REGAN Secrefary TRACY DAVIS Director Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000107 LANXESS Corporation Guilford County Dear Mr. Vancil: 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 II, 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 Il, Section A. 3. Changes have been made to two monitoring parameters, including a change to one benchmark. Stormwater 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 as directed in the Tiers. • Vehicle maintenance (Tables 5,6) monitoring parameters have been revised as follows: o Non -Polar Oil & Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)] replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. 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. State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Energy, Mineral and Land Resources 1612 Mail Service Center 1 512 North Salisbury Street I Raleigh, NC 27699-1612 919 707 9200 T o pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated with vehicle maintenance activities. 4. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part Il, Section E to comply with federal regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring reports. This section of the permit will become effective December 21, 2016. 5. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal law in Part III, Section A, 2(b) and (g). Please review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days following your receipt of the draft.

The areas behind inside production area LP-2 are primarily for drum and tote filling on both liquid and molten materials. Filled drums are stored in warehouse by shipping dock. Cast molten material is stored on racks and shelves prior to being ground to meet customer specifications. Cast material solidifies quickly while filling and casting in LP 1 or LP2 diked production areas, to prevent spilling to environment. Drum recycling takes place on contained concrete pad behind LP2. Drum recycling consists of weak caustic rinse of emptied drums on concrete pad by automated filling equipment. Caustic in pumped into and out of drum. Concrete pad contains all spill to the sump, for collection to C6 pretreatment. C6 pretreatment is discharged to City of Greensboro POTW. All outside tanks are diked in the event of a spill or leak. Storm water from these dikes is pumped to collection in C6, prior to discharge to City of Greensboro POTW. Facility has equipment for recovery in the event of a spill or leak. No spills from the diked tank farms should ever be released to stormwater drainage system. Additionally the manufacturing areas designated on the map as (UP-], UP-2. LP-1, and LP-2, Flammable Storage Warehouse, Finished Product Storage. Centrifuge building, hot room storage, and Pilot Plot) are all designed to contain accidental spills or leaks to roadways and storm water discharge. Spill Prevention and Response Management Overview The identified potential pollutant sources at Lanxess Greensboro are: 1. Failed or broken valves, transfer lines, or hoses used during loading and unloading operations. 2. Accidental release of materials from the reactors, such as rupture discs, pressure relief valves activation, or in the event of attached broken valves or lines. I Accidental spills of materials while transporting containers between production and warehouse areas, including the flammable storage building, and the hot room storage buildings Daily management walk-arounds are conducted to assess status of tanks and production equipment. Work orders for needed improvements are recorded in computer system to track activity. Management will review improvements to ensure they are correctly performed. All personnel are trained to immediately inform supervisor or the plant manager in the event of a spill or threatened spill situation. If unable to immediately contact these persons. 911 should be dialed to explain the event in full detail including the need for the Greensboro Fire Department Hazmat Team. Actions to prevent further spill off on to soil, roadways; or storm water should be initiated after proper notification and alerts to surrounding personnel. The material released should be considered for flammability hazards, reportable quantities released, and environmental hazards associated.

Stateo€NorthCarolina I Environmental Quality 2I7 West Jones Street 1 1601 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Caroliaa 27699-1601 919 707 8600 Facility Site Review: This facility produces plasticizers and flame retardants as well as other chemical agents. The plant is under 24-hour surveillance with security and facility staff monitoring around the clock. There are three (3) alarms. One is for fire, one is for chemical spills and the other sounds if a disk ruptures. One area of the site has monitoring wells. A measure incorporated as part of groundwater/soils clean-up following a wastewater collection tanks collapse prior to Lanxess acquisition'from Unitex. A Pilot Plant has been removed, parking lot additions have taken place and a new tank farm has been installed since the latest siteplan was done. Please update the siteplan to include these changes during the next annual update. The facility has several tank farms. Some contain raw materials while others contain finished chemical products. All tanks are contained in tank farms with secondary containment. All process industrial water is pumped to City of Greensboro Wastewater Treatment Plant for treatment. Everything is done to avoid the possibility of wastewater entering the stormwater system. Effluent Receiving Waters: Stormwater from this facility empties into an unnamed tributary of South Buffalo Creek, Class w�J A NSW of the Cape Fear River Basin. Self -Monitoring Program: The plant has two (2) outfalls. Both storm drain lines have a valve that can be closed in the event of a spill to allow clean-up to take place without contamination of stormwater. If a spill requiring assistance were to occur, the Plant Manager or HSEQ Coordinator would contact Clean Harbor to perform clean-up and would contact the City of Greensboro Stormwater and NCDEQ for notification as required. Both qualitative and analytical monitoring,are required to be conducted twice annually at each outfall. Monitoring has been performed as required. Samples are se t to Pace Analytical. All yL monitoring is up to date and within required parameters. 1� }"3�`"� This inspection was conducted as part of the renewal process for Individual Stormwater Permit coverage at this facility.

REGAN Secretary TRACY DAVIS Director Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000107 LANXESS Corporation Guilford County Dear Mr. Vancil: 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: You are required to collect analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during "measurable storm events" as defined in Part II, 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. Changes have been made to two monitoring parameters, including a change to one benchmark. Stormwater 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 as directed in the Tiers. + Vehicle maintenance (Tables 5,6) monitoring parameters have been revised as follows: o Non -Polar Oil & Grease [EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)j replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. 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. State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Energy, Mineral and Land Resources 1612 Mail Service Center 1 512 North Salisbury Street I Raleigh, NC 27699-1612 919 707 9200 T o pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated with vehicle maintenance activities. 4. 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. This section of the permit will become effective December 21, 2016. 5. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal law in Part III, Section A, 2(b) and (g).

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 (NOI) form to the Division; must receive approval by the Division; must'maintin no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES•stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually. l SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES Until this permit expires or is modified°br revoked,the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North -Carolina or separate storm sewer system that has been adequately treated and'managed,in accordance with the terms and conditions of this permit. All stormwater discharges shall be in accordance with the conditions of this permit. Any other point source discharge; to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval. The stormwater discharges allowed by this permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality Standards. This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.

