Subject: Final NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000379
Nucor Steel
Hertford County
Dear Mr. McCracken:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under NPDES stormwater permit
NCS000379, the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (Division) is forwarding herewith the
subject state - NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215 .1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
This final permit includes one major change from the draft permit sent to you on April 8, 2016. The
silver parameter has been removed from your permit. It is our understanding that silver is not a part of your
facility's process, and there are no exposed coal piles which can leach silver. Further, silver levels were
below detection limits in almost all of the 30+ samples taken between 2002-2013.
The monitoring strategy remains the same (semi-annual) as the previous term of the permit. Please note
that analytical and qualitative monitoring is required in this permit. Failure to complete the monitoring as
required is a violation of the permit and any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean
Water Act. Reference Part III, Section A, Item 2 "Duty to Comply", Item 9 "Penalties for Tampering" and
Item 10 "Penalties for Falsification of Reports" of your permit for further information.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this modification are
unacceptable to you, then you have the right to file a petition for a contested case with the Office of
Administrative Hearings within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This petition must conform
to the requirements of Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes. Petitions must be timely filed
with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer H 666, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604. If
you do not file a petition within the required time, the agency decision shall be final and binding.
Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part III, B.2. addresses the requirements to be followed in
case of change in ownership or control of this discharge. This permit does not affect the legal requirements
to obtain other permits which may be required by this Division, or permits required by the Division of
Water Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or any other federal or local governmental permit that
may be required.

PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: INDIVIDUAL PERMIT COVERAGE
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration,
the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity.
Such discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described
in 40 CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES
stormwater discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No
Exposure Exclusion must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (N01) form to
the Division; must receive approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions
unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify
the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina or separate storm sewer system that
has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this permit. All stormwater discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this
permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or
approval. The stormwater discharges allowed by this permit shall not cause or contribute
to violations of Water Quality Standards.
This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any
other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or
decree.

PART Il MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by
the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent
map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface
waters; the name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls
discharge, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the
name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary;
the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and
wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and
finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and
total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area;
industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must
indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map
must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years
and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
Part II Page 1 of 1S
Permit No. NCS000379
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the
stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the
requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall
contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which
control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including
structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a
minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to rainfall and run-on flows. Wherever practical, the
permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations,
and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater
run-on away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid ,Materials: storage in any aMQUn of Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
ray chemicals; and storage in any amount gf hazardous substances, in order to
prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually
activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a
locking mechanism). Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area
shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible
sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater.
Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any
material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the
description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release
shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary
containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by
amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment
and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface
waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily
as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
Part 11 Page 2 of 1S
Permit No. NCS000379 ,
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
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 written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A
responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have
increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC)
may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address the
stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may
be incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented.
The program shall address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial
activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,
as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under
another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
S. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur
as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a
minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to
June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part 1I 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
Part 11 Page 3 of 1S
Permit No. NCS000379
personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible
for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP
_whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage,
maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant
effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of
the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update
shall include:
(a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three
(3) years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site
Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated far
the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater
BMPs (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response
status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's website (See'Monitoring Forms' here:
http//I deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/energy-
mineral-land- ermits/-stormwater- ep rmits/npdes-industrial-sw).
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee
shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater.
Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to
employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement
BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities.
Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon
request.
Part II Page 4 of 1S
Permit No. NCS000379
SECTION.B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table Z.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event ate c
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a
shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the
permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions.

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 revolted or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three
response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed.
Part II Page 5 of 15
Permit No. NCS000379
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site.
`l For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading
may be substituted for an on -site reading.
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
sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part I11, Section E). However, for purposes
of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the
analytical results from the first sample with valid„ results within the monitoring period.

Footnotes:
1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revolted or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an
outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3.
Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase
Part II Page 6 of 15
Permit No. NCS000379 ,
management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and
Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's
release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the
release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

implementation of the permittee's SPPP. An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value
is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this
permit is a violation of permit conditions.

If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any
arameter at any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling
results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations
within the benchmark range.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection.
5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark
exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the
date the selected actions were implemented.
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.
If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no
discharge) are above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at
a specific discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct
monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two
consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three
consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements,
4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the
option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional
Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three,
including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process.

If: The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or
are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the
permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth
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 the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on
receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion;
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process.

