Dear Mr. Gee:
On May 21, 2019, I, Michael Lawyer, Environmental Program Consultant with the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division
of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR) along with Lauren Garcia, Environmental Specialist with DEMLR's
Stormwater Program conducted a site inspection for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company — Fayetteville Plant facility
located at 6650 Ramsey Street in Cumberland County, North Carolina. A copy of the Compliance Inspection Report is
enclosed for your review. Mr. Carlton Williams, Regional Environmental Manager, and Mr. Terry Chalk, Emergency Services
Coordinator, were also present during the inspection and their time and assistance is greatly appreciated. The site visit and
file review revealed that the subject facility is covered by NPDES Stormwater Permit NCS000391. Permit coverage
authorizes the discharge of stormwater from the facility to receiving waters designated as Carvers Creek, a Class WS-IV,B
waterbody, and the Cape Fear River, a class WS-IV waterbody, both in the Cape Fear River Basin.
As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to be in compliance with the conditions of NPDES Stormwater Permit
NCS000391. Please refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and observations made
during the inspection.
Please be advised that violations of the NPDES Stormwater Permit are subject to a civil penalty assessment of up
to $25,000 per day for each violation. If you or your staff have any questions, comments, or needs assistance with
understanding any aspect of your permit, please contact me at [phone] or by e-mail at [e-mail].

Inspection Summary:
Inspection conducted as part of the permit renewal process. Met with Carlton Williams, Regional Environmental Manager,
and Terry Chalk, Emergency Services Coordinator. A draft permit had previously been provided to Mr. Williams for review. A
discussion was held regarding the request to remove Thiram from the discharge characteristics in the permit based on the
facility's new process for receiving chemicals in pre -weigh bags instead of mixing onsite. Also discussed the monitoring of
outfall 1 located at the rear of the facility, which discharges stormwater as well as process wastewater including non -contact
cooling water and boiler blowdown permitted under NCG500153. According to facility personnel, they have found no practical
method to separate the two discharge flows. The facility's site -specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was
provided for review. The SPPP contains all required components and associated documentation and has been
reviewed/updated on an annual basis. Monitoring has been conducted and recorded per the requirements of the permit. The
Annual Summary DMR for 2018 indicates that monitoring was inadvertently conducted twice during the second half of 2018
and shows an exceedance of the benchmark value for zinc at outfall 1. There have been previous exceedances for zinc at
outfall 1, which the facility attributes to the commingled process wastewater flows and has correspondence from the public
utility (PWC) that they add a zinc based compound to their water system as a corrosion inhibitor. After the records review,
Mr. Williams and Mr. Chalk guided inspectors through the facility's new operation for storing and processing the chemical
compounds received in pre -weigh bags thereby virtually eliminating any exposure of Thiram to stormwater. Observations
were then made of the facility's oil/water separator, outside chemical/liquid material storage areas that are under shelter and
within secondary containment structures, waste storage areas and two stormwater outfalls. Absorbent booms have been
placed at both outfalls as BMPs to aid in potential pollutant removal.
