Dear Mr. Lamberg:
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. Tiered responses have been added to.this 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 in accordance with Part II, Section B of this permit.
3. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in Part II,
Section A.
4. 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.
0 Vehicle maintenance (Tables 5,6) monitoring parameters have been revised
As follows:

1612 Mail Service Center 1 512 North Salisbury Street I Raleigh, NC 27699-1612
919 707 9200 T
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.
o pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated
with vehicle maintenance activities.
5. 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.
6. 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. Comments may be emailed to me at
iulie.ventaloroAncdenr.gov or mailed to my attention at NCDEQ, Land Quality Section,

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

PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SPPP). The SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by
the Division. The SPPP is public information in accordance with Part 1I1, Standard
Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum,
the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a,dLc iption of the physical facility
and the potential pollutant sources that may be expected to'contribute to
contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site'Overview shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle inap'or,appropriately drafted equivalent
map), showing the facility's location in"relation to transportation routes and surface
waters; the name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls
discharge, or if the discharge is to`a municipal separate storm sewer system, the
name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial
activity. The general locution map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify
whether any receiving�waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired
waters) or if the site/is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and wha th 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 H Page 1 of 15
Permit No. NCS000133
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the
stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with the
requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall
contain a narrative description of the materials management practices employed which
control or minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including
structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a
minimum, shall incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices Co eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to rainfall and run on-flow\Wherever practical, the
permittee shall prevent exposure of all storageareasmaterial handling operations,
and manufacturing or fueling operations. In, areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, this review shall document -the feasibility of diverting the stormwater
run-on away from areas of potential nmintion.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirement and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liq id mat rials; storage in any amount of Section 313
of Title III of the Superfund�Amend`ments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water
priority chemicals; and storage,in any amount of hazardous substances, in order to
prevent leaks and spills�fromcontaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary
of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained..lf the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance -systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually
activated valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a
locking mechanism). Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area
shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible
sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater.
Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any
material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the
description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release
shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan
fully compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate
compliance with this permit.
(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. NCS000133
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. /� h
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping -Program. A preventative
maintenance and good housekeeping program,shali 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,,an&haul roads), all drainage features and
structures, and existing structural BMPs. ,The,&ogram shall establish schedules of
inspections, maintenance, and houserkeeping 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 established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
S. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur
as part of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a
minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to
June), and once during the second half (July to December), with at least 60 days
separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater
discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required in Part II B, C, and D of this
permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill
response and cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility
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 I I Page 3 of 1 S
Permit No. NCS000133
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 for
the presence of non-stormwater discharges;(element o`'f the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness_of the on -site stormwater
BMPs (BMP Summary element of the,Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample -analyticabda ta to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the past year,, including.asdiscussion about Tiered Response
status. The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data
Monitoring Report (DMR),form available from the Stormwater Permitting
Program's web sit&,(See `Monitoring Farms' 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 (S) years and made
available to the Director or the Director's authorized representative immediately upon
request.
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each
Part II Page 4 of 15
Permit No. NCS000133
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.

sampling) during a measureable storm event, until ,either another permit is issued for this facility or until
this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the,facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or Three
response actions under the previous•permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring and
reporting schedule in Tier Two ,or Ti � Th ree 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 sampleswithin 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
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.

1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to -be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue.analyticalmonitoring 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 ep r perrriit t re ms 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.

The benchmark values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for
implementation of the permittee's SPPP. An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value
is not a permit violation; however, failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this
permit is a violation of permit conditions.
Tier One
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any
_parameter at any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling
results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: so'u�rcecontrolsoperational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations
within the benchmark range.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within twoinonth f the inspection.
S. Record each instance of a Tier One response iri the,SPPP:-I'nclude the date and value of the benchmark
exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the
date the selected actions were implemented. %
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances,for a different arameter separately trigger a tiered response.
Tier Two
If. The first valid sampling results,fi om 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
aspecific discharge outfall,
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct
monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two
consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three
consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise the
option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional
Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three,
including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.

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 outfallsmust.be performed during a
measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of -each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfalI status. Qualitative monitoring. hall'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�becausee of adverse weather conditions must be
documented in the SPPP and recorded•on the Qualitative Monitoring Report form (see
Adverse Weather in Definitions) OnIySDOs,discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions).
r
In the event an atypical condition ism ted 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.

