Subject: Relief from Monthly Monitoring
Stormwater Permit # NCG030259
Blum Inc.
Lincoln County
We are in receipt of your May 12, 2017 letter received in our office on May 15, 2017 requesting
relief from monthly monitoring at the Stanley facility. Based on the information provided the facility is in
compliance with the tiered response actions and other conditions of the NCG030000 General Permit.
Therefore, the Division is granting regulatory relief from the Tier responses. Upon receipt of this letter,
the subject facility may resume the permit specified semi-annual analytical monitoring for the remainder
of the current permit term which expires on October 31, 2017. This decision applies only to the copper
and zinc benchmarks. A benchmark exceedance of any other parameter listed in your permit will trigger
the tiered response actions as described in the general permit.
You must notify this office, in writing, within five business days if you become aware of any
significant source of copper or zinc at your facility that has the potential to be exposed to stormwater.
The relief granted in this letter is contingent upon the current industrial practices at Engineered
Sintered Components. If industrial practices change and copper or zinc does become a significant
stormwater exposure risk or significant zinc or copper values have been recorded during regular
sampling events, then this office reserves the right to withdraw this decision and reinstate the permit
specified tiered response or other actions that may be warranted by the new set of circumstances.

Attached are a completed original and one (1) copy of Blum's Storrnwater Discharge Outfall (SDO)
Monitoring Report form from the stormwater sampling event conducted at our facility on April 3, 2017.
The facility is currently under a Tier Ill status at one of the facility outfalls (SW003) for four (4) separate
exceedances of Total Zinc. As per the stipulation of the General Permit, Blum has notified and had a site
inspection conducted by Ms. Holliday Keen with the NCDEQ Mooresville Regional Office on May 11, 2017.
As observed by Ms. Keen, the facility does not store, manufacture or process any raw, intermediate, or waste
by-products outdoors with the exception of two (2) covered scrap metal dumpsters.
Facility BMP's are in place to ensure that any scrap metal that may accidentally be dropped outside these
dumpsters during transit are swept up using magnetic sweepers on an as needed and weekly basis. The facility
has spent approximately $60,000 in capital and operating costs for BMP's and stormwater outfall
rehabilitation in order to improve the quality of stormwater discharged from the site.
Theretbre, at this time, we are requesting that the facility be granted relief from the monthly monitoring and
tiered status for all stormwater outfalls due to:
• The exceedances for metals are slightly above current benchmarks and if potential revised benchmarks
(likely applicable with General Permit renewal in October 2017) are applied, then the facility would
not be in Tier III status. A summary table indicating the current and potential benchmarks that
NCDEQ may adopt and the effect on the tiered status for the facility is provided as an attachment to
this letter.
• The potable water used for landscaping and irrigation which are allowable non-stormwater discharges
contain elevated levels of Copper (72 ug/L) and Zinc (510 ug/L), and,
ont,

Ceall d ouably
l: Sysm

Per the recommendations of our environmental consultants and based on observations by NCDEQ
personnel (Ms. Marcia Allocco in October 2012 and Ms. Holliday Keen in May 2017), the facility is a
candidate for No Exposure status.
We will be applying to obtain No Exposure for industrial activities exposed to stornwater, shortly. In the
meantime, we respectfully request that NCDEQ grant us relief from monthly stortnwater monitoring based on
the factors listed above.
If you have any questions or we may be of further assistance in this matter, please contact me at (704) 827-

Inspection Data: 05/1112017 Inspection Type: Technical Assistance Reason for Visit Routine
Inspection Summary:
This inspection was conducted per request from Blum, Inc to evaluate the potential for relief from monthly monitoring after
slight exceedenees of the benchmark parameter for Zinc and Copper. During this inspection we discussed repairs and
upgrades to the site and investigations of possible sources causing these exceedences including water used in irrigation
and naturally occurring metals. While inspecting the facility, I found that the site and outfalls are well maintained and there
are no materials stored outside 4hat would contribute to the stormwater benchmark parameters.
l recommend that monitoring relief be granted for this facility and encourage Blum, Inc to seek a Stormwater No Exposure
Certification.

1 Monthly sampling (instead of semi-annual) must begin with the second consecutive benchmark exceedance for the same parameter at the same outfall.
I For sampling periods with no discharge at any single outfall, you must still submit this discharge monitoring report with a checkmark here.
3 The total precipitation must be recorded using data from an on -site rain gauge. Unattended sites may be eligible for a waiver of the rain gauge requirement.
° See General Permit, Table 3 identifying the especially sensitive receiving water classifications where the more protective benchmark applies.
5 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).
Facilities that incorporate a solvent management plan into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan may so certify, and the requirement for TTO monitoring
may be waived. The solvent management plan shall include a list of the total toxic organic compounds used and the other elements listed in the General
Permit. For those facilities electing to employ the TTO monitoring waiver, the discharger shall sign the following certification statement:
Permit Date: 11/1/2012-10/31/2017 SWU-245, last revised 10/25/2012

"Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit monitoring requirement for total toxic organics
(70), 1 certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, no dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the stormwater or areas which are exposed to rainfall or
stormwater runoff has occurred since filing the last discharge monitoring report. I further certify that this facility is implementing the all the provisions of the
solvent manaREICOVED
Luded in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan."

