread the renewal application and thought he didn't have to submit them. He said he
would send in what he has for the analytical monitoring and visual monitoring.
-Permittee sounds like he could use sonic education about the permit. -I tried to discuss some of the monitoring
requirements and he keep saying statements that showed he didn't understand or misunderstood the requirements.
Even when he submitted a sample it was" for only 3 of the $ parameters.

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 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.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)

Part 1I Page 2 of 10

Permit No. NCS000291
person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have thdpotential 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. The program shall list
all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent
surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas,

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.
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 in writing and maintained
in the SPPP.
S. Employee Training. Training prograrirts shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basiss-far 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 contamIEinrate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel (or team)
responsible for implementingrthe training shall be identified, and their annual training
shall be documented Iby 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

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 written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been
evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. Each annual update shall
include a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the BMPs listed in the BMP
Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan.

As mentioned in item 4 the only storm warter is from roofs and
just plain gound water from the rain. No water from our pad
runs off the premises.
We collect samples from 3 to 4 different areas where water runs
off the property.
Our last storm water sample was 02/15/08.

Answer to question #4
Our covered drip pad is curbed and bermed. It also slopes so any
water getting on it can run into a trough that empties into a pit
This water is then pumped into a holding tank which we recycle
into the treating process.
If the weatherman is calling for severe rain we are very careful

Answer to question #2
As mentioned in item 4 the only storm warter is from roofs and
just plain gound water from the rain. No water from our pad
runs off the premises.
We collect samples from 3 to 4 different areas where water runs
off the property.
Our last storm water sample was 02/15/08.
Our last inspecpection by NC dept of agri. was March 2010.

Answer to question #4
Our covered drip pad is curbed and bermed. It also slopes so any
water getting on it can run into a trough that empties into a pit
This water is then•pumped.into a holding tank which we recycle
into the treating process.
If the weatherman is.calling for severe rain we are very careful
to be sure our holding tank is empty so if any rain blows in or
runs in on the pad the tank will be able to hold it.
We are very EPA minded here. Our used oil and anti -freeze is
picked up by a recycling.company. The .hazardous waste is picked
up by a hazardous waste company. We never carry wood that has
been treated to our yard until it is completely drip free. We
never ship wet or dripping wood.
We chech our pad regularly -for cracks or any other problems.

