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 1I1, 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 P rovide Va�/descripti�o�nof the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that may bye expected to contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges.,-T �� it,`eOverview 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 generablocation 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.

Permit No. NCS000093 DRAFT
(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 Ili, 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 &Ows. 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 ofiliadid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals; nd storage in any amount 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. 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
Page - 4

Permit No. NCS000093 DRAFT
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 stormwaterunoff 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 Maintenancesand 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 idfadjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial
activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal areas,
process areas, loading and -re loading 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 11 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 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 an 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 ofsignificantspill�or le`bkof pollutants for the previous three
(3) years, or the notation that no'spills-have occurred (element of the Site
Overview); 'Ilrll'� 1
(b) a written re-cererfrcation that the-stormwoter outfalls 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 element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) rover -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: https:Hdeq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-
resourceslnpdes-stormwater-individual).
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 Ill, 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
Permit No. NCS000093 DRAFT
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 each
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 Recional Engineer. See. Definitions.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to.the,benchmark values in Table 1.
Exceedances of benchmark values require the permitteee 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.
l �
The benchmark values in Table 1 a fe not 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.
Please note that the parameters in the last two rows in Table 1 (non -polar oil and grease
and new motor oil usage) are only required for outfalls that discharge runoff from vehicle
or equipment maintenance areas in which more than 55 gallons of new motor oil and/or
hydraulic oil per month is used when averaged over the calendar year.

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Permit No. NCS000093 DRAFT
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
during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee. is required to perform
further qualitative monitoring per the Qua] itative'Momtoring.Response, below). Inability
to monitor because of adverse weather conditions m/st 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 not at a.star� water discharge outfall, the permittee
shall document the suspected,cause.,of the condition and any actions taken in response to
the discovery. This documentation,willbemaintained with the SPPP.

Permit No. NCS000093 DRAFT
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.
litative Monito
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new
potential sources of stormwater pollution, and prompti g 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,peerformn pstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the
households have broadband5acc ss; then a temporary waiver from the NPDES
electronic reporting requirements,may be granted and discharge monitoring data may
be submitted on paper DMR forms or alternative forms approved by the Director.
Duplicate signed copies shall besubmitted to the mailing address above. See "How to
Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due no later than 30 days from
the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory.
2. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To
obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic
reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting
waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty
(60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin
submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not
exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports
shall be submitted electronically to the Division•unless the permittee re -applies for and
is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved
electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved
reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the
Division for the period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective.

Permit No. NCS000093
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 (NO[) 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.

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 111, 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 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.
Page-3

Permit No. NCS000093
(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 I11, 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 amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals; and storage in any amount 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. 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
Page - 4

Permit No. NCS000093
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 11 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
Page - 5

Permit No. NCS000093
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
BM Ps (BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison ofsample 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: hops://decl.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-
resourceslnpdes-stormwater-individual).
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 I11, 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..

Permit No. NCS000093
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table.l.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measurable storm event at each
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.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 1.
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 1 are not 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.
Please note that the parameters in the last two rows in Table 1 (non -polar oil and grease
and new motor oil usage) are only required for outfalls that discharge runoff from vehicle
or equipment maintenance areas in which more than 55 gallons of new motor oil and/or
hydraulic oil per month is used when averaged over the calendar year.

Footnotes:
1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly
sampling) during a measurable 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
reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or
the Division.
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 ROS shall be
kept on site.
4 For each sampled measurable 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.
5 This parameter is only required for outfalls that discharge runoff from vehicle / equipment maintenance
areas in which more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month is used when averaged over the
calendar year.
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 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 III, 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 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.
Z 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.
3 Monitoring periods remain consistent through the permit term and through the renewal process.
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.

Permit No. NCS000093
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.
S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP, Include the date and value of the benchmark exceedance,
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.
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;
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.

Permit No. NCS000093
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
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.

