Dear Mr. Ward:
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 11, 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 11,
Section A.
3. Monitoring requirements in the draft permit have remained unchanged from the previous
permit issued in 2008. Monitoring is required for Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total
Recoverable Copper (Cu), Total Recoverable Zinc (Zn), Total Nitrogen (TN), Total
Phosporous (TP) and pH. However, it appears that your facility has been monitoring for
parameters required as part of your original permit issued in 2000. The 2008 permit
dropped Lead and added TN and TP monitoring. Please make a note of this in your
process and assure that you are focused on the correct parameters.
Stormwater benchmarks remain in the permit as before. Keep in mind that benchmarks
are not permit limits, but rather guidelines for implementing the Stormwater Pollution

Prevention Plan (SPPP). A benchmark exceedance is not a permit violation; however, the
permittee must respond to exceedances. The draft permit has modified the tiered
response process for benchmark exceedances consistent with other permits in our
program. Please become familiar with the tiered process as proper response under the
tiers may be enforceable items under your permit. Response to the tiered process may
include review of onsite conditions, installation of BMPs or requirements for more
frequent monitoring.
Vehicle maintenance (Tables 4 & 5) monitoring parameters have been revised. Non -Polar
oil & Grease (EPA Method 1664 (SGT-HEM)j replaces Oil & Grease/TPH. The benchmark
for Non -polar Oil & Grease using this method is 15 mg/L. This requirement appears in all
individual stormwater permits; however, it only applies to facilities that perform onsite
vehicle maintenance activities. If the facility begins vehicle maintenance during the permit
cycle, the requirements shall apply. Also, pH monitoring is no longer required for
discharges only associated with vehicle maintenance activities.
5. Language has been added under Part 11 Section D to address potential responses to
qualitative monitoring issues.
6. A new section on Special Conditions has been added in Part II, Section E to comply with
federal regulations requiring electronic submittal of discharge monitoring reports. Our
electronic submittal process is not available for use at thiss time, but we will continue to
provide feedback on when this process will be available.
7. Civil and administrative penalty amounts have been updated to reflect current federal
law in Part III, Section A, 2(b) and (g).
Please review the draft permit and submit any comments to me no later than 30 days following
your receipt of the draft. Comments maybe emailed to meat [e-mail] or
mailed to my attention at NC DEMLR, Stormwater Permitting Program, 1612 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC 27699-1612. With this notification the Division will solicit comment on this draft by
publishing a notice in a local newspaper. Following the 30 day public comment period, the
Division will review comments and take appropriate action prior to issuance of the final permit.
If you have any questions, please email me or call me at [phone].

RE: Southeastern Foundries Corporation; NCS000253
Dear Bradley Bennett:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are
no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas
within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural
heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have
been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists.
In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may
update our records.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature
Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) easement,
or Federally -listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butler@ncdcr.00v or 919.707.8603.

• SIC 3366—Coper Foundries.
• Monitoring —The facility's last permit required monitoring for TSS, Cu, Zn, TP, TN and pH. It appears, however, that
the facility was still monitoring using the prior permit which required TSS, Cu, Zn and pH. Previous permit did have
tier system.
o Since facility was not monitoring according to the previous permit maintain the parameters as is.
Monitoring discrepancies pointed out in the transmittal letter for the draft permit.
o Parameters remaining in permit — TSS, Cu, Zn, TP, TN and pH
o Tier structure adjusted to have the three levels as in current permits.
o Parameter codes added to permit.

the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
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 stntctural and
nonstructural measures. The stormwater management plan, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following: f
a. Feasibility Study. A review of the teehriical 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 storagelareas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations..,In areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, thestormwater` management plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the sto m\ water ru way from areas of potential contamination.
b. Secondary ContammentRequirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title III of the/Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority \chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances 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 directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices which shall be
secured closed with a locking mechanism, and any stormwater that accumulates in
the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam,
outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to
be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five (5) years.
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

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, an oil SPCC plan 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 program shall be developed. The pogram 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, `pro'grarii�'

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 fo'rImplementing 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 that 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 annual update
shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous
three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include
re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges.
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 111, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours.

Measurement Frequency: Twice per year during a representative storm event, 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 permit before the submittal deadline, the
permittee 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.
2 If the stormwater runoff is controlled by a stormwater detention pond, a grab sample of the discharge from the
pond shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless representative
outfall status has been granted.
4 For each sampled representative storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge or
local rain gauge reading must be recorded.

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000253
Southeastern Foundries Corporation
Guilford County
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:
Analytical monitoring changes:
I. Lead has been removed from the analytical monitoring requirements.
2. Total nitrogen and total phosphorous have been added to the analytical monitoring requirements
due to the Jordan Lake Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) approved by EPA in 2007 and the
discharge receiving water being classified as a Nutrient Sensitive Water (NSW).
3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as
defined in Part II Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each
event. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" within 30 days of the end of the six-month sampling
period. Additionally, samples must be taken a minimum of 60 days apart, as specified in Table 2.
4. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of
benchmark values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions,
increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered
program. If the sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark
range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which
require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within
two months. If during the term of this permif, the sampling results are above the benchmark
values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge
outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shaft follow the Tier 2 guidelines which
require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly
monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark
value for two consecutive samples.
5. You are 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. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of
Tables 1, 4, and 5.
7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall
parameter is in this permit, however.)
8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with
analytical and qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater

permits, however it only applies to facilities that do vehicle maintenance. If the facility begins
vehicle maintenance during the permitted timeframe then the requirements shall apply.
Other ermit changes:
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 I1
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
stqrmwater 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.
Please submit any comments to me no later than thirty (30) days following your receipt of the draft.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, this permit will likely be issued in about two months.

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum often analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours. h ,//

Central'Office Review Summary:
1. Owner's Other Permits:
• None
2. General Observations:
This facility has two stormwater outfalls; one at the northeast corner and the other about halfway
between the northwest and southwest corners of the property. It consists of a non-ferrous foundry and
warehouse buildings. There appears to be some outside storage of metal, crates, drums, and two fuel oil
ASTs.
Impairment: The final 2006 303(d) lists this stream segment as impaired for aquatic life due to impaired
biological integrity; and for recreation due to fecal coliform. The draft 2008 lists it as impaired due to biological
integrity and biological criteria exceeded. There is a TMDL in place for this watershed for fecal coliform and
one for cyanide. The sources of fecal in the TMDL were identified as exfiltrating sewers, ss overflows, pets and
illicit discharges; none of which relate to this facility. There is also a TMDL for Jordan Lake that requires
reductions of Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous. This TMDL states that the local governments will
implement and achieve this reduction for new and existing stormwater discharges.
4. Threatened and Endangered: None.
5. Location: 2706 Oakland Ave., Greensboro, NC 27403
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: None.
7. Analytical Monitoring Notes: Performed only once during permit term. Additional monitoring was performed in
2006 and 2007 after the permit expired. Total flow was only calculated for the site as a whole (34.5 mg for a
1.27" rain), instead of for each outfall as required in the permit. Discharge was over the current benchmark for
zinc and copper in all samples.
8: Qualitative Monitorinp, Notes: Performed as required. No items of concern.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
I. Remove non -contact cooling water monitoring since this is now discharged into the sanitary sewer sys(cm.
Remove lead from monitoring due to low sample results_ and since lead is not used. Keen all other parameters.
Add total nitrogen and total phosphorous due to Jordan TMDL and NSW classification.
All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as defined in Part 11
Section B. The pertniltee roust also document the total precipitation for each event. If no discharge occurs
during the sampling period, the permittee roust 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.
3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. hxceedanccs of henchmark values
require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions. increase record keeping, and `;or
install storrnw:ttcr Best 11lanageMent Practices (B VIPs) in it tiered larograrn 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 I guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a
mitigation plan within trV-o Months. If during tire terra of this permit. the. sa.rnplin y results are above the
hCr1Chr77ark values. or outside ofthe henchnaark range, 60r any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall
two times in a row (consecutive), then the faciiity shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which rccluire a repetition of
the steps listed for Tier l and also irrrmediately institute monthly rnonitorin for all parameters at every outfall
where a sainpling result exceeded the benchmark %alue. for two consecutive samples.
4 The pe[-rrrittcc is required to collect all of the analytical and qualitative monitoring samples during representative
storm events as defined in Part 11 Section 13. Qualitative ]not]
otutoring is required regardless ofreprescntative
c.xttfall Statars.
The pci-ImUcc is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote I of .I.ables 1. 4_
and S.
6. The flow reporting requirement has beets removed per C7WQ revised Strategy (The total rainfall paranrcter is ir1
this permit, however.)
Vehicle rr�aintcraance mo rWoring has been re%ised to scm -annually 'n order t€3 coineidc with aaaalvtical Jlid
qualitative monitoring.
Other Proposed Changes to the Previous Permit:
Additional guidance is provided about the Site. Plan requirements. -File site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL cstablished. It must also describe potential pollutants in et3ch
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 outfall~ have been inspected to
ensure that they do not contain note-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part 11 Section
A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stortnwater 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 11 Section A,
The plan must also be updated annually to include a list ol'significant spills and to certify that the outfalls do not
contain non-stormwater discharges.
q. The facility must now implement a semi-annual Facility Inspection Program of the site's stormwater
management controls as specified in Part lI 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 § 122.20(g), the facility may qualify
for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit requirements. Additional intbrmation
is provided in Part I Section A.