NCS000291
Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: None
2. General Observations:
• The plant switched from CCA (chromated copper arsenate) to ACQ (alkaline copper quaternary)
treatment in February 2004. The tanks and cylinders were cleaned, and the CCA was shipped off -site to a
lumber plant still using that treatment chemical. The drip pad is covered, curbed and bermed, and the water
is directed to a pit and then to a holding tank, where it is recycled back into the treating plant. (from 2005
staff report by BG)
3. Impairment: The facility's stormwater eventually discharges to Big Branch, which in not on the 2010 303(d) list
of impaired streams. The 2008 Yadkin- Pee Dee Basinwide Plan does not reference the receiving stream or have
specific references for industrial stormwater discharge but does have a section that covers the Subbasin HUC
03040104 where the facility is located. No specific recommendations were made in the plan.
4. Threatened and Eiidangcred: Based on the Natural Heritage virtual workroom there were no federally protected
species within two miles of the facility. The Villosa delumbis (Eastern Creckshell) has a State Protection Status
of Significantly Rare.
5. Location: unnamed tributary to a C Stream
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: No changes since the last permit was issued.
7. Analytical Monitoring, Notes: None submitted with application. The previous permit required monitoring for
Arsenic, Chromium, Copper, Ammonia, BOD, COD, TSS and pH. After contacting the permittee a monitoring
result was sent for Arsenic, Chromium, Copper that was taken on 11/4/10. The value for Copper was over our
current benchmark and both Arsenic and Chromium were detected.
The 2008 EPA Multi -Sector general permit for Sector A recommends monitoring for Total Arsenic and Total
Copper for SIC 2491, Wood Preserving.
BOD5 and COD have been added to other timber treated sites in our program because high levels of these
pollutants in surface waters were found along the properties of timber facilities. Therefore, COD and BOD5
have been added to the renewal permit.
All previous monitoring has been maintained in the draft permit because very little data has been submitted in
the past and all could be potential pollutants on the site.
8. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: None submitted with application.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Nlonito •ring:
1. Maintain monitoring for parameters: Arsenic, Chromium, Copper, Ammonia, BOD, COD, TSS and pH.
See rationale above.
2. All analytical monitoring remains at semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part 11
Section B. The pennittee 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. 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.
4. The permittee is 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.
5. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal pernhit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
6. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
7. AnnuaI summary DMR will be due to RO in March of every year.
Discussions with permittee: Stimpson McRae, [phone], 9/14/10
1. , There was no analytical or qualitative monitoring submitted with the application. Do you have any from your
expiring permit? Perindlee ,said thev didn't take arty samples from lcrs•t year but should have sorrre from
previous years. He misread the renew -al application and thought he didn't have to submit rhe»l, He said he
xvuld send in it -hat he hasfor the analytical monitoring and visual monitot-ing.
-Permittee sounds like he could use some education about the permit. I tried to discuss some of the monitoring
requirements and he keep saying statements that showed he didn't understand or misunderstood the requirements.
Even when he submitted a sample it was for only 3 of the 8 parameters.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000291
McRae Woodtreating, Inc.
Montgomery County
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for 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 frequency for all parameters has changed to semi-annual (once in the
spring and once in the fall). This change reflects the Division's revised strategy for renewal
permits and makes stormwater sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring.
Semi-annual monitoring is in both Sections B and D (Vehicle Maintenance) of Part II. Please note
that sample results must be reported for each stormwater discharge outfall.
• Total Ammonia as Nitrogen (NH3-N), and pH monitoring have been added in Part II, Section B
of the permit because this facility now uses a quaternary ammonium compound in its treating
process. In addition, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
monitoring have been added because of the process changes at this facility.
• The Division has incorporated benchmark values into the permit These benchmarks are not
permit limits but should be used as guidelines for your facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SPPP). If any measurements exceed benchmark values, your facility should evaluate the
effectiveness of its Best Management Practices (BMPs), review and/or update its SPPP, and
document any efforts to address stormwater contamination (see Part 11, Sections B and D).
• Total Flow monitoring has been removed. The permit still requires Total Rainfall amount and
Rainfall Event Duration be recorded for each sampling event. This change is also based on the
Divisions revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits. Please note that the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) site map must include drainage area for each
outfall in acres and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part H, Sec. A).

of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
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 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.

SECTION C: 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 4. 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 is performed when stormwater
discharge occurs but 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.

NPDES Stormwater Permit
Facility Name: McRae Woodtreating, Inc.
NPDES Permit Number: NCS000291
Facility Location: Mt. Gilead, NC (Granville Co.)
Type of Activity: Industrial —Wood Treatment Plant
SIC Code (if applicable): 2491 (Wood Preserving)
Receiving. Streams: _...__ UT to Big Branch,. index no. 13-16-5
River Basin: Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin, Sub -basin 03-07-10
Stream Classification: C
Proposed Permit Requirements: See attached draft permit.
Compliance Schedule: N/A
Basis for Monitoring: See attached Monitoring Data Analysis. Retained monitoring for all
current parameters, based on monitoring results and potential
contaminants. BOD, ammonia, and pH added because of treatment
chemical change. Company switched from CCA to ACQ in 2/2004,
but monitoring for Arsenic (As) and Chromium (Cr) should continue
until enough data to support discontinued sampling for these metals
(residual?). Copper (Cu) is still present in the treatment solution, and
Ievels were over the benchmark for this industry. Total Suspended
Solids (TSS) concentrations were above EPA's multi -sector permit
benchmark for this industry. Ammonia monitoring included because
ACQ is a quaternary ammonium compound, along with pH
(important to interpreting ammonia data). Also recommend COD and
BOD5 monitoring for this permit (ammonia exerts oxygen demand).
All monitoring has changed to Semi -Annual (spring and fall). This
change is based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater
monitoring in renewal permits and makes stormwater discharge
sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. In
addition, DWQ has incorporated benchmark values into the permit.
These benchmarks are not permit Iimits but should be used as
guidelines for the facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). New language in the permit specifies that if any
measurements exceed benchmark values, the facility should evaluate
the effectiveness of its BMPs, review and/or update its SPPP, and
document any efforts to address stormwater contamination (see Part
11. Sec. B & D).