The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part Ill, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items: 1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential pollutant sources that may be�expected,to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site OVerviewshall contain the following: (a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle. ap arappropriately drafted equivalent 15 map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface / - ``w 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. uttimate 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 states 303(d) list of impaired waters) or if the site is'located.m a watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameters of concern are. (b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall. (c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands; industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow. (d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts. Part II Page 1 of 15 Permit No. NCS000107 (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 econoinic 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-flow\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 potentiacontamination. (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 Superfun&Aniend'ments 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. (c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a 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 2 of 15 Permit No. NC5000107 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 o,!�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 estabi lished 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 I1 B, C, and D of this permit. 6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained. 7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Part II Page 3 of 15 Permit No. NCS000107 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 discha ges'.(element-of the Site Overview); (c) a documented re-evaluation of the e`ffecttveness.of'the on -site stormwater BMPs (BMP Summary element of th Stormwater Management Strategy). (d) a review and comparison of sample. analyticandata to benchmark values (if applicable) over the past year„including a�discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall.us/e the/Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR) =available from the Stormwater Permitting Program's website•(See"MnitringForms' here: 1 The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the,permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule -to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made. 9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control contaminants entering surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees, including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon request. Part II Page 4 of 15 Permit No. NCS000107 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 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. Table 1.

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 measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading. The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal operating hours. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a "Tier Two" response. Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented Part II Page 5 of 15 Permit No. NC5000107 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.

The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process, even if a renewal -permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit. 2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No Flow' or/"No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period. Failure to monitor semi-annually permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall during a monitoring period does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported. The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase 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.

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 dischar a 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. Part 11 Page 7 of 15 Permit No. NCS000107 Tier Three If: The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analvtical 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 modification to:qual fyfor a No Exposure Exclusion; • require the vermittee to continue Tier Three oblieations:throuah_the-vermit renewal arocess. This site discharges to impaired waters experiencing problems with biological integrity, turbidity, and ammonia. A Total Maximum Daily/Load-(TMDL) is approved for this segment of South Buffalo Creek. As such, the permittee may be required to monitor for the pollutant(s) of concern in the future and/submit_ results to the Division. The Division will consider the monitoring results in determining -whether additional BMPs are needed to control the pollutant(s) of concern to the maximum extent practicable. If additional BMPs are neede�achievet required level of control, the permittee will be required to (1) develop a strategy for'' implementing appropriate BMPs, and (2) submit a timetable for incorporation of those BMPs into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event. Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified in Table 4, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions). Part ll Page 8 of 15 Permit No. NCS000107 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.

The perm tttee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal process until a new permit is issued. 2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative -mon iforing shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) regardless of representative outfall status. A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit. If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Part ll Page 9 of 15 Permit No. NC5000107 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 modifircaattions� oualify for a No Exposure Exclusion. SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE,MONI ORING REQUIREMENTS Facilities that have an vehicle maintenance cactivity"occurring on -site which uses more than S5 gallons of new motor'oil per month when averaged over the calendar year shall perform analytical monitortng,asspecified below in Table S. All analytical monitoring shall be performed during•a measureable storm event at all stormwater discharge outfalls (SDOs) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas, and in accordance with the/sch�,presented in Table 2 (Section B). 1 Table S.

See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting cycle. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit or the Division. 2 Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall be begun within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed. Part II Page 10 of 15 Permit No. NCS000107 3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicle maintenance activities occur, unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site. 4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge may be substituted for an on -site reading. Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period, as provided in Part I1 Section B. Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 6. The benchmark values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should be used as.guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management-Practices-(BMPs), as provided in Part II Section B.

To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce minimum detection and reporting levels and all data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method must be used. 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.

(along a very populated corridor of I-85), and South Buffalo Creek suffers from several impacts of this urbanization. The stream is filled with debris, and the banks are eroded. This creek has had problems with fluoride, cyanide, selenium (TMDL developed for these pollutants), as well as turbidity (2006 Impaired Waters [303(d)] List), and it remains on the current draft 303(d) List for impaired biological integrity. There was no information readily available about the TMDL approved for this creek in 1997; however, this facility should not be a point source of fluoride, cyanide, or selenium. The Metro (T.Z. Osborne) WWTP (NC0047384) discharges further downstream of Unitex Chemical and has had significant cyanide permit limit violations in the past. The Unitex facility is also inside Greensboro, whose MS4 was permitted as part of the Phase I stormwater regulations. The Cape Fear Basinwide Plan recommends that the city of Greensboro continue to monitor water quality in South Buffalo Creek, and that DWQ continue to work with the City to identify measures for reducing stormwater impacts to the creek. The facility does not discharge to Greensboro's MS4, but Greensboro's efforts could still affect the site. 4. Threatened and Endangered: None identified in NC Natural Heritage Program Virtual Workroom GIS database (Queried 4/2/2008). Page 3of8 NCS000107 5. Location: Facility is within Greensboro, near I-40 and US-29, northwest of South Buffalo Creek. 6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: During the previous permit term, there have been installations of new buildings, a new line inside the process plant, and new process components (e.g., distillation column). Wastewater piping and equipment have also been modified. Notable industrial process change: liquid phthalate plasticizer manufacture has ceased at this plant. See discussions with penmittee about current industrial activities. Chemicals Stored: Company submitted list of chemicals stored (see excerpt from Accidental Discharge Plan, attached). A variety of organics (including alcohols and solvents), sulfonamides, caustics, fuel oil, etc. are listed. All tank areas diked and alarmed, and only one loading area is uncovered (which drains to sump with ability to pump to POTW). These areas do not appear to pose a large concern for stormwater contamination given the facility's storage practices and ability to contain/divert spills. Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and pH are appropriate indicators for problems during this permit term. Future reviewers may consider removing at the next renewal if values are consistently below benchmarks, unless these parameters are deemed useful for continued vigilance. Anal3jical Monitoring Notes: There was quarterly monitoring of total nitrogen required in the fourth year of the permit only. Company monitored/reported TKN instead (nitrates/nitrite concentrations not included) for four sampling periods. TKN concentrations were well below benchmark of 20 mg/l, but no reason to expect high levels of nitrate/nitrite concentrations. See Table 1. The last sample was just outside the final quarter dates. Continued nitrogen (TN) monitoring is not recommended. There is no phosphorus data to date, but also no apparent sources —no TP monitoring recommended. 9. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: No problems noted.

