SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, herein after referred to as
the Plan. This Plan shall be considered public information in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section E, Paragraph 3 of this individual permit. The Plan shall include, at a
minimum, the following items:
Site Plan. The -site plan shall provide a description of the physical facility and .the
potential pollutant sources which may be expected to contribute to contamination of
stormwater discharges. The site plan shall contain the following:
a. A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted
equivalent map), showing the facility's location in relation to transportation
routes and surface waters, the name of the receiving water(s) to which the
stormwater outfall(s) discharges, 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 Iongitude of the point(s) of discharge.
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.
C. A site map drawn to scale with the following items. A copy of this map shall be
provided to
the Division within nine months of the effective date of this permit:
(1)
Distance legend and north arrow
(2)
Location of industrial activities (including storage of materials,
disposal areas, process areas and loading and unloading areas)

Delineated drainage areas for each outfall
(5)
Drainage area for each outfall in acres and percentage of
each drainage area that is impervious
(6)
Building locations
(7)
Existing BMPs and impervious surfaces
(S)
For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants that
could be expected to be present in the stormwater discharge.
d. A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants that have occurred at the facility
during the 3 previous years and any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill
impacts.
e. Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of
non-stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in
accordance with the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section

Part 11 Page 1 of 8

Permit No. NCS000244
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
a. Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
b. Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment
for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority
chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and. spills from
contaminating stormwater runoff. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall. be
secured with.a locking mechanism] and any stormwater that accumulates in the
containment area shall be tested for isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, methanol, and tert-
butyl alcohol using gas chromatography prior to being released. Accumulated
stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated. The benchmarks
listed in Table 3 of this permit will be used to determine contamination. The
monitoring discussed in this paragraph must be continued until the permit is
renewed, rescinded, or revoked. Records documenting the results of the gas
chromatography tests, the individual making the observation, the description of
the accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept until
the permit is renewed, rescinded or revoked.
C. BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities
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 ofthe SPRP;`but may
Part I1 Page 2 of 8

Permit No. NCS000244
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 program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporated into the program.
5. Employee Training. Training schedules shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and
preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel
(or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified.
6. Responsible Party. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan 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 Plan 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.
8. Facility Inspection Program. Facilities are required to inspect all stormwater systems on
at least a semi-annual schedule, once in the fall (September -November) and once in the
spring (April - June). The inspection and any subsequent maintenance activities
performed shall be documented, recording date and time of inspection, individual(s)
making the inspection and a narrative description of the facility's stormwater control
systems, plant equipment and systems. Records of these inspections shall be incorporated
into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring as required in Part II of this permit shall
be performed in addition to facility inspections.
9. Implementation. The permittee shall document all monitoring, measurements,
inspections and maintenance activities and training provided to employees, including the
log of the sampling data and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with the
industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE 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
Plan.
All qualitative monitoring will be performed twice per year, once in the spring (April - June) and
once in the fall (September - November).

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 nineteen 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 nineteen
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.

Part 11 Page 1 of 8

Permit No. NCS000244
2. Stormwater Management Plan. The stormwater management plan shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the exposure of significant materials to stormwater, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
a. Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to stormwater. Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the stormwater management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
b. Secondary Containment Schedule. A schedule to provide secondary containment
for bulk storage of liquid materials, storage of Section 313 of Title III of the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority
chemicals, or storage of hazardous substances to prevent leaks and.spills from
contaminating stormwater runof. If the secondary containment devices are
connected directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices [which shall, be
secured with, a locking mechanism] and any stormwater that accumulates in the
containment area shall be tested for isopropyl.alcohol, ethanol, methanol, and tent -
butyl alcohol using gas chromatography prior to being released. Accumulated
stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated. The benchmarks
listed in Table 3 of this permit will be used to determine contamination. The.
monitoring discussed in this paragraph must be continued until the permit is
renewed, rescinded, or revoked. Records documenting the results of the gas
chromatography tests, the individual making the observation, the description of
the accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept until
the permit is renewed, rescinded or revoked.
C. BMP Summary. A narrative description shall be provided of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be considered such as, but not limited to, oil and grease
separation, debris control, vegetative filter strips, infiltration and stormwater
detention or retention, where necessary. The need for structural'BMPs shall be
based on the assessment of potential of sources to contribute significant quantities
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 ofthe SPRp,'but may
Part Il - Page 2 of 8

Permit No. NCS000244
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 program shall be developed. The program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of stormwater control systems, plant equipment
and systems. Inspection of material handling areas and regular cleaning schedules of
these areas shall be incorporatedl into the program.
5. Employee Training. Training schedules.shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis on proper spill response and cleanup procedures and
preventative maintenance activities for all personnel involved in any of the facility's
operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Facility personnel
(or team) responsible for implementing the training shall be identified.
6. Responsible Party. -The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall identify a specific
position(s) responsible for the overall coordination, development, implementation, and
revision to the Plan. Responsibilities for all components of the Plan shall be documented
and position assignments provided.
7. Plan Amendment. The permittee shall amend the Plan whenever there is a change in
design, construction, operation, or maintenance which has a significant effect on the
potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis..
The Director may notify the permittee when the Plan 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 Plan 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.

SECTION C: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative,butfall 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 - dune) and
once in the fall (September - November).

23. Severe Properly Daman
Means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the control facilities which causes them to
become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be
expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused
by delays in production.
24. Significant cant Materials
Includes, but is not limited to: raw materials; fuels; materials such as solvents, detergents, and plastic
pellets; finished materials such as metallic products; raw materials used in food processing or production;
hazardous substances designated under section 101(14) of CERCLA; any chemical the facility is required to
report pursuant to section 313 of Title III of SARA; fertilizers; pesticides; and waste products such as ashes,
slag and sludge that have the potential to be released with stormwater discharges.
25. Significant Spills
Includes, but is not limited to: releases of oil or hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities
under section311 of the Clean Water Act (Ref: 40 CFR 110.10 and CFR 117.21) or section 102 of
CERCLA (Ref 40 CFR 302.4).
26. Stormwater Runoff
The flow of water which results from precipitation and which occurs immediately following rainfall or as a
result of snowmelt.
27. Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activity
The discharge from any point source which is used for collecting and conveying stormwater and which is
directly related to manufacturing, processing or raw material storage areas at an industrial site. Facilities
considered to be engaged in "industrial activities" include those activities defined in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14).
The term does not include discharges from facilities or activities excluded from the NPDES program.
28. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
A comprehensive site -specific plan which details measures and practices to reduce stormwater pollution and
is based on an evaluation of the pollution potential of the site..
29. Ten Year De*igLi Stog
The maximum 24 hour precipitation event expected to be equaled or exceeded on the average once in ten
years. Design storm information can be found in the State of North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control
Planning and Design Manual.
30. 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.

31. Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDLI
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 pollutanes 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. The Clean Water Act, section 303, establishes
the water quality standards and TMDL programs.
32. Toxic Pollutant
Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.
33. upset
Means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with
technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the
permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly
designed treatment or control facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of preventive
maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
34. Vehicle Mainten ce Activily
Vehicle rehabilitation, mechanical repairs, painting, fueling, lubrication, vehicle cleaning operations, or
airport deicing operations.
35. Visible Sedimentation
Solid particulate matter, both mineral and organic, that has been or is being transported by water, air,
gravity, or ice from its site of origin which can be seen with,the unaided eye.
36. 25-year. 24 hour storm event
The maximum 24-hour precipitation event expected to be equaled or exceeded, on the average, once in 25
years.