Analytical &Qualitative Monitoring Results summary
Yadkin -Pee Dee Basinwide Plan (rev. March 2003)
Central Office Review Summary:
The facility's stormwater is eventually discharged to Big Branch, which is not on the 303(d) list of impaired waters.
The Yadkin - Pee Dee River Basinwide Plan does not make specific recommendations for industrial stormwater
dischargers in this sub -basin, which is primarily forested. Mt. Gilead straddles sub -basin 03-07-15, where water
quality is generally excellent.
This plant switched from CCA (chromated capper arsenate) to ACQ (ammoniacal copper quaternary) treatment in
February 2004. Tanks and cylinders were cleaned, and the CCA was shipped off site to a lumber plant still using
that treatment chemical. The drip pad is covered, curbed, and bermed, and water there is directed to a pit and then
to a holding tank, where it is recycled back into the treating process.
Analytical Monitoring: See attached monitoring analysis. Renewal application claimed that the site sampled four
times, but results for only three. samples submitted. (Should have sampled several more times). Also, uncertain
about how or where samples are coIlected... map indicates three locations, but only one set of results for each date;
is permittee collecting a "composite" sample and having that analyzed? Unclear, even after discussing with
permittee (Mr. McRae wasn't sure how lab did analysis either...?). Combining three bottles for analysis may dilute
concentrations of one or more "outfalls;" not so sure numbers here are for one SDO, all combined, or what. Also,
no Flow, or rainfall event amounts or durations reported. No visual monitoring results submitted.
Maximum Arsenic Ievels were close to the benchmark based on water quality criteria (0.34 µg/1) and well above
the benchmark for this industry (0.16854 µg/l, from the EPA Multi -Sector Permit). Chromium levels were below
the benchmark, but not much data ---and collection methods not clear. These metals should be monitored because
residual may still be on site (the highest arsenic value was recorded after ACQ treatment began), but recommend
removing upon renewal if levels consistently below benchmarks. TSS levels were high (> 600 mg/1) in at least one
sample, and copper remains a potential contaminant. The EPA benchmark for Cu has been incorporated into the
permit, but future reviewers might consider levels above our stormwater benchmark if water quality impacts are
observed.
Ammonia and pH monitoring added in the draft permit; ACQ is a quaternary ammonium compound, and NH3 is a
potential chemical discharge (see Environment Canada's National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) information
at http://www.ec,gc.ca/pdb/npri/2002puidance/Wood2002/section4e e.cfm, accessed 7/28/05). Revieweralso
recommends BOD5 monitoring (ammonia can exert an oxygen demand).
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) could be a pollutant of concern. Other chemicals or byproducts of ACQ from
the treated wood may leach into runoff from the uncovered lumber storage area on the property —reviewer
recommends monitoring COD for the next permit term since this site has switched treatment chemicals.
Recommend removing BOD and COD monitoring in the future if levels are below benchmarks.

NCS000294
Follow-up with the company contact (Stimpson McRae, 910.439.6281) on 12/ 10 and 12/ 16/2005 re: additional
information re: following questions.
How are samples collected and analyzed? Three locations indicated on the map, but only one result for
each date?
Not sure how the lab does analysis (Aqua Source is the company?). They collect three bottles at the
site, and he submitted everything he got back from the lab to us.
The bulk of the water is at both entrances where trucks come and go, and by the railroad tracks.
Quarterly monitoring was not done last year.
6 No visual monitoring recorded?
Staff regularly "visually monitor" areas indicated on map (see 12/13/05 letter). (No records?) (Per
12/ 16/04 call, permittee said they have to be especially vigilant because of septic lines near the gate.)
Recommendation: Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on October 4, 2004
and additional information received December 16, 2004 is sufficient to issue an Individual Stormwater Permit.
Mr. McRae needs additional help understanding his sampling requirements and procedures, especially with new
requir6rhdht"s'f0r pH; BOD, etc. in the draft permit. This company appears to make genuine efforts to prevent
stormwater contamination and regularly inspects areas where runoff leaves the property, but these inspections are
not recorded, and analytical sampling records and methods have been unclear and incomplete. From phone
discussions, the Permittee does not seem to have a good grasp on stormwater permit or SPPP requirements. Does
the Region have any other recommendations ors guestions for this renewal?