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD benchmark 120 mg/1), o-Xylene (benchmark 4.03 mg/1), and pH (within 6- 9, standard when any monitoring required) have been added to the analytical monitoring requirements. COD is a good general surrogate for identifying contamination from the types of materials stored here —particularly at a business where specialty organic chemical products change periodically depending on market demand. Xylcne is a prominent chemical stored, used, and reported in the TRI (o-xylene is the specified isomer, boiling point 144.50 C) and is not as volatile as the alcohols stored on site. However, sufficient data below the benchmark would justify removing xylene monitoring during the next permit term. COD and pH may continue to be useful indicators in future permit terms or may not be necessary. 2. Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Recoverable Zinc arc proposed in the EPA draft 2006 Multi -Sector Permit for this industry category (which is very broad). However, the reviewer does not see a basis to introduce those parameters in the renewal permit at this time. There are no noted solids problems and no sources of zinc in the materials used here. 3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part Il 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 response guidelines in the permit. 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. Permittee responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued (see Footnotes of Tables 1, 4, and 5). 7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall and event duration parameters are 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 1I 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. Page 6 of 8 NCS000107 Discussions with permittee: Dr. Jim Day, (336) 378-0965, April 3, 2008: 1. Q: Facility ceased making phthalates some time ago. What does this site manufacture now? a. ANSWER: Mostly additives for plastics. There are three main categories of products: (1) flame retardants for plastics (e.g., wiring), (2) plasticizers for nylon (e.g., sulfonamide -based chemicals that make nylon more flexible for use in fuel hoses, for example), and (3) orefins used in paper and cosmetics. 2. Q: What is stored and loaded/unloaded outside? a. ANSWER: All tank farms are diked and alarmed; major raw materials stored are things like ethyl hexanol, xylene, and finished products. Will send flow plan submitted to City as part of SIU requirement that will show all materials stored [attached]. 3. Q: Is there a list of chemicals stored on site? a. ANSWER: Yes, the company maintains this information for its SIU (Significant Industrial User) permit with the City. Will send a copy [excerpt attached].

The area behind LP-2 is used for different operations. Loading products straight from reactors to a tanker. This area is also used to unloading molten materials that solidify quickly upon cooling and present minimal danger to sewer/storm water contamination. In addition, the area has sloped drainage to sumps, which empty into the wastewater collection tank for ultimate discharge to the Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). All manufacturing areas are covered to prevent exposure to sewer/storm water. All outside storage tanks are diked with connections only for recovery of material in the event of a spill or for discharge to the POTW. No discharges from the diked areas shall be released to the storm water drainage system. The manufacturing areas (UP-1, UP-2, LP-1, LP-2), flammable storage warehouse, drum storage heated warehouse, centrifuge building, and pilot plant are designed to contain accidental spills or leaks and prevent their run off to the outside. All of these areas have controlled drainage systems and must be manually pump by personnel. Raw material and finished products at Unitex are stored in enclosed warehouses or other covered plant areas, or in bulk storage tanks. All bulk storage tanks are contained in concrete diked areas that have no direct outlets to the sewer system/storm sewer. Bulk materials are unloaded/loaded into/from tank trucks under a covered loading station through stainless steel transfer lines to designated storage tanks or directly into the manufacturing equipment. Drummed, bagged, or other non -bulk materials are load/unloaded at shipping/receiving docks and are not exposed to storm water/sewer. Prevention of contaminants into the sewer/storm water system at Unitex will be accomplished by inspection of all operating equipment, storage areas, storage tanks, and loading/ unloading areas for leaking lines, valves, and associated equipment. This shall be done in conjunction with the monthly inspections conducted by the Maintenance Department and documented on the inspection reports. Also, each shift supervisor has a walk through the plant a minimum of twice during their shift looking at the equipment in all areas of the plant. The plants personal are constantly walking through the plant while doing their job and are instructed to report anything that looks out of the ordinary. The Unitex facility is inspected by an outside security service and by supervisory/administrative personnel during weekends, holidays, and other shutdown periods for general conditions of the facility, including spills and leaks. Another way the Unitex tries to reduce accidental spills is the use of transfer sheets. The operator to ensure that material transferred to/from the bulk storage tanks will accommodate the amount being transferred to the tank/reactor uses a transfer sheet. This sheet must be reviewed and signed off by the shift supervisor and the operator that is making the transfer.

