Some of the changes include:
Part II:
• Section A: The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) section, if applicable, has been updated
to the most current language of our permits. Additional conditions for specific industry sectors have
been added to the SPPP requirements in some cases.
• Sections 8, C: Failure to perform analytical Stormwater monitoring may result in the Division requiring
that the permittee begin a monthly sampling scheme.
• Sections 8, C: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/I for HOW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters applies to these
more sensitive waters.
• Sections 8, C: The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease (O&G) has been replaced by the parameter
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) for vehicle maintenance areas, and in some cases, other
analytical monitoring requirements.
• Sections 8, C, D: Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be recorded in the SPPP, or in
separate on -site records if your General Permit does not require an SPPP. Adverse weather is defined
in the "Definitions" section of the permit.
• Sections 8, C. The term "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable Storm
Event." A measurable storm event is defined in the permit.
• Section D: If the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, DWQ may require the permittee to perform corrective action.
Please review Parts III and IV to understand the Standard Conditions of your new NPDES General Permit,
including Compliance and Liability, Reporting, Monitoring and Records requirements; Operation and
Maintenance obligations; and Definitions. Please note that all samples analyzed in accordance with the terms
of this permit must be submitted to the Division on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms available on
the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website above. DMR forms must be delivered to the Division no later than
30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. Also note that existing
permittees do not need to submit a renewal request prior to expiration unless directed by the Division.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. This permit
does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, nor does it
relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law,
rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. If you have any questions regarding this permit
package, please contact the Division's Stormwater Permitting Unit at [phone].

PART I — INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to have facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (N01) and applicable fees. The N01 shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater
associated with industrial activity to the surface waters of the state.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make
application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A NCAC 2H
.0100, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should
be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit
until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an activity
covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may request
that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be provided.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40
CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater
discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion
must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (NOI) form to the Division; must receive
approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge
under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum
Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant -loading
limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to a specific impaired water. For
discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the
facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate applicable water
quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If DWQ determines that
discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard violations, the facility shall
apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of this General Permit. Once
that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have coverage under this General
Permit. Note that the permittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development)
and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site Overview, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan, Part II, Section A.
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity. Such
discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit.
Part 1 Page 1 of 2

Permit No. NCG030000
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until coverage under this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to
discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina, or to a separate storm sewer system,
which has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this General Permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval.
The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of
Water Quality Standards.
Discharges authorized by this permit and site operations must meet applicable wetland standards,
as recorded in 15A NCAC 2B .0230 and .0231, and water quality certification requirements as
outlined in 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
This permit does not relieve the permittee's responsibility for compliance with any other applicable
federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, or decree.

PART II — MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The
SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP
is public information in accordance with Part III, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this
permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater
discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map),
showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the
name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, or if the discharge
is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the
ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the points of stormwater
discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the
site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d)
list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor
process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal
practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be
present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the
stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands;
industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas,
loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all
drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for
each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each
drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious
surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is

Part 1I Page 1 of 10

Permit No. NCG030000
2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. An annual 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 rainfall and run-on flows. 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, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on
away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bulk storage of liquid materials including petroleum products: storage inanv
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, in
order 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 to
stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated
valves or other similar devices which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism.
Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually
observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens, and dry weather flow, prior to
release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found
to be uncontaminated by any material. Records documenting the individual making the
observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the
release shall be kept for a period of five (5) years.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices
(BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on
the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants
to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater
discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for
installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be
reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures
(SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be
identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual
acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on site at all
times during facility operations that have 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 Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure
plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address
the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be
incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
Part II Page 2 of 10

Permit No. NCG030000
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance
and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall
address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site
and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage
areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program
shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of
stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems
that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already
addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and
regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping
shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part
of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-
annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the
second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless
performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from,
and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required
in Part II B, C, and D of this permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and
cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have
the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility personnel responsible for
implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by
the signature of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific person(s) or position(s) responsible for
the overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP.
Responsibilities for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments
provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there
is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of
the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of
pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an
annual basis. The annual update shall include:
(a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3)
years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the
presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater BMPs
(BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a statement that annual training requirements were met in the year past;
(e) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status.
The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report
(DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website (See
'Monitoring Forms'here: http;f /portal.ncdenr.org/weblwq/ws/su/n do essw).
Part II Page 3 of 10