stormwater discharges. The certification statement will be signed in accordance with
the requirements found in Part III, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
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: f{
a. • Feasibility Study. A review of the tecliriical and economic feasibility of changing
the methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure
of materials and processes to storriiwater�Wherever practical, the permittee shall
prevent exposure of all storage'areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations.fln areas where elimination of exposure is
not practical, the, storm watenmanagement plan shall document the feasibility of
diverting the stormwater
runoff away from areas of potential contamination.
b. Secondary Containment_Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials: storage in any amount of Section
313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
water priority'chemicals; and storage in any amount of hazardous substances 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 directly to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be
controlled by manually activated valves or other similar devices which shall be
secured closed with a locking mechanism, and any stormwater that accumulates in
the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam,
outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the
accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to
be uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five (5) years.
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 the potential of pollutant sources to contribute
Part 11 Page 2 of 10

Permit No. NCS000253
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, an oil SPCC plan 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 Housekeepmg;Prograih.-A preventative
maintenance program shall be developed. The,program shall document schedules of
inspections and maintenance activities of storrr`iwa\er control systems, plant equipment
and systems. Inspection of material handlirteas-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 fir 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 that 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 annual update
shall include an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous
three years, or the notation that no spills have occurred. The annual update shall include
re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges.
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.
Part 11 Page 3 of 10

8. Facility Inspection Program. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall
occur at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule, once during the first half of the year
(January through June) and once during the second half (July through December), with at
least 60-days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently). 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. These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the
stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring required in Part II of this permit.

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a representative storm event. The required
monitoring will result in a minimum of ten analytical samplings being conducted over the term of
the permit at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO).
A representative storm event is a storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall
and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1
inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge,
and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the
next 10 hours. X.

Proper Operation and Maintenance
The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and
control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with
the conditions of this individual permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate
laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of
back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation
is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of this individual permit.
2. Need to Halt or Reduce Not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or
reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this individual permit.
Bypassing of Stormwater Control Facilities
Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass unless:
Part I II Page 4 of 8

Permit No. NCS000253
a. Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; and
b. There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary control facilities,
retention of stormwater or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime or dry
weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in
the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal
periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
C. The permittee submitted notices as required under, Part III, Section E of this permit.
If the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above, the Director may approve an

Subject: Draft NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit No. NCS000253
Southeastern Foundries Corporation
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Ward:
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:
Analytical monitoring changes:
I. Lead has been removed from the analytical monitoring requirements.
2. TotaI nitrogen and total phosphorous have been added to the analytical monitoring requirements
due to the Jordan Lake Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) approved by EPA in 2007 and the
discharge receiving water being classified as a Nutrient Sensitive Water (NSW).
3. All analytical monitoring has been set to semi-annually during a representative storm event as
defined in Part 11 Section B. The permittee must also document the total precipitation for each
event. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submif 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. Ezceedances 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 outfalI then the facility shall follow the Tier 1 guidelines which
require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a mitigation plan within
two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the benchmark
values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge
outfall two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which
require a repetition of the steps listed for Tier 1 and also immediately institute monthly
monitoring for all parameters at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark
value for two consecutive samples.
5. You are 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. You are responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote 1 of
Tables 1, 4, and 5.
7. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy, (The total rainfall
parameter is in this permit, however.)
8. Vehicle maintenance monitoring has been revised to semi-annually in order to coincide with
analytical and qualitative monitoring. This requirement appears in all Individual Stormwater

NCS000253
Central 'Office Review Summary:
I. Owner's Other Permits:
• None
2. General Observations:
This facility has two stormwater outfalls; one at the northeast corner and the other about halfway
between the northwest and southwest corners of the property. It consists of a non-ferrous foundry and
warehouse buildings. There appears to be some outside storage of metal, crates, drums, and two fuel oil
ASTs.
Impairment: The final 2006 303(d) lists this stream segment as impaired for aquatic life due to impaired
biological integrity; and for recreation due to fecal eoliform. The draft 2008 lists it as impaired due to biological
integrity and biological criteria exceeded. There is a TMDL in place for this watershed for fecal coliform and
one for cyanide. The sources of fecal in the TMDL were identified as exfiltrating sewers, ss overflows, pets and
illicit discharges; none of which relate to this facility. There is also a TMDL for Jordan Lake that requires
reductions of Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous. This TMDL states that the local governments will
implement and achieve this reduction for new and existing stormwater discharges.
4. Threatened and Endangered: None.
5. Location: 2706 Oakland Ave., Greensboro, NC 27403
6. Industrial Changes Since Previous Permit: None.
7. Analytical Monitoring Notes: Performed only once during permit term. Additional monitoring was performed in
2006 and 2007 after the permit expired. Total flow was only calculated for the site as a whole (34.5 mg for a
1.27" rain), instead of for each outfall as required in the permit. Discharge was over the current benchmark for
zinc and copper in all samples.
8: Qualitative Monitoring Notes: Performed as required, No items of concern.

Revised Permit Recommendations: Analytical Monitoring:
1. Remove non -contact cooling water monitoring since this is now discharged into the sanitary sewer system.
Remove lead from monitoring due to low sample results, and since lead is not used. Keep all other parameters.
Add total nitrogen and total phosphorous due to Jordan TMDL and NSW classification.
2. 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.
3. Benchmarks for analytical monitoring have been added to this draft permit. Exceedances of benchmark values
require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. If the sampling results are above a
benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any parameter at any outfall then the facility shall
follow the Tier 1 guidelines which require a facility inspection within two weeks and implementation of a
mitigation plan within two months. If during the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the
benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall
two times in a row (consecutive), then the facility shall follow the Tier 2 guidelines which require a repetition of
the steps listed for Tier I and also immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters at every outfall
where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.
4. 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. QuaIitative monitoring is required regardless of representative
outfall status.
5. The permittee is responsible for all monitoring until the renewal permit is issued. See Footnote I of Tables 1, 4,
and 5.
6. The flow reporting requirement has been removed per DWQ revised strategy. (The total rainfall parameter is in
this permit, however.)
7. 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:
I . Additional guidance is provided about the Site Plan requirements. The site map must now identify if the
receiving stream is impaired and if it has a TMDL established. It must also describe potential pollutants in each
outfall. The map requirements are stated more explicitly. And, the site plan must contain a list of significant
spills that have occurred in the past three years and also must certify that the outfalls have been inspected to
ensure that they do not contain non-stormwater discharges. Additional information is provided in Part II Section
A.
2. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan have been specified in Part II Section A. More
details regarding secondary containment are provided.
3. Additional requirements for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been specified in Part II Section A.
The plan must also be updated annually to include a Iist 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 11 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.