Page - 10

Permit No. NCS000093
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 Response
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: SPECIAL CONDITIONS
ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]

Permit No. NCS000093
discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge
Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application. NC DEMLR will notify permittees
when eDMR is ready to accept stormwater monitoring data.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each
month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted
facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet.
Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media
Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all
discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and also will be
required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one
signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DEQ / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due
to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the
households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES
electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may
be submitted on paper DMR forms or alternative forms approved by the Director.
Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See "How to
Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due no later than 30 days from
the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory.
2. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To
obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic
reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting
waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty
(60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin
submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not
exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports
shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and
is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved
electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved
reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the
Division for the period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective.

Subject: Individual permit inspection for BRO Inc.
Bradley,
Below is the language used in the inspection report I am sending out today concerning BRP Inc. in Spruce Pine.
************
On August 28, 2018 this facility was inspected for compliance. I met with Bernice Wilson and others on site. The facility
was also inspected to confirm applicability of pending individual permit renewal. During the inspection, the following
items were noted:
1) An area was observed outside the facility which was being used to store a large number of steel cages. After inquiry, it
was explained that these cages hold aluminum parts for a washing/drying process. The permitee is directed to confirm
that these cages do not present any opportunity to expose any chemicals to precipitation when stored outside after use.
The permitee is also directed to provide a written summary of the industrial process associated with these cages to the
regional office.
2) A chemical storage area was observed at the facility containing a large number of used chemical drums. Due to the
total storage volume of these containers, this area must be under secondary containment to be in compliance with the
permit. The permitee is directed to immediately begin the process of designing and implementing secondary
containment for the chemical storage area.

Subject. Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NC5000346
Insteel Wire Products /
Surry County
Dear Ms. Ellis:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from the facility's current permit:
1. You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during "measurable
storm events" as defined in Part EI, Section B. This term is different from the "representative
storm event" in earlier permits.
2. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in Part II, Section A.
3. Monitoring requirements in the draft permit have changed slightly from the previous permit.
Monitoring is proposed for Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Recoverable Aluminum (Al), and pH.
These are the same parameters as monitored in your previous permit. Stormwater benchmarks
remain in the permit as before. There is one change in your benchmark numbers. Your facility
discharges to Trout waters. The benchmark for TSS in these waters is 50 mg/L. This was
incorrectly set at the standard 100 mg/L in your previous permit.
Keep in mind that benchmarks are not permit limits, but rather guidelines for implementing the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark exceedance is not a permit violation;
however, the permittee must respond to exceedances. The draft permit has modified the tiered
response process for benchmark exceedances consistent with other permits in our program.
Please become familiar with the tiered process as proper response under the tiers may be
enforceable items under your permit. Response to the tiered process may include review of onsite
conditions, installation of BMPs or requirements for more frequent monitoring.

4. Vehicle maintenance (Tables 4 & 5) monitoring parameters have been revised. Non -Polar Oil &
Grease (EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. The benchmark for Non -polar
Oil & Grease using this method is 15 mg/L. This requirement appears in all individual stormwater
permits; however, it only applies to facilities that perform onsite vehicle maintenance activities. If
the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permit cycle, the requirements shall apply. Also,
pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated with vehicle maintenance
activities.
The vehicle maintenance language in the permit has also been modified to clarify that these
activities include notjust•vehicles, but also other similar equipment maintenance activities that
may be exposed to stormwater. This has always been the Division's implementation of this
requirement, but hopefully the adjusted language is a little clearer about this process.
S. Language has been added under Part II Section D to address potential responses to qualitative
monitoring issues.
6. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part II, Section E to comply with federal
regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring reports. Our electronic
submittal process is not available for use at this time, but we will continue to provide feedback on
when this process will be available.
7. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal law in Part
III, Section A, 2(b) and (g).
8. The definition of Bulk Storage of Liquid Materials was revised in Part IV Definitions to omit the
language "located in close proximity to each other' as it applies to multiple above ground storage
containers having a combined storage of 1,320 gallons.
Please review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days following your
receipt of the draft. Comments maybe emailed tome at brad ley•[e-mail] or mailed to my
attention at NC DEMLR, Stormwater Permitting Program, 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-
1612. With this notification the Division will solicit comment on this draft by publishing a notice in a local
newspaper. Following the 30 day public comment period, the Division will review comments and take
appropriate action prior to issuance of the final permit.
If you have any questions, please email me or call me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Bradley Bennett