Permit No. NCG030000
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit
a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The
permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part III, Standard
Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made.
9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan and all appropriate BMPs to prevent contaminants from entering surface waters via
stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and traJining provided to employees,
including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with
the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be
kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's
authorized representative immediately upon request.
10. Solvent Management Plan. Facilities that implement a Solvent Management Plan may so
certify, and the requirement for Total Toxic Organics (TTO) monitoring in Part II, Section B.
may be waived. The Solvent Management Plan shall include:
(a) an annually updated and quantified inventory of the total toxic organic compounds
present on site during the previous three years;
(b) a narrative description of the in -plant locations and uses of the toxic organic
compounds, the method of disposal including quantities disposed on- and off -site;
(c) the management procedures and engineering measures for assuring that toxic
organics do not spill or leak into stormwater.
DWQ may at its discretion require submittal, review, and approval of the Solvent Management
Plan as a condition of continuing the TTO sampling waiver. For those facilities electing to
employ the TTO sampling waiver, the permittee shall include the following signed certification
statement on each discharge monitoring report: "Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons
directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit monitoring requirementfor total
toxic organics (TTO), I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, no leak, spill, or
dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the stormwater or onto areas which are exposed to
rainfall or stormwater runoff has occurred since filing the last discharge monitoring report~ 1
further certify that this facility is implementing all the provisions of the Solvent Management Plan
included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan."

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each stormwater
discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must
be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter
interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee
obtains approval from the local DWQ Regional Office. See Definitions.

representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
4 Total Toxic Organics sampling is applicable only for those facilities which perform metal finishing operations,
manufacture semiconductors, manufacture electronic crystals, or manufacture cathode ray tubes. For purposes of this
permit the definition of Total Toxic Organics is that definition contained in the EPA Effluent Guidelines for the
facility subject to the requirement to sample (for metal finishing use the definition as found in 40 CFR 433.11; for
semiconductor manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.12; for electronic crystal manufacture use the
definition as found in 40 CFR 469.22; and for cathode ray tube manufacture use the definition found in
40 CFR 469.31.)
5 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
or local rain gauge reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of
time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified
below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse
Weather in Definitions). A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample
dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted as part of other requirements of this permit.
Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and
recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the
monitoring period (see Part I11, Section Q.

1 Maintain semi-annual analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process (unless other
provisions of this permit prompt monthly sampling).
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No Flow" or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly
monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall or
inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period, for
example does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. The benchmark
values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the implementation of the
permittee's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require
the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions
of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions. In the event that DWQ releases the permittee
from continued monthly monitoring under Tier Three, DWQ's release letter remains in effect through
the subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or
duration.

SECTION D: QUALITATIVE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the permittee's
implementation of the SPPP and to assess new sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative
monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified
in Table 6 and concurrent with the required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is
required to perform further qualitative sampling per the Qualitative Monitoring Response,
below). Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP.
Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must be monitored (See
Definitions).

Permit No. NCG030000
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that
significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate
the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the
Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation,
and response actions shall be kept in the SPPP.
Qualitative Monitorin €Res onse
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating the effectiveness of the perjittee's
implenetaion of the SPPP, and for assessing new sources of stormwater pollution, and for prompting
the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee repeatedly fails to respond effectively to
correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if the discharge causes or contributes to a
water quality standard violation, DWQ may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease monitoring frequency for some or
all parameters (analytical or qualitative);
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