All spills within the facility, including driveways, loading/unloading areas, and diked areas shall be immediately cleaned up for proper disposition, as directed by the Plant Manager. Absorbent materials are maintained on -site for use in cleaning up spills (e.g., "floor" absorbent, pigs). Emergency Response Equipment and Procedures Emergency Equipment There are multiple radios located with key personal through out the plant during all operation hours. The plant manager and the environmental manager also have beepers in order to be contacted after hours. All tank farms are contained inside concrete dikes and the pumps inside the tank farms pump to a central controlled tank (C6). All tanks have level alarms that sound inside and outside the plant at 70% and 80% capacity. All drains inside the operation areas drain to a central controlled location. If material is spilled inside the warehouses and the production areas, there are floor drains and sloped floors to keep the material inside the building. There is floor dry absorbent material located in Flammable storage warehouse, S-l; S-3, and P-3/Centrifuge building in order to absorb spills and to prevent material from entering unwanted areas. There are also PIGS in S-1 to contain small spills. All plant personnel are trained in the use of protective equipment and are issued a respirator. These respirators are located in the employees' lockers. Certain personnel are trained in the use of SCBA type respirator. These respirators are located in S-2 and the Stripper shack near gate 1. The plant is equipped with ventilation fans through out the facility. These ventilation fans are usually running during normal plant operations. There are two first aid kits available to plant personnel during operational hours. One is in S-2 near the Quality Coordinators' Office and the other is in the maintenance shop near tank farm E. This facility is protected by a sprinkler fire protection system. These systems shall be maintained and tested in accordance with OSHA regulations and local codes by ADT. Fifty-four fire extinguishers and five standpipe hoses are located in the following areas: SI, S2; S3, P3(grinding side); and flame shed, which locations are in accordance with the Greensboro Fire Department regulations. There also two water cannon located near the tank farm. One is located beside tank farm B. And the other is located between tank farms D and C near gate #5. These items are inspected and maintained by outside subcontractors in accordance with applicable regulations. Issue Date: 2/18/08 Supersedes: 8129/06 Page 5 of 10 Procedures: Raw material and finished products at Unitex are stored in enclosed warehouses or other covered plant areas, as well as in bulk storage tanks. All bulk storage tanks are contained in concrete diked areas that have no direct outlets to the storm sewer/ sewer. Bulk materials are unloaded/loaded into/from tank trucks under a covered loading station through stainless steel transfer lines to designated storage tanks or directly into the manufacturing equipment with the exception of the aforementioned area behind LP-2. These areas has sloped drainage to sumps, which empty into the wastewater collection tank for ultimate discharge to the Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). Drummed, bagged, or other non -bulk materials are load/unloaded at shipping/receiving docks and are not exposed to storm sewers/sewers. Any person in the Unitex Facility, upon discovery of a spill shall immediately inform his shift supervisor or the Plant Manager. The Plant Manager or his designate is responsible for spills assessment and will coordinate the clean-up efforts. Actions to prevent run-off of the spill shall be initiated promptly. In case of a small spill, absorbent material (stored in the flammable storage warehouse, product storage area S-2, product storage area S-3, and P-3/Centrifuge area) will be placed on the spill and shoveled into drums for disposal at a licensed waste disposal facility for hazardous material. Nonhazardous waste is disposed of to permitted secure landfills, permitted Waste Disposal Facilities, or through BFI; dumpsters are on -site for such collection for disposal through BFI. Nonhazardous waste that is acceptable to the sanitary landfill is shipped to the Greensboro landfill. In case of a large spill, the material will be contained within the plant area, pumped into a licensed hazardous waste tanker and hauled to a licensed waste disposal site. A spill of non -hazardous material shall be evaluated, with the assistance and concurrence of the POTW, for discharge to the POTW. If this is not allowed, the contaminated water shall be pumped into one or more of the diked areas for disposal, as determined appropriate by environmental management, plant management and corporate management, and in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations. Only those personnel who have received training to first responder level shall be allowed to remediate, or otherwise handle, hazardous materials resulting from an incident. If evacuation is needed, the fire alarm will be pulled to indicate an evacuation is necessary. All employees hearing the alarm will immediately initiate emergency shutdown of process equipment and proceed by the nearest safe exit to the easterly parking lot entrance (Gate Number 1) on Broome Road (atmospheric conditions permitting, see wind direction by observing wind sock on SR-1720 Alcohol Distillation Column). The Emergency Coordinator will immediately conduct a roll call to determine if all Unitex personnel, contractor employees, and visitors are accounted for. An employee roster is located in the "MSDS" orange storage box at Gate 1. If possible, visitor logs shall be retrieved from the facility for verification that all on -site personnel are accounted for. All persons will remain at Gate Number 1 for further instructions from the Emergency Coordinator or the Emergency Management Representative.

Total Flow The flow corresponding to the time period over which the entire storm event occurs. Total flow shall be either; (a) measured continuously, (b) calculated based on the amount of area draining to the outfall, the amount of built -upon (impervious) area, and the total amount of rainfall, or (c) estimated by the measurement of flow at 20 minute intervals during the rainfall event. Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDQ A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the pollutant's sources. A TMDL is a detailed water quality assessment that provides the scientific foundation for an implementation plan. The implementation plan outlines the steps necessary to reduce pollutant loads in a certain body of water to restore and maintain water quality standards in all seasons. Thet Clean Water Act, section 303, establishes the water quality standards and -TMDL programs. //^` �_ \ 17 33. Toxic Pollutant 34. 35. 36. 37 Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1),of-the Clean;Water Act.

Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality May 13, 2008 Mr. James F. Day, Ph. D. Unitex Chemical Corporation P.O. Box 16344 Greensboro, North Carolina 27406 Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000107 Unitex Chemical Corporation Guilford County Dear Dr. Day: Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Several of these changes reflect the Division's revised strategy for all stormwater renewal permits. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit: • Total Nitrogen (TN) monitoring has been removed from Part II, Sec. B. • Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), o-Xylene, and pH monitoring have been added Part II, Sec. B, based on the types of materials stored at this facility. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part II, Sec. B. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, you 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. This schedule also applies to monitoring triggered by vehicle maintenance activities. This change reflects the Division's revised strategy for renewal permits and makes stormwater sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. - The Division has incorporated benchmark values into the permit. These benchmarks are not 12ermit limits. However, exceedences 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 tiered responses outlined in the permit. • Total Flow monitoring has been removed. The permit still requires Total Rainfall amount be recorded for each sampling event. This change is also based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits. Please note that the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) site map must include drainage area for each outfall in acres and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part II, Sec. A). + Qualitative monitoring must now be performed during the analytical monitoring event (i.e., during a representative storm event). §'9r Carolina Atura!!y North Carolina Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service CenterRaleigh, NC 27699-1617 Phone (919) 733-5083 Customer Service Internet: www.ncwatcr4ualitygre Location: 512 N.

Skvarla, III Secretary Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal Unitex Chemical Corporation Permit Number NCS000107 Guilford County Dear Permtttee: Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000107. This permit expires on 6/30/2013. To assure consideration for continued coverage under your individual permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit. Enclosed you will find an individual permit Renewal Application Form, Supplemental Information request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Certification for your facility. Filing the application form along with the requested supplemental information will constitute your application for renewal of this permit. Until your permit renewal is completed and you receive a new permit, please continue to comply with all conditions and monitoring requirements in your expired NPDES stormwater permit. Please comlete and return the application and supplemental information to DWQ by April 5. 2 1 . Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in delay of your permit renewal. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day. If you have any questions regarding permit renewal procedures please contact Bradley Bennett of the Stormwater Permitting Unit at (919)-807-6378 or bradley.bennett@ncdenr.gov.