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 SPPPshall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
I. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a,description of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that mayrbe expected to contribute to
11 contamination of stormwater discharges fThe Site Overview shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadraogl ffiap 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 generallo cation map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receivingwaters 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.
Page - 3

Permit No. NCS000093 DRAFT
(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 rage areas, material handling operations,
and manufacturing or fueling operations. In�areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, this review shall documer t16 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 ofiliquid materials. storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund Mriendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals and -storage in any amount 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. 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 (S) 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
Page - 4

Permit No. NCS000093 DRAFT
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 operationsxThe SPRP must be site stormwater
specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Cont�l'and'Countermeasure plan (SPCC)
may be a component of the SPRP, but may notbe sufficient to completely address the
stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The, y
common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may
be incorporated by reference into the�SPRP�
4. Preventative Maintenanc�e,and oG od,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.
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
Page - 5

Permit No. NCS000093 DRAFT
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.
B. 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 annuahbasis. The annual update
shall include: ��
(a) an updated list of significant spills or 1 aks 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 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 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: https://de .nc.pov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land=
resources/npdes-stormwater-individual}.
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 111, 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.

Permit No. NCS000093 DRAFT
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 each
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 permittees 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,Defrnitions.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results td.the•benchmark values in Table 1.
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. Intheevent, that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring'and reportinfg 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 Ta 1 are \> not 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.
Please note that the parameters in the last two rows in Table 1 (non -polar oil and grease
and new motor oil usage) are only required for outfalls that discharge runoff from vehicle
or equipment maintenance areas in which more than SS gallons of new motor oil and/or
hydraulic oil per month is used when averaged over the calendar year.

EQotnotes:
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
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.
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. /� ��� /7 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.
5 This parameter is only required for outfalls that discharge runoff from vehicle /equipment maintenance
areas in which more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per,month is used when averaged over the
calendar year.
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)- S\ampling 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 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 II1, 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.

If. The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at
an 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 tb,bring concentrations within the benchmark
range.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two monthsof the inspection.
S. 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.

Tier Two
If. The first valid sampling results from two.coniecutive 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; " v
Then: The permittee shall: 1
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.

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
during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform
further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative`Moriitoring.Response, below). Inability
to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and
recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form.( ee 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 ca se,of the condition and any actions taken in response to
the discovery. This documentatiomwlll,v aintained with the SPPP.

permit prompt monthly monitoring. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods. 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.

Permit No. NCS000093 DRAFT
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 SP.PP 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 nr�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 othe sr tormwater 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.

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.
5. Representative Outfall
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.

NC Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources
Review for Permit Renewal — NC5000093
BRP US, Inc.
Spruce Pine, NC
• Facility Activities and Process - SIC 3365 — Aluminum Foundry. Facility makes headboards for boat engines. Lost
foam casting facility producing engine parts. Lost foam — foam mold of part made, surrounded with sand, aluminum
added in and foam is burned off leaving aluminum part.
• Monitoring —The facility has been monitoring for T55, Al, and pH. Previous permit did have tier system.
o Data from 2009 — 2016 shows only two exceedances of the Al benchmark. The TSS benchmark in the
previous permit was not correct. Since the facility drains to Trout waters the benchmark should have been
50 mg/L not 100. Data still did not exceed the 50 value.
o TS5 and pH are base parameters for ongoing evaluation of activities so these should remain in the permit
o Al should also remain. There have been two exceedances of the benchmark, but this is an aluminum
foundry so obviously this is a key parameter to evaluate.
o Parameters remaining in the permit —TSS, Al, pH.
o Tier structure adjusted to have the three levels as in current permits.
o Parameter codes added to permit.
o Previous permit only required monitoring at one of the six outfalls. Only one with industrial activitiy. May
want to get ARO to confirm.
• Discussion with Facility - Email to company contacts on 6/19/18 to start renewal discussions (Bernice Wilson) — Call
set up for 7/9/2018 -> No process changes at the facility. Have added three storage containers — self contained
storage. Will work to summarize data for last few years and will email it to us.
• Surface Water Information - Facility drains to English Creek 7-2-42 in the French Broad River Basin, a class C; Tr
stream. ** note Tr so lower T55 benchmark. 2016 Assessment Report does not list any impairments for English
Creek but does list a portion of North Toe as impaired for turbidity. English Creek travels over a mile to N. Toe River.
• NC National Heritage review — NHP report shows no aquatic resources of concern within project area. Within one
mile there is one species — 5harphead Darter- that is state threatened (not federal) but the occurrence rank is E —
not enough data to establish viability. Waters where this habitat appears to exist is the North Toe River which is
over a mile from the facility discharge. Again, the facility drains to a UT that then drains to North Toe. Does not
appear to be a potential impact from this facility.
• Regional Office Information - ARO — Draft permit to ARO by email on 7/25/2018. Isaiah Reed inspected facility on
8/28/2018, Inspection report in files points out a few areas noted in inspection — area used to store metal cages for
washing and drying and chemical storage area without secondary containment. Note these items in final permit
cover letter and direct to Isaiah in addressing these.