1. Q: Type of foundry? SIC?
a. ANSWER: non-ferrous (brass, bronze, aluminum)
2. Q: Non -contact cooling water monitoring?
a. ANSWER: goes to sanitary sewer system now, so DWQ will remove this from the permit.

2. TMDL Development
Analysis/Modeling:
Load duration curves based on cumulative frequency distribution of flow conditions in the
watershed. Allowable loads are average loads over the recurrence interval between the 95"and
10"percent flow exceeded (excludes extreme drought (>95`hpercentile) and floods (<]0"
percentile). Percent reductions expressed as the average value between existing loads (typically
calculated using an equation to fit a curve through actual water quality violations) and the
allowable load at each percent flow exceeded.
Critical Conditions:
Critical conditions are accounted in the load curve analysis by using an extended period of
stream flow and water quality data, and by examining at what flow (percent flow exceeded) the
existing load violations occur.
Seasonal Variation:
Seasonal variation in hydrology, climatic conditions, and watershed activities are represented
through the use of a continuous flow gage and the use of all readily available water quality data
collected in the watershed.

2. Margin of safety (MOS) equivalent to 10 percent of the target concentration for fecal coliform and turbidity.
3. Turbidity is not a concentration and, as a measure, cannot be directly converted into loadings required for the TMDL. Total
suspended solids (TSS) was therefore selected as the surrogate measure for turbidity and used to develop the TMDL target and
limits (USEPA 1999).

A.
B. Everett Jordan Reservoir Phase I :Nutrient TMDL — Final
Executive summary
The B. Everett Jordan Reservoir (Jordan Reservoir) Total Maximum Daily Load was developed to
satisfy state Nutrient Sensitive Water (NSW) requirements and a federally -mandated TMDL. Both
the NSW and TMDL programs include the development of a calibrated nutrient response model to
support a management strategy to control nutrients and meet the state chlorophyll a standard.
Jordan Reservoir is a multi -use impoundment operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The
reservoir was formed with the construction of a dam on the Haw River in the Cape Fear River
Basin. The lake covers an area of 13,940 acres at elevation 216 feet msl, the normal operating
level. The lake is operated for flood control, water quality (low flow augmentation), fish and
wildlife conservation, recreation, and water supply. Jordan Reservoir consists of two distinct arms
- the Haw River and New Hope Creek arms. The Haw River Arm of the lake has an average
hydraulic retention time of five days and accounts for 70 to 90 percent of the annual flow through
Jordan Reservoir. The New Hope Creek Arm of the lake has an average hydraulic retention time of
418 days. The Jordan Reservoir watershed encompasses 1,686 square miles and includes parts of
Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Durham, Forsyth, Guilford, Orange, Randolph, Rockingham, and
Wake counties. It includes all or portions of the urban areas of Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary,
Burlington, Greensboro, and several other small municipalities.
The Clean Water Responsibility Act of 1997 (often referred to as House Bill 515) included
legislation to further address water quality problems in NSW waters (NC General Statute 143-
215.1(c 1) to (c5)). The act set total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) NPDES permit limits
for facilities discharging greater than 0.5 MGD into the Jordan Reservoir/Haw River watershed. A
5-year compliance period for limits of 5.5 mg/L of TN and 2.0 mg/L of TP was established for
qualifying wastewater facilities. The act also established that a calibrated nutrient response model
may be developed by DWQ in conjunction with affected parties, and the model may indicate the
required TN and TP concentration limits for dischargers greater than 0.5 MGD are different from
those listed above. In 1998, Senate Bill 1366 allowed the Environmental Management
Commission (EMC) to extend the compliance deadline for these dischargers if additional time was
needed to develop a calibrated nutrient response model. The municipalities of Greensboro,
Mebane, Reidsville, Graham, Pittsboro, and Burlington, and the Orange Water and Sewer
Authority (OWASA) were granted a compliance extension in 1999. Facilities that did not seek
compliance extensions were the City of Durham/Durham South W WTP and the Durham County/
Triangle W WTP. Conditions associated with the extended compliance period were achieved and
the calibrated nutrient response model was accepted by the Water Quality Committee (WQC) of
the EMC in July 2002.
The nutrient response model predicted a high frequency of violations of the chlorophyll a standard
in the management area representing the Upper New Hope Arm of Jordan Reservoir. This
management area corresponds to that portion of the lake upstream of SR 1008. As a result of this
model prediction, the Upper New Hope Arm of Jordan Reservoir was placed on the 2002 303(d)
List of impaired waters. The Lower New Hope Arm and the Haw River Arm were later placed on
the 303(d) List of impaired waters in 2006 for chlorophyll a impairment. The Clean Water Act
(CWA) requires that a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) be developed for each of the waters
appearing on the 303(d) list. The objective of a TMDL is to estimate the allowable pollutant loads
DIVQ Modeling & TMDL Unit ii

B. Everett Jordan Reservoir Phase I Nutrient TMDL — Final
and allocate the loads to known sources so that the waterbody may be restored to its intended uses.
All TMDLs must be approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This document
represents Phase I of the Jordan Reservoir TMDL. The Haw River arm of the reservoir was listed
as impaired for elevated pH on the 2006 303(d) list of impaired waters. Phase 11 of this TMDL will
address the pH impairment of the Haw River arm. Like chlorophyll a, elevated pH is a symptom of
excessive nutrient loading to the lake.
Jordan Reservoir has historically been one of the most eutrophic reservoirs in North Carolina.
Excursions of the state water quality standard for chlorophyll a have been noted frequently,
especially in the Upper New Hope Arm. Nutrients from a variety of point and nonpoint sources
reach Jordan Reservoir. Point sources as a whole contributed an average of 1.5 million pounds of
nitrogen and 140 thousand pounds of phosphorus to the reservoir each year. Nonpoint sources
contributed an average of 2.5 million pounds of nitrogen and 350 thousand pounds of phosphorus
per year.
Through the combined efforts of the facilities that were granted the compliance extension and the
Division of Water Quality, multiple modeling tools were developed to evaluate conditions in the
reservoir and potential management strategies for the reservoir. This includes the development of a
calibrated hydrodynamic and nutrient response model for the years 1997 through 2001, an effluent
nutrient delivery model, a nutrient fate and transport model, and a watershed loading model. The
management strategies were determined through multiple runs of the nutrient response model with
a variety of reduction strategies for both total nitrogen and total phosphorus. For each run of the
nutrient response model, the frequency of violation of the chlorophyll a standard was evaluated for
the entire modeled period (1997 - 2001) and for critical conditions during the summer months.
Critical conditions were defined as May through September based on the model results and the
measured data. The two distinct arms of the lake, the Haw River and New Hope Creek arms, were
each evaluated separately. Further, the New Hope Creek arm was separated into the Upper New
Hope Arm and the Lower New Hope Arm. The split between these two areas is SR 1008.
Reduction targets were evaluated in terms of nitrogen and phosphorus loads. Multiple
combinations of nitrogen and phosphorus loading scenarios that resulted in an 8% standard
violation frequency were considered. Ultimately, three different targets were selected for Jordan
Reservoir corresponding to the different areas of the reservoir.