Test methods should be EPA methods in accordance with 40 CFR 136. Your lab may already be familiar with these, but a good source of information is on our lab's website: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/lab/downioad.htm 2. Technically, no, a certified lab is not required for stormwater-only discharges (NC Certification Rules don't apply). However, the methods for analyzing the samples still need to be in accordance with EPA methods (per federal NPDES rules). As long as your lab can conform to those (and pH is measured within the 15-minute holding time), Unitex will be in compliance with analytical monitoring requirements under its stormwater permit. If not, an NC certified lab will perform those tests in accordance with the correct methods. 3. Monitoring forms are available on our website (http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms Documents.htm#miscforms). We are about to update the Qualitative Monitoring form, so you may want to check back after your permit has been finalized. 4. The drainage area for each outfall should be determined with the aid of your site map records and topo grades. I'd recommend looking at EPA's SPPP guidance document that is on our website -- there is a section on delineating outfalls and drainage areas. The link is here: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Manuals Factsheets.htm Find the stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Guidance Document(middleof the table), and go to pgs 3-4. If you have other questions or comments, please let me know. Regards,. Bethany Georgoulias Jim Day wrote: Dear Bethany, I have received the draft permit for Unitex Chemical Corporation NCS000107.

(along a very populated corridor of 1-85), and South Buffalo Creek suffers from several impacts of this urbanization. The stream is filled with debris, and the banks are eroded. This creek has had problems with fluoride, cyanide, selenium (TMDL developed for these pollutants), as well as turbidity (2006 Impaired Waters [303(d)] List), and it remains on the current draft 303(d) List for impaired biological integrity. There was no information readily available about the TMDL approved for this creek in 1997; however, this facility should not be a point source of fluoride, cyanide, or selenium. The Metro (T.Z. Osborne) WWTP (NC0047384) discharges further d6wnstream of Unitex Chemical and has had significant cyanide permit limit violations in the past. The Unitex facility is also inside Greensboro, whose MS4 was permitted as part of the Phase I stormwater regulations. The Cape Fear Basinwide Plan recommends that the city of Greensboro continue to monitor water quality in South Buffalo Creek, and that DWQ continue to work with the City to identify measures for reducing stormwater impacts to the creek. The facility does not discharge to Greensboro's MS4, but Greensboro's efforts could still affect the site. 4. Threatened and Endangered: None identified in NC Natural Heritage Program Virtual Workroom GIS database (Queried 4/2/2008). Page 3 of 8 NCS000107 5. Location: Facility is within Greensboro, near I-40 and US-29, northwest of South Buffalo Creek. 6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: During the previous permit term, there have been installations of new buildings, a new line inside the process plant, and new process components (e.g., distilIation column). Wastewater piping and equipment have also been modified. Notable industrial process change: liquid phthalate plasticizer manufacture has ceased at this plant. See discussions with permittee about current industrial activities. Chemicals Stored: Company submitted list of chemicals stored (see excerpt from Accidental Discharge Plan, attached). A variety of organics (including alcohols and solvents), sulfonamides, caustics, fuel oil, etc. are listed. All tank areas diked and alarmed, and only one loading area is uncovered (which drains to sump with ability to pump to POTW). These areas do not appear to pose a large concern for stormwater contamination given the facility's storage practices and ability to contairddivert spills. Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and pH are appropriate indicators for problems during this permit term. Future reviewers may consider removing at the next renewal if values are consistently below benchmarks, unless these parameters are deemed useful for continued vigilance. Analytical Monitoring Notes: There was quarterly monitoring of total nitrogen required in the fourth year of the permit only. Company monitored/reported TKN instead (nitrates/nitrite concentrations not included) for four sampling periods. TKN concentrations were well below benchmark of 20 mgll, but no reason to expect high levels of nitrate/nitrite concentrations. See Table 1. The last sample was just outside the final quarter dates. Continued nitrogen (TN) monitoring is not recommended. There is no phosphorus data to date, but also no apparent sources —no TP monitoring recommended. 9. Qualitative Monitoring Notes: No problems noted.

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD benchmark 120 mg/I), o-Xylene (benchmark 4.03 mg/i), and pH (within 6- 9, standard when any monitoring required) have been added to the analytical monitoring requirements. COD is a good general surrogate for identifying contamination from the types of materials stored here —particularly at a business where specialty organic chemical products change periodically depending on market demand. Xylene is a prominent chemical stored, used, and reported in the TRI (o-xylene is the specified isomer, boiling point I44.50 C) and is not as volatile as the alcohols stored on site. However, sufficient data below the benchmark would justify removing xylene monitoring during the next permit term. COD and pH may continue to be useful indicators in future permit terms or may not be necessary. 2. Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Recoverable Zinc are proposed in the EPA draft 2006 Multi -Sector Permit for this industry category (which is very broad). However, the reviewer does not see a basis to introduce those parameters in the renewal permit at this time. There are no noted solids problems and no sources of zinc in the materials used here. 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 response guidelines in the permit. 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. Permittee responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued (see Footnotes of Tables 1, 4, and 5). 7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall and event duration parameters are 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 11 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. Page 6 of 8 NCS000107 Discussions with permittee: Dr. Jim Day, (336) 378-0965, April 3, 2008: 1. Q: Facility ceased making phthalates some time ago. What does this site manufacture now? a. ANSWER: Mostly additives for plastics. There are three main categories of products: (1) flame retardants for plastics (e.g., wiring), (2) plasticizers for nylon (e.g., sulfonamide -based chemicals that make nylon more flexible for use in fuel hoses, for example), and (3) orefins used in paper and cosmetics. 2. Q: What is stored and loaded/unloaded outside? a. ANSWER: All tank farms are diked and alarmed; major raw materials stored are things like ethyl hexanol, xylene, and finished products. Will send flow plan submitted to City as part of S1U requirement that will show all materials stored [attached]. 3. Q: Is there a list of chemicals stored on site? a. ANSWER: Yes, the company maintains this information for its SIU (Significant Industrial User) permit with the City. Will send a copy [excerpt attached]. Page 7 of 8 NCS000107 Recommendations: Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on March 22, 2004 sufficient to issue an Individual Storinwater Permit.

