We have developed and recorded a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan as per the requirements of the NPDES Stormwater General Permit- NCS000291. Furthermore, as part of this plan, we have implemented procedures to record qualitative and analytical monitoring of our storm water samples as per the permit requirements. This monitoring will be done with our first storm water sample for the 2011 calendar year as per the bi-annual schedule. We have submitted a copy of our Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan to Mike Lawyer for review. Please let us know if there is any part of this plan that needs revision or correction and we will make the necessary changes in an expedient manner.

DYY�jjj� PO Box 8 Mount Gilead, North Carolina 27306 Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000291 McRae Woodtreating Incorporated Montgomery County Dear Mr. McRae: 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: 1. 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 I1 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 benchir>.ark 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.)

Permit No. NCS000291 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: I 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 fora 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.