(a) Provides a loadin ca_g equal to 1997-2001 baseline nutrient loads.
Both point and nonpoint sources bear an equal burden for nutrient reductions. For example, point
sources in the Upper New Hope Arm of Jordan Reservoir must reduce nitrogen loads by 35% and
nonpoint sources in the Upper New Hope Arm of Jordan Reservoir must reduce nitrogen loads by

35%. In this manner, the burden for reductions resulting from the nutrient management strategy is
equally borne by point and nonpoint sources.
Point Source Strategy.
Upper New Hope Arm of Jordan Reservoir. All of the available loading was allocated to the
existing facilities. Therefore, there will be no new nitrogen or phosphorus bearing loads permitted
in this watershed. There are four facilities discharging greater than 100,000 gallons per day in the
watershed of the Upper New Hope Arm. These facilities account for 99.7% of the total permitted
flow from point sources. The discharge allocations for these four facilities provide equivalent
concentrations for each facility. For nitrogen, this equivalent concentration is 3.04 mg/L, and for
phosphorus this equivalent is 0.23 mg/L.
Haw River Arm of Jordan Reservoir. All of the available loading was allocated to the existing
facilities. Therefore, there will be no new nitrogen or phosphorus bearing loads permitted in this
watershed. There are ten facilities discharging greater than 100,000 gallons per day in watershed of
the Haw River Arm. These facilities account for 99.3% of the total permitted flow from point
sources. The discharge allocations for these ten facilities provide equivalent treatment levels for
each facility. For nitrogen, this equivalent treatment level is 5.3 mg/L, and for phosphorus this
equivalent is 0.67 mg/L
Nonpoint Source Strategy
The NPS management strategy proposed by DWQ staff builds on concepts implemented in the
Neuse and Tar -Pamlico River Basins. All of the following elements would apply in the
subwatersheds of both the Upper New Hope and Haw River arms, while only the riparian buffer
protection and new development controls - would apply in the Lower New Hope subwatershed.
The proposed strategy would require that:
• All agricultural operations would collectively meet N and P export performance goals as
implemented by local committees (EMC has no regulatory authority over this management
area);
• Stormwater:
o New development in unincorporated areas of all counties except Caswell and
Rockingham are subject to the post -construction stormwater measure of the NPDES
Phase [I requirements and are permitted by DWQ beginning July 1, 2007
o Seventeen of the twenty six municipalities in the watershed were issued permits by
December 2005 to implement all six measures of the Phase 11 requirements, either
alone or as part of another MS4's permit, and were required to begin implementing
post -construction permitting under those permits by December 2007
o All local governments would achieve stormwater N and P export performance goals
from all new and existing development;
• DWQ would require local governments to protect riparian buffers;
• Persons who apply fertilizers to lands in the subwatershed would complete nutrient
management training and a written plan for those lands. A tax on fertilizer would fund the
implementation of this rule;
• DWQ would work with DEH to develop programs to reduce N and P loading from on -site
wastewater (the EMC has no control over this management area);
• DWQ would refine existing wastewater land application permitting programs as needed;
DWQ Modeling & TMDL Unit iv

B. Everett Jordan Reservoir Phase I Nutrient TVDL — Final
DWQ would establish a trading program between point and nonpoint sources and among
nonpoint sources; and
Local governments and agricultural committees would provide annual reports to the EMC.
The EMC would reexamine the management strategy every five years.

Subbasin 03-06-02 is an outer piedmont watershed
characterized by highly erodible soils. Most of the
watershed is forested or in agriculture, with increasing
urban development that can have negative water quality
impacts. Development is occurring along the 1-85/40
corridor in Greensboro and Burlington. Population is
expected to grow by 165,000 people in counties with
portions or all of their areas in this subbasin by 2020.
There are 30 individual NPDES wastewater discharge
permits in this subbasin with a permitted flow of 76.6
MGD (Figure 5). The largest are Burlington Eastside
W WTP (12.0 MGD), Graham W WTP (3.5 MGD),
Mebane W WTP (2.5 MGD), North Buffalo W WTP (16
MGD) and T.Z. Osborne WWTP (40 MGD). Refer to
Appendix VI and Chapter 30 for more information on
NPDES permit holders. Issues related to compliance with
NPDES permit conditions are discussed below in Section
2.3 for Impaired waters.
In this subbasin, Burlington, Graham, Greensboro, Haw
River and Mebane are required to develop stormwater
programs (Chapter 31).
Mebane There is one registered swine operation, one registered
cattle operation and five registered dairy operations in this
subbasin. Issues related to agricultural activities are
discussed below in Section 2.3 for Impaired waters.
There were 22 benthic macro invertebrate community samples and 13 fish community samples
(Figure 5 and Table 5) collected during this assessment period. Data were also collected from 34
ambient monitoring stations including four DWQ stations, nine UCFRBA (Appendix V) stations,
four shared ambient stations, and 16 City of Greensboro (Appendix V) stations. Three DWQ
bacterial special study stations were also sampled as well as six reservoirs. Refer to the 2003
Cape Fear River Basinwide Assessment Report at http;//�v%vw.esb.enr.state.nc,usJbar.html and
Appendix IV for more information on monitoring.

Waters in the following sections are identified by assessment unit number (AU#). This number
is used to track defined segments in the water quality assessment database, 303(d) Impaired
waters list and the various tables in this basin plan. The assessment unit number is a subset of
the DWQ index number (classification identification number). A letter attached to the end of the
AU# indicates that the assessment is smaller than the DWQ index segment. No letter indicates
that the assessment unit and the DWQ index segment are the same.
2.2 Use Support Assessment Summary
Use support ratings were assigned for waters in subbasin 03-06-02 in the aquatic life, recreation,
fish consumption and water supply categories. All waters are Impaired on an evaluated basis in
the fish consumption category because of fish consumption advice that applies to the entire
basin. In the water supply category, all WS classified waters (4,201.1 acres and 182.3 miles) are
Supporting on an evaluated basis based on reports from DEH regional water treatment plant
consultants. Refer to Appendix X for a complete list of monitored waters and more information
on Supporting monitored waters.
There were 179.8 stream miles (45.7 percent) and 3,811.2 freshwater acres (88.4 percent)
monitored during this assessment period in the aquatic life category. There were 63.5 miles
(16.2 percent) of Impaired waters in this category. There were also 16.5 stream miles (4.2
percent) Impaired for recreation in this subbasin.
2.3 Status and Recommendations of Previously and Newly Impaired
Waters
The following waters were either identified as Impaired in the previous basin plan (2000) or are
newly Impaired based on recent data. if previously identified as Impaired, the water will either
remain on the state's 303(d) list or will be delisted based on recent data showing water quality
improvements. If the water is newly Impaired, it will likely be placed on the 2006 303(d) list.
The current status and recommendations for addressing these waters are presented below, and
each is identified by an assessment unit number (AU#). Refer to the overview for more
information on AUs. Information regarding 303(d) listing and reporting methodology is
presented in Appendix VII.
2.3.1 Brush Creek [AU# 16-11-4-(1)al, a2 and a31
2000 Recommendations
The 2000 basin plan recommended that Brush Creek be resampled and that DWQ work with the
City of Greensboro to improve water quality where possible.
Current Status
Brush Creek [16-1 1-4-(1)aI] from source to SR 2085 (2.4 miles) is Not Rated for aquatic life
because a benthic community rating could not be assigned at site BB93 because of the small size
of the stream.
Brush Creek [16-1 1-4-(1)a2] from SR 2085 to 0.3 miles downstream of SR 3820 (1.8 miles) is
Supporting aquatic life because of a Good fish community rating at site BF69.
Chapter 2 — Cape Fear River Subbasin 03-06-02 20

Brush Creek [16-1 1-4-(l)a3] from SR 3820 to 0.5 miles downstream of SR 2190 (1.6 miles) is
Impaired for aquatic life because of a Fair benthic community rating at site B13364. Turbidity
also exceeded the water quality standard in 10 percent of samples at site BA761. This segment is
Not Rated for recreation because fecal coliform bacteria screening criteria were exceeded at site
BA761.
The Brush Creek watershed drains large impervious areas from the Piedmont Triad International
Airport as well as residential areas west of the airport. Road construction along the I-85 corridor
has also impacted water quality in Brush Creek. DWQ staff noted several storm sewers draining
directly into the creek and evidence of very high storm flows. There is no riparian area on Brush
Creek as it flows through a golf course. A stressor survey conducted in 2003 found habitat
degradation caused by modified watershed hydrology resulting in streambank erosion and
sedimentation continues to stress the benthic community in Brush Creek.
2005 Recommendations
DWQ will continue to monitor water quality in the Brush Creek watershed. DWQ recommends
that the City of Greensboro (Appendix V) continue to monitor water quality at site BA761 and
submit these data to DWQ. Construction of the FEDEX project should use and maintain BMPs
to minimize further disturbance to the Brush Creek watershed. DWQ will determine if intensive
sampling is needed to assess the fecal coliform bacteria standard in this creek (Appendix X).
Further recommendations to protect streams in urbanizing areas and to restore streams in existing
urban areas are discussed in Chapter 31.
Segments 16-1 1-4-(1)al and a3 will remain on the 303(d) list of Impaired waters. Segment 16-
I 1-4-(1)a2 will be removed from the 303(d) list because of the Good fish community rating.
TMDLs (Chapter 35) will be developed for identified stressors within 8-13 years of listing.
2.3.2 Haw River [AU# 16-(1)d2, d3 and el
2000 Recommendations
The 2000 basin plan recommended that a TMDL be developed for turbidity and fecal coliform
bacteria in this segment of the Haw River. The plan also noted that improvements to the
Buffalo/Reedy Fork watersheds were also needed.
Current Status
The Haw River [16-(I)d2] from the subbasin boundary to Service Creek (10.1 miles) is
Supporting aquatic life because no criteria were exceeded at sites BA59 and BA746, although
turbidity exceeded the standard in 9.8 percent of samples collected at site BA59. The fecal
coliform bacteria screening criteria were exceeded during the assessment period, but bacteria
levels were below the standard during resamples the following summer at sites BA59 and
BA746. This segment is Supporting recreation.
The Haw River [16-(1)d3] from Service Creek to NC 49 (2.1 miles) is Impaired for recreation
because the fecal coliform bacteria standard was violated at site BA74. Although this segment is
Supporting aquatic life, the turbidity standard was exceeded in 10 percent of samples collected at
site BA74. Turbidity violated the standard in two storm events monitored by DWQ.
Chapter 2 — Cape Fear River Subbasin 03-06-02 21