The area behind LP-2 is used for different operations. Loading products straight from reactors to a tanker. This area is also used to unloading molten materials that solidify quickly upon cooling and present minimal danger to sewer/storm water contamination. In addition, the area has sloped drainage to sumps, which empty into the wastewater collection tank for ultimate discharge to the Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). All manufacturing areas are covered to prevent exposure to sewer/storm water. All outside storage tanks are diked with connections only for recovery of material in the event of a spill or for discharge to the POTW. No discharges from the diked areas shall be released to the storm water drainage system. The manufacturing areas (UP-], UP-2, LP-1, LP-2), flammable storage warehouse, drum storage heated warehouse, centrifuge building, and pilot plant are designed to contain accidental spills or leaks and prevent their run off to the outside. All of these areas have controlled drainage systems and must be manually pump by personnel. Raw material and finished products at Unitex are stored in enclosed warehouses or other covered plant areas, or in bulk storage tanks. All bulk storage tanks are contained in concrete diked areas that have no direct outlets to the sewer system/storm sewer. Bulk materials are unloaded/loaded into/from tank trucks under a covered loading station through stainless steel transfer lines to designated storage tanks or directly into the manufacturing equipment. Drummed, bagged, or other non -bulk materials are load/unloaded at shipping/receiving docks and are not exposed to storm water/sewer. Prevention of contaminants into the sewer/storm water system at Unitex will be accomplished by inspection of all operating equipment, storage areas; storage tanks, and loading/ unloading areas for leaking lines, valves. and associated equipment. This shall be done in conjunction with the monthly inspections conducted by the Maintenance Department and documented on the inspection reports. Also, each shift supervisor has a walk through the plant a minimum of twice during their shift looking at the equipment in all areas of the plant. The plants personal are constantly walking through the plant while doing their job and are instructed to report anything that looks out of the ordinary. The Unitex facility is inspected by an outside security service and by supervisory/administrative personnel during weekends, holidays, and other shutdown periods for general conditions of the facility, including spills and leaks. Another way the Unitex tries to reduce accidental spills is the use of transfer sheets. "Che operator to ensure that material transferred to/from the bulk storage tanks will accommodate the amount being transferred to the tank/reactor uses a transfer sheet. This sheet must be reviewed and signed off by the shift supervisor and the operator that is making the transfer. Issue Date: 2/18108 Supersedes: 8/29/06 Page 4 of 10 Daily washing down the production areas. so that spilled materials will not be "tracked" outdoors for potential seNver/storm water contamination. All spills within the facility, including driveways, loading/unloading areas, and diked areas shall be immediately cleaned up for proper disposition, as directed by the Plant Manager. Absorbent materials are maintained on -site for use in cleaning up spills (e.g., "floor" absorbent, pigs). Emergency Response Equipment and Procedures Emergency Equipment There are multiple radios located with key personal through out the plant during all operation hours. The plant manager and the environmental manager also have beepers in order to be contacted after hours. All tank farms are contained inside concrete dikes and the pumps inside the tank farms pump to a central controlled tank (U). All tanks have level alarms that sound inside and outside the plant at 70% and 80% capacity. All drains inside the operation areas drain to a central controlled location. If material is spilled inside the warehouses and the production areas, there are floor drains and sloped floors to keep the material inside the building. There is floor dry absorbent material located in Flammable storage warehouse, S-1; S-3, and P-3/Centrifuge building in order to absorb spills and to prevent material from entering unwanted areas. There are also PIGS in S-1 to contain small spills. All plant personnel are trained in the use of protective equipment and are issued a respirator. -These respirators are located in the employees' lockers. Certain personnel are trained in the use of SCBA type respirator. These respirators are located in S-2 and the Stripper shack near gate 1. The plant is equipped with ventilation fans through out the facility: These ventilation fans are usually running during normal plant operations. There are two first aid kits available to plant personnel during operational hours. One is in S-2 near the Quality Coordinators' Office and the other is in the maintenance shop near tank farm E.

Sullins, Director w - Division of Water Quality Mr. James F. Day, Ph. D. Unitex Chemical Corporation P.O. Box 16344 Greensboro, North Carolina 27406 Dear Dr. Day: May 13, 2008 FMAY IVED . of ENR z 2008 •Safem Regional t?`!]ce Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCS000107 Unitex Chemical Corporation Guilford County Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Several of these changes reflect the Division's revised strategy for all stormwater renewal permits. Please review the'draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's current permit: • Total Nitrogen (TN) monitoring has been removed from Part I1, Sec. B. • Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), o-Xylene, and pH monitoring have been added Part 11, Sec. B, based on the types of materials stored at this facility. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part 11, Sec. B. -If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, you 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. This schedule also applies to monitoring triggered by vehicle maintenance activities. This change reflects the Division's revised strategy for renewal permits and makes stormwater sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. The Division has incorporated benchmark values into the permit. These benchmarks are not permit limits. However, exceedences 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 tiered responses outlined in the permit. • Total Flow monitoring has been removed. The permit still requires Total Rainfall amount be recorded for each sampling event. This change is also based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits. Please note that the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) site map must include drainage area for each outfall in acres and the percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part II, Sec. A). • Qualitative monitoring must now be performed during the analytical monitoring event (i.e., during a Carolina representative storm event).

