Thank you Laura. Please let Director know that we will address the remaining items at the site and let you all know
when we have that accomplished. For the record, this plant closed in 2011— not in 2007. We are currently engaged
with NCDEQ Brownfield Program and the site has been accepted into the program and is an active brownfield project.
I've copied our consultant who is working with ATG and the NCDEQ on the brownfield project. We'll reach out to the
inspector and find out specifically what his concerns were and have them addressed immediately.

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

Please note that recent federal legislation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of industrial
facilities in any of the I 1 categories of "storm water discharges associated with industrial activity," (except

materials and operations are not exposed to stormwater, you can apply for the no exposure exclusion. For additional
information contact the Central Office Stormwater Staff member listed below or check the Stormwater & General
Permits Unit Web Site at http:/lh2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stor-mwater.htmi
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed

Dear Mr. Howard, WATER Q,
SEC i E(DI. N
CooperTools - Monroe Plant is currently planning to expand its forging operations and
therefore we need to modify our Stormwater Permit # NCG030000 to handle the extra
materials that will be stored on -site. CooperTools would like to have all three outfalls (001,
002, 003) permitted alike. This would mean that the materials used/stored in the area that
drains to outfall 001 would need to be change from steel and inert abrasive dust to steel, inerC"
abrasive dust, oils, raw steel, solid waste and scrap metal, which are the same materials that
are associated with outfalls 002 and 003.
rti �S f
We would like to continue to use outfall 003 for our representative sample, being that this r
area has the majority of our steel storage, solid waste, and dust collecting activities. If you v
have any questions about this request or any other stormwater issues at CooperTools -
Monroe Plant, please call me at [phone] Ext. 275. =�
Sincerely,
Scott Martz