This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with a fish advisory for
mercury. A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) was approved for this segment of the
Chowan River and Brooks Creek. You should continue to monitor for this pollutant of
concern in the future and submit results to the Division. The Division will consider the
monitoring results in determining whether additional BMPs are needed to control the
pollutant of concern to the maximum extent practicable.
If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be
required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a
timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater
pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as
specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee
is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring
Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be
documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see
Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee
shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to
the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

permit prompt monthly monitoring. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of
this permitting cycle. The permittee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal
process until a new permit is issued.
2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall
(SDO) regardless of representative outfall status.
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has
been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are
ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement
those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below.
A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be
kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential
sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the
permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the
Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some
or all parameters (analytical or qualitative)
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more
than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year
shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 5. All analytical
monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater
discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas,
and in accordance with the schedule presented in Table 2 (Section B).

the permit prompt monthly sampling), until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this
permitting cycle. if the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions
under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in
Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division.
2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation
between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall be begun within
the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges
stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall
status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain
gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain guage may
be substituted for an on -site reading.
Failure to monitor'semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period, as provided in Part 11
Section B.
Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 6. The benchmark
values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require
the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record
keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), as provided in Part
11 Section B.

To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce
minimum detection and reporting levels and all data generated must be reported down to the
minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are
determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below permit discharge
requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting
level) approved method must be used.
If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that
are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status.
If it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is
granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced
number of outfalls.

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by
the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items;
Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that may be,expected,to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site Overview -shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle ap or�appropriately drafted equivalent
map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface
waters; the name of the receiving waters to.which the stormwater outfalls
discharge, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the
name of the municipality and the�ultimate-receiving waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the points,of stormwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general location,map� (or alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303 (d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site is locatedAnja watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and whatt t`hd parameters of concern are.
(
b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities,
outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and
waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary;
the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and
wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and
finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and
total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area;
industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must
indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map
must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years
and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
Part II Page 1 of IS
Permit No. NCS000379
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the
stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the
requirements found in Part III, 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 ruri on,flow\W_herever practical, the
permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage areasmaterial handling operations,
and manufacturing or fueling operations. Wareas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, this review shall document•the feasibility of diverting the stormwater
run-on away from areas of potential co tamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements aiid Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage. of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Supertiind�Artiendirients and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water_
priority chemicals: and storage,in air y a _ ount of hazardous substances, in order to
prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks and�stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained.Af the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance -systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually
activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a
locking mechanism). Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area
shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible
sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater.
Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any
material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the
description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release
shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit. The Division may allow exceptions to secondary
containment requirements for mobile refuelers, as with the exemption provided by
amendments to federal SPCC regulations, as long as appropriate spill containment
and/or diversionary structures or equipment is used to prevent discharge to surface
waters. Exceptions do not apply to refuelers or other mobile tankage used primarily
as bulk liquid material storage in a fixed location in place of stationary containers.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
Part II Page 2 of 15
Permit No. NCS000379
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
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 written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and
dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A
responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility operations that have
increased potential to contaminate stormwater runoff�through spills or exposure of
materials associated with the facility operations.AThe SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control an ountermeasure 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 GoodlHousekeeping Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program,shall be developed and implemented.
The program shall add ress,all,stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater
discharge outfalls, all on-site,and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial
activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing,structural�BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance and -housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems,
as well as facility equipment; facility areas, and facility systems that present a potential
for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already addressed under
another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
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 (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part II B, C, and D of this
permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility
Partf1 Page 3 of 1S
Permit No. NCS000379
personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their
annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible
for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position
assignments provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP
whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage,
maintenance, or configuration of the physical features which may have a significant
effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of
the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an ann\ l,basis. The annual update
shall include:
(a) an updated list ofsignificant spills orileaks of pollutants for the previous three
(3) years, or the notation that no spills.have occurred (element of the Site
Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the Qormwaroutfalls have been evaluated for
the presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater
BMPs (BMP Summary eAu ` ttof the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the_past.yearincluding a discussion about Tiered Response
status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program' s website.(See'Monitoring Forms' here:
hip:/lde�goyjabout/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/orgy_
mineral_Ignd-permits/stormwater-permitsInpdes-industrial-sw).
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee
shall submit a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum
requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with
Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit,
in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater.
Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to
employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement
BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities.
Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon
request.