Dear Bradley Bennett:
N C N H DE-6288
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database, indicates that there are
no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas
within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural
heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have
been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists.
In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may
update our records.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of
natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also
included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of the project
area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance. Contact
information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https alwww.fws.govloffices/Directo rylListOffices.cfm?statecod a=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature
Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water Management Trust Fund easement, or Federally -listed
species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butlerQncdcr. gov or 919-707-8603.

that is no longer with BRP to an address for the corporate facility in Sturtevant, Wisconsin.
Thank you once again for e-mailing the renewal package to me.
I trust this request and submission of information satisfies the requirements for permit renewal
pursuant to the applicable North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2H.0105(e). Should
you need additional information or explanation, please contact me at [phone].

Hi John,
Yes, that's correct on both of the two major points in our conversation today.
0 Despite the boilerplate provisions lifted from federal rule which includes the 180 day clock and puts the burden of
renewal on the permittee, DWQ has always initiated the renewal process for our permittees with individual
stormwater permits. As far as likely schedule: I can report that at the present time we are generally renewing our
individual permits before the expiration date, but we are not always getting the renewal information to our permittees
before the 180 days. We don't see this as having significant consequences to our program effectiveness.
We use the EPA Forms 1 and 2F for first-time applications, only. We will send the permittee a streamlined
renewal package sometime around, or shortly after, the 180 days.
Please contact me with any follow-up, or otherwise related, questions.
Thanks,
Ken

Subject: Permit Renewal Package for Individual Stormwater Discharge Permit
Ken,
I appreciated the time you took with me this morning discussing the proper procedure for filing a renewal
permit application for an individual stormwater discharge permit for one of our clients. The facility in question
is BRP US, Inc. located in Spruce Pine. This facility currently holds individual stormwater Permit NCS000093
which will expire at midnight on February 28, 2014. According to Part 111. Section B.1. of their current permit,
they are required to submit forms and fees as are required by the agency authorized to issue permits no later

than 180 days prior to the expiration date of the current permit. In this case, the required forms and fees would
be due by August 30, 2013.
Per our discussion, USEPA Forms 1 and 2F are only to be used by facilities seeking individual stormwater
permit coverage for the first time. Facilities that are seeking to renew an existing individual stormwater permit
are only required to respond to a Renewal Alert Package that is sent to them by your agency. Because of
agency constraints, you indicated that it was unlikely that BRP would receive this package prior to August 30,
2013; however you did indicate that they should receive the package well before the actual permit expiration
date.
I would appreciate it if you would confirm that my understanding of the permit renewal process for BRP is
correct.

Special Issues Explanation:
• On the application the permittee asked for the monitoring of methylene chloride to be removed because
it is not used in sufficient quantity. The permittee also wanted to not sample the last year if limits were not
exceeded the first three years. Finally, they wanted to make sure only Outfall 1 was to be monitored.
Outfall 1 is the only outfall associated with industrial activity and is the outfall of a stormwater pond
overflow.
Description of Onsite Activities:
Make headboards for boat engines. Spruce Pines, North Carolina is.a lost foam casting facility which
produces engine parts for OMC.
• Lost foam casting is an advanced technique in which very,complex parts can be produced by casting,
reducing the amount of subsequent machining needed to create a finish part. The technique involves use of a
styrofoam mold in the shape of the desired part, which is then surrounded with sand. Molten aluminum is

poured onto the mold, the metal taking the shape of the part and the foam burning off.