Re: NPDES Permit Renewal Application
.Permit Number NCS000291
Dear Bethany:
Enclosed please find the lab results from three years of monitoring our storm water run off. The
results shown are from samples taken from three Iocations. I have also enclosed a plot drawing
showing the way water runs off the property and where the samples were taken.
If you notice the layout of pad area; storage area, and loading area you will see that all wood that
leaves the pad has to pass thru the loading area; therefore any drippage from the wood would be
in this area, and run off water at the ditch and truck exit would be the worse areas.
When we take samples to AquaSource we take samples from the three areas I have shown.
These same areas get reRujar visual monitoHnIggaime these are the only entrances to the property.
The ditch is also monitored because we mow this area all summer and we cross the ditch
everyday.
I hope this meets the requirments you were asking.
My understanding is we were to take quarterly samples next year. Since we have changed from
CCA to ACQ and no longer have the arsenic and chrome components how many samples will we
be required to take next year?

Dear Permittee:

NCDENR
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Renewal
McRae Woodtreating Incorporated
Permit Number NCS000291
Montgomery County
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000291. This permit expires
on March 31, 2005. 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 October 1, 2004 in order for the permit to be renewed by March 31, 2005.
Failure to request renewal by October 1, 2004 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 Bill Mills of the Stormwater and
General Permits Unit at [phone], ext. 548.

This subbasin contains a portion of the Pee Dee River
between Lake Tillery dam and Blewett Falls dam,
including Blewett Falls Lake. Major tributaries, which are
discussed here, include Clarks Creek, Big Mountain Creek
and Brown Creek. The Rocky River (subbasins 03-07-11
through 03-07-14) and the Little River (subbasin 03-07-15)
enter the Pee Dee River between Tillery and Blewett Falls.
Municipalities within this subbasin are portions of Mount
Gilead, Ansonville, Lilesville, Wadesboro and Polkton.
A map including the locations of NPDES discharges and
water quality monitoring stations is presented in Figure B-
11. Table B-20 contains a summary of monitoring data
types, locations and results. Use support ratings for waters
in this subbasin are summarized in Table B-21. Appendix
I provides a key to discharge identification numbers. Refer
to Appendix III for a complete listing of monitored waters
and more information about use support ratings.
The Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge is located primarily in the Brown Creek watershed in this
subbasin. However, despite the relatively small amount of public land, this subbasin is nearly 80
percent forested. A significant amount of land is cultivated (12 percent) and nearly 2 percent is
surface water, reflecting the 2,500-acre BIewett Falls Lake. The estimated population and
density of the subbasin are low, and projected population increases for Anson County are less
than 10 percent over the next 20 years.
There are only four NPDES permitted discharges and six registered animal operations. The six
farms which are large enough to be registered are swine operations. Swine production from all
farms (small and large) increased by 79 percent between 1994 and 1998. This capacity is a
negligible percent of the state's total capacity for swine production, but indicates a shift in the
agricultural community of this area. This subbasin represents more than 5 percent of the state's
total capacity for poultry production. There were no significant changes in the poultry
production capacity (1994-1998). The Town of Ansonville WWTP is the only facility in
significant noncompliance of the most recent review period; it is discussed in following sections.

miles are assigned to more than one category.
These waters are impaired based on fish consumption advice issued for three species of freshwater fish due to mercury
contamination. Refer to page 104 of Section A for details.
10.2 Status and Recommendations for Previously Impaired Waters
This section reviews use support and recommendations detailed in the 1998 basinwide plan,
reports status of progress, gives recommendations for the next five-year cycle, and outlines
current projects aimed at improving water quality for each water. The 1998 Yadkin -Pee Dee
River basin plan identified two Impaired waters in this subbasin: Pee Dee River below Lake
Tillery and Brown Creek.
10.2.1 Brown Creek (28.5 miles from NC 74 to the Pee Dee River)
1998 Recommendations
The 1998 basin plan noted low dissolved oxygen concentrations in this lowest portion of the
Brown Creek watershed at the ambient monitoring station. The ambient monitoring station is
very close to the Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge. The recommendation was that no new
discharges of oxygen -consuming wastes be permitted in the watershed.
Status of Progress
The fish community in the upper portion of the Brown Creek watershed received a Good
bioclassification in 2001 and 1996. The community is very diverse, but some habitat
degradation was noted. This portion of stream, from the NCISC state line to Lick Creek above
Polkton, is rated Supporting. Near Polkton, the character of Brown Creek seems to change. The
stream slows down and becomes very curvy with oxbow cutoffs and braids in some areas.
Currently, there are no more DWQ monitoring stations until the ambient station at SR 1627 near
the refuge. At this station; the stream exhibits characteristics of a natural swamp stream, low
dissolved oxygen, low pH and slightly elevated nutrient concentrations. There are no permitted
NPDES discharges and three registered animal operations in the watershed. Brown Creek from
Lick Creek to the Pee Dee River is currently not rated.
Section B: Chapter 10 - Yadkin -Pee Dee River Subbasin 03-07-10 209