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1•
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at e ch
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a
shorter interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the
permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer. See Definitions.

this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three
response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
Part 11 Page 5 of 15
Permit No. NCS000379
Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between
outfalis prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin within the first 30
minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the Division's letter granting ROS shall be
kept on site.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading
may be substituted for an on -site reading.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule
specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection
(see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required'outside of the facility's
normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2
sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been'institute&under a "Tier Two"
response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented
in the SPPP and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each
sample taken within the monitoring period (see,Part 111, Section E). However, for purposes
of benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions,,the permittee shall use the
analytical results from the first sample with yilid��esults within the monitoring period.

1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit
renewal process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring
monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an
outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is
properly recorded and reported.
Part II Page 6 of 15
Permit No. NCS000379
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/or install stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and
Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, the Division's
release letter may remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the
release letter provides for other conditions or duration.

The benchmark values in Table 3 are pot permit limits but should be used as guidelines for
implementation of the permittee's SPPP. An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value
is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this
permit is a violation of permit conditions.
Part II Page 7 of 15
Permit No. NCS000379
Tier One
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any
parameter at any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling
results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations
within the benchmark range.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection.
5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark
exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the
date the selected actions were implemented.
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter se rately trigger a tiered response.
Tier Two
If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods (omitting periods with no
discharge) are above the benchmark values, or outside,of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at
a specific discharge outfall; ��_ n
Then: The permittee shall: }
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier. One.
V/ %.A i7
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct
monthly monitoring at every outfall where�a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two
N.�
consecutive samples. Monthly (anall. yracal a. qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three
consecutive sample results are,belbw,the,benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flaw" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps.2-and;3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the
option of contacting the DEMLR"Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional
Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three,
including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
S. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process.
Tier Three
If: The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or
are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the
permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth
Then: The Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all of the parameters herein;
• require sampling of additional or substitute parameters;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on
receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion;
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process.

This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with a fish advisory for
mercury. A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) was approved for this segment of the
Chowan River and Brooks Creek. You should continue to monitor for this pollutant of
concern in the future and submit results to the Division. The Division will consider the
monitoring results in determining whether additional Ws are needed to control the
pollutant of concern to the maximum extent practicable.
If additional BMPs are needed to achieve the required level of control, the permittee will be
required to (1) develop a strategy for implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a
timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREME
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 perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring
Response, below). Inability to monitor b ecause of adverse weather conditions must be
documented in the SPPP and,recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see
Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee
shall document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to
the discovery. This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential
sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the
permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, the
Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some
or all parameters (analytical or qualitative)
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