o Technical Bulletin for N.C. General Stormwater
Y Permits NCG030000 and NCG090000
I Technical Bulletin for NCG030000 and NCGO90000 Last Revised 10/25/2012
What is regulated by these two General Permits?
These two General Permits regulate stormwater discharges from two groups of industrial manufacturing ac-
tivities:
✓ NCG030000 (NCG03) for metal fabrication and metal finishing businesses
✓NCG090000 (NCG09) for the manufacture of paints, varnishes, and allied products
What does my permit require me to do?
✓ Develop and implement a written Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) (Part 11, Section A).
✓ Provide secondary containment for bulk storage of liquid materials (Part 11, Section A).
✓Conduct semi-annual self -monitoring of the pollutant content in stormwater discharges, and report the results to
DWQ (Part Il, Sections 8 and C).
✓Conduct semi-annual visual inspections of stormwater pollutant sources, control measures, conveyances, and out-
. falls (Part ll, Sections A and D).
✓Respond to monitoring results that exceed the numerical benchmarks with management actions to reduce the
level of pollutants in the stormwater discharges. The numerical benchmarks are considered as 'action levels.'
Why?
✓The two General Permits seek to reduce industrial pollution in rainfall runoff from manufacturing businesses by
requiring site managers to be aware of, and control, the potential for polluted runoff.
✓ Federal and state laws and regulations require the control of industrial pollution in stormwater runoff.
✓Those laws and regulations reflect the public's support for providing for clean natural waters in our state and
nation.
What has chan ed since the last renewals in 2007?
Common chancres to both General Permits:
• The required content of the SPPP has been expanded slightly and clarified in minor ways in several paragraphs.
• The permittee may now sample discharges from any measureable storm event, rather than from a representative
event. This change should make it easier to obtain a sample from a qualifying rain event.
• The permit text now clarifies that failure to sample due to adverse weather, or due to no discharge during the nor-
mal monitoring period, may be excused. However, the permits now require additional monthly monitoring for un-
excused failures to monitor.
• Vehicle Maintenance Areas (VMA) shall be monitored for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) rather than Oil &
Grease (O&G).
• VMA monitoring is now triggered by the total oil usage for motor oil plus hydraulic oil. The trigger remains at a total
of 55 gallons per month, average.
. A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/L applies for discharges to especially protected water classifications.
significant changes specific to the different General Permits
• For NCG03: Analytical monitoring for copper and zinc have been added to allow more facilities to qualify for cover-
age under this General Permit.
• For NCG09: Monitoring results must be reported in mg/L rather than ug/L; monitoring results may not be reported
as 'non -detect', or 'below detection limit', or other similar notations, but instead must indicate the numerical value
of the reporting or detection limit of the test procedure employed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to monitor all outfalls?
Yes. However, you may request ROS
(Representative Outfall Status). If ROS is
approved, this status allows analytical
monitoring at fewer outfalls. To request
ROS, submit a ROS Request Form SWU-
ROS (from our website) to the DWQ
Regional Office.
What if I can't collect a storm -
water discharge in 30 minutes?
When distances separate multiple out -
falls and preclude collection within 30
minutes of each discharge event, begin
collection within 30 minutes and then
continue until all outfalls are sampled.
Documentation must be kept in the
SPPP.
Can I take more samples than
is required by my permit?
Yes. The permittee may take multiple
samples at any time while under permit
coverage. The permittee may find the
extra sampling useful to quickly identify
causes of benchmark exceedances. All
sampling for the permit parameters
must be reported to DWQ on the DMR
forms.
What if I can't sample because
of bad weather?
Adverse weather is dangerous or it may
limit access for sampling personnel.
Your documentation of adverse weather
and the reasons for not sampling must
be included in your SPPP. A substitute
sample may be taken during the next
qualifying storm event.
What if I don't address visual
monitoring problems?
If you do not respond to problems seen
in visual monitoring, DWQ may require
that you increase the visual monitoring
frequency, apply for an individual per-
mit, implement in -stream monitoring,
install or modify structural stormwater
controls, or implement other controls.
What if I forget to monitor?
DWQ may require monthly monitoring
for a specified time period.
Why did you replace Oil &
Grease with TPH in VM areas?
The TPH test only targets chemicals de-
rived from crude oil. The Oil & Grease
(0&G) test recovers fats from animal &
vegetable sources and chemicals from
crude oil. Because TPH is more specific,
it is a better parameter for vehicle main-
tenance areas. The TPH method we are
specifying is EPA 1664A (SGT-HEM). It is
important to note that DWQ is not speci-
fying the more expensive Gas Chromoto-
graph (GC) TAN method. DWQ found lab
costs for EPA 1664A (SGT-HEM) to be
comparable to O&G test costs. To test
these parameters in stormwater, labs
must perform this test in accordance
with EPA procedures, but do not need to
be certified. Note: A lower benchmark
applies for TPH: 15 mg/I (not 30 mg/I).
Why are there two benchmark
values for TSS?
The 100 mg/L benchmark applies to
most rivers, lbkes, and creeks in North
Carolina. However, some other waters
must receive special protection under
North Carolina water quality rules, and
in these two permits discharges to them
are subject to the more protective
benchmark of 50 mg/L. Those waters
classified as Trout Waters, High Quality
Waters, Outstanding Resource Waters,
and Primary Nursery Areas receive this
extra protection in these permits.
Where and when do I send the
monitoring reports?
See your permit text, Part /it, Section E.
Who can help me? ,
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Offices:
Must I use a North Carolina
certified laboratory?
No. North Carolina water quality rules
do not require that analyses of storm -
water be accomplished by a certified
facility. Please note however, federal
rules at 40CFR136 do require that test-
ing for these two permits be by EPA -
approved lab methods. Analysis by a
North Carolina certified lab is often the
easiest way to insure compliance with
federal rules.
Note that pH is a special case, and
must be measured within 15 minutes
of the sample recovery. You must ei-
ther train on -site staff to conduct pH
testing, or contract with commercial
services to test pH in accordance with
EPA field testing methods.
Must a P. E. sign and stamp my
SPPP?
No. North Carolina water quality rules do
not require that the SPPP be the work
product of a North Carolina P.E.
Who inspects me, and for what?
Staff from the DWQ Regional Offices
shown below will inspect your facility.
They will typically ask to see your SPPP
and will check to see if it is complete and
up to date. They will typically ask to see
your recent monitoring results. They will
typically tour the facility with a focus on
the stormwater discharge outfalls and on
your general housekeeping as a way to
assess the potential for polluted storm -
water discharges. Our staff will always
follow up their Compliance Evaluation
Inspection with a summary letter to you,
restating their findings and, if necessary
indicating whether enforcement action
will be considered in response to those
findings.