A TMDL, completed in 2004 and approved in January 2005, recommended a 61 percent
reduction in Total Suspended Solids and a 77 percent reduction in fecal coliform bacteria from
both point and nonpoint sources to meet the turbidity and fecal coliform bacteria standards in
these two segments of the Haw River (Chapter 35).
The Haw River [16-(I)e] from NC 49 to Cane Creek (18.5 miles) is Supporting aquatic life
because of a Good -Fair benthic community rating at site BB220; however, the turbidity standard
was exceeded in 7 and 10 percent of samples collected at site BA76 and BA90. This segment is
Not Rated for recreation because the fecal coliform bacteria screening criteria were exceeded at
sites BA76, BA90 and BA 118.
2005 Recommendations
DWQ will work with nonpoint source agencies and local governments to identify funding
sources and BMP opportunities to implement reductions in TSS and fecal coliform bacteria as
recommended in the TMD11. DWQ will continue to monitor the Flaw River.
Segment 16-(1)d2 will be removed from the 303(d) list of Impaired waters because the fecal
coliform bacteria and turbidity standards were not violated. Segment 16-(I )d3 will remain on
the 303(d) until water quality standards for fecal coliform bacteria are met, although turbidity
will be removed as a cause of impairment based on data from site BA74. TMDLs (Chapter 35)
will be developed for identified stressors within 8-13 years of listing.
WaterQualrty Initiatives
The Ag Sediment initiative estimates that $650,000 is needed to install field agriculture BMPs
and livestock exclusion to reduce agriculture loading of turbidity and fecal coliform bacteria to
this segment of the Haw River. The survey also noted urban development, impervious surfaces,
and streambank erosion in addition to agriculture as sources of sediment.
In 1999, Graham received a $20,000 CWMTF (Chapter 34) grant to study the feasibility of a
greenway between 1-85 and NC 54 along the Haw River [16-(l)e]. In 2001, Graham received a
$140,000 CWMTF grant to purchase 22 acres along the Haw River as part of the greenway
system. In 2001, Piedmont Triad COG (Chapter 34) received a $65,000 CWMTF grant to
develop a riparian corridor plan targeting 214 parcels along the Haw River.
2.3.3 Horsepen Creek [AU# 16-11-5-(0.5)a and b and 16-11-5-(2)] and Unnamed
Tributary at Guilford College [AU416-11-5-1-(2)]
2000 Recommendations
The 2000 basinwide plan recommended that Horsepen Creek be resampled and that DWQ work
with the City of Greensboro to improve water quality where possible. DWQ, with the CWMTF,
conducted a detailed study of the watershed as part of WARP project to identify stressors and
recommend solutions to water quality problems.
Current Status
Horsepen Creek [16-11-5-(0.5)a] from source to Ballinger Road (1.8 miles) is Not Rated for
aquatic life because benthic community ratings could not be assigned at sites BB369 and BB205

during the last two years of the assessment period. The problem has been remedied and there
were no violations in 2004.
The unnamed tributary [16-11-5-1-(2)] from dam at Guilford College Bathing Lake to Horsepen
Creek (1.3 miles) is Impaired for aquatic life because of a Poor benthic community rating at site
BB68.
Horsepen Creek [16-1 1-5-(0.5)b] from Ballinger Road to US 220 (3.2 miles) is currently
Impaired for aquatic life because of a Poor benthic community rating at site BB61. This segment
is Not Rated for recreation because fecal coliform bacteria screening criteria were exceeded at
site BA762.
Horsepen Creek [16-1 I-5-(2)] from US 220 to Lake Brandt (1.8 miles) is currently Impaired for
aquatic life because of Poor and Fair benthic community ratings at site B13427. This segment is
Not Rated for recreation because fecal coliform bacteria screening criteria were exceeded at site
BA759.
A WARP study was completed in December 2002 in the Horsepen Creek watershed. The study
identified potential toxicity, organic enrichment and habitat degradation from scour, channel
modification, culverting and impervious surface runoff as stressors to the benthic community.
To view the entire report and recommendations to restore water quality in the Horsepen Creek
watershed visit http://h?o.enr.state.nc.us/swpul.
2005 Recommendations
DWQ will work with nonpoint source agencies and the City of Greensboro Stormwater Program
to identify funding sources for restoration projects and BMP implementation recommended in
the WARP study. DWQ recommends that the City of Greensboro (Appendix V) continue to
monitor water quality at sites BA762 and BA759 on Horsepen Creek and submit these data to
DWQ. DWQ will determine if intensive sampling is needed to assess the fecal coliform bacteria
standard in this creek (Appendix X). Further recommendations to protect streams in urbanizing
areas and to restore streams in existing urban areas are discussed in Chapter 31.
All three segments of Horsepen Creek will remain on the 303(d) list of Impaired waters and the
Unnamed Tributary at Guilford College Bathing Lake will be added to the 303(d) list. TMDLs
(Chapter 35) will be developed for identified stressors within 8-13 years of listing.
Water Quality Initiatives
In 2000, Greensboro received a $6,000 Section 319 grant (Chapter 34) to convert two retention
ponds to bioretention BMPs as part of an urban BMP demonstration project. The bioretention
BMPs are located on Downwind Road and Terrault Drive. The NCEEP completed 1.77 acres of
riverine restoration in this watershed (Chapter 34).
Chapter 2 — Cape Fear River Subbasin 03-06-02 23

