Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal
Hickory Steel
COC Number NCG030325
Catawba County
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://gortal.ncdenr.org/weblwq/ws/su/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://portal.ncdenr.orU eb/wq/ws/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 B, 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],
Sincerely,
for Charles Wakild, P.E.

Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI) report for the inspection
conducted at the subject facility on November 8, 2011, by Mr. Michael L. Parker with this Office.
The enclosed report should be self-explanatory. As noted by Mr. Parker during the inspection,
there are specific sections of your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) that need to be
addressed and/or updated. These areas were discussed with your facility representative during the
inspection and are also noted in the Summary Section in the attached inspection report. As a reminder,
please note that your SPPP should be updated on an annual basis as required by Part II, Section A, No. 7
of your permit.
If you have any questions, comments, or need assistance with understanding any aspect of your

Inspection Date: 11/08/2011 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Facility representative was Mr. Paul Spangenberg with Leonhardt Environmental.
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was well organized and maintained. There were a few very minor
deficiencies noted that should be included in the SPPP at the next update. These include:
1. In the Narrative Description of Practices Section (Part II, Section A, No. 1(b)) of the permit, a list of all potential
pollutants which could be expected to be present in the SW discharge should be included.
2. The site map, as required by Part II, Section A, No. 1(c) should include the drainage areas for each outfall.
3. As required by Part Il, Section A, No_ 5 of the SPPP, the person (or team) responsible for implementing the training
should be indentified in the SPPP.
Site and Outfall Observations
Housekeeping was generally good with minimal exposure to materials associated with the industrial activity. There were,
however, areas of the site which drain to one of the two existing SW outfalls that needs immediate attention. Specifically,
these areas include the graveled area immediately upslope of the main fabrication building that drain into two inlets that
pass under the fabrication building. Excessive erosion has occurred upslope of these inlets allowing debris and sediment
to accumulate both in and around these inlets inhibiting flow and adding to the overall TSS loading in the SW.
Stabilization of the areas upslope of these inlets should be evaluated and inlet protection provided to minimize the off -site
migration of sediment. The permittee should also evaluate the need for a structural BMP, which may assist in TSS
removal.

Dear Mr. Brady:
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection report for the inspection conducted
at the subject facility on November 8, 2011, by Mr. Michael L. Parker with this Office.
The enclosed report should be self-explanatory. As noted by Mr. Parker during the inspection,
the current industrial activities at this site require coverage under the subject General Permit (GP) when
both exposure and a point source discharge of stormwater exist. Based on observations made during the
site visit, you should submit a change of name/ownership form to have the subject Certificate of
Coverage reissued in your company's name. The web site address where copies of the GP and the
change of name/ownership form are located will be sent to you electronically to your email address.
If you have any questions, comments, or need assistance with understanding the requirements of
the Industrial Storm Water Program, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Parker at [phone].

Inspection Summary:
Reason for Visit: Routine
During the site visit, it was learned that Bes-Pac, Inc. no longer owns or operates this facility, which is now owned by
Bakers Waste Equipment and is dba as Bakers Manufacturing. The facility site representative was unaware of the
existance of a SW permit that had originally been issued to Bes-Pac. The current industrial operations at this facility are
consistent with the operations during the time Bes-Pac owned this site.
The site was examined during the inspection for the existance of exposure and a point source conveyance of SW. Based
on the current definition of exposure (see enclosed copy), and the fact that at least one or more point source conveyances
of SW exist on this site, the current owner will be expected to acquire and maintain SW permit coverage. Information
regarding SW permit applications and other forms and documents necessary to maintain coverage under the Industrial
SW program will be forwarded to the facility contact electronically.

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://h2o.enr.state.nc.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.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Mike Parker of the Mooresville
Regional Office at 704-663-1699 or Bill Mills of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at [phone], ext. 548