Stormwater Management Plan At Unitex, all loading and unloading areas are covered with exception of Tankwagon unloading behind LP-2 production areas (this area is rarely utilized). All production areas and tank farm pads/dikes are collected in a tank for discharge to the local PQTW. These areas are designed for spill containment of accidental spills/leaks and to prevent run off outside. No discharges are allowed to the stormwater runoff outfall. Empty containers stored outside shall be triple rinsed. All chemicals will be stored in areas with secondary containment. All containers will be sealed in storage. All containment areas will have discharge valves closed at all times. 2. Spill Prevention and Response Plan The Spill Prevention and Response Plan is in place as part of the Emergency Contingency Plan for the facility. This plan is reviewed and drilled on an annual cycle. The facility is inspected by an outside contract security service and by supervisory personnel during periods when the facility is not in operation (e.g. weekends, holidays, and other shutdown periods). 3. Preventive Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program Routine and preventive maintenance is performed under the supervision of the Maintenance Supervisor and the Plant Manager. This activity includes daily, weekly and monthly inspections of various pieces of equipment in the facility. Each shift supervisor inspects the entire facility every 12 hours for leaks, spills, repairs and for areas requiring housekeeping. 4. Employee Training The Spill Prevention and Response Plan is part of the facility Emergency Contingency Plan with a focus topic on the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. All operations/lab/supervisory personnel receive annual training. All new employees receive training prior to being released for duty. 2 5. Facility Inspections and Recordkeeping Facility inspections are conducted and records are maintained. Documentation of the inspections and corrective actions as necessary is maintained with this plan. 6. Sediment and Erosion Control No areas in the facility have a high potential for significant soil erosion. Equipment is available on -site to aid in sediment and erosion control. Grass or stone are located in areas which as impervious. 7. Management of Run-off The primary source of stormwater run-off is the run-off from I-85/I-40 at the perimeter of the facility. A run-off drain dumps to the containment pad behind LP-2, which discharges to the industrial wastewater tank (and the POTW). Significant Changes to Facility Over the last five years there have been some significant changes to the plant facility. These changes include: - Construction, installation and start-up of a self-contained drying and micronizing building. - Installation and start-up of a self-contained drumming line with feed tank inside the process plant. - Installation of a self-contained alcohol recovery distillation column. • Installation of an additional centrifuge in the centrifuge operations building. - Modification of wastewater piping and equipment to improve efficiency and operability. All manufacture of liquid phthalate plasticizers have ceased. New product development has focused on the development and manufacture of environmentally friendly processes and products. No significant spills have occurred inside or outside the process plant or the facility perimeter over the last 5 years. 3 L_J L t L. I V .l 1 1 I 1 I. 1( .1 i 1,! i I 1 f I i f I` I'RV COM N.

For each parameter, no additional benchmark monitoring is required if the average of your 4 monitoring values does not exceed the benchmark (see Part 3.2.2.3). However, for each parameter there are additional requirements if the average of your four monitoring values exceeds the benchmark (see Part 3.2.2.4). 2Monitor once per year for each monitoring year. ' The benchmark value of lead is determined as a function of hardness (in units of mg/L) in the water column. The value given in Table C-1 (i.e. 0.082 mg/L) corresponds to a hardness of 100 mg/L and should be used if you either did not analyze water hardness, other hardness data are not available, or the water hardness is less than 100 mg/L. If a laboratory analysis indicates that the water hardness is below 100 mg/L, then you should use the benchmark for 100 mg/L. If a laboratory analysis indicates that the water hardness is greater than 100 mg/L, then the following equation may be used to determine the benchmark value for lead: Benchmark = (e I0.273)(ln hardness) — 1.4601)/1000 Example: Laboratory analysis of your water sample indicates the hardness is I75 mg/L. Benchmark = (e [(1.273)(1n 175) — 1.460] )/1000 _ (e5.1148)/1000 = 166.46/1000 = 0.17 mg/L Part 4 — Sector C 49 i Proposed 2006 MSGP The following are example benchmark value for lead: Hardness (ma,/L) Benchmark value (mg/L) 100 0.082 125 0.11 150 0.14 175 0.17 200 0.20 225 0.23 250 0.26 4 The benchmark value of zinc is determined as a function of hardness (in units of mg/L) in'the water column. The value given in Table C-I (i.e. 0.12 mg/L) corresponds to a hardness of 100 mg/L and should be used if you either did not analyze water hardness, other hardness data are not available, or the water hardness is less than 100 mg/L. If a laboratory analysis indicates that the water hardness is below 100 mg/L, then you should use the benchmark for 100 mg/L. If a laboratory analysis indicates that the water hardness is greater than 100 mg/L, then the following equation may be used to determine the benchmark value for zinc: Benchmark — (e [(0.8473)(In hardness) + 0.8841 )/1000 Erample: Laboratory analysis of your water sample indicates the hardness is 175 mg/L. Benchmark = (e [(0.8473)(in 175) + 0.884])/ 1000 = (e5.26)/1000 = 192.51 / 1000 = 0.19 mg/L The following are example benchmark values for Zinc: Part 4 — Sector C Hardness (mg/L) Benchmark value (mg/L) 100 0.12 125 0.14 150 0.17 175 0.19 200 0.22 225 0.24 250 0.26 50 Detailed Facility Report 9Map Returned Facility Report Data Y Error Diction Facility Permits and Identifiers I Data Dictionary Statute ISystern I Source ID I Facility Name I Street Address City Istats Zip F_1 FRS FRS520 .... 110000346581 UNITEX CHEMICAL BROOME RD.

Previously they had no analytical monitoring requirements, but since they are in NSW waters in the Cape Fear River Basin and recently added a bulk liquid nitrogen tank, and their nitrogen numbers were borderline when their application was initially submitted Total Nitrogen has been added as a parameter to monitor. None of their processes use phosphorous, so it was not added. They will only be required to monitor the last year of their permit because they complied well with their existing permit.