1 Monitoring Frequency: Twice per year during a measureable storm event unless other provisions of this
permit prompt monthly monitoring. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of
this permitting cycle. The permittee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the permit renewal
process until a new permit is issued.
2 Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall
(SDO) regardless of representative outfall status.
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has
been instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are
ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement
those corrective actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below.
A written record of the permittee's investigation' evaluation,, -and response actions shall be
kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan4��
i
Qualitative Monitoring Response
Qualitative monitoring is for the-burposes 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-ta:
+ require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some
or all parameters (analytical or qualitative)
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.
SECTION D: ON -SITE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more
than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year
shall perform analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 5. All analytical
monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at all stormwater
discharge outfalls (00s) that discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas,
and in accordance with the schedule presented in Table 2 (Section B).

permit is revoked or rescinded. See Table 2 for schedule of•monitonng periods through the end of this
permitting cycle. If the facility is monitoring monthly because o-Tier Two or hree 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 '-is-'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 with in'die.firs3 t0 minutes, sampling shall be begun within
the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed? v
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater water discharge outfall (SDO) that discharges
stormwater runoff from area(s) where vehicleimaintenance 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 11
Section B.
Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 6. The benchmark
values in Table 6 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require
the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record
keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), as provided in Part
II Section B.

Dear Mr. Lamberg:
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. Tiered responses have been added to this 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 in accordance with Part II, Section B of this permit.
3. Requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Plan (SPPP) have been updated in Part I1,
Section A.
4. 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:
State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Energy, Mineral and Land Resources
1612 Mail Senice Center 1 512 North Salisbury Street I Raleigh, NC 27699-1612
919 707 9200 T
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.
o pH monitoring is no longer required for discharges only associated
with vehicle maintenance activities.
5. 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.
6. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current
federal law in Part I11, 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. Comments may be emailed to me at

Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000133. This permit expires on July 3 I.
2012. To assure consideration for continued coverage under your individual permit. you must apply to the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) for renewal ofyour 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.
The application and supplement must be completed and returned to DWQ by February 2, 2012. Failure to request renewal
within this time period will result in delay, of your permit renewal and may result in a civil assessment. 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 Brian Lowther of the Stormwater Permitting Unit

Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000133. This permit expires on July 31,
2012. 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.
The application and supplement must be completed and returned to DWQ by February 2, 2012. Failure to request renewal
within this time period will result in delay of your permit renewal and may result in a civil assessment. 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 Brian Lowther of the Stormwater Permitting Unit

Dear Mr. Haas.
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. As we
discussed, this draft is similar to the draft you received on November 21, 2005. That draft was public -
noticed in the newspaper, however due to staff turnover in our office, the permit was not issued at that
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's 1999 permit:
« - This permit specifies that you are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued
for the next renewal cycle. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5.
« Benchmarks have been added to this draft permit. Benchmarks are not limits, but are intended
to be used with your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan as guidance for acceptable levels.
Please note that your pH sampling for the previous permitting cycle was low,
« All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually.
« You are required to collect all of the analytical monitoring samples during representative storm
events as defined in this permit. Qualitative monitoring does not have to be performed during a
representative storm event.
« Part 11 Section A has been revised. It now specifies all of the items to include on the site map.
« Vehicle maintenance has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.

SECTION C: QUALITATIEVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 4. Qualitative
monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests
are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls is performed when stormwater
discharge occurs but does not need to be performed during a representative storm event.
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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention

E MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Facilities which have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on -site which uses more than 55
gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the'calendar year shall perform
analytical monitoring as specified below in Table 5. This monitoring shall be performed at all
outfalls which discharge stormwater runoff from vehicle maintenance areas.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) which discharges stormwater runoff from
vehicle maintenance areas. The permittee shall complete the minimum ten analytical samplings
in accordance with the schedule specified in Table 2 (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). The permittee shall evaluate the sources of any
benchmark exceedances and evaluate the effectiveness of any site BMPs. The permittee shall
review and/or update the SPPP and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination.

Dear Mr. Haas:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. Please review the draft
very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. As we
discussed, this draft is similar to the draft you received on November 21, 2005. That draft was public -
noticed in the newspaper, however due to staff turnover in our office, the permit was not issued at that
- - �--�-- - --time..— ---- �---------- - -. _—_------
The draft permit contains the following significant changes from this facility's 1999 permit:
• This permit specifies that you are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued
for the next renewal cycle. See Footnote 1 of Tables 1, 4, and 5.
• Benchmarks have been added to this draft permit. Benchmarks are not limits, but are intended
to be used with your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan as guidance for acceptable levels.
Please note that your pH sampling for the previous permitting cycle was low.
• All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually.
• You are required to collect all of the analytical monitoring samples during representative storm
events as defined in this permit. Qualitative monitoring does not have to be performed during a
representative storm event.
• Part II Section A has been revised. It now specifies all of the items to include on the site map.
• Vehicle maintenance has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and
qualitative monitoring.