2.3.4 North Buffalo Creek [AU# 16-11-14-1al, a2 and lb]
2000 Recommendations
The 2000 basin plan recommended that North Buffalo Creek be resampled and that TMDLs be
developed for identified stressors. DWQ also recommended that no new discharges be permitted
to North Buffalo Creek and that Cone Mills connect to the Greensboro Metro WWTP as soon as
possible.
Current Status
North Buffalo Creek [16-11-14-1al] from source to Philadelphia Lake (7.5 miles) is Impaired for
aquatic life because of Poor fish community ratings at sites BF36 and BF64. This segment is
Not Rated for recreation because fecal coliform bacteria screening criteria were exceeded at sites
BA751 and BA750.
North Buffalo Creek [16-1 1-14-lag] from Philadelphia Lake to North Buffalo WWTP (1.6
miles) is Supporting for aquatic life because of a Good -Fair fish community rating at site BF 11.
The fish community rating improved after the Cone Mills discharge was removed and connected
to the Metro WWTP on South Buffalo Creek in January 2001. This segment is Impaired for
recreation because the fecal coliform bacteria standard was violated at site BA742. Fecal
coliform bacteria screening criteria were also exceeded at site BA42.
North Buffalo Creek [16-1 1-14-1b] from North Buffalo WWTP to Buffalo Creek (8.1 miles) is
Impaired for aquatic life because of a Poor fish community rating at sites BF66 and a Poor
benthic community rating at site BB407. Prolific algal growths were noted at site BB407.
Turbidity also exceeded the water quality standard in 7 percent of samples collected at site
BA44. The North Buffalo Creek WWTP (NC0024325) had significant violations of the cyanide
permit limits and three whole effluent toxicity test failures during the last two years of the
assessment period. The facility is conducting a cyanide study to determine the source of the
violations. The smell of treated effluent has been noted at site BF66, 8.5 miles downstream of
the WWTP, There have been odor problems reported and sanitary sewer overflows in the
watershed as well. This segment is Not Rated for recreation because fecal coliform screening
criteria were exceeded at sites BA747, BA44 and BA45.
A fecal coliform bacteria TMDL was completed for North Buffalo Creek in 2004. The
Piedmont -Triad COG and partners completed a fecal coliform bacteria source -tracking project to
assist in TMDL development. The TMDL recommended reductions of 60 to 100 percent
depending on the source and climatic conditions. Exfiltrating sewers, sanitary sewer overflows,
pets and illicit discharges were identified as sources of fecal coliform bacteria.
2005 Recommendations
DWQ recommends that the reductions called for in the TMDL be implemented by the various
sources to reduce fecal coliform bacteria loading to North Buffalo Creek. The NPDES
compliance process will be used to address the significant permit violations noted above. DWQ
recommends that the City of Greensboro (Appendix V) continue to monitor water quality at sites
on North Buffalo Creek and submit these data to DWQ. These data will be helpful in measuring
the success of TMDL implementation. DWQ will continue to monitor North Buffalo Creek to
identify stressors to the biological community. Further recommendations to protect streams in
urbanizing areas and to restore streams in existing urban areas are discussed in Chapter 31.
Chapter 2 — Cape Fear River Subbasin 03-06-02 24

Segments 16-1 1- l 4-1 a I and I b will remain on the 303(d) list of Impaired waters. Segment 16-
11-14-1a2 may be removed from the list, although any restoration efforts or TMDLs for stressors
to the biological community will target the entire watershed. This segment will remain on the
303(d) list for the recreation impairment. TMDLs (Chapter 35) will be developed for identified
stressors within 8-13 years of listing.
Water Quality Initiatives
The City of Greensboro is pursuing funding to rehabilitate the wastewater collection system to
reduce exfiltration and sanitary sewer overflows.
2.3.5 Reedy Creek [AU# 16-11-(1)a and b]
Current Status
Reedy Creek was Fully Supporting in the 2000 basin plan and no recommendations were made.
Reedy Creek f 16-11-(l)b] from SR 2128 to 0.4 miles downstream of Moores Creek (4.2 miles) is
Impaired for aquatic life because of a Fair fish community rating at site BF54. Habitat
degradation was noted by eroding streambanks and few pools and riffles.
2005 Recommendations
DWQ will continue to monitor this segment of Reedy Creek to identify stressors to the fish
community. This,portion of the watershed could experience growth in the next few years. Every
effort should be made to minimize impacts to Reedy Creek. Further recommendations to protect
streams in urbanizing areas and to restore streams in existing urban areas are discussed in
Chapter 31.
This segment of Reedy Creek will be added to the 303(d) list of Impaired waters. TMDLs
(Chapter 35) will be developed for identified stressors within 8-13 years of listing.
2.3.6 Reedy Fork (Hardys Mill Pond) [AU# 16-11-(9)al, a2, a3 and b]
2000 Recommendations
The 2000 basin plan recommended that.DWQ work with Greensboro to reduce impacts to Reedy
Fork. Reedy Fork [16-1 1-(9)b] was Partially Supporting in the 2000 plan.
Current Status
Reedy Fork [16-1 1-(9)al] from Lake Townsend Dam to UT at SR 2782 (6.7 miles) is Supporting
recreation because no criteria were exceeded at site BA757. Although Autumn Forest
Manufactured Homes (NC0022691) had significant violations of fecal coliform bacteria permit
limits during the last two years of the assessment period, the facility had no violations of bacteria
limits in 2004. This segment is Supporting aquatic life because no criteria were exceeded at site
BA757, although Lake Townsend WTP (NC0081617) had significant violations of solids permit
limits.
Reedy Fork [16-1 1-(9)a2] from the UT at SR 2782 to SR 2778 (2.2 miles) is Impaired for aquatic
life because of a Fair benthic community rating at site 1313404. The benthic community may
have been adversely impacted by low dissolved oxygen releases from Lake Townsend dam
during drought conditions. Northeast Middle and Senior High School (NC0038156) discharges
into an unnamed tributary in this segment and had significant violations of ammonia permit
Chapter 2 — Cape Fear River Subbasin 03-06-02 25

limits during the last two years of the assessment period as well. The schools are under a special
order of consent (SOC# S91039) that expires in June 2005. The schools are expected to be
connected to the City of Greensboro collection system and cease discharging by March 2005.
Segment 16-11-(9)a3 is Supporting aquatic life because no criteria were exceeded at site BA38.
Reedy Fork [16-1 1-(9)b] from Buffalo Creek to the Haw River (8.6 miles) is Impaired for
recreation because the fecal coliform bacteria standard was violated at site BA58. This segment
is Supporting aquatic life because no criteria were exceeded at site BA58.
2005 Recommendations
DWQ will continue to monitor this segment of Reedy Fork to identify stressors to the fish
community. This portion of the watershed could experience growth in the next few years. Every
effort should be made to minimize impacts to Reedy Fork. Flow conditions should be
maintained below Lake Townsend to minimize adverse impacts to the downstream benthic
community (Chapter 32). DWQ recommends that the City of Greensboro (Appendix V)
continue to monitor water quality at sites on Reedy Fork. The NPDES compliance process will
be used to address the significant permit violations noted above. Further recommendations to
protect streams in urbanizing areas and to restore streams in existing urban areas are discussed in
Chapter 31.
Segments 16-1 1-(9)a2 will be added to the 303(d) list of Impaired waters and 16-1 1-(9)b will
remain on the list because of the recreation impairment and because of past biological
impairment. TMDLs (Chapter 35) will be developed for identified stressors within 8-13 years of
listing.
2.3.7 Ryan Creek [AU #>! 16-11-14-2-31
Current Status
Ryan Creek was Not Rated in the 2000 basin plan; however, Ryan Creek [16-11-14-2-3] from
source to South Buffalo Creek (4.2 miles) is currently Impaired for aquatic life because the
turbidity standard was violated at site BA754 in 14 percent of samples. Ryan Creek is Not Rated
for recreation because fecal coliform bacteria screening criteria were exceeded at site BA754.
2005 Recommendations
DWQ recommends that the City of Greensboro (Appendix V) continue to monitor water quality
in Ryan Creek and submit these data to DWQ. DWQ will determine if intensive sampling is
needed to assess the fecal coliform bacteria standard in this creek (Appendix X). Further
recommendations to protect streams in urbanizing areas and to restore streams in existing urban
areas are discussed in Chapter 31.
Ryan Creek will be added to the 303(d) list of Impaired waters because of the turbidity
violations. TMDLs (Chapter 35) will be developed for identified stressors within 8-13 years of
listing.
Chapter 2 — Cape Fear River Subbasin 03-06-02 26