%
2002 Recommendations
A special study is needed to determine whether any portion of Brown Creek stream should
receive the supplemental classification of Sw. DWQ is currently working to refine criteria for
making this determination. Once these criteria are approved, Brown Creek will be a high priority
for assessment. Swamp waters are discussed in more detail on page 113. Additionally, there is
some development along US 74 between Peachland, Polkton and Wadesboro, and along US 52
between Wadesboro and Ansonville. Local actions are needed to reduce the effects of nonpoint
source pollution from these developing areas, as well as on agricultural lands throughout the
watershed.
Water Quality Improvement Initiatives
The US Fish and Wildlife Service, Carolina Power and Light Company, and the NC Wildlife
Resources Commission are cost sharing to conduct an aquatic resource inventory in the Brown
Creek watershed and in portions of the Pee Dee -River between Tillery and Blewett Falls dams
and the lower Little River, with priority on the Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge. The inventory
is planned for 2003 and 2004 and will include documentation of diversity, range, distribution and
relative abundance of a variety of invertebrate (primarily mussel) and fish species. More
information about the Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge begins on page 274 of Section C.
10.2.2 Pee Dee River (15.3 miles from Lake Tillery dam to Turkey Top Creek)
1998 Recommendations
The 1998 basin plan discusses problems with low dissolved oxygen (DO) levels below the Lake
Tillery dam. One recommendation was for DWQ to coordinate efforts to improve water quality
with the Division of Water Resources during the hydropower project relicensing process.
NPDES permit limits for new or expanding discharges were also outlined.
Current Status
Approximately 11 percent of samples collected between September 1996 and August 2001
contained DO concentrations that were less than 5.0 mg/l; 4 percent were less than 4.0 mg/l.
These problems likely result from deep water (hypolimnetic) releases through the hydropower
facility at Lake Tillery. Lake Tillery is part of a Carolina Power and Light (CP&L) hydropower
project that will be undergoing relicensing between 2002 and 2006.
Further downstream at NC 109, just below the confluence with Brown Creek, DO levels were
still depressed. Low DO waters flowing in from Brown Creek likely influence this monitoring
station; however, the Town of Ansonville-WWTP was also in significant noncompliance for
BOD, chloride, fecal coliform and total suspended solids over the most recent review period.
2002 Recommendations
DWQ will work with CP&L to better evaluate water quality in the Pee Dee River below Lake
Tillery during the hydropower relicensing process. In addition to the license application, CP&L
must also obtain a 401 Water Quality Certification for the project. DWQ will ensure, through the
401 Water Quality Certification review that project operations will not result in violations of
water quality standards. DWQ will also continue to work with the Town of Ansonville to regain
and maintain compliance with its NPDES permit. DWQ should continue to require NPDES
Section B: Chapter 10 - Yadkin -Pee Dee River Subbasin 03-07-10 210

