Good morning Lauren —
My goal of getting back to you last Thursday didn't work out so well.... sorry about that. I'm back in NJ and addressing
my long to-do list.
Yes, the dumpster has a storm -resistant cover. It is also smaller than last seen by NC-DEQ.
I've attached our formal reply, which consists of the letter and two attachments. (Thanks for confirming this email
reply is sufficient to meet the 8/15 deadline. Since I'm old school, I may also send follow up by Fed Ex.)
Please feel free to reach me by e-mail or phone [phone])

Hey Elaine,
The following address would be fine:
Lauren Garcia
DEMLR Stormwater Program
512 N. Salisbury Street Suite 640K
Raleigh, NC 27604
And my phone number is [phone]. You can also always email me the comments (either way the comments are
saved in our facility file). That would maybe save you some time and money. If I were able to see them today, I can
address them and have the final copy on my supervisor's desk to sign by this afternoon.
Will the facility still have metal materials stored outside in the grass in the parking lot? We noticed this during our site
visit. If these could be stored under a "storm -resistant" cover, I would be able to remove the metal related monitoring
parameters now that there is a cover on the dumpster.

Good morning Lauren —
A few questions/updates:
1. We've prepared our comment on the Draft Stormwater Permit and will be sending it via FedEx (I'll send you a
copy by e-mail also). I've had to truncate parts of your mailing address to fit the shipping label. Will the
following address work for FedEx delivery ?
Lauren Garcia
NC Dept of Environ. Quality, Div of Energy & Land
Stormwater Permit Program
1612 mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1612
2. What is your phone number? (I need it for the FedEx mailing)

3. The site has determined it will be keeping the recyclable metals dumpster after all. It is now equipped with a
cover.
Regards,
Elaine Bradford

Elaine,
That is great to hear, I am glad things have calmed down! Here is the most up to date permit draft. I have also attached
the inspection report from our site visit in May.
Thanks,
Lauren

Yes, it is a good time to start the 30-day comment period. Thanks for asking.

Hi Lauren —
The support team here says that 'benching' for two weeks prior to kicking off 30 day comment period should be
fine. Thanks.
I would like to chat with you briefly tomorrow, as there has been recent change at the site due to a business decision (no
more scrap metal dumpster).
Could I call you, either before 9:30am or after 2pm?
Alternately, my Thursday & Friday calendars look flexible.
Regards,
Elaine

Hey Elaine,
I have received your voicemail and e-mail. Just for clarity, the 30-day public comment period is separate from the 30-day
comment period you get as a permittee. Like you said in the voicemail, the public comment period ended today. All that
really means is that your permit will be ready to go once your review period ends.
We can definitely wait to begin the comment period until EA -EST has been officially re -contracted and things have
settled. Do you think things will have calmed down enough in the next 2-weeks to start the 30-day comment period?
Also, thanks for working so hard to prepare the Affiliation Designation and site contact information!
I have attached the staff report we are using to determine monitoring parameters. This may help during your comment
period.
Let me know if you need more time or have any other questions,
Lauren

Hi Lauren,
This e-mail follows the voice mail which I left for you this afternoon.
We are inquiring to know whether, at this late date, it is still possible to take up your offer to "bench" the draft permit
for a short period. (We just discovered your offer in your May 17t" message to John Bass. As you know, John -- our site
operations manager-- is site contact for this work in light of the recent departure of our site HSE coordinator.)
We have been preparing comment in anticipation of the June 7t" due date. So far, we have prepared name change
requests ('Permit Owner Affiliation Designation' as well as site contact) and an updated site map. And this week we
finalized the process of re -contracting with EA -EST, the engineering company who assisted the site in 2013 with the
original application submitted to your department. They have prioritized our request to review the draft permit,
beginning with a physical visit to our RTP site this morning.
Having some extra time to get EA -EST back on board would be helpful, particularly in light of the site's empty'HSE
coordinator' role (we're hopeful for some good applicants over the next few weeks).
I'm available by cell phone [phone]) or e-mail. John Bass is also available by cell phone [phone]) or e-mail.

Best regards,
Elaine