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfalI status and shall be performed as specified below in Table 4. Qualitative
monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests
are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls is performed when stormwater
discharge occurs but does not need to be performed during a representative storm event.
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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan.
All qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per. year, once in the spring (April - June) and
once in the fall (September -November).

3 April 2007: Kelly Johnson began to follow up with Jonathan Digg's progress on this permit. Re -drafted
permit to include the same parameters as the previous version, but added most current language. Kelly
discussed the situation with the permittee.
Figure 1: Map of Facility
Analytical Monitoring:
• This permittee tested for TSS and pH. TSS was never in excess of the benchmark during the required
testing. pH was consistently high. Jonathan had a note that he had planned to address the pH in the
cover letter of the permit. I will follow through with that plan.

"r 1,
N100 133
Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
l . TSS and pH monitoring has been retained from the previous permit. (These parameters were in the previous
draft as well.)
2. Due to a potential lag time between the expiration of this permit and its renewal, I have*specified in the permit
that the permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of Tables
1, 4, and 5. This approach is recommended because there has been a significant lag time since the expiration of
the previous cycle. This will provide testing if there is a lag in future timeframes. "Measurement Frequency: All
monitoring will be performed two times per year for each year until either another permit is issued for this
facility or until this permit is revoked or rescinded. If at the end of this permitting cycle, the permittee has
submitted the appropriate paperwork for a renewal application before the submittal deadline, the permittec will
be considered for a renewal application. The applicant must continue semi-annual monitoring until the renewed
permit is issued. See Table 2 for schedule of monitoring periods through the end of this permitting cycle."
3. Benchmarks have been added to this draft permit. (This was in the previous draft.)
4. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually. (This was in the previous draft.)
5. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall and event
duration parameters are in this permit, however.) (There was no flow requirement in the previous permit.) (This
was in the previous draft.)
6. The permittee is required to collect all of the analytical monitoring samples during representative storm events as
defined in this permit. Qualitative monitoring does not have to be performed during a representative storm
event. (This was in the previous draft.)
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
l . Part II Section A has been revised. It now specifies all of the items to include on the site map. (This was in the
previous draft.)
2. Vehicle maintenance has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with analytical and qualitative
monitoring. (This was in the previous draft.)
Discussions with permittee: Gerhard Haas, 336.434.9050, 4 April 2007
1. Have there been any additional changes at your facility since you applied for your permit (June 2004)?
a. ANSWER: Nothing that would affect the stormwater.
NCS000133
Recommendations: Based on the documents reviewed, the application information submitted on 1 June 2004 is
sufficient to issue an Individual Stormwater Permit.

Basis for -monitoring
requirements: See attached Monitoring Data Analysis. Retained all monitoring. Concern
about low pH values. Almost all pH values were below 6. Plan to address
these low pH values in permit cover letter.
Basis for other requirements: Monitoring frequency changed to semi-annually in years 1-5. Benchmarks for
analytical monitoring have been added to provide incentive for facilities to
incorporate BMPs to reduce pollutants that exceed benchmark values. These
benchmarks are not cut-off concentrations for monitoring, nor are they permit
limits.
Total Flow monitoring has been removed. The permit still requires Total
Rainfall amount and Rainfall Event Duration 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).

Jenny,
I am following up on a permit that my predecessor, Jonathan Diggs, started at the end of 2005. This
facility is in Archdale.. NC (Randolph County) drains to an UT of the Uwharrie River (WS-III).
Jonathan drafted the permit, sent it to the Region (it does not appear that there were any Regional
comments at that time), and then sent it to public notice ending 12/30/05. There is no indication that
any public comments were submitted. Jonathan left the Division that December, and though there do
not appear to be any significant issues, the permit never got issued. I called the applicant to discuss
the situation and to ensure that there have not been any significant changes. Because it has been so
long, I thought that I would re -send this to you in case you have any recent concerns. Then, I will
re -send it to public comment. Do you have any concerns about issuing this permit?
Thanks,
Kelly