0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no
precipitation.
A "measurable storm event" is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter
interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee
obtains approval from the local DWQ Regional Office.

Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG030000 the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued stormwater General Permit. This permit is reissued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between the state of North
Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated December 6, 1983.
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage
A copy of stormwater general Permit NCGO30000
A copy of a Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Five copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form
• Five copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater only, and it specifies your obligations with respect to stormwater
discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself with ail
the changes in the reissued permit.
The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last Certificate of Coverage include the following:
• Part I Section A — A new notation that the No Exposure Exclusion from permitting option may be available to the
permittee.
• Part I Section A — A new provision that facilities draining to 303(d) listed waters, or in watersheds with an approved TMDL,
may not be eligible for renewed coverage under the General Permit.
• Part II Section B Table 1 — An increased sampling frequency from once per year to twice per year.
• Part II Section B Table 3 — Benchmark concentrations now replace cutoff concentrations; the elimination of the option to
avoid sampling based on cutoff concentrations.
• Part It Section B — New provisions requiring the permittee to execute Tier One and Tier Two response actions, based on
the first benchmark exceedence (Tier One) and the second consecutive benchmark exceedence (Tier Two). Tier Two
requires that the permittee institute monthly monitoring instead of twice -per -year monitoring, until three consecutive
monitoring events show no benchmark exceedences.
• Part II Section B — A new provision that four exceedences of any particular benchmark will trigger increased DWQ
involvement in the permittee's stormwater management and control actions. DWQ may direct the permittee to apply for
an individual permit, or may direct the implementation or installation of specific stormwater control measures.
DWQ received a number of comments on a series of general permits similar to this one. A full response to comments can be
found at http://ncwaterquaiity.org/sulindustdaigpinfo.htm. Some comments resulted in permit modifications, others are
addressed in the response document or Fact Sheet. A few specific requests for clarification are addressed below.
1. What is the deadline for having a revised SPPP that reflects the provisions of the new General Permit? DWQ will require
that the permittee have a revised, complete SPPP no later than six months after the date of issue of that permittee's new
Certificate of Coverage.
2. Must analytical results be by a certified tab? What about pH measurements? .All analytical results obtained to satisfy
NPDES permit requirements must be certified, as directed in North Carolina regulations at 15A NCAC 2H :0800, and as
administered by DWQ's Laboratory Section Certification Branch. This includes field pH measurements.