Summary of Best Management Practices
BMPs are measures used to prevent or mitigate pollution from any type of activity. BMPs have a very
broad definition and may include materials management practices, housekeeping, preventative
maintenance, inspections, spill prevention/ response, sediment and erosion control, and management
of runoff. Other BMPs include, but are not limited to debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration,
storm water detention or retention where necessary and sediment catch basins. The need for BMPs will
be based on the assessment of the potential of sources contributing significant quantities of pollutants
to storm water discharges and data collected through monitoring and auditing.
Good Housekeeping:
In general the facility has a large amount of material stored outside. The material should not have a
negative impact upon surface waters. In addition, much of the material is being stored temporarily
awaiting processing or shipment. However, the volume of the material stored outside increases the
likelihood that an item placed outside in the future may impact surface waters. Therefore, ensuring that
any material or scrap metal that is stored outside is free from radiation and is as clean as possible,
though not a requirement of the SP3 plan, is a good long term material management strategy. The
scrap management plan is located in Appendix E.
Minimize the quantity of pallets, equipment, and other materials stored outside to maximum extent
possible.
All drums containing any chemical, oil, fuel, or hazardous waste shall be properly secured and labeled.
Trash dumpsters on the site will be routinely pulled before the contents spill out. Free liquid material
shall not be placed in these dumpsters.
Toxic and hazardous materials shall be stored inside, if safety provisions allow, or in a covered area.
The facility should be kept clean by regularly picking up trash and litter.
The facility shall use fertilizer, herbicide and pesticides in a judicious manner to prevent overuse of these
materials.
Paved areas should be swept on a regular basis. Dust control such as water shall be applied to unpaved
travel roads as needed.
Pollution prevention concepts shall be regularly publicized to employees.
Painting Operations:
• Inspect and properly prepare parts for painting.
• Contain and properly dispose of or reuse sanding and sandblasting materials where possible.
• Prevent paint waste from contacting storm water.
• Properly store paint and solvents under cover.
• Make sure paint equipment is operating efficiently and does not leak.
• Recycle paint, paint thinner, and solvents.
Vehicle and Equipment Washing:
Oily equipment and vehicles are not to be washed or steam cleaned outside without
appropriate controls for wash waters.
Use phosphate free biodegradable detergents.
Wash over impervious surfaces.
Loading and Unloading Materials:
• Loading areas should be swept on a regular basis.
• Grade, berm or curb area around loading area to prevent storm water runoff contamination.
• Inspect trucks for leaks.
• Clean loading areas of accidental spills immediately.
Outside Storage of Raw Materials, By -Products or Finished Products:
• Store all materials indoors to the extent practicable.
• Prevent storm water runoff by enclosing area or building a berm around the area.
Preventative Maintenance:
Containment berms and aboveground storage tanks should be inspected monthly for leaks, cracks, and
other signs of deterioration.
Material storage areas should be inspected monthly for corroded and damaged drums, boxes, crates,
and bags, or other potential causes of leaks and spills. Items identified should be repaired or contained,
and any spillage immediately cleaned up.
A preventative inspection and testing program shall be developed for all major equipment use or stored
outside (including vehicles) that could lead to storm water runoff contamination. The program shall
include:
Service checklists and maintenance logs for each piece of equipment.
Employee education and instruction materials; and
Review of manufacturer -recommended frequency of parts replacement and maintenance
activities.
Major equipment used or stored outside shall be kept clean by frequently removing accumulated oil and
grease that may be exposed to storm water or that may hide equipment trouble spots.
Scheduled maintenance of vehicles and major equipment (except cranes, locomotives and stationary
equipment), shall be conducted in a covered or bermed area.
Storm water management devices (e.g. cleaning oil/water separators, cleaning catch basins, cleaning
sumps) shall be inspected regularly and properly maintained.
Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance:
• Prevent spills and drips of solvents and cleaners on the shop floor.
• Check for leaking oil and fluids.
• Use nontoxic or low toxicity materials and solvents when possible.
• Use recycled or recyclable products when possible.
• Avoid hosing down work areas unless spilled materials are cleaned up first.
• Do not pour liquid waste in floor drains, sinks, or outdoor storm drains.
• Drain oil filters before disposal or recycling.
Spill Prevention and Response:
Facilities should adopt spill control measures that require repair of any damaged container prior to
outdoor transport and immediate cleanup of spilled material to the greatest extent possible.
Any observed leak or spill should be immediately contained and cleaned up. The cause of the problem
should be repaired as soon as possible. Drip pans or similar containers shall be placed under any leaking
piece of stationary equipment until the leak is repaired.
Dry cleanup methods, using an absorbent material, shall be utilized where appropriate on all significant
leaks and spills. An adequate supply of absorbent materials shall be maintained, and used absorbent
material shall be swept up and properly disposed of.
An adequate amount of dry absorbent should be stored near fuel pumps, tanks, and other areas prone
to spills, and used as needed to contain and cleanup spills.
Berms and curbing may be constructed to contain areas prone to spills.
Proper compatible storage containers should be used for materials stored outside. Any damaged
containers should be repaired or the materials in the damaged containers transferred to a new
undamaged container. All containers should be clearly labeled.
Drums containing liquids, including oil and lubricants, shall be stored indoors or in containment devices.
Where practicable, a containment system such as a concrete pad or double walled tanks shall be
provided around all tanks/containers located outside.
Where practicable a containment system such as a concrete pad with berms -shall be provided under the
hydraulic systems of equipment located outside.