permit limits no less stringent than 15.0 mg/l BOD5, 4.0 mg/l NH3-N and 5.0 mg/l DO for new
and expanding discharges into this portion of the Pee Dee River.
10.3 Status and Recommendations for Newly Impaired Waters
No stream segments were rated as Impaired based on recent DWQ monitoring (1998-2001);
however, as mentioned previously, some impacts to water quality were observed. Refer to Part
10.5 below, as well as Section A, Chapter 4 for further discussion of potential water quality
problems in this portion of the basin.
10.4 Section 303(d) Listed Waters
Currently, portions of two waters in this subbasin are listed on the state's draft 2002 303(d) list.
Brown Creek is listed for biological impairment and low dissolved oxygen. Portions of the Pee
Dee River are listed for dissolved oxygen and pH. If Brown Creek were to be reclassified with
the supplemental classification of Sw attached, it could likely be removed from the 303(d) list in
the future. Appendix IV contains more information on the state's 303(d) list and listing
requirements.
10.5 Status and Recommendations for Waters with Notable Impacts
Based on DWQ's most recent use support assessment, the surface waters discussed below are not
Impaired. However, notable water quality impacts were documented. While these waters are not
considered Impaired, attention and resources should be focused on them over the next basinwide
planning cycle to prevent additional degradation or facilitate water quality improvement. A
discussion of how impairment is determined can be found in Appendix 111.
Although no action is required for these streams, voluntary implementation of BMPs is
encouraged and continued monitoring is recommended. DWQ will notify local agencies and
others of water quality concerns discussed below and work with them to conduct further
monitoring and to locate sources of water quality protection funding. Additionally, education on
local water quality issues is always a useful tool to prevent water quality problems and to
promote restoration efforts. Nonpoint source agency contacts are listed in Appendix VI.
10.5.1 Clarks Creek
Clarks Creek flows generally south near Mount Gilead into the Pee Dee River just below Lake
Tillery dam. The Town of Mount Gilead historically had inflow and infiltration problems
associated with the old facility and discharge into Clarks Creek. In 2000, Mount Gilead
completed work on the WWTP that included ultraviolet disinfection (rather than chlorination)
and relocated the discharge to the Pee Dee River. The new NPDES permit contains limits
consistent with the strategy recommended in the 1998 basin plan and summarized here in Part
10.2.2 above.
In 2001, Clarks Creek is rated Supporting based on biological surveys of fish and benthic
macroin vertebrates. The most upstream site at SR 1188 qualified to be a new reference site for
Section B: Chapter 10 - Yadkin -Pee Dee River Subbasin 03-07-10 211

fish community sampling. Downstream of the old WWTP discharge, water chemistry samples
show few problems with low dissolved oxygen. Turbidity was slightly elevated after rain events,
which indicates some impacts from nonpoint source pollution in the watershed.
Fecal coliform concentrations were greater than 400 coloniesl100ml in nearly 22 percent of
samples collected between 1998 and 2001 from Clarks Creek. Current methodology requires
additional bacteriological sampling for streams with a geometric mean greater than 200
coloniesl100ml or when concentrations exceed 400 co11100ml in more than 20 percent of
samples. However, these additional assessments are prioritized such that, as monitoring
resources become available, the highest priority is given to those streams where the likelihood of
full -body contact recreation is greatest. Clarks Creek is not currently classified for primary
recreation (Class B).
10.5.2 Little Mountain Creek
Little Mountain Creek begins near the Town of Norman. Most of the watershed is in agriculture,
and many small headwater tributaries are dammed for farm ponds. Most of the habitat
degradation observed at the benthic macroinvertebrate sampling site on Mountain Creek is likely
a result of nonpoint source pollution from the Little Mountain Creek watershed.
As resources allow, DWQ will sample Little Mountain Creek over the next basinwide planning
cycle. However, local actions are needed to reduce the effects of nonpoint source pollution,
particularly from agricultural activities, and to restore habitat throughout the watershed.

IV-E Ammoniacal Copper Quaternary (ACQ) Wood Preservation
Facilities
Overview
Ammoniacal copper quaternary (Type B) wood preservative is formulated with
copper oxide (66.7%) and the quaternary ammonium compound,
didecyldimethylammoniumchloride - DDAC (33.3The treating process and
sources of emissions are similar to ACZA.
Process Description
(Figure 4.5)
As with the other water -based treatments, the process should be a closed
system so liquid releases are collected for reuse. ACQ is diluted to similar
working solution concentrations as for CCA and ACZA. Wood is treated using
a full -cell process involving initial and final vacuums and a pressure process
of variable duration, depending on the species and target preservative
loading. Chemical fixation of the active components is relatively rapid and, as
with ACZA, involves the evaporation of ammonia under ambient conditions.
Chemical Discharges
(Figure 4.6)
Communities Portal
Copper, ammonia, and the criteria air contaminants are compounds that
Contact Us should be monitored during the processes for NPRI reporting. Processing
steps that can result in emissions to air, soil, and groundwater or for off -site
disposal are shown in Figure 4.6. Airborne emissions of all components as
aerosols are possible at the retort door (especially when opened after a
treatment charge), at vacuum pump exhausts, and tank vents. In addition,
fugitive emissions of ammonia will occur wherever treating solution and
freshly treated wood is exposed to the environment. Liquid emissions to the
soil, groundwater and surface water can occur wherever uncontained drips,
leaks and spills can occur. Unprotected treated wood in storage will leach
small amounts of components when subjected to rain. Solid contaminated
wastes result from used filters, contaminated dirt, dust and sawdust, and from
process sludges that build up in the solution storage tanks.