2.3.8 South Buffalo Creek [AU# 16-11-14-2a, b and cl
2000 Recommendations
The 2000 basin plan recommended that South Buffalo Creek be resampled and that TMDLs be
developed for identified stressors, and that the City of Greensboro stormwater program work to
improve water quality in this creek.
Current Status
South Buffalo Creek fall segments] from source to Buffalo Creek (24.9 miles) is Impaired for
aquatic life because the turbidity standard was violated in 14 and 1 I percent of samples at sites
BA752 and BA54, Fair and Poor benthic community ratings at sites BB444 and BB406, and Fair
and Poor fish community ratings at sites BF 18 and BF73. The stream is filled with debris and
has undercut banks. Periphyton covered rocks at the site below the Metro W WTP. The Metro
WWTP (NC0047384) also had significant violations of cyanide permit limits, which could have
adversely impacted aquatic life in the creek. The facility is conducting a cyanide study to
determine the source of the violations. South Buffalo Creek is Not Rated for recreation because
fecal coliform bacteria screening criteria were exceeded at sites BA50, BA752 and BA753.
2005 Recommendations
DWQ recommends that the City of Greensboro (Appendix V) continue to monitor water quality
on South Buffalo Creek and submit these data to DWQ. DWQ will continue to work with the
City of Greensboro to identify measures that can be used to reduce stormwater impacts to the
creek. The NPDES compliance process will be used to address the significant permit violations
noted above. DWQ will determine if intensive sampling is needed to assess the fecal coliform
bacteria standard in this creek (Appendix X). Further recommendations to protect streams in
urbanizing areas and to restore streams in existing urban areas are discussed in Chapter 31.
All three segments will remain on the 303(d) list of Impaired waters. TMDLs (Chapter 35) will
be developed for identified stressors within 8-13 years of listing.
Water Quality Initiatives
In 1997, Greensboro received a $800,000 CWMTF (Chapter 34) grant to acquire 40 acres to
construct a stormwater wetland along South Buffalo Creek. In 2002, Greensboro received a
$570,000 CWMTF grant to construct a 20-acre stormwater wetland along South Buffalo Creek
treating runoff from 13 square miles of urban land.
NCEEP has completed 1,752 linear feet of stream restoration in Benbow Park, 2,748 linear feet
in Brown Park, 5,963 linear feet in Hillsdale Park and 1,776 linear feet in Price Park. Also
completed were 5,963 linear feet of stream restoration and 1,200 linear feet of stream
enhancement at Gillespie Golf Course (Chapter 34).
2.3.9 Town Branch [AU# 16-171
2000 Recommendations
Town Branch was Impaired in the 1996 basin plan, but limited sampling resulted in a Not Rated
status in the 2000 basin plan. The 2000 plan recommended that Town Branch be resampled.
Chapter 2 — Cape Fear River Subhasin 03-06-02 27

Current Status
Town Branch from source to the Haw River (4.2 miles) is Impaired for recreation because the
fecal coliform bacteria standard was violated at site BA78. The stream is Supporting aquatic life
because no criteria were exceeded at site BA78.
A TMDL for fecal coliform bacteria was approved for Town Branch in September 2002, The
TMDL called for 70 percent reduction in bacteria loading from urban areas in Burlington and
Graham. The TMDL-also indicated leaking sewer systems, sanitary sewer overflows and failing
septic systems in the lower portion of the watershed as a source of bacteria.
2005 Recommendations
DWQ will continue to monitor Town Branch. DWQ recommends that Burlington and Graham
reduce fecal coliform bacteria loading as called for in the TMDL. It is also recommended that
Graham annex homes in the lower portion of the watershed and connect them to municipal sewer
system. The towns should also pursue funding to upgrade the wastewater collection system to
reduce leaking lines and sanitary sewer overflows. DWQ will determine if intensive sampling is
needed to assess the fecal coliform bacteria standard in this creek (Appendix X). Further
recommendations to protect streams in urbanizing areas and to restore streams in existing urban
areas are discussed in Chapter 31.
This segment will remain on the 303(d) list of Impaired waters. TMDLs (Chapter 35) will be
developed for identified stressors other than fecal coliform bacteria within 8-13 years of listing.
2.3.10 Varnals Creek [AU116-21a and b]
Current Slatus
Varnals Creek was Fully Supporting in the 2000 basin plan; however, Varnals Creek [16-21a]
from source to Rock Creek (4.6 miles) is currently Impaired for aquatic life because of a Fair
benthic community rating at site BB390. Varnals Creek was studied in 2000 to determine if it
would qualify for a supplemental HQW classification. Because of the Impaired benthic
community, the creek did not qualify for the HQW classification.
Varnals Creek [16-21b] from Rock Creek to the Haw River (2.8 miles) is Supporting based on a
Good benthic community rating at site BB359.
2005 Recommendations
DWQ will continue to monitor Varnals Creek to identify stressors to the biological community in
the upper watershed. This watershed is predominately agriculture and DWQ will work with
DSWC staff to further implement BMPs to reduce.the impacts of agriculture in this watershed.
This segment will be added to the 303(d) list of Impaired waters. TMDLs (Chapter 35) will be
developed for identified stressors within 8-13 years of listing.
2.4 Status and Recommendations for Waters with Noted Impacts
The surface waters discussed in this section are not Impaired. However, notable water quality
problems and concerns have been documented for some waters based on this assessment. While
Chapter 2 — Cape Fear River Subbasin 03-06-02 28

these waters are not Impaired, attention and resources should be focused on these waters to
prevent additional degradation or facilitate water quality improvement. Waters in the following
section are identified by assessment unit number (AU#). See overview for more information on
AU#s.
2.4.1 Back Creek (Graham -Mebane Reservoir) [AU# 16-18-(1.5)]
Current Status and 2005 Recommendations
Graham Mebane Reservoir (693.3 acres) is Not Rated for aquatic life because 33 percent of
chlorophyll a samples exceeded the water quality criterion; however, not enough samples were
collected to assign a use support rating. Nutrient levels in the reservoir were higher than in
previous years and nuisance algal blooms were present in summer months. DWQ will determine
if increased monitoring efforts in this lake are warranted to better assess water quality.
2.4.2 Blackwood Creek [AU# 16-11-14-2-41
Current Status and 2005 Recommendations
Blackwood Creek from source to Buffalo Creek (5.6 miles) is Not Rated for recreation because
the fecal coliform bacteria screening criteria were exceeded at site BA755. DWQ recommends
that the City of Greensboro (Appendix V) continue to monitor water quality at sites in
Blackwood Creek. DWQ will determine if intensive sampling is needed to assess the fecal
coliform bacteria standard in this creek (Appendix X).
2.4.3 MoAdams Creek (Latham Lake) [AU# 16-18-71
Current Status and 2005 Recommendations
MoAdams Creek from source to Back Creek (4.6 miles) is Not Rated for recreation because the
fecal coliform bacteria screening criteria were exceeded at sites BA87 and BA88. DWQ will
determine if intensive sampling is needed to assess the fecal coliform bacteria standard in this
creek (Appendix X).
2.4.4 Muddy Creek [AU# 16-11-14-1-3]
Current Status and 2005 Recommendations
Muddy Creek from source to North Buffalo Creek (3.7 miles) is Not Rated for recreation
because the fecal coliform bacteria screening criteria were exceeded at sites BA748. DWQ
recommends that the City of Greensboro (Appendix V) continue to monitor water quality at sites
in Muddy Creek. DWQ will determine if intensive sampling is needed to assess the fecal
coliform bacteria standard in this creek (Appendix methods).
2.4.5 Philadelphia Lake (Buffalo Lake and White Oak Lake) [AU# 16-11-14-1-2b]
Current Status and 2005 Recommendations
Philadelphia Lake (18 acres) is Not Rated for recreation because the fecal coliform bacteria
screening criteria were exceeded at site BA749. Turbidity also exceeded the standard in 10
percent of samples at site BA749. DWQ recommends that the City of Greensboro (Appendix V)
continue to monitor water quality at sites in Philadelphia Lake. DWQ will determine if intensive
sampling is needed to assess the fecal coliform bacteria standard in this lake (Appendix X).