Special care should be taken to prevent and immediately clean up any leaks or spills that occur in
recessed loading dock areas that drain to a sump. The sump water should, where practicable, be
discharged to the facility's water treatment plant or sanitary sewer (with permission).
Absorbent pads and blankets may be placed in, or around, storm drains to collect sediments and oily
substances.
Liquid Storage in Aboveground Tanks:
• Comply with existing spill prevention, cleanup and countermeasures plans (SPCC) and
incorporate by reference.
• Employ engineering safeguards to prevent accidental releases of pollutants.
• Install overflow protection devices on tank systems to warn operator or to automatically shut
down transfer pumps when tank reaches full capacity.
• Place protective guards around tanks and piping to prevent vehicle or forklift damage.
• Clearly tag or label valves to reduce human error.
• Visually inspect tank system to identify problem areas.
• Provide secondary containment system around both permanent and temporary tanks.
Fueling Stations:
• An automatic shut-off device should be installed on all gasoline and diesel fuel pumps.
• Install spills and overfill prevention equipment on fuel storage tanks and pumps.
• Avoid "topping off' vehicle fuel tanks.
• Paving fuel areas with concrete, where possible.
• Covering fuel areas with roofs, where possible.
• Grading, berming or curbing fueling area to avoid storm water runoff.
• Store sorbent material near fueling areas to absorb spills.
Sediment and Erosion Prevention:
The topography'at the Nucor facility is primarily flat with dense vegetation typical of the North Carolina
coastal region.
Unpaved yard/operation areas should be periodically re -graded to prevent the formation of ruts and
gullies. Gravel and stone aggregate placement at the sites should be coarse, with a minimum amount of
fine particles, which would be easily flushed by runoff.
A good vegetative cover should be maintained in non -operational unpaved areas.
Any observed erosion, scouring or sedimentation should be controlled using appropriate vegetative,
stabilization, or structural measures.
Vegetative filter strips may be installed to provide a buffer area around the facility operation areas.
Grassed swales may be used to stabilize eroded ditches or channels.
Scrap, Slag, and Mill Scale Storage and Processing Areas:
Prevent storm water runoff by:
• Storing scrap and slag on more elevated portions of the facility; or
• Constructing curbs, berms, or storm water conveyance ditches around the elevated or higher
portion of the scrap yard or slag storage area.
Construct slag aggregate piles to maintain a steep slope so as to minimize the area exposed to rainfall.
Control storm water runoff from slag or scrap areas can be minimized through installing sedimentation
and erosion controls such as fabric fences, straw barriers, or sediment filter bags.
Install grass or other vegetation buffer strips to promote filtration and remove solids.
Baghouse Maintenance and Dust Handling
During loading of baghouse dust to rail car the rail car loader shall sweep up any spilled dust in the silo
area. The swept up dust shall be placed in the satellite drums located at the silo.
Wear proper Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) and follow Lock Out/Tag Out Procedures.
Labels and covers shall be kept on the satellite drums at all times.
When performing work on the screw conveyors, the dust shall be run out of the conveyors and
conveyed to the silo. Any remaining dust shall be vacuumed or swept and placed in the labeled satellite
drums.
During cleaning or scraping of the fan wheels the scraped dust and materials shall be kept inside the
fans to be conveyed to the baghouse, with exception of the main air fans.
When changing filter bags in the baghouse, place filters inside a plastic bag and seal the bag.
When performing maintenance in a baghouse compartment, any dust found on the floor shall be swept
down a filter bag hole in a cell plate (after removal of a filter of course).
Dock Area
The following shall be conducted as needed:
• Loading areas should be swept on a regular basis
• Inspect equipment for leaks
• Clean loading areas of accidental spills immediately
8
• Any observed leak or spill should be immediately contained and cleaned up. The cause of the
problem should be repaired as soon as possible. Drip pans or similar containers shall be placed
under any leaking piece of stationary equipment until the leak is repaired.
• Dry cleanup methods, using absorbent material shall be utilized where appropriate on all
significant leaks and spills. An adequate supply of absorbent materials shall be maintained and
used absorbent material shall be swept up and properly disposed.
• Oily equipment and vehicles are not to be washed or steam cleaned on the dock area.
• No discharge of liquid material from either barges or tug is allowed at or around the dock facility
at Nucor Hertford. Proper removal of this material is the responsibility of the transport
company
• No maintenance of barges or tug is to be performed, unless an emergency, at the dock facility at
Nucor Hertford. Maintenance of barges and tug is the responsibility of the transport company
and should be scheduled at deep -water ports.
Summary of Operational Changes/Additions
Additional processes added to Nucor Steel Hertford County since the last stormwater permit renewal
include a quench and temper line, a normalizing line, and DRI conveyor system.
The quench and temper line contain an austenitizing furnace, a tempering furnace, a shot blaster, a
cooling tower, and two plate cutting beds. The shot blaster is used to clean the plate of any residual
scale or surface impurities before entering the two furnaces. The austenitizing and tempering furnace
heat and cool the plate to different degrees in order to improve physical properties of the steel. The
cooling towers are used to process the water used during the quench and tempering process. The plate
cutting beds cut the plates to the desired lengths for customer orders.
The normalizing line contains a normalizing furnace, plate cutting beds, and a shot blaster. The shot
blaster is used to clean the plate of any residual scale or surface impurities before entering the furnace.
The normalizing furnace heats and cools the plate to different degrees in order to harden and
strengthen the steel. The plate cutting beds cut the plat to the desired length for customer orders.
The DRI conveyor system contains pipe conveyors and storage silos. DRI is used as a scrap substitute in
the steel making process. DRI will arrive on a barge and transferred from the barge to the storage silos
by the pipe conveyor system. From the storage silos it is then transferred by pipe conveyor system to
the electric arc furnace for processing.