Attached are a completed original and one (1) copy of Blum's Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO)
Monitoring Report form from the stormwater sampling event conducted at our facility on February 15, 2017.
The facility is currently under a Tier II status at two of the facility outfalls (SWO03 & SWO04) for exceedances
of Total Copper and Zinc and has instituted monthly monitoring at these outfalls because of the metals
exceedances. The facility has historically sampled for stormwater from Outfall SWO01 which drains Drainage
Area I of the facility. However, during investigations of the facility outfall status, another outfall was
discovered that drains Drainage Area 1. This outfall (Outfall SWO04) is considered more accessible with
regards to obtaining stormwater samples due to engineering controls installed at Outfall SWOOI to control the
stonnwater flow from the facility towards Old Plank Road. Therefore, since Outfalls SW001 & SWO04 drain
the same area within the facility, Outfall SWO04 is considered the representative outfall for Drainage Area 1
and all future samples will be collected from this Outfall.
In addition, these sample results are being reported slightly over the thirty (30) day reporting period due to
splitting the stormwater samples between two (2) certified third party laboratories to verify the stormwater
sample results. While one of the certified laboratories was able to analyze and report the results within the
stipulated time period, the other laboratory has had ongoing equipment issues with its Mass Spectrometer and
therefore results from the 2`1 laboratory is not available yet and if required will be reported when available.
If you have any questions or we may be of further assistance in this matter, please contact me at (704) 827-
1345 (ext. 1133).

Attached are a completed original and one (1) copy of Blum's Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO)
Monitoring Report form from the stormwater sampling event conducted at our facility on December 6, 2016.
The facility is currently under a Tier II status at two of the facility outfalls (SW001 & SW003) for exceedances
of Total Copper and Zinc and has instituted monthly monitoring at these outfalls because of the metals
exceedances. The other remaining stormwater outfall is under Normal status.
A historical summary of the stormwater analyses conducted at the facility is attached to this letter. Due to a
rapid turnover in our EHS staff, some stormwater analytical parameters were not analyzed during
representative storm sampling events. In order to avoid such occurrences, the facility has recently hired an
Environmental Consultant (Fiss Environmental Solutions) to provide guidance with the facility stormwater
sampling program and to develop an updated comprehensive Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3)
which has been initiated and developed as of December 2016.
We are currently investigating the potential discovery of a 4`h stormwater outfall. Technical drawings have
been requested from the engineering firm responsible for the work performed in that area of our facility. It
will be integrated into our SWP3 if confirmed and added to the stormwater sampling protocol.
Historically, the facility has not conducted any manufacturing operations outdoors. In addition, the facility has
eliminated all outdoor storage of materials/products. The only outdoor storage consists of two (2) covered
scrap metal dumpsters. Facility best management practices ensure that any necessary exposure during
precipitation events is not significant. The areas around these dumpsters are inspected and swept on a regular
basis. Magnetic sweeping is also conducted regularly on the main driveway around the facility. We are
investigating the feasibility of installing a permanent cover over the 2 scrap metal dumpsters.
Blum is dedicated to pollution control in all areas of production and will continue to emphasize pollution
prevention in all aspects of its manufacturing and storage operations. If you have any questions or we may be
of further assistance in this matter, please contact me at [phone] (ext. 1133).

Blum Incorporated
COC Number NCG030259
Lincoln County
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 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 October
15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage (COC)
• A copy of General Permit NCG030000
• A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Two copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form
• Two copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater, and it specifies your obligations for.discharge
controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself
with all the changes in the reissued permit. Your facility has six (6) months from the time of receipt of the
permit to update your current SPPP to reflect all new permit requirements.
The first sample period of your permit begins January 1, 2013. Your facility must sample a "measureable
storm event" beginning during the periods beginning January 1 and July 1 of every year (or, if applicable,
report "No Flow," as outlined in Part III, Section E). Also, please note that Tier 3 Actions in Part II of your
permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four occasions beginning on the effective date of this
permit and do not count prior exceedances.
The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last COC was issued are noted either in the
Draft Permit Fact Sheet that accompanied the public notice (http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wQ/wVsu/current-
notices), or in the Response to Comments / Summary of Changes and Technical Bulletin documents that are
posted on the stormwater Permitting Unit's website with the new General Permit. Please visit
http://Rortal.ncdenr.org/web/wqLws/su/npdessw (click on `General Permits' tab) to review that information
for your specific General Permit carefully.

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 B, C: Failure to perform analytical stormwater monitoring may result in the Division requiring
that the permittee begin a monthly sampling scheme.
• Sections B, C: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/I for HQW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters applies to these
more sensitive waters.
• Sections B, 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 B, 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].

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 143-215.1 and
could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
Please note that recent federal legislation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of industrial
facilities in any of the 11 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 Stormwater Staff member listed below or check the Stormwater & General
Permits Unit Web Site at http:ffh2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.htmi
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.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Mike Parker of the Mooresville