Estimation Methodologies to Determine Releases and Transfers for ACQ
Wood Preservation Facilities
Estimation procedures for emissions are similar to those for CCA wood
preservation facilities, with two exceptions:
• Emission factors have not been developed for ACQ airborne
emissions.
• There will be a release of ammonia during the process and from
freshly treated wood.
Facilities that meet the NPRI reporting criteria for CACs should refer to the
Supplementary Guide for Reporting Criteria Air Contaminants (CACs) to the
National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) and other reference documents
to estimate emissions of CACs to air.
For the determination of releases to water, soil and off -site transfers of solid
wastes, refer to the section on estimating releases for CCA wood
preservation facilities. For an estimation of ammonia releases, refer to the
section on ACZA wood preservation facilities.
Summary of NPRI Reporting Steps-ACQ Wood Preservation Facilities
1..Gather information on sources of releases to air, soil, groundwater,
storm water, and off -site releases
2. Determine reporting thresholds for NPRI reportable substances from
the Canada Gazette Part I Notice for the year being reported.
3. Estimate quantities released on site or transferred off site, based on
monitoring data, engineering calculations or emission factors.

PART I
MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A: FINAL LIMTATIONS AND CONTROLS FOR STORMWATER DISCHARGES
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 below.
P
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 II, Standard
Conditions, Section E.8. of this permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following
items:
a. 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:
(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 wate.1s) 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.
(2) A narrative description of loading and unloading activities, material handling areas,
liquid storage tanks, treatment chemical storage areas, treated' and untreatedwood
and residue storage areas, wet decking areas, dust or particulate generating
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, where
information is available, facilities that have used chlorophenolic, creosote or
chromium -copper -arsenic formulations for wood surface protection or wood
preserving activities onsite in the past should identify in the inventory the following
areas where contaminated soils, treatment equipment, and stored materials still
remain and management practices employed to minimize the contact of these
materials with stormwater runoff..
(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.
Page 4

Permit No. NCS000291
(5) Certification 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 H, Standard Conditions, Section
B.9.
b. 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 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
discharges and data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges.
(4) Inspection schedules of stormwater conveyances and controls and measures to be
taken to limit or prevent erosion associated with the stormwater systems.
c. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan shall
incorporate a risk assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory
of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the plan shall be
identified in 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 associated with the facility operations.
d. 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 and systems.
Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be
Page 5

Permit No. NCS000291
incorporated into the program. Good housekeeping measures in storage areas, loading and
unloading, and material areas should be designed to: limit the discharge of wood debris,
minimize the leachate generated from decaying wood materials, and minimize the
generation of dust.
e. 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 in the Plan.
f. 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(s) assignments provided.
g. Plan Ammendment. 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
II, Standard Conditions, Section B, #9) to the Director that the changes have been made.
h. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur at a
minimum on a semiannual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once
during 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.
Visual monitoring as required in I.A.2.g.(3) shall be performed in addition to facility
inspections.
Implementation. Implementation of the plan shall include documentation of 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.
2_Minimum Monitoring and Reporting R4uirements
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
Page 6

Permit No. NCS000291
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
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 U, 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.
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.
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.

conditions.
2 Sample Type: Defined in Part II, Standard Conditions, Section A.
3 Sample Location: Samples to be taken at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO)
unless representative outfall status has been granted.
4 For each sampled representative storm event the total precipitation, storm duration,
and total flow must be monitored. Total flow shall be either; (a) measured
continuously, (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining to the outfall, the
amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c)
estimated by the measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall
event.
Page 8

Permit No. NCS000291
(2) Cut-off Concentrations
For each parameter, the arithmetic mean of all analytical sampling results collected during the
term of the permit shall be calculated for each individual outfall and compared to the cut-off
concentrations listed below. If the arithmetic mean meets the specified cut-off concentration
condition for a given parameter, then the facility is not required to continue annual analytical
monitoring for that parameter at that outfall unless a significant change in facility operations or
configuration occurs. If a cut-off concentration results in discontinued analytical monitoring at
an individual discharge outfall, the permittee is required to maintain facility operations that
ensure the continuation of stormwater runoff quality.
The permittee must perform analytical sampling. during the fast and last year of the permit term
regardless of cut-off concentration conditions. Analytical results from sampling during the
final year of the permit term must be submitted with the permit renewal application.

(3) 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.