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: There are no other permits in BIMs.
FRS 11001281627 Bombardier Motor Corporation of America — Spruce Pine, CAA AFS 3712100088 BRP US Inc.,
NCR000137158 BRP US Inc., TRI 28777MCSR1025G BRP US Inc.
2. General Observations:
0 Outfall 1 is supposedly the only one with industrial activities. This outfall is the discharge of a
detention pond onsite.
3. Impairment: English Creek is not on the 303(d) and is not in the 2005 French Broad Basinwide Plan.
4. Threatened and Endangered: Based on the Natural Heritage Workroom there is one species that is state
protected. Glyptemys muhlenbergii (Bog Turtle) Threatened. There are no Federally protected species within 2
miles of the site.
5. Location: The outfall flows to a classified C; Tr stream.
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit:
4 h Qtr 2001- Addition of CNC machines using water soluble cutting fluid.
4" Qtr 2001- Addition of chrome conversion coating process using alkaline cleaner, acidic deoxidizer, acidic
chromate conversion bath and polymer seal (all water diluted in process with the process wastewater
discharged to the Town of Spruce Pine POTW per IUP Permit No. 002)
• 4'h Qtr 2001- Addition of porosity sealing process using methacrylate based sealant.
• 4d' Qtr 2001- Addition of dry filter spray painting booth using high solids two-part epoxy paint/catalyst and
methyl n-amyl ketone.
a 4" Qtr 2001- Addition of wastewater pre-treatment system using sulfuric acid, sodium metabisulfite, caustic
soda liquid, aluminum sulfate and flocculant.
0 2°d Qtr 2004 — Replaced catalytic oxidizer with regenerative thermal oxidizer.
• P Qtr 2006 — Installed new shotblast machine and dust collector — replaced existing units.
• 3`d Qtr 2006 — Addition of two CNC machines using water soluble cutting fluid.
7. Anal ical Monitoring Notes: Monitoring was done at one outfall seven times from 9/14/02 to 9/29/05. The
parameter sampled was Methylene Chloride.
In the 2008 EPA Sector -Specific General permit the SIC code 3365 is in the section Nonferrous Foundries (SIC
3363-3369) which recommends monitoring for Cu and Zn. This site's primary process is aluminum, though.
Their secondary SIC code is 3471 which is identified as "Plating and Polishing." Subsector AA1 in the EPA
Multi -Sector Permit, "Fabricated Metal Products except coating," includes monitoring for Total Al, Total Fe,
Total Zn, and Nitrate plus Nitrite Nitrogen.
Methylene Chloride did not show up in the monitoring, and there is no source on site. Therefore, the renewal
permit will remove methylene chloride from the current permit.
Potential pollutants for this site would be from aluminum chips on site and sand that is outside. The aluminum
chips are covered and have secondary containment but could be a stormwater problem with poor maintenance.
Al will be added to the analytical monitoring. Also, sand is stored outside so TSS will be added to the
monitoring.
Page 4 of 9

NCS000093
8, Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Visual monitoring was done at each of the six outfalls.- Eleven events were
monitored from 4/25/01 to 4/28/06. Much of the reporting is the same with none for color, odor, suspended
solids, clear for clarity, and no for foam and oil sheen. Outfall 4 and 5 had some oil sheen.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Removing Methylene Chloride from the monitoring and adding Al and TSS.
2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II
Section B. The'permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs
during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days
of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart,
as specified in Table 2.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values
require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a
benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall
follow the Tier.1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a
mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the
benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall
two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of
the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall
where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.
5. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative
outfalI status.
6. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
8. 'Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
1. Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each
outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant
spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to
ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section
A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More
details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not
contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and
activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR § 122.26(g), the facility may qualify
for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information
is provided in Part I Section A.