2.4.6 Richland Creek [AU# 16-11-7-(1)al
Current Status and 2005 Recommendations
Richland Creek from source to Richland Lake (3.1 miles) is Not Rated for recreation because the
fecal coliform bacteria screening criteria were exceeded at sites BA758. DWQ recommends that
the City of Greensboro (Appendix V) continue to monitor water quality at sites in Philadelphia
Lake. DWQ will determine if intensive sampling is needed to assess the fecal coliform bacteria
standard in this lake (Appendix X).
2.4.7 Stony Creek (Lake Burlington) [AU# 16-14-(1)a, b and cl
Current Status and 2005 Recommendations
Stony Creek [16-14-(1)a] from source to Benton Branch (4.3 miles) is Supporting aquatic life
because of a Good -Fair fish community rating at site BF26; however, this is a lower rating than
the Excellent rating from 1994. There was evidence of past streambank erosion at the site.
Stony Creek [16-14-(1)b] from Benton Branch to backwaters of Lake Burlington (2.7 miles) is
Not Rated because a benthic community rating could not be assigned at site BB231 due to small
size stream. There were indications of increased sedimentation, and only one small riffle area
was found. Drought conditions in 2001 and 2002 likely have had impacts on these communities.
DWQ will continue to monitor water quality in this watershed and contact DSWC staff to
determine if noted habitat impacts are from agricultural activities or from development in the
area.
Lake Burlington [16-14-(1)c].(738 acres) is Not Rated for aquatic life because 33 percent of
chlorophyll a samples exceeded the water quality standard; however, not enough samples were
collected to assign a use support rating. Nutrient levels in the reservoir were higher than in
previous years and nuisance algal blooms that can cause taste and odor problems in treated
drinking water were present. DWQ will determine if increased monitoring efforts in this lake are
warranted to better assess water quality.
2.5 Additional Water Quality Issues within Subbasin 03-06-02
The following section discusses issues that may threaten water quality in the subbasin that are
not specific to particular streams, lakes or reservoirs. The issues discussed may be related to
waters near certain land use activities or within proximity to different pollution sources.
2.5.1 Jordan Haw River Watershed Nutrient Sensitive Waters Strategy
All land uses and discharges of wastewater and stormwater in subbasin 03-06-02 potentially
contribute nutrients to Jordan Reservoir in subbasins 03-06-04 and 03-06-05. The reservoir is
Impaired for aquatic life because chlorophyll a violated the standard in all segments of the
reservoir. Refer to Chapter 36 for more information on this strategy.
Chapter 2 -- Cape Fear River Subbasin 03-06-02 30

2.5.2 Greensboro Collection System SOC
The City of Greensboro collection system (WQCS00006) is currently under a special order of
consent (SOC) because the North Buffalo WWTP is hydraulically overloaded, causing sanitary
sewer overflows (SSOs) in the WWTP service area that includes the North Buffalo Creek
watershed and portions of the Reedy Fork watershed. The SOC (WQSO4012) was issued
because. Greensboro was unable to comply with collection system permit conditions which
prohibit SSOs. The SOC contains dates by which specific actions must be accomplished. The
SSOs are occurring most often from Hill Street to the WWTP. Greensboro will be building new
pump stations to divert wastewater out of the North Buffalo Creek watershed and enlarging the
primary outfall. Greensboro must build one of the new pump stations in the Reedy Fork
watershed by March 2005. The SOC also provides for payment of penalties for any SSOs
between Hill Street and the WWTP during anything less than a 10-year 24-hour storm event.
DWQ will continue to work with Greensboro or ensure timely compliance with the conditions in
the SOC.

Proposed 2006 MSGP '
F.3.1 Drainage Area Site Map. (See also Part 2.1.2) Identify where any of the following
activities may be exposed to precipitation or surface runoff: storage or disposal of wastes
such as spent solvents and baths, sand, slag and dross; liquid storage tanks and drums;
processing areas including pollution control equipment (e.g., baghouses); and storage
areas of raw material such as coal, coke, scrap, sand, fluxes, refractories, or metal in any
form. In addition, indicate where an accumulation of significant amounts of particulate
matter could occur from such sources as furnace or oven emissions, losses from coal and
coke handling operations, etc., and that could result in a discharge of pollutants to waters
of the United States.
F.3.2 Inventory of Exposed Material. (See also Part 2.1.5.2) Include in the inventory of
materials handled at the site that potentially may be exposed to precipitation or runoff,
areas where deposition of particulate matter from process air emissions or losses during
material -handling activities are possible.
F.3.3 Good Housekeeping Measures. (See also Part 2.1.5.1) As part of your good housekeeping
program, include a cleaning and maintenance program for all impervious areas of the
facility where particulate matter, dust, or debris may accumulate, especially areas where
material loading and unloading, storage, handling, and processing occur; and the paving
of areas where vehicle traffic or material storage occur but where vegetative or other
stabilization methods are not practicable (institute a sweeping program in these areas
too). For unstabilized areas where sweeping is not practicable, consider using stormrvater
management devices such as sediment traps, vegetative buffer strips, filter fabric fence,
sediment filtering boom, gravel outlet protection, or other equivalent measures that
effectively trap or remove sediment.
F.3.4 Inspections. (See also Part 2.1.5.5) Conduct inspections monthly and address all potential
sources of pollutants, including (if applicable) air pollution control equipment (e.g.,
baghouses, electrostatic precipitators, scrubbers, and cyclones), for any signs of
degradation (e.g., leaks, corrosion, or improper operation) that could limit their efficiency
and lead to excessive emissions. Consider monitoring air flow at inlets and outlets (or
use equivalent measures) to check for leaks (e.g., particulate deposition) or blockage in
ducts. Also inspect all process and material handling equipment (e.g., conveyors, cranes,
and vehicles) for leaks, drips, or the potential loss of material; and material storage areas
(e.g., piles, bins, or hoppers for storing coke, coal, scrap, or slag, as well as chemicals
stored in tanks and drums) for signs of material losses due to wind or stormwater runoff.

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).
2 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 F-1 (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) + 0.884] )/1000
Example: Laboratory analysis of your water sample indicates the hardness is 175 mg/L.
[(0.8473)(ln 175) + 0.884]
Benchmark = (e )/1000

The value given in Table F-1 (i.e. 0.014 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 copper:
Benchmark = (e [(0.9422)(In hardness) — 1.700] )/1000
Example: Laboratory analysis of your water sample indicates the hardness is 175 mg/L.
Benchmark = (e [(0.9422)(In 175) -- 1.700] )/1000

state - NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215 .1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the
US Environmental Protection agency dated December 6, 1983.
Please note that the Division has revised the analytical monitoring strategy for individual
stormwater permits. Based on a review of the permit monitoring data received to date, the
analytical monitoring measurement frequencies have been changed and cut-off concentrations
have been removed. These changes will be implemented for all second term individual
stormwater permits with analytical monitoring requirements. For those permits with analytical
monitoring requirements, Part II - Monitoring, Controls, and Limitations for Permitted
Discharges has been modified to reflect the change in monitoring strategy.
The qualitative monitoring strategy remains the same as the first term of the permit.
Please note that the semi-annual qualitative monitoring is a requirement of the permit. Failure to
complete the monitoring as required is a violation of the permit and any permit noncompliance
constitutes a -violation of the Clean Water Act. Reference Part III, Section A, Item 2 "Duty to
Comply", Item 9 "Penalties for Tampering " and Item 10 "Penalties for Falsification of Reports"
of your permit for further information.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit
are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request
within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a
written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed
with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina
27611 -7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part III, B.2. addresses the requirements
to be followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge.

PERMITTED DISCHARGES
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:
1. 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 longitude 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 distance legend indicating location of
industrial activities (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas
and loading and unloading areas), drainage structures, drainage areas for each
outfall and activities occurring in the drainage area, building locations, existing
BMPs and impervious surfaces, and the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious. For each outfall, a narrative description of the potential pollutants
which 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 111, Standard Conditions, Section
B , Paragraph 3.
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:
Part II Pap-e 1 46

Permit No. NCS000253
(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 at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall
staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated
stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by the material stored within the containment area. Records
documenting the individual making the observation, the description of the
accumulated stormwater and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five years.
(c) BMP Summary. A 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 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 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.
Part II page 2 of 6

Permit No. NCS000253
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 I11, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes
have been made.
S. Facility Inspection Program. Facilities are required to inspect all stormwater systems on
at least a semiannual 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
be kept on -site for a period of five years and made available to the Director or his
authorized representative immediately upon request.

to, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, or discrete fissure from which
stormwater is or may be discharged to waters of the state.
18. Representative Storm Event
A storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at least 72
hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm
event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2
hours without producing any collectable discharge, and then stops, a sample may be collected if a
rain producing a discharge begins again within the next 10 hours.
19. Re resentative Outfall Status
When it is established that the discharge of stormwater runoff from a single outfall is
representative of the discharges at multiple outfalis, the DWQ may grant representative
outfall status. Representative outfall status allows the permittee to perform analytical
monitoring at a reduced number of outfalis.
