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-//portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw#General_Permits NPDES. Permit text,
technical bulletins, discharge monitoring forms, and a Notice of Intent [which is the application for
coverage under a NPDES General Stormwater Permit] can be found on this website.
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.
Please see the above mentioned website to obtain a copy of the permit so you may fully comply
with all the conditions therein: Failure to properly comply with conditions of the permit, like
those bulleted below, is a violation(s) of the permit and subject to civil penalty assessment(s) of
up to $25,000.00 per day.
• 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 filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Applicable Fees.
• This Notice of Intent (NOI) 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 waters 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 the following condition requirements (you must read your entire
permit to ensure full compliance):

Permit: NCG030564 Owner - Facility: Industrial Fabricators
Inspection Date: 11/03/2011 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
DWQ/MRO staff visited four additional facilities owned and/or operated by Industrial Fabirators to determine the permitting
status of each facility. The results of those site inspections are as follows:
Laser Cutting/Powder Coating Facility - intersection of S. York Road and Crowders Creek Road:
- the facility has multiple stormwater outfalls (including an outlet to a large detention basin).
- spent powder coating material, a large inventory of used pallets and metal equipment, open dumpsters and other
containers, etc. were being stored outside on the site grounds.
- a Notice of Intent (permit application) and supporting fee will need to be submitted to the Division for these discharges of
stormwater.
Metal Stamping Facility - 105 Chickasaw Road:
- the facility has one stormwater outfall (at a minimum) with potential exposures from the open dumpsters (for metal
recycling) and used pallet storage area.
- a Notice of Intent (permit application) and supporting fee will need to be submitted to the Division for the discharges of
stormwater. Note: If the dumpsters can be covered and the pallets can either be stored under cover or removed, then
the facility may be eligible for a NO Exposure Certification (separate submittal).
Shipping Facility - near intersectin of S. York Road and Forbes Road (old Rousch Building):
- Minimal stormwater exposures noted at this facility.
- the Maintenance Manager indicated that all stormwater is collected and discharged into the City Gastonia's wastewater
collection system via pretreatmentipumping system.
- This Office should to be notified if the current collection and disposal of the stormwater discharges changes.
Welding Facility - off S. York Road:
- exposures to stormwater runoff were noted (open dumpsters, outside storage of equipment, etc.)
- a determination of a discharge outfall could not be determined during the site inspection due to the heavy growth of
vegetation (kudzu).
- the facility staff will need to evaluate the site to determine if there is a stormwater conveyance (pipe, ditch, etc.) and
proceed with the submittal of a Notice of Intent if a conveyance is found.

Comment: The facility failed to develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP). The facility staff should immediately initiate the developement
and implementation of a SPPP. Please be advised that the implementation of the
SPPP includes documentation of all monitoring, measurements, inspections, preventive
maintenance/good housekeeping activities, training provided to employees, Plan
reviews/updates, and actions taken to implement BMPs.
Qualitative Monitoring Yes No NA NE
Has the facility conducted its Qualitative Monitoring semi-annually? D ■ D D
Comment: No qualitative/visual monitoring has been performed. The facility staff must
ensure that the qualitative/visual evaluations are documented on the Division's
monitoring report form (copy attached to report).

Inspection date: 11/03/2011 Inspection Type. Compliance Evaluation
Reason for Visit: Routine
Comment: No analytical monitoring has been performed. Please be advised that the
pH samples must be collected and analyzed within 15-minutes. The pH analyses can
be performed by the on -site personnel as long as the analytical/testing method
conforms to Standard Methods for the Examination of Wastewater, 18th-20th Editions.
All supporting documentation should also be maintained on -site that includes:
instrument calibrations, date of analyses, collection/analysis times and/or chain of
custody forms, sampling location, lab analyst, laboratory results, etc.
Permit and Outfalis
# Is a copy of the Permit and the Certificate of Coverage available at the site?
# Were all outfalls observed during the inspection?
# If the facility has representative outfall status, is it properly documented by the Division?
# Has the facility evaluated all illicit (non stormwater) discharges?
Comment: The Stormwater Permit was issued on 2/15/2008 (also effective date) with
an expiration date of 10/31/2012. The inspection verified that the facility has one
stormwater outfall. No discharges were observed at the time of the inspection. Several
exposures to stormwater runoff were observed as a result of the facility's industrial
activities. These exposures include: oil residue on the asphalt driveway, waste sand
material being disposed/stored on the site grounds, open dumpsters, etc. The facility
staff should incorporate an appropriate Preventive Maintenance/Good Housekeeping
and Spill Prevention/Response Plans to prevent and/or minimize exposures to the
stormwater runoff.