Page 2 of 2 8/1/94 SITE PLAN Attached is a site plan showing the Unitex Facility in relation to transportation routes, surface waters, and receiving water (South Buffalo Creek) of the Stormwater outfalls. Raw material and finished products at Unitex are stored in enclosed warehouses or other covered plant areas, as well as in bulk storage tanks. All bulk storage tanks are contained in concrete diked areas that have no direct outlets to the storm sewer. Bulk materials are unloaded/loaded intolfrom tank trucks under a covered loading station through stainless steel transfer lines to designated storage tanks or directly into the manufacturing equipment. Drummed, bagged, or other nonbulk materials are load/unloaded at shipping/receiving docks and are not exposed to Stormwater. Hazardous waste at Unitex is shipped off -site to Permitted Disposal Facilities via Permitted Transportation. Nonhazardous waste is disposed of to permitted secure landfills, permitted Waste Disposal Facilities, or through BFI; dumpsters are on -site for such collection for disposal through BF1. Nonhazardous waste that is acceptable to the sanitary landfill is shipped to the Greensboro landfill. Issue Date: 5/21/98 Supersedes: 2/1/95 Page 2 of 13 SITE MAP Attached is a site map of the Unitex Chemical Facility showing the following: 1. Industrial activities 2. Drainage areas for each outfall 3. Activities occurring in the drainage area 4. Building locations 5. Impervious areas Approximately 58 percent of the drainage area associated with industrial activity is impervious. There are two outfalls as shown on the site map. The potential pollutants at each outfall are essentially identical. The potential pollutants include: 1. Raw materials used in manufacturing include various alcohols, organic acids and anhydrides, sulfonyl chlorides, inorganic alkaline materials, and organic solvents. 2. Finished products, including esters, sulfonamides, polymers, and other specialty organic compounds. During the past three years, there have been no significant spills or leaks of ,pollutants that have come into contact with Stormwater discharges. Issue Date: 5/21/98 Supersedes: 211I95 Page 3 of 13 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN At Unitex, all loading/unloading areas are covered, with the exception of the Tankwagon unloading area behind the LP-2 Production area. The area behind LP-2 is used primarily for unloading molten materials which solidify quickly upon cooling and present minimal danger to stormwater contamination. In addition, the area has sloped drainage to sumps, which empty into the waste water collection tank for ultimate discharge to the Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). All manufacturing areas are covered to prevent exposure to stormwater. Any empty containers stored outside shall be triple rinsed and any bungs, caps, or other closures shall be in place prior to being moved outside. All outside storage tanks are diked with connections only for recovery of material in the event of a spill or for discharge to the POTW. No discharges from the diked areas shall be released to the stormwater drainage system. The manufacturing areas (UP-1, UP-2, LP-1, LP-2), flammable storage warehouse, drum storage heated warehouse, centrifuge building, and pilot plant are designed to contain accidental spills or leaks and prevent their run off to the outside. Issue Date: 5121/98 Supersedes: 2/1/95 Page 5 of 13 SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLAN Potential pollutant sources at Unitex include: Failed or broken valves, transfer lines, or hoses during loading/unloading operations. 2. Accidental release of material from reactors, if a rupture disc or pressure release valve is activated, or in the event of broken valves or lines. 3. Accidental spills while transporting containers between the production/warehouse areas and the flammable storage or hot room buildings. 4. Water from fire fighting/damage control operations in the event of a fire or other unplanned event requiring large amounts of water release. Any person in the Unitex Facility, upon discovery of an actual or threatened release to the stormwater, shall immediately inform his shift supervisor or the Plant Manager. If unable to contact these persons, the person shall dial 911 and describe the problem to the fullest extent possible. Actions to prevent run-off of the contaminated stormwater shall be initiated promptly. A back hoe/front-end loader located at the facility is available to create earthen dams to help prevent contaminated stormwater from entering the stormwater discharge points. Such retained stormwater shall be evaluated, with the assistance and concurrence of the POTW, for discharge to the POTW. If this is not allowed, the contaminated water shall be pumped into one or more of the diked areas for disposal, as determined appropriate by environmental management, plant management and corporate management, and in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations. The Unitex facility is inspected by an outside security service and by supervisory/administrative personnel during weekends, holidays, and other shutdown periods for general conditions of the facility, including spills and leaks that may pollute storm water discharges. Issue Date: 5/21/98 Supersedes: 2/1/95 Page 6 of 13 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAM Prevention of contaminants into the stormwater system at Unitex will be accomplished by: 1. Inspection of all operating equipment, storage areas, storage tanks, and loading/ unloading areas for leaking lines, valves, and associated equipment. This shall be done in conjunction with the monthly inspections conducted by the Maintenance Department and documented on the inspection reports. 2. Daily washing down the production areas, so that spilled materials will not be "tracked" outdoors for potential stormwater contamination.

These physical changes include: . Installation of a Bulk Liquid Nitrogen Storage Tank + Installation of a self-contained Centrifuge Building with equipment for the isolation of solid products. • Installation of a concreted, diked tank farm with storage tanks. • Removal of all underground storage tanks with closure from the state. • Complete renovation of the process plant equipment to improve efficiency and operability. A number of chemical processes have been discontinued in order to limit risks to the environment, namely most Phthalate esters (e.g. Dimethyl phthalate, Diethyl phthalate). New product development has focused on the creation, development and production of "environmentally -friendly" processes and products. No significant spills have occurred inside or outside in the process plant or the facility perimeter over the last 5 years. ®RO STORMWATER DISCHARGE OU'TFALL (SDO) VISUAL MONITORING REPORT Certificate of Coverage No. -NCG NCS000107 Facility Name: Unitex Chemical Corp.

Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director February 19, 1999 MELVIN E HOOPER UNITEX CHEMICAL CORPORATION PO BOX 16344 GREENSBORO, NC 27406 4�• NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT ANo NATURAL RESOURCES Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Renewal Unitex Chemical Corporation Permit Number NCS000107 Guilford County Dear Permittee: Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000107. This permit expires on August 31, 1999. In order to assure your continued coverage under your permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find an individual permit renewal application form, supplemental information request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification. Filing the application form along with the requested supplimental information will constitute your application for renewal of your permit. The application form must be completed and returned along with all requested information within thirty days of receipt of this letter in order to constitute a timely renewal filing. Recent legislation modified the fee structure for DWQ permits. Renewal fees have been eliminated and annual fees have been changed. The new annual fee for your permit is now $715.00 (you will be invoiced later this year for your annual fee.) A copy of the new fee schedule is enclosed in this package. Failure to request renewal within the time period indicated may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to S 10,000 per day.