Dear Mr. Haas:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft stormwater permit for your facility. 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 Flow monitoring has been removed. The permit still requires that Total Rainfall amount and Rainfall
Event Duration 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 outfail in acres and the
percentage of each drainage area that is impervious (see Part II, Sec. A).
• All analytical monitoring has changed from annual to semi-annual (once in the spring and once in the
fall). This change is based on the Division's revised strategy for stormwater monitoring in renewal permits
and makes stormwater discharge sampling frequency consistent with qualitative monitoring. Please note
that analytical monitoring must still be performed during a representative storm event (whereas qualitative
does not).
• Instead of "cut-off concentrations", the Division has incorporated benchmark values into the permit. These
benchmarks are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for your facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP). If any measurements exceed benchmark values, your facility should evaluate the
effectiveness of its Best Management Practices (BMPs), review and/or update the SPPP, and document any
efforts to address stormwater contamination (see Part II, Sections B and D).
Please submit any comments to me no later than December 30, 2005. Comments should be sent to the address listed
at the bottom of this page. This draft permit will also go out for public notice. If no adverse comments are received
from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at (919) 733-5083 x 537 or
jonathan.diggs@ncmail.net.

of pollutants to stormwater discharges and data collected through monitoring of
stormwater discharges.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Plan. The Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP)
shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel (or team) responsible for implementing the
SPRP shall be identified. A responsible person shall be on -site at all times during facility
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or
exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must be site
stormwater specific. Therefore, a SPCC plan may be a component of the SPRP, but may

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater subject to the provisions of this permit.
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified below in Table
1.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of nine analytical samplings being conducted over the term
of the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO). The permittee shall complete the
minimum nine analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below in Table 2.
Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values 1pTable 3. The benchmark
values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be u ed f-a-M dwlinesfor the permittee's

SECTION C: QUALITA
ING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requt% a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status Aqdws al be performed as specified below in Table 4. Qualitative
monitoring is for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP) and assessing new sources of stormwater pollution. No analytical tests
are required. Qualitative monitoring of stormwater outfalls is performed when stormwater
discharge occurs but does not need to be performed during a representative storm event.
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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan.
All qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and
once in the fall (September - November).

ANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Facilities which have any vehic en ce activity occurring on -site which uses more than 55
gallons of new motor oil per onth when averaged over the calendar year shall perform
analytical monitoring as'speei 'ed belew in Table 5. This monitoring shall be performed at all
outfalls which discharge stormw terrrunoff from vehicle maintenance areas.
All analytical monitoring shall be performed_ during a representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of nine analytical samplings being conducted over the tern
of the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) which discharges stormwater runoff
from vehicle maintenance areas. The permittee shall complete the minimum nine analytical
samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in Table 2 (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
Storrnwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The permittee shall evaluate the sources of any
benchmark exceedances and evaluate the effectiveness of any site BMPs. The permittee shall
review and/or update the SPPP and document any efforts to address stormwater contamination.

Train employees in spill prevention and response.
Consider covering tanks.
Ensure that all containers are closed (e.g., valves shut, lids sealed, caps closed).
Wash and rinse containers indoors before storing them outdoors.
If outside or in covered areas, minimize run-on of storm water by grading the land to
divert flow away from containers.
Leak detection and container integrity testing.
Direct runoff to onsite retention pond.
Inventory all raw and spent materials.
Clean around vents and stacks. -
Place tubs around vents and stacks to collect particulate.
Inspect air emission control systems (e.g., baghouses) regularly, and repair or replace
when necessary.
Store wastes in covered, leak proof containers (e.g., dumpsters, drums).

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES
In 2000, Jowat Corporation constructed another manufacturing building at the existing adhesive
manufacturing in High Point, North Carolina. Polyvinyl acetate based products are manufactured in the
building, referred to as the PVAc building. Jowat submitted a notification letter to the Storm Water General
Permits Unit (dated November 6, 2000) describing the expansion.
The addition of this building resulted in an additional outfall (004), increasing the total number of outfalls at
the facility from three (3) to four (4). The PVAc building is located northeast of the existing manufacturing
buildings. The new outfall (004) is located east of the PVAc building. The total area added was 6.4 acres
with 0.27 acres under roof and 1.1 acres of impervious area.
There have been no other significant changes in industrial activities at the facility since the last permit
renewal.

Permit Number NCS000133
Randolph County
Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000133. This permit expires
on November 30, 2004. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) requires that an
application for permit renewal be filed at least ISO days prior to expiration of the current permit. 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. As stated above, the application form must be completed and returned along with all
requested information by June 3, 2004 in order for the permit to be renewed by November 30, 2004.
Failure to request renewal by June 3, 2004 may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. 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 $25,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Bill Mills of the Stormwater and
General Permits Unit at (919) 733-5083. ext. 548.

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Renewal
Jowat Corporation
Permit Number NCS000133
Randolph County
Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under NPDES Permit NCS000133. 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 Ietter 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 $10,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Darren England of the
Stormwater and General Permits Unit at (919) 733-5083, ext. 545.
Sincerely,
lw
