Inspection Summary:
Inspection conducted as part of the permit renewal process. Met with Richard Pearson, Manufacturing Manager. Reviewed
facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and monitoring records. The SPPP contains all permit -required
components, however needs documentation of an annual review/update. The annual update should include an updated list
of any significant spills during the previous three years or notation that none have occurred, written re -certification that the
stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of any non-stormwater discharges, and a re-evaluation of the
effectiveness of BMPs. Analytical and Qualitative Monitoring records were complete. A review and discussion of the draft
permit renewal was conducted. It was relayed that the Benchmark Value for aluminum was incorrectly listed in the
current/expired permit as 30mg1L and will be revised in the renewed permit as 0.75mg/L. Historical analytical data for the
facility showed that past monitoring results were below this revised benchmark. Observations of site conditions were made
including outside storage areas and stormwater outfalls. Facility appeared to be well operated and maintained.

ADDENDUM
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under the
federal Clean Water Act and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in
North Carolina. The NPDES permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990.
Phase I focuses on site and operations planning to reduce pollutant sources.
Through the NPDES permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten
categories are required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit,
depending upon the facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There are
currently 19 active general stormwater permits in North Carolina. One condition that is applicable to
both the general permits and individual stormwater permits is the requirement to develop and implement
site -specific comprehensive stormwater pollution prevention plans (SPPP). These plans are required to
include a comprehensive evaluation of the site and operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent
pollutant discharge.
Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following
webpage: http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/su/Fonns—Documents.htm Permit text, technical bulletins, discharge
monitoring forms, and a Notice of Intent [which is the application of for coverage under a NPDES
General Stormwater Permit] can be found at this web site.
The following items are a subset of permit requirements and are listed to assist you and help bring your
attention to certain permitting issues, process and condition requirements of your permit. That said;
please see the above -mentioned web site in order to obtain a copy of the permit such that you may fully
comply with all the conditions therein. Failure to properly comply with conditions of the permit, like
those bulleted below, constitutes violations and is subject civil penalty assessment of up to
$25,000.00 per day..
• Industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit
coverage under a general NPDES stormwater permit or an individual NPDES stormwater permit
• All persons desiring to have facilities covered by a General Permit must register with the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Applicable Fees.
• This Notice of Intent (NOI) must be submitted and a Certificate of Coverage issued prior to any
discharge of stormwater associated with the industrial activity, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering.
• Once the Notice of Intent is received, DWQ will review and determine whether a Certificate of
Coverage (COC) may be issued. If this Certificate of Coverage is issued the facility is covered
by the General Permit. That is, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater, process
wastewater, and/or mine dewatering pursuant to the type of General Permit until the permit.
expires or is modified or revoked.
• Any other point source discharge to surface water of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization or approval.
• There are currently 19 active general permits. Permit conditions vary accordingly; however, most
of the permits have following condition requirements (you must read your entire permit to ensure
full compliance):
o Development and compliance with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
o Collection, reporting,- and recording of Analytical Monitoring
o Collection, reporting and recording of Qualitative Monitoring
o Collection, reporting and recording of Vehicle Maintenance Monitoring
o Records - Visual monitoring shall be documented and records maintained at the facility
along with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Copies of the analytical monitoring
results shall also be maintained on -site. The Permittee shall retain records of all
monitoring information, including all calibration and maintenance records and all original
strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation, and copies of all reports
required by this general permit for a period of least 5 years for the date of the sample
measurement, report or application.
o Expiration — The permittee is not authorized to discharge after the expiration date of the
general permit. In order to receive automatic authorization to discharge beyond the
expiration date, the permittee shall submit forms and fees as are required by the agency
authorized to issue permits no later than 180-days prior to expiration date. Any permittee
that has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration, or any permittee that
does not have a permit after the expiration and has not requested renewal at least 180
days prior to expiration, will be subject to enforcement. Failure to renew your permit is
a violation.
o Transfer — The Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued pursuant to this general permit is
not transferable to any person expect after notice to and approval by the Director. The
Director -may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the Certificate of
Coverage to change the name and incorporate such other requirements as may be
necessary under the Clean Water Act. The Permit is NOT transferable.
o Name Change, Closure or Facility Ownership change — Permittee is required to notify the
Division in writing in the event the permitted facility is sold or closed. The Division of
Water Quality views changes of name or ownership as a modification that requires the
Director's approval and reissuance of the permit. Name and ownership changes required

Dear Sir:
We received 'a Notice of Violation and Revocation for Non Payment concerning non-payment of
the required annual administering and compliance monitoring fee of $715.00 for the year.
Payment was not made because the invoice was never received advising the amount due. A
review of this situation has disclosed that the invoice is being addressed to the attention of John
Karnash. Mr. Karnash is legal council for Schindler Elevator Corporation and is located in
Morristown, New Jersey. Obviously, our mail person has forwarded this invoice to Mr.
Karnash's office and it has been misplaced. To prevent future mail delivery problems please
address all correspondence to my attention: Terry Holmes, plant manager.
A check in the amount of $715.00 is being mailed today as requested. Please let me know if
there are any questions or if any further information is required.