ADDENDUM
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under the
federal Clean Water Act and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in
North Carolina. The NPDES permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990.
Phase I focuses on site and operations planning to reduce pollutant sources.
Through the NPDES permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten
categories are required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit,
depending upon the facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There are
currently 19 active general stormwater permits in North Carolina. One condition that is applicable to
both the general permits and individual stormwater permits is the requirement to develop and implement
site -specific comprehensive stormwater pollution prevention plans (SPPP). These plans are required to
include a comprehensive evaluation of the site and operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent
pollutant discharge: .
Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following
webpage: http:/Wo.cnr.state.ne.us/su/Forms Documents.htm Permit text, technical bulletins, discharge
monitoring forms, and a Notice of Intent [which is the application of for coverage under a NPDES
General Stormwater Permit] can be found at this web site.
The following items are a subset of permit requirements and are listed to assist you and help bring your
attention to certain permitting issues, process and condition requirements of your permit. That said;
please see the above -mentioned web site in order to obtain a copy of the permit such that you may fully
comply with all the conditions therein. Failures to properly comply with conditions of the permit,
like those bulleted below, constitutes violations and are subject to a civil penalty assessment of up
to $25,000 per day, per violation.
• Industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit
coverage under a general NPDES stormwater permit or an individual NPDES stormwater permit
• All persons desiring to have facilities covered by a General Permit must register with the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Applicable Fees.
• This Notice of Intent (NO1) must be submitted and a Certificate of Coverage issued prior to any
discharge of stormwater associated with the industrial activity, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering.
• Once the Notice of Intent is received, DWQ will review and determine whether a Certificate of
Coverage (COC) may be issued. If this Certificate of Coverage is issued the facility is covered
by the General Permit. That is, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater, process
wastewater, and/or mine dewatering pursuant to.the type of General Permit until the permit
expires or is modified or revoked.
• Any other point source discharge to surface water of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization or approval.
• There are currently 19 active general permits. Permit conditions vary accordingly; however, most
of the permits have following condition requirements (you must read your entire permit to ensure
full compliance):
o Development and compliance with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
o Collection, reporting, and recording of Analytical Monitoring

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG030000. This permit expires
on August 31, 2002. The Division staff is currently in the process of rewriting this permit and is scheduled to have
the permit reissued by late summer of 2002. Once the permit is reissued, your facility would be eligible for
continued coverage under the reissued permit.
In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in
advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a General Permit Coverage Renewal
Application Form. The application must be completed and returned by March 4, 2002 in order to assure continued
coverage under the general permit.
Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility
without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215. l and
could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to S10.000 per day.
Please note that recent federal legislation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of industrial
facilities in any of the I I categories of "storm water discharges associated with industrial activity." (except
construction activities). If you feel your facility can certify a condition of "no exposure", i.e. the facilty industrial
materials and operations are not exposed to stormwater, you can apply for the no exposure exclusion. For additional
information contact the Central Office Stormwatcr Staff member listed below or check the Stormwater & General
Permits Unit Web Site at http://li2o.enr.state.ne.us/Su/storMwater.html
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed
Rescission Request Form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the
rescission process has been completed.
It you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Ricky Revels of the Fayetteville
Reuional Office at 910-486-1541 or Bill Mills of the Central Office Stormwatcr Unit at (919) 733-50837 ext. 548