The purpose of this letter is to acknowledge the January 12, 2009 receipt of the draft S.oMYfwv NPDES
Permit NCS000093 issued to the BRP US Inc. facility located in Spruce Pine, Mitchell C6dfity. This draft
and all changes from the current permit have been reviewed and are understood.
At this time, I would like to request the following comments be considered when issuing the final permit
draft:
According to a September 14, 1993 letter to your office confirming a telephone conversation,
with Mr. Bill Mills, formerly of your office, only Outfall No. 1 should be monitored for the
NPDES permit. However, this is not clear in the current permit draft. For clarification, all
stormwater associated with industrial activity flows to the facility's stormwater retention pond
with overflow from this pond discharging only to Outfall No. 1. BRP requests consideration is
given to identify, in the renewed permit, Outfall No. 1 as the stormwater discharge outfall to
be monitored.
Thank you for your consideration of the comment submitted. Should you need additional information or

hi guys
the only additional thing that needs to be considered it that methylene chloride is a
known laboratory contaminant. It is seen in virtually all lab data due to its use in
extracting organic pollutants. So, when it is seen in samples-- I would check for its
presence in the blanks and associated quality control samples. It is very likely that
the surface water sample is not "contaminated" -- just the lab! (and they can not
control this problem!)

Nikki Remington wrote:
Hi Brian,
Thanks for checking on the units. The change to ug/L would put them in line with
what we would expect to see for a detection limit for methylene chloride. It's not
uncommon to see the limits that they are reporting vary slightly. The lowest
concentration that the lab can pick up may change based on things like
characteristics of the particular sample. Determining a stormwater benchmark for
methylene chloride is less straight forward than what has been done for other
chemicals. Most of the stormwater benchmarks that we calculate are based on the
protection of aquatic life. we use half of the acute value (1/2 FAV) from the most
sensitive species that we have data for. However, methylene chloride is a
carcinogen and the lowest standard would be based on protection of human health not
aquatic life. For surface water, the human health standard calculation takes into
account variables such as fish and water ingestion and other parameters that would
need to be modified in order to be useful in a stormwater situation. We could
calculate a benchmark but we'd have to sit down and figure out how we were going to
handle those modifications. My suggestion is that as long as the facility
continues to report non detects, no benchmark would probably be needed. However,
if they ever have any hits for methylene chloride then we may need to try to
calculate the benchmark value as it is a carcinogen. Just for reference, the
instream surface water standards are 4.6 ug/L for water supplies and 590 ug/L for
class C waters (per EPA's National Recommended Water Quality Criteria). Based on
those numbers it looks like if we calculated a benchmark it could potentially end
up being at or below detection. I know my explanation is probably confusing so let
me know if you have any questions.

Sorry, it looks like it is ug. Another interesting thing is most are < 5 ug but
one is < .25 ug. Not sure why.

Nikki Remington wrote:
Hi Brian,
Could you double check the units for the detection limit that they are
reporting? 5 mg/L seems pretty high. Our chem lab has the practical
quantitation limit for methylene chloride listed as 10 ug/L. I was just
curious why their lab isn't reporting lower.

Hey Nikki,
Thanks for helping us with the benchmark for acetone. I am working on a
renewal application and they previously monitored for Methylene Chloride
for their stormwater permit. All their results were "not detected < 5
mg/l." Do you have a benchmark or an helpful information on methylene
chloride?
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I finally have a benchmark calculated for acetone. The benchmark (1/2
EAV) is *17 mg/L* for freshwater_ Connie mentioned that if you are
seeing low levels you could check with the lab running the data to see
if it could be laboratory contamination. Acetone is commonly seen as a
chemical that can be picked up from lab sources. I hope this helps!
Let me know if you have any questions concerning the use of this number
or if there is anything else that you need.

monitoring results from an industrial facility that has been
sampling for acetone in its stormwater discharge. We don't
have a benchmark value to compare the results to (and we're a

acetone is so volatile, but they're obviously picking up
some)... could you check to see if you have any information or

Special Issues Explanation:
• On the application the permittee asked for the monitoring of methylene chloride to be removed because
it is not used in sufficient quantity. The permittee also wanted to not sample the last year if limits were not
exceeded the first three years. Finally, they wanted to make sure only Outfall 1 was to be monitored.

