(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 PartIII, 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. lnareas.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 .
p 'ority,cheMiCals: and storage in any amount of hazardous substancez in order to
prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A'table or summary
of all sueh;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. -Record s'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 (SPCA, any portion of the SP,CC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used•to demonstrate
compliance with this permit.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) 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 on data collected
through, monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
Part If Page 2 of 11

Permit No. NCS000309
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be'reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response
Procedures (SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential,pollutant sources based
on a materials inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing
the SPRP,shall be identified'in a writternlist 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)
maybe a componentof 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 arid 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), ali`.'drainage features and
structures; and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance, and lidusekeeping activities,of stormwater•.control systems,
as well ast cility 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 and1regular
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.
5. 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 Quly to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-arinually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part I1 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
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 forall 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=th•e 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' writ#en're=certification, that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for
the presence of non=stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical'monitoring of stormwaterdischarges shall be performed as specified in Table 1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at gagh
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 a:n 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.

1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly
sampling) during a measureable 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
r'eparting schedule'in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the'provlslons of this permit or
the' Divislon.
Z 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 RaS shall be
kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. Aii 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. L
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 i 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
Part ll Page 5 of 11

Permit No. NCS000309
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 sampleilh-yalid rgsults 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
a ,, r
'before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration)to be considered'for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue analyticai monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process; even`if a'renewal permit is not issued until after expiradon'of this 0&ffiit.
2 If no discharge occurs during the sa"mpling period, the permittee must submit a 'rrionitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually
_per permit terms may result- in the Division requiring
monthly.monftoring 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.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to'increase monitoring, increase
management actions; increase record keeping, and/.pr 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. 'ln,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.

is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this
permit is a violation of permit conditions.
_,. ,Tier'One iy
11 The first valid sampling results..are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for
any parameter at any outfall;
Then: The'peirriittee shall: 1. Conduct a stormwater manageFment 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 concept •rations bf the parameters of concern, and%o'r 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 exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected
actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented.
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances fora different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.
Tier Two
If- The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark
values. or outside of the benchmark ranee. for anv specific varameter at a specific discharge outfail;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One,
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall
conduct monthly at monitoring :every outfall where a sampling resulteiiceeded the benchmark
value for two consecutive samples. Monthly [analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue
until three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values br 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.
5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process.

If. The valid sampling results required for the permit -monitoring periods, exceed the benchmark
value; -or a -re out9ide.the lieiichmark range, for any specific. parameter at any specific outifall on- four • t
occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLIt Regional Engineer in writing within ,3a days of receipt of
the fourth analytical results;
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.tlie permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require'the permittee to perform upstreamanddownstream 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 renews! Process.
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 as
specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee
is required to-erform further qualitative monitoring per the QualitativeMonitoAn pg
Response, below). friability to monitor because of adverse weat6 r'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 noied 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.

Qualitative monitoring is for the' purposes of evaluating SPpP, -effectiveness, identifying' new
potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permitte'e'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
Dlvlsion may bdt is not'lliidted to:
• require that the'permittee_revise,' increase, or decrease the monitoring frequencyigr'some
or all parameters (analytical or qualitative)
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
._ ,
• require the permittee to implement o,ther' storfmwater control measures;
• require"the.
permittee to per€oiin'upstream aiid downstream ionitoringto characterize