Special Issues Explanation:
• On the application the permittee asked for the monitoring of methylene chloride to be removed because
it is not used in sufficient quantity. The permittee also wanted to not sample the last year if limits were not
exceeded the first three years. Finally, they wanted to make sure only Outfall 1 was to be monitored.
Outfall 1 is the only outfall associated with industrial activity and is the outfall of a stormwater pond
overflow.

Central Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits: There are no other permits in BIMs.
FRS 11001281627 Bombardier Motor Corporation of America — Spruce Pine, CAA AFS 3712100088 BRP US Inc.,
NCR000137158 BRP US Inc., TRI 28777MCSR1025G BRP US Inc.
2. General Observations:
• Outfall 1 is supposedly the only one with industrial activities. This outfall is the discharge of a
detention pond onsite.
3. Impairment: English Creek is not on the 303(d) and is not in the 2005 French Broad Basinwide Plan.
4. Threatened and Endangered: Based on the Natural Heritage Workroom there is one species that is state
protected. Glyptemys muhlenbergii (Bog Turtle) Threatened. There are no Federally protected species within 2
miles of the site.
5. Location: The outfall flows to a classified C; Tr stream.
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit:
• 40 Qtr 2001- Addition of CNC machines using water soluble cutting fluid.
• 4'b Qtr 2001- Addition of chrome conversion coating process using alkaline cleaner, acidic deoxidizcr, acidic
chromate conversion bath and polymer seal (all water diluted in process with the process wastewater
discharged to the Town of Spruce Pine POTW per IUP Permit No. 002)
• 4`h Qtr 2001- Addition of porosity sealing process using methacrylate based sealant.
• 4d' Qtr 2001- Addition of dry filter spray painting booth using high solids two-part epoxy paint/catalyst and
methyl n-amyl ketone.
• 4"' Qtr 2001- Addition of wastewater pre-treatment system using sulfuric acid, sodium metabisulfite, caustic
soda liquid, aluminum sulfate and flocculant.
• 2°a Qtr 2004 Replaced catalytic oxidizer with regenerative thermal oxidizer.
• 3`d Qtr 2006 — Installed new shotblast machine and dust collector -- replaced existing units.
• 3`d Qtr 2006 — Addition of two CNC machines using water soluble cutting fluid.
7. Analytical Monitoring Notes: Monitoring was done at one outfall seven times from 9/14/02 to 9/29/05. The
parameter sampled was Methylene Chloride.
In the 2008 EPA Sector -Specific General permit the SIC code 3365 is in the section Nonferrous Foundries (SIC
3363-3369) which recommends monitoring for Cu and Zn. This site's primary process is aluminum, though.
Their secondary SIC code is 3471 which is identified as "Plating and Polishing." Subsector AA1 in the EPA
Multi -Sector Permit, "Fabricated Metal Products except coating," includes monitoring for Total Al, Total Fe,
Total Zn, and Nitrate plus Nitrite Nitrogen.
Methylene Chloride did not show up in the monitoring, and there is no source on site. Therefore, the renewal
permit will remove methylene chloride from the current permit.
Potential pollutants for this site would be from aluminum chips on site and sand that is outside. The aluminum
chips are covered and have secondary containment but could be a stormwater problem with poor maintenance.
Al will be added to the analytical monitoring. Also, sand is stored outside so TSS will be added to the
monitoring.
Page 4 of 9

NCS000093
Oualitative Monitoring Notes: Visual monitoring was done at each of the six outfalls. Eleven events were
monitored from 4/25/01 to 4/28/06. Much of the reporting is the same with none for color, odor, suspended
solids, clear for clarity, and no for foam and oil sheen. Outfall 4 and 5 had some oil sheen.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Removing Methylene Chloride from the monitoring and adding Al and TSS.
2. pH has been added to the analytical monitoring requirements.
3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II
Section B. The'permittee must also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs
during the sampling period, the penttittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days
of the end of the six-month sampling period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart,
as specified in Table 2.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values
require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a
benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall
follow the Tier.1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a
mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the
benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall
two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of
the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall
where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.
5. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part II Section B. Qualitative monitoring is required regardless of representative
outfall status.
6. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each
outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant
spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to
ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section
A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More
details regarding secondary containment are provided_
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part lI Section A.
The plan must also be updated annually to include a list of significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not
contain non-stormwater discharges.
4. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part II Section A.
5. Information regarding the No Exposure Exclusion has been added to this draft permit. If industrial materials and
activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR § 122.26(g), the facility may qualify
for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional information
is provided in Part I Section A.

SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The Permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this general permit. The Plan shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
Site Plan. The site plan shall provide a description of the,physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to"contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contafn the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted
equivalent map), showing the facility%s 1'oca�ion in relation to transportation
routes and surface waters, the name1ofthe receiving water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s) discharges oriif the`discharge is to a municipal separate
storm sewer system, the name of�the municipality and the ultimate receiving
waters, and accurate latitude and longitude of the point(s) of discharge. The
general location, ap�(or`lternativdfy the site map) shall identify whether each
receiving water is impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or is
located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the
parameter(s) ofconcernfare.
North Carolina's 303(d) List can be found here:

Permit No. NCS000093
(e) Certification 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 II1, Standard Conditions, Section
B, Paragraph 5. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater
outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges.
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following: /�
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical/and4nomic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to -eliminate or reduce
exposure of materials and processes to stormwater —Wherever practical, the
permittee shall prevent exposure of allstorage areas, material handling
operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination
of exposure is not practical, the stormwater,management plan shall document the
feasibility of diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential
contamination. %/ /( I//
(b) Secondary Contdinmen\Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage ofliquid materials; storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title III of he Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority chemicals`; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances, in
order to prevent•,leaks•and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table
or summary ofllsuch tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary
containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be
secured closed with a locking mechanism), and 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 the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management
Practices (BMP) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs
shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute
significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected
through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a
written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the
selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.
Part II Page 4 of 10

Permit No. NCS000093
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or the team) 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 the potential to
contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the
facility operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, 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 pro shall;b�e^developed. The program shall list
all stormwater control systems, stormwater discharge outfalls', all on -site and adjacent
surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity'areas (including material storage areas,
material handling areas, disposal areas process areas loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features and structuresand existing structural BMPs. The
program shall establish schedules of inspections; maintenance, and housekeeping
activities of stormwater control systems,tas well as facility equipment, facility areas, and
facility systems that present a potential fobstormwater exposure or stormwater pollution.
Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall
be incorporated into the program.. Timely compliance with the established schedules for
inspections, maintenance and housekeeping shall be recorded in writing and maintained
in the SPPP. Y\1
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. Facility personnel (or team)
responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training
shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.
6. Responsible Party. The Stortrtwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual
update shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the
previous three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall

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 representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours. X/�

The purpose of this letter is to request the renewal of Stormwater NPDES Permit NCS000093 issued to
The BRP US Inc. facility located in Spruce Pine, Mitchell County. I have enclosed two copies each of the
completed "Renewal Application Form", "Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Development and
Implementation Certification" form and "Supplemental Information Request" materials.
In reviewing the current permit, I would like to request the following comments be considered when
renewing the permit:
1, BRP believes that methylene chloride is not used in sufficient quantity at the facility to warrant
stormwater sampling. Methylene chloride has been non -detect in all samples collected,
analyzed and reported since 2002. BRP requests this sampling requirement be considered
for removal from the permit.
2. BRP believes sampling each quarter for the last year of the permit term is not warranted
unless established permit limits are exceeded during sampling which may be required during
the first three years of the permit term. BRP requests this requirement be considered for
removal from the permit.
3. According to a September 14, 1993 letter to your office confirming a telephone conversation,
with Mr. Bill Mills, formerly of your office, only Outfall No. 1 should be monitored for the
NPDES permit. However, this is not clear in the current permit. For clarification, all
stormwater associated with industrial activity flows to the facility's stormwater retention pond
